Entertainment: My knife has made the whole world sad

Chapter 291 The characterization of Sherlock Holmes! !

To sum up the story of The Sign of Four in one sentence, this case tells the story of the greedy officer Sholto, who betrayed his trust and wanted to monopolize the treasure. He was in panic for many years and finally brought disaster to his family.

A box of treasures, four signatures.

After this, this book writes about the test of human nature.

This kind of plot and emotion can be easily understood by readers in modern society, whether it is family affection, friendship or love.

In the face of huge wealth, human greed will be exposed!

…

marvelous……

It's really great.

This Four Signatures is also not long in length. As Li Liyue read it, she couldn't stop admiring it in her heart.

The Four Signs and A Study in Scarlet have many similarities. The first is the overall structure.

The first half tells the story of solving crimes, and the second half tells the stories of many prisoners.

Second, the motivation of each murderer can be written as a pathos emotion that earns sympathy points. This is the signature style of the old thief.

Let’s not talk about distant ones, let’s just talk about “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” which became popular all over Kyushu. Both the upper and lower ghosts in this work have their own tragic stories.

Maybe they are not forgiven because they have done so many evil things, but the audience can sympathize with them.

This empathy is not sympathy, and you also understand why the character in the work behaves like this. Once you empathize, it can be said that all the emotions of the characters in the book are established.

However, compared with A Study in Scarlet, the reason why The Sign of Four was praised by Li Liyue is because the story of this work is very attractive. From the moment Mrs. Merrill found Holmes, the readers were attracted by the story. From the perspective of knowledge, I gradually understood the whole story.

Finally, the old thief reveals all the truth.

This kind of pleasure is difficult to bring about in A Study in Scarlet. A Study in Scarlet gives readers the feeling that they are enjoying themselves, and then it ends so suddenly, and they feel relieved!

Readers are confused.

Is this the end?

There is too little written about the case, and it is too easy for Holmes to solve it.

But The Sign of Four is different. Although it still does not focus all the words on suspense reasoning, it focuses more on the description of the crime story itself of The Sign of Four.

But the excitement of the storyline still makes the audience ignore this point.

There is a plot in it, the one about chasing the murderer on the Thames River, which has made thousands of readers’ blood boil!

“The visual sense is really strong!!”

This is the advantage of the old thief, it is the sense of picture that is difficult for suspense authors to write...

This description made Li Liyue speechless. From this aspect alone, he felt ashamed.

The old thief is a web writer. The most important thing when writing web texts is the sense of picture. He racks his brains to describe it from all aspects.

But the writing method of physical books is different, and the focus of writing my own suspense reasoning works has never been here.

…

When Shota Xiaoxiang finished turning the last page of Four Signatures.

There was sudden silence.

This is not because Xiao Xiangshota thinks the book The Four Signs is so magical, but because the old thief has continued the writing model and writing style of A Study in Scarlet!

The overall structure has not changed at all, but the plot is much more exciting and the sense of immersion is deeper.

Even Xiao Xiangshota had to praise, this is a wonderful work.

It is precisely because of this that Xiaoxiang Shota feels like being slapped in the face, because just a few days ago, Xiaoxiang Shota said in an interview with Yingzhou that this kind of writing method is difficult to work in mystery works. .

But now...

Am I too narrow-minded?

Is it because of this that my works are inferior?

Xiao Xiang shota murmured.

This narrowness does not mean that I publicly expressed my dislike for A Study in Scarlet.

It’s about thinking about my own writing style and whether my writing is too narrow.

Whether the story serves the reasoning or the reasoning serves the story, these two writing modes will present two completely different works. However, before, Shota Xiaoxiang always believed in one style and did not try the other one.

Four Signatures can be regarded as providing a brand new idea, which made Xiao Xiangshota suddenly wake up.

People are like this. When something that goes against your ideas appears, you will reject it for the first time. It is not until you realize at a certain moment that this thing may have some truth that you will think about it carefully.
