Chapter 287 The Crucial "Sign of Four"!

Xiao Xiang Zhengtai is one of the most popular suspense and mystery writers in Yingzhou today. His style is "New orthodox reasoning".

There is no strict definition between new orthodox reasoning and orthodox reasoning. The more artistic way of saying it is to open up the imagination on the basis of orthodox reasoning.

To describe it more simply, orthodox reasoning is almost the fixed mode of "case-investigation", while the new orthodox school has become "case-investigation-incredible ending", which means that many whimsical elements are added in the middle.

Including the previous "White Night Walk" and "Suspect X's Devotion" can be included in this category.

However, a big flaw of this theme is that the author often spends too much energy on dazzling tricks.

The persistence in tricks is even greater than the persistence in the integrity of this novel, but Xiao Xiang Zhengtai has become the top mystery writer in Yingzhou because he has done very well in this aspect.

Before Lao Zei stepped into the field of reasoning, Xiao Xiang Zhengtai admired Lao Zei very much.

Xiao Xiang has read and highly praised the Harry Potter series of Lao Zei, including the later works To Live and Xu Sanguan.

But why did Xiao Xiang say such a thing? It was because he was jealous, and Lao Zei came to the field that Xiao Xiang was good at.

Just yesterday, the first part of Sherlock Holmes and Xiao Xiang's new work Black Death Sin were released at the same time. Not to mention the Kyushu market, even in the Yingzhou book market, the first part of Sherlock Holmes is better...

If it was not just the influence of Harry Potter, it would not be so, but Lin Qiu is also the original artist of popular anime works such as Demon Slayer and Clannad, which put Lao Zei in a "traffic" stage in Yingzhou.

From the ratings on the Book, Sherlock Holmes only has 1 point, not as good as the 5 points of Black Death Sin. Just now, Xiao Xiang finished reading A Study in Scarlet, which made Xiao Xiang even more angry.

"For such a mystery work, the sales volume is three times that of mine?!"

Xiao Xiangzhengtai's face turned green.

In his opinion, such a work can only get 7 points at most. The reason why it got 1 point is that the readers of Jiuzhou trust Lao Zei. After all, Lao Zei has experienced such lows and contempt countless times, but he turned around in the end.

But as a professional novelist, the field of mystery novels is really so easy to turn around, and mystery novelists all over the world will not rack their brains to think of tricks.

There is another point that makes Xiao Xiangzhengtai angry, that is, Lao Zei has a taste of "taking shortcuts". Although Lao Zei's character creation and emotional portrayal are as powerful as ever, such a work, at least, cannot convince Xiao Xiangzhengtai.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiangzhengtai immediately logged into his online account and posted a very controversial sentence, which was on the local hot search for Xia and Ying for two weeks:

["A Study in Scarlet" is disappointing. 】

Such a sentence immediately ignited many readers' debates!

[That's right! "A Study in Scarlet" is a work that is not so exciting, and people are not allowed to say it! ]

[What Zheng Taijun said is right, "Black Death Sin" is an amazing work! ]

[Sour! Too sour! ]

[How can this be called sour? This is a normal discussion of works. You can see from the ratings of Book that Xiao Xiangjun is telling the truth. ]

[The fans of Lao Zei's book said there is nothing wrong, but I believe that the reputation of Lao Zei's subsequent works will definitely turn around, just like "Clannad"! ]

…

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Where there are quarrels, there is heat!

Especially this kind of communication between the top authors of the two states. You know, Lao Zei is the pride of all readers in Xiazhou. When he encountered some attacks, Lao Zei's fans immediately fought back!

There is nothing wrong with discussing the matter, but because Lao Zei created a work that is not so "god", he has to be "torn apart" by hand.

No creator can resist such harsh requirements, right?

The current traffic of Lao Zei is destined to attract a lot of attention. Coupled with the quarrel between readers in the two states, the popularity has soared, and the direct reaction is that the sales of "Sherlock Holmes" have increased significantly.

The only thing that comforts the fans of Lao Zei in Xiazhou is that the suspense and reasoning fans in Jiuzhou are almost all for "Sherlock Holmes"!

They are really not interested in the new orthodox reasoning in Yingzhou, and the most original reasoning works such as "Sherlock Holmes" are the most interesting!

It depends on whether the second part "The Sign of Four" can meet the expectations of the audience.

If "The Sign of Four" is still tepid, it can be said that the quality of the entire "Sherlock Holmes" will be questioned.

"The Sign of Four" tells a tragedy caused by the fight for treasures.

This is also the book that made Conan Doyle really famous in the previous life and made the image of Sherlock Holmes really spread throughout the UK.

...

Xizhou.

Donald, Ridge, Lin Qiu and a blonde girl sat at the same table. Facing these three "big guys" who have a great influence worldwide, the girl from Xizhou was not at all timid, she was chatting and laughing, and seemed quite mature.

This is the feeling Lin Qiu wants, because the girl in "Leon: The Professional" is stubborn, willful, independent, and mature beyond her age.

Age, only twelve years old.

It has to be said that when a girl from Xizhou is twelve years old, she is really extremely perfect.

Emily is only thirteen years old, but she has beautiful blonde hair that sets off an extremely delicate face. From the first time Lin Qiu saw Emily, Lin Qiu almost decided on this role.

There is no way, being good-looking is indeed an innate advantage...

As for acting experience, it is good to come for an audition, not to mention that even in the previous life, Natalie Portman did not have much acting experience before playing this role, but still created a classic role that will remain in film history.

"It's okay, Emily, I will guide you more on the set."

Donald's own personality is not similar to the killer Leon in the film, but Lin Qiu has no doubt that this Xizhou actor who is first-class in the Jiuzhou film market will present a "Leon" with his own unique flavor.

"Thank you!"

"Mr. Donald."

Emily stuck out her tongue at Donald and blinked her eyes, which was quite seductive, making Donald a little embarrassed.

"Hahahahaha——"

Seeing this scene, Li Jie laughed very happily, patting Lin Qiu's shoulder and laughing!

Obviously Emily had some taste of getting into the role in advance.

Regarding the plot of this movie, Li Jie has not read the movie script, but he roughly knows that as a good friend of Lin Qiu and Chen Daohua, Li Jie is also looking forward to what kind of work Lin Qiu will present after "Hope".

You must know that in this movie, Emily, as a girl, likes the killer Leon.

This kind of plot can only be realized in the background of Xizhou.

It's not about how Xiazhou is. First, the twelve-year-old girl in Xiazhou is not as mature as that in Xizhou. She is still in school...

Second, Xiazhou has no stories about "killers" at all. Only Xizhou has them. The social environment is different.

Some movie backgrounds that cannot be changed by force, Lin Qiu naturally does not plan to change them by force.
