Chapter 1060: The Villain's Self-Cultivation
"The Silence of the Lambs?" is a very dramatic title at first glance, and Zhang Chu really knows how to choose a name!"
Gu Xinxue didn't know what type of work it was, anyway, the document in his email was clearly written, and it even came with a cover made by Zhang Chu with clumsy PS technology.
A few days ago, on the picture that caused heated discussions on Weibo, the words "Silence of the Lambs" looked particularly glaring.
The grimace moth stayed on the lips of the Western woman, and Gu Xinxue connected these words again, and all kinds of thoughts instantly crossed his heart, "Blocked by the moth, is this woman the lamb to the slaughter who remains silent under external factors?"
In all fairness, if you see a book cover like this in a bookstore, as long as you have a little free time, you will definitely stop and flip through the book, which is a little uncertain whether to buy it or not, but it is definitely eye-catching!
If every writer could be as good as Zhang Chu and be able to draw the book cover by himself, it would definitely make the artists of the publishing company unemployed, but fortunately, this one in front of him was shoddy, at best, it was just a base map.
Gu Xinxue wasn't sure if this cover could pass the review at all, because the skull of the Grimace Moth was actually pieced together from seven female carcass. The only hope now is that the people in charge of the review don't have much access to the Internet and don't have the habit of using a magnifying glass at all times, otherwise it will be difficult to hide the past.
If turning a blind eye is the best course of action, they just don't advertise it!
Just one cover page amazed the well-informed senior editor Gu Xinxue, and when he opened the document of the email, the whole person paid no attention to the rest of the people around him and devoted himself to reading.
Two hours passed abruptly, and it was time to get off work.
"Lao Gu, don't you leave after work?" Li Sui, a colleague at the desk next to him, had turned off his office computer, and he couldn't wait to leave the company early.
Gu Xinxue raised his head, held the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied, "I'm going to live in the company today." You go first, I have to hurry up and read Zhang Chu's new book, otherwise I won't be able to catch the release time of October 8th. ”
After hearing this, Li Sui sat back on the office chair directly, and then turned on the computer in front of him, and the action was done in one go, as if he had practiced many times!
"Lao Gu, send me a copy too, you must take a good look at it tonight, you can't miss Zhang Chu's new book if you miss anything. ”
"This is a read-only version, don't spread it. I have already sent it to Mr. Tang, but I guess there was no reply during the meeting. ”
Although Nanhai Publishing Company has achieved good results in the past year or two, the computer in the office has not been replaced for a long time, and the boot time is usually close to two minutes, and it freezes at every turn.
Li Sui curiously slid a chair next to Gu Xinxue and asked, "How is his new book, how does it compare to the previous books?"
Gu Xinxue thought about it seriously and replied, "Zhang Chu's biggest advantage is that he will not disappoint. At first glance, this book thought it was a suspenseful story about a female detective solving a crime. But the reading is very smooth, concise, logical and complete, the description is detailed but there is no sense of procrastination, and none of the pages I have seen so far can be accelerated to browse, but there are some plots that I prefer and like. ”
This is not because Zhang Chu is famous, Gu Xinxue can really feel Zhang Chu's progress in writing, compared to the jerky first story of Detective Sherlock, now you can see that the pen is extraordinary.
Just like many book reviewers praise, the most important thing Zhang Chu's books lack is the sense of picture, reading his books, the plot in the book will always appear in the minds of readers like movies and TV series.
In fact, it is also very easy to understand, because when Zhang Chu wrote the book, he did refer to the movie screen.
In "The Silence of the Lambs", the details are very vivid, and the scenes seem to emerge before their eyes, such as a description near a helicopter, "They are standing outside the plane, the wind blows up dust and garbage, and makes small spins around them." ”
There is even another place where a sentence is written exactly the same twice, but it does not feel abrupt at all when it is read, like a person carefully holding an important little note and pondering it repeatedly.
The plots, clues and characters in "The Silence of the Lambs" are very closely related, and there are many more thrilling and bloody episodes in "The Silence of the Lambs" than ordinary suspense.
What makes Gu Xinxue feel the most interesting is the wonderful game between Starling and Hannibal, the confrontation between the two is very interesting, every dialogue and every action seems to be carefully designed but natural!
Starling is calm, neither humble nor arrogant, knows what kind of character she brings, and strives to obtain more information.
However, the description of Hannibal's character is actually not much, but just from his first contact with Starling, he can feel the elegant and charming temperament, Gu Xinxue can't help but wonder: "Is this also a pervert?"
A knowledgeable, tasteful, and talented doctor who loves to eat people, and when he eats, he is not frightened, there is no sense of kuai and no hideous and distorted, it is truly calm as usual.
This is probably the highest level of villain!
can make readers know that they are villains, but they like it without hesitation, and they can't help but tolerate all the problems, and any shortcomings are shiny and cute.
This doctor is burdened with eight lives, and he is not afraid to play with everyone, but just for fun.
This evil Zhuge Liang met the fledgling female Liu Bei, and the contrast between the two was very great, and these contrasts did not make them exclude each other, but used each other.
Hannibal is an out-and-out devil, while Bison Bill is a childish and boring villain who is still in his infancy.
Through the eyes of the councilor's daughter, Catherine, Gu Xinxue saw Bison Bill's strange behavior, the wall of the well with human fingernails sticking to it made people can't help retching, which is more like a traditional perverted murderer.
The dark and quiet cabin, the daunting moths, and the creepy delusions are the main support for Bison Bill's role as a thriller.
Whenever Gu Xinxue reads the part that belongs to Bison Bill, he always has a ridiculous and speechless feeling, and even has a certain resistance to Zhang Chu, the author.
This guy writes so realistically, as if he knows how to peel the skin, from the tools to the technique and the best time, everything is described in place, as if it is really like that!
Although there are many processes in it that make people feel that it is not so easy to deduce, Gu Xinxue admires the description of the psychology of the characters and the portrayal of the dialogue, which is very skillful, and it will be immersive to read, and it is difficult to read a book that is not so impetuous in today's society.
