Rebirth in America: Great Slave Owner: Chapter 49 "Gone with the Wind"

"Tony, why are you here?" Garrison, the editor-in-chief of the New Orleans City News, asked curiously upon seeing Tangning's arrival.

Tangning's arrival had already surprised Garison, but Tangning's answer surprised him even more. Tangning took out a stack of manuscripts and replied, "Uncle Milo, I have written a novel that I want to publish in Serialize it in your newspaper!"

Even in 1859, the serialization of novels in newspapers was nothing new. For example, Alexandre Dumas' representative work "The Three Musketeers" was serialized in newspapers, but in Garrison's mind, Tangning never did. After writing a novel, why do you suddenly want to publish it in your own newspaper?

But anyway, he also called himself Uncle Milo for so many years, so Garrison didn't want to hit him directly. He thought about reading his novel first, and then picking on his faults and sending him away.

What surprised him even more was that Garrison was a little fascinated by the fact that although Tangning's writing was mediocre, the storyline of this novel called "Gone with the Wind" was really good.

But one thing still made him a little unsure, so he frowned and asked: "Tony, your "Gone with the Wind" is very well written and very attractive, but your story is based on war, is this just about A little too imaginative?"

"A novel, if there are not enough conflicts, it is difficult to design a storyline! Also, don't you think this war is very likely to happen?" Tangning explained.

Because in the novel, Tangning has already explained the cause of the Civil War and the process of the war at the beginning of the war through the mouths of the female protagonist. But after all, this is your fiction!"

"Oh, Uncle Milo, after all, this is just the background of a novel, not a political analysis report. Why are you being so serious?" Tangning advised.

Only then did Garrison react, and he laughed dumbly: "Yeah, I almost forgot that this is just a novel, hey, I don't hide it from you Tony, I've heard and participated in similar discussions, so I'm watching By the time you wrote this, you would have substituted it involuntarily!"

"Hehe, Uncle Milo, do you think this novel can be serialized in "City News"?" Tangning asked off topic.

Garrison nodded without hesitation and replied, "Of course you can. If such a wonderful novel can't be done, then what other novels can be serialized?"

But then the conversation changed and he said: "But the recent serialization of "King Louis" has not ended, so there will not be too many pages that can be provided. If Tony, you can wait until "King Louis" ends..."

"No, it doesn't matter if the page is smaller or the payment is lower, but it must be published as soon as possible!" Tangning insisted.

"Why?" Garrison asked in confusion.

Tangning thought to herself, can I tell you that only the sooner this novel is published, the more it will be able to influence people's hearts and the future of the situation? So he said perfunctorily: "Uncle Milo, you also know that I don't write novels to make money. If I can't publish it as soon as possible, I will probably lose the motivation and interest in writing. If I don't want to write anymore, it doesn't make any sense!"

Although this answer sounds a bit absurd, Garrison really thinks it is very normal, because the rich and children around him are so casual or directly willful, after all, they have the conditions for willful, and I heard the previous paragraph Tony also went to run for Congress. Compared with that, it is more normal for Tuxin to write novels...

I just didn't expect Tony to really have the talent to write novels. The publication of such a wonderful novel will definitely increase the sales of the newspaper. Otherwise, we should study to reduce the layout of "King Louis" and give this "Gone with the Wind" a little more.

After thinking for a long time, Garrison nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I will start publishing your "Gone with the Wind" next week, but Tony, you have to promise to finish this novel, don't let me publish half of it here, you If you turn your head and tell me that you have no inspiration, no mood, etc., then you will give me a pit!"

"Uncle Milo, don't worry, I wouldn't dare to cheat on you!" Tangning nodded quickly in agreement.

Garrison snorted coldly: "Hmph, I don't know who painted the beard on my portrait! I just asked Mr. McGuire to paint it, and it was painted a few days before it was hung. destroyed."

Tangning knew that Garrison was talking about a naughty incident when he was a child. When he went to play at Garrison's house, he added a moustache to the portrait Garrison had just drawn, you know. Before the invention of the camera, it was a very expensive consumption behavior to find someone to take a portrait of oneself. Ordinary people may only have one portrait in their entire life to leave to future generations. The relationship is very good and it also shows that Garrison is rich and not only in this portrait.

"Haha, wasn't that naughty when I was a child? Otherwise, when you have time, I will paint a portrait for you!" Tangning replied with a smile.

"Tony, can you still draw?" Garrison asked in surprise.

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, and I think I'm more talented in drawing than writing novels!" Tangning said this with great confidence. After all, he had studied oil painting before crossing the road, and writing novels was a part-time job. .

"Oh Tony, I haven't seen you very much for several years. You have so much more ability. If only Biff could be like you!" Garrison said with emotion.

"Biff" is Garrison's son. Because he is a few years older than Tangning and plays different things, he rarely gets together. He heard that Garrison wanted to treat him as "other people's child" When they came to educate Biff, Tangning quickly persuaded, "Uncle Milo, don't say that. Brother Biff is very good. I believe he will become a well-known biologist!" "Infinite Little Brightness" is almost the same, just like to study small bugs, not to mention this hobby in 1859, even in 2022, there are not many parents who can understand...

PS: Because of the departure of Little Box and Mr. Sa, I didn’t watch all of the “Star Detective” in the seventh season, but just picked a few cases that I am more interested in and watched it, but the classics were left out unsurprisingly. , This is "The Sin under the Rose", this case can be said to be the case with the strongest story in the seventh season I have seen, and it is also the type I like.
