There is no love without a reason in the world, and there is no hate without a reason.

Riley doesn't like Mr. X, of course, for no reason, jealousy is one thing and another thing that helps him promote his work.

What is Mr. X, the hottest writer at the moment, there is no one.

Riley's "Black, White and Gray" has won the appreciation of the literary and artistic circles, and naturally there is a certain amount of truth.

However, as an award-winning work, the box office of "Black, White and Gray" is not so powerful, although it has won many awards, but "Black, White and Gray" has always lacked explosive topics.

In terms of grades, Mr. X can kill Riley, but in terms of awards, Riley can kill Mr. X in seconds.

Mr. X's work, as everyone knows, is biased towards commerciality, otherwise it would not have been able to achieve such results.

Riley finally gets the chance to baash Mr. X when he is on a talk show.

Naturally, not too many people pay attention to the general criticism, after all, Mr. X's works, in fact, each one is also accompanied by controversy, there are more people who scold, and there are more people who don't like him.

But this time, Riley fired the cannon hard.

"As a famous writer of suspense, how do you think your work compares to Mr. X?"

"Mr. X? I've read his work, and I don't think there's any comparison between his work and mine. ”

"The Da Vinci Code won the number one place on the bestseller list, and it is undeniable that this work does have a lot of merit, but this is a clever work, Mr. X deliberately implanted those seemingly mysterious things into it, in fact, purely in terms of plot, it is really average. ”

"Its success is not accidental, but premeditated, everyone knows, the reason why "The Da Vinci Code" will succeed is entirely because, in it, he carried out a series of distortions and processing of some religious history, events, etc., and successfully attracted the disgust of those religious people, and young people in the real society have a kind of rebellious psychology, the more they are scolded, the more they are criticized, the more curious they are, I think this is the key to its success, as for the artistic value, sorry, I really don't see it. ”

"What about Sherlock Holmes?"

"Sherlock Holmes is actually not that popular in North America, it's a work that pleases British readers, and it's all about the mystery, and the biggest merit of it is only that the narrative is different in terms of way and structure, and I really don't see any depth in the case or something. ”

"If it weren't for the advocacy of Fleet Street, "Sherlock Holmes" would have been just an ordinary suspense reasoning. ”

"In fact, looking at Mr. X's works, it is not difficult for everyone to find that he always wins by surprise, in fact, is the work itself really that exciting? No, so after "Midnight Bell", Mr. X does not write suspense, "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" can succeed because it is a martial arts work, and what is martial arts? That has always been a unique cultural feature of China, and it is precisely because Mr. X's nationality is unclear that it will make people curious. ”

"Harry Potter can prove that Mr. X is no longer sure of suspense reasoning, so he will continue to create subversion, a suspense writer, suddenly become a children's writer, isn't this change enough to explain everything?"

"You mean Mr. X wrote Harry Potter because he wanted to be a surprise?"

"Of course!"

"Not only that, I dare say that if you let Mr. X write suspense now, he will definitely not be able to continue the surprise success of the previous works. ”

Riley chose to bombard Mr. X at this time and question Mr. X, it is also a good time, "Harry Potter" has just ended, Mr. X's new work has not yet been released, and those who question Mr. X's previous work are actually ignored.

But questioning Mr. X's new work, this is interesting, because at this time, Mr. X's new work is the most eye-catching, Riley said that Mr. X's new work will definitely not continue to write suspense, so no matter what Mr. X's new work is in the end, his goal has been achieved.

If Mr. X's new work is not suspicious, wouldn't it be just in response to his words, and Mr. X's previous works were just surprisingly successful.

If Mr. X's new work is suspenseful, then he can make a fuss about Mr. X's new work, and he can get attention anyway.

As for whether he will be slapped in the face in the end, for Riley, how much is the cheeky horse worth?

Riley's release of the cannon has indeed attracted a lot of attention, because even if Mr. X is questioned before, he generally will not criticize Mr. X's works as worthless, after all, people's sales are there.

But Riley is different, he not only doubts Mr. X's work, but also criticizes the uselessness, and he also looks like he has figured out the secret of Mr. X's success, whether his words are believed or not, at least, he has succeeded in attracting attention.

In recent years, it is similar at home and abroad, as long as they can create a topic, they don't care whether it is against their will or not, as long as they can attract enough attention, they can be cheeky and disciplined.

It's too common to rub the red carpet, rub the topic, and rub the heat.

Riley is rubbing the topic and heat at the moment, who made Mr. X popular?

Nima's "Harry Potter", a highly questionable work, can be sold at a high price, how can it not be eye-catching?

And you have the ability to come out and scare me, anyway, doesn't Mr. X want to keep it mysterious?

Naturally, it is impossible for Mr. X to come forward and fight with Riley, but the fans quit, so Mr. Riley's fans scolded one by one, but there will be no less meat when scolded, and the key is that this is exactly what Riley wants.

I have to say that although Riley is shameless, his "Black, White and Gray" still gets a lot of exposure, after all, if you want to know who scolded Mr. X, you must first figure out who he is, right?

As a result, "Black, White and Gray" naturally scolded Mr. **'s book fans, but the premise of your scolding is to go to the movies, isn't it?

For Riley, scold, the more you scold, the more well-known "Black, White and Gray" becomes.

Of course, there are also negative effects, that is, in terms of word-of-mouth, in terms of ratings, "Black, White and Gray" has almost been brushed to the lowest score in history.

On the other hand, book fans have also signed a joint petition to let Mr. X give Riley a resounding slap in the face, didn't he say that Mr. X's new work dare not write suspense?
