After drinking the beer, the two of them didn't delay. Gu Cheng's main purpose of coming to the Sunday Club was to find something else to distract himself from the next book.

So at Shang Yan's suggestion, he played the electronic keyboard, and Gu Cheng directly picked up the microphone, found a few familiar songs, and began to develop a tacit understanding between the two of them.

Although the effect of training together with a whole band is not the same, with Gu Cheng's superb singing skills and Shang Yan's excellent playing skills, the two of them performed like a whole band.

Even Li Nan on the side quietly put away his headphones at some point, and the TV on the screen was quietly turned off. He held a glass of beer in his hand and watched the two people with interest.

The center of the warehouse radiates its own light.

The practice between the two continued until five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Gu Cheng saw that it was still late and the night had already covered the entire sky, so he said goodbye and returned to his home with a satisfied look.

After finishing all his daughter's affairs, Gu Cheng finally took some time to sort out his thoughts and think about his next book.

Since your opponent made his fortune from mystery novels, if you want to compete with him, the subject matter of your next book will still be the same as the previous two books, and it will also be within the category of mystery novels.

Moreover, with the support of the first two works, Gu Cheng believes that his novel should naturally be more appealing to the audience than other genres.

But the only problem now is that there are too many similar excellent mystery novels in my mind. Which one should I choose to use as a weapon to compete with others?

In fact, when Gu Cheng was thinking about these questions, he also had some answers in his mind. He had been struggling back and forth between The Devotion of Suspect X and another book.

Speaking of the book "The Devotion of Suspect

A top-notch work that has won the annual championship in three major mystery novel rankings.

You know, mystery novels are almost everyone's favorite type of novel in Japan. Works that can stand out in this country must have good quality and techniques. Moreover, this novel won Japan's highest literary award, the Naoki Award.

Moreover, regarding the review of this book, the Naoki Award selection organization gave the review that he wrote the scam to the extreme.

If nothing unexpected happened, Gu Cheng would have chosen this work as his writing target for his next book. However, when a new writer provoked him, this book became not so appropriate in Gu Cheng's heart.

Already.

Compared to this book, Gu Cheng would rather choose a classic to establish his position in the field of mystery novels at once. It is the kind of book that can satisfy all those who like mysteries even if he no longer writes in this category.

Readers of the novel will always be the first to think of their own name whenever this subject is mentioned.

You know, a good work can significantly improve the writer's reputation, and can even reach the point of national carnival. However, since ancient times, there have not been many such works, so the selection of materials has become Gu Cheng's most important task now. Headache thing.

Another work is relatively well-known, and that is a landmark character that everyone who likes mystery novels cannot avoid, a classic character created by Mr. Arthur Conan Doyle, Sherlock Holmes.

In the previous life, Sherlock Holmes has become synonymous with famous detectives, and in real life, many people regard Sherlock Holmes as synonymous with smart people. Sherlock Holmes has become a symbol of wisdom.

According to statistics from the Guinness Book of World Records, Sherlock Holmes is one of the most frequently screened literary characters in the world. Only the vampire Dracula appears on the screen more times than Sherlock Holmes. As can be seen from here, The popularity of Sherlock Holmes is unprecedented. According to incomplete statistics, more than 75 different actors have played this role in more than 100 TV series or movies since the 0th century.

I believe that if this work can be translated into Chinese with my own hands and feet, so that it can shine brightly in this world, my literary path will definitely be smoother.

Speaking of his past life, Gu Cheng was also extremely obsessed with this fictional detective character. He even read every case of the other party many times and was shocked by the unique perspective and interlocking puzzle-solving techniques.

As for why this character is so shocking, the answer may be found in the original text.

"If I can get rid of the scourge of Moriarty for society, then I am willing to end my detective career. I can say that I have not wasted my life at all. If the journey of my life ends tonight, I can also have a clear conscience. I regard death as home. Because of my existence, the air in London is fresh. In the more than 1,000 cases I have handled, I believe that I have never used my power in the wrong place."

During the years when Sherlock Holmes was writing, the entire society was in turmoil and was in an era of alternation between old and new changes. It was this complex social form that gave rise to all kinds of people with dark psychology.

In this context, people regard Sherlock Holmes as a real person, and even their own beliefs, and look forward to the existence of such a person in their real life, who can always use his own original decryption techniques and superb detective skills. Solve puzzles one after another for people, and wipe out all the injustices and cruel and evil murderers in society.

However, choosing such a character to Chineseize would be much more difficult for Gu Cheng than before. If he wanted to translate the entire series into Chinese, it would be an extremely huge project, and it might even take him nearly a year. More than a year.

If he made such a choice, it would not be in line with the plan he had agreed with Houhan Publishing House.

After thinking carefully for a long time, Gu Cheng finally made up his mind. Under such circumstances, if he could not bring this classic character into the world and make all the mystery fans fall for him, it would be the biggest regret in his life. .

And if we talk about money, the gains this book can bring to me cannot be measured in terms of money.
