Chapter 730 The End of the World Tour(1/2)
The update of the short story list is like an album promotion plan, announcing the names of short stories that will be previewed in the magazine at different times, attracting the attention of many readers.
Among the short stories, Jiang Yuan also specially selected a few more influential works to be released online first.
It also includes a relatively well-known story-"The Last Case"
Starting from the title of the story, it has a very clear direction.
It also caused the readership group to start a heated discussion as soon as they paid attention.
[The last case should be the last case in the series, right? Will the trial reading session be released directly? 】
[I feel like the final case should be exciting.]
[Suddenly it feels like it would be nice to publish it in different magazines like this, so that there are new stories to read every week.]
[The last case seems to be the last one in the trial reading, so it shouldn’t spoil the other stories, right?]
[If it can be released for everyone to see, there should be no spoilers. 】
[I ordered several magazines at once.]
【Next should be the month of Sherlock Holmes!】
——
Fans on the Internet are looking forward to the time when the work will be online, and Paul and others have also finished reading several short stories listed on the list.
Naturally, "The Last Case" is also included.
When he saw the name, Paul started reading with great anticipation, but after reading it, his mood was quite explosive.
I directly sent Jiang Yuan private messages and bombarded him with messages, and even made a phone call.
However, Jiang Yuan was watching the trainees' performance at that time, so he did not receive the call, but even if he saw it, he might not answer it.
After all, there is a purpose in choosing "The Last Case" among all the short stories.
At the end of this case, when Holmes and the villain Moriarty had their final duel, they fell into a waterfall together and were buried in the abyss.
"The Sherlock Holmes" ended up reading about Sherlock Holmes's death in a story like "The Final Case", and it was difficult for Paul and others not to feel devastated.
[No, what is the meaning of the story "The Final Case"? Did Sherlock Holmes also die together? 】
[Did he really die? Probably not. In fact, he should have escaped death, right? But why is it called the last case? 】
[So the end of the series will end with the death of the detective? 】
【Why no reply?】
[[Voice not connected]]
[Is there a full story? This shouldn’t be the ending, right? 】
.......
Jiang Yuan looked through the message from Paul and quite expected such a reaction.
When he packaged the short story and sent it to Paul, Jiang Yuan had kindly reminded him.
But obviously Paul didn't take this to heart.
The story "The Final Case" actually caused huge controversy during the serialization of the "Sherlock Holmes" series.
According to a common theory, Conan Doyle finally wrote such an ending because he was tired of spending a lot of time writing the story of Sherlock Holmes.
In the early years, this caused dissatisfaction among a large number of book fans, and only after collective pressure was exerted did Holmes have a chance to return.
Jiang Yuan feels that the same controversy will reappear when this story is released in advance. Even because of the Internet, the controversial version is expected to be much ahead.
Therefore, when Jiang Yuan discussed and communicated with Yang Chao and others, he also placed the release time of "The Last Case" on the date closest to its official publication.
As a result, Paul and others were stunned to have officially finished reading the first short story before it was even online. It would be strange if they didn't feel excited.
After all, under normal circumstances, it would take nearly a month to read the full version.
Faced with the bombardment of messages from several members of the Blu-ray band, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a while before replying, preparing to fool him first.
Finally, when Paul was about to call Jiang Yuan again, he finally received a reply from Jiang Yuan.
[The last case does not necessarily mean the end.]
Jiang Yuan only replied with this sentence in the end, without explaining in more detail whether Holmes' final outcome would be life or death.
Paul and others looked at it for a while, and then started questioning again.
Faced with questions that were closer to the details of the story, Jiang Yuan responded with the words "You don't want to be spoiled in advance."
In response to Jiang Yuan's rhetorical reply, Paul and others could only respond in silence, and in the end they could only guess that things would turn around.
After seeing the ambiguous answers soothing Paul and others, Jiang Yuan stopped paying attention.
However, this kind of reaction also made Jiang Yuan start to think about how to deal with the controversial situation when "The Last Case" is officially launched.
After all, the Omega vest has been made public now, and when the time comes, the real owner will be found directly.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yuan left a message to Yang Chao, asking Yang Chao to see if there was any more suitable public relations method after he woke up.
For the next few days in Toronto, Jiang Yuan's life was also very regular.
In this city, the program team finally failed to invite guests to participate in the recording of the latest episode of "Yuan You Hui".
Therefore, Jiang Yuan basically maintains a one-person mode when traveling.
I hold my camera alone and record some scenery related to this city and my recent life.
This is also reflected in some of Jiang Yuan's recent updates to fans. The photos he took were uploaded directly to his account or Yuan Universe on the same day.
Such daily sharing also makes fans feel like they can see Jiang Yuan's circle of friends every day.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan is often recognized by passers-by when traveling in this city.
After all, Jiang Yuan had four days to hold large-scale activities in a whole week.
From book signings to concerts, it can be said that in addition to local citizens, a considerable number of fans also came to this city because of Jiang Yuan.
This also makes some chance encounters look a lot cuter.
Except for the time when he wanders alone in the city, Jiang Yuan also spends the rest of the time walking around the practice room and the performance site step by step, rehearsing and confirming repeatedly to ensure the quality of the performance.
During this process, the contact with perfumer Kells also began to become frequent.
Because they were in the same city, as soon as Kells completed the work, he sent several samples of the edition to Jiang Yuan for Jiang Yuan to try and comment on.
Although the final work presented, all the elements previously selected by Jiang Yuan were used.
But different ratios have very different effects.
After smelling the perfume for the first time, Jiang Yuan also wrote some words to express his feelings on different demos.
In the end, the choice was returned to Kells. After receiving Jiang Yuan's reply, Kells also expressed some surprise.
He said that he didn't expect Jiang Yuan to give so many ideas, which also brought the two of them closer.
In the end, what Jiang Yuan didn't expect was that Kelce directly became a guest in this issue of "Yuan You Hui" and even came to participate in a book signing for Jiang Yuan.
It feels like a year-end friendship.
At the same time, after a longer period of understanding and communication regarding the cooperation that was previously agreed upon verbally, a more concrete plan was developed.
It directly evolved into Kelsi's desire to produce a series of specials based on the background and feelings of different works that Jiang Yuan sang or performed.
Jiang Yuan naturally had no objection when Kels mentioned this idea, and even felt a bit flattered.
After all, Kells' eponymous brand, apart from classic vintage series, rarely collaborates to produce so many perfumes at once.
The special exchange also gave Jiang Yuan's trip to Toronto a different color.
The book signing and concert schedules went very smoothly, and the atmosphere at both events was very exciting.
The two concerts also had some limited-edition tracks that had not been performed in previous concerts, which attracted a certain amount of attention on the Internet.
The only thing is that the recording of the "Yuanyouhui" album was not performed live, which made the audience a little disappointed.
This was also because the time was too short and the preparations were not complete enough, so we did not record this scene.
In the end, before leaving the city, Jiang Yuan gained not only the love and cheers from fans.
I also received a gift from Kells once again.
The gift boxes given previously were mostly given for cooperation.
The parting gift is truly customized, including the final selection of a limited edition of the collaborative perfume named "Detective".
Along with several other versions of the trial version, it was also given to Jiang Yuan. It can be said to be a truly out-of-print limited collection.
As a return gift, Jiang Yuan also gave the other party a physical sample and design manuscript of the latest album "Yuanyouhui", and said that he would send several other albums in the future.
After watching two Jiang Yuan concerts in a row, Kelce also expressed surprise at this gift.
"The data for the new broadcast are very good."
“The feedback from the show’s viewers is that it’s much more interesting after having guests on the show.”
While waiting at the airport, Li Xiaoyue reported the latest data of the new episode of "Yuanyouhui" in real time.
