In Liu Miao's view, so many restrictive creative techniques in the mystery novels of the Benge school will only lead to the final novel being completely different. bored.Therefore, the reasoning novels popular in China are still led by the Social School, and the Benge School is just a dessert after the feast of reasoning.But in Japan, perhaps related to Japan's national character, Benge school mystery novels have always been a very popular category of novels in Japan.Moreover, the right to adapt such themes is also the best seller. After all, Japan has now become the dumping ground for China and the United States, two major film-producing countries.But only the live-action movies adapted from Benge’s mystery novels can still sell at the box office, so the excellent works of Benge’s mystery novels can often sell the rights to adapt TV dramas or cartoons in the same year, and the live-action movie of the same name can be released in the next year.From this we can see how huge a fanbase of readers the Benge school mystery novels have in Japan.

Moreover, under the promotion of the reasoning author himself, the duel between Shimada Shoji and Liu Miao has attracted the attention of many readers.It’s interesting to say that Japan has always been Liu Miao’s second largest market. After all, Liu Miao’s novel style is very close to Japanese light novels, so the sales volume of Liu Miao’s pure love novels in Japan was still amazing. The recent book "Five Centimeters Per Second" "It has been the champion of the best-selling novel list of "Yomiuri Daily" for [-] consecutive weeks.When it was learned that Liu Miao was going to have a one-on-one match with Shoji Shimada on the mystery novels of this genre, the fans of both sides showed their greatest enthusiasm to build momentum for their respective idols, so this duel actually broke through the restrictions of the cultural circle , has become the most concerned topic of Japanese nationals in summer vacation.So when Kadokawa Bookstore announced the official release of Liu Miao's original mystery novel "The Devotion of Suspect X", it immediately triggered a wave of panic buying.

Many people have higher expectations for "The Devotion of Suspect X" because of Shimada Shoji's "The Murder Magic of Astrology" in front of him.If the follow-up reviews are bad, then sales of Suspect X's Devotion will be terminated, and the contest will naturally go to Shoji Shimada.It's a pity that "The Devotion of Suspect X" is obviously a very rigorous mystery novel, and the complexity of the plot can be called brain-burning.Countless readers didn't know who the murderer was until the end, and the people they guessed at the beginning turned out to be innocent in the end.

This kind of novel that plays with the reader's IQ to the extreme has won the complete admiration of countless readers.was conscripted.After being convinced, readers praised "Suspect X's Devotion" to the extreme on blogs and forums, which aroused the attention and follow-up of various Japanese news programs and variety shows.In the end, the first-week sales of "Suspect X's Devotion" exceeded 300 million copies in Japan, directly setting a record for the first-week sales of Japanese novels.Shimada Shoji then announced that he had lost. According to the agreement, Shimada Shoji's handwritten surrender letter was published by Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" and China's "Oriental News Weekly".And this letter of surrender completely ignited the sales of "Suspect X's Devotion" in China. The sales that were originally sluggish suddenly rose in a straight line and directly won the triple platinum sales in the second week of release, and this sales boom There was no slowing down in the third week either.Many media said that the trophy for Liu Miao's first Diamond Book Award is about to be born, and this may also be the fastest diamond sales volume for popular books.

Relying on the relationship with Liu Miao's mother, Oriental TV Network's "Weekly Culture Report" got an interview with Liu Miao. When asked whether he would continue to write original mystery novels, Liu Miao replied: "Benge style mystery novels are An important part of mystery and detective novels, but I am personally better at social mystery novels. Currently I am writing three series of 'Sherlock Holmes', 'Polo' and 'Miss Marple', plus I also have I really don’t have the ability and energy to create mystical novels of the Benge school after I created novels such as "The Legend of the White-haired Witch" and the "Suzumiya Haruhi" series. If Mr. Shimada Shoji hadn’t raised the confrontation to the level of national honor this time, I would I never thought of writing "The Devotion of Suspect X" at all." After answering the question, Liu Miao also promoted the TV series of the same name that was adapted from his early novel "Autumn Fairy Tale" under the hint of the reporter of Oriental TV Network. It will be broadcast in the prime time of the autumn file of Oriental TV Network. Don't forget to watch Yunyun.

After the show, Liu's mother took Liu Miao home for dinner.On the way home, Mother Liu couldn't help nagging: "I heard from Yanyan that you have spent a lot of time writing novels recently. Although your father and I think that being a writer is a good job, but if you spend all day like this Writing novels, we feel too overdrawn for our health.”

"I know." Liu Miao smiled wryly.

Where does he not know that writing like this is harmful to the body?Even if I have the original to be able to write, but I still have to correct some details.Moreover, the writing speed of nearly [-] words per day is also very harmful to the body.Many people think that you writers or writers are just typing in front of the computer. Is it more harmful to the body than physical work?Liu Miao can tell you directly that almost every writer or writer has injuries to his knuckles and wrists, and when he is a little older, he has problems with his shoulders and back.Then this long-term sitting and writing work will also cause damage to the spine and organ fat.

Fortunately, Liu Miao is still young. For writing, Liu Miao has already purchased a treadmill to do aerobic exercise for herself, and an expensive massage chair to relax herself.In addition, there are negative oxygen ion generators and air fresheners to assist your breathing.Weekly regular massages allow me to relax completely, and I also start consulting with nutritionists and Chinese medicine practitioners to prepare some nourishing medicinal meals for myself to reduce damage.Even so, Liu Miao still feels that he cannot be compared with before.

So Liu Miao had no choice but to say, "I should be able to finish a few books this year, and from next year, at most two to three books will be serialized at the same time every year."

Liu Miao will not write the complete works of the Polo series and the Miss Marple series, because Agatha Christie's achievements are actually much smaller than those of Conan Doyle as a writer of social mystery novels.After all, Conan Doyle's story background is bigger, and it is also important for Conan Doyle to have the courage to break through himself.Therefore, Liu Miao's Polo series and Miss Marple series are more a selection of Agatha Christie's novels. It is estimated that they will be completed by the end of the year, and the rest will be published by the publishing house according to the timing.As for the Haruhi Suzumiya series, Liu Miao has almost finished writing.In the future, there will be a single volume in January, and then it will be published in the form of a large plot collection.

Liu Miao's current idea is to shift the main force to martial arts novels and fantasy novels next year, because martial arts novels are the most popular genre among popular novels, and currently "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan Mountains" and "The White-haired Witch" have become Liu Miao's favorite novels. After accumulating fame in this area, the most important thing is that the film copyright of "Seven Swords Under Tianshan" has been sold, so Liu Miao has been hailed as a new generation popular author in the martial arts circle.Of course, Liu Miao also had to admit that he wanted to avoid the bloody storm stirred up by Gu Chongguang, Gong Yuxiang, and Quan Xuenai, and he was not qualified to challenge these three supreme gods.

As for fantasy novels, this is the largest branch of fantasy novels, and its counterpart is science fiction.And the general category of fantasy novels can be divided into three subcategories: fantasy, pure fantasy and fantasy.Magic novels are easy to understand. They are basically fantasy novels with magic as the theme, such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". However, there are no works like "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" in this time and space. .Pure fantasy is based on real history or modern society. Although it also has a certain magical background, it is not so rigorous.The stories are basically based on urban legends, such as the Werewolf series and the Bloodline series.As for fantasy, it is to borrow the elements of cultivating immortals from the East.

And fantasy and science fiction can also hybridize such as "steampunk" (such as Final Fantasy and Sakura Wars series), "space opera" (such as Galactic Heroes and Firefly), "cyberpunk" (such as The Matrix and Ghost in the Shell) ) and so on fringe fiction.According to Liu Miao's thinking, he may not be able to become a martial arts master, but a fantasy master should be fine.Most importantly, fantasy novels are gold mines for film and television adaptations, game adaptations, and anime adaptations, and I have to get involved.

"If Penguin can launch an original novel channel and an original comic channel, Youth Club, Xingli Film and Television Production Company, Penguin Game Company, and Different World Consumer Products Company will fully support it." Liu Miao once again encouraged Mr. Ma, "According to our The original 'Diamond Project', Black Diamond and White Diamond were prepared for Penguin novels and Penguin comics. My Youth Club can provide editing support. After all, I can't consume so many works here, so the web serialization will be a Very good supplement. Paid reading, monthly pass mechanism, reward mechanism, minimum guarantee and completion rewards, etc., are enough to attract those authors who are depressed in the physical aspect to join. And in the future, we will also open wireless channels and mobile reading, etc. Ways, there are many places to make money. Especially the star power and our own penguin game can also supplement the income in the adaptation? Besides, I worked hard to persuade my father to establish a different world consumer goods company. It is not for the purpose of expanding our peripherals Market? Mr. Ma, I have shown so much sincerity, why are you still hesitating? If you want to worry about the game, you can package Penguin novels and animations into Penguin Original Culture Company and sell them to me. How about under the penguin?"

"No, I was very hurt last time when Penguin Games happened." Mr. Ma is not a short-sighted person. The establishment of Penguin Games was indeed a time lag.

When Mr. Ma saw "Legend" and "Stone Age" being localized, as well as the business plan made by Liu Miao, he knew he had made a mistake.Although these two games are still operated by Penguin Interactive Entertainment, most of the profits have been taken away by Liu Miao, and the rest will be shared with Liu Miao within Penguin Network Company.It can be said that Liu Miao not only took away the meat, but did not even leave the bones, and he just drank the broth by himself.

Now Liu Miao is clamoring to make Penguin novels and Penguin animation, and even the upstream and downstream industrial chains have been laid, which must be extremely profitable.Although Liu Miao's way of laying out the future has led to Penguin's current low profits, fortunately, the shareholders of Penguin are currently Liu Miao and Mr. Ma who have the final say. The two hold as much as 90% of the holdings, allowing other small shareholders to completely Nothing to say.What's more, we have already felt the winter of the Internet. In terms of reserves, Penguin is one of the few companies in China that can survive this cold winter.Therefore, these small shareholders will not be so stupid as to be out at this time, and they are still waiting to make a lot of money in the future.
