Chapter 13 Mystery Novels

Su Shichen doesn't think he is a first-class writer anymore, although for some reasons, his popularity in Yangcheng is temporarily comparable to that of first-class writers, but the influence of first-class writers is not one or two cities, that is covering the whole country.

If you classify it according to the game, the first-class writer is the national fame, and Su Shichen is only the city-level fame. Of course, there are also international writers standing at the top of the pyramid, which is still too big for Su Shichen now.

"Chenchen, is it okay to promise Sister Zhao~" Su Shichen was thinking about it on the side, and suddenly heard Zhao Xiang's coquettish voice, which was indeed a long coquettish tail, which made him instantly get goosebumps.

I don't know when, Zhao Tangyu sat next to him, grabbed his hand with both hands, and then kept squeezing his elbow with a nuclear weapon, which was indeed very comfortable, but now Tang Lingyu was staring straight at him, and the cold sweat was like sitting on wax!

Sister Zhao! You're the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper! You're a young woman.,Not Lori.,This kind of Lori-like coquettish way is not suitable for you at all!!

"Okay, Sister Zhao, I will naturally agree, and it just so happens that I have recently written a novel."

"Oh?" Zhao Tangtang's face immediately looked serious, as if it was not her who was holding Su Shichen's hand just now.

"What novel? Tell Sister Zhao about it. ”

"Well, it's a series, and this series contains a lot of long stories, medium las, and short stories, and I've written a few short stories so far."

"Oh?" Zhao Tang opened his mouth wide and looked cute, but Tang Lingyu had a cold face, which was a bit like the identities of the two mother and daughter were reversed.

"It's a detective named Sherlock Holmes who solves a crime, and the case is long and short, so there will be a short story if there is a long one,"

"Mystery novels? Fang Mi is a mystery novel written, Chenchen, are you planning to fight with him? Zhao Tang frowned.

"How about this Sunday? This Sunday, show me the detective novel you wrote. This is the biggest difference between Zhao Tang and Wang Ni, Zhao Tang's words are a negotiated tone, if it is Wang Ni, she will directly say this sentence in a commanding tone.

"Haode" Su Shichen nodded helplessly, in fact, when he said that his new book was a detective novel, Zhao Tang's attitude changed slightly.

It's as if it used to be a direct request for a manuscript, that is, it could be published in Yangcheng Daily after it was written, but now it is said that it will be shown to her on Sunday, which means that if it is not too haode, it cannot be published in Yangcheng Daily.

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhao Tangtang's attitude will change, detective novels are not written by anyone, and the author needs to have strong logical ability and knowledge as a backing.

Detective novels are all about logical ability, if there are loopholes here, where are there loopholes, then what's the point?

After all, he is only fourteen years old, and his opponent is a first-class writer and a man who has made a fortune writing detective novels.

However, he was still very confident that he would conquer Zhao Tangtang with a novel on this Sunday, so he didn't explain much.

Because the detective novel he is going to release this time is a short story in Conan Doyle's magnum opus, Sherlock Holmes.

On Earth, who is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of the profession of detective?

It's not Conan, it's not the top detective of the detective chair - it's Sherlock Holmes!

Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes has almost become synonymous with detectives, and "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" has become a must-read novel for detective fans.

You must know that the British royal family even granted Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character, a knighthood, and there is no need to repeat how much knighthood there is in Britain.

There is also the earth, Britain and the place where Sherlock Holmes lives, in the minds of the British, Sherlock Holmes is no longer a fictional character, but a real person living at 221B Baker Street, England.

Yes, "Sherlock Holmes" is so powerful, so let's not talk about Fang Mi, a first-class mystery novelist in China, even this Shijie's top mystery novelist can't write a novel that surpasses "Sherlock Holmes".

Art knows no borders, and mystery novels know no borders, but before that, I will give it to an expert for appraisal......

On the way home, Su Shichen prayed that he would never have a stomachache, because Zhao Tang's Western food was so good that he wouldn't go to Tang Lingyu's house next time he was killed.

Day by day, slowly passing, Su Shichen's time is very regular, going to school, going home from school to update "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" for ten thousand changes.

But now there is an additional task, and that is to write "Sherlock Holmes".

First choose a short story, "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" has a total of fifty-six short stories, he picked it in his mind for a long time, before he picked the first one, although this one is not the most exciting, but it is relatively rigorous.

Taking a step back, the whole book is actually very tight, otherwise it would not be so famous.

There is also a point of Su Shichen's selection of this short story, but it can lead to another novella "Four Signatures".

You must know that Conan Doyle's original "Scarlet Study" was stolen several times, and it was with "Four Signatures" that he became famous in one fell swoop.

The background of "Sherlock Holmes" is in the United Kingdom, and the protagonist is also British, and he has not discussed the problem of substitution, but "Sherlock Holmes", which is known as the pinnacle of mystery novels, cannot sink into the sea in another place, and gold will shine wherever it is.

As for his first physical book "The Legend of Wukong", after selling 12,000 copies on the first day, it was a little weak, but there were also sales of a few days in the next few days, and there was no problem with breaking 50,000 copies in the first week, which has to be said to be a great achievement for Su Shichen, a newcomer in the literary world.

However, no matter how much the book is sold, he will not get a penny, because "The Legend of Wukong" signed a buyout contract with Deyun Publishing House. It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but the average author is at most 5%-12% if he signs it.

Only a well-known author like Fang Mi can get more than 10%, and a newcomer like him, even if the quality of "The Legend of Wukong" is good, it is about 8% at most.

Just sell a book for 20 yuan, plus taxes, and in fact, he can get a piece by selling a book.

"The Legend of Wukong" sold 12,000 copies on the first day, which means that if you sign the layer, you can earn more than 10,000 yuan on the first day, which is twice the remuneration for buying out.

It feels like he has lost a lot, but the publishing house has to take a big risk, and if the book can't be sold, it's the publishing house that loses.

In addition, he was in a hurry to buy a computer in those days, so he signed the buyout directly.

Besides, he has countless works in his head, he doesn't care about a "Legend of Wukong", and now he is also a well-known genius writer, if the next book is to be published by Deyun Publishing House, it will definitely rise and the premium will definitely be signed, and the signing will definitely be more than 10% or even higher.

Therefore, on the whole, there is nothing to lose.

There are good things and bad things, and in the past few days, there have been articles about "The Legend of Wukong" that have been killed and trumpeted, and there are naturally some black "The Legend of Wukong".

No, Ma Jun took a few newspapers and found Su Shichen in a hurry, "These bricks are called beasts, and in order to make money, they have no conscience to write." ”

"In order to make money, some publishing houses are getting lower and lower, and the random graffiti works of the fourteen-year-old can only be published. -- Tianxia newspapers.

This one is quite euphemistic, without naming names, and the next one is more excessive.

"Fourteen-year-old genius writers are jokes, string to change famous books, bullshit! -- Special attention.

Anyway, many of these articles are criticizing him for stringing up famous books and so on.

He pursed his lips and smiled.

"Little Four, you can still laugh like this, these grandsons are all writing articles to smear you."

"If I don't laugh, am I crying? Besides, some people like and some people don't like a book, and they don't like it if they don't like it, and they smear me like this, and it also creates a lot of topics for "The Legend of Wukong", and I still want Xiexie people. After speaking, Su Shichen lowered his head and wrote "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection".

Although he said this, Ma Jun was still very dissatisfied, muttering, suddenly his eyes turned, and he asked curiously, "Little Si, could it be that you are writing a new book?" ”

"Well, a mystery novel that I recently conceived."

"Mystery novels, Xiaosi, you are getting better and better, maybe Xiaosi's movie will be put on the screen that day, and at that time, Xiaosi, you have to ask the director to arrange a role for me." Put it on the screen, it will.

The character of Sherlock Holmes has been put on the screen countless times, and this shijie will not be an exception, even if there are exceptions, when the money is enough, he shoots it himself as an investor.

"Woo~~" The phone vibrates.

"Hey, Auntie, I'm here, what's the matter?" Wang Ni on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, only the sound of breathing was heard. Su Shichen was a little anxious

"What's wrong with Auntie, are you sick again? I'll be right over. ”

"Auntie is fine, it's okay, but this time Auntie took advantage of Xiao Chen."

Previously, when Wang Ni signed the contract, the price was already very high for a newcomer, so Wang Ni said that she would not suffer a loss.

However, more than 10,000 copies were sold on the first day, and there is no problem with this trend of selling 50,000 copies a week.

"Aunt, why are you talking about this, signing fifty is already a very good treatment for me, a newcomer in the literary world, I am already very content, and without your uncle, I can't play this thousand-mile horse, speaking of which, I still need Aunt Xiexie."

"Come to my aunt's house tomorrow, and my aunt will cook a table of good dishes for you." After speaking, she didn't ask Su Shichen's opinion, so Wang Ni hung up the phone directly.

When I got home, I finished my homework and started my coding career.

After a few hours of hard work, I finally won.,Paste and send.,Three chapters and 10,000 words.,Look at the results.,It's still quite a bad new book in the same period.,Whether it's in the recommendation ticket or click, it's more than him.,There's no signing news in the author's mailbox.,The slow-burning work really can't afford to hurt.。

After school the next day, Su Shichen still went to Wang Ni's house on time, and had to ask for leave from home, but when he asked for leave, he was teased by his mother Wei Xin, who became more and more busy as a big writer, and he didn't eat dinner at home.

"Auntie, I'm here."

"The door, come in by yourself with it open, and my aunt is cooking." Sure enough, the security door was ajar, and it was the third time he had come to Wang Ni's house, so Su Shichen was more familiar with it.

He really wanted to see it, and his aunt put on an apron like a housewife's, so Su Shichen nodded his toes and sneaked in like a thief.
