Chapter 18 Time Reasoning
After the college entrance examination, Zhang Chu, a person who had taken the two exams, did not let go of the carnival of slutty and body like others, and he devoted himself to the writing of "Detective Sherlock".
Supported by many reputation values, he finally finished this short story on June 10, and there is only a few time left before the deadline.
"I thought you were too late, so show me the subsequent plot!"
Zhang Bowen was not polite at all. He had been jealous of Zhang Chu's novel for a long time. The taxi driver in the middle killed people with poison, while Sherlock Holmes brought his new tenant and assistant John Watson to start a journey to solve the case.
After the murderer murdered Jennifer Wilson, he abandoned the box she had landed in the car along the street, and no matter who got the pink box, it would be eye-catching.
Relying on this pink box alone, Sherlock gradually locked in on the murderer, so the name of this short story is called Pink Research!
Of course, this case was adapted from "Secondary of Blood", which is the first case between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson recognized by readers.
"From a carriage to a taxi, and the identity of the dead has also changed. There is a foreshadowing here, right? Taxi drivers cannot complete this level of murder, and there must be someone behind it. Are you planning to expand this short story to a long one?"
As a reader, Zhang Bowen is undoubtedly qualified and even excellent.
Zhang Chu nodded. He did have this ambition. Since he had written one, he might as well keep it and slowly write down the following ones to form a complete novel.
"Dad, what do you think?"
"If this novel is not advanced, they must be blind!" Zhang Bowen said firmly, but he felt a little melancholy in his heart.
Being better than being a master is better than being a master. His son is much better than himself when he writes a novel for the first time. He is relieved and has a sufficient understanding of his writing talent.
After hearing his father say this, Zhang Chu finally relaxed a little.
The success of the adaptation of this case is a matter of opinion, and Zhang Chu handed over the decision to the editors of the magazine.
He added the document to the email and sent it to the Year Reasoning magazine!
...
"Second Reasoning" is a local reasoning magazine dedicated to original Chinese reasoning. It was founded in 2006. It was originally a series of books that cooperated with Mingzhu Publishing House. Later, due to the good market response, it began to cooperate with "Second Reasoning" magazine and officially became a monthly magazine.
It is known as the number one brand of domestic mystery magazines, and mainly publishes original mystery reading materials for mystery detective literature. Most of the readers are high school students, college students, social white-collar workers and senior intellectuals.
This time, I worked with the publisher of "Detective Sherlock Holmes", the top Hollywood giant Warner Bros., to host the event in the China region of the Sherlock Holmes Fan Essay Competition, which is tantamount to greatly enhance the influence of "Time Reasoning" among ordinary people!
On the 31st floor of the Huateng Beitang Business Building, editors of Time Reasoning Magazine have already started their work today, and will take a month to select works to be published next month.
"It's almost halfway through this month. Do you have any excellent manuscripts in your hands?"
Chen Haodong asked, as the editor-in-chief of "Time Reasoning", he was very burdened. He was always worried that there would be no manuscripts, and the number of readers for ordering was reduced, so that the publication was suspended and the publication was closed.
Their magazines are not as good as publishers. At least they have support from the state, government and even corresponding agencies and units. If the magazines are not well managed, they will have to close their doors!
A young man wearing thick glasses stood up, shook his head and said, "Teacher Chen, we have received a lot of manuscripts recently, but many of them are just subtitles, and there are even some plagiarism."
When the Times Reasoning Magazine was established, it was already a period of desolation for paper media. So far, the editorial department is only three or two big cats. Most of the elderly in the magazine have resigned. The young editors recruited now are passionate, but they are unable to change anything.
Chen Haodong couldn't help but sigh. He rubbed his temples and became a little worried. Although the recent lively Holmes fan essay competition has increased the sales of his magazine a lot, the hidden behind this prosperity is the lack of manuscripts for the magazine.
There are few excellent inference authors, but I don’t know what’s going on recently, so I can’t find a few high-quality novels.
"I hope this essay contest for Sherlock Holmes can last for a while and see if there are any good novels in this period." Chen Haodong's head aches at this time. He looked through his email and mobile phone number, "I have to give up my old face now and ask the previous authors if there is any manuscript."
Writers who are slightly famous will not submit their articles through email. That is the way newcomers do. Writers must make an appointment in advance to negotiate prices, content of the work and word count.
At this moment, a short-haired girl knocked on the door of Chen Haodong's office with a USB flash drive. She asked, "Teacher Chen, can I disturb you?"
"Xiao Liu, if you have any questions, just come in and talk about it."
Although Liu Qiao looks like a cute girl, she has a strong heart. She originally likes detective and suspense novels. After she graduated from the Chinese Department, she naturally entered the Year Reasoning Magazine. She stayed for five years and her appearance did not seem to have changed at all.
"Teacher Chen, haven't I been in charge of collecting fan essays from Sherlock Holmes recently? I just received a submission this morning and I think it's quite good. I think it can be used as the main theme of the next issue."
Chen Haodong was a little surprised. He knew that Liu Qiao's level would not tell lies. I guess that novel was really extraordinary.
"You don't even have such a high evaluation of the first article on the rankings, "Shelmes' Will", you really like this article?"
Liu Qiao nodded, "I think that novel is not innovative enough. This novel focuses on modern society. When Victorian Sherlock Holmes was a detective in modern society, it was full of highlights and gimmicks."
Chen Haodong took the USB flash drive over, then inserted it on the computer and opened it, and found the document listed by Liu Qiao, "Is it this "Detective Sherlock"?"
"It's that article. It seems that the author has a lot of ambitions and seems to want to write the article into a long article."
Chapter completed!
