Chapter 789 Use the Trumpet

Since getting the manuscript, Gao Xiang has not moved anywhere. He read it carefully word for word for fear of missing anything.

Sherlock Holmes?

Holmes calls himself a consulting detective, and other police detectives or private investigators often turn to him for help when they encounter difficulties.

He has a calm mind, keen observation, and outstanding reasoning ability. He is good at solving problems through observation, deductive reasoning and legal knowledge.

Normally, he would sit leisurely in Room B at No. 221 Baker Street, smoking a pipe and waiting for his client to come to his door. Once he received a case, he would immediately turn into a hound chasing his prey, start to lock on to the target, and unravel the whole incident, layer by layer.

Filter through layers until the truth finally comes out.

Watson is a doctor.

He is Holmes's best friend and partner.

Holmes praised Watson for his enthusiasm, intelligence, down-to-earthness, generosity, and mischievous humor from time to time. He also had the advantage of being silent and silent, which Holmes praised more than once.

Gao Xiang was attracted by the story's characters.

This "Sherlock Holmes" is also a detective crime-solving theme.

The previous "Detective Conan" was very popular and has been serialized with very good sales.

Originally, the comics of "Detective Conan" were serialized comics only for teenagers. During the confrontation between the North and the South, this comic also defeated the southern magazines and became the sales champion.

However, as the popularity of comics gradually increases, readers are no longer limited to teenagers.

More and more adults like "Detective Conan".

Gao Xiang mentally compared Conan and Sherlock Holmes.

Although both of them are extremely smart detectives.

But there are significant differences between the two.

First of all, the way they appear is different.

For Conan, wherever there is a murder, there will be a murder, and for Holmes, wherever there is a murder, there will be Holmes.

Also, Holmes is more about upholding justice, so sometimes he will indulge the criminals.

Conan is more about upholding the law. No matter what reason you commit a crime or what regrettable reasons you have, crime is crime and it is not allowed.

It can be judged from the background of the two works that because Sherlock Holmes and Conan live in different eras, their attitudes towards criminals are slightly different.

Conan lived in an era where the law was more robust, and maybe he was sympathetic, but the law did not allow him to be fair and impartial to criminals.

More often than not, he could only sigh helplessly.

So Gao Xiang likes Sherlock Holmes stories even more.

Rely entirely on personal wisdom and knowledge reserves, and find out the truth with almost no scientific equipment.

Gao Xiang decided to publish it immediately.

...

With Gao Xiang's speed and Yuedu Magazine's execution capabilities, the new book will be available to readers soon.

"Boss, Aimang is writing another detective story this time? Isn't Conan still serializing it over there?"

When Meng Haiyang learned that Aimang had published a new book, he was the first to ask about it, and only found out a title.

Although I don’t know the content, I know just from the title that it is a story about a detective.

It’s not that detectives are bad, it’s just that there’s already a very popular “Detective Conan”, and when Sherlock Holmes comes out, it’s hard for readers not to compare the two characters.

Where there is comparison, there will be differences.

Meng Haiyang is afraid that Aimang's new book will be criticized by readers.

Moreover, he feels that it is best for works on the same theme to end one and then start the second.

If the two volumes are released together, some readers may be diverted.

That's why I came to see Gao Xiang after I found out that Aimang's new book is called "Sherlock Holmes".

Gao Xiang picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. He looked at Meng Haiyang who was roaring in front of him and smiled slightly.

"Why are you still smiling? I'm so excited, but you're still so leisurely."

Aimang's first short story was published by Meng Haiyang. Although the editor-in-chief contacted Aimang directly later, Meng Haiyang still had very deep feelings for Aimang.

"Because I read the content, but you didn't."

Meng Haiyang was speechless.

It is true that he has not read the contents of Aimang's new book.

However, although he has not read the new book, he also understands that novels that are too similar in genre should not be released at the same time, whether they are written by the same author or two writers from the same company.

The same writer is doing it to himself.

Two writers from the same company were at odds with each other.

Anyway, there will definitely be internal friction.

Gao Xiang waved his hand, "No, trust my vision."

While Gao Xiang and Meng Haiyang were talking, news of Aimang's release of a new book had spread online.

"Aimang has released a new book."

""The Sherlock Holmes"? Isn't there already Conan? What the hell is Sherlock Holmes?"

"Could it be that because the sales of "Detective Conan" were good, you started to imitate yourself?"

"Maybe the magazine forced Aimang to write it for performance reasons."

"I won't buy Sherlock Holmes anyway. Wouldn't it be nice to read the comic series?"

...

Because the Golden Tree Awards have very little coverage of the Best Screenplay Award, everyone only pays attention to the actors' awards. At most, they pay attention to which film wins the Best Story Award.

No one cares about the other awards at all.

Even Lu Qing’s award received little media coverage.

It was not reported because it was so unexpected that Lu Qing’s film won Best Animation, and also because many people didn’t know that the Golden Tree Awards also had awards for animated films.

The Best Screenplay award has a similar situation to the Best Animation award.

Lin Yu has not registered any account using the name Aimang.

If it is other screenwriters and writers, they may announce the winning news through their personal accounts.

Book fans will also see the news of the award through social platforms.

But Lin Yu didn't understand this.

Fans have no way of knowing.

Therefore, only a few people know the list of Golden Tree Award winners, and it does not generate much traffic.

But because Aimang released a new book.

Aside from the Golden Tree Award, Aimang is also a very famous writer and screenwriter in the industry.

Entries related to "Sherlock Holmes" immediately became hot searches.

Although Ai Mang won the Golden Tree Award for Best Screenplay, some fans took advantage of the heat to reveal it.

There are pictures and truth, and fans can't believe their eyes.

They were not shocked because Aimang won the award.

It's Aimang's appearance.

"Handsome, so handsome."

"I'll go~ Isn't Aimang an otaku?"

"Isn't it said that all writers are bald?"

"I'm sorry, just because Aimang is so handsome, I decided to believe him. The new book will be very good."

"I'm going to buy "Sherlock Holmes" just for this handsome face."

"Can you raise funds to support Aimang and lock him at home to write a book?"

"With such a handsome face, I have no reason not to support the new book."

"I could only be considered a reader before, but from today on I am a die-hard fan of Aimang."

"Does Aimang have a fan support group? If so, please pull me up."

Female readers were attracted by Aimang's handsome appearance and frantically contributed to the sales of his new books.

Male readers are much calmer.

"What shocked me about Aimang was not his appearance, but his age. He was so young."

"I thought he was a middle-aged man, but I didn't expect him to be a young man."

"So I'm not bald or fat just because I'm not old yet."

"If I write for a few more years, I guess Aimang will also be bald."

"I will wait and see about the new book and buy it if there is a review from a big reviewer."

"Is there any big book buyer who can come out and tell me, please don't bother me if you are a fan."

...

Male readers obviously won't buy a book they don't like just because of Aimang's handsome appearance.

As time goes by, I read more and more books.

Gradually, everyone changed from discussing Aimang's appearance to discussing his new book.

Although the first batch of readers who bought the book had not read the entire book, they had read part of it, and discussions based on the content of "Sherlock Holmes" began to appear on the Internet.

"Is there anyone who hasn't bought the book yet? Buy it quickly."

"I like Conan very much, but that doesn't stop me from liking Sherlock Holmes. They have completely different personalities."

"Oh my God, why would Aimang, who is so good, write two books on the same subject in completely different ways?"

"I suggest you buy it quickly. I don't have time to write a review now. I want to continue reading. I can't give you anything but a good word."

"You talk so much nonsense upstairs, can't you use it to write a book review?"

"If you want to read it, just buy the book yourself. I won't write book reviews for you fake book fans!"

"Yes, if you don't write book reviews for them, real book fans won't care if the book is really good or not and they will buy it."

"Upstairs, you were the one who just said to wait and see first."

"I just wanted to ask, is there anyone who hasn't bought "The Sherlock Holmes"?"

...

Sheng Kong.

"The boss has released a new book and he didn't even tell us." Liu Jiao said with a curl of her lips while holding a set of books.

Zhou Yifan glanced at the set of books that Liu Jiao was holding tightly.

"Bought it yourself?"

Liu Jiao raised her pretty eyebrows, lowered her voice and said with a smile, "It's fine with the boss."

"Is there a possibility that Lin Yu didn't tell you because of this?"

Zhou Yifan turned around and left, heading towards Lin Yu's office.

A minute later, he walked out holding a set of books.

Liu Jiao witnessed the whole process, snorted and pouted.

Lin Yu looked at the remaining sets of books. These were all what he wanted from Gao Xiang, just to deal with Liu Jiao and the others.

Dang Dang Dang.

A tall and beautiful figure stood at the door.

Lin Yu looked up and saw that the person coming was Ou Xiaojuan.

He was a little surprised, but he still took out a set from a pile of books.

"I'm not here to ask for books. If you want support, of course you have to spend money to buy it."

Lin Yu thought it made sense and put the book back again.

Those traitors just now only wanted to steal from him, and they kept saying that they liked his books and if they liked them, they should buy them.

Ou Xiaojuan walked to Lin Yu in a few steps with long legs and sat opposite him.

“Have you read all the comments online?”

Lin Yu shook his head, "No, I don't care."

Of course Ou Xiaojuan knew that Lin Yu didn't care about the news on the Internet, but she just wanted to come over and tell him.

"Everyone is saying that the reason you are not bald now is because you haven't arrived yet. In a few years, you will definitely be a bald, fat otaku."

"Take your trumpet and use it."

Lin Yu said calmly.
