How can a newspaper become popular? The circulation has increased dramatically?

There are many examples of history that Li Mengyang knows, such as Master Jin relies on his own brilliant writing to make Ming Pao unique.

In other words, we can use a novel or serialized novel to make a newspaper awesome. This method is actually possible in Europe and the United States. There are now 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?

As a research monk, Li Mengyang's knowledge tells him that there is such a novel that can easily complete this task. This novel is "Portrait of Dorling Gray"!

We Chinese may not be very familiar with this novel. There are actually many reasons here, but Li Mengyang knows it. With this novel, her author Oscar Wilde has become a famous super celebrity in Europe and the United States!

Yes, the most famous writer in the 19th century, not even a writer, just a celebrity. The most famous celebrity is definitely him.

There is no need to tell too much about Wilde's story. When he came to the United States, he was a super star. Now, Wilde is only a four-year-old little girl, 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 sexual orientation. He doesn’t make a big deal, but there is actually another problem.

Let’s talk about this “Golden Age” joke. This joke does come from this “Portrait of Dorling Gray”. However, if this joke is found in the Chinese version of this novel, it will not be found!

Yes, Li Mengyang did this back then. After seeing this joke, he wanted to find out the source. It clearly stated that it was from "Portrait of Dorling Gray", but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked for it. So why is this?

This brings up the current problem. One major problem is the translation problem!

The novels that Li Mengyang read were in Chinese. To be honest, he didn’t have the chance to see the English version, but with his level of English at level 6, watching the English version is like chewing wax!

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

The reason is also very simple, just like our translation version, which also made many poetic sentences disappear, but when reading the original version, Li Mengyang couldn't understand it. This is because many of the translations and English versions of novels are in classical English!

Wilde was born into a famous family and received a good education. Therefore, in terms of grammar, it is naturally very particular and 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 Li Mengyang must do this, that is, the United States is very, very popular with foreign countries!

Well, it should be said that they admire "Europe" to fawn on foreign countries. As long as they are European things, they are good. European goods, they are good. They are better than American goods. As long as they are European works of art, they are good. They are definitely far superior to Americans. As long as they are European... or even languages, such as French, they are really too beautiful and touching. In English, Americans now have a spelling, pronunciation and syntactic form, but they are too casual and not of class. How can they compare with the orthodox English of Britain?

This is the reality. Li Mengyang also experienced this situation in later generations. We call this a respect for foreign countries and fawn on foreign countries. The current trend in the United States is even more powerful than ours.

In other words, no matter what, this book "Portrait of Dorling Gray" must be written in pure British native, authentic English, and it is best to add some classical and poetic... This is actually a kind of pretending to behave in this era, but Li Mengyang has no choice. He must do this. Only by doing this can others call you a literary youth.

Fortunately, one of us knows this grammar, and she is Eleanor.

Of course, this kind of ancient English cannot be used in full, just a small part of it to improve the quality of the work. But in fact, what Eleanor used was only Middle English, not so ancient, but this is really enough and very awesome.

In fact, from this aspect, Li Mengyang had some doubts about Eleanor's identity, but she didn't want to say that Li Mengyang wouldn't force her, but if you can help our newspaper, you have to help me, right?

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

What a strange and wonderful idea! What a philosophical and affectionate sentence! How... it contains "basic feelings"?!

"You can sign your name." Li Mengyang always blushed from time to time when he was translating Eleanor. He didn't think much about it. He just thought that this novel might be too outstanding, which made the little girl a little excited.

"No, this is your work!" Eleanor was dispelled by Li Mengyang's words, but... she really couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person is Li Mengyang? Why can he write such a novel? Could he be a 'gay'?

This is an act that God abominable!

Although Li Mengyang doesn't believe in God, he is still a Chinese, but this kind of behavior... Well, Eleanor admits that sometimes, she will chat with her best friends, some girls will express great sympathy and attention to Gay, and even think that it is beautiful, but such thoughts will always arouse the anger of others!

But... for some reason, Eleanor felt a little sad. Could it be that Li Mengyang might be a gay?

At this moment, Eleanor suddenly realized that she might have fallen in love with Li Mengyang, although she has been rejecting such ideas, otherwise, how can she explain all this?

"Just use this pseudonym, Eleanor Li, what do you think?" Li Mengyang naturally didn't know Eleanor's inner thoughts, so he was still struggling with the issue of signature. This guy is quite good at naming, and put the names of the two people together.

“no!!!”

But unexpectedly, this actually caused Eleanor to scream, as if a kitten was stepped on his tail!

"..." Li Mengyang was so scared that she was sweating. This, this is just a name.

"..." Eleanor was extremely embarrassed because this name could not be used no matter what! But now, "No matter how much you care! In short, this name cannot be used, absolutely not! You can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, Eleanor ran away in a flash, leaving only a sweat on Li Mengyang...

In the issue of signature, Li Mengyang simply made a simpler one, which is "Clint Lee & E. Chesnart". Later, Li Mengyang woke up a little. Maybe the name "Eleanor Lee" took advantage of the girl, that is, if a woman in Europe and the United States gets married, she will be given the husband's surname.

Translation issues, classical elegance, signature issues... All of this is done, so Li Mengyang's novel "Portrait of Dorling Gray" began to be serialized in the "New York Evening News".

At this time, the New York Evening News would not have the money to sell newspapers, and would also send the content of the newspaper to various cities through telegrams. Of course, the content of this telegram is mainly exclusive news and articles, those advertisements, and news similar to others. Only fools would shoot telegrams, right? For advertisements, advertisers would send a template to local publishers and let them do it themselves.

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

You know, the circulation of a newspaper now exceeds 10,000, but not many. There are more than 8,000 newspapers in the United States, and only seven or eight newspapers have exceeded 10,000.

In such a newspaper with a circulation, a novel with beautiful words and wonderful ideas suddenly appeared. What kind of results will this produce?

"God! I can actually see such a beautiful and shocking masterpiece in my lifetime. I feel that this life is enough!" The famous novelist, also the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin", after seeing this serialized novel, he directly sent a letter to the New York Evening News!

It seemed that it hit the heart of the female reader in an instant, but this is not over yet.

"I can't believe that I'd see such a work in the newspaper with extremely clever ideas, noble and elegant ancient words. I can't believe that such an article would not be viewed if I didn't go to Bowden College, or go to a well-known university like Cambridge and Oxford in the UK!" The one who gave such a high evaluation was the famous American writer and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau, at this time, which was simply the best advertisement.

If these two people come to endorse this "Portrait of Dorling Gray", what else can I say?

The circulation of the New York Evening News has soared, and countless people even wrote letters to the newspapers to publish novels. If you don’t publish novels, then we will protest!

Then what else to say? Just publish a book, you won’t make a bastard if you have money!

When the novel was still serialized, it was released. Luoyang’s paper was expensive in the eastern United States for a while and thousands of people were gone!

Many people say that this is a historical document in the history of American literature, a phenomenon-level event, and a decision to remove the hat of "countryman" in the entire American cultural community!

Of course, some people are criticized, that is, Nathaniel Hawthorne, who thinks that the same-sex things contained in this book are unacceptable, and God will sin!

But after all, it is contained in the article, and it is not as obvious as it is written. Yes, Wilde also knew that such things would not be accepted by the society at that time. Hawthorne, he was an extremely devout Puritan, so he naturally could not accept it, but others may not.

It should be said that the United States is a Puritan world, but if you really abide by the Puritan life rules completely, it is not a life for human beings, because Puritans live for one purpose, waiting for God’s judgment!

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

So, "Portrait of Dorling Gray" became even more popular!
