Han Zhou came this time and stayed at Timo's house.
Archangel City has the highest housing prices, and Chen Dayong also lives in Timo's house.
Of course, this is also because Chen Dayong is so good that he can play with Timo.
Timo usually doesn't bother to pay attention to those newcomers who are sent over.
Not all of these people are in the Timo crew, many of them work in other crews of Speedrun.
When he arrived at Timo's residence, Han Zhou sighed that this old guy had made money again.
"He is a Dragon" has already suffered huge losses, and now Timo has bought a mansion in Hollywood.
Of course, not in Beverly Hills.
…
The famous American detective forum, Effinic Forum, is very crowded at this moment.
Many years ago, a man named Effinic felt that detective novels and TV dramas were difficult to find, so he and his friend Valdes set up a forum called Detective Forum.
But later, as the team grew, problems arose.
Because in this world of detectives, there is no groundbreaking work that separates detective fiction from police fiction.
However, when it comes to film and television drama creation, the detective genre is a thankless task.
Police movies can give the audience an adrenaline rush.
Therefore, in detective forums, the police school quickly became the mainstream.
And Valdez is the main force of the police school.
What they believe in is not reasoning, but solving cases.
What they believe in is not the bizarre methods of committing crimes, but the identity of being a police officer.
Some police novels basically do not include any reasoning process, such as those about violent police and playboy police, which are very popular in forums.
Eventually, Effinik and Valdés parted ways and re-established the Effinik Forum.
Today, Effinik is already a sixty-year-old man.
This forum has been in the sewer level for a long time.
Do you know how many sewers there are? The world's famous detective novel writers usually discuss with book fans in this forum.
In any circle that shows any signs of going beyond the circle, it is impossible for authors and readers to discuss in the same forum.
Even on China's Longdian Chinese website, only the book comment section is where authors and readers discuss together. There is no such phenomenon in the writer's backend, forum, or professional forum.
However, having a small circle also has its advantages, that is, once there is any news, it can spread quickly!
Since its update, the "Young Justice Bao" series has been quickly discovered by American detective fans who understand Chinese.
He quickly reposted the concepts of "locked room murder" and "hard-core reasoning" to this forum.
For a moment, the entire forum was shocked!
Finally! Someone finally worked out the systematic rules of detective novels?
And these people are also paying attention to "Shao Bao".
The forum even initiated an activity in which everyone wrote a letter to Fox TV, asking them to introduce the TV series "Young Justice Bao".
It’s a pity that although there are hundreds of thousands of people in this forum, only tens of thousands of them write letters together.
Letters from tens of thousands of people were too few for Fox TV.
The letters that Fokker TV receives every day could fill up an entire room. A year's worth of letters would have to be transported by a train. How could they have the time to take care of the demands of such a small group?
Therefore, an activity was initiated in the forum.
That is, let people in the forum who understand Chinese translate and add subtitles to "Shao Bao".
One episode is updated every ten days.
People in the forum can pay money to reward translators, which can shorten the update intervals.
At first, everyone thought that this job was done out of love.
By the time the first case was over and the second case was halfway through, people on the forum couldn’t hold back any longer and were madly wanting to watch the entire series of Shao Bao.
These people gave tips crazily, and raised enough money for the next 45 episodes in just one day.
The subtitle team was stunned!
The subtitle group had to do nothing after receiving the money, so he invited his classmates to help translate and add subtitles.
As a result, the day after the broadcast of "Shao Bao" on CCTV-1, pirated copies of the entire series with subtitles added appeared on the forum.
Not satisfied with just reading it, writers on the forum began to write their own detective novels based on the gameplay of "Shao Bao".
Recently, writers publish their novels every day.
People in the forum were fascinated by the show.
And today, a shocking piece of news detonated the entire forum like a depth bomb.
《Han Zhou arrives in Los Angeles! 》
Crazy!
The whole forum went crazy!
Everyone was frantically asking the whistleblower whether it was true.
Soon, the whistleblower sent out photos taken from a distance.
"It is reported that Han Zhou and Timothy Pushkin have collaborated on a movie called Twilight. This time Han Zhou came to the United States for the movie. Even his fans didn't know about this, so no one met him at the airport."
After the news was confirmed, everyone on the forum went crazy.
The post with the most comments was posted by a person named James.
"So, in fact, our translation of "Young Man's God" is actually a pirated version. How can we compensate Han Shen?!"
Many netizens are expressing their opinions.
A rich friend in the group said: "I can pay Han to buy the broadcast rights of "Shao Bao" in the United States, and then let everyone watch it for free. Although everyone has already watched it, this can be regarded as compensation."
"Isn't this bad? You're paying for it yourself? That doesn't reflect our sincerity. It would be better if Han Shen wrote a novel. Then we can spend money to buy the novel. I owe Han Shen a book."
"Han Shen has written novels. I bought them all, but they are martial arts novels in Chinese."
"Should we send a representative to have a face-to-face discussion with Han Shen?"
Someone said: "I'm in Los Angeles. I can book the Moore Manor, invite Han Shen to taste the wine, and then discuss this matter."
"That's a good idea. I can provide you with an extended Nata and a Rolls-Royce Phantom."
"Is that so? I can bring a hundred girls from Las Vegas."
"Do you need a red carpet? I want to lay it from Han Shen's residence all the way to Moore Manor."
"You upstairs are going too far!"
"Is that too much? Give me a double layer of mattress. Don't I have money? Sprinkle some rose petals on it, and then arrange a hostess every five meters!"
"Fuck? Is Han Shen that kind of person? Can you guys be a little purer!"
These people are not short of money.
The problem is, detective novels can’t be written just by having money.
In Chinese history, "Three Heroes and Five Gallants" already had the prototype of a detective novel, but it did not develop into a detective novel.
The development and maturity of detective novels in the West in the past was completely accidental, not inevitable.
At the beginning, detective novels were sewer novels and a genre that received no attention at all.
If I have to say it, it's probably the same as sports novels.
Many people pay attention to sports, but few people pay attention to sports novels.
The turning point of everything was the "Poirot Series".
The author of this novel is known as the mother of detective novels, and the great detective Poirot became the first world-famous detective.
In fact, this author has also written a rather bizarre and unique suspense novel such as "And Then There Were None", which is very well-known.
But it was the personal charm of the great detective Poirot that triggered the complete liberation of the detective novel genre.
The famous "Murder on the Orient Express" is still talked about by many detective fans.
Also, there is the emergence of Sherlock Holmes.
At first, Sherlock Holmes received no attention at all, and the author almost gave up this line of work.
However, this abnormally smart character eventually conquered the book fans.
The two long series of "Poirot" and "Sherlock Holmes", spanning almost a hundred years of history, have gradually cultivated loyal fans of detective novels.
As the market grew, more creators joined in, and then more works attracted more book fans, creating a virtuous circle.
This brought detective novels to their first peak.
This was a success that was purely a matter of luck, not a historical necessity.
In the mid-to-late 20th century, two cousins ​​tried to write detective novels together.
They used the pen name Quinn.
They did not create a famous detective, but their "Country Name Series" became the guide for the development of detective novels to its later peak.
The continuous improvement of the status of cunning, tricks, and murder methods is their achievement.
This kind of thing is completely random.
To give a very simple example, if Conan Doyle's "A Study in Scarlet" had been rejected one more time after being rejected so many times, perhaps the detective novel would have been doomed.
For example, after Conan Doyle's manuscript was rejected, he did not continue to submit "A Study in Scarlet" but instead wrote "The Lost World" first and became a well-known science fiction writer. In this case, Sherlock Holmes was stillborn.
For example, the one of the Quinn brothers who did not have otitis media ran out to have fun instead of staying at home to read the Sherlock Holmes novel given to him by his aunt. The detective novel was a kind of literature that was popular in the last century and then disappeared.
For example, if Agatha, the author of "Poirot", had a slightly better musical talent, she might have become a performer, and the detective novel would have been stillborn.
And in this world, or it can be said that Agatha in this world, may have a good musical talent and became a violinist.
The Conan Doyle of this world quickly transformed himself into a great science fiction writer after his failure.
The Quinn brothers in this world successfully became famous screenwriters and never touched the job of writing novels again.
I don’t know if there is a problem in any link or if there are problems in all three links. Anyway, the level of development of mystery novels in this world is extremely low.
Although "Shao Bao" is a TV series, it is currently the pinnacle of detective literature in this world.
After all, "Shao Bao" also has a script, and a script is literature.
These people discussed in the forum and mobilized people to search for Han Zhou in Archangel City.
Finally, a day later, someone found Han Zhou.
《Han God appeared in Palm Bay! ! 》
A large number of nearby forum users, from Archangel City, Las Vegas, and Golden State, all set off for Palm Bay.
…
Palm Bay.
Timo smiled brightly: "Mr. Turgenev, this is Mr. Han Zhou."
Yuri Turgenev does not look like a big shot in this field at all. Instead, he looks like an athlete. He is not strong, but very well-proportioned and looks very elegant. His dress makes him look like a big businessman, without the gloomy aura of the Wall Street tycoons.
Yuri Turgenev smiled and said, "Just call me Yuri."
Han Zhou extended his hand: "Hello, Yuri."
After the two shook hands, Han Zhou said directly: "Timo invited me to write this script, you can take a look."
"But there is one thing, we don't accept your investment."
Yuri, who had just taken the computer, stopped and looked up at Han Zhou.
Timo laughed awkwardly, nudged Han Zhou with his elbow, and whispered: "You don't want to live anymore..."
Han Zhou is not Teemo.
Teemo is a loner and is very afraid of this kind of person.
Han Zhou was not afraid.
Yuri turned on the computer: "Read the script first."
Yuri took a look and felt a headache: "This is different from the novel, I don't quite understand it."
Timo volunteered: "Let me tell you."
Timo's vivid narration is much easier to understand than the boring script.
The more he listened to the plot, the more surprised Yuri became.
At first he was surprised that the protagonist was also named Yuri and was also a second-rate person.
Later, I was surprised at how familiar all the little stories in the script seemed.
Isn’t this what happened to me and some of my colleagues?
Soon, Timo had been explaining for a full hour.
After listening, Yuri closed his eyes, thought carefully, and then opened his eyes: "Just shoot it according to this. I will give you whatever resources you want."
Han Zhou: "Weapons, we need props."
“But we don’t accept your investment.”
“The reasons are already in the script.”
Yuri laughed, then nodded: "Okay, I need a movie, but I'm not short of money, so it's okay if I don't invest."
"Anything else you want?"
Han Zhou: "We need an actor of the best actor level to play the leading role."
Yuri waved his hand and a bald man wearing sunglasses walked over.
Yuri looked up and said something.
The bald man whispered something again.
After the conversation, Yuri looked at Han Zhou and said, "There are three movie kings in Hollywood who owe me a lot of debt. I can pick any of them."
Han Zhou was surprised: "You're still doing this?"
Yuri smiled. "Just some extra money."
Han Zhou took a look at the information sent by Yuri.
Wow, three Best Actor winners, all of them are top-notch winners, three Oscar winners are pretty good.
Pick any one of them and you can handle this role.
However, Han Zhou chose the one with a long face because he looked most like Cage.
It is more convenient to shoot and it feels good.
Han Zhou: "Can people come over anytime? I have a month to shoot this movie."
Yuri was stunned: "Can you make a movie in a month?"
Han Zhou: "In one month, a war is over, and the King of War will only take one month."
Yuri smiled and said, "I like to watch it. Okay, the personnel will be in place within three days."
"The shooting will start in three days."
“You need those scenes?”
Han Zhou listed a lot of them.
Scenes across almost the entire world.
Mainly Africa, Eastern Europe, and the United States.
Yuri: "I will contact the people at the filming location, you can just go and shoot directly, I will be responsible for safety."
"But if you want to film this, you may need to report it to other countries. After all, if you use so many weapons, you might be misunderstood and get bombed."
Han Zhou: "Bombing? Can we stop filming?"
Yuri: "Haha, just a joke, it's not that serious."
Han Zhou smiled and said, "You have a good sense of humor."
Yuri: "I recently came up with a new joke."
Han Zhou and Timo were both listening.
Yuri: "At the entrance to heaven, many teenagers were protesting because the administrators let a school shooter into heaven instead of letting them in. They angrily asked why. The administrators told them that there were too many teenagers in heaven recently."
Teemo couldn't laugh at this double heaven and hell joke.
Han Zhou didn't find it that funny, but when he remembered that this was the United States, it seemed that Yuri had a very good sense of humor.
As they were chatting, the bald man came over and whispered something.
Yuri put on sunglasses and a hat and said, "Han, your fans are here. There are a lot of people and a lot of shots. It's not convenient for me to appear on camera, so you have to deal with them."
Han Zhou: "Deal with them?" Han Zhou looked at the thing on Yuri's waist.
Yuri pulled his clothes to cover the guy: "That's not the solution. We should send them away."
Han Zhou stood up and walked outside the manor.
The large crowds blocked the roads.
Lots of cars parked nearby.
Some people stood on the car and cheered.
More people were holding signs, all kinds of signs.
Han Zhou looked confused.
What is "The Young Bao God"?
What does "Han God" mean?
There are also some slogans saying things like 'sharp pen', 'sharp knife', 'The male sun book'. What are those?
What the hell is this?
Are these fans?
As soon as Han Zhou came out, he could not hear anything at all. He could not hear what those people who shouted these words were saying at all.
Because the screaming was too loud?
The security of the manor tried their best to stop the crowd, but they were still pushed back step by step.
What arms dealer? Even if the god of death comes to stop me, I will push you down.
Han Zhou pressed his hand, signaling the crowd to be quiet.
The scene was indeed completely silent.
Han Zhou then spoke: "Do you want me to sing a song?"
Someone at the scene cheered: "Good!"
Then the people who started the commotion were pinned down and beaten.
Han Zhou took a look and wondered what was going on. Are these people my fans?
The crowd dispersed at this point.
The two teams of blonde beauties, who were wearing extremely tight clothes, walked out from the cleared path with smiles on their faces.
Then stand on both sides of the road.
Everyone else made way.
Three men came out.
A middle-aged man and a young man, both wearing suits, and the other wearing a woolen sweater.
The youngest of the three stepped forward and said in broken Chinese: "Dear Han Zhou, we invite you to taste our feet at Moor Manor."
Han Zhou retreated tactically: "That's not necessary!!!"
The young man scratched his head and repeated it in English.
Han Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Next time, just speak English directly. There's no need to speak Mandarin!"
After Timo came out, he looked at so many people and was confused: "What's going on?"
Han Zhou shrugged: "I don't know."
Timo was stunned when he saw the young man in the lead, and whispered: "Dalph, this man is a very rich man."
Han Zhou: "How rich?"
Timo: " The inheritance his father left him is a farm in the central part of the country, which is the size of eight Angel Cities."
Archangel City is a super large county town, a sprawling city.
Eight farms the size of Angel City?
No wonder it is so famous.
Timo: "This guy inherited a fortune and came to Archangel City. He invested in the cultural industry and has been in the spotlight recently. He is a serious businessman."
Han Zhou understood that there was nothing wrong with the identities of these people; at least they were not criminals.
Han Zhou looked at Darf: "Why did you invite me to wine tasting?"
The middle-aged man next to him: "Mr. Han Zhou, actually... we want to have a conversation with you, and by the way..."
The guy in the wool sweater next to him saw that he was stuttering and interrupted him directly: "We want to talk to you about buying the copyright of "Young Justice Bao"."
Han Zhou still didn't understand what "The Young Bao God" was.
Young god of boom? What the hell?
Is there such a work in the New World?
"Hmm? What work?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the people at the scene changed.
Many people were whispering to each other.
"Oops, Han Shen doesn't care about the work "Shao Bao" at all."
"It seems that Han Shen will not write detective novels anymore."
"It's over. I'm dead now."
"Oh! Oh God! Why did I have to see the missing bag and then lose my hope of being a detective!"
Young Dalph: "Mr. Han Zhou, even if the deal doesn't go through, we still hope you can come to Moor Manor to have some fun."
"I have rented the entire Moore Manor and am only receiving you now."
"We have flown in a lot of fine wine from Western Europe, mussels from the Mediterranean, green clams from the North Sea, tuna from Canada, and fruit from South America."
"I know that Chinese people love to eat. We found the best ingredients and invited chefs from France and Italy, as well as bartenders from Spain, and also..."
Han Zhou: "Stop, you want to treat me to a meal, right?"
It’s a waste if you don’t eat it.
"Okay, fine."
The crowd made way.
A Rolls-Royce and a stretched Nata stopped.
Dalph: "Do you mind if there are a lot of girls in the car?"
"If you want it, then go for the extended Nata, if not, then go for this Rolls-Royce."
Han Zhou was very confused. What was going on?
Are American fans so rich? Can they get a discount?
What’s the point of all these bells and whistles?
Timo was very happy: "Of course it's the extended Nata!"
Han Zhou: "We have a car. You drive and we follow?"
Teemo: “…”
There were more than three cars in the convoy, a large number of cars, setting off together.
Soon, when Han Zhou arrived at the Moor Manor, he found that a large number of tents had been erected outside the Moor Manor.
These people who came with the car actually came here to set up tents. What are they doing?
Getting off the car again, Han Zhou saw a huge sign at the entrance of the Moomin Valley.
"Welcome Han Zhou, the world's master of detective literature."
The case was solved, it turns out these were not fans of the song, but detective fans.
So... "The young Bao God" is the translation of "Young Justice Bao"?
So...'The male sun book', could it be what Gongsun Ce meant?
Who the hell translated this?
After Han Zhou figured out the situation, it became much easier for him to talk to them.
Han Zhou also figured out the identities of the three people.
The middle-aged man is the famous detective novelist Charles.
The young man in the woolen sweater is the grandson , and his name is Effinike III. Of course, these are all pen names.
Here, a group of people were entertaining Han Zhou crazily.
On the other side, in the forum, a discordant voice arose.
"I don't know what you were thinking, going to lick a Chinese guy's ass."
"What about 'locked room murder' and 'honest reasoning'? They just look like a system, but in reality they are just a kind of shackles."
"Will he write a novel? What are you expecting?"
Here, Darf patted his chest and said, "There are hundreds of thousands of people in our forum, and everyone is your fan. As long as Han Shen writes a detective novel, we will all have one!"
"Have you ever written an English novel? If not, you can write it in Chinese and I will find the best translator in the world to translate it."
"Everyone in our forum should buy one set of the Chinese and English versions!"
Han Zhou's eyes lit up. Is this true?
Hundreds of thousands of people are hungry and ready to pay for books?
Darf turned on his phone and said, "We really didn't lie to you. Please read the forum."
Then, I saw the post “What a bullshit orthodox reasoning, what a bullshit trick, it’s just a clown’s red nose.”
Darf instantly locked his phone: "Maybe I entered the wrong forum. I opened it the wrong way. I'll try again."
Open again.
"I, Bansko, am the best detective novelist in the world. What Han Zhou is, is nothing."
Darf was furious: "Fuck, is there no one managing this post? How could there be such a post? Block him!"
Effinik reminded: "Banksy is the highest-ranking author on our forum and he is also one of the forum administrators."
Han Zhou: "It's interesting, click it and take a look."
Although Darf didn't want to watch it, Han Zhou wanted to watch it, so he had no choice but to click it.
In Darf's opinion, opening a post that slandered the God of Han on his mobile phone was an insult to his own personality. It was his poor hospitality and lack of etiquette. Darf had equated his hospitality with "a stupid mistake made by a barbarian."
After clicking on the post, Han Zhou understood it after reading only three paragraphs.
Banks must be unconvinced because before, he was admired by everyone and was the best detective novelist.
Recently, he has researched a new story, written a new book, and is preparing to make a fortune.
Finally, Han Zhou appeared.
However, based on these words alone, it is difficult to judge whether he is really unconvinced or just wants to make trouble.
But no matter which one it is, it doesn’t matter.
In Han Zhou’s opinion, it has nothing to do with the world. A good work is a good work, and a bad work is a bad work.
It is impossible to regard a work with a score of 59 as a masterpiece just because works with a score of 100 or even qualified works have disappeared. It is still essentially unsatisfactory.
“Can I have a look at this new Banksy book?”
"Where can I find it?"
Dalph laughed awkwardly: "My publishing house is printing it, and my sales system is selling it."
Han Zhou raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Your publishing house and sales system?"
Dalff: "I have distribution channels throughout the West, and I can cover two-thirds of the blocks in the East. I also have channels in major cities in major countries across Europe."
Han Zhou laughed when he heard this.
"So if I write an English novel, how long will it take you to publish it? I mean, a million copies."
Dalph: "We can publish the books whenever we get them."
"I have one hundred reviewers checking for typos and one hundred typesetters doing the typeset work. It takes at most two hours to get the typeset work done. With my production line, we can ship the product in one day."
“It can reach the entire United States in 48 hours, and it can reach every bookstore and newsagent in Europe in 72 hours.”
"Really?" Han Zhou: "Then give me a room."
Dalph: “Huh!?”
Han Zhou: "One day, write one book first, and then write another book two days later."
Dalph: “???”
"One day? A book... a short story? That's fine. With your level, Mr. Han, a short story is enough to deal with Banks."
Han Zhou: "A medium or long novel? Let the news spread. Banks is challenging me to a duel. How can I not respond?"
The arena is already set up, and the world's best swordsman is the one who takes the initiative to challenge the up-and-coming talent.
Once Han Zhou accepts the challenge, it will become a matter of global attention in the detective fiction community.
Although there are only a few people in this group in the world, this is indeed a good way for Han Zhou to enter the circle in English novels.
Dalph and the other two were dumbfounded.
What the hell? Writing a novel in one day?
Ah, this world is really crazy. We are hallucinating, right?
While Han Zhou was doing the warm-up exercises, Ephnix III pulled Dalph aside and said, "So, is Han Shen... a little abnormal?"
Charles: "I heard from Shao Bao's translator that in China, all of Han Shen's fans know that he is... suspected to be mentally ill."
Darf was worried: "If Han Shen gets sick in my territory... How can I explain it to all those forum friends?!"
Han Zhou had already prepared his warm-up exercises and started to work.
How many words are there in Murder on the Orient Express? 120,000? I finished it in one day.
How many words were there in And Then There Were None? 170,000? I wrote and rested at the same time, and finished it in three days.
It just so happens that the preparation for "Lord of War" takes three days.
I originally came to film "Lord of War" to deal with a problem, but I didn't expect that before dealing with this problem, I had to deal with another problem.
However, although it is dealing with things, producing works is not just dealing with things.
The detective fiction world of this world, prepare to be baptized by tricks and the core of detective fiction, and join the glorious evolution!
