Chapter 16 The Speculative Fiction of a Fourteen-Year-Old Writer
There are three days left for Yangcheng Daily to revise the version...
"Editor in chief, I heard that Yangcheng Daily has opened up a novel section like us." Editor in the Zaotan Daily.
"Drawing a tiger but not becoming a dog. It takes a first-class writer to open a novel sector. Otherwise, the revision of the section will be a joke, so the president and I invited Fang Mi to publish a new work "The Green Coffin" in our newspapers."
Li Wenxue, editor-in-chief of Zaotan News, smiled, "I have investigated it a long time ago. Recently, there are no first-class novelists in the industry who want to open new books, nor are there first-class novelists who want to change jobs. There are many second-class novelists who want to open new books, but they can't stop at all. I want to see who's novels published in the Yangcheng Daily novel section."
Two days before the Yangcheng Daily revision was revised, and today's Yangcheng Daily's main page finally published news about the adaptation-
"According to the questionnaire returned by the majority of subscribers, the content management department of Yangcheng Daily decided to reprint it. This revision will add a novel section to publish a very interesting novel. As a welfare editor, I secretly reveal the name of the novel "Shelmes Detective Collection". I believe that everyone can know the type of novel by reading the name. Please pay attention to tomorrow's Yangcheng Daily for details."
The Sherlock Holmes's Detective Collection is divided into several fonts.
"Haha, I heard that this revision was proposed by Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhao Dandan, and it was also completed by one hand. I didn't expect that Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhao Dandan also made a mistake."
"Fangmi's mystery novel "The Green Coffin" has been serialized for nearly half. It is the climax and the plot turns wonderfully. The readers' nature is very high. At this time, they even released a novel of the same type. Unless the author is the top mystery novelists, don't want to leave readers from our early talk newspaper." Li Wenxue's eyes were ridiculous, just like watching the show, and wanted to see Zhao Dandan's tricks.
On the last day of revision, the most important page of the entire Yangcheng Daily was given to "Shelf's Detective Collection".
"Everyone has two emotions, one is rational and the other is emotion. When emotions overpower reason, people will become impulsive. For example, when they are angry, they will do something difficult to control. This is what we call emotionality. Therefore, it is best for a person to coexist with reason and emotion."
"The protagonist in our story is a person who is rational and suppresses emotions in all the time. He can always stage calm and meticulous inferences. The protagonist in "Shellogue's Detective Collection" is as calm as a robot to solve cases one by one. Please follow Sherlock Holmes's footsteps to solve cases step by step."
The introduction of this story was thought by Su Shichen himself. He is not allowed to write online novels in newspapers. The introduction of online novels can be as domineering as you think. The protagonist can be so arrogant. This is also the reason why an online novel is looked down upon by traditional literature. YY must be a bit too much.
This is not possible to publish in newspapers and magazines, because the consumer group of online novels and the consumer group of newspapers and magazines are completely relativistic.
Can you imagine a Youth who loves online literature ordering newspapers?
Besides, people who like to read newspapers will sit in front of the computer or read online novels with their mobile phones every day?
There are very few people who like to read online novels, so they cannot use the online sales set to newspapers.
The introduction that Su Shichen thought was tailored by the consumer groups of newspapers and magazines. Think about the main people who can order newspapers and magazines, which can be roughly divided into two categories: retired and working. Needless to say, retired people are retired. Most of the people who are retired are the elderly and do not care whether the novel is published in newspapers and magazines, and whether the novel is good or not, so the main focus is on the people who are working.
This type of people generally have certain cultural literacy and care about facts. This type of people have a certain ability to appreciate literary works. When they read novels, they do not want to learn from novels or gain experience.
Therefore, Zaotanbao chose a first-class mystery novelist to publish mystery novels in newspapers and magazines, which would be of such a useful effect on sales. It even allowed Zaotanbao to leave Yangcheng and radiate several surrounding cities. This is the reason. The knowledge and logic contained in mystery novels are completely in line with the appetite of this type of consumer group, which is why he chose mystery novels.
No matter what profession or identity it is, people cannot be absolutely rational. However, Su Shichen is absolutely calm like a robot as a selling point. Can't he attract attention?
In fact, the protagonist Sherlock Holmes in "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" is indeed a person who is very calm all the time.
No matter what kind of case you encounter or what kind of critical situation you encounter, you can keep your brain calm, and it can even be said that you are so calm that you don’t look like Earthlings. This may be one of the reasons why Sherlock Holmes became an eternal idol in the hearts of detective fans.
"The author of "The Legend of Wukong", the genius writer Su Shichen's passionate work, "The Red-Haired Society of Sherlock Holmes's Detective Collection", will create another detective peak for you!"
Below the newspapers, all the information about Su Shichen—
Author: Su Shichen
Birthday: February 3, 1998
Zodiac sign: Aquarius
Representative works: "The Legend of Wukong", "Hey - Come Out"
He studied in Class 20, Grade 20 of Experimental Junior High School, and has demonstrated unparalleled writing skills since he was a child. In the second volume of the second volume of junior high school, he wrote a science fiction mini novel "Hey - Come Out" which was rated as one of the best environmental protection articles of the year by a related magazine. It was because of this article that Su Shichen had first appeared in the newspaper.
The first book "The Biography of Wukong" was published by Deyun Publishing House. It became famous and sold 100,000 copies in half a month. It is currently being sold in hot spots.
Then, some famous novel critics were published below.
"The Red-Haired Society of Sherlock Holmes" is a mystery novel with very powerful logic and is worth reading. - critic Jin Dori.
"The Red-Haired Society of Sherlock Holmes" If you don't look at the author, you will never think of this novel by a fourteen-year-old author. - critic Ai Ruo
[Zhao Dandan, deputy editor-in-chief of Yangcheng Daily, strongly recommended by detective fans]
There are still dozens of famous artists who recommend it.
This author's information is a bit terrible, and the only ones that can be used are "The Legend of Wukong" and "Hey" and the latter is just a miniature novel with less than 5,000 words.
In fact, "The Legend of the Immortal Cultivation of Immortals" has more than 200,000 words, but the achievements of "The Legend of the Immortals" are indeed unsuccessful. The slow-popular novels are really unbearable, so Su Shichen did not mention them.
As for showing unparalleled writing skills since childhood, or even Su Shichen himself doesn't know about this ability, how do people from Yangcheng Daily know about it?
A hundred thousand copies sold in more than half a month, of which 12,000 copies were sold on the first day, more than 53,000 copies were sold in the first week, and about 100,000 copies were sold in more than half a month and about twenty days!
This result is not bad for novices, but it can also be seen that the market is slowly weakening. You can have such strong sales in the first week and buy it with a large degree of friendship. It is like Ma Jun bought six books by himself, but it is not so powerful next time.
When Yangcheng Daily announced the author's name, it caused a great sensation. In Yangcheng, Su Shichen was already a little famous, and the heat of "The Legend of Wukong" had not yet passed, but news came out that a new novel was published on Yangcheng Daily, one of the largest newspapers in Yangcheng. The most important new novel is a mystery novel.
This news has played a great reputation for Su Shichen. At the same time, Su Shichen has also become an idol of many students who have dreams of literature but have no way out.
Even if you are free to find a first-class writer or even a top writer, you can publish books like Su Shichen when you are fourteen years old and have serialized novels in newspapers and magazines.
Besides, the sales of physical books are pretty good, and the newspaper industry that serializes new books is not the kind of third-rate newspapers.
If Su Shichen was considered a little famous before, then this behavior successfully made Su Shichen famous. The originally weak sales of "The Legend of Wukong" actually broke out in the storm. Today, "The Legend of Wukong" sold more than the first day's sales, with more than 18,000 copies, close to 20,000 copies.
According to the current trend, we can also make a rush to the first month's sales of 150,000 copies.
Of course, there are two main reasons why this grand occasion will be achieved. The crowd of people who were originally wavering about whether to buy or not were completely tilted after this storm. There are also many people who see how genius this fourteen-year-old Su Shichen is. These two reasons have made the "The Legend of Wukong" sell nearly 20,000 copies a day.
This storm can be said to be of all advantages and disadvantages to Su Shichen, but it is not the case for Yangcheng Daily.
"Renovation News" - [Yangcheng Daily revised, adding a novel section. I want to create greater popularity, but I can't bear to emerge. Su Shichen is the best genius, and it is undeniable that a newspaper can't stand it alone by relying on a 14-year-old genius author to take the lead. Yangcheng Daily's revision is about to fail.]
"Independent Issues" - [It is undoubtedly a fantasy to think that the version was successfully revised with a fourteen-year-old author. This failure will definitely let Yangcheng Daily and a talented writer know two things.
It's not so easy to revise it.
Secondly, mystery novels are not something that anyone can write. From "The Legend of Wukong", the writing style is enough, but in addition to writing style, mystery novels also have the accumulation of life.]
There are countless newspapers and magazines like this. For a moment, the failure of Yangcheng Daily's revision and the failure of Su Shichen's novels seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Zhao Dandan and Su Shichen, who led this revision, were also pushed to the forefront.
"Editor-in-chief Zhao Dandan actually made an appointment with a fourteen-year-old student. Even if this student is a famous genius novelist in Yangcheng, he is just a little kid in the final analysis. This time, Yangcheng Daily lost." The editor of "Zhao Tan News" pouted, with disdain in his tone.
"Su Shichen is indeed a genius novelist. He wrote "The Biography of Wukong" at the age of fourteen. He wrote novels in prose. He did not say anything about writing style, but as the Independent Journal said, writing mystery novels not only requires writing style, but also the accumulation of life experience." Li Wenxue.
"Do you want it? Is it a big shot?" Editor.
"No need now. If Zhao Dandan and Su Shichen succeed tomorrow, the newspaper will be slapped in the face. Although this situation is almost impossible, it is better to be safer. After the article of Yangcheng Daily tomorrow is published, our newspaper will publish another article that will be concluded."
Chapter completed!
