Chapter 302: The Welcome of the British
London, in a basement.
Moss and Roy, as the most underappreciated IT employees in the company, are really idle and a little panicked right now.
"Well, have you heard? Princess Diana is divorcing Prince Charles. Roy gossiped.
"Of course!" Moss said with a "Your message is out of date," "Princess Diana is said to have authorized an American writer to write an autobiography." ”
"And this American writer has been approved by Prince Charles!"
"What?" Roy asked in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that a lot of inside information will be revealed?"
"Not necessarily!" Moss shook his head, "it depends on how the writer writes." ”
"A lot of writers are the best at writing a lot, but if you think about it, they don't really say anything. ”
"What's that writer's name? I'm going to look for his work. ”
"It is said that it is called Wang Yan. His works can be seen on the Internet!"
"So advanced online?" Roy said, taking a note, his tone of surprise.
"That's right, so the Americans are more advanced than the British. ”
"They've all started writing books online!"
Moss began to complain about his lack of attention again.
Unexpectedly, his companion did not echo himself as usual, but stared at the computer in a daze.
"What's wrong?" he walked over confusedly, "Is there a problem with the computer?"
"Don't move!" Roy watched as he stretched out his hand, ready to reboot the console.
"This writer's work is very interesting," he said, muttering for a moment.
"What's the point?" asked Moss.
But after waiting for a long time, I still couldn't wait for my companion's answer.
He frowned, and also logged on to the same website, wanting to see what kind of work could make his companion so fascinated.
"King Arthur, is this a fairy tale?" he clicked on the highest-ranked work on the list.
But soon, he realized that he had been very wrong.
Crossing over, witches, technology?
Church, transcendental, cannon?
This...
Soon, he learned that "King Arthur" was such an unusual work.
"Oh my God—" Moss muttered, organizing the language, "it's so interesting!"
"Do you say, is there any basis for this story?" asked the companion.
"Cannons, revolvers, etc., must be fake. Moss replied without raising his head: "But, that war should have really happened." ”
"I heard it in my history elective class at university!"
Finally, half an hour later, he finished reading the updated version of King Arthur.
"It's... If you haven't finished writing, you'll publish it?"
Moss felt that his heart had been hurt by 10,000 points!
He learns from other people's messages, and he also taps on the keyboard.
"Mr. Author, please update!"
"If you come to London, I'll treat you to dinner!"
When he finished writing, he noticed that his companion was drawing something.
"What are you doing?" asked Moss curiously.
"I'm researching the location of this battle, maybe I can go there and pick up some armor fragments or something!"
"Come on! That's it, you really think it's history!"
"Anyway, being idle is also idle. Roy replied with a smile: "This one, I want to travel there after watching it." ”
"Cut!" Moss pouted and walked out of the basement.
About half an hour later, Roy saw his companion return in tourist gear.
"Where are you going?"
"Of course, to the place where you painted!" replied Moss, as he should.
"But, only one of the two of us can take a leave of absence!" Roy whispered, feeling a bad feeling in his heart.
"yes!" Moss nodded, picked up the drawing, and put down another note.
"So, my leave slip has been approved!"
"fuck!" Roy yelled, and was about to chase after him.
"You can be in the office, waiting for the King Arthur update. Moss hurriedly comforted him, "Isn't that not bad!"
Belch...
Roy was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"That's just as well!"
"Cut, fool!" Moss smiled and packed his bags and picked up his notebook.
"In that land, the feeling of watching "King Arthur" must be very different!"
......
At the same time, inside the office of the New York Times.
The editor-in-chief was sitting in a chair, listening to the summary of the work of his subordinates.
Therefore, the news hotspot set off by NBC was so quelled. ”
"And Woodward has left his job and can no longer work in journalism. ”
Regarding the ending of this old opponent, the editor-in-chief felt a trace of sadness in his heart.
However, he was more concerned with another part of the report.
"Is that best-selling author's really starting to catch on in the UK?"
After receiving an affirmative reply, the editor-in-chief fell into deep thought.
Americans' feelings towards Britain are very complicated.
They not only looked down on the British attitude, but they also envied each other all the time.
This can be proved by the fact that British actors, who do not have any strong capital, can stand out in their own in Hollywood.
And the British accent is generally considered to be sexier, which is an outward manifestation of this psychology.
"If American writers can be sought after in Britain, it will undoubtedly strongly satisfy the vanity of Americans!"
As for whether he would offend the Viacom Group, he didn't care.
Just like the rise of websites, which infringes on the interests of large media groups.
The Viacom Group, which used television as a medium to expand into movies and surrounding areas, also infringed on the interests of traditional newspapers.
At this time, if you don't activate the traditional skills of the media, "stepping on the high and low, and falling into the well", when will it be?
You know, in order to sell a few more newspapers and expand their influence, they dared to put the tragic situation of Kennedy's skull being overturned, and the "New York Times" printed naked in the newspaper without cover!
"You can make a special topic about this matter. The editor-in-chief thought for a moment and began to command.
"Just like those unpopular art film directors, after winning an award in Europe, someone will buy it!"
"But..."The subordinate hesitated for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Wang's, it's also very popular in the United States!"
"Then focus on the control bill and highlight the unfair treatment he has suffered. ”
"Remember, you have to create a contrast to have a selling point!" the editor-in-chief emphasized this point in a heavy tone.
"The stronger the contrast, the more readers like it!"
"Oh. The editor-in-chief thought about it for a moment, and then turned around and left to write about this feature.
Unexpectedly, before he walked out of the office door, he was stopped by the editor-in-chief again.
"Remember, launch the feature as soon as possible!"
"This kind of American writer, which is sought after by Shakespeare, Chaucer and other Englishmen, is destined to be a big hit. ”
"Competitors like The Washington Post and the Chicago Tribune are not fools, and they will definitely follow up quickly!"
