"What is the story?"
Luo Wei, who had just completed today's mission in "Food Wars! Shokugeki!", seemed to have heard part of the conversation between Lin Yuan and Kaneki.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Are you talking about Chu Kuang's mystery novel?"
For some reasons, Luo Wei was also very concerned about Chu Kuang.
Even if she didn't read mystery novels, she knew that Chu Kuang had recently come up with a new type of mystery called "narrative weirdness."
"Um."
Jin Mu glanced at Lin Yuan with a smile. He always talked about Chu Kuang under Luo Wei's nose. Sooner or later, his boss would be exposed.
Luo Wei asked curiously, "I don't really understand. What does xugui mean?"
Lin Yuan subconsciously wanted to show the cartoon to Luo Wei, but Jin Mu stopped him, saying that the cartoon was a bit inappropriate.
Lin Yuan understood, so he wrote a new dialogue and gave it to Luo Wei.
Luo Wei saw a conversation written by Lin Yuan:
Xiao Ming, get up and go to school!
Mom, I don't want to go to school anymore, never again...
Why
I don't want to go to class!
But you are a teacher!
Luo Wei burst out laughing: "Xiao Ming is actually a teacher. Isn't this just a word game, just like a brain teaser? I like brain teasers the most..."
"almost."
Lin Yuan nodded. This was also the reason why fans of orthodox mystery naturally resisted narrative subterfuge. For this reason, Lin Yuan could fully understand why the online mystery writer named Leng Guang was so resistant to narrative subterfuge.
The nature of this matter is exactly the same as Li Dan's resistance to puns.
"Anything else? It's quite interesting."
Luo Wei seemed to have developed an interest in the so-called narrative paradox.
She represents another group of people, that is, readers who enjoy the reversals brought about by narrative tricks.
"have."
Lin Yuan wrote another paragraph casually.
This is what he thought of when he went to the bathroom just now.
When I was a kid, my dad always told me to shake after peeing, and I would shake before leaving the toilet every time after peeing. It wasn't until later that I realized that I was the only one who shook after peeing, and other girls used paper to wipe.
Luo Wei chuckled, then her expression froze and she coughed lightly.
It seems like something was exposed
She said in a panic: "I'm off work, I'm going back."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Jin Mu's eyebrows jumped: "So, the boss's new novel is also in this tone?"
Lin Yuan said: "Yes."
Jinmu said faintly: "Readers will send you razor blades."
Just these few jokes made him feel like he was being fooled. What would happen if it was written as a short mystery novel
"I'm just an old thief." Lin Yuan said indifferently.
Jinmu laughed. He seldom saw Lin Yuan showing such a bad taste. He even made it clear that he wanted to trick the readers and wrote several vulgar short stories about narrative weirdness in a row.
But this seems to be a good idea.
Because of the time he had been Lin Yuan's agent, he sometimes had the illusion that Lin Yuan had no emotions.
It seems that this person is too rigid.
Being naughty occasionally is what makes you young.
Thinking of this, Jinmu stood up and said, "Then I will contact the blogger first, register a blog account, and spread the news by the way."
…
The so-called spreading the rumor is advance publicity.
Ordinary writers don’t receive this kind of treatment. There is always a review process, but out of trust in Chu Kuang’s ability, the blog started promoting the story vigorously before even receiving it.
"Chu Kuang's new short story is coming!"
In order to add some gimmicks, the blog also specifically emphasized:
"This will be Chu Kuang's first attempt at a short mystery."
When Lin Yuan saw this advertisement, he hesitated for a moment and did not correct it.
In fact, the "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Collapse" that he customized with the system is quite long, with nearly the number of words in a novella.
However, because there is no strict word count division between short stories, novellas, and even novels, sometimes this definition is vague.
Another thing to mention.
It only cost Lin Yuan 100,000 yuan to customize "Dong Dong Suspension Bridge Falling".
The system means discounts.
Lin Yuan felt that the system was worried that readers would want to break their legs after reading "The Bridge Falls".
result.
The day before the news was released on the blog, the tribe was in an uproar!
"Chu Kuang's new short story is going to be posted on the blog!?"
"A blogger actually stole the tower!?"
"Is Chu Kuang dissatisfied with our tribe?"
"He actually betrayed the tribe!"
"To say that it's betrayal is serious. There were no contractual restrictions in the first place. It's Chu Kuang's freedom to choose which platform he wants to go to. The blog should have spent some money to invite Chu Kuang, but I still feel so depressed."
"… "
The editors of the tribe were very depressed.
Han Jimei, the chief of tribal literature, was also depressed.
She didn't expect the bloggers to be so flexible.
Chu Kuang helped the tribe and destroyed the blog more than once.
As a result, the blogger was not angry, but instead invited Chu Kuang over generously!
All I can say is that there is no stupid capital.
Bloggers also understand this point. If they regard Chu Kuang as an enemy, it is equivalent to pushing Chu Kuang completely into the tribe.
It seems that I will have to work harder to win over Chu Kuang in the future.
Compared to the depression of the tribe.
Readers don’t care which platform Chu Kuang’s new work is released on.
It is enough as long as Chu Kuang is willing to produce new works.
Therefore.
As soon as the blog was promoted, it attracted a lot of attention from Chu Kuang's readers.
Among them are some readers who fell in love with Chu Kuang because of "The Mystery of Roger".
"It's rare that the old thief Chu Kuang is willing to continue writing mystery books."
"Normally, Lao Zei rarely writes the same type of article repeatedly."
"Mystery enthusiasts send congratulatory messages!"
"Unfortunately, it's a short one this time."
"Short reasoning is fine, as long as it's reasoning!"
"Hehe, if old thief Chu Kuang continues to write narrative tricks, I can definitely guess the murderer in advance and slap him in the face!"
"As long as you read the narrative mode once, you can figure out the author's routine."
"I beg Chu Kuang to continue writing narrative mysteries. I will wash away the shame of being fooled by "The Mystery of Roger"!"
"Come on, old thief, as a reader, I want to have a reasoning duel with you!"
"… "
With the emergence of some new narrative works on the Internet, readers are now quite confident and feel that they have thoroughly mastered the routines of narrative.
For this reason, readers unanimously called on Chu Kuang to continue writing narrative mystery novels, and each one was more confident than the other, saying that they could definitely guess the murderer in advance.
Yes.
Everyone wants to slap Chu Kuang in the face!
Isn’t this a coincidence? Chu Kuang’s new work is indeed a narrative mystery.
However, the official has not disclosed this news, and whether it is a weird narrative or not, readers have to see for themselves.
Lin Yuan's movements were still very quick.
Three days later, he modified the background of "The Bridge Collapses", made some interesting settings, and released it through the blog channel.
This day is May 1st.
