How can you let a newspaper go viral? What about the sharp increase in circulation?

As far as Li Mengyang knows, there are many examples, such as Master Jin, who relied on his own brilliant pen to make "Ming Pao" unique.

In other words, we can use a novel, a serialized novel, to make a newspaper ox X, this method, in fact, in Europe and the United States, there are such publications, such as "Humor Weekly".

So the question is, what kind of novel can be published to make a newspaper popular in the United States?

Li Mengyang, as a research monk, told him that there is such a novel that can easily complete this task, and this novel is "The Portrait of Dorian Gray"!

We Chinese may not be very familiar with this novel, there are actually many reasons for this, but Li Mengyang knows, just with this novel, her author Oscar Wilde has become a supercelebrity in Europe and the United States!

Yes, the most famous writer of the 19th century, not even a writer, let's just say a celebrity, the most famous celebrity, definitely he is none other than him.

Wilde's story doesn't need to be said too much, when he came to the United States, he was a superstar, and now, Wilde is a four-year-old little north nose, so there is no problem with using his masterpiece.

There is no problem with copyright, and our Li Mengyang doesn't have to worry about sexuality, he doesn't do it, but in fact, there is still a problem.

Let's just say that this "golden age" paragraph, this paragraph is indeed from this "Portrait of Dorian Gray", but if this paragraph is found in the Chinese version of this novel, it will not be found!

Yes, Li Mengyang did this back then, and after he saw this paragraph, he wanted to find out the source, which was obviously written from "The Portrait of Dorian Gray", but he couldn't find it, so why is this?

This brings us to the current problem, a heavy dà problem, which is the problem of translation!

Li Mengyang's novel is in the Chinese version, to be honest, he didn't have the opportunity to see the English version, but, with his CET6 level English level, read the English version...... It's like chewing wax!

It can be said that you can't see it at all, you can't see the poetry and beauty in it at all, and you can't even say that you can't understand it.

The reason is also very simple, just like our translated version, it also makes many poetic sentences disappear, and looking at the original version, Li Mengyang can't understand it, this is all because of the translation, the English version of the novel, many of which are used in classical English!

Wilde came from a famous family, he received a good education, so, in terms of grammar, it is naturally very exquisite, very retro, so in this way, if we want to make this work popular, do we have to reproduce the original appearance of the work?

In fact, there is also a social background here that makes Li Mengyang have to do this, that is, the United States at this time is very, very foreign and flattering!

Well, it should be said that as long as it is European, it is good, European goods, that is good goods, that is, better than American goods, as long as it is European artwork, it is good, absolutely far more than the United States, as long as it is European...... Even the language, like French, is really beautiful, so moving. And English, the United States now has a form of spelling, pronunciation and syntax, but it is too casual and too subclassy, how can it compare with the orthodox English of the United Kingdom?

This is the reality of the situation, when Li Mengyang was in the later generations, he also experienced such a situation, let's call this Chongyang, the current atmosphere in the United States is even more powerful than ours.

That is to say, in any case, the book must be written in pure English, authentic English, and preferably with some classical, poetic kind...... This is actually a kind of pretending to be X in this era, but Li Mengyang can't help it, he has to do this, only by doing this, others will call you a literary youth.

Luckily, one of us who could do this grammar was Eleanor.

Of course, this Old English cannot be used in its entirety, but only in a small part to improve the style of the work. But in fact, what Eleanor uses is only Middle English, not so ancient, but it is really enough, very good.

Actually, from this aspect, Li Mengyang has some doubts about Eleanor's identity, but she doesn't want to say it, so Li Mengyang won't force her, but this newspaper of ours, you can help, you have to help, right?

"......" looked at the beautiful text that was typeset in front of her, Eleanor really didn't expect that this was actually from her own hands. She was a little excited, because she knew that this novel was destined to be a shocking work!

What a strange whimsy! What a philosophical and affectionate sentence! How ...... Contains 'basic feelings'?!

"I can sign your name." Li Mengyang always blushed from time to time when he watched Eleanor translating, he didn't think much about it, he just thought that maybe this novel was too good, so it made the little girl a little excited.

"No, it's your work!" Eleanor was told by Li Mengyang to dispel the mess in her mind, but ...... She really couldn't stop thinking, what kind of person is Li Mengyang? Why was he able to write such a novel? Is he a 'GAY'?

This is an abomination of God!

Although Li Mengyang does not believe in God, he is still a Chinese, but such behavior is ...... Well, Eleanor admits that sometimes, she will chat with her girlfriends, and some girls will express great sympathy and concern for GAY, and even think that it is beautiful, but such thoughts will always attract the anger of others!

But...... I don't know why, Eleanor felt a little sad, is it because Li Mengyang may be a GAY?

At this moment, Eleanor suddenly realized that she was probably in love with Li Mengyang, although she had been rejecting such an idea, otherwise, how to explain this qiē?

"What do you think, Eleanor Lee?" Li Mengyang naturally didn't know Eleanor's inner thoughts, so he was still struggling with the issue of signature, this guy was quite good at naming, and he kneaded the names of the two people together.

“NO！！！”

But unexpectedly, this actually caused Eleanor to scream, like a kitten being stepped on by its tail!

"......" Li Mengyang's frightened sweat came out, this, this, just a name.

"......" Eleanor was embarrassed, because the name couldn't be used anyway! Now, however, "No matter! In short, the name can't be used, absolutely not! The rest is yours! ”

After saying that, Eleanor ran away in a puff of smoke, leaving only Li Mengyang sweaty......

On the issue of signature, in the end, Li Mengyang simply made a simpler one, that is, 'Clint Lee & E Chesnat', and then Li Mengyang woke up a little, maybe the name 'Eleanor Lee' took advantage of other little girls, that is, if a woman in Europe and the United States marries, it is to give her husband's surname.

Translation issues, classical elegance, attribution issues...... After this qiē was done, Li Mengyang's novel "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" began to be serialized in the "New York Evening News".

At this time, the New York Evening News, because it doesn't want to sell the newspaper for money, will also send the content of the newspaper to various cities through the guò telegram, of course, the content of this telegram is mainly the exclusive news and articles of the New York Evening News, those advertisements, and news similar to others, a fool will shoot a telegram, right? In the case of advertising, the advertiser can send a template to the local publisher and let them do it themselves.

And in this way, the circulation of "Evening News" exceeded 10,000!

You must know that a newspaper now has a circulation of more than 10,000, which is not much, and there are more than 8,000 newspapers in the United States, and there are only seven or eight newspapers that have exceeded 10,000.

What is the result of the sudden appearance of a beautifully worded and whimsical novel in such a newspaper with such a circulation?

"Oh God! I feel that this life is enough to allow me to see such a beautiful and shocking masterpiece in my lifetime! "Mrs. Stowe, the famous novelist and author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin", saw this serialized novel and sent a letter directly to the New York Evening News!

It seems that it hit the hearts of female readers in an instant, but this is not over yet.

"The idea is so ingenious, the sentences are subtle, and the words are noble and elegant, I can't believe that I would read such a work in the newspaper. Believe me, if you don't go to Bowdoin College, or go to well-known universities like Cambridge and Oxford in the UK, you can't see it! "The famous American writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, gave such a high evaluation, and this is simply the best advertisement.

With these two men endorsing The Picture of Dorian Gray, what else is there to say?

The circulation of the New York Evening News has skyrocketed, and countless people have written letters asking the newspaper to publish a novel, and if you don't publish a novel, then we will protest!

So what else do you say? Publish a book, you don't make a bastard if you have money!

When the novel was still being serialized, it was a single book, and Luoyang paper was expensive in the eastern United States for a while, and thousands of people were empty!

Many people say that this is a historic event in the history of American literature, a phenomenal event, and a decisive event for the entire American cultural circle to take off the hat of 'redneck'!

Of course, there are also critics of Nathaniel Hawthorne, who thinks that the same-sex stuff contained in this book is unacceptable, and God will condemn it!

But after all, it was contained in the article, and it was not so obvious as it was written, hey, yes, Wilde also knew, this kind of thing would not be accepted by the society at that time. Hawthorne, he was an extremely devout puritan, he naturally couldn't accept it, but others didn't have to.

It should be said that the United States is a Puritan world, but the days of the Puritans, if you really fully abide by the laws of the Puritan life, then it is not a life of human beings, because the Puritans live for one purpose, waiting for God to judge!

Therefore, under such mental depression, something different is needed.

As a result, "The Picture of Dorian Gray" became even more popular!
