Yangcheng Evening News will be revamped in three days...
"Chief Editor of Zao Tan Bao Newspaper: I heard that Yang Cheng Daily has also set up a similar section like us." said the editor of Zao Tan Bao.
"Its hard to draw a tiger, but easy to paint a dog. To launch a new section, we need a top-notch writer to take the lead, otherwise it would be a joke. Thats why our boss and I spent a lot of money to invite Fang Mi to publish his new work "Green Coffin" in our newspaper."
Zao Tan Bao editor-in-chief Li Wenxue smiled and said, "Ive already investigated, recently there arent any first-rate writers opening new books or jumping ship. There are many second-rate writers who want to jump ship or open new books, but they cant hold the scene down. Id like to see whose article will be published on Yangcheng Evening News."
Yancheng Daily will be revamped in two days. Todays Yancheng Daily finally carried a report on the revamp on its front page ——
"Based on the feedback from our subscribers, the content management department of Yangcheng Evening News has decided to make some changes. This time, we will add a new section, which will feature a very interesting book, and as a little surprise, Ill let you know that its title is The Sherlock Holmes Collection. Im sure you can guess what type it is just by the name. For more details, please stay tuned for tomorrows Yangcheng Evening News."
The words "Sherlock Holmes Detective Stories" stood out on the newspaper.
"Haha, I heard that this revision was proposed by Deputy Editor Zhao Dandan and also completed by her personally. I didnt expect Deputy Editor Zhao to have a moment of confusion too."
"Fang Mis Green Coffin has been serialized for nearly half, and its just the right time for the climax to unfold, with plot twists and turns that are truly exciting. Readers are extremely enthusiastic, but at this moment, a new book of the same genre is released. Unless the author is one of the top-notch mystery writers, dont think about taking readers away from our newspaper." Li Wenxues eyes were filled with mockery, watching to see how Zhao Dandan would react.
On the eve of the final day of the revision, the entire front page of Yangcheng Evening News was given to "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes".
"Everyone has two emotions, one is rational and the other is emotional. When emotion overwhelms reason, people become impulsive, for example, when angry, they will do some uncontrollable things, this is what we call emotionalization. Therefore, its best for a person to coexist with both reason and emotion."
"And the protagonist in our story is a rational person who suppresses emotions at all times, reasoning calmly and meticulously at every moment. The protagonist Sherlock Holmes in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes has a mind as calm as a robot, solving case after case. Lets follow in Holmes footsteps to solve the cases step by step."
This story intro is what Su Xianchen thought of himself, published in newspapers and magazines, not to be written on the internet. The internets intro can be as overbearing as you want it to be, the protagonist can be as arrogant as he wants, this is also why online literature has always been looked down upon by traditional literature, having too much fantasy.
It cant be published in newspapers because the consumer groups of the internet and newspapers are completely relative.
Can you imagine a young person who likes online literature subscribing to a newspaper?
Then people who like reading newspapers will sit in front of their computers or hold their mobile phones to read online every day.
Few people both surf the Internet and enjoy reading newspapers, so its impossible to apply the rules of the web to print media.
While Su Release thought of this profile is tailored to the consumer population of newspapers, thinking about who will subscribe to newspapers are mainly two types of retired and working people, retired people do not need to say, retired people are mostly elderly people who also do not care about whether the newspaper is published or not, so the main focus is on the working class.
Generally speaking, this type of person has a certain level of cultural accomplishment and cares about facts. They have a certain ability to appreciate literary works, and when they read, it is no longer just for leisure and entertainment, but rather to learn something or gain insight.
So the Morning Post chose a first-rate reasoner to publish reasoning in the newspaper, which would have an effect on sales, and even let the Morning Post go out of Yang City and radiate several surrounding cities. The knowledge and logical degree contained in the reasoning completely conform to the taste of this type of consumer group, which is also why he chose reasoning.
No matter what profession or identity a person has, it is impossible to be absolutely rational. Su Rui Chen uses this as a selling point, being absolutely calm like a robot, cant this attract attention?
In fact, the protagonist Sherlock Holmes in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is indeed a very calm person at all times.
No matter what kind of case it is, or no matter what kind of emergency situation it is, he can keep his brain calm, and even say that he is calm to the point where he doesnt seem like an earthling. This may also be one of the reasons why Sherlock Holmes becomes the eternal idol in the hearts of detective fans.
"Author of The Legend of Wukong, genius writer Su Xichens masterpiece, The Red-Haired League of the Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection, creates another peak for you to shape another detective!"
Below is all the information about Su Rui Chen:
Author: Su Shicheng
Birthday: February 3, 1998
Aquarius
Representative works: "Journey to the West", "Feed - Come out"
Studying in Experimental Junior High School Class 20, he showed unparalleled writing ability from an early age. When reading the second semester of junior high school, a science fiction micro-novel "Feed - Come Out" was written and evaluated by relevant magazines as one of the best environmental articles of the year. It was also because of this article that Su Shichen saw his name in print for the first time.
Later, Deyun Publishing House published the first book "Wukong Biography", which became a bestseller and sold 1 million copies in just half a month. It is still selling well now.
The following is an evaluation by some famous critics.
"The Red-Headed League" is a story with very strong logical reasoning, worth reading. —— Commentator Jindou Ri.
"The Red-Haired League from The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is so well-written that you would never guess it was written by a 14-year-old author. —— Critic Ai Ruo
Yancheng Daily Deputy Editor-in-Chief Zhao Han highly recommends, a must-see for detective enthusiasts.
Still has dozens of famous artists recommended.
This authors works are somewhat mediocre, and the only notable ones are "Journey to the West" and "Feed - Come Out", with the latter being just a micro-novel of less than 5,000 words.
Actually, "Ordinary Persons Cultivation Story" has over 2 million words too, but the results of "Ordinary Persons Cultivation Story" are indeed not impressive, and being slow to heat up is really unbearable, so Su Release Morning didnt even mention it.
As for showing unparalleled writing ability since childhood, or whether Su Rui Chen himself knew of this ability, how did the Yangcheng Evening News know?
Over 100,000 copies were sold in just over half a month, with 12,000 copies sold on the first day, more than 53,000 copies sold in the first week, and nearly 100,000 copies sold in about 20 days!
These results are not bad for a newcomer, but it can also be seen that the market is slowly weakening. The first week had such strong sales, with a large degree of friendly purchases, just like Ma Jun buying six copies alone, and it wont be as fierce afterwards.
When Yangcheng Evening News announced the authors name, it caused a great stir. In Yangcheng, Su Rensheng was already somewhat famous, and the heat of "The Legend of Wukong" had not yet dissipated, but news came out again, published in Yangcheng Daily, one of the largest newspapers in Yangcheng, with the most important being reasoning.
This news brought Su Ximeng a great reputation, and Su Ximeng also became an idol for many students who had dreams of literature but had no way out.
Even if you casually find a first-rate writer, or even a top-notch writer, who can be like Su Shi at the age of 14, publishing books and serializing in newspapers.
Moreover, the sales of physical books are not bad, and the newspaper industry that serializes new books is not a third-rate newspaper.
Previously, Su Rixiao was somewhat famous, but this times behavior successfully made Su Rixiao a big shot. The originally sluggish sales of "Journey to the West" unexpectedly exploded again in this storm, selling over 18,000 copies today, close to 20,000 copies, exceeding the first days sales.
At this rate, its still possible to sell 1.5 million copies in the first month.
There are two main reasons for this phenomenon. "Journey to the West" was already selling well, and people who were hesitant about buying it before the storm completely changed their minds after the incident. Additionally, many people wanted to see how talented 14-year-old Su Ruo Chen really is. These two reasons led to "Journey to the West" selling nearly 20,000 copies in one day.
This storm can be said to have brought nothing but benefits for Su Ziyue, but its a different story for Yangcheng Evening News.
"Revolution News" —— [Yangcheng Daily has been revamped, adding new sections, wanting to create a bigger sensation, but is unwilling to pay the price. Su Rui Chen is undoubtedly a talented author, but its clear that a newspaper cant rely solely on a 14-year-old genius to carry the load. The revamp of Yangcheng Daily is doomed to fail.]
"Independence Edition" —— [Thinking that it can be successfully revised solely relying on a 14-year-old author is undoubtedly a fantasy, this failure will surely make Yangcheng Evening News and that genius writer understand two things.
Its not easy to make changes like this.
Secondly, reasoning is not something that anyone can write about. From "Journey to the West" we can see that the writing style is good enough, but for reasoning, apart from writing style, theres also the accumulation of life experiences.
There are countless reports like this, and for a time, the failure of Yangcheng Evening News revamp and Su Zhis failure seemed to be a foregone conclusion. Zhao Dandan and Su Zhi, who led this revamp, were also pushed to the forefront of public opinion.
"Chief Editor Zhao actually went to ask a 14-year-old student for an article, even if this student is Yangchengs famous genius, after all, hes just a little kid. This time Yangcheng Daily has lost for sure." The editor of Morning Talk Newspaper curled his lips in disdain, with a tone full of scorn.
"Su Renshan is indeed a genius, writing The Monkey King at the age of 14 using prose methods. In terms of writing style, theres nothing to say, but as Independent Magazine said, writing detective stories requires not only writing skills, but also accumulation of life experience." - Li Wenxue
"Should the editor-in-chief join in too?"
"Its not necessary now, if Zhao Dandan and Su Xincheng succeed tomorrow, the newspaper will be slapped in the face. Although this situation is almost impossible to happen, its still better to be safe than sorry. After the article of Yangcheng Daily is published tomorrow, our newspaper will publish an article that nails the coffin."
The next day...
