70. No one survived (Thanks to the 1,500 point reward from Dream Journey) (please vote)
Because Youyou hadn't woken up yet, Sun Ya simply washed the dishes and chopsticks again, and then started to work on wiping the table. In fact, at this time, Gu Cheng had fully recognized her work ability, but in order to avoid any accidents.
, let’s wait until the trial period has passed before notifying you.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Gu Cheng touched his daughter's little face and walked into the study with a satisfied smile.
Open your laptop and browse the news on the Internet.
It has been several days since the new book was released, and more and more readers have chosen to share their opinions online, mostly with praise.
It is rare for a great mystery novel to appear on the market, and the public's tolerance is still very high. They all look forward to Gu Cheng's subsequent works. Occasionally, if they are dissatisfied with their opinions, they will be voluntarily rejected by readers.
Although he didn't talk to Yu Qi on the phone, his excitement could still be read from the occasional text messages he received.
This book has now sold more than 700,000 copies, which is already the best-selling book in the past ten years. However, because the initial momentum has been consumed, the sales curve that had been rising has begun to slow down.
It has declined, but it will not take more than a month to clear out the publisher's inventory of 1.1 million.
As some readers who buy and read the book spontaneously promote it, subsequent sales may not fluctuate greatly, but they can also continue to increase steadily.
What Yu Qi meant was to prepare to print another 500,000 copies after the sales reached 900,000. Of course, Gu Cheng was happy to see this happen.
The more you sell, the more royalties you earn, and the freer your financial situation becomes.
Because Gu Cheng has been keeping things at home, he is not clear about many things. His name has already become famous among the writers. Everyone is surprised by Gu Cheng's age and achievements. But after he bought a copy and read it himself, some rumors and slanderous remarks
A lot has been reduced.
Literary men look down upon each other, but when faced with a work like "Orient Express", many writers cannot say anything that goes against their own subjective consciousness.
However, there are still many people who are not convinced by Gu Cheng. The market is only so big. The emergence of Gu Cheng has affected the interests of many people. If you sell more, I will sell less. When facing interests, there is always a fight.
Even if Gu Cheng knew it, he wouldn't care too much. Relying on the huge cultural gifts of the earth, these people are all prodigal dogs to him. As his works continue to be released, one day they will accept this reality.
After browsing the forum for a while and praising him, Gu Cheng closed the computer with a smile, opened the document, and typed the title "No Survival" in large characters.
"Oriental Train" has ended, and I have gained a lot. The next book is a great opportunity to build my reputation.
After thinking about it, he still felt that his style should not be too fragmented, so he still had to be careful when choosing his target.
"No Survival", which belongs to the same author as "Orient Express", officially came into his eyes.
Because it was written by the same author, the style is also consistent. In its previous life, "No Survival" sold more than 100 million copies. Although it has accumulated over time, you can still see that this book is a best-seller and has been adapted into movies, dramas, and comics.
, games, etc.
The reason why Gu Cheng remembers this book so deeply is because of the scary nursery rhyme "Ten Little Indian Boys" in this book. When he first heard this nursery rhyme, he was so scared that he couldn't sleep for several days.
Good sleep, this prophetic killing method has also been cited in many novels and has become a classic plot in many mystery novels.
No one survived. As the name suggests, the ending of this book is that no one was alive. After the storm subsided, only ten corpses were left on the island.
The ten small porcelain statues in the novel are the finishing touch, adding to the horror atmosphere.
In the end, the truth of the case comes from the murderer's confession. This kind of writing has never been written before in this world. I believe it will become a very novel way of writing and attract some fans who like horror novels.
However, it is also a challenge for Gu Cheng to write the Chinese version of this book, because the author has many metaphors in the text. If they are omitted, the excitement may be greatly reduced.
The Indian nursery rhyme in the original text is also a highlight. Gu Cheng’s initial idea was to change it to the Miao people of China, which also gave people the feeling of being full of mystery. Moreover, there are many works in this world that add a lot of confusion to the Miao people.
at.
Although the project is huge and the adaptation is difficult, Gu Cheng is still very confident. This is a good opportunity for him to practice. The final purpose of the text is to hope that he can write a popular work. In addition, there are now
Sun Ya helps take care of the children, and she has more free time and ample funds, so she can face this matter with a relaxed mood.
While writing, I opened the search engine and looked up information. The development of technology has made many things very convenient. You can check out a lot of useful information without leaving home. In the past, you would not have to go to the library.
Borrow a lot of books and look for the knowledge you can use word by word.
Perhaps because he was too immersed in it, Gu Cheng didn't hear his daughter's cry for almost the entire afternoon, and felt that the whole room was extremely quiet. Sun Ya also came in once or twice during the process and gave Gu Cheng some lemon tea she made.
Gu Cheng feels that his life has become much more comfortable after having a confinement nanny.
The book "No One Survived" originally had 170,000 words, but after Gu Cheng's sinicization, many parts were adapted to suit the reading habits of Chinese people, the language was simplified, and the names were shortened. In the end, it may only have 150,000 words.
However, this is considered qualified and meets the standards for publication.
Gu Cheng also plans to negotiate with the publisher to insert ten colorful illustrations into the book, which depict ten little porcelain figures with different forms of death. I believe it will be very appropriate to the content of the novel and make the trip worthwhile for readers.
After looking at the word count at the bottom of the document, he only wrote four thousand words in one afternoon. It seemed that this project would take a while. Gu Cheng stretched himself and made a crackling sound all over his body.
It had been a long time since I had sat for a long time, so my body felt tired for the first time in a long time. I turned off the computer and walked out of the door, intending to relax and stretch my brain.
"Huh?"
As soon as Gu Cheng opened the door, he saw Sun Ya playing with her daughter in her arms, pacing back and forth, and softly comforting the baby in her arms. Youyou also looked at her obediently, neither crying nor fussing.
