Reborn great writer

Chapter 13 Speculative Fiction

Su Shichen doesn't think he is a first-rate writer anymore. Although for some reason, his popularity in Yangcheng can be compared with that of a first-rate writer for the time being, the influence of a first-rate writer is not limited to one or two cities, but covers the whole country.

If classified according to games, first-class writers are nationally famous, while Su Shichen is only city-level famous.Of course, there are also international writers standing at the top of the pyramid, these are still too far behind for Su Shichen now.

"Chenchen, promise to sister Zhao, okay~" Su Shichen was thinking about it, and suddenly heard Zhao Dandan's coquettish voice, it was indeed a coquettish ending that dragged on for a long time, which gave him goosebumps instantly.

I don't know when, Zhao Dandan sat beside him, grabbed his hand with both hands, and then squeezed his elbow with the nuke Tongyan's breast, it was so soft and comfortable , but now Tang Lingyu is staring straight at her, sweating like sitting on wax!

Miss Zhao!You are the deputy editor of the newspaper!You are a young woman, not a loli, this kind of loli-style acting like a baby is not suitable for you at all! !

"Okay, I will naturally agree to Sister Zhao's request for a manuscript. It just so happens that I also wrote a novel recently."

"Oh?" Zhao Dandan immediately put on a serious and businesslike face, as if it wasn't her who was holding Su Shichen's hand and acting like a spoiled child.

"What novel? Tell Sister Zhao about it."

"Well, it can be said to be a series. This series includes many novels, novels and short stories. I have written several short stories so far."

"Oh?" Zhao Dandan opened her mouth wide and looked cute, while Tang Lingyu kept a cold face, it was a bit like their mother and daughter had their identities reversed.

"It's a story about a detective named Sherlock Holmes who solves a case. There are long and short cases, so there are long stories and short stories,"

"Mystery novels? Fang Mi wrote mystery novels, Chenchen, are you planning to fight him?" Zhao Dandan frowned.

"How about this Sunday? Can you show me the detective novel you wrote Chenchen this Sunday?" This is the biggest difference between Zhao Dandan and Wang Ni. Zhao Dandan's words were in a negotiating tone. Say this sentence in an imperative tone.

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

It's as if the manuscript was directly invited, that is, it can be published on the Yangcheng Daily after it is written, but now it is said to show her on Sunday, which means that if it is not too good, it cannot be published on the Yangcheng Daily.

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhao Dandan's attitude will change. Not everyone can write a detective novel, and the author needs to have strong logical ability and knowledge as the backing.

Detective novels focus on logical ability. If there are loopholes here and there, what's the point?

After all, he is only 14 years old, and his opponent is Fang Mi, a top-notch writer who made his fortune writing detective novels. The knowledge accumulation and gap between the two can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

However, he was still very confident that he would use the novel to conquer Zhao Dandan 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 masterpiece "The Detective Cases of Sherlock Holmes".

Speaking of the profession of detective on the earth, who is the first thing people think of?

It's not Conan, it's not some kind of Detective Chair, and it's Sherlock Holmes!

Sherlock Holmes written by Conan Doyle has almost become synonymous with detectives, and "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" has become a must-read novel for detective fans. On Earth, "Sherlock Holmes" has been put on the big screen for countless times. TV series about Sherlock Holmes It is also a lot.

You must know that the British royal family even awarded the fictional character Sherlock Holmes a knighthood. It is not necessary to repeat how difficult it is to obtain a British knighthood.

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

Yes, "The Collected Cases of Sherlock Holmes" is so powerful, so not to mention Fang Mi, a first-class mystery novelist in China, even the world's top mystery novelist cannot write a novel that surpasses "The Collected Cases of Sherlock Holmes" novel.

Art knows no borders, and mystery novels know no borders, but before that, let an expert appraise it...

On the way home, Su Shichen prayed that he would not have a stomachache, because Zhao Dandan's western food was too good, and he would not go to Tang Lingyu's house next time if he killed him.

Day by day, slowly passing by, Su Shichen's time is very regular, going to school, returning home after school to update "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" continuously.

But now there is one more task, which is to write "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes".

First, choose a short story. There are 56 short stories in the whole book "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes". He spent a long time choosing in his mind before choosing the first one. Although this one is not the most exciting, it is more rigorous.

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

Another point is that this short story selected by Su Shichen can lead to another novella "Four Signatures".

You must know that Conan Doyle's original "Study in Scarlet" was rejected several times, but he became famous in one fell swoop with "The Sign of Four".

The background of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" is in the UK, and the protagonist is also British. It is not that he has not discussed the issue of the sense of substitution, but "The Collection of Cases of Sherlock Holmes", known as the pinnacle of mystery novels, cannot be replaced by another place. , is that gold will shine no matter where it is.

As for his first physical book "Wukong Biography", after selling [-] copies on the first day, it was a bit weak, but there were thousands of copies sold in the next few days, breaking [-] copies in the first week was No problem, this is a remarkable achievement for Su Shichen, a rookie in the literary world.

However, no matter how many books are sold, he will not get a penny, because "Wukong Biography" signed a buyout contract with Deyun Publishing House.It's not that he hasn't thought about this problem, but the average author's share of the signing is 5% - 12%.

Only well-known authors, such as first-class authors like Fang Mi, can get more than 10%. For a newcomer like him, even if the quality of "Wukong Biography" is good, it can get up to about 8%.

Take the retail price of a book, plus tax, in fact, he can get one yuan for selling a book.

"Wukong Biography" sold 1 copies on the first day, which means that if you sign the book, you can earn more than 1 yuan on the first day, which is twice the buyout payment.

It feels like he has lost a lot, but the publishing house has to bear a huge risk. If the book cannot be sold, it is the publishing house that will lose.

In addition, he was in a hurry to buy a computer in those few days, so he just signed and bought it out.

Besides, he has countless works in his mind, and he doesn't care about "The Legend of Wukong", and now he can be regarded as a somewhat famous genius writer. It is absolutely possible to sign in more than 10% or even higher.

So overall there is nothing to lose.

There are good things and there are bad things. In addition to the articles promoting "Wukong Biography" these days, there are naturally some articles that blacken "Wukong Biography".

No, Ma Jun took a few newspapers and found Su Shichen anxiously, "These bricks are called beasts, and they write nonsense without conscience in order to make money."

"In order to make money, some publishing houses have lower and lower levels of publishing, and 14-year-old graffiti can be published. "——Tianxia Newspapers.

This one is more euphemistic, without naming names, and the next article is more exaggerated.

"14-Year-Old Genius Writer is a joke, tampering with classics is nonsense! "--Special attention.

Anyway, many of these articles criticize him for tampering with famous works and so on.

He pursed his lips and smiled.

"Xiao Si, how can you still laugh, these grandchildren are writing articles to discredit you."

"Aren't you laughing? Am I crying? Besides, some people like a book and some don't like it. If they don't like it, they don't like it. Besides, they smeared me like this and created a lot of topics for "Wukong Biography". I also want to thank these people. After finishing speaking, Su Shichen lowered his head and wrote "The Collection of Detective Sherlock Holmes".

Even though he said this, Ma Jun was still very dissatisfied, muttering, suddenly turned his eyes, and asked curiously, "Xiaosi, is it possible that you are writing some new book?"

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

"Mystery novels, Xiaosi, you are getting better and better. Maybe one day, Xiaosi, your novel will be put on the screen. At that time, Xiaosi, you should ask the director to arrange a role for me." On the screen, Will.

The character of Sherlock Holmes has been portrayed countless times on the screen, and there are no exceptions in this world. Even if there are exceptions, when the money is enough, he will act as an investor and shoot himself.

"Woo~~" The phone vibrated.

"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

"Auntie, what's the matter? Are you sick again? I'll come over right away."

"Auntie is fine, it's all right, but this time Auntie took advantage of you, Xiaochen."

When Wang Ni signed the contract before, the price was fifty thousand words, which was already very high for a newcomer, so Wang Ni said that he would not let him suffer.

However, more than 1 copies were sold on the first day. There is no problem with this trend of selling [-] copies a week. Shichen's cheap.

"Auntie, why are you talking about this? Fifty thousand words is a very good salary for me, a rookie in the literary world. I am already very content, and without you, my Bole, I can't perform well as a thousand-mile horse. Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Auntie.”

"Come to my aunt's house tomorrow, and my aunt will cook a table of delicious food for you." After speaking, Wang Ni hung up the phone without asking Su Shichen's opinion.

Go home, finish your homework and start your coding career.

After several hours of hard work, I finally won. Paste and send, three chapters and [-] words, and the results are still quite poor.

The new books in the same period have surpassed him by a lot, both in terms of recommendation votes and clicks, and there is no sign signing news in the author's mailbox.

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

"Auntie, I'm here."

"Come in by yourself with the door open. Auntie is cooking." Sure enough, the anti-theft door was ajar. This is the third time I have come to Wang Ni's house, so Su Shichen is more familiar with it.

He wanted to see it very much. Auntie put on an apron and looked like a housewife, so Su Shichen tiptoed and sneaked in like a thief.
