Rebirth As a Writer In Britain

Chapter 317: Expectations for Sherlock Holmes's story

Once this article by Cyritia was reported, many people held the same view. (Baidu search network update is the fastest and most stable) After all, Kevin has sealed their doubts with his strength again and again.

Since Silitya’s writing style is very good, and many literary media have also reprinted this article, the idea that Kevin’s writing is a sales miracle began to circulate in the British literary world.

This result almost angered Zela from Dehai Publishing House to explode. Since she snatched the publishing rights of Tony Allen's Fengshan work, she thought she could have a big sigh of relief. But now the result is the opposite. This had to make her faint sadness directly transformed into heavy loss.

Now the sales of the three stories of "Harry Potter" have basically stabilized, and Kevin no longer spends too much thought on it, but instead handed it over to Crawford.

As for the "Wenfeng" magazine, after these three issues, he has also serialized the first story of "Sherlock Holmes", "The Study of Blood Characters".

This story has been madly sought after by the majority of detective fiction fans since the first issue of the serialization. Therefore, the number of orders for "Wen Feng" in these three periods is also the highest of any magazine in the UK, which directly ditched the huge sales of previous magazines. Ba "Youth Literature" and "English Literature".

Therefore, Kevin can be described as two-sided and exquisite lately, and each one is blooming. This also made his Sihua Culture Co., Ltd. completely famous in the British cultural circle. After all, it is rare to publish a best-selling magazine and three best-selling books at the same time.

After the serialization of "The Study of Blood Characters", the detective fans were obviously not happy enough, so they were willing to let Kevin go like this. At this time, they were arguing in the "Wenfeng Forum" that Kevin must be in the next issue. It continues to serialize the story of Holmes.

"Kevin’s detective novels are so wonderful and full of suspense. I like them very much. So, dear Kevin, you must not stop there. Otherwise, I don’t think God will forgive you."

"Kevin, the "Study of Blood Letters" you wrote is great. I really like it. From the beginning, guessing the murderer and guessing the cause of the murder, I felt like I was a detective in the world of the crime. It's a pity. Compared with Holmes, my fake detective is the difference between heaven and earth."

"Kevin's detective novels are very good, I really enjoy the feeling of being deeply fascinated. So. Kevin, please be sure to keep writing. We also want to see detective stories about Sherlock Holmes. Please promise us?"

"Yeah, Kevin, we all unanimously call on you to continue serializing the story of Sherlock Holmes. After all, this is a rare detective story in the UK. I like it so much. To put it an exaggeration, since reading Kevin's "Blood" After researching, I realized how **** the detective novels I had read before."

When the person in charge of Wenfeng Magazine's forum management saw these posts and comments, he ran to Kevin's office with excitement, and then told Kevin the details.

When Kevin heard this, he was very happy. He originally planned to start writing the next story of "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes" today. Now that he sees such strong demands from readers, he is completely relieved in his heart.

So, Kevin immediately logged into his account in Wenfeng Forum, and then interacted with readers.

Kevin chose to publish a post in the Wenfeng forum. The name is "The next Sherlock Holmes story is waiting for you".

Kevin said in the post: I am glad to see your expectations for the Sherlock Holmes story. This is also the motivation for my writing. Yes, Holmes is a genius detective I conceived, and it is also my favorite story. So, I think I will not give up writing it, and I also ask my friends to continue to support it.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles" will be a story about Sherlock Holmes. It is also full of excitement and simplicity, so stay tuned.

Alright, see you in the next story.

Yes it is. Kevin intends to serialize Conan Doyle's other Sherlock-related story-"The Hound of Baskerville" in the next story.

"The Hound of Baskerville" is a work completed by Conan Doyle in 1902, and it is also his third long story. The origin of this long story is that Conan Doyle heard a friend telling Dartmoore. Legend, so conceived the magical story of a family being chased by a ghost-like hound. Then Conan Doyle wrote "The Hound of Baskerville".

This work successfully aroused the hope of readers and publishers for the Sherlock Holmes story, so "The Hound of Baskerville" can be regarded as a proof of Conan Doyle's talent.

The publication of "The Hound of Baskerville" caused a sensation in British publishing houses at that time, and people once again saw the madness of the detective story about Holmes. Therefore, Kevin has reason to believe that if such a wonderful story is published in this parallel world of Britain. It will also be loved by readers.

"The Hounds of Baskerville" tells: On a beautiful September morning, the detective Sherlock Holmes received a letter of visit from a doctor named James Mortimer. At 10:30 in the morning, Dr. Mortimer arrived as scheduled, and he brought with him a bundle of mysterious manuscripts from the late Sir Charles Baskerville.

The letter tells the story of Hugo, the ancestor of the Baskerville family more than a hundred years ago? How Baskerville committed crimes and eventually led to his death under the teeth of the legendary and fierce Baskerville hound. Since then, the Baskerville family has been shrouded in the shadow of crimes committed by their ancestors, and the successors of the family patriarch have successively died in strange and terrifying ways.

At first, Holmes was not attracted by the story of Doctor Mortimer, thinking it was just an interesting legend. But as Dr. Mortimer gradually told Holmes about the doubts about the cause of Sir Charles Baskerville’s death, Holmes decided to intervene in the case because he realized that it was not only related to the true cause of death of the late Earl Charles, but also to Basque. The life of Henry Baskerville, the next heir to the Vale Manor, is safe.

Under the ingenious arrangement of Holmes, his loyal partner Dr. Watson accompanied Sir Henry back to Baskerville Manor. During the Baskerville Manor, Dr. Watson encountered all kinds of weird things one after another, such as the miserable cry of women in the middle of the night, the suspicious behavior of the housekeeper Barrymore during the night, and a letter he later discovered that Sir Charles was not completely complete before his death. Fragments of burnt letters, etc.

These many doubts made him fall into the mist. Just when he decided to start to go deep into the tiger to listen to the truth, he unexpectedly encountered Holmes who fell from the sky.

It turns out that Holmes deliberately avoided people's eyes and ears in order to clarify the secret of the terrible hound in the legend and the tragedy that occurred in the Baskerville Manor. Hiding alone in the inaccessible swamps, endure the storm, loneliness and the cold. At this time, the cunning criminal began to be unable to restrain himself, and gradually surfaced, he couldn't wait to kill the fugitive Zeldo wearing the clothes of Sir Henry by mistake. This made Holmes more convinced that his inference was correct.

then. Holmes decisively used Henry to lead the real murderer...

When Kevin watched the story of "The Hound of Baskerville" for the first time, he was also deeply fascinated by the mysteries in the story. For a while, I felt that I was thinking about the plot inside with my whole heart. As for his test scores at that time, his score was a pitiful 30 points.

and so. When Kevin recalled this story again, the memory was still very deep.

There are fifteen chapters in "The Hound of Baskerville". Kevin thought about his decision to serialize the first three chapters, namely "Mr. Sherlock Holmes", "The Curse of Baskerville" and "Mystery." These three chapters are also the beginning of the whole story. He believes that when readers see these three chapters, they will be full of expectation and curiosity about the plot that follows.

In fact, without reading these three chapters, after Kevin published the post "The Next Story of Sherlock Holmes Waiting for You" on the Wenfeng forum, those detective fans were as excited as they were hit by a two-color ball.

"Great, I am really excited to see Kevin publish this post. This means that he will continue to serialize detective stories for us in the magazine. This is the most I want to see. Dear Kevin, come on, I I will continue to recommend your work to friends around me."

"I really didn't expect Kevin to come out and post so soon, which proves that he cares about our ideas. Thank God for letting me meet such a great writer, I think I will support his work just as it is."

"The Hound of the Baskervilles? What kind of story would this be? Kevin, hurry up and serialize it, I'm already full of expectations for it."

"I think this will be a very wonderful story, because I believe in Kevin's ability. He has never let me down. Come on, the best writer in my heart---Kevin."

These people all left their own comments below after seeing Kevin's posts. And the people of "Wenfeng" magazine also very eye-catchingly put Kevin's post on the top of Jiajing.

After all, this is a post posted by the boss of their own company, no matter what type of topic they are, they dare not stay on top.

The first three chapters of "The Hound of the Baskervilles" are not very long, so Kevin quickly finished them.

After writing the next issue of the serial content. Kevin planned to go out for a walk. But as soon as he walked out of the office door, his phone rang. Kevin picked up the phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar phone number.

"Hi! Hello, this is Kevin, may I ask you?" Out of courtesy, Kevin still picked it up.

"Mr. Kevin. Hello, I'm the general manager of Kana Films, you can call me Robertson." The other party was a neutral male voice.

"Oh, esteemed Mr. Robertson, how are you doing?" Kevin asked.

In fact, Kevin had asked this sentence knowingly. After the other party reported that it was the name of the Cana Film Company, he had already guessed it. Yes, "Harry Potter" has published three stories this time. Now the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" have been signed, but the film and television rights of two more stories have not been signed. Get out. Therefore, Kevin believes that the other party must have come for this.

Sure enough, the other party said happily at this time: "That's it. We have read all three of Mr. Kevin's recent magical works. Oh my God, this is simply one of the best magical novels in the world. I think if such an excellent magic novel is adapted into a movie, it will definitely have a very large market."

"Mr. Robertson meant to sign a contract with me for the film and television rights of "Harry Potter"?" Kevin didn't plan to go round at this time, but asked directly.

"Yes, we are very eager. Oh, do you have the film and television rights for the three works of "Harry Potter"?"

Robertson suddenly thought of something, so he immediately asked.

""Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has signed a contract with Crankd Films and Television, and the other two are in, dear Mr. Robertson." Kevin said.

"That would be great. We only need the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Dear Mr. Kevin, do you think we can make an appointment to have a chat?" Robertson said politely on the phone To.

"Of course! But I think you are coming to Edinburgh, because I have a lot of things recently, I guess I can't go away."

Kevin is not at all worried about the issue of film and television copyrights, so he won't go over and negotiate with each other! Anyone who wants the film and television rights of "Harry Potter" should come to Edinburgh to find themselves. They regret it if they are late anyway.

"No problem, as long as Mr. Kevin can agree to chat with us~www.NovelMTL.com~ The location is up to you. Oh, if so, then we will go to Edinburgh tomorrow. What do you think?"

"OK, Edinburgh, this beautiful city, welcomes you warmly." Kevin said.

Therefore, the two parties arranged to meet at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon to discuss the copyright issue of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

Now the "Harry Potter" affairs Kevin has basically been handed over to Crawford to manage, so he has to tell the other party about tomorrow's affairs.

So, after putting down the phone, Kevin called Crawford into his office, and then told him to go with him to meet the people from Cana Films tomorrow.

When Crawford heard that someone wanted to come over to discuss the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", his face also looked particularly happy. After all, if the film and television rights of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" were also sold, then only "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" would remain.

Although I only worked part-time, Crawford watched them get better little by little, and he was solely responsible for following up on these three works. Now that they have such good results, he is of course very happy in his heart. (To be continued.)
