On the Internet.
As more readers learned the news of Holmes' death, the criticism became more and more intense!
Inside the studio.
Jinmu's voice trembled. Although he had expected this scene, he was still a little panicked by the noise:
"The situation is not good. Just now, Blue and Silver Bookstore contacted me and said that their backend phone has been flooded with calls. They want you to change the ending. Some readers are threatening to cancel their subscription to Sherlock Holmes if you don't change the ending, and even stop buying any works published by Blue and Silver Bookstore in the future..."
“Be calm.”
Lin Yuan comforted.
It was just that everyone found it emotionally difficult to accept the fact of Holmes' death for a while.
The dead cannot be resurrected, and it will definitely take time to calm down. It will be fine once everyone has recovered.
Last time when faced with Poirot’s death, didn’t everyone also make a big fuss at the beginning
Didn’t you accept it later
Besides, there is room for this plot.
If all else fails, why not just resurrect Sherlock Holmes
Anyway, that's what the original author Conan Doyle did, so there was The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
But having said that.
Lin Yuan would not resurrect Holmes unless it was absolutely necessary.
It's actually quite good that the novel ends here.
Just because Conan Doyle couldn't withstand the pressure doesn't mean Chu Kuang can't withstand the pressure either.
After all, when it comes to dealing with readers' riots, Conan Doyle is definitely not as experienced as Lin Yuan.
After all, it was the first time for Conan Doyle to face such a situation in his life, but Lin Yuan had experienced it twice.
There is no special reason, just practice makes perfect.
"This time it seems a little different. I feel like everyone's patience with you has reached its limit. Look at the click-through rate and number of comments on these news online. It's obviously more serious than last time..."
Jin Mu showed Lin Yuan the news on the Internet.
"Sherlock Holmes dies, Chu Kuang triggers the third reader riot!"
"Why is Chu Kuang Lao Zei so keen on killing off his popular characters?"
"Time and again, the death of Sherlock Holmes has completely angered Chu Kuang!"
"Deeply mourn the death of Sherlock Holmes: Chu Kuang hurts readers' feelings again!"
"The second greatest detective after Poirot, Sherlock Holmes, is also dead. Is Chu Kuang an angel or a devil?"
"Ten thousand people signed a petition in blood, asking Chu Kuang to change the ending!"
《…》
Click on any news item and you will see endless condemnation, highlighting the public's excitement.
There were also readers clamoring to find Chu Kuang's home address, saying that they were planning to smash the windows or something like that.
"Don't panic, it's a small scene."
Lin Yuan thought this was normal.
You have to know that "The Final Problem" is the ending of the Sherlock Holmes series.
Conan Doyle could not stand the pressure and continued to write "The Empty House", arranging the resurrection of Sherlock Holmes and opening the copy of The Return.
But I have to say that…
The overall plot of the Return section is slightly worse in quality than the previous sections.
That's why Lin Yuan felt that there would be no problem with the ending here.
“Is this a small scene?”
Jinmu was so angry that he jumped up and down, as if someone had stepped on his tail. "Maybe they will really cancel orders on a large scale, and the bookstore can't handle so many readers. In the end, the silver and blue library will be hit hard..."
"Wait a few more days."
Lin Yuan felt that Jinmu was making a fuss out of nothing. The readers' ability to withstand pressure was not that fragile.
"I… "
Jinmu felt so angry when he saw Lin Yuan like this. After all, he was also a fan of Sherlock Holmes!
At this time.
Kaneki's phone rang.
I don’t know what was said on the other end of the phone, but Kaneki’s face suddenly became very ugly.
"What's wrong?"
"See for yourself!"
Kaneki picked up the remote control, turned on the TV in the studio lobby, and changed a channel.
In the live TV footage.
Hundreds of people blocked the entrance of the Silver and Blue Library headquarters, holding huge red banners!
"protest!"
"Resolutely protest!"
"Chu Kuang, old thief, give me back Sherlock Holmes!"
"If you don't change the ending, we'll be stuck here forever!"
"Let Chu Kuang come out and give us an explanation!"
"Don't think that everything will be alright if you can't find his house!"
"I will go on a hunger strike if you don't revive Sherlock Holmes!"
"We're not leaving!"
"… "
These people are excited!
A reporter in front of the camera reports from behind the crowd:
"This is the live broadcast brought to you by Qinzhou Entertainment Weekly. This morning, Chu Kuang's Sherlock Holmes series of novels ushered in the finale. The death of the protagonist Sherlock Holmes triggered a frenzy of riots among countless readers. Ten minutes ago, hundreds of readers began to demonstrate on the street and eventually blocked the gate of the Silver Blue Library, the company Chu Kuang signed with. They demanded that Chu Kuang change the ending. From the live broadcast, you can see that the Silver Blue Library has called the police. A large number of police arrived, but the police were unable to dissuade the excited readers. They claimed that they would stay here until Chu Kuang changed the novel's finale..."
The reporter's expression was exaggerated!
This scene may be something the reporter has never seen before.
Lin Yuan was a little dumbfounded.
It didn't seem to be like this last time.
Why is the plot different this time
Readers blocked the entrance of Silver Blue Library
"This is a big deal."
Jinmu's face turned pale: "There is more news about this matter."
Lin Yuan hesitated.
The readers' reaction has exceeded his expectations. Perhaps, as Kaneki said, the readers' patience has reached its limit
At this time, Lin Yuan's cell phone also rang.
After he answered the phone, Lao Zhou's slightly strange voice came from the other end:
"Come to the company."
"oh."
Lin Yuan glanced at Jin Mu and said, "I'm going to the company."
"You better be careful on the road!"
Jin Mu glanced at the live broadcast with lingering fear: "It would be terrible if the readers knew that you are Chu Kuang!"
“It’s not a big problem.”
The chairman of the company was the only one who knew that he was Chu Kuang, and the chairman had promised to keep the matter confidential.
Twenty minutes later.
Lin Yuan arrived at the company.
As soon as he arrived at the company gate, Lin Yuan was attracted by a car at the door.
This is a brand new black car with an extremely domineering appearance. It is one of the most high-end car brands on Blue Star. It is very conspicuous when parked in front of the company. At first glance, it is a top luxury car worth millions or even tens of millions...
Even Lin Yuan, who knows nothing about cars, can see that this car is extraordinary.
"Envy the fish!"
A voice came from behind.
Lin Yuan turned around and saw the chairman looking at him with a complicated expression: "This is the new car I prepared for you."
Not just the chairman.
Some employees of Xingmang were watching the fun nearby. They were not driven away, but their expressions were somewhat shocked.
There were rumors in the company before that Xianyu robbed the chairman's tea and was arrogant in the company. The chairman would definitely use thundering means to punish Xianyu.
That’s the result
How the hell is this a knock
This is clearly an even greater pampering!
Lin Yuan didn't just stand there stupidly. He opened the car door and took a look at the luxurious decoration inside the car: "Thank you, Chairman, but wasn't my previous car pretty good?"
“This one is different.”
"What's the difference?"
“This car is bulletproof!”
The chairman looked serious, as if he was facing a great enemy, as if the car the company had previously provided for Lin Yuan was in danger of safety:
"As long as there is no heavy weapons attack, you will be absolutely safe sitting inside!"
As he spoke, the chairman stepped forward and patted Lin Yuan's shoulder hard, almost making Lin Yuan fall apart:
"I can only help you up to this point. Hurry up and get in the car, or I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself."
Cut the shot.
In the chairman’s office.
There was a newest issue of Sherlock Holmes on the table, and the last page of the novel was violently torn to pieces by someone...
Lin Yuan:
