Chapter 567 - The Acme of a Bestseller
It was late at night, but the people in the study didn't feel sleepy at all, obviously their wrists were sore, which was more tiring than exercising in the gym.
"Since I can't write a book now, and I can't sleep, it's better to take a look at this book in the system and analyze it carefully. ”
It's been a long time since he read the book, and his memory is not very clear, so he simply revisited the English version and the Chinese translation in the savior system, and at the same time thought about how he would make changes if he wanted to write.
The prestige value of the savior system is still increasing, but Zhang Chu's focus is not on this, and he directly uses the off-site help function to connect to the network on the earth, and reads it hungrily.
In the past, he read "The Da Vinci Code" from the perspective of the reader, but now he analyzes it from the perspective of the author, and the final reading experience is completely different due to different perspectives!
First of all, the narrative is very unique, the decryption of the male protagonist Langdon and the female protagonist Sophie is the main line, and the obstruction action of the police, the Catholic Ministry, and Tibin is the three main lines.
With the narrative of multi-perspective transformation flashback, the actions of all the characters at the same time are shown in an all-round way, the plot is extraordinarily compact, and the suspense overlaps, making it impossible to take your eyes off!
For example, Wedge describes the murder of the Louvre curator, and the first chapter writes that Professor Robert Langdon ends abruptly when he sees an extremely horrific photograph, and the perspective changes very quickly.
The second chapter ignores the reader's curiosity, and does not explain what is going on with this photo at all, and shifts his attention to the killer of the side plot, and tells the killer's masochistic penance in thick and color, but does not explain the reason!
Chapter 3 simply shifts the gaze back to Robert Langdon, each of which paradoxically reveals some secrets, while also intermittently throwing out new puzzles.
Until the puzzle of the photo in Chapter 6 is solved in detail, the reader still can't breathe a sigh of relief.
Because there are more mysteries in the story at this time, one suspense after another prompts readers to continue reading!
In fact, the story of the whole article is not unusual, this story about the Holy Grail has actually flooded in Europe and the United States, but Dan Brown has told such a cliché story with a new meaning, which is by no means an easy thing.
If you have seen the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark", one of them is to Indiana Jones to find the Holy Grail, not only Dr. Jones has found it, King Arthur has also looked for it, the Crusaders have found it, the Nazis have looked for it, and then even Harry Potter is looking for the Goblet of Fire, and now it is the turn of the Da Vinci Code to find it.
There are countless stories around the Holy Grail, but most of them are based on the fact that both good and evil are searching for the powerful Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail is protected by a mysterious force, and the burial site is set up with the martial art Miti, which requires great courage and only one to discover. In general, in order to use the Holy Grail correctly, it must also be accompanied by the Ark of the Covenant!
The reason why "The Da Vinci Code" is so popular is because it has successfully sold a large number of gimmicks in European literature and art, such as the mysterious woman who appeared in the famous painting "The Last Supper", such as the self-destructing cipher cylinder designed by Leonardo da Vinci, etc., and there is a gao tide in each chapter of the plot design, and the gao tide is wave after wave, and readers are easy to get high with this rhythm.
After reading this book, many readers will feel that they have experienced an in-depth tour of European culture, history, and art.
On the one hand, they feel that the story is thrilling and dangerous, and on the other hand, they feel that they have increased their knowledge, which makes them satisfy the stimulation of their senses and the high affirmation of their own IQ.
It's no exaggeration to say that The Da Vinci Code is the ultimate bestseller!
Suspense, twists, car chases, murders, beautiful women saving heroes, there is no shortage of everything.
In short, it will give the reader the feeling that they are watching a Hollywood blockbuster, but not just two hours, but days!
The highly controversial theme, the use of best-selling books to break through the academic circle for personal promotion, not only made "The Da Vinci Code" popular, but also brought countless benefits to other writers, TV stations, and news websites.
Various theoretical works have emerged around the world to support and refute it, many of which have also appeared on the bestseller list, and many TV programs have invited experts and scholars in different fields to debate it, and the ratings have increased widely!
In fact, many readers know that this is just a fictional story, but Americans take it seriously, believing that the author is very knowledgeable and that readers learn a lot while reading.
The combination of fiction and reality is actually used in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", although the sense of substitution is very strong, but it has not deceived too many Chinese readers, because this part of the readers has already been experienced and resistant to the story!
Although the United States has always been a gathering place for elites from all walks of life around the world, a single piece of fake news can bluff a group of people, and there is no need to even make up a specific name.
In fact, the general quality of the American people is not higher than that of the people of other countries in the world, and they are often deceived by the viral marketing of Hollywood film companies, and they believe it to be true!
The text is actually simple and neat, even if it describes love, it seems subtle and obscure, there are not too many hot scenes or violent and emotional texts that pursue sensory stimulation, and there is no sensational vulgar and boring content, and there is no obscene or tiao funny scene.
insists on focusing on the story and using the plot to promote the development of the whole story, even if it is a little weak in character building, it is not a big flaw in the eyes of readers.
Because they no longer have time to take care of these shortcomings, they can focus on the content.
"It doesn't just take a lot of writing skills, it's also a lot of accumulation. If it were me, I wouldn't even know what semiotics is, let alone connect all the history, culture, and art of Europe!"
Zhang Chu can only express his admiration, in terms of the writing of best-selling books, this book has really reached the peak level.
Nobel laureates in literature are only superior in literature and artistry, and when it comes to commercial writing, Dan Brown has very few opponents.
Obviously lying on the bed, Zhang Chu's thinking was very active, and he took advantage of the difference in time flow rate in the system to read the Chinese version and the English version in one night.
As a result, I can't get out of bed at all in the morning, and after going to the toilet, I fall back on the bed and continue to sleep, and I won't be able to enjoy such a wonderful return sleep for a few days!
