Tokuda Jiro is a well-known Japanese mystery novelist, whose masterpiece "The Eighth Seat of the Tram" won the Spring and Autumn Mystery Novel Award that year with an absolute advantage, and is quite famous in Japan and even Asia.

In addition, Tokuda Jiro is also a researcher of Chinese history, and has long been looking forward to exploring the history of Chinese civilization on Treasure Island, which can be regarded as a China expert.

In February, Lu Yiti proposed that a Japanese version of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" would be launched, and Liu Jingting immediately agreed, but a few months later, there would be such an aftermath.

Tokuda's critique of the novel focuses on the reasoning part, and the rhetoric is not just "somewhat intense" as Miyashien puts it, but almost extreme.

"The absurd setting of the protagonist's personal ability,In my opinion, it's already naïve.,Who can run faster than a horse?Who can breathe in every pore of the body?This kind of setting beyond natural logic,IMHO,Fully exposed the author's incompetence in writing the story.,After you pit yourself.,There's no reasonable solution.,I have to give the protagonist infinite divine light.,It's a pity.。 ”

The host of the interview symbolically defended: "Just like the superman of the United States, this is the understanding of superheroes in the context of our national culture, and it is difficult for Amada-kun not to think that this is an extension of the protagonist's personal ability?"

Tokuda Jiro waved his hand and said: "The extension of personal ability is indeed an important means to attract readers, but we must pay attention to a logic, rather than adding random additions at will, such as Superman can fly, this is our unified cognition, but suddenly one day Superman played a set of Tai Chi in your country when facing the enemy, is it a big surprise?"

The host smiled noncommittally and motioned for Tokuda Jiro to continue.

Of course, this is not the part that infuriates me the most, and the most unacceptable thing to me is that this novel should be disguised as a mystery when it was released in our country. Isn't the public writing of the word 'reasoning' just in response to the idiom of your country, 'Banmen gets the axe'? This novel is completely pseudo-reasoning, and it cannot even be described by reasoning at all, and this is an act of deceiving readers. ”

The host hurriedly said: "There is a saying in our country, called 'the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wise', I don't know if Mr. Tokuda has ever heard of it?" After saying this, the camera was qiē, and the host faced the audience and said: "Tokuda Jiro's evaluation of "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" may be reasonable, but it is not difficult to see that his own pride in local literature and art is still very strong. Therefore, his views definitely do not represent our Ocean TV, and even I can't agree with them all, but literature and art are like this, and a hundred schools of thought can prosper. ”

This is the attitude that the host has insisted on or performed from beginning to end. While guiding foreign friends to criticize Gu Yongsheng and his works, he also pretended to be objective. Pretend to refute it. After all, the grievances between the two countries are deep-rooted, and Ocean TV dares to express its support clearly, and there must be no good fruit to eat.

Tokuda's criticism is obviously just the beginning, and after an advertisement, Tokuda-kun has already pointed the finger at the entire mystery fiction industry in China.

"There is actually no mystery novel in your country," Tokuda Jiro said in a conceited tone. "Even though you have had a genius like Di Renjie in the past, this is a question that I have always been puzzled about. ”

The host retorted: "It should be that Tokuda-kun has misunderstood, there are still many mystery novels in our country, including the younger generation, and there are also a large number of authors who are creating such novels." ”

Tokuda smiled slightly contemptuously, "I've seen it." Actually, I can basically guess the ending after only reading a few chapters, too clumsy layout, too naïve foreshadowing, and even problems with the coherence and continuity of the story, I think those young mystery writers in your country not only do not understand how to write mystery novels, but also do not fully understand the concept of fiction. ”

The host rightly shook his head disapprovingly and said, "It's too biased." ”

"Then let me ask you, do you have any mystery novels that sell well abroad?"

The moderator was speechless.

"Or let me put it another way, do you have any novels that sell well abroad?"

The host sighed with regret on his face.

In the world where Liu Jingting once lived, the lack of cultural products exported to the outside world was also a matter that made the entire literary and artistic world ashamed, so Tokuda Jiro asked this question with confidence.

Liu Jingting, who was sitting in front of the TV, watched the entire interview expressionlessly, and Gong Chengen scolded angrily: "This little devil is too arrogant, is the ocean dead?"

Liu Jingting was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "There is there, this is here, since there is such an opportunity, where can you be so arrogant?"

Gong Chengen turned his head and patted Liu Jingting on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be like a little devil, he doesn't understand our culture." ”

"Some things are still common," Liu Jingting suddenly smiled warmly, "Their country is indeed good at and keen on mystery novels, if you want to return this slap, you can only use the hand of God to treat others in their own way, hey, don't worry about it for now." ”

Gong Chengen glanced at Liu Jingting, stopped talking, and then smiled with relief and said, "Then finish our TV series together first." ”

Liu Jingting naturally knew what Gong Chengen wanted to say, it was nothing more than persuading himself not to take the initiative to challenge Tokuda's words, although he was indignant on his lips, but he also knew very well in his heart that Gu Yongsheng could write martial arts, fairy tales, and even romance, but reasoning novels were completely different themes, even if "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" had a wonderful reasoning plot, but if he really had to face Tokuda Jiro, who was good at this, and even the entire Japan behind it, there was basically no chance of winning.

……

Back at the hotel in the evening, Liu Jingting took a shower, adjusted the air conditioner, sat cross-legged on the bed, with a black notebook on his lap, and a pencil in his right hand to write.

The first line of the notebook reads "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and the following remarks: Not for the time being. As the "Bible" of mystery fiction, this novel is obviously not yet ready to appear.

The second line reads "No One Survives", and the following remarks: Not used for the time being. The novel has sold more than 100 million copies worldwide and is one of the most accomplished mystery novels in many mystery fiction rankings, but neither the style nor the setting of this novel is suitable for Tokuda Jiro.

The next few lines such as "The Da Vinci Code" and "The Collected Short Stories of Edgar Allan Poe" are all about this problem, until the last line, three titles are written in succession: "After School", "White Night Walking", and "The Devotion of Suspect X".

These three novels are from Uncle Keigo Higashino, who "created a unique miracle in the history of Japanese mystery novels", Uncle Higashino had a great influence in China at that time, and his works have won the first place in the sales list of mystery novels for many times, and he has twice appeared on the list of Chinese writers rich "Foreign Writers Rich List", winning the top ten and top five respectively, causing a great sensation.

What's more, the three novels listed by Liu Jingting more or less reflect a certain progression, which can make Tokuda Jiro swallow back what he said little by little.

Liu Jingting marked after these three novels: Available. Then, put a tick behind "After School".

Many years ago, when the foreign powers invaded China, they used the policy of using China to control China despicably, and now Liu Jingting uses razing to control China, which can be regarded as some kind of compensation in the dark! (To be continued......
