"Meow!"

In fact, this meow meow came just in time, not only to avoid the "pickup pickup" of the master ball, but also to interrupt Yuan Yanqian's words, so that the master of love craftsmanship would not be broken by him.

After the servant next to him blasted away the wild cat, the "Lord Magician" took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and sincerely examined himself: "Ni...... Mr. Yuan, you're right! I did ...... during this time"

"Alright, Howard." Is our Master Yuan still very magnanimous, and didn't let him continue.

He said earnestly, "Howard, forget it this time." But you still have to remember to criticize and self-criticize: it's our SCP...... Well, the fine tradition and style of that magazine ......"

"Meow!"

How can there be wild cats again?!

When Yuan Yanqian was about to be angry at the maids, he heard it in his ears......

"Host, do you want to try the claws of Lord Meow?"

He sighed and concluded, "Howard, I'm going to see your latest work in the next issue of SCP magazine!" ”

The master of love craftsmanship stiffened his waist and said: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!" ”

Yuan Yanqian nodded with satisfaction, he didn't know what was going on, his old man's meeting always meant to live an organizational life.

I only heard the editor-in-chief of SCP pluck up the courage and say, "Neo, I have one more thing here. It's about the ...... of your new work."

Yuan Yanqian frowned and said, "You mean "Radiation" and "Country Teacher", what's the problem with these two books?" ”

"Neo, that's right. I've read both, but ......," said the master of the craft, hesitantly.

Master Yuan said impatiently: "Howard, between comrades...... Don't that colleague talk so much, but what? ”

The craftsman said cautiously: "Fallout seems a little too much, too much, too ......"

"Alternative, huh?"

"That's right, it's different! I'm afraid readers won't accept it. ”

"Alternative" was originally a term for rap music in pop music, referring to rap music that defies traditional conventions. Later, the meaning of the word became wider and wider, and anyone who did not conform to the mainstream could become alternative, even including people.

"Fallout" can be called "alternative" in the fantasy literature world in 1921.

Those who can read this book completely need to have the same understanding of cutting-edge science as the archmage, and understand that super-technological weapons like the sword of Damocles hanging over the human world are possible.

They also need to have a strong sense of humor...... In fact, this alone is not enough, because many stalks in "Fallout" have not yet appeared.

They must have a moral concept that transcends the times, although Yuan Yanqian deleted many inappropriate plots for children, but how can the morality of living in a peaceful environment still apply to living in the apocalyptic wasteland?

In short, the master who loves craftsmanship is not optimistic about the prospects of this book at all...... Well, if it wasn't written by his boss and praised by Einstein, he would definitely have to return the manuscript.

Yuan Yanqian put down the wine glass, raised his hand and rubbed his shrewd acupoint, sighed and said with some emotion: "Alternative is alternative, if you can't accept it, you can't accept it......"

"Fat!" He opened his eyes, looked directly at his editor-in-chief and said, "It's in the next issue, as the cover ......."

Speaking of the cover of "Fallout", Master Yuan's heart moved.

He turned to Louis Baker and asked, "Louie, do you know Mr. Elntst oodruff?" ”

"Mr. Entherst-Woodruff?" Mr. Baker Jr. thought for a moment and said, "Neo, are you asking Mr. Woodruff, who bought the Coca-Cola Company for $2.5 million in 1919?" ”

"That's right, it's him!" Master Yuan patted his thigh and said, "Louie, I know that you have the most connections, find a way to help me contact the marketing department of Coca-Cola, I have an advertising message to give them." Of course, it wasn't for nothing, and I hope they will run an ad in SCP magazine. ”

"What kind of advertising words?" The curious crowd asked in unison.

Yuan Yanqian took a slow puff of her cigar and spit out the smoke and the advertising slogan: "Drink to the End!" ”

Since 1925, Coca-Cola has had an annual advertising slogan. However, Master Yuan did not plagiarize the advertising words of later generations, but made an original sentence.

This phrase can be translated as drinking to the end, or it can be translated as drinking to the end, which fits the apocalyptic theme of the book "Fallout".

He continued: "If they were willing to advertise, I would agree to add this advertising slogan to the Nuka-Cola in the book." Maybe you can even pull Albert to take a picture of them. ”

Anyway, Nuka-Cola was originally an allusion to Coca-Cola and Pepsi (Pepsi existed at the end of the nineteenth century), this kind of product placement can be said to be convenient, and there is no sense of disobedience at all.

Louis-Baker smiled and said, "If Mr. Einstein is willing to come forward, I don't think there is anything fine." ”

Yuan Yanqian advised: "Well, you go and try it." But don't sell my idea cheaply. ”

"Of course, your idea is worth at least two or three thousand dollars. If you add a picture of Mr. Einstein, it will cost at least 5,000 dollars. Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

Everyone in the room laughed.

Huang Gongzi smiled and praised his uncle in his heart, not to mention literary talent, his old man's business talent that can be used to the best of his needs is really amazing!

"Mr. Yuan Yanqian is a true economist who has learned and applied what he has learned. In particular, his talent in advertising has made advertisers on Madison Avenue in New York City idolize him.

At his suggestion, the Coca-Cola Company began its annual advertising campaign in 1921. The earliest phrase "Drink to the End" was created by him. By the way, the Chinese translation of Coca-Cola was also chosen by him.

Mr. Yuan later became a master of advertising planning, not only opened an advertising agency, but even acted as an advertising model himself.

One of his most famous photographs is of him leaning on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, a camel cigarette in his mouth, and peering through his Harley-Davidson sunglasses at a blonde woman walking by, not even spilling over a Coca-Cola in his hand.

A single photo that promotes five products at the same time is a classic and a special case in the history of advertising. And it was on the cover of Time magazine.

During the Great Depression in the thirties, his classic image of a dashing and avant-garde with a little decadence and rebellion quickly became popular in Europe and the United States, and became the object of imitation by the younger generation. ”

——Excerpt from "Yuan Yanqian on Madison Street"

I just listened to the master of Ai Craft and asked expectantly: "Neo, since the next issue is "Fallout", will it be on "Country Teacher" in the next issue?" ”

"Howard, this won't work!"

Our Master Yuan said with some pride: "The Village Teacher will not be published in SCP because there is a magazine that has already been booked. ”

Hearing this, the master of the craft asked with some disappointment, "Which magazine is it?" ”

Yuan Yanqian subconsciously raised his head...... Because he was too open when he talked about it, he couldn't help but want to laugh, so he deliberately didn't let everyone see his expression clearly.

He said softly, "The Atlantic." ”

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

Only the audience exclaimed, and some people said excitedly:

"Neo, is it really The Atlantic?!"

"Neo, that's really good!!"

"Neo, I'm really going to congratulate you!!"

Why are Master Yuan's friends so excited? This is because The Atlantic is one of the most "respected" magazines in the United States.

If the New York Times is America's People's Daily, then The Atlantic can be called America's Red Flag. And the People's Liberation Army Newspaper in the United States is...... It doesn't seem to be.

In short, the most important "newspapers and magazines" in the history of American newspapers and magazines are The Gray Lady and The Atalntic.

Of course, compared with the "two newspapers and one periodical" that does not need to pursue economic interests and only attaches importance to political effects, "one newspaper and one periodical" is more accommodating to the market and more obedient.

Compared with the New York Times, which pursues news and timeliness, The Atlantic is more elitist. In fact, the magazine's audience from the very beginning of its publication was the American intellectual elite.

Compared to The Ne Yorker, another magazine of the same type, The Atlantic, is more conservative and Republican. The problem was that The Ne Yorker didn't start until 1925.

The Atlantic was founded in 1857, an eventful year for the United States.

Politically speaking, the Civil War was about to start in four years, and the debate over the abolition of slavery and the abolition of the Union was heating up.

Economically, railroads and telegraph networks spread rapidly across North America, connecting the country into a single market. A large number of immigrants also poured into the United States, increasing the total population by a quarter. People began to explore the west, and a gold rush was born. With technology, capital, and labor in place, the U.S. economy began to flourish.

Religiously, the Europa Spring of 1848 shook the feudal conservative forces, and new scientific discoveries, such as the theory of evolution to be published in 1858, shook people's religious beliefs.

Finally, culturally speaking, the native American intellectuals who lived through the baptism of European Enlightenment and Romanticism longed for their own, distinctively American voice.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, the magazine's founder and known as the "leader of the American Renaissance," wrote: "We have listened to the gentle goddess of literature and art in Europe for far too long."

He believes that "a magazine is supposed to lead the whole era, and this is a very beneficial thing that must be done...... Editors need to have a broad vision and vision, find the best from the land, and be able to reject popular tastes...... The masses will quickly calm down and find out that they have a mentor. ”

It was against this background that The Atlantic was born. In the future, it would be revered as "a symbol of the spiritual awakening of America." ，

When the first issue was published, Emerson made it clear that it was "a magazine of literature, politics, science, and the arts."

It helps people meet some new writers and poets, and helps writers and poets to publish their works. It features commentaries by prominent writers on contemporary political events and other major events.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the magazine recorded the writings of Emerson himself, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Muir, and others, and then it became the first publication of Mark Twain and Henry James. (Author's note: In order not to account for the number of words, the introduction of these people is related to the work.) ）

At the beginning of the 20th century, it published important political essays by Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt.

Later, an early short story by Ernest Hemingway was published on it.

And later, Martin? Luther? King sent it the manuscript of "Letter from Birmingham Jail......

It's too far away, and it's really hard to say whether this black priest in the sixties who loved to prostitute Caucasian women in this timeline can still become a famous human rights leader or even survive. Because he was the sworn enemy of "Your Excellency the Hermit", he was killed by Hoover if he didn't do well.

So, then, then our Master Yuan's "Country Teacher" is about to be published in the "Atlantic Monthly", which not only means that he has been recognized by the mainstream American literary circles, but also means that the forced style of science fiction has been forcibly raised by the Gray Knight.

How could he not be surprised, you say?

Yuan Yanqian casually threw the cigar into the wine glass, stood up, raised his hands, pressed down and said, "Guys, I can get to this point today because of your help and support. So I have a word for you...... Thank you! ”

What he said was sincere, even if he was a traverser, it would be impossible for him to conquer the world. And if you really want to say it, Louis Baker was his first nobleman.

Therefore, what he said was sincere, and everyone couldn't help but think about it...... Actually, it was only a few months ago.

"You know I'm going to go back to my country when I get my PhD...... The one is married, and I don't know when I'll be able to return to the United States. So I'll tell you first......"

At this moment, Miss Pulitzer suddenly raised her hand and said, "Neo, can I go to China with you?" By the way, I can be your photographer for free, and I can also be the bridesmaid of your wedding! ”

"Emma, you're going to China with me?"

Master Yuan was also stunned when he heard this, but he thought about it and thought that it was not too incredible to go to Seris this year, last year there was a Hollywood female star who went around China and published several travelogues in the "Los Angeles Times". (Author's note: Forgive forgiveness, forgive sin, the reference book containing this matter will not be found for a while, so the actress's name is forgotten, but there is indeed such a thing.) ）

"Be a bridesmaid?! Then I'm going too! Before he could reply, another female voice came out of the stab. Naturally, it was "Helen of Manhattan" who almost fell asleep.

As soon as she said this, Mr. McCall must have been unable to sit still, and the reason why he couldn't sit still was naturally because the charm of his current big customers was too high, and this journey was lonely...... It's horrible.

So he immediately said: "Actually, since I read Verne's book "Around the World in Eighty Days", I have always wanted to do a trip around the world, and this time I have the opportunity, so I will go with you." ”

He took a deep look at his brother-in-law, Louis Baker, and said, "Louie, why don't you join us." ”

"Hmm!" Mr. Baker was not stupid either, and he nodded deeply in agreement, "My grandfather has always wanted to expand his business in East Asia, and it seems that I need to go to China once." ”

Miss Morman, who had been taking notes carefully, said with a wistful expression, "Traveling around the world...... BOSS, I'm going too! ”

"You ......"

Our Master Yuan really has no reason to stop them from returning to Seris with him, and there is no need to stop them.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alright then, you're welcome to my journey, and you're welcome to my wedding." But ......"

But before he returns to China, he has to make a big news.

He shook his head at Lord Ai Craft and said, "Still, Howard. Don't go with me, you can't do without it. ”

Then Yuan Yanqian beckoned to the servants on the side and said, "Guys, it's ...... now."

"Champagne time!"

"Tom!"
