Chapter subtitle: This is just the beginning

The week of December 12, 1920 was an ordinary day in Japan, which became less ordinary because of the arrival of Yuan Yanqi.

Today in this timeline is the day Window of the World, the world's best-selling magazine, was launched.

Unlike its original history, Reader's Digest did not begin to publish overseas editions until 1938. Under the operation of Master Yuan and his friends, the magazine would have been published in more than a dozen different languages before the Great Depression and would be popular all over the world.

The "little fairy in the woods" was naturally obedient to "Dionysus", and through her father's connections, she really found Dehit Wallace and his wife Lila Acheson-Wallace, who were promoting their ideas in New York at this time, and the two hit it off. At the persuasion of Miss Brown and Mr. McCall, New York University Press also chimed in.

The three parties jointly contributed 15,000 US dollars, and in fact the majority of the money was taken by Miss Brown's father, more precisely, the Brown family, a famous New York family. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace paid only $1,000 but owned 20 percent of the shares, and Mr. Wallace also served as the editor-in-chief of Window to the World. They were satisfied, even a little grateful, for the Wallaces had been at odds with New York publishing until Miss Brown found them herself.

At this point, Women of the World has its first sub-publication. Of course, in the future the Women of the World Group will have countless affiliated publications in countries around the world, but Window to the World is definitely a very good start.

In addition, the "Stranger Code Periodical", also known as the "Strange Code Periodical", officially began to be published on this day.

It is true that this magazine is not as successful commercially as Window of the World, nor is it as successful as Women of the World in the women's and fashion worlds. However, the Odd Code Journal is recognized as the true origin of fantasy literature and its derivatives. Under the leadership and inspiration of our Master Yuan, the "non-mainstream cultural industry" on this timeline matured earlier and more developed than his original one, so that it can compete with the mainstream cultural industry.

In fact, this not only benefits readers, but also allows fantasy writers to reach heights that they would not otherwise reach. In this timeline, Ronald Riel Tolkien will win the Nobel Prize in Literature for his "Lord of the Rings" that he would not otherwise win. In the award speech, the first person he thanked was Master Yuan Yanqi.

In order to celebrate these two events, Master Yuan gave an order, and several friends worked together to organize this celebration reception, which was held in the two-story building in Brooklyn that was used as a magazine.

Despite the fact that the location was not so "high-class", the party was still presentable, and there were many guests from the cultural and publishing industries. These guests are all resources in Master Yuan's eyes.

"Mr. Brown, it's a great honor to meet you. As a junior, I should have visited you earlier, but you also know that I had a little accident a few days ago......"

Of course, Master Yuan would not mention the unhappiness of New York University Press's refusal to publish his "Chocolate of Love", but chatted with Miss Brown's father very enthusiastically.

"No problem, although Doctor Wen has been very busy, but since Mr. Brown is not feeling well, then I think he will definitely be free. And I'll be your translator myself......"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Brown, Helen. I'll leave a little bit. ”

He had a relationship with the president, and he came to the circle of lovers of craftsmanship.

"Mr. Trude Bennett, it's a pleasure."

"Hello, Mr. Oswald Spengler."

"MR. ASHLEY-LONG, I'VE HEARD YOUR NAME FROM HOWARD FOR A LONG TIME."

These people are pen pals who love crafts, and they are also fantasy lovers of today and fantasy writers of the future. They all looked confused, and when they saw Master Yuan, they were immediately in awe. This is of course normal, and the book "A Song of Ice and Fire" is nothing more than a very popular book for the average reader, and for them it really opens "a door to a new world".

It's a pity that Robert Owen Howard, an important pen pal of the craft-loving adult, and the author of "The King in Yellow" and "Conan the Barbarian", the originator of "Sword and Sorcery", is only 14 years old and has not yet communicated with him.

"Hahaha, you have won the award, where can we talk about learning from me, we can learn from each other and make progress together. Rest assured, the door to Odd Code Journal is always open to everyone. As long as it is a manuscript that meets the publication standards, the remuneration must be preferential! ”

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry."

After entertaining this group of people, he greeted Miss Lillian-Gich, who was overwhelmed by the audience, with a smile on his face, and the dog man and woman also performed a ...... in front of the crowd Well, kiss the hand. Is it 1920 after all, and a man and a woman are holding and gnawing on it, which is really too exaggerated, not at all.

"I'm so honored, I can't imagine that I can meet so many friends in the film and television industry today, I'm really happy! Of course, I would like to thank Miss Guisch ......"

At this time, New York's position in the film and television industry has not been completely replaced by Hollywood, so there are really many people in the film and television industry here. And next, our Master Yuan will definitely show his strength in the film industry, and the more talents in this area, the better.

After socializing in the film and television industry, the next step is the more important media circle.

"Mr. Sanders, I heard that you've been in good luck lately, and you've won a lot. By the way, I would like to ask you and your colleagues to say a few kind words for me in the New York Times. ”

"Emma, this is ...... Your father, Mr. Herbert Pulitzer! I really didn't expect you to come in person, and I was so scared. Speaking of which, I still haven't thanked you for your help in person......"

I don't know if it's because he's too famous now, or if it's Miss Emma Pulitzer's good assist, or because of Mr. Louis Baker's influence. The editor-in-chief of Le Monde really came here.

"Okay, no problem, I will definitely visit the door, and I will definitely continue to write political articles. I'm sorry, Mr. Pulitzer, Miss Pulitzer, but there's something else going on over there. ”

Yuan Yanqian saw that Ms. Cather and Mr. Dresser had entered the meeting hall with the two young men, and of course she had to greet them.

"Welcome, Ms. Cather. Welcome, Mr. Dresser. ”

"Who are these two?"

PS。 Murong is not a sycophant of his mother and the editor, but at this juncture, they are quite tolerant of this broken book. Although I don't know who is so bored and always reports me, but there will be a recommendation next week. So here, Murong would like to say thank you to my editor.
