You can't.

Do you know Psy? As in Gangnam Style? They tried SO HARD to make comebacks. What did they do wrong? Everything they did after that was a rehashing of Gangnam Style. The cinematography, lighting, even the melody sounded so much like Gangnam Style. I actually liked Psy's previous music but everything after Gangnam Style was just a rehash of the same things over and over again.

They ceased to be original.

Unfortunately, you need to let go of your incredible success. Move on. If you discover the secret that made it successful and reuse it, your fans will call you unoriginal. If they wanted that scene over again, they'd reread your book.

Don't try to repeat your successes. Create something new.

"All men can see the tactics whereby I conquer, but what none can see is the strategy out of which victory is evolved. Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." -- Art of War
