Sherlock Holmes had a brother who was smarter than him, more eccentric than Holmes himself, who was obviously lazy and a dog, but chose a profession that was more laborious than a detective - a politician. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

McCroft, who started a strange club called the Diogenes Club.

The rules of this club, which prohibit conversation, were established for the purpose of allowing people to read and rest the newspaper without restraint. There is no doubt that the rules and the name are strange, not to mention that the name of this club comes from the author's most hated philosopher, Diogenes, a representative of the Cynic school who lives like a dog.

The Diogenes Club is fictional, and although Sherlock Holmes will become the world's largest gathering place for mystery discussions when it is released, it is still a fiction.

In reality, there are also quite a few strange clubs, such as Gideon Phil's Club, which is located on a street in the magic capital, which is a private club.

As you can tell from the name, it is a mystery discussion club, and it is also stipulated that only the content of mystery novels can be discussed in the club.

As an aside, Gideon Phil is not as well-known as Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, but he is also the most awesome secret room detective.

Anyway, as long as Phil is there, any kind of murder can become a secret room, not to mention Blue Star, without Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, Phil is even more famous.

Let's get down to business, the Gideon Phil Club is now sitting around four morning members, not taking a sip of the teacup on the table.

Very good conversation:

"Mystery fiction is now the equivalent of the fairy tale novels of three years ago, and it is about to enter a golden age. ”

"Not necessarily, I don't think the blink of mystery novels is as prosperous as fairy tales. ”

"Why can't it be compared? Fairy tales can be revitalized, mainly because of the satisfaction of two points, the timing brought by long-term loneliness, and the accumulation of the reader market, both of which are available in mystery novels. ”

"Let me tell you a statistic, my publishing house, last year, only published a total of three mystery novels, but this month, more than 20 days, there are already four mystery novels on the agenda, and the planned publication is five, this increase is very terrifying. ”

These four chatters are all related to mystery novels.

The man who started talking was a reporter from a newspaper and a well-known critic, such as "No One Survived", that is, he was the first to say that Han Shi was the originator of the crime in the secret room.

Then the middle-aged man who refuted it, wrote a mystery novel, to be precise, he wrote a popular mystery novel, and later because the sales were not good, he transcribed the supernatural, and now he is also a best-selling author in the supernatural circle.

looks like an analyst emperor, he is a gold medal planner, and he has stirred up a lot of reasoning IPs, and the remaining data emperor is the highest status among the four, the deputy editor-in-chief of a publishing house.

The reporter answered: "Why do you think there is no way to reason, and it rises like a fairy tale." ”

"Let me tell you my point of view, although the reasoning has been lonely in the past two years, there are still excellent novels occasionally, unlike fairy tales, before "Pinocchio", there are really no works to support the scene in recent years. "The supernatural middle-aged male author is methodical.

The gold medal planner seemed to have remembered something, and began to agree with the words of the supernatural middle-aged male author: "The impact of "No One Survives" on the mystery theme is indeed equivalent to that of "Pinocchio" on fairy tales, but "Dear Sherlock Holmes" is far inferior to "The Little Prince". ”

The vice president of the publishing house nodded, he knew the data that some people in the industry only knew, and spoke: "The sales volume of "Dear Sherlock Holmes" announced by the Demon Capital Publishing House has 1.1 million copies, but the actual sales should only be more than 900,000 copies. ”

"Han Gongzi is talented and talented, but he has too many ideas and wants to seek innovation and change too much. The middle-aged male author said:.

"Han Gongzi is popular, popular and capricious, and can be tossed casually. The vice president of the publishing house said: "Dear Sherlock Holmes, no matter what reasoning writer makes, he will be scolded to death, and the sales will be bleak, but Han Gongzi stubbornly relied on his reputation and popularity to make this book have mixed reputations, and I am afraid that he is the only one in China who is this kind of author." ”

The reporter laughed: "What's the matter?"

"Of course envy, because of Han Gongzi, the annual book sales of the Modu Publishing House have increased by at least 18%, which is really a baby pimple, if only my publishing house also had this kind of author. The vice president's tone was undisguised with envy and jealousy.

"Haha's eyes are red, but you see, there is no best-selling author next to you, and his "Soul Exploration" series is currently the best-selling series of supernatural books in China. The reporter was talking about the middle-aged male author next to him.

"That is, although the sales of the supernatural cannot be compared to the sales of reasoning and fairy tales, the readers are very loyal, not to mention that Hansi can write reasoning, but Han Gongzi can't write supernatural, speaking of which Hansi is much more powerful than Han Shi. ”

The sedan chair was carried by everyone, and the Han Temple was the real name of the supernatural middle-aged male author, and the gold medal planner and reporter praised it.

At first, the reporter just said that the supernatural author was very powerful, but then he jumped directly to the point where he was even more powerful than Han Shi.

"How about it, should you change the publishing house for the next book of Hansi. The vice president also said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Where is it so powerful, Han Gongzi is known as the first genius in China, it's not just a casual talk, as for the new book, I don't have a clue yet. The supernatural male author replied very interestingly.

First of all, he was humble, but looking at his tone, he agreed with the words of the gold medal plan, he could write reasoning, but Han Gongzi couldn't write supernatural, and then politely rejected the matter of the new book.

"It looks like I don't have a chance. The vice president was not discouraged and took the initiative to change the topic: "Han Gongzi's new book "Mr. Holmes", I took a cursory look, and the protagonist is an old detective in his nineties. ”

"Han Gongzi is really so willful?" The reporter was a little unconvinced, after all, he always thought that "Dear Sherlock Holmes" was a foreshadowing for the next book.

"It's more capricious than you think, I looked at it, the new book not only has the protagonist in his nineties, but also seems to be mostly emotional, and the reasoning plot doesn't take up much space. The vice president added.

He did flip through it, and although he didn't read it seriously, he could probably read a lot of content.

"It's a pity that the reader can endure one book, but not the second one. The supernatural author said: "I don't know if the sales can break a million copies if I write like this." ”

"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and a million copies are fine, but it's definitely out of action within a month. "Gold medal planning judgment.

A few people said as if "Mr. Holmes" was not a header at all. (To be continued.) )
