70. No one survived (Thanks to the 1,500 point reward from Dream Journey) (please vote)
Because Youyou hadn't woken up yet, Sun Ya simply cleaned the dishes and chopsticks again, and then started to work hard on wiping the table and other things. In fact, Gu Cheng had fully recognized her work ability at this time, but in order to avoid any accidents, it would be better to notify me after the probation period has passed.
Seeing that he had nothing to do, Gu Cheng touched his daughter's little face and walked into the study with a satisfied smile.
Open your notebook and visit the news on the Internet.
It has been several days since the new book was released, and more and more readers choose to share their opinions online, mostly praise.
It is rare to see a great mystery novel on the market. The public is still very tolerant. They are looking forward to Gu Cheng's subsequent works. Occasionally, if you have dissatisfied opinions, they will be spontaneously criticized by readers.
Although he did not speak with Yu Qi, he could still read his excitement from the text messages he received occasionally.
The sales volume of this book has exceeded 700,000 copies. This achievement is the best book in the past decade. However, because the momentum at the beginning has been consumed, the sales curve that has been rising has also begun to slowly decline, but it will take less than a month to clear the 1.1 million inventory of the publisher.
With the spontaneous publicity of some readers who buy books, sales may not fluctuate greatly in the future, but they can also continue to increase slowly.
Yu Qi's words meant that he was preparing to print 500,000 copies again after the sales reached 900,000. Gu Cheng was of course happy to see this.
The more you sell, the more royalties you have, and the more free your financial situation will be.
Because Gu Cheng has been holding on to his home, many things are not clear, and his name has been completely heard among the writers. Everyone is surprised by Gu Cheng's age and record, but after buying one in person, he has lost a lot of rumors and sour words.
Literatures are inferior to each other, but when faced with works like "Oriental Express", many writers cannot say anything contrary to their subjective consciousness.
However, there are still many people who are not convinced by Gu Cheng. The market is only so big. Gu Cheng's emergence has invaded the interests of many people. If you sell more, I will sell less. When facing interests, there will always be struggles.
Even if Gu Cheng knew about it, he would not care too much. With the huge cultural gifts of the earth, these people are all prodigal dogs to him. As his works continue to be released, one day they will accept this reality.
After visiting the forum for a while, Gu Cheng turned off the computer with a smile, opened the document, and typed the title of "No one survived".
"Oriental Train" has ended and I have gained a lot. The next book is a great time to accumulate my fame.
After thinking about it, he still felt that his style should not be too fragmented, so he should be cautious in choosing his goals.
"No one survived", which belongs to the same writer as "Oriental Express", officially came into his eyes.
Because it was written by a writer and its style is in line with each other, "No one survived" sold more than 100 million in its previous life. Although there is time to accumulate, it can also be seen that the book's best-selling is also adapted into film, TV, drama, comics, games, etc.
The reason why Gu Cheng has a deep memory of this book is that it comes from the horrifying nursery rhyme "Ten Indian Little Boys". When he first heard this nursery rhyme, he was so scared that he didn't sleep well for several days. This kind of prophetic killing method has also been cited by many novels and has become a classic plot of many mystery novels.
No one survived, and the name is as its name suggests. The ending of this book is that no one is alive. After the storm subsided, only ten corpses were left on the island.
The ten small porcelain statues in the novel are the finishing touch, increasing the rendering of the horror atmosphere.
The truth of the final case still comes from the murderer's self-description. No one has written this way of writing in this world. I believe that writing it will definitely become a very novel way of writing, and it will attract some fans who like horror novels.
However, it is also a challenge for Gu Cheng to write this book in Chinese, because the author has many metaphors in the article, and if it is excluded, the excitement may be greatly reduced.
The nursery rhymes of the Indians in the original text are also a highlight. Gu Cheng's initial idea was to change it to the Miao people in China, which also gave people the feeling of being full of mystery. There are also many works in this world that add a lot of confusion to the Miao people.
Although the project is huge and adaptation is difficult, Gu Cheng is still very confident. This is a good opportunity for him to experience. The final purpose of copying the article is to hope that he can write a popular work. In addition, with Sun Ya helping to see the children, he has more spare time and abundant funds. He can face this with a relaxed mood.
While writing, you open the search engine to check the information. The development of technology can make many things very convenient. You can check a lot of information you need without leaving your home. If it were put in the past, you would not have to borrow a lot of books from the library and search for the knowledge you can use word by word.
Perhaps because he was too involved, Gu Cheng didn't hear his daughter crying for almost an afternoon, and he felt that the whole room was particularly quiet. Sun Ya also came in once or twice in the middle and gave Gu Cheng the lemon tea he made.
Gu Cheng felt that after having a confinement nanny, his life was much more comfortable.
The book "No One Survived" originally had 170,000 words, but after Gu Cheng's Chineseization, many places adapted the reading habits suitable for Chinese people, simplified the language and shortened the names, and may have only 150,000 words finished. However, this is considered qualified and meets the publishing standards.
Gu Cheng also planned to find a publishing house to negotiate and insert ten colorful illustrations into the book, which are ten different porcelain-like villains. I believe that the content of the novel is very appropriate and can make readers worth the trip.
After looking at the number of words under the document, I only wrote 4,000 words in the afternoon. It seemed that this project would take a while. Gu Cheng stretched his waist and made crackling sounds all over his body.
I haven't sat for a long time, so my body felt tired after a long time. I turned off the computer, walked out of the door, planning to relax and move my brain.
“Huh?”
As soon as Gu Cheng opened the door, he saw Sun Ya playing with her daughter in her arms, paced back and forth, and softly sootheing the baby's emotions in her arms. Youyou also looked at her obediently with her face, not crying or making a fuss.
As expected, experienced talents are good at it. My daughter is in Gu Cheng's arms and will cry and twist after a while.
Chapter completed!
