It seems that it can only be explained in this way.

Otherwise Theking would be too scary.

In fact, for "Sherlock Holmes" and "Aurora Brain", I have extremely complicated feelings.

At the beginning, they invited Theking to serialize "Sherlock Holmes" in "Aurora Brain" with the idea of ​​promoting Theking. After all, the champion of Theking World Mystery Competition was selected by their judges. , and their "Aurora Brain" is the holy place in the hearts of mystery writers around the world, and it is the most influential mystery magazine in the world. World-class mystery writers will be proud of their magazine.

Theking was able to serialize it in their magazine, and Theking took advantage.

But what no one expected was that after serializing "Sherlock Holmes", the sales of "Aurora Brain" would reach 1.3 times the previous volume!

This is absolutely an incredible thing for "Aurora Brain", because their "Aurora Brain" magazine has been saturated with users. Almost all readers who love reasoning have subscribed to their magazine, and sales have reached a limit. .

And now, the sales limit record has been broken?

The leaders of Aurora Brain immediately sent people to investigate the cause. As a result, they found out that many people who originally didn’t like mystery novels would be interested in Sherlock Holmes after reading "The Sherlock Holmes". The story is extremely fascinating...

This astonishing discovery made the people in Aurora Brain a little dumbfounded.

It was "Sherlock Holmes" that broke the sales record for many years?

Originally, I thought Theking's writing was pretty good and wanted to raise the other party's international status and use the magazine "Aurora Brain" to spread the readership of the other party. But who knew that Theking actually made a huge contribution to them in the end! ?

In short, Aurora Brain had mixed feelings at this moment.

It feels like you thought your friend didn’t have a car, so you drove your Volkswagen to pick up your friend, hoping to save your friend some taxi fares. As a result, your friend drove out in a Bentley, and when passing by the gas station, he gave you a few dollars. The same as 100 yuan for gas...

"Why is Sherlock Holmes so popular?"

In "Aurora Brain", the works of the three golden giants in the reasoning world have been serialized many times.

The combined influence of these three people can be described as terrifying. The plot is not inferior to "Sherlock Holmes", but they failed to break the record. It was Sherlock Holmes who broke the record, and also made some people who are interested in reasoning Even people who are not interested can watch it with gusto...

In fact, someone in the previous life also raised the same question.

Why is The Sherlock Holmes so popular?

As we all know, Conan Doyle was not the greatest detective novelist in history.

After him came countless more awesome guys: Agatha Christie, Ellery Quinn and John Dixon Carr, who created extraordinary stories, impeccable reasoning and incredible secret rooms; and Gaston Leroux, a playful Frenchman, joined the ranks of masters with "The Mystery of the Yellow House"; there are also Raymond Chandler, Josephine Tey, and George Simnon, who integrated reasoning into Literature; in Japan, the Honkakus, Socialists and Reformists contributed Edogawa Ranpo, Matsumoto Seicho, Yokomori Masashi and countless successors...

If you want, I can take this list from my bed to yours.

But before all this glory, greatness and other things come, we must first remember this famous saying:

All from Sherlock Holmes.

In the list of the top 100 mystery novels in the world voted by the American Mystery Writers Association, the Sherlock Holmes series is well-deservedly ranked first. This already illustrates the problem. Holmes's personality charm is more exciting than the reasoning itself. !

He is proud, but he takes pleasure in sincere praise.

He was also calm, but his eyes were wet in front of the injured Watson.

He rejects love and is not very interested in women, but he does not refuse to show gentlemanly hospitality to women.

In addition, Sherlock Holmes is the only fictional character in the world who has been knighted. For a long time, countless Holmes fans believed that Sherlock Holmes was a real person, not a fictional character.

This is one of the reasons why Holmes never fades.

Luoyang's use of Theking's identity to write "The Sherlock Holmes" was not without purpose. The most important consideration was that the birth of Sherlock Holmes was also related to a certain layout in Luoyang——

Now Sherlock Holmes has taken the market by storm in the UK and the United States.

Japan's Kadokawa Publishing House also moved quickly and cooperated with "Aurora Brain" to publish the Japanese version of "Sherlock Holmes"!

As the world's largest reasoning country, Longguo will naturally not give up "Sherlock Holmes". According to Hua Qi, there are at least fifteen top publishing houses in the country, and they are actively contacting the Longguo branch of "Aurora Brain". Talk about cooperation related to Sherlock Holmes.

"Boss! How about we also contact "Aurora Brain" to ask about Holmes?"

Finally, Hua Qi raised her head and made such a suggestion to Luoyang. Her big eyes were full of desire, and she obviously didn't want to let go of such a piece of fat as "Sherlock Holmes".

The current situation is obvious...

Anyone who wins "Sherlock Holmes" can greatly stimulate sales!

Seeing Hua Qi's serious look, Luoyang couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Liu Qin and Hu Bo really didn't tell Hua Qi that they were Theking's business, otherwise Hua Qi would never have said such things to him.

"Boss, why are you laughing?"

Seeing Luo Yang's smile, Hua Qi said angrily: "Holmes is too heavy. The King is not only very popular in the West, I heard that the Japanese version is also selling very well, and The King is also hugely popular in our Dragon Country. This is starting from It can be seen from the discussion on the Internet that any publishing house in China now wants to win the copyright of "Sherlock Holmes", and of course we have to make some efforts, although in the end we may not be as rich as other publishing houses."

Luoyang held back his laughter: "What do you mean by the rich publishing house?"

Hua Qi curled her lips and said: "It's not Youlong Culture. They have always been wealthy. It is said that they are planning to make a magazine and serialize "Sherlock Holmes" simultaneously with the West. In order to win this masterpiece, they have already offered a sky-high price. I just don’t know why, but the people in Aurora Brain haven’t agreed yet.”

"Of course people from Aurora Brain will not agree."

Luoyang has said hello, so currently no domestic company can get "Sherlock Holmes".

Hua Qi didn't think carefully about the meaning of Luoyang's words, and suddenly said in a depressed tone: "Boss, you probably haven't paid attention to the sales of "Traveling in the Rivers and Lakes" recently. Now that you don't serialize martial arts, Gu Miao has left our Shuimu Culture, and the sales have been I’ve hit rock bottom…”

Step into the Jianghu department.

This department was once the absolute core of Shuimu culture.

But now Luoyang no longer serializes martial arts, and Gu Miao has left again. As a result, "Jianghu" has no writers who can support sales, and it can only become more and more miserable. Although Shuimu Culture is making a lot of money now, seeing the decline of this magazine, Hua Qi It's really unbearable.

Luoyang smiled.

For a year, I used the identity of Theking to set up a chess game just for those few key moves.
