London, a basement.
Moss and Roy, as the least valued it department employees in the company, are a little flustered now.
"Well, have you heard? Princess Diana is going to divorce Prince Charles Roy said.
"Of course!" Moss's face "your news is out of date" expression, "it is said that Princess Diana authorized an American writer to write autobiography."
"And this American writer is still recognized by Prince Charles!"
"What?" Roy asked in surprise, "doesn't that mean there's a lot to be revealed?"
"Not necessarily!" Moss shook his head. "It depends on the way the writer writes, what it looks like."
"A lot of writers are good at writing a lot, but when you think about it, you don't say anything."
"What's the name of that writer? I'll look for his work. "
"It's said to be Wang Jian. His works can be seen on the Internet
"Online? So advanced? " Roy took a note in a very surprised tone.
"Yes! So the Americans are ahead of the British. "
"They've all started to write books online!"
Moss began to daily, complaining that he was not valued.
But I didn't expect that my companion didn't agree with me as usual. Instead, he was in a daze at the computer.
"What's the matter?" He went over doubtfully, "is there something wrong with the computer?"
"Don't move!" Roy watched as they reached out to restart the mainframe.
"This writer's work is very interesting..." he pondered for a moment and said.
"What's the point?" Asked moss.
But after waiting for a long time, I still can't wait for my companion's reply.
He frowned and also logged on to the website just now, hoping to see what works could fascinate his peers.
"King Arthur? Is this a fairy tale? " He's clicking on the top of the list.
But soon he knew that he was very wrong.
Crossing, witches, technology?
Church, transcendence, cannon?
This...
soon, he realized that King Arthur was such an unusual work.
"My God! This kind of novel... "Moss pondered, organized the language," it's so interesting! "
"You say, is there any basis for the story of this novel?" Asked the companion.
"The cannon, the left wheel or something, must be fake." Moss did not look up to answer: "but, that war should have really happened."
"I've heard of it in the history elective course of the University."
Finally, half an hour later, he finished reading the updated King Arthur.
"It's not finished, it's published?"
Moss felt that his heart was hurt by 10000 points!
He learned to leave messages and hit the keyboard.
"Mr. author, please update!"
"If you come to London, I will treat you to dinner!"
When he had finished, he found that his companion was drawing something.
"What are you doing?" Moss asked curiously.
"I'm studying the location of this war. Maybe I can go there and pick up some pieces of armor or something!"
“come on! It's just a novel. You really regard it as history! "
"Idle is idle anyway." Roy replied with a smile: "this novel, I want to travel there."
"Cut!" Moss curled his lips and walked out of the basement.
About half an hour later, Roy saw his companion coming back in all his travel gear.
"Where are you going?"
"To the place you painted, of course!" Moss, as he should, replied.
"But only one of us can ask for leave!" Roy whispered, with a bad feeling in his heart.
"Yes Moss nodded, picked up the picture and put down another note.
"So, my leave slip has been approved!"
“fuck!” Roy yelled and was about to run after him.
"You can stay in the office and wait for the update of King Arthur." Moss quickly good words comfort, "this is not also good!"
Er...
Roy was stunned and nodded.
"That's true!"
"Cut, fool!" Moss smiles, packs and picks up his notebook.
"In that land, the feeling of watching King Arthur must be very different!"
...
at the same time, in the office of the New York Times.
The editor in chief is sitting on the chair, listening to the work summary of his subordinates."So the news hot spots raised by NBC have been calmed down like this."
"And Woodward has left and can no longer work in journalism."
For the end of this old opponent, the editor in chief felt a bit sad.
However, he is more concerned about another part of the report.
"Is the best seller's novel really beginning to catch on in England?"
After getting a positive reply, the editor in chief fell into a deep meditation.
The American feelings towards Britain are very complicated.
They both despise the British hypocrisy, but they envy each other all the time.
This can be proved by the fact that British actors with no strong capital can form their own group in Hollywood.
The British accent is generally considered more sexy, which is the external embodiment of this psychology.
"If American novels and writers can be sought after in Britain, they will undoubtedly strongly satisfy the vanity of Americans!"
As for whether he would offend Viacom, he didn't care.
Just as the rise of websites infringes the interests of large media groups.
The expansion of Viacom group, which uses television as the medium, into films and surrounding areas, also infringes on the interests of traditional newspapers.
At this time, when should we not launch the traditional skills of the media to "step on the high and fall on the low" and wait?
You know, in order to sell more newspapers and expand their influence, they dare to print the tragedy of Kennedy's skull on the New York Times!
"We can make this a special topic." The editor in chief thought about it and began to give orders.
"Just like those unpopular art directors, after winning the prize in Europe, someone will buy it!"
"But..." the subordinate hesitated and said awkwardly: "Wang's novels are also very popular in the United States!"
"Then focus on the control bill and emphasize the unfair treatment he has suffered."
"Remember, to form a contrast, there is a selling point!" The editor in chief stressed this point in a heavy tone.
"The stronger the contrast, the more readers like it."
"Oh." The editor in chief thought for a while, then he was ready to turn around and leave to write this topic.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the editor in chief before he walked out of the office.
"Remember to launch the project as soon as possible!"
"This kind of news about American writers, which is sought after by British people such as Shakespeare and Chaucer, is bound to sell well."
"The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and other competitors are not fools, they will follow up quickly!"
