I am a writer

Chapter 179 Writers Seeking a Breakthrough

Within the group of mystery writers, this extremely niche TT group only has more than 50 members, and nearly half of them are diving.

The entire reasoning circle is small, there is no authoritative official organization, and there are not many activities like other novel circles, so there are really few big things, and everyone is trying to do a little bit of small things.

Group administrator Peng Tao is a book reviewer and a planning editor. He usually does some editing, publishing and promotion of Chinese mystery novels. He is the person who knows the most about mystery novels.

He hesitated for a long time, and finally typed and asked in the group: "You have all read Qin Chuan's "Suspect", what do you think?"

Peng Tao wants to talk to these writers about the new trend of original reasoning. Reasoning is not just as simple as detectives solving crimes, it can be expressed in more forms in novels.

If you can get a little bit of experience from it, maybe you can share a little bit of dividends in the market tide.

Someone just created this kind of good era. If they are unwilling to innovate and stick to their old writing methods, there will still be no progress.

There were replies from other writers in the group soon, and everyone had different ideas.

Song Jie said: "It can be said that it is not a mystery novel that does not resemble reasoning, but I still enjoy reading it. Our old-fashioned plot seems to have been turned upside down. People die, who killed them, and how the killing process was. When I first read it, I couldn't imagine what other tricks and plots Qin Chuan could arrange in a mystery novel."

After he finished typing a paragraph, he was still unsatisfied, and continued to write in the group: "The protagonist appeared on the stage, and the investigation was in progress. My attention was all shifted to the love story in the middle and the academic discussion between the two great gods. However, when I flipped through At the end, when I almost forgot that this is a mystery novel, I suddenly changed my style of writing, and Mr. Qin Chuan told us that this story not only has tricks, but also such a thrilling and terrifying trick! The design is so ingenious that even I It was a real shock.”

"It's amazing! It's really amazing!"

Song Jie is considered a very good mystery writer in China, but he mainly focuses on short stories, and his works can be seen in the collection of short mystery stories over the years.

He has been completely convinced by Qin Chuan and "The Devotion of Suspect X"!

It is simply the light of reasoning that such a phenomenal work can appear!
"I agree with Brother Song. I think the great thing about this book is that it creates a villain who completely overwhelms the detective. We never thought that the murderer would include the detective himself in the trick. This kind of writing requires a lot of effort. A large amount of imaginative copying.” Another writer, Mao Wei, also put forward a new point of view.

No matter what kind of novel, once the characters are drawn alive, no matter how bad it is, it will not be so bad.

Peng Tao couldn't help joining the discussion. He quickly typed on the keyboard with both hands and wrote: "I think Qin Chuan used the villain Shi Hong's scheme in "Suspect X" to put Tang Chuan, who represents the tall image of a traditional detective To the side that I thought was indestructible."

Even if Tang Chuan knew everything, he still had to make a choice.

If he doesn't tell the truth, everything will remain the same; but if he tells the truth, he will destroy everything with his own hands, including himself, and the detective himself will become a sinner.

In the end, no one is a winner!
Ex-husband Fu Jian died, Chen Jing's mother and daughter were separated, two loves were destroyed, a homeless man died innocently, mathematics genius Shi Hongzheng was imprisoned, and Professor Tang Chuan collapsed.

It is extremely rare for a murderer to plot against a detective.

"Actually, after seeing Qin Chuan's writing style, I kind of want to write a different new book. Most of the reasoning books on the market are written for adults, because they will definitely involve murder and crime for their own sake. And sometimes parents feel that it is not suitable for children to watch, and there may be some negative things that affect children and teach them badly. In fact, I am also a father now, and I am wondering whether to wait until my daughter is older. Show her the book I wrote, and the answer is no."

This newly-appeared author has already given some inspiration. Mystery novels can't be limited to the old template, but can put new wine in old bottles, and just innovate.

The reasoning element is actually a high IQ game. If you can really write a novel that teenagers like, the market will definitely welcome it.

"Yes, Mr. Zhao Siheng's idea is very good. I think it is a very good development direction."

"That's right, Lao Zhao is really generous, and this kind of writing status is also revealed to the outside world? Are you not afraid of being written first by others?"

"Brother Zhao, have you started writing yet?"

"Yes, I don't dare to give my books to children. One is that they will find them boring if they don't understand them. The other is that they will be affected."

Zhao Siheng was still a little uncertain about his own thoughts at first, but after hearing that his friends were so sure, he felt much less hesitation.

The juvenile reasoning he wants to write contains mysteries and puzzle solving, but it does not involve murder and crimes that violate the law.The mysteries involved in the story all appear in life. The protagonist wants to explore the stories behind the mysteries. In the final analysis, it still embodies the essence of mystery solving in mystery novels.

At present, I just have such a small idea, and I have not yet come up with an interesting and attractive mystery.

After all, life is ordinary, boring and boring.

After getting used to writing about serial murders and murders in secret rooms, Zhao Siheng felt tired all over his body, and there was no joy in writing.

"Suspect X" is a good start for these writers who want to break through and innovate, so that their unconstrained thinking can be liberated!

There is no need to stick to the old-fashioned stories of mystery novels, as long as the core is still there.

Zhao Siheng proposed a good direction of efforts.

Now the market for juvenile reasoning novels is very broad, and generally speaking, it is profitable.

On a noble note, this kind of reading may be helpful academically and intellectually to young readers.

"I studied Qin Chuan's writing style. His book is good because he makes an addition and a negative. The problem of character creation is easily solved."

In addition, after reading the messages in the group, diver writers also came out to discuss with everyone, hoping to stimulate the spark of creation.

"In the past, the conventional thinking of reasoning was to kill a person. Oh, I must do everything possible to erase my suspicion. It would be best if the person I killed would evaporate without trace. In short, do subtraction and erase the deceased and everything Traces. Qin Chuan did an addition in "Suspect". Killing a person, I just want you to see this person dead. I also know that you suspect me, but you just can't connect me with the murderer. .”

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Everyone is a writer who has been immersed in reasoning for many years. After discussing with each other, many ideas emerged!
"Qin Chuan is really interesting. His book has helped us increase our book sales a lot." Zhao Siheng said suddenly, "This kind of contributing author should draw him into our group to thank him."

If there is no Qin Chuan, suspense mystery novels may continue to slump, and how can they become the most eye-catching category of novels like they are now!
"Seeing the first three quarters, I laughed, can this also be called a suspense mystery novel?"

"After reading the last tenth part, I cried. This is the real suspense reasoning!"
