Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner

Chapter 63: "Downing Manor"

After Tangning thought about it, she understood what Garrison meant. Because "Gone with the Wind" raised readers' expectations for the serialized stories of "City Daily", the quality of the serialized stories now published was not as good as that of "Gone with the Wind" before. It was about the same time as "Beautiful Woman", but for readers, the quality dropped sharply, so it caused dissatisfaction and the number of subscriptions naturally dropped sharply.

Although she understood, Tangning still said she couldn't help, because he did not write "Gone with the Wind" to make money or to be a great writer. His main purpose was to carry illicit goods and publish his opinions and predictions about the Civil War. Now his purpose has been achieved. Now, of course, you don't want to spend time and energy writing novels. If you have time, why not play games with Caroline and the others?

However, Garrison couldn't hold back his begging, and Tangning's mind suddenly flashed, so she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, then I'll think of a way!"

Garrison thought Tangning was going to start writing, but what he didn't expect was that Tangning wanted to find a shooter for herself, and the target had already been selected, that is Heidi, because the two collaborated on "Hao Scarlett" last time. He was very happy, and he was very satisfied with Heidi's writing and speed.

As for what to write, he hadn't made up his mind yet, or there were too many options, and he didn't know what to copy, so he planned to chat with Heidi, the ghostwriter.

It was not the first time for the Clark family's Tangning to come here, but he didn't know why. This time, he always felt that the family, from the maid to the master, looked at him strangely, but it was inconvenient to ask questions.

Heidi was naturally very happy to learn that Tangning was going to write a new book, and quickly asked, "Mr. Tangning, what kind of story are you going to write this time?"

But to her surprise, Tangning spread her hands and said, "To be honest, I haven't made up my mind yet!"

Seeing Heidi's dazed expression, Tangning explained, "It's because I haven't figured out what to write, so I want to discuss it with you, Miss Clark, to see what themes and stories readers like, so I can prepare. "

Heidi thought for a while, and then replied, "It's naturally a story similar to "Gone with the Wind"!"

"But the problem is that I've already finished writing stories like this in Gone With the Wind, so it's hard for me to write a similar story again!" Tangning shook her head and replied.

Although Heidi was a little disappointed by this answer, she could understand it, but at this time Tangning changed her tone and said, "However, if you change the background, you can write a similar story!"

"Oh? What background?" Heidi asked curiously.

"For example, if you change the background from the United States to the United Kingdom, I believe that you will be very interested in the stories that take place in the United Kingdom!" Tangning said this because English and French novels are very popular in the United States. In fact, this is normal. Phenomenon, after all, the Americans themselves are European immigrants, and the time since their founding is too short to form their own cultural characteristics, coupled with similar living habits, there are indeed many fine literature in English and French, and the influence of British and French aristocrats in the United States is also great (otherwise it would not There will be so many rich Americans marrying the poor nobles of Britain and France), so it is easy for American readers to write a novel with a British background.

As for Tangning's idea, Heidi agreed, "This is indeed a good idea, but Mr. Tangning, can I have an opinion??"

Tangning nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course!"

"I hope this time the ending will be a happy reunion. Although I can understand the tension and profound expression in literature, most readers still hope to see a warm and reunion story!" Heidi suggested.

"Okay, then this time I'll write a story about a big, warm family!" Tangning said, because he already had several cases in mind before he came. One of the options was the classic British drama "Downton Abbey". ".

As a Downton fan, Downing has watched "Downton Abbey" over and over again and again, and it can be said that it was this show that brought him to understand the United Kingdom, and then the Premier League and Agatha Christie.

And "Downton Abbey" is also convenient to stuff some private goods, because "Downton Abbey" itself is about the different attitudes of different characters of a noble family in the face of the times and social changes, which can be mixed with a lot of their own different attitudes. A point of view that is convenient to express directly.

Then Tangning began to tell the story of the first season of "Downton Abbey". Of course, he replaced the Titanic with another ship, and it was also diluted. Shipwrecks are no strangers.

Maybe it's because the Clark family is not a small family, and there are various conflicts within the family and the generation gap between members of different age groups. UUkanshu www.uukanshu. Heidi is no stranger to all kinds of problems between com servants and masters, so she felt immersed when she heard it, as if this was the story that happened in her home and around her.

Seeing Heidi's concentration, Tangning was very satisfied, so she asked with a smile, "Miss Clark, what do you think of this story?"

"Very wonderful, very wonderful!" Heidi praised without hesitation, and even couldn't help clapping.

"Then are you sure you can write this story well?" Tangning asked again.

Heidi was stunned when she heard this question, and she couldn't believe her ears, "Mr. Tangning, did you say that? I, I wrote this story?"

Tangning nodded and replied, "Of course, you also know that I've been very busy lately. I want to set up a bicycle factory with your brother, and I'm lazy, so I don't want to write novels at all. On the contrary, I think you're a good fit for Miss Clark. Writing novels, especially this kind of family genre, last time Scarlett Haw is the best example, so I would like to ask you Miss Clark to write this "Downton Abbey", but one thing must be said in advance Clearly, all the proceeds this time must be yours!"

Tangning thought Heidi would push back, but she hesitated for a while, then nodded and agreed, "Okay, but Mr. Tangning, I have one condition that you must agree to, otherwise don't talk about these benefits. , I won't even write this novel!"

"Oh? Under what conditions?" Tangning asked nervously.

"That is to change the Downton Abbey in the novel into Downing Manor!" Heidi replied mischievously.
