Chapter 791 The Last Case

What makes Luoyang's eyes bright is not that he himself can enter the top ten on this list.

Because most of Luoyang's works are not well-known around the world, what really makes Luoyang care about is Theking's identity. He feels that the emergence of Theking is so shocking that he was selected as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by "Authority" magazine. Not difficult!

"Does Theking have any hope of being selected into the top ten?"

Hua Qidao: "The "Authority" magazine's review of this list includes five categories: giants, pioneers, artists, leaders and idols. Teacher Theking belongs to the category of artists just like the boss. His "Sherlock Holmes" is famous all over the world. The book is extremely popular, and he is officially recognized as the number one person in the world of reasoning by "Aurora Brain". In this case, he will not only enter the "Authority" 100 list, but may also be ranked no lower than the boss. "

After saying that, Hua Qi asked strangely: "Why did the boss ask Theking?"

Luoyang said nonsense seriously: "Teacher Theking's "Sherlock Holmes" is still serialized in "Jiang Hu" magazine. Of course I have to care about it. If he is selected, it will also promote the sales of our "Jiang Hu", right?"

"Of course!"

Hua Qi nodded firmly.

Liu Qin and Hu Bo suppressed their laughter. They naturally knew that Luoyang was Teacher Theking. Only poor little Hua Qi was kept in the dark.

Hua Qi was keenly aware of Liu Qin's snickering, and turned her eyes. Liu Qin coughed quickly and said: "Hua Qi, the selection categories for the 100 People List you mentioned include giants, pioneers, artists, leaders and idols. I understand the classification of artists, idols and leaders, but what do giants and pioneers mean?”

“Giants generally refer to entrepreneurs, while pioneers refer to world-class athletes.”

"I see, then each category seems to be able to be divided into twenty people in the end..."

Hua Qi nodded and said: "Yes, you don't have to think about it that much. The results will come out naturally when the time comes. Many people pay attention to this matter every year. Last year, only 20 people from our Dragon Kingdom were selected. I don't know how many will be selected this year. "

"Well, then I'm going to code first."

Luoyang said hello to everyone and entered the study.

———————————————————

Sitting on the chair, Luoyang typed four words on the keyboard: The last case!

Yes, the famous "The Final Case" is the last story in the memoirs of "Sherlock Holmes". Conan Doyle planned to use this story as the finale of "Sherlock Holmes"!

Fu fans will definitely be familiar with the "Last Case Incident"——

In 1893, Conan Doyle, the father of Sherlock Holmes, suddenly began to hate the endless serialization of the story.

He felt that Sherlock Holmes had taken up too much of his time, so he decided to find a way to end the novel. In "The Final Case", he arranged a final battle between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty. In the end, both of them fell into a trap. After the publication of "The Final Case" in Hezhong, the whole world was shocked, triggering the most intense reader backlash in history. Even the author's mother said she could not accept the ending.

The magazine that serialized the series of stories suffered from widespread unsubscriptions, and letters of anger, protest and condemnation flew in like flakes!

Readers expressed their dissatisfaction in various ways. They sent death threats, they smashed the windows of the author's house, and young people at work even put black veils around the brim of their hats to express their condolences. There were even demonstrations of various sizes. Then, under the banner of "Give me back Sherlock Holmes," they lingered in front of the Embassy in the UK.

To many fans, Sherlock Holmes is a real-life British citizen.

And "The Last Case" was a ruthless murder, and they denounced Conan as less than a beast.

Of course, in the end it was due to the protests and expectations of book fans. Conan Doyle finally resurrected the detective in "The Empty House."

In fact, this was not the first time Conan Doyle had thoughts of murder. He had mentioned this evil idea in a letter to his mother before. However, as a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan, the old lady sternly rejected the proposal and saved After asking Holmes once, she replied emphatically: You wouldn't do that! You can't do this! You shouldn't do this! And, Holmes will never die!

It is said that a young female editor cried bitterly on the spot after reading the manuscript.

It is said that the editor-in-chief of the magazine at that time shouted "My God" ten times after reading the manuscript.

Coincidentally, there were actually many incidents similar to this in previous lives. JK Rowling once said personally on a British TV program: "Two important characters in the "Harry Potter" series of novels will die in the last book, and The main character, Harry Potter, may not be immune."

Subsequently, countless British citizens came to Rowling's home and begged Rowling not to kill Harry Potter.

In the end, even the Mayor of London personally came forward and begged her not to do this, because the death of Harry Potter would seriously hurt the hearts of countless children around the world, including his daughter. In the end, Rowling compromised and did not write Harry Potter to death. .

There's also "Transformers."

In 1986, the big movie was released. Optimus Prime, the most classic leader of Transformers, died in battle. When Optimus Prime was seriously injured, some people had an ominous premonition, but everyone was still confident in Optimus Prime. As a result, Optimus Prime died in the end. Many children cried in the cinema at that time, and many people left the cinema immediately and stopped watching. After the movie, the production company's phone was basically bombarded with calls, and the words were basically:

"How could you kill Optimus Prime! How could you make the children so sad!"

Some children even locked themselves in the room and refused to come out. The investors later proved that they had gone too far.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with what the investors did at the time. After all, in order to launch new characters and sell new toys to make money, they never expected that after Optimus Prime died, the ratings of Transformers would drop sharply, and the sales of new toys would also be relatively bleak. In the end, the production team resurrected Optimus Prime in the last few episodes of the third season of Transformers, and made him turn the tide and become the savior, saving the hearts of many people.

Compared with this, the dragon girls and the blade senders are really weak.

But even so, Luoyang still wants to publish "The Last Case". As a pseudo-Fuku fan, it is definitely a pity that he was not able to witness the "Last Case Incident" with his own eyes. Therefore, Luoyang will not delete "The Last Case" from his memoirs. In fact, it is not easy to delete it because this story is still related to the sequel.

Luoyang must admit...

He wants to witness the situation when some immortal works are born with his own eyes.

This is also one of the few pleasures in his long career as a writer.
