Entertainment Godfather

What makes Luoyang's eyes bright is not that he himself can enter the top ten on this list.

Because most of Luoyang's works are not well-known around the world, what really makes Luoyang care about is Theking's identity. He feels that the emergence of Theking is so shocking that he was selected as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by "Authority" magazine. Not difficult!

"Does Theking have any hope of being selected into the top ten?"

Hua Qidao: "The "Authority" magazine's review of this list includes five categories: giants, pioneers, artists, leaders and idols. Teacher Theking belongs to the category of artists just like the boss. His "Sherlock Holmes" is famous all over the world. The book is extremely popular, and he is officially recognized as the number one person in the world of reasoning by "Aurora Brain". In this case, he will not only enter the "Authority" 100 list, but may also be ranked no lower than the boss."

After saying that, Hua Qi asked strangely: "Why did the boss ask Theking?"

Luoyang said nonsense seriously: "Teacher Theking's "Sherlock Holmes" is still serialized in "Jiang Hu" magazine. Of course I have to care about it. If he is selected, it will also promote the sales of our "Jiang Hu", right?"

"Of course!"

Hua Qi nodded firmly.

Liu Qin and Hu Bo suppressed their laughter. They naturally knew that Luoyang was Teacher Theking. Only poor little Hua Qi was kept in the dark.

Hua Qi was keenly aware of Liu Qin's snickering, and turned her eyes. Liu Qin coughed quickly and said: "Hua Qi, the selection categories for the 100 People List you mentioned include giants, pioneers, artists, leaders and idols. I understand the classification of artists, idols and leaders, but what do giants and pioneers mean?”

“Giants generally refer to entrepreneurs, while pioneers refer to world-class athletes.”

"I see, then each category seems to be able to be divided into twenty people in the end..."

Hua Qi nodded and said: "Yes, you don't have to think about it that much. The results will come out naturally when the time comes. Many people pay attention to this matter every year. Last year, only 20 people from our Dragon Kingdom were selected. I don't know how many will be selected this year. "

"Well, then I'm going to code first."

Luoyang said hello to everyone and entered the study.

Sitting on the chair, Luoyang typed four words on the keyboard: The last case!

Yes, the famous "The Final Case" is the last story in the memoirs of "Sherlock Holmes". Conan Doyle planned to use this story as the finale of "Sherlock Holmes"!

Fu fans will definitely be familiar with the "Last Case Incident"——

In 1893, Conan Doyle, the father of Sherlock Holmes, suddenly began to hate the endless serialization of the story.

He felt that Sherlock Holmes had taken up too much of his time, so he decided to find a way to end the novel. In "The Final Case", he arranged a final battle between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty. In the end, both of them fell into a trap. In Hezhong, after "The Last Case" was published, the whole world was shocked, triggering the most intense reader backlash in history. Even the author's mother said she could not accept the ending.

The magazine that serialized the series of stories suffered from widespread unsubscriptions, and letters of anger, protest and condemnation flew in like flakes!

Readers expressed their dissatisfaction in various ways. They sent death threats, they smashed the windows of the author's house, and young people at work even put black veils around the brim of their hats to express their condolences. There were even demonstrations of various sizes. Then, under the banner of "Give me back Sherlock Holmes," they lingered in front of the Embassy in the UK.

To many fans, Sherlock Holmes is a real-life British citizen.

And "The Last Case" was a ruthless murder, and they denounced Conan as less than a beast.

Of course, in the end it was due to the protests and expectations of book fans. Conan Doyle finally resurrected the detective in "The Empty House."

In fact, this was not the first time Conan Doyle had thoughts of murder. He had mentioned this evil idea in a letter to his mother before. However, as a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, the old lady severely rejected the proposal and saved After asking Holmes once, she replied emphatically: You wouldn't do that! You can't do this! You shouldn't do this! And, Holmes will never die!

It is said that a young female editor cried bitterly on the spot after reading the manuscript.

It is said that the editor-in-chief of the magazine at that time shouted "My God" ten times after reading the manuscript.

Coincidentally, in fact, there were many incidents similar to this in previous lives. JK Rowling once said personally on a British TV program: "Two important characters in the "Harry Potter" series of novels will die in the last book, and The main character, Harry Potter, may not be immune."

Subsequently, countless British citizens came to Rowling's home and begged Rowling not to write Harry Potter.

In the end, even the Mayor of London personally came forward and begged her not to do this, because the death of Harry Potter would seriously hurt the hearts of countless children around the world, including his daughter. In the end, Rowling compromised and did not write Harry Potter to death. .

There's also "Transformers."

When the big movie came out in 1986, Optimus Prime, the most classic leader of the Transformers, died in battle. Some people had an ominous premonition when Optimus Prime was seriously injured, but at that time everyone still had full confidence in Optimus Prime. As a result, Optimus Prime finally died. Still dead. Many children burst into tears in the cinema at that time. Many people immediately left the cinema and stopped watching. After the movie ended, the production company's phone was basically flooded with calls. Basically, they said:

"How could you kill Optimus Prime! How could you make the children so sad!"

Some children even locked themselves in their rooms and refused to come out. The investors later proved that they had gone too far.

In fact, what the investors did at the time was understandable. After all, in order to launch new characters and sell new toys to make money, they never expected that after the death of Optimus Prime, the ratings of Transformers dropped sharply, and the sales of new toys were also relatively miserable. In the end, the production team ended up selling new toys after Optimus Prime’s death. The last few episodes of the third season resurrected Optimus Prime and made him turn the tide and become the savior, winning the hearts of many people.

Compared to this, the dragon girls and the mail blades are really weak.

But even so, Luoyang still wants to release "The Last Case". As a pseudo-Fu fan, it is definitely a regrettable thing not to be able to see the "Last Case Incident" with my own eyes, so Luoyang will not publish "The Last Case". "The Last Case" was deleted from the memoirs. In fact, it was not easy to delete it because this story is still related to the sequel.

Luoyang must admit...

He wanted to witness the conditions under which some immortal works were created.

This can be regarded as one of the few joys in his long career as a writer.
