I read (no pop-up full text)

  "Murder on the Orient Express" was less than 150,000 words in total. Adding to that, it had been serialized for many days at first to attract readers, and after more than twenty days of serialization, it ended with a conclusion that caused quite a stir.

  At the same time, it also brought up "Peak Magazine".

  Because of the murderer in "Murder on the Orient Express", the truth of this case is really too unbelievable, too hard to imagine.

  As the famous book reviewer said ——

  "Murder on the Orient Express" and "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" each have their own strengths, it's hard to say who is better, but I prefer the writing style of "Murder on the Orient Express", where all the evidence is laid out flat, the reader and the detective know just as much, it's like a competition between the detective in the book and the reader to see who can guess the killer first, this kind of writing I really enjoy, so I had a battle of wits with the detective in the story.

  I, Holmes, have lost this time. I thought I could win once with the newly remolded detective Poirot. I almost read through the evidence listed in "Murder on the Orient Express" ten times. Originally, I was proud to say that I had successfully guessed who the murderer was before Detective Poirot did, and at that time, I was a little complacent, thinking that this case would be like that. I thought I had already imagined the truth of the case complicatedly enough, but when I finished reading "Murder on the Orient Express", I realized how wrong I was! The final truth turned out to be like this!!

  Other detectives often use people's blind spots to arrange one or two accomplices to manufacture some unimaginable murders, but this idea is completely inferior to the idea of our genius writer Su Xichen. If you haven't seen the ending yet and saw this article, I'll mourn for you in silence, but I still have to say it out loud. The murderer of "Murder on the Orient Express" turned out to be twelve people!

  Yes, you didn't see it wrong, there are twelve people, except for the deceased and the detective, everyone in the entire carriage is a murderer!!

  Good heavens!

  "What a crazy reversal, the murderer turned out to be as many as twelve people, and the deceased was a ruthless kidnapper before his death, because the law could not punish him, so these twelve people declared his death sentence by taking the law into their own hands!"

  Another review ——

  "The first twelve knives already named the last twelve culprits, and the crimes committed by the deceased before his death can be said to have been well-deserved. And finally, Poirot's words 'Since I've already given you the answer, please allow me the great honor of announcing my withdrawal from this case.' are thought-provoking. After finishing the ending of 'Murder on the Orient Express', I realized that wanting to compare intelligence with that genius author Su Shiyan is completely arrogant! 'Murder on the Orient Express' is extremely wonderful, and I hope Su Shiyan will write more such brilliant reasoning works instead of drawing cartoons in a muddled way."

  …………

  The outside comments are like a raging fire, Su Ruo Chen and Zhang Chen Hua's "Slam Dunk" is also like a raging fire.

  "Xiao Chen, someone is looking for you. Hurry up and stop dawdling." Su Xichen, who was fully focused on drawing in his room, was interrupted by the voice of his mother, Wei Xin.

  Looking for me? Who is it?

  Generally speaking, there are only two people who will come to his house looking for him. One is his best friend Ma Jun, and the other is the head of the class Li Dongfang. If it's Ma Jun, he'll just walk in, as if it were his own home.

  And if it's Li Dongfang, his mom Wei Xin would say: "Xiao Chen, Wei Xin [Li Dongfang is still the class monitor] has come to play with you."

  But this time it didn't go like that, and there was even an extra sentence: Hurry up and stop dawdling, which made it even stranger. Who exactly was looking for him?

  "Huh? When did I start thinking so much? Can't someone just go out and take a look?" Su Xichen found that his personality had changed quite a bit, if it were before his rebirth, he would never have thought so much.

  In other words, he has become thoughtful and steady, is this a good thing or a bad thing? I heard that some scientist say that thinking too much can accelerate the death of brain cells, so you will die faster.

  There are many people who would rather die than think; in fact, they do so. - Bertrand Russell. Su Xichen highly agrees with this statement and believes that the more famous one is, the more rumors there will be. According to his current situation, he should think carefully before taking every step.

  In the living room, he found a man in his forties wearing a thick woolen windbreaker and a baseball cap that seemed somewhat out of place.

  Su Zhechen met this person for the first time, but he knew him, the devilish director Xu Xin. At first, he became famous by shooting martial arts TV dramas, and then his first film won the Golden Horse Award for Best Film. His filming style is very strange, and he is a true madman. When he was new, he dared to fight with well-known directors who had been established for a long time. Although he lost in the end, he also lost honorably. This Xu Xin is also a workaholic, and when shooting films, he is more crazy than Yu Qiyuan. This is also something that everyone in the entertainment industry knows.

  I should have no connection with this talented director, is he coming to me because of that matter?

  "Hello, screenwriter Su, I'm Xu Xin." Xu Xin introduced himself.

  "Director Xú Xīn is a well-known genius director in the industry, and I've heard of him for a long time, so it's natural that we know each other." Sū Shì Chén got straight to the point "I don't know what Director Xú Xīn has come to me for?"

  "I won't hide it anymore, I'll just say it," Xu Xin said. "After Yu's 'Journey to the West' was successful, CCTV has been preparing for a remake of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', but after Yu announced that he would take a six-month break, they had to re-select a director, and this time the director of the remake of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' is me."

  CCTV is indeed very capable, and the talented director Xu Xin, although he started out filming TV dramas, hasn't filmed one in a long time. Although there isn't an exact classification in the entertainment industry, movie stars have always been considered to be of a higher caliber than TV drama stars, and directors are no exception. As a film director, Xu Xin has already reached great heights, so filming a TV drama again wouldn't be a step backward?

  But it's just that this impossible situation was achieved by CCTV, and there is another point that the jade of "Journey to the West" is in front, if it can't exceed it, it will be considered a failure, but exceeding the record of 4% on the first day and 7% highest ratings is extremely difficult, this difficulty is not less than the pressure of movie box office over 500 million.

  This is a heavy pressure, directing CCTV's heavyweight drama is very good, but this pressure makes many directors hesitant.

  It's not Yu Qiyuan's fault, but rather Su Ximing's script.

  Before "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released, directors in the industry ridiculed Yu Nan for hiring a child as a screenwriter. However, after the film achieved phenomenal success, these same directors sourly said that it was just because they had hired a good screenwriter who wrote a good script.

  The reversal of this front and back is quite big, so the ghostly director Xu Xin came to the door.

  "The script of 'Journey to the West in the Desolate Era' is very good, and it has extended many interesting plots without destroying the original story. I came this time to ask you, Su screenwriter, to be the screenwriter for 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."

  It's indeed as Su Shilei thought, generally speaking, directors are waiting for actors to audition, especially big-name directors like Xu Xin. However, this time it was the opposite, Xu Xin personally came from Beijing to Yang City to invite Su Shilei to be the screenwriter, who has ever received such treatment?

  Although his face was calm, to be honest, Su Rui Chen's heart was still quite gloomy.

  "When will 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' start filming?" Su Xichen asked.

  "Just these one or two months."

  "I'm really sorry, Director Xu Xin. I haven't been able to find time in the past one or two months." Su Shicen said apologetically.

  "Can't find time?"

  "Director Xu Xing, you may not know that I am currently serializing my new detective novel "Murder on the Orient Express" in the magazine "Peak Report", while also preparing for the release of my new book "Ghost Blows Out the Light". Additionally, I am planning to publish a basketball-themed comic book "Slam Dunk Master" within the next one or two months. So, I really don't have any time to spare."

  "People say I, Xu Xin, am a workaholic, but compared to you, I think you're the real workaholic. Serializing reasoning in newspapers, preparing new books, and creating comics - each of these tasks requires full dedication, but you, Scriptwriter Su, are doing all three at the same time! Your efficiency is impressive, no wonder you can finish writing over 60 episodes of a script in just one month."

  Xu Xin thinks that the title of workaholic in the entertainment industry should be given to Su Shi Chen instead, Su Shi Chen's work efficiency is terrifying, but Xu Xin still doesn't know about Su Shi Chen's other identity, if you add another identity as Tian En, this kind of work efficiency would be truly terrifying!!

  "What a pity! I believe that if Su could join the scriptwriting team, this remake of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' would definitely be more assured."

  "Sorry, I really don't have time on my schedule." In fact, even if he had the time, Su Rui Chen would still find other excuses to decline. After all, he wasn't a man of the entertainment industry; he was meant to be a great literary master, not a superstar.

  This kind of direct refusal without good reason is a taboo in interpersonal relationships, so Xu Xin's invitation was also accepted.

  Xu Xin was somewhat regretful that apart from Su Yuechen, he really couldn't find anyone else suitable to script the remake of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

  But Su Shilei suddenly changed the subject "Although I didn't have time to work with Director Xu Xin, but regarding this shoot, I have some suggestions that Director Xu Xin can listen to."

  "What advice?" Yu Qiyuan accepted Su Shichen's suggestion to expose the Honghuang as the main theme of the shoot, which was something that everyone in the industry knew about, so Xu Xin had high expectations for Su Shichen's suggestion.

  "Before I give my suggestions, I'd like to ask Director Xu Xin about the main theme of this remake of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', how do you plan to portray it."

  Xu Xin fell silent for a long time, and after adjusting his language, he said: "In 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms', there is no main character, but there are all kinds of heroic figures. The Martial Saint Guan Yu, the wise and almost magical Zhuge Wu Hou, the hero Cao Cao, etc., these heroic figures are a success point of 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."

  "Also, the heroic deeds in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", such as the Oath of the Peach Garden, The Battle of Red Cliffs, The Rescue of Cao's Camp, and Crossing Five Passes and Slaying Six Generals, make readers yearn for them. Therefore, when remaking the Three Kingdoms, my main goal is to highlight the heroes of the Three Kingdoms and their heroic deeds. I don't know how screenwriter Su intends to do it, after all, I'm not a professional screenwriter and am still a bit unfamiliar with this aspect."

  Xu Xin is called a genius director, and this title is indeed not undeserved. Whether writing books or making movies, you must be clear about one thing: what the audience likes to see. Only when you create something that the audience enjoys watching will you achieve success. Of course, not everyone can be Wong Kar-wai, daring to say "you don't understand art films" at a premiere, and the consequences of saying so are also very severe, with box office results plummeting as well.

  Xu Xin's analysis of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is very thorough, why do people prefer "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" over "Records of the Three Kingdoms"? Why do people prefer to read unofficial histories with low authenticity rather than official histories?

  The reason is that although "Records of the Three Kingdoms" has a high degree of authenticity, its readability is not as high as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Ordinary people are not professional historians and do not make a living from this aspect, so what's the point of having authenticity?

  Watchability is the top priority! The question is, why does "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" have such high watchability? In fact, Xu Xin has already mentioned the reason earlier. It's because the heroes and their stories in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" make people yearn to be heroes, but in reality, they often can't become heroes, so they need to watch movies and TV shows like "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". For example, the five tiger generals in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are extremely famous, but in fact, there is no record of them in "Records of the Three Kingdoms".

  But people just like this kind of dramatic title, the Five Tigers General! What a powerful title, so it can be said that Xu Xin's shooting point is correct.

  "As for the theme of photography, I have some immature suggestions..."
