Although the road to the top for "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" was a bit tortuous, Lin Yuan did not feel wronged.
Compared to novels like "The Necklace" that have a twist ending, this type of heartwarming short story really can't create a sensation right away.
If there was one thing that surprised Lin Yuan, it was that he didn't expect that he still had haters...
In the past, there were very few voices criticizing Chu Kuang on the Internet, but this time, just because the new short story did not top the list immediately, many people jumped out to lead the discussion.
Did I do something wrong recently
When Lin Yuan and Jin Mu talked about this, Jin Mu smiled and said:
"No matter how perfect a person is, there will always be haters. There are always some people who will have inexplicable hostility towards people who have nothing to do with them. It's okay for you as a writer, but if you were an artist, it would be cruel. You didn't do anything wrong."
All right.
Lin Yuan didn't really dwell on this matter too much.
Kaneki brought up another topic: "Any ideas for the next movie?"
At this time, the movie "The Tuner" has been taken off the shelves.
The final box office of this movie was 900 million.
However, after the profits were divided among all parties, the amount of money Lin Yuan actually received was only a little over 100 million.
"Let's talk about it later."
Lao Zhou also asked this question, and Lin Yuan also did not give a clear answer. He planned to finish Chu Kuang’s new book first, which is "The Mystery of Roger".
This case happened in a rural area.
There are two wealthy families in this village.
The owner of one of the large families was named Roger, a widower.
The owner of another wealthy family was called Ferrars, and Lin Yuan adopted the name Ferrar.
This is a wealthy widow.
Fra became a widow because she poisoned her husband.
Perhaps because of similar experiences, Roger and Fla developed feelings for each other.
As a result, at the beginning of the story, Fla committed suicide.
Roger knew that because someone had discovered that she had poisoned her husband, Fla had been blackmailed by that person during her lifetime, which might be the direct cause of Fla's suicide.
Roger wants to know who the blackmailer is.
Before committing suicide, Fla left a letter to Roger.
But Roger died before he could finish reading the letter. He was sitting in his study and someone stabbed his neck with a knife...
The story begins from here.
Changing the background is not a hassle.
Lin Yuan didn't need to make too many changes to the characters' names.
Because Blue Star is so big, there are people with all kinds of last names, whether it's Mike, David, or Alice, they are all names on Blue Star.
Especially in Yanzhou, this kind of surname is still very common.
Therefore, Lin Yuan was not worried about the sense of incongruity caused by these Western-like names.
The story's perspective revolves around Doctor Shepard.
Just like many cases in Sherlock Holmes are unfolded through Watson's perspective.
Because Sheppard is a local doctor and knows Roger well, and because of Sheppard's alibi, he becomes Poirot's assistant and helps Poirot investigate Roger's case. From his perspective, he finally witnesses Poirot uncover the truth -
It is worth mentioning that Poirot is the protagonist of "The Mysterious Case of Roger Affair"!
Poirot!
Full name Hercule Poirot.
In Chu Kuang's writing, he can only be called Poirot, after all, it has to be in line with the characteristics of Blue Planet.
I believe that all mystery enthusiasts on earth will be familiar with this name, just like the Sherlock Holmes that everyone knows.
Because the male protagonist in many of Agatha Christie's detective novels is Poirot.
When Poirot died in the book, his death was even featured in the New York Times, which shows how terrible the influence of his character was!
This is a great detective who can be compared with Sherlock Holmes (both are detectives created by mystery writers, and their creators are equally famous)!
And "The Mystery of Roger Affair" is precisely the work that makes readers begin to feel familiar with Poirot.
Poirot was once a policeman, but later he quit his job and became a private detective.
As a result, after solving countless major cases in succession, Poirot became famous all over the world!
He became a frequent guest in newspapers and a super detective in the eyes of the upper class!
Later, Poirot retired and came to the village where "The Mystery of Roger" took place. He was planting pumpkins for fun, but was invited and successfully solved Roger's case.
This case also made Poirot realize that he still loved reasoning, so he came out again.
Stories like "Murder on the Orient Express" were solved after Poirot returned to action.
There is also "Death on the Nile", which was also done by Poirot.
therefore.
Many mystery fans on the planet like to compare Poirot and Sherlock Holmes, and the two debaters keep arguing about who is better.
Such a comparison is of course meaningless.
Because it is like comparing the creators of two characters, Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle, both of whom are the world's three greatest masters of reasoning and have unparalleled status in the industry.
…
Of course Lin Yuan likes Sherlock Holmes, although he no longer remembers the content of "Sherlock Holmes" and has to recall it through the system.
After Lin Yuan gets the customized work, the system is always able to give Lin Yuan many memories about this work, such as the achievements of this work and so on.
at the same time.
Lin Yuan also likes Poirot very much.
He doesn't think he's a scumbag.
In fact, many mystery lovers are like this. They like Sherlock Holmes, Poirot, Marple, Quinn, etc.
Holmes is a person who values evidence the most and likes to analyze the case based on the evidence that has been found.
In addition, Holmes is rather emotional and not good at dealing with people.
But unlike the handsome Sherlock Holmes.
Poirot is a lovely old man, an outdated old gentleman who has a poor ability to accept new things. What he trusts most is the gray cells in his mind.
Moreover, he focuses on analyzing the case and understanding human nature.
Although he is arrogant, he is kind, particularly good at dealing with people, and can get along with everyone and get along well with women.
So the biggest difference between Holmes and Poirot, of course, is their respective distinctive characteristics.
Poirot has an ordinary appearance, about 1.6 meters tall, with a straight and neat mustache on his upper lip.
He has a serious mysophobia (Holmes's house is always messy, which Poirot cannot tolerate)
Poirot always kept himself spotless. He would rather be hit by a bullet than have his clothes stained with dirt.
He also likes symmetry. He chose to live where he lives because the buildings on both sides are symmetrical.
A complete late-stage obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.
Poirot is also very vain. He insists on wearing designer shoes, even in the countryside where other types of footwear are recommended.
He also always wore a perfectly tailored striped suit and vest and an heirloom watch.
In addition, his physical strength is very poor.
Many people laughed at Poirot's appearance, but Poirot didn't mind. He smiled secretly at all the sarcasm, ridicule and frowns.
He is the world-class detective Poirot!
If the world wants to accept him, they must accept him completely, including his appearance and personality!
In detective novels.
Poirot, whose fame is second only to Sherlock Holmes, has gradually been catching up with Sherlock Holmes in the following years on Earth as Ada Chopra's works have been continuously adapted into movies. This is especially true of several of Ada Chopra's most classic masterpieces, in which Poirot is always present.
This is another reason why Lin Yuan was happy to have drawn "The Mystery of Roger":
This novel has Poirot in it!
Lin Yuan is very sure that he will publish more of A-Po's works in the future, and one day, Poirot will become a famous detective on the blue planet!
Therefore, "The Mystery of Roger Affair", as Poirot's first appearance on the blue planet, is particularly important.
This is meaningful to Lin Yuan.
Sooner or later he will move out of Sherlock Holmes, but Poirot's brilliance should not be overshadowed!
After all, he is a world-class private detective as famous as Sherlock Holmes, and he appears in more than 30 of Agatha Christie's novels.
Lin Yuan even thought...
If Poirot was not an old man with a weird personality, but was as talented in both literature and martial arts as Sherlock Holmes, perhaps he would be even more famous
But on second thought, Lin Yuan felt that it was precisely because Poirot was completely different from Sherlock Holmes that he was so popular.
Poirot is Poirot, and Sherlock Holmes is Holmes, they are both household names and unique.
Anyway, when Lin Yuan was writing "The Mystery of Roger Affair", he always felt happy when describing Poirot.
In the book, Shepard says, “If only these walls could talk.”
Poirot's answer is simply a famous scene.
He looked at the walls and touched the various pieces of furniture: "For me, they sometimes speak - whether it's a chair or a table, they always give me some clues."
Poirot likes to say such flirty lines.
What seems like a mess of clues to others, in Poirot's eyes, can always be strung together into a line, forming a clear structure and order, just like his character, an extreme pursuit of order!
certainly.
Poirot's most handsome scene should be at the end of "Murder on the Orient Express", which I will not discuss here.
Lin Yuan was happily writing this new work.
When he wrote the last few chapters of the novel, Lin Yuan felt even happier.
This novel is not Agatha's most traditional mystery, but it has created a unique mystery writing mode -
Grandma is recognized as the strongest mystery creator in the mystery world!
Therefore, the system still likes to play the same tricks, innovate, and do things differently!
Lin Yuan believes that readers will be stunned when they read the ending.
After all, Poirot became famous thanks to "The Mysterious Affair of Roger Affair", and it was from this novel that Agatha Christie's reasoning began to be praised by the outside world.
"By the way..."
After Lin Yuan finished writing the content assigned to him today, he suddenly remembered that he also had a task to help Sun Yaohuo and Jiang Kui get to the front line.
After all, there's only so much time in a year.
And now it is March.
Perhaps after finishing "The Mystery of Roger Affair", he will have to increase the promotion of the two of them, and it would be best if the development of the three vests could go hand in hand.
