Chapter 23 Cant Write a Medium-Length Story

  "Duli Kan" and "Zao Tan Bao" suffered a great loss, but its hard to express the bitterness. The reputation of plagiarizing "Sherlock Holmes" cant be pinned on Su Xilu no matter what.

  Is there something wrong with your writing?

  Someone elses casual article can be selected into the Peoples Education Press textbook, which is something that many top authors cannot do. Is there still a problem with this kind of writing? Moreover, they dare not jump out to slap the Ministry of Education in the face, so they can only suffer in silence.

  The reasoning of a genius writer is simply not convincing! The author of this article is Liu Huan, a special columnist for Independent Magazine.

  Deduction requires extremely strong logic, which is quite good in the two short stories "Red Hair Club" and "Blue Sapphire Case". However, those are just short stories. Overseas aside, domestically Ive never heard of a deduction author becoming famous by only writing short stories, so why doesnt Su Xianchen write medium-length or even long novels?

  The reason is actually very simple, he himself explained it at the press conference, because for now he cant control the medium or long articles, many people say that they cant control it, Su Rui Chens first book "Wukong Biography" is not a medium article, but this story has a template, so dont worry about losing control.

  Su Rei writes detective fiction because, as he himself says, he has trouble controlling the plot. The reason he writes detective fiction is that it allows him to write one case at a time, which is equivalent to writing short stories all the time. This is also why the Yangcheng Evening News published a series of short stories by him, but no medium or long-length works.

  Relying solely on short pieces will not accumulate into an excellent reasoning work, and ultimately fall into second-rate, the reasoning of a genius writer is simply not in the running!

  "This Liu Jian is really a lingering ghost" He took out his phone and dialed Zhao Dandans number.

  "Hey, have you seen Zhao Jies report on Liu Jian in that Independent Magazine?"

  "Watching"

  "Did Independent Magazine publish an apology today?"

  "Its been posted, and Liu Huan is still writing" That Liu Huan really has no shame, he just published an apology letter a moment ago, and now hes already sending messages to blacken him, its really relentless.

  "Should we change our plan and release Four Signatures first to shut Liu Jians mouth?" asked Zhao Dan.

  "No need, lets continue with the original plan, no need to change our deployment for a clown." Su Xichen thought for a moment and shook his head.

  Indeed, releasing the novella "The Sign of Four" now can be a blow to Liu Cixins mouth, but without prior accumulation of popularity, the number of readers will greatly decrease. It is known that "The Sign of Four" is Conan Doyles masterpiece, so it must be well-operated. Therefore, in order to let this novella show its greatest potential, it is best to follow the original plan.

  "Wow, our Morning is really confident, Zhao likes confident boys the most." Zhao Dan emphasized the word "boys".

  "Thats all, I still have to write a draft."

  "Wait a minute, Chenchen you still owe Zhao Jie a meal, didnt you forget?"

  "Of course I havent forgotten, next time, next time... thats all, still have a manuscript to write." After finishing speaking, he directly hung up the phone.

  The Red-Haired League on the first day, The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle on the second day, and The Adventure of the Green Emerald Crown on the third day.

  Jiang Yu was a high school student with mediocre grades, but he loved reading and would read anything, whether it was online or classic literature. He could always find something interesting to read, which earned him the nickname "bookworm" in his class. Many of his classmates looked up to him for book recommendations, and this was something he took great pride in.

  Two days ago, he inadvertently saw "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" published in Yangcheng Evening News and was immediately amazed by the work. He read it every day, and after finishing reading each time, he couldnt help but feel unsatisfied, so he called the newspaper to urge for more installments.

  It wasnt until yesterday that he learned such a brilliant work was written by a 14-year-old junior high school student. When he heard the news, he even patted his own head to see if he was dreaming, it was just too unbelievable.

  However, after watching the news last night, I learned that a middle school student named Su Shichen had published a novella called "The Legend of Wukong" before writing his reasoning article. This is even more amazing! But whats even more surprising is yet to come. An article written by Su Shichen, titled "Come Out", was actually selected as a textbook for the Peoples Education Edition Chinese language textbook. Jiang Yu was thoroughly amazed and thus made Su Shichen his lifelong idol.

  Although Su Release Morning is younger than him, it does not affect the degree of worship at all. He had bought back the latest Yangcheng Evening News early in the morning and turned to the board, this action was like a person in the desert who yearned for water.

  "Yam is still reading that plagiarists work, really no class."

  "What plagiarism writer, Yang Guo you didnt read yesterdays newspaper, it has been clarified, confirmed that Sherlock Holmes was written by the author himself and not plagiarized."

  Yang Guos arch-nemesis, also liked to read. Generally speaking, two people with the same interests easily become sworn brothers. However, although he and Yang Guo had the same interests, their tastes were completely different, and what they liked was diametrically opposed. For example, this time he liked "The Sherlock Holmes Collection" written by Su Shi, but Yang Guo liked "Green Coffin".

  "Its not plagiarism or what, look at todays news, a genius authors reasoning cant become popular."

  "Where?" Jiang Yu snatched the newspaper from Yang Guos hand, and the headline of "Independent Edition" read: "The reasoning of a genius writer is not even up to par!"

  Deduction requires extremely strong logical thinking, as can be seen from the two short stories "Red Hair Club" and "Blue Sapphire". If you dont know what it means to control the entire text of an article, take a look at my new long story "Debt of Life" published in "Independent Magazine" tomorrow. Also, Id like to give some advice to that genius writer Su Xichen: if you cant write medium or long stories because youre not good at controlling the overall narrative, just read mine and Ill teach you how to control the entire text without charging any tuition fees.

  "Hmph, shameless. This article is obviously a despicable trick by the authors to step on Su Rui Chen and rise to fame." Jiang Yu mentally blacklisted "Independent Journal", he would absolutely not buy it.

  "You may not care about their methods, but what they say is true. Su Reis serialized reasoning series Folmo are all short stories, isnt this enough to prove it?" Yang Guo.

  "Yawn" Jiang Yu turned his head around and focused on reading Yangcheng Evening News, ignoring him.

  "The Green Jade Crown Case" was todays story, and Jiang Yus entire mind had sunk into it.

  "I really didnt expect that the final culprit would be my niece. How could I have not thought of it?" Jiang Yu patted his own head.

  The Case of the Green Jade Crown: The case revolves around a crown, highly valued by the Empire, adorned with thirty-nine large green jade stones. It was kept in the home of the second-largest partner of the bank. However, one day, it was discovered that one of the large green jade stones had gone missing. The owner suspected his own careless son, but the final outcome revealed a major twist: the culprit turned out to be the owners niece, whom he liked and thought was very capable!

  "Suxie Chens reasoning is really impressive, cant guess who the murderer is until the very end. And that sentence Holmes said is so classic!" Jiang You coughed and imitated Holmes tone "Theres an old saying: when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. Holmes is really too calm, like a robot, completely unaffected by external factors. This story is a bit short, when can Suxie Chen write a novella?"

  "The Green Jade Crown Case" is over 10,000 words, while "The Red-Haired Assembly" has more than 30,000 words. In comparison, its indeed shorter.

  "I believe Su Zhechen has no problem controlling his words."

  The next day, Jiang Yu got up early and ran to the newsstand to buy Yangcheng Evening News. The Yangcheng Evening News is now very popular, and there is only one newsstand on his way to school. If he doesnt come a little earlier, he wont be able to buy it.

  "The Dancing Little People" what a strange name. As he walked, he looked around and fortunately it was a straight road with few people on it, otherwise Jiang Yu would have been knocked unconscious.

  "This story is brilliant, too brilliant!" Jiang Yu excitedly gesticulated "I really want to pry open Su Rui Chens big brain and take a look, see whats inside, the Morse code is nothing compared to this, the dancing little man, at first glance it looks like a childs scribble, but unexpectedly, the little man can be deciphered using the frequency of letter appearance, in the end, the decoded message is an English sentence: [e.here.at.once] translated into Chinese is: Come here immediately!"

  "Too handsome, too handsome..." Jiang Yus mouth kept repeating "too handsome".

  "Hey, Potato, youre still reading that genius authors reasoning? Youre really out of touch. Here, Ill give you this copy of Independent Edition."

  Ginger reluctantly opened the independent publication "A Successful Prophecy" with a frown.

  A successful prophecy, still a short story, it seems that if as I said, Su Rui Chens current ability cant write medium and long-term reasoning at all, so there is only mixing in the short or micro world. Today, my new book "Life Debt" has started serialization, let me teach you what it means to control the whole text...

  Ginger couldnt take it anymore and directly threw the "Independence Journal" to the ground. "Su Xixing, you still need to be taught? Youre an idiot!"

  Ginger scolded for a while before stopping, then looked at the article "The Dancing Little People" in her hand, and there was no doubt about its brilliance, with a unique perspective on passwords. However, no matter how brilliant it was, it couldnt hide the fact that "The Dancing Little People" was a short story.

  Four posts were published, all of which were short stories. Cant Su Xuechen really handle medium or long stories? Jiang Yixin had such doubts in her heart.
