Chapter 71 The Height of Genius
"Hurry up, my flowers will wither when I wait." Han Zang thought of the Landlords he often played in his mind, and the brainwashing sound effects looped endlessly.
He arrived at the exit twenty minutes early, but has been waiting for almost an hour.
When Han Zang was bored, he saw a handsome student wearing gray clothes with a standard hairstyle, which was no longer than his eyebrows, no ears at the sides, and no more than the neck at the back.
Han Zang looked around and saw that this man's eyes were not childish at all, could it be? He had an answer in mind.
"Are you the Korean-Tibetan editor of "The Reasoning of Time"?" Gu Lu saw the sign held by the other party.
"Yes, yes, welcome Xiao Gu...teacher to Bingcheng." Han Zang felt the familiarity of the voice and said hello immediately.
However, Han Zang was still a little uncomfortable calling a high school student face to face as a teacher.
"Thank you, editor Han, I've been waiting for a long time. Although the plane landed on time, the airport is busy and the number of boarding bridges is limited, so our flight has to wait." Gu Lu said.
"It's okay, I didn't wait long," Han Zang said with a smile. He subconsciously reached out to help carry his luggage, but found that the other person was only carrying a small bag, so he had to give up.
"Hey, what about..." Han Zang forgot his words.
"Is there something different between the Korean editor and I imagined?" Gu Lu said, "The Korean editor is pretty much the same as I imagined, with a bookish air."
It turns out that the conversation still depends on high school. Students opened the topic. Old Han Zang blushed and felt the difference in Gu Lu, who spoke very logically.
"There is no bookishness, but there is a lot of nerdiness." Han Zang continued, "I know that Teacher Xiao Gu is very young, but I was still a little shocked when I saw him."
< br>While talking, Han Zang led the way. He must have driven to pick him up from the airport.
Gu Lu looked at the scenery of Bingcheng along the way. It was commonplace to the locals, but it was still quite new to him.
In his previous life, Bingcheng Tourism became popular for a while, but he did not have the conditions at that time. He only had cloud tourism, that is, watching other people’s pictures in the circle of friends.
I never thought that I would be invited now. Gu Lu was very grateful to his original body, so he was ready to give Gu's father a blow on the head and then cut him off.
He specifically checked that minors aged 16 can be regarded as persons with full capacity for civil conduct, and their income can be used as living expenses at their own expense.
"People are like this. When they resolve other people's family disputes, they are very straightforward. In the previous life, I was timid, but after time travel, my brother is the king." Thinking of this, Gu Lu shook his head.
"What mystery works does Mr. Gu like to read?" Han Zang, who was driving, felt bored and suddenly asked.
“Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes series.” Gu Lu said.
“Where is Agatha?” Han Zang asked. After all, it was the 10th anniversary meeting of the AC (Grandma) Forum.
“Grandma, Quin, and Conan are three writers who ushered in the golden age of reasoning. The reason why I prefer Conan Doyle is that Conan Doyle’s books are more suitable for promotion.”
"Huh?" Han Zang asked, "Is it suitable for promotion because it is more famous?"
If there is really a comparison of fame, Grandma and Conan Doyle should be on par.
“It doesn’t involve fame, it’s just writing skills.” Gu Lu said, “The characteristics of Quinn’s and Grandma’s works are to prepare the case from scratch, but Conan Doyle’s writing skills are to first create the characters.”< br>
"Even "A Study in Scarlet" conforms to the most classic novel format." Gu Lu said, "Throw out the contradictions, then throw out the protagonist's uniqueness, and finally the protagonist faces three steps to face the dilemma."< br>
So?
Han Zang recalled that the conflict at the beginning was when Watson questioned the Holmes he had just met, and then Holmes showed the magic of "deductive reasoning", and then he was troubled by the serial murders that left blood letters.
Hanzang can even think further. The other three full-length novels "The Sign of Four", "The Hound of the Baskervilles" and "Uncanny Valley" also start with Sherlock Holmes trying his skills. "If you want to expand the reputation of mystery works, you must make them accessible to readers who are not interested in reasoning," Gu Lu said.
"Based on this standard, it is not Quinn's novel and is the least popular with Teacher Xiao Gu?" Han Zang drew inferences.
Gu Lu agreed, "If a passerby who is not interested in reasoning is given the works of the Quinn brothers, no matter which one they are, it will be difficult to chew on. This is dyslexia."
< br>“Writing skills and stories are best if they are suitable for all people, and other elements can be added as attractions.”
That's right, Gu Lu mentioned the best-seller Keigo Higashino on Earth in his words. His works are very out of the ordinary. Even if he doesn't like to use his brain or read reasoning, he has heard about the suspect and Bai Yexing, right?
What a pity, Gu Lu had Keigo Higashino's "After School" in his hand, but he couldn't use it at all. He could have just replaced it with "Malicious"!
Through the rearview mirror in the car, Han Zang saw that the other party’s eyebrows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about something, so he didn’t bother him anymore.
"No wonder someone of this age can write "Mr. Holmes". It seems that he has a deep knowledge of Sherlock Holmes."
Especially when the other party opened his mouth, he focused on broadening the reputation of mystery novels and making them more famous. You can also look at reasoning, but the perspective is different.
Han Zang himself is twenty-seven years old. When reviewing the manuscript, he just wanted to "give me a shocking mystery", "I also want a stunning answer", and "the motive of the murder should not be guessed by anyone."
The two of them judged each other, and Han Zang felt that he had seen what a genius looked like for the first time, and it was more exaggerated than he imagined.
Arrived at the hotel more than forty minutes later, Han Zang parked the car and asked, "Teacher Xiao Gu, do you want to go back to the room to put things away first, or meet with our editorial department?"
Teacher Gu's scream was very smooth this time.
“Let’s go back to the room first. We should meet at the dinner anyway, right?” Gu Lu said.
"I will send you a message during dinner time." Han Zang said.
Help to check in, Han Zang sent Gu Lu to the elevator and returned to the conference room.
Madiel Hotel was once the most luxurious hotel in Ice City. After several renovations, it is still good and has fully reached the star level.
Gu Lu put these things away and then called President Jian back. The phone was turned off on the flight, so President Jian sent a message and left a message.
"President Jian - it's almost done. It's almost finished." After answering the phone, Gu Lu realized that he was the one urging the manuscript.
"Hahaha," President Jian laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, "How did I hear that our little writer Gu went to participate in the offline author meeting of "The Reasoning of Time"."
It's true. It’s not that President Jian intends to investigate, the main circle is just that big.
"Xiao Gu, it was obviously me who came to request the manuscript first." President Jian said.
“Ahem—it’s really almost finished, and it will take at most half a month.” Gu Lu said. This is true. The main text has been coded, but the illustrations have not yet been completed.
"Two weeks, no problem." President Jian said, "Pay attention to safety when you are out there, and I won't bother you."
After saying that, the other party hung up the phone. Gu Lu took a deep breath, "The Little Prince" must be awesome!
Let’s talk about Korea and Tibet.
"Have you received Teacher Xiao Gu?" Editor Gao asked.
Han Zang nodded, "There are no mistakes."
"How about our youngest contracted writer of "Times Mystery"?" Editor Gao asked.
This question made other editors pay attention. People are very curious.
