I Am a Nobleman in England

A real nobleman is a man of high moral character, a chivalrous spirit, a man who is not afraid of difficulties and dangers, a man who abides by certain rules and always flows with gratitude to his ancestors.

The contemporary British aristocrats have declined, and their wealth and power are gradually lost. What is left is the glorious noble titles and family glory left by the ancestors. Therefore, fame and honor are the last dignity of the British aristocracy.

Therefore, some things can only be done and cannot be said. Low-key is the kingly way.

It is true that the so-called ancestors of the first generation of these aristocratic families who were promoted to this class were mostly people with high aspirations but not clean morals, because if black and white were not used together, they would rarely achieve success, let alone Said to occupy a place in such a brutally competitive society. But history is always written by successful people. People often remember the many advantages and achievements of nobles, but they seem to ignore their shortcomings or moral corruption, and they have long since disappeared with them.

Even though many nobles in modern times have fallen, there is still an unbreakable concept of social hierarchy in the noble class, which stubbornly maintains the superiority of noble blood over commoner blood.

At first, Arthur didn't think there was any problem with "Fifty Shades of Grey". But it has been accompanied by controversy.

After thinking about it, he suddenly felt that Emilia's warning was justified. Perhaps everything in the cash world was closely related to xing, and xing's rules ruled every field and corner.

Perhaps this is not alarmist talk, after all, some disharmonious information has been flooded on the Internet. However, if you observe more closely, it is not difficult to find that between frivolous sensual pleasure and serious moral criticism, there are still strict boundaries and tensions between the public and private spheres.

Public entertainment lace, romantic anecdotes, may still detonate public opinion crusade at any time. For example, although contemporary, SA de Marquis has re-emerged in professional literary and intellectual circles. However, as a writer who has a profound insight into and thinking about human nature, it still cannot conceal Sade's notoriety in the eyes of the public.

Arthur didn't dare to gamble with his own fame and honor, he really flinched. Indeed, after the publication of "Fifty Shades of Gray" in his previous life, the middle-aged aunt rose to fame and gained both fame and fortune, but the other party was just a woman after all. Ordinary people, middle-aged aunts! Now that the author is replaced by him, Earl Arthur, will people really accept it? Treat with kindness?

I'm afraid not necessarily!

Ridiculous, bantering, complaints, behind-the-scenes discussions will flood in, and the aristocratic circle in England will probably be alienated and isolated on purpose. It will completely push him away from the British aristocracy, which is rejected by the mainstream thinking in England.

Although all these are just Arthur's own associations, maybe things may not be so bad, but he has to guard against it. After all, despite the corruption of England, the mainstream of the cultural world is still dominated by conservative.

In the eyes of the British, the Industrial Revolution did bring about economic development and material prosperity, but industry and commerce inherently advocate competition and praise profit-seeking, while excessive emphasis on material wealth and individualistic self-interest behaviors, once popularized, will corrupt social morality and corrupt people's morality. The soul, leading to the collapse of the beautiful English spiritual tradition.

This kind of critical opinion was even universally recognized and gathered into a tower. Over the past few decades, it not only developed into a set of conservative ideology and was absorbed by the mainstream of British cultural circles, but also slowly infiltrated into the soil and became a kind of national consciousness. The British believe that the value of Britain lies not in the new trends it leads, but in its antiquity, so it is necessary to protect its unique heritage from being obliterated by the new era.

The risk is too great. Once some imprints are stamped, it is not so easy to wash them off.

This risk, Arthur told himself, must not be taken, and the most important thing is to be safe.

Let's look at the trend of public opinion first, maybe when he really achieves fame and becomes a real winner, this may become a small comment on his legend, but now, he is just an N-generation nobleman who has inherited the title and family property , This is to recruit black physique!

"...Sorry, I can't agree to your company's request to cooperate with the publicity on this one!"

The castle is huge and gorgeous, as magnificent as a church, surrounded by tall sculptures, and the top is the main hall with exquisite murals. The team of Random House Publishing House brought by Arthur and Tom sat there, although some of them were slightly On the large sofa made of Spanish leather in the 17th century, which was old but full of vicissitudes, Arthur put the opened contract on the coffee table in front of him, and directly refused.

"Not only can't agree to your agency's request to cooperate with the publicity, but I also hope that your agency will keep the fact that I am the author of the novel "Fifty Shades of Grey" a secret, and cannot disclose or make it public!"

Hearing Arthur's request, Tom and the people at Random House Publishing House were taken aback, but they soon realized that everyone is smart, and some things don't need to be said too bluntly.

"However, this will inevitably affect the promotion and sales of the novel. Your Excellency Earl Arthur, I believe you should also be aware that your identity can play a huge role in publicity and influence the sales of this novel... "

"I know all of this, but it's impossible. To be honest, I wrote this novel as a joke at the beginning, but then it suddenly became popular on the forum for some reason. I originally wanted to stop it, but in order not to let readers They were disappointed, so I continued to create. I wanted to update it directly on the Internet for free for readers to read.

However, more and more publishing houses privately contacted me, so I had to think about it, and finally decided to find the most powerful publishing house to publish. The strength of your company is beyond doubt. In the hands of your company, it will definitely become a bestseller. After all, it has already received more than 50 million hits and has a considerable readership base. I think that once these people convert, they will get an astonishing sales figure.

Moreover, the author's sense of mystery may not be a bad thing, so let's leave this suspense and let everyone guess!" Arthur leaned on the sofa, crossed his hands in front of him, and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Earl Arthur...here." The person in charge of Random Books had a wry smile on his face and didn't know how to persuade the young earl on the opposite side. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and tried to persuade him again: "Your concerns And worry, we can understand, but, your Excellency, no matter on the Internet or in reality, all-pervasive reporters will inevitably trace the novel author’s true identity, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to keep it secret.”

"I have also considered this point, but I believe that both your company and we strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement, and the time for this exposure will be delayed for a long time. If your company and I do not come forward to admit or deny it, even if it is exposed, it will only be more. It's just a gimmick, which is also good for sales.

Affirmation and speculation, acknowledgment and non-denial, have two effects on the guidance of public opinion. This matter, just like this, I will not change my attitude! "Arthur expressed his firm attitude directly without hesitation.
