"Meow!"

In fact, this Miaomiao came just right. Not only could he avoid the "picking" of Master Ball, but he also interrupted Yuan Yanshu's words, so that Master Ai Craftsmanship would not be scattered by him.

After the servant next to him drove away the wild cat, "Magic Master" took out his handkerchief and wiped his forehead and sweated coldly, and sincerely reviewed himself: "Ni... Mr. Yuan, you are right! I did..."

"Okay, Howard." Is our Master Yuan still very generous? He didn't let him continue talking.

He said earnestly: "Howard, let it go this time. But you still have to remember criticism and self-criticism: it is our SCP... Well, the fine traditions and style of that magazine..."

"Meow!"

Why are there wild cats again?!

When Yuan Yan was about to get angry at the servants, she heard it in her ears...

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

He had no choice but to sigh and concluded: "Howard, I want to see your latest work in the next issue of SCP magazine!"

Adult Ai Craftsman said with a straight back: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Yuan Yan nodded with satisfaction, not knowing what happened, but he always had an organizational life when attending meetings.

I heard the editor-in-chief of "SCP" mustered up the courage and said: "Neo, I have one more thing here. It is about your new work..."

Yuan Yan frowned and said, "You mean "Fallout" and "Rural Teacher". What's the problem with these two novels?"

"Neo, that's it. I've read both novels, but..." said the master Ai Craftsman hesitantly.

Master Yuan said impatiently: "Howard, among comrades... shouldn't that colleague be so hesitant? But what?"

Adults who love craftsmanship said carefully: "Fallout seems a bit too, too, too much..."

“Alternative, right?”

"Yes, it's just an alternative! I'm worried that readers won't accept it."

"Alternative Alternative" was originally a term for rap in popular music, referring to rap music that is anti-traditional routine. Later, the meaning of this word became wider and wider. Anyone who was not in the mainstream could become alternative, and even people were included.

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

Those who can read this novel completely need to have a certain understanding of cutting-edge science like the great magician, and understand that super-technical weapons like the sword of Damocles hanging above the human world are possible.

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

They must have moral concepts that transcend the times. Although Yuan Yan suddenly deleted many plots that are not suitable for children, how can they still apply morality in a peaceful environment when living in the doomsday wasteland?

In short, I am not optimistic about the prospects of this novel at all... Well, if it weren't for his boss and had it been praised by Einstein, he would definitely have to revoke the manuscript.

Yuan Yan suddenly put down the wine glass, raised her hand and rubbed her smart hole, sighed and said with some emotion: "If you are alternative, just be alternative. If you can't accept it, you can't accept it..."

"Send!" He opened his eyes and looked directly at his editor-in-chief and said, "Send it in the next issue as a cover novel..."

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

He turned to look at Louis Baker and asked, "Louis, do you know Mr. Elntst Woodruff?"

"Mr. Entester Woodruff?" Mr. Baker thought for a while and said, "Neo, are you asking Mr. Woodruff who spent $2.5 million to buy Coca-Cola in 1919?"

"Yes, it's him!" Master Yuan slapped his thigh, "Louis, I know you have the most extensive connections. I'll find a way to contact the marketing department of Coca-Cola. I have an advertising slogan to give to them. Of course, it's not for free. I hope they can advertise in SCP magazine."

"What kind of advertising slogan?" the curious people asked in unison.

Yuan Yan suddenly took a sip of the cigar and spit out the smoke and the advertising slogan: "Drink to the End!"

Since 1925, Coca-Cola has an annual advertising slogan every year. However, Master Yuan did not plagiarize the advertising slogans of later generations, but made an original one.

This sentence can be translated into drinking to the end or to the end of the world, which is in line with the doomsday theme of the book "Fallout".

He continued to increase his investment: "If they are willing to place an advertisement, I agree to add this advertising slogan to Nuka-Cola in the book. Maybe he can even pull Albert to take a photo of them."

Anyway, is Nuclear Coke an allusion to Coca-Cola and Pepsi (which was found in the late 19th century)? This kind of implantable advertising can be said to be easy to do, without any sense of incongruity.

Louis Baker smiled and said, "If Mr. Einstein was happy to come forward, I think there should be nothing wrong."

Yuan Yan Shu Shu reminded: "Well, go and try it. But don't sell my creativity cheaply."

"Of course, your creativity is worth at least two or three thousand US dollars. If you add Mr. Einstein's photo, it will cost at least five thousand US dollars. Hahaha..."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone here laughed together.

Mr. Huang smiled and praised his uncle in his heart. Not to mention his literary talent, his business talent that can do everything he can to the best of his business is really amazing!

"Mr. Yuan Yanshu is an economist who has truly applied what he has learned. Especially his talent in advertising has made people in advertising on Madison Street in New York regard him as their idol.

Under his suggestion, Coca-Cola Company launched its annual advertising slogan since 1921. The earliest sentence "Drink to the End" was created by him. By the way, he also chose the Chinese translation of Coca-Cola.

Mr. Yuan later naturally became an advertising planner. Not only did he open an advertising company, he even personally served as an advertising model.

One of his most famous photos is this: wearing a white sweatshirt and Levitra jeans, he leaned against a Harley motorcycle, holding a camel cigarette in his mouth, peering at a blonde passing through Harley's sunglasses, not even knowing that the Coca-Cola in his hand was knocked over.

One photo promoted five products at the same time, which is a classic and exceptional example in advertising history. It also appeared on the cover of Time magazine.

During the Great Depression in the 1930s, his classic image of arrogance and a little decadent and rebellious quickly became popular in Europe and the United States, and became the object of imitation for the younger generation."

——Excerpt from "Yuan Yanshu on Madison Street"

I heard that the adult Ai Craft asked expectantly: "Neo, since the next issue is "Fallout", will you be featured in "Rural Teacher" in the next issue?"

"Howard, this is not OK!"

Our Master Yuan said proudly: "The Rural Teacher will not be published in SCP because there is a magazine that has been booked."

Adult Ai Craftsman asked disappointedly when he heard this, “Which magazine is it?”

Yuan Yan subconsciously raised his head... Because this matter was so exciting, he couldn't help but want to laugh, so he deliberately prevented everyone from seeing his expression.

He said lightly in his mouth: "The Atlantic."

"Wow, wow, wow..."

Only the audience exclaimed, and some people said excitedly:

"Nho, is it really "Atlantic Monthly"?!"

"Neo, it's really great!!"

"Neo, I really want to congratulate you!!!"

Why are Master Yuan’s friends so excited? This is because Atlantic Monthly is the most "respected" magazine in America.

If the New York Times is the People's Daily in the United States, then the Atlantic Monthly can be called the Red Flag of the United States. And the People's Liberation Army newspaper in the United States...it seems to be not.

In short, the most important "one newspaper, one issue" in the history of American newspapers and magazines is the Gray Lady and "The Atalntic".

Of course, compared with the "two newspapers and one magazine" that do not need to pursue economic interests and only value political effects, the "one newspaper and one magazine" is more inclined to the market and more because of the praise.

Compared with the New York Times, which pursues news and timeliness, Atlantic Weekly has a stronger elite atmosphere. In fact, the audience of this magazine since its founding was the American intellectual elite.

Compared with another magazine of the same type, The New Yorker, the Atlantic is more conservative and Republican. The problem is that The New Yorker was not founded until 1925.

The Atlantic Monthly was founded in 1857, and this year was a turbulent time for America.

Politically speaking, the Civil War was about to begin in four years, so the debate on whether to abolition slavery and the existence of the federal abolishment was in a state of heat.

Economically, railways and telegraph networks have rapidly extended on the North American roads, connecting the country into a unified market. A large number of immigrants have also poured into the United States, increasing the total population by a quarter. People began to pioneer to the west and gave birth to a gold rush. The three major elements of technology, capital and labor have been fully equipped, and the US economy has begun to flourish.

From a religious point of view, the Europa Spring in 1848 greatly shocked the feudal and conservative forces, and new scientific discoveries, such as the theory of evolution that was to be published in 1858, greatly shocked people's religious beliefs.

Finally, culturally speaking, native American intellectuals who have experienced the baptism of European Enlightenment and Romanticism are eager to have their own unique American voice.

Ralph Valdo Emerson, founder of the magazine and known as the "American Renaissance Leader", wrote: "We have listened to the gentle and elegant European goddess of literary and artistic speech for too long."

He believes that "a magazine should lead the entire era, which is very beneficial and must be done... Editors need to have a broad vision and vision, find the best (article) from this land, and be able to reject the public's taste... The public will quickly calm down and find that they have a mentor."

The Atlantic Monthly was born in this context. In the future, it will be honored as "the symbol of the awakening of the American spirit."

When the first issue was published, Emerson clearly claimed that this was "a magazine about literature, politics, science and art."

It helps people get to know new writers and poets, and helps writers and poets publish their works. It publishes comments from some famous writers on contemporary political events and other major events.

In the mid-nineteenth century, this magazine recorded the works of Emerson himself, Henry David Thoreau, Nathaniel Hawthorne, John Muir and others, and then it became the publication of Mark Twain and Henry James' original novels. (Author's note: In order not to take up words, the introduction of these people is related to the works.)

In the early 20th century, it published important political papers by Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt.

Later, Ernest Hemingway's early short stories were published on it.

Later, Martin Luther King sent it a manuscript of "Letter from Birmingham Prison"...

It's too far. It's hard to say whether this black priest who loved prostitutes from white female prostitutes could become a famous human rights leader or even survive in the 1960s. Because he was the mortal enemy of "Honor Historian", he was killed by Hoover if he didn't do it well.

Then, then, then, our Master Yuan’s "Rural Teacher" will be published in the Atlantic Monthly, which not only means that he has been recognized by the mainstream American literary community, but also means that the quality of science fiction novels has been pushed up by Lord Grey Knight.

How could he be unsatisfied?

Yuan Yan threw the cigar into the wine glass, grew up, raised her hands, and pressed down: "Guys, I was able to get to this point today because I received your help and support. So I want to say...thank you!"

His words were sincere. Even if he was a time traveler, he would not be able to conquer the world. And to be honest, Louis Baker was his first nobleman.
To be continued...
