The last rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala was in full swing, so Jiang Yuan did not receive the message from Yang Chao.
"Murder on the Orient Express" is officially released. The popularity accumulated through the reading challenge has exploded much more than Yang Chao imagined.
In other words, when the shared reading challenge was launched before, it had already exploded once.
But it was precisely because no readers succeeded in the challenge that the book attracted a large amount of traffic as soon as it was launched.
When Jiang Yuan and other artists who participated in the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal swept the entertainment hot search list, "Murder on the Orient Express" suddenly squeezed out a place among them.
Directly in the form of book title, it has entered the top ten of the hot search list, and its popularity is still soaring.
If it weren't for the fact that the topic appeared on the entertainment list, I would have thought that something big happened on New Year's Eve.
In the world before Jiang Yuan traveled through time, "Murder on the Orient Express" had been published for a long time.
Although it was a very groundbreaking work when it was first published, as later generations of authors imitated and learned from Grandma.
Many readers are already familiar with the entire model before reading, and they regard it more as a mystery classic, less of the explosive surprise.
But in the parallel world of Blue Star, it's very different.
This is the first time that the pattern of everyone being the murderer but one deceased appears.
In addition, no readers completed the shared reading challenge, so once the truth about the ending was revealed, it successfully shocked a large number of readers.
At present, the discussion on "Murder on the Orient Express" is difficult to stop on various social media platforms and mystery forums, and it is very heated.
This is also reflected in book sales, excluding previous pre-orders.
Today, "Murder on the Orient Express" was officially launched for sale on domestic e-commerce platforms. Within an hour, it had already topped the book sales list on each platform.
At the same time, it was also reflected in the physical sales list of domestic new books. "Murder on the Orient Express" was so impressive that it surpassed many new books just after it was released and directly took the real-time monthly top spot on the sales list.
Yang Chao went on social media to see the response to "Murder on the Orient Express" and immediately burst into laughter.
[Damn it, all the murderers, are they so crazy to criticize? Who would have thought of this? 】
[Really awesome, this is creating a new model, right? 】
[I have to say that the devil is in the details. The truth is actually hidden in some seemingly random but important conversations. The layout is so subtle that I didn’t notice it at all before! 】
【A completely shocking reading experience!
】
[The main focus of this reasoning process is smoothness, and the ending is also very tender, so I like it even more.]
[It is a completely subversive work. Every time a new book is published, I have to sigh. The reasoning can be written like this. 】
[There are foreshadowings one by one, without deliberately concealing the truth. The reader and the detective move forward together. The layout is so exquisite that just clarifying the relationship in the last few chapters has killed a lot of brain cells! 】
[The best mystery novel I have read this year! The moment Poirot quits the case, this book is simply a god in my heart!
】

Yang Chao read through the relevant comments and posts one by one. Not only was it popular, but the reputation of the book was also overwhelming.
At the same time, in Xingyuan Entertainment, Deng Ge, who had been following the update all the way, couldn't help but open his mouth after reading the last chapter.
I didn't expect that what Jiang Yuan spoiled for me was actually true.
However, Deng Ge thought about it carefully at that time and felt that this situation was unlikely to occur. He felt that even if such an idea was really made, it would still be a very huge amount of work to complete and form a rigorous structure.
But I didn't expect that it would actually come true.
And it has to be said that Deng Ge was very fond of this novel. Thinking that he could get a limited edition version, he immediately laughed out loud in the recording room.
On the other hand, the mixer who was working on the mixing work was shocked. He thought he was crazy because he worked overtime the day before New Year's Eve.
The popularity of "Murder on the Orient Express" in China has not kept pace with that abroad.
After all, it is still early morning abroad at this time, and only the mystery fans will follow the full version on time.
But it only aroused heated discussions in some special reasoning sections, and more casual readers have not yet woken up.
But at this time, many readers who had read the truth about the ending were so shocked that they still couldn't fall asleep.
At this time, someone finally discovered that several authors including Karl, who had not updated their news for a very long time, actually posted their news online one by one.
Several authors admitted that they could not predict the ending, and expressed their respect and love for this work relatively simply, and made recommendations.
There are also a few authors like Karl who not only made recommendations, but also directly wrote a long paragraph of recommendations.
As the most popular person, it didn’t take long for Karl’s latest news to become a hot post in the early morning, and the number of reads soared.
[Karl: I have to admit that I was shocked by this novel. I was reading it even when there was no update, and I was deeply fascinated.
The first is the shared reading challenge. I tried to read it repeatedly, figure out the details, and try to restore the truth, but obviously failed.
But in the process of reading, I gained a lot of insights...]
Karl's article is very long, and it can be seen that after reading the final truth in the middle of the night, he was indeed very excited.
Not only do I share with readers all the inferences and conjectures I generated while reading.
It even specifically researched and analyzed the patterns of all the murderers in "Murder on the Orient Express", and conducted a dialectical analysis from the perspectives of legal justice and substantive justice.
It is said to be a review, but some parts of it can even be called a short essay.
It is also rare for Karl's fans to see Karl recommending a new book in such a lengthy manner. Some fans even wonder if they got up too early.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is definitely not an ordinary endorsement recommendation if it is so long.
This also made many readers who had not read "Orient Express" decide to buy a copy and read it the next day.
As the reputation and popularity of the new book continue to grow, the ratings of the book on domestic platforms have also been released.
The score was just opened, and with the shocking bonus of the groundbreaking mode, the score was as high as 9.8 points.
At the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge had just finished their last rehearsal and their performance was perfect.
Jiang Yuan only got his cell phone at this time and checked the news reports Yang Chao sent him one by one.
Judging from the feedback from each message, it can be said that we have seen the prelude to a big explosion.
However, Jiang Yuan still did not receive the settlement reminder from the system, which made Jiang Yuan curious and opened the system panel to see what was going on.
After clicking on the system panel and taking a look, I found that there was no relevant settlement information.
But there is an additional 24-hour countdown to the settlement of "Murder on the Orient Express".
Seeing this countdown, Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then became excited again.
Jiang Yuan is not unfamiliar with this model. This has happened to him before when he attended large events.
Generally, settlements with a countdown have one characteristic, that is, the rewards are very rich.
In other words, within 24 hours of the new book being released, there should be other events that will increase the popularity. Jiang Yuan thought about it and couldn't help but look forward to it.
"Eh? Why did you read the spoilers in advance!" Lu Qingge saw Jiang Yuan staring at the phone screen in a daze, so he came over curiously, but he accidentally got the spoilers all over his face.
Only then did Jiang Yuan come back to his senses and looked at the spoiler content on his phone, "I clicked on it by accident."
"But I've made some guesses before, so the impact shouldn't be big." Jiang Yuan added thoughtfully.
When Lu Qingge heard this, he glared at Jiang Yuan angrily. Fortunately, he was prepared to read the follow-up content tonight.
Jiang Yuan noticed the look in Lu Qingge's eyes, thought about it, and felt that the experience was indeed not very good if Lu Qingge's face was exposed like this.
So, he said, "I have a set of official rewards for the same challenge..."
Taking the same measures as he did to Deng Ge, Lu Qingge's face suddenly turned cloudy, "I'm so sorry, what are you going to have for dinner later?"
The topic changed so quickly that Jiang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, and then he also began to think about the philosophical issues of life raised by Lu Qingge.
The night before New Year's Eve, Jiang Yuan, Lu Qingge, and their work teams gathered together for dinner.
As a team's year-end dinner, both Zhang Qing and Lu Qingge's managers felt it was a bit tricky.
Because there was a performance the next day, there was no drinking. Both parties went back to their respective homes and had a dreamless night.
As the sun rises and the moon sets, as Western readers wake up from their sleep and read the final chapter of the truth, they all show a startled expression.
Coupled with the strong recommendations from Carl and others, the popularity of the book soared.
Both bookstores and online platforms are full of conspicuous advertisements.
At the same time, it is not only the fermentation of word-of-mouth among readers, but also the strong recommendation of big-name authors.
Professional novel evaluation agencies have also focused on this book as early as when "Murder on the Orient Express" started the shared reading challenge.
Twelve hours after the book was released, I finally gave my own rating for the book.
Greatbook, a rating agency that has always been famous for its critical reviews, gave "Murder on the Orient Express" an astonishing five-star rating.
This is not just among the group of fans of mystery novels. Anyone who pays attention to literary novels knows the value of this score.
Some readers placed physical orders without even looking at them.
But there are still many readers who click on the rating page of greatbook, check the reasons for recommending this book, and want to see who it is.
Unlike Carl's lengthy comments, greatbook's comments are more concise and clear, going straight to the point.
First of all, I gave the book "Murder on the Orient Express" a four-star rating as a mystery novel.
I think the groundbreaking model, as well as the exquisite description and reasoning structure are worthy of this score.
The real reason for getting five stars is that Jiang Yuan never thought about it when he moved it, and it is consistent with the times.
Indeed, in addition to the exquisite reasoning plots, Grandma's works are related to the era in which she lived and can reflect the characteristics of some eras.
But Jiang Yuan never expected that even though he had moved across a world, the characteristics of this era could actually match him.
Greatbook believes that the kidnapping of Armstrong in "Murder on the Orient Express" coincides with a kidnapping that happened not long ago, and the descriptions of revenge, law, procedural justice and substantive justice appropriately reflect the characteristics of the times to a certain extent.
.
These reasons make it a five-star recommended book that only a few books have read throughout the year.
As soon as this review came out, book sales skyrocketed, and some offline bookstores sold out of the book.
At the same time, not long after the greatbook review was posted, "Murder on the Orient Express" also directly ranked first on the Peninsula.
Although "Murder on the Orient Express" has not yet been released in Korean, it has not been promoted on the peninsula.
But it can be said that the Peninsula media pays close attention to news from Europe and the United States.
I saw a news headline saying that the author of "Murder on the Orient Express" is Asian, and when I saw such a high evaluation, I moved it directly.
Not long after the news was posted, some new posts began to speculate on the possibility that the author had peninsular ancestry.
At the same time, Peninsula's publishing houses and film and television companies also became agitated and paid great attention to "Murder on the Orient Express".
Jiang Yuan only saw the news that "Murder on the Orient Express" had exploded in popularity in the West when he woke up the next morning.
However, when he saw the recommendation saying that it was in line with the characteristics of the times, Jiang Yuan also looked confused and thought that he had also followed suit.
However, despite some mistakes, judging from the results, it is undoubtedly very good.
I looked at the time and saw that there were still about two hours until the system settled.
Jiang Yuan suppressed his mood and clicked on the chat box with Yang Chao. Yang Chao bombarded him with many voice messages in the morning.
After Jiang Yuan converted the text, he put aside the rainbow fart and the known information, and saved a while, but not a single word was left.
But these two days were indeed very happy for Yang Chao. Although he had dared to think about it, "Murder on the Orient Express" still became a hit beyond his expectation.
Jiang Yuan thought for a while, lest Yang Chao get too excited, he should wait for a while before sending "No Survival" to the other party.
At this time, on the Internet, in addition to "Orient Express" maintaining a stable popularity.
The official program of the Spring Festival Gala has also been released.
Instead of the collapse of the roof, Jiang Yuan and Lu Qingge appeared in the middle of the party.
CP fans saw Jiang Yuan’s and Lu Qingge’s names appear together on the program list, and then looked at the performance song names, which matched the red background of the program list.
CP fans looked at it like a wedding invitation, and a related topic came up on the hot search.
At the same time, the time finally passed twelve o'clock, Jiang Yuan rubbed his hands and opened the system, preparing to receive the settlement reward of "Orient Express".
