I copied my daughter in the parallel world

Chapter 557. 432. New Book Context
Under the dim light, Xiao Youyou slept very soundly. At the same time, Gu Cheng was half leaning on the bedside table, the notebook was spread flat on his lap, and at the same time, the other hand was holding the precious notebook he had just received. Among the Chinese zodiac signs, the pen with the mouse phase.

Now that I have decided on my next book, I chose it as Sherlock Holmes.Then the preparation work in the early stage must be improved. The inspiration is fleeting. If you don’t record it immediately, it will be very difficult to extract these details from the vast memory later.

The reason why the character of Sherlock Holmes can leave his unique figure and firm and inescapable position in the entire history of mystery novels is inseparable from all the cases in series, presenting a collection of works with a complete life history.

Gu Cheng has also thoroughly studied the flow of all Sherlock Holmes cases and the content of each story. Currently, there are a total of 60 cases that can be collected on the market. These 60 cases began when Holmes was 24 years old when he was a fledgling research on scarlet characters. , until the final showdown with his old enemy James Moriarty.

Through one story after another, the whole character is vividly shown from the perspective of Dr. Watson, making people believe that there really exists such a character in the world. Can use any clues to solve one mystery after another, and finally catch the ultimate murderer of the murder.

After excluding these 60 stories, there are naturally various unpublished cases, which have only been mentioned in other detective stories, but the specific process of solving the case and the modus operandi of the crime have not been written, perhaps because of energy Not good, or because of other reasons, what is left to future generations is just one mystery after another.There are also many writers who have followed suit and tried to re-present these cases with their own knowledge, but until Gu Cheng was reborn, he had not heard of anyone who really restored the process of these cases.

Since there are so many talented mystery novels in the previous life, the writers have not completed this huge difficulty, so Gu Cheng has no interest in challenging this century problem.

In his opinion, 60 stories are enough for his own use. Sometimes the most shocking is not perfect, but a little incomplete can make people obsessed and shocked by him.

These 60 stories will be compiled by it into three volumes. The first volume tells the story of Mr. Holmes from his fledgling at the age of 24 to Dr. Watson's marriage. This is also the most exciting of the three volumes. Looking at the puzzles one after another from a different perspective, they were solved by Mr. Holmes.

As for the second volume, the main content is about the memoirs of Mr. Holmes, all the cases he has experienced from the age of 39 to his retirement, and the confrontation with his old enemies.

The main content of the second volume is to tell that Mr. Holmes has become a collector of old books, and he tells his best friend Watson one by one about his own case-solving process through letters.

Through these three times, the character of Mr. Holmes can be portrayed very well, and he has a distinctive personality. I believe that the unique basic deductive method of solving crimes will shock the entire mystery novel world, and at the same time, it is also a part of the writing style of the entire mystery novel world. kind of innovation.

"A Study in Scarlet, Four Signatures, A Scandal in Bohemia, The Redheads, The Identity Case, The Boscombe Valley Mystery."

Gu Cheng arranged the names of the cases one after another from the beginning to the end. When he finished writing all 60 cases, he rubbed his sore wrist and let out a light breath.

"It's really rusty. In the past, even if I wrote three to five thousand words from beginning to end, I wouldn't feel any discomfort. I didn't expect to put down my pen for so many years, and now I just write a few hundred words. , feel so uncomfortable.”

Gu Cheng sighed while massaging his wrist.

If we talk about the changes that technology has brought to people, these changes are changing with each passing day, both good and bad, which largely solve the problem of people's laziness and make life much more convenient.

Let's take writing as an example. Five years ago, there were no such convenient conditions. When Gu Cheng was a reporter, no matter what kind of writing work he had, he did it all by himself. It was precisely this difficult condition. Let him practice a good handwriting.

But until now, it seems that most of the work involving writing is done using computers.Just when he was writing the name of the button, Gu Cheng was surprised to find that he had forgotten how to write many characters, and he had to take out his mobile phone to type the pinyin of the character on the keyboard, and then copy it down.

According to this trend in the future, maybe one day the word really disappears in the long river of history. People may only be able to understand and know how to pinyin most of a word. When they really pick up a pen to write, Instead it was blank.

If that time comes, it will be such a bad situation, but thinking of this, Gu Cheng shakes his head in unreasonable worry. Sociologists will naturally study this kind of thing, and he is just an insignificant person in the social crowd. There is no solution.

And we can't stop the progress of science and technology because of this or that kind of constraints, or clamor to restore social development to the previous state. This is completely a hunger strike because of choking.

Turning his thoughts back to his notebook, the most important thing for Gu Cheng right now is to sort out the order of his writing as soon as possible, so that the next writing work will proceed very smoothly.

It is a very difficult task to translate Sherlock Holmes, a classic masterpiece, into Chinese. There are many things in it that need to be changed to fit the social tradition of Huaguo.

At the very least, the name of Sherlock Holmes needs to be changed. The original Sherlock Holmes did not meet the standards of Chinese people's naming standards at all. Gu Cheng racked his brains and finally came up with a name that is more in line with the native Chinese characters, called Xia Fu.

As for Dr. Watson's name, there is still no need to change it. At the same time, the background of the original UK needs to be changed to the background of the war in Huaguo. Just like the UK, at this time of change from the old to the new, it will stimulate the desire to do evil in people's hearts.

As for the original aristocratic roles and titles, all of them were changed by Gu Cheng to the corresponding official positions in the Republic of China.

Working until 2:00 in the morning, Gu Cheng finally wrote down the whole book by hand. He re-covered the notebook, put the pen on the cap, put it under his pillow, and gave it to his sleeping daughter. After pulling the quilt, he fell asleep with a contented expression.
