Volume I, Chapter 842

Next chapter

Miro? Masson's review was just the beginning, and soon under the operation, the Commonwealth Child Protection Association and others launched a protest against the novel "Detective Conan", and finally, the starting point had to let "Detective Conan" be removed from the Commonwealth region. （）

Yes, it was forced to be taken off the shelves, because "Detective Conan" is technically suspected of violating child protection laws.

It's just that what the company didn't expect was that although "Detective Conan" was taken off the shelves, the impact on Tang Feng was minimal, because there are still many people who think that Miro? Masson made a bit of a fuss, because although "Detective Conan" is about children, the work is not as bad as he says.

As for Tang Feng, he received a lot of attention because of the ban on "Detective Conan", and soon many people in the Commonwealth exclaimed.

In particular, Tang Feng's achievements in China have made many people in the Commonwealth exclaim incredible, and at the same time, the popularity of Tang Feng's previously unpopular translated versions of martial arts novels has actually risen a little.

What made the company even more depressed was still to come, that is, when people were surprised to find that the collection of fairy tales from China, which had recently sold well, was actually from the hands of this miracle son, which suddenly helped Tang Feng increase the sales of this work by a large margin.

Of course, there is no negative news, that is, "Detective Conan" was not only removed from the Commonwealth, but also in the entire English-speaking region, for the same reason, that is, this work has children as the protagonists, but it is a crime mystery novel, which is obviously undesirable.

Originally, Tang Feng was still a little entangled, which novel to choose, but now it's okay, didn't people say it, Chinese people don't know how to reason at all?

So the detective novel he is going to launch this time is Conan? Doyle's magnum opus, Sherlock Holmes.

In the previous life, when it came to the profession of detective, who was the first thing that came to people's minds?

It's really not Conan, nor is it the highest detective in the detective chair, but Sherlock Holmes from the United Kingdom!

Conan? Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has almost become synonymous with detectives, and "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" has become a detective fan, in the previous life, "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" has been put on the big screen many times, and there are many TV series about Sherlock Holmes.

In previous lives, the British royal family even granted Sherlock Holmes the title of knight to the fictional character, and this is only a fictional character, so it is not difficult to imagine the status of Sherlock Holmes in Britain.

Although it is somewhat incomprehensible, in his previous life, in the hearts of the British, Sherlock Holmes was no longer a fictional character, but a real person living at 221B Baker Street, England.

Yes, "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" is so powerful, there is a saying that art knows no borders, although the art of magic horses for Tang Feng, are nonsense, but speculative novels know no borders, this can be seen from Detective Conan, from Sherlock Holmes can also be popular in China, some unique cultures can not be shared, but some cultures can be common, but before that, Tang Feng still carefully consulted some information, fortunately, although the Commonwealth of this world is also popular with speculative novels, But there's really no Sherlock Holmes work.

Therefore, during this time, Tang Feng began to get busy again, that is, writing "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection".

The background of "Sherlock Holmes" is in the United Kingdom, and the protagonist is also British, if this work is placed in China, then the sense of substitution is indeed a problem, but if it is placed in the United Kingdom, there is no need to worry.

"Sherlock Holmes" has a total of fifty-six short stories, four long ones! Mystery novels are not the same as the rest of the novels, and each case is separate and independent.

Tang Feng finally chose the short story "The Red Hair Club", and Sherlock Holmes was born in "A Study of Blood Letters", but it was the medium-length "Four Signatures" that really stepped onto the world stage!

Here I have to mention "The Redheads" and "The Four Signatures", the story of "The Redheads" takes place later than "The Four Signatures", but there is a connection between the two.

If "A Study in Scarlet" is Conan? If Doyle's first attempt is to cry, then "Four Signatures" can be said to be the beginning of its success.

You must know that Conan Doyle's "Study of Scarlet Letters" suffered several rejections at the beginning of submission, and it was not until "Four Signatures" that Sherlock Holmes was really recognized.

The reason why I don't take out "Four Signatures" directly, first, is that although "Four Signatures" is wonderful, it is a medium-length novel, if Tang Feng's reputation in the Commonwealth can be half that of China, then Tang Feng can directly launch "Four Signatures" However, I have to say that "Sherlock Holmes" In Tang Feng's view, in the middle and long stories, the beginning part is really not exciting, because reasoning novels need to be foreshadowed, and what is really exciting is the process of decryption.

So Tang Feng chose "Red Hair Club" related to "Four Signatures", the whole article of "Red Hair Club" is only more than 20,000 words, which can be said to be short and concise, but it is absolutely wonderful and rigorous, and "Red Hair Club" itself is also Tang Feng's favorite one.

Especially among them, Sherlock Holmes was able to tell what a person was doing from what he was wearing just a few glances, etc., and Tang Feng was also surprised when he saw it.

"Gingers"? When Tang Feng passed the manuscript over, when he saw this name, the editor-in-chief of Qidian was a little surprised, because simply looking at the name, this is really nothing special.

It's just that after reading "Red Hair Club", the editor-in-chief of Qidian, who is in charge of the review of the international station, was inexplicably surprised.

Because if you simply put this work out, I'm afraid no one will believe that this work is from the hands of a Chinese, because this work follows the first-person writing, and the protagonist is not the first person, such a narrative technique, writing technique, Fang Shaohua, who has been engaged in the study of foreign countries for a long time, can be seen at a glance, this is the usual writing technique of Westerners, if it is placed in China, many people may feel a little strange when they see it, but this work is mainly in the English-speaking area, so, It is obviously more appropriate to write it this way.

Fang Shaohua was able to be entrusted with an important task by Qidian, but because Fang Shaohua had served as a reviewer and editor in a foreign publishing house, and during this period, he also discovered several works that were not good.

What surprised Fang Shaohua even more was that when he tried to translate this work into English, he was surprised to find that this novel not only follows the habits of Western writers in writing techniques, but also is extremely smooth in translation, which is very different from previous translations of Chinese works.

Even Fang Shaohua was a little skeptical, was this work originally translated from English? Otherwise, it comes from the hand of a Chinese, but it is written with a Western flavor?

If Tang Feng knew Fang Shaohua's thoughts, I am afraid that he would also be surprised by the viciousness of Fang Shaohua's eyes, because the original version of this "Red Hair Club", including "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", is in English, just because Tang Feng has only read the Chinese version, so even if he copies it, he can only copy the Chinese version.
