Chapter 1064: Kill the Creative
[The Colonel opens the can and finds only a small spoonful of coffee left in the can, he takes the pot from the stove, spills half of the water from the pot on the floor, and then scrapes the last bit of rusty coffee powder from the can into the pot with a knife.] 】
Zhang Chu is like an ordinary customer, if he is curious about a book and wants to buy it, he will turn the first page to see the content, and if the content is attractive enough, he will pay for it.
García Márquez's name should be known to every student, but now the book in his hand is much more niche, but it still makes Zhang Chu read it with relish.
"Boss, your phone is ringing, and the sound is still a little loud...... Zhong Liangping had to walk quickly to Zhang Chu to interrupt the reading, but the ringtone of the mobile phone was very harsh in the quiet bookstore.
Zhang Chu was engrossed in the book before, and he didn't hear his mobile phone ringing at all, but now that the book was not put down, he turned around and ran towards the table inside, and the mobile phone was still in the backpack over there.
This was originally the opening music of a variety show in the United States, which is usually more exciting and atmospheric, but at this time it is an out-and-out noise!
He didn't have time to answer the phone, so he just hung up first, and he had to wait for big things.
Zhang Chu apologized to the customers who looked up and complained without losing an embarrassed smile, and walked outside the bookstore with his mobile phone, changing the ring mode first.
In the past, when he was in school, his mobile phone was in vibration mode by default, but now his summer vacation is not over, so he made such a mistake.
Although the summer in the north is also very hot, as long as it is not directly exposed to the sun, the temperature is at least acceptable. It was a little warm to sit on the bench under the shade of the tree, Zhang Chu looked down at his phone, and found that it was his agent Zhou Kang who opened the phone.
He knew that he would only call when something major happened, otherwise he would usually >, "Uncle Zhou, I was just in the bookstore and it was inconvenient to answer the phone, do you have anything urgent to find me?"
Zhou Kang on the other end of the phone replied: "I just talked to the Propaganda Department of Nanhai Publishing Company on the phone, and their proofreading room is in full swing to organize the proofreading work, and now it has officially announced the name and release time of your new book, and your fans are laughing crazy." However, now there are some negative comments on the Internet, saying that you are looking for someone to ghostwrite to write so quickly, and that you want to squeeze fans as much as possible while your popularity is still on. ”
These words could have been seen without Zhou Kang saying it, but now it is just a preventive shot.
Zhang Chu didn't care, "Such words are not new for a long time, and every time I publish a new book, it will be mentioned." I'm going to start school next Monday, basically two o'clock and one line, just spend it at home and at school, and those reporters can't trouble me if they want to!"
What's more, the book "The Silence of the Lambs" itself is not particularly important to him, and the level of sales is no longer the focus of Zhang Chu's attention, the focus is on how many people like it.
"I'm just saying that, now that the publishing world is shaken by the news of your new book, I guess your reputation is not very good now, and I don't know how many people are cursing you in circles behind your back. ”
Zhou Kang can see that in the past, he still expected Zhang Chu to socialize well and make a few friends in the publishing circle, but now it seems that it is better to stay at home quietly and save himself from attracting hatred.
Zhang Chu said with a smile: "It's impossible to curse me, they better find another way!"
There is a savior system, usually only he curses others, and the bad luck notebook has not been used up before, whoever says bad things about himself will write his name and see what bad luck can be recruited.
"Anyway, you pay attention to yourself, if you have any needs, just say it, and we will always pay attention. ”
"So let's do it first, bye-bye. Zhang Chu hung up the phone and didn't go online to read the specific remarks, and now García Márquez's book is more appealing to him!
……
Nanhai Publishing Company obviously knew that secrecy could not be kept secret forever, and on the first day they got the manuscript, there were internal ghosts scattered on the Internet.
The titles of the books have been exposed, so it is too unreasonable to hide the issue of schedule, so they simply admit it generously, so that it is more atmospheric and worthy of Zhang Chu's current status.
The announcement that the book would be finalized after the National Day was nothing more than a warning, and now the announcement of the title of the book can be regarded as a real ultimatum. People who are not afraid of death and can't think about it can choose to go public on the same day, and then see how to write the word "awesome".
When the Lamb is quiet, do you hear the cries and whispers of the deepest part of your heart?
Super god-level writer Zhang Chu's latest masterpiece "The Silence of the Lambs" is terrifying, and the most charming villain in the history of literature makes a stunning appearance. The Chinese Simplified Chinese version will be available for pre-sale on October 1, and will be officially available worldwide on October 8!
"Someone once wanted to investigate me. I ate his liver with broad beans and wine. - Hannibal Lecter]
Serial murderers are not uncommon in thrillers, horrors, and detectives, but few are famous, and even fewer are liked by readers.
As for the reason, the activity of killing can be not only a mechanical labor with no technical content such as a white knife entering a red knife, or it can be a ritual feat that condenses careful thinking and lofty ideals, and even sublimates a memorable work of art.
If you want to become a villain that readers really remember, if you want to be worshipped, you must kill the logo, kill the brand, kill the style, and kill the creativity!
In this text released by the official Weibo of Nanhai Publishing Company, Hannibal himself was selected from Zhang Chu, which appropriately showed Hannibal's character and way of committing crimes.
This line is widely circulated on the earth, and it is the favorite of fans to identify their identities, and it once ranked second in the selection of the top ten lines in the history of IMDB on Douban in the United States, second only to the sentence in Forrest Gump's true biography, life is like a box of chocolates.
Hannibal, a learned gentleman, is also a perverted demon with a penchant for cannibalism. One second he may be slowly dissecting your heart, the next second he may be retracting his smile, opening his mouth to bite your skin and gnaw your brain, whether you provoke him or not, he is such a murderer who makes everyone shudder!
Although Zhang Chu has written a lot of thrillers, such as "City Lights of Psychological Crime", which describes the victims in detail, "Sherlock" and "The Da Vinci Code", and uses a lot of thriller elements in the "Ghost Blows the Lamp" series, but these are not as good as "The Silence of the Lambs".
He wanted to make this book an important benchmark for horror, and readers will think of it as soon as they mention it!
