Chapter 81: Third-Rate Writer
But Minakami Yukie had to admit that this man had his own abilities. The sales volume of "White Night Walk" has reached nearly 800,000, and he also won the Naoki Award. He is a super dark horse.
Whether he likes it or not, there will definitely be a place for this person in the publishing world from now on.
As for the book "White Night Journey", he also read it. It was indeed a touching story, but as a reasoning, he didn't appreciate it.
The reason is that this book lacks the most important puzzle-solving link in reasoning. The truth is revealed to readers almost from the beginning. And this book insists on reasoning, which is really disgusting!
For creative reasoning, creating tricks is the most difficult part. Many writers go to any lengths to avoid the difficulty of creating tricks. For example, some people in the Biange School, in order to reduce the difficulty of creating tricks,
The concept of "hypnotism to kill" was introduced, and this genre gradually became popular.
But even the Transformers still put trickery in a very important position.
The Socialists, on the other hand, simply put trickery in a dispensable position.
The more Yukie Minakami thought about it, the angrier he became. In fact, there are traces of this anger. His work was actually released at the same time as "White Night Walk", and they even held a book signing on the same day.
At that time, Fujiwara Kei went to the wrong floor, and the two of them exchanged a few words. Since the book was not selling well, the autograph session was deserted, so I initially developed a somewhat sympathetic impression of this guy.
Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, the staff would lead the man upstairs. Not long after, Minami Yukie heard huge cheers and applause from the empty second floor.
Damn! So angry!
However, Yukie Minakami still had some qualities of a scholar, so before going home, he also bought a copy of "White Night Journey" and planned to taste it. After reading it, he finally found an outlet for his anger.
A piece of reasoning that is not reasoning, but a piece of shit that sells dog meat over someone else's head. How can it still have the nerve to receive such high praise?
This guy named Sima Keita has no ability to create tricks!
A mystery writer who can't devise tricks, this guy should also be nailed to the pillar of shame in the mystery literary world.
Even if you are nailed to the pillar of shame, it is still the shame of the pillar of shame!
To this end, Yukie Minakami, as a columnist, wrote several critical articles, pointing out that socialist writers headed by Shima Keita might destroy mystery literature. At the same time, he also made a bitter criticism of Shiba Keita himself.
Satire.
"A mystery without wonderful tricks, an author who cannot design a murder method can be made public as a mystery writer. This is a shame for all writers. This book even won the highest award for popular literature. I
I would like to ask the judges of the Naoki Prize, do you encourage this kind of fraud?"
"The reason why this book has been recognized by the market is mostly due to luck. Maybe it's the public's curiosity for novelty, or maybe it's unique in shaping emotions. But in any case, this book cannot be concealed.
The fact that the author Keita Sima is actually just a poor third-rate mystery writer."
"Here, I also want to say something to this Sima Jun: If you really can't devise a good plot, just write about love! It's important to do what you are good at. You know, even a third-rate mystery writer
, it is also very easy to become a first-class romance author. After all, people who watch romance don’t like to use their brains. The hero does not need a motive to fall in love with the heroine, he just needs to bump into each other at the corner of the street with a piece of bread in his mouth.
.”
This article was published in the entertainment section of "Star News" and quickly caused a great sensation in the literary world.
People from all sides came out to join the melee. Some romance authors protested against Minakusa's discriminatory remarks; others agreed with the article's views; some ridiculed Minakusa because he couldn't write a best-selling work, so he only knew how to find fault; and some said that he relied on his
Seniors bully newcomers.
Although the views of this article have caused controversy and there are many voices of criticism. But for the author of any article, he is not afraid of controversy, but afraid of not getting publicity.
Yukie Minakami is little known as a mystery writer, but he has become quite popular as a critic. His book last year even sold thousands more copies because of it.
While Minakami Yukie continued to write articles mocking Keita Shima, he was also preparing a new one. The general design of this new article was also told to the screenwriter. After reading it, the screenwriter found it very interesting and has confirmed that it can be serialized.
When the new one comes out, it will definitely be a big hit... Then let fans of Keita Sima take a good look at what is the charm of reasoning!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hum a song.
At this moment, a young man's face appeared on the TV, and Yuki Minakusa's eyebrows instantly twisted into a knot.
When Kei Fujiwara was lecturing in the seminar, Minami Yukie snorted disdainfully.
I am just a budding writer, so how can I find the courage to teach others?
Yukie Minami became more and more unhappy, thinking that he would write an article to criticize him later and give this new author a beating.
"Nowadays, there is a saying that in socialist reasoning, trickery is dispensable, and that trickery can even be abandoned. This is an unwise statement..."
This statement has become very popular recently, and many authors and critics, including Yukie Minakami, are refuting it. However, I did not expect that as a young leader of the Socialist Party, he would also stand up and oppose this statement.
Minakami Yukie suddenly smiled and thought to himself: You have probably seen my article, and you are also afraid that you will be deprived of your identity as a mystery writer? Well, what kind of mystery writer is an author who cannot write mystery tricks?
Humph, you are quite sensible. Although you can't write any tricks, as long as you are humble and don't be self-righteous in front of us seniors, I can still praise you in the article.
At this time, Kei Fujiwara talked about the Ten Commandments of Reasoning again, claiming that these were the rules that writers in the classical reasoning era abided by.
Yukie Minakami looked down one by one and made a swallowing motion. He also had a certain understanding of classical mystery literature. Fujiwara Kei's statement was indeed true. Mystery originated in the West. In the era when classical mystery literature was prevalent, many works were indeed in harmony with each other.
abide by these laws.
This guy actually summed it up. I have to say that his observation skills are really strong...
Yuki Minakami felt a little disappointed, and not long after, the young man on the TV said again: "But I also understand that for new writers, the design of tricks is the most difficult part of creative reasoning. So I will list them for now.
Some types of tricks for your reference."
As soon as the words came out, Minami Yukie almost spit out a mouthful of wine without laughing.
This person who knows nothing about the sky and the earth, can't even write a good trick, and yet he comes to teach students!
"Identity trick...twin trick..."
"Time's trick..."
"Secret room conspiracy..."
"Poison weapon trick..."
"Legal ruse..."
"Visual trick..."
…
Yukie Minakami had a sarcastic smile on his face, and he thought about writing an article later, so he criticized Keita Shima's performance and ridiculous speech in this documentary. An author who couldn't even write about murder plots actually shamelessly taught
Someone else is writing? You’re laughing your ass off!
But gradually, he couldn't laugh anymore.
He originally thought that Sima Guitai was just picking up people's wisdom, but he didn't expect that what he said was very novel. Some types of tricks were even unheard of and could be called original.
Not only that, he also listed an example for each type of trick he told. Yukie Minami thought he would talk about some tricks that had appeared in other people's lives, but what he didn't expect was that these tricks mentioned by Kei Fujiwara
Example, he had never heard of.
Yukie Minakami's face became increasingly ugly. Could it be that the examples he picked up at his fingertips were all his own creations?
No, it's impossible...
Minakami Yukie shook his head subconsciously, but then, Kei Fujiwara's words on the TV seemed to give him a head start.
With one blow, Minakami Yukie's face instantly turned pale, and the beer can in his hand fell to the ground, leaving white foam on the floor.
"Locked room trick... This type of trick is very common, and it is also a form of trick that readers love very much. Locked room trick is mainly divided into two types: psychological secret room and mechanical secret room, but it can also be combined into one. For example, the psychological secret room is disguised as a secret room.
It becomes a mechanical secret room... Let me give you an example..."
"Asshole! Shut up!" Yukie Minami shouted out of control. I don't know whether it was because of alcohol or anger, but his whole face turned red.
