Today, Su Xuechen published a new article "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" in Yangcheng Evening News, and also published an article in the comment section for the first time.
"Clowns Clown Mask on Stage"
Clown is a role that makes people happy, and clown mask is an auxiliary tool for the clown to make people happy.
I think such people are worthy of respect, sacrificing their personal dignity for the happiness of others.
"Duli Kankan" is such a clown stage, and their special author Liu Huan is such a clown. He is always thinking about how to make people happy, and the articles published by his pen are the clowns mask.
Its just like the articles "Haste Makes Waste, Proving Oneself in a Rush Will Ultimately Lead to Failure" or "The Reasoning of a Genius Writer is Not Even Worth Mentioning!", these kinds of articles are very qualified as jesters masks because they successfully make people laugh.
Once again, I personally thank "Independent Edition" for providing this clown stage. Thank you to Liu Jian the clown for creating so much laughter for everyone. Thanks also to the clown mask, which is actually the article written by Liu Jian, for using all its might to assist Clown Liu in making everyone happy.
But now we are happy, however, the clown stage, clowns and clown masks have lost their dignity. Thank you so much! Youve worked hard!
Suzhou Release Morning
Su Xichens article caused a stir, he didnt directly scold, if he did, that would be what Liu Huan wanted to see, and started a war of words, in which case no matter who was right or wrong, Su Xichen would appear very unrefined.
Liu Huan thought he could muddy the waters and shirk responsibility, but Su Xianchen completely exceeded his expectations.
This article does not contain a single swear word throughout its entirety, it even seems like a thank-you letter, but is that really the case?
The clowns stage is "Independent Edition", the clown is Liu Huan, and the clowns mask is the article written by Liu Huan.
Is "Independence Magazine" a clown stage? Is Liu Cixin a clown? Are the articles written by Liu Cixin clown masks?
Its not natural! Su Xueran wrote, completely treating "Independent Magazine", Liu Cixin and the articles written by Liu Cixin as laughing stocks to amuse people.
The last sentence "But now we are happy, however, the clown stage, clown, clown mask has lost its dignity, thank you! You worked hard!" This is not gratitude at all, its just plain sarcasm.
The article "Clown Makeup on the Clown Stage" caused a stir and was reposted online, which also made people more aware of Su Xichen.
There are even some online trolls who idolize Su Ximu, and the reason is simple: when Su Ximu scolds people, he doesnt use any dirty words at all. Its just like what was said earlier about Li Wenxue creating the "Plagiarism Theory", on the surface it seems to be praising Li Wenxue, but in reality its actually ridiculing him. And this time, on the surface it appears to be complimenting "Independent Edition", Liu Huan and the articles he wrote, but in fact its severely scolding them, and completely leaving the people being scolded speechless, isnt that powerful enough?
As a result, Su Shichen became popular on the internet for a while, and this unexpected benefit was also something that Su Shichen had not anticipated beforehand.
Su Zhechen published an article, scolding in a relatively subtle manner. Its impossible to just let it go like this. Soon after, Zhao Dandan utilized his connections and some newspapers also published critical articles.
The most famous one is an article "Idle Writers" written by the editor-in-chief of "Paintings and Newspapers".
Nowadays, writers will stop at nothing to boost the sales of their new books. Hype and sensationalism have become old hat; whats in vogue now is attacking another writer who is more famous than themselves, stepping on them to get ahead.
This kind of writer will never be successful. I would advise those writers who like to engage in petty actions to improve the value of their works instead.
Although no ones name is mentioned in the entire article, anyone with a brain can figure out who the author is talking about.
One by one, the newspapers attacked. Originally, due to Lius previous article "Independent Edition", sales were slowly rising, but this time they suddenly plummeted, dropping by 30%.
To know that the sales of "Independent Edition" in Yangcheng and surrounding cities are still quite good, with tens of millions every day. This time it has decreased by at least ten million, and about 70% of these ten million people have been absorbed into the arms of Yangcheng Daily, while the remaining 30% have been eroded by "Morning Talk" and "Huahua Newspaper". Huahua Newspaper has established a branch in Yangcheng and is expanding vigorously.
While Yangcheng Evening News expanded with Su Leis "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection", it also set off a trend of opening up sections, and many newspapers began to invite special authors. "Paintings and Newspapers" was one of them, sending invitations to many first-rate authors.
"Duli Kan" is now in a downward spiral, with "Yangcheng Evening News", "Zao Tan Bao" and "Hua He Bao" all setting their sights on it. As for Liu Cixins long-form science fiction "The Three-Body Problem", who still reads that?
If Liu Cixin was originally a highly anticipated new writer who had already entered the second-tier, after this incident, he fell to third-tier or even lower. Lius path in the literary world is completely severed.
"Duli Kankan" has terminated its contract with Liu Huan in an attempt to restore the newspapers credibility.
As for Lius previous statement that he would also guide Su in mastering the control of full-length novels, this remark has become a joke.
Liu Chens "Independence Magazine" had a signed contract, and it was impossible for the magazine to unilaterally terminate the contract, so they ended up in court. For Su Xichen, this was very good news - dont think Im Garfield just because the tiger hasnt shown its might yet.
As for the painting course of the Eight Great Mountain People Training Institution, Su Shilei has been there three times. These three times have taught him a lot, and he cant help but feel that its indeed professional. Through these three lessons, Su Shilei is now able to paint some anime characters. He took out some time and drew the character settings of Luffy, Naruto, Kenshin, Ichigo, Ryoma Echizen, Ginrui Jei, Allen, and more.
Hes almost finished learning this semester, and hell be able to reach the speed of a Japanese manga artist. He can submit one episode per week, sometimes even faster, because he can directly use the search engine in his brain to find the original paintings and then copy them without getting stuck on the plot. This is absolutely perfect.
Moreover, in the past few days, Su Release has already started stockpiling comics and making preparations. Su Release first set his sights on "Attack on Titan". The episode of "Attack on Titan" is very short, even now Su Release searches online and only finds 50 episodes, and the adapted comic book has only 26 volumes, compared to the more than 600 volumes of "One Piece" and the more than 500 volumes of "Naruto", the difference cannot be overstated. However, why did he choose this work as his debut?
The reason is simple, "Naruto" and "One Piece" are hot-blooded anime, this type of anime is very popular, but theres another point, they are also laborer comics, such comics are suitable for being the pillar of a comic society but not suitable for being the pioneering work.
First, use "Attack on Titan" to make a name for himself, and after the serialization is complete, choose one of the three manga works to be serialized next. With just these two manga works, he can be pushed to the position of a master cartoonist. This will also happen after this semester is over, by which time he should have become a first-rate writer, achieving success in both fields, and opening up a new path for comics, which will definitely create a huge sensation with two lines running simultaneously.
Just a few days ago, the first-month sales of "Journey to the West" were also counted, 273,819 copies, with a terrifying sales volume exceeding 250,000 in the first month, a result that many top writers cant achieve.
This achievement made DeYun Publishing House reap a huge profit, and they naturally wouldnt give up on Su Ruo Chen, this money-making tree. They have already set their sights on the four short stories and one medium-length story of "The Sherlock Holmes Collection", which is almost 100,000 words long and can be published soon.
So De Yun Publishing House has already had someone come over, that is, today I made an appointment with Su Shi to discuss the publication of new books at a coffee shop.
"Excuse me, are you Su Shichen? Hello, Im Gou Xi, the deputy editor-in-chief of De Yun Publishing House." A rather mature middle-aged man, dressed in a well-tailored suit.
"Deputy editor-in-chief? Isnt the editor-in-chief of De Yun Publishing House Wang Nie?" His first book was signed under Wang Nie, and he thought that this time it would definitely be Wang Nie negotiating with him again, since they were familiar with each other. However, it turned out to be someone else, who even claimed to be a deputy editor-in-chief.
"Wang Ni, the chief editor, had a small conflict with the president of the company due to some matters and was temporarily relieved of her duties. I am now acting as the chief editor, and this matter regarding the publication of The Sherlock Holmes Collection is also being handled by me."
Youre kidding, right? Just because of a small disagreement, the chief editors position was removed? You cant fool anyone, being a chief editor isnt just an ordinary editing job. If it wasnt something major, a publishing house wouldnt do something like this.
I was about to take out my phone and call Wangs wife to ask what was going on, but I found that the phone had been out of power for a long time. Under helplessness, I had to give up this idea.
"Gu Creek is the editor, then lets start talking."
"Previously, the sales of Journey to the West published by our publishing house were very good, and The Sherlock Holmes Collection serialized in Yangcheng Daily has some potential." Su Xichen sneered inwardly, really taking him for a fool. Did he know that Yangcheng Daily relied on this Sherlock Holmes Collection to increase its sales by as much as 20%, and yet it only had some potential?
Although the detective is somewhat out of place in todays market, considering that "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" has a certain popularity, and we have also cooperated once before, our publishing house plans to publish "A Case of Dancing Men", "The Adventure of the Green Emerald Crown", "The Adventure of the Blue Sapphire", "The Red-Headed League", and "The Four Signatures". These five articles will be published as the first part of "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes". From Gou Xis tone, it seems that publishing "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" is a kind of charity from De Yun Publishing House.
"Last time Journey to the West was published, our publishing house offered a price of 50 cents per thousand words. This time its 1 yuan per thousand words for a one-time payment. Adding the five articles The Dancing Little People, The Green Jade Crown Case, The Blue Sapphire Case, The Red Hair Club and Four Signatures, which is roughly around 100,000 words, you can get 10,000 yuan this time."
"Haha, 1,000 words for 100 yuan, you can get 10,000 yuan, its a lot! But do you know that Yangcheng Daily just paid 100 yuan per 1,000 words for the publishing rights of my work?" Su Xichens tone turned cold, his eyes staring straight at Gou Xi "You think Im an idiot with your 100 yuan per 1,000 words buyout, Editor-in-Chief Gou!!"
If you think its eye-catching, collect it. If you think its good, give a few recommendation tickets. The kitten thanks again.
