Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

As different as ever!

When thousands of readers from Kyushu read the much-anticipated finale with great interest, they saw the old thief's breakthrough again!

There must be one particularly big difference from the other nine books.

There are some cases in the book that are narrated by Holmes himself!

This change of perspective undoubtedly adds a sense of novelty to the book. Otherwise, it will always be the same rhythm and perspective, and readers will get used to it no matter how much they like it.

The cases in New Detective are still so wonderful.

For example, in The Problem of Thunder Bridge, the deceased was the wife of the Golden King, who was shot to death. The Golden King wrote to Holmes asking for help. As a result, after Holmes' investigation, the method and motive of the case were found out.

It turns out that the deceased committed suicide and wanted to use his death to blame his love rival.

There is also The Noble Patron. Holmes is hired to prevent a marriage. The man is a murderer with a bad record. Many women have died of torture or murder before, but the baron has a high status, and Holmes's task is to prevent this. A marriage.

The identity of the employer remains mysterious from beginning to end.

…

Many of these stories can find their prototypes in daily life.

The world of Sherlock Holmes and the detective stories of Sherlock Holmes not only involve those earth-shattering cases or murders, but also describe many such daily life stories, which makes the character of Sherlock Holmes more lifelike in the entire work. !

This is the reason why so many ordinary people in the past life believed that Sherlock Holmes really existed or had a prototype.

Just imagine, if the story of Sherlock Holmes, like Conan's journey and death, was not commissioned, would it still have such a sense of reality?

The influence of a work can be so great. The plot of the novel is only part of it. The more important reason is the characterization and charm of the characters.

Unknowingly, many Sherlock Holmes fans are turning page after page, but the reluctance in their hearts is getting more and more turbulent.

This masterpiece will finally come to an end today.

…

Different from previous novels, the final climax is ushered in at the final finale, giving the characters a perfect ending.

The final step in the Sherlock Holmes series, New Detectives, is not like this. Instead, it compiles Sherlock Holmes' previous detective stories. The entire Sherlock Holmes series is not written according to a timeline.

Strictly speaking, the last case that Holmes handled was The Last Regards. At that time, Holmes went to Sykes to study beekeeping and enjoy the pastoral life after retirement. At the invitation of the Prime Minister, Holmes returned to the world and spent two years. Long.

Investigations were carried out in various places in Mizhou and Xizhou, and the spy group was finally annihilated in one fell swoop!

After the case was over, Holmes once again retired and had no more cases.

The story of this New Detective is before retirement.

…

It's so exquisite...

This kind of design can only be written by an old thief.

After seeing the final epilogue of New Detective, Li Liyue, Xiao Xiangshota and others were completely conquered.

The reason is that the entire structure of Sherlock Holmes is not one case after another like a running account, but the order of the cases is disrupted, and then recorded using memoirs and different perspectives.

This structure, just like the storyline of Sherlock Holmes, makes the story more realistic!

Including the last case recorded, there is no stimulation or prolongation of the readers' emotions. You must know that this is what the old thief has always been best at, but this time he has completely abandoned it.

You must know that at the end of many novels, a sense of epic completion will be created. This is a popular saying.

Professionally speaking, the three elements are rationality, trust, and semi-closedness. This is the principle that Li Liyue has followed since its inception.

For example, leaving a long tail effect, except for the secondary plot, the main plot must not end abruptly.

Through the long tail effect, the ending can continue in the imagination of readers.

For example, the finale of Zhu Xian, the look between Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi, and the open feeling at the end of Harry Potter.

For example, in a previous life, Jürgen Wolf wrote in Creative Writing Master Class, In the endings of many novels and screenplays, a common mistake writers make is to rely on coincidence or the power of appearing out of thin air to solve the problem. The key question, rather than having it resolved by the actions of the protagonist, feels unreal.”

This rationality is also the key to the ending.

But the ending of the Sherlock Holmes series by the old thief was completely abandoned. When the last page was turned, the readers did not feel like they were reading a novel at all, but as if they were reading the diaries or memoirs left by Holmes and Watson. .

it's over?

Is this the end?

…

After readers closed the last page, this thought popped into their minds.

But this thought is not one of loss or disappointment, but an unspeakable feeling, as if the story of Sherlock Holmes should end like this.

This is the life of Sherlock Holmes. When he was young, he had the Spotted Belt Case, the Uncanny Valley Case, and the Scandal in Bohemia... When he got old, he had the retired paint dealer case, the Abbey School case, and the Last Salute case...

Many readers closed their eyes.

Sherlock Holmes' life is gradually pieced together through the story fragments in the novel, converging into Sherlock Holmes's magnificent life, but so real that people have to imagine and believe it!

…

The release of the finale of Sherlock Holmes without any surprise caused a huge sensation in Kyushu, even more so than the Harry Potter series.

While the huge group of Fu fans in England were having heated discussions on the Internet, more people rushed to No. 221 Baker Street, holding up various signs and painting various graffiti!

It's just that this time the content on the sign is not the previous Stop Murdering Sherlock Holmes.

Instead, there are various praises, such as Sherlock Holmes is the greatest work of the 21st century and so on.

Under such a terrifying craze, such remarks will naturally not receive much refutation. Even the author who has an opinion on this will not come out at this time, otherwise it will be no different from riding on the popularity.

Although it is the fate of a speaker to be misunderstood, there are many top Kyushu authors who do not think Sherlock Holmes is the greatest work of the 21st century.

In their view, both Sherlock Holmes and Harry Potter are just bestsellers, at least one level away from being the greatest works of the 21st century.

But now, there is no doubt that it is a carnival for all Sherlock Holmes fans!

On the Book software, after the Sherlock Holmes series was confirmed to be completed, it was integrated into a series collection. For a time, the rating of the Sherlock Holmes series even reached a perfect 10 points!

Of course, this is a short-lived situation. After all, almost all of them are die-hard book fans who can score the first time.

[(10 points) Nothing to say! The old thief is awesome! Holmes is awesome! 】

Comment from a twenty year old mystery fan. 】

…

The completion of Sherlock Holmes has become a top priority in the Kyushu novel world.

Sales across Kyushu are surging like crazy, and the total sales are constantly breaking the sales record of Harry Potter!

Those dazzling figures make everyone's eyes wander. The single-volume sales of each volume exceed 100 million, and they are still rising.

It can be said that the popularity of the old thief in the Kyushu novel world has reached a new level.

This means that there are a large number of loyal fans of the old thief all over Kyushu. They are looking forward to the next work of this old thief!

The identity of the old thief is mysterious, and the types of works he creates are equally mysterious. No one can guess what type of work the old thief will bring in his next work.

There is just one small detail that can make anyone guess.

That is the original work of Little Fish and Flowers, which was written by the old thief. This shows that the old thief was writing martial arts novels at least last year.

Is it possible...

Is the new novel in the martial arts genre?

Some smarter readers have guessed this, but it is not easy to write a martial arts novel into a series.

Of course, these are still speculations. If you want to continue to follow Lao Zei's works, the anime Digimon will be released in a month. By then, many of Lao Zei's fans will definitely flock in!

To a certain extent, the success of Sherlock Holmes has led to the development and popularity of many works in Xiazhou's entertainment industry!
