Chapter 1005: Fame [Second Watch Asking for a Monthly Pass]
Zhang Chu admires Thomas Harris for being able to create the unfathomable Dr. Hannibal, and it is difficult to write it in his own words after knowing that there is a current character.
After all, Thomas used to be a reporter and editor for the Associated Press, and he used to be responsible for covering crimes in the United States and Mexico, so he knows more about each case and the FBI.
Now Zhang Chu needs to add a lot of knowledge to write "The Silence of the Lambs", and he can't make it up and scribble, it will look too fake.
After all, the joke is not nonsense, the adaptation is not a random editing, and if you write it scribble, you have to apologize to all readers!
I happened to go to the United States to record a show next week, and when the time came, I asked someone from Random House or Universal Pictures if there was a chance to go to the FBI's secret service training center and psychiatric hospital to see it on the spot, and I had to understand the current case handling process, and at the same time, I had to optimize the image of Bison Bill.
After all, it was written in the last century, and it is different from today's society, so it needs to keep pace with the times.
But this is exactly what Zhang Chu is good at, and he even has a lot of experience, because this is how "Sherlock" was born.
But the trip to the United States seven days later was very tight, not only to record the Ellen Show, but also to sign the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and at the same time to help Chris give advice on the director of "The Lord of the Rings".
In just a day and a half, I couldn't spare any effort to find the FBI and find information, so I could only wait for the next time.
Fortunately, "The Silence of the Lambs" does not need to be written immediately, and now "Ghost Blows the Lamp" still has half of the content waiting to be updated, so you don't need to be in a hurry to prepare slowly.
It is estimated that his readers, even book critics, media professionals, and people in the publishing industry will be surprised by this new book genre, who would have thought that Zhang Chu would be willing to go back to writing thriller and suspense genres.
"The Da Vinci Code" and "Psychological Crime" all belong to the same genre, but they are different and blooming.
Zhang Chu watched more than 20 hours of movies and books in the savior system, and his whole brain was too tired. The speed of time is different, but the amount of energy used is not less.
He opened his eyes and stood from the top of his position to move his sore knees and calves, and now the plane has not yet flown out of the airspace of our country, and the distance between north and south is too wide!
Anmi put down the book in his hand, and he leaned over for fear of disturbing the rest of the people, and whispered, "I think you can see what the person in front of you is reading." ”
"What book? Is it a playboy?"
The location of the first-class cabin is more private, and Zhang Chu can't see the person in front of him at all, not even his head.
"You'll know when you come to me, he took it out from the moment he got on the plane, and it's still there. ”
Everyone is young and curious, especially after listening to Anmi's description, it seems that there is something wonderful about that book.
Who knew that Zhang Chu didn't play cards according to the routine at all, and quickly changed his face and said: "Oh, he just looks at him, can I still go to him to borrow it." ”
"Aren't you curious?"
"Curious, but don't want to peep at people. Zhang Chuyi said rhetorically, his expression looking very serious.
Anmi's abacus failed, he sighed and took the initiative to say: "It's a middle-aged foreigner, I'm looking at your "Lord of the Rings", and the cover looks like the Twin Towers. ”
The tone of disappointment was palpable!
Zhang Chu crossed Erlang's legs, "What's so strange about this? Look at my book, isn't that a normal operation?"
"Don't get cheap and sell well, look at your cheap expression, you can't hold back your smile!"
There weren't a lot of passengers on the plane, and now New Zealand is only attracted by its stunning natural scenery, not covered by the aura of the Lord of the Rings, and tourism is not as prosperous as it was in the past.
New Zealand, like Australia, was once a colony of the Empire on which the sun never sets, and English is the official language here, so it's not unusual to like The Lord of the Rings, and most of the inhabitants are descendants of the British.
Zhang Chu is not only very famous in China, but also has many fans abroad.
It's just that New Zealand is too small and has a small population, so it is not very conspicuous in the world sales sent by Random House every time.
According to the statistics given by the New Zealand Herald, New Zealanders are actually very fond of reading, with more than 84% of them having read at least one book in the past year, and 10% of the total population having read at least 50 books.
With the rapid development of the pace of life and technology, perhaps only New Zealanders who live a more comfortable and leisurely life can enjoy the joy of holding a long scroll in their hands!
Hitcoulls is New Zealand's largest bookstore chain, with over 56 bookstores across the country.
Considering that the whole country has only 4 million people, which is not as large as the population of a relatively large city in China, a chain bookstore can open 56, which is enough to see people's love for reading.
The population is small, of course, the book sales will not be too high, only 20,000 copies need to be sold to become a bestseller, but Zhang Chu's books are sold here at the level of 100,000!
New Zealanders' reading tastes are actually very similar to those in the UK, and "Sherlock" and "Life of Pi" are selling very well here.
It took just over three months for The Da Vinci Code to win the title of New Zealand's book sales champion last year, and even since its release, it has never fallen into the top five!
Now the sales champion of the Hitcoulls bookstore is just changing from "The Lord of the Rings" to "The Lord of the Rings 2" and "The Lord of the Rings 3", these three books take turns to be the first, and this Middle-earth fever is still burning.
If these local New Zealand readers knew that Zhang Chu was planning a premeditated plan to make the location of the "Lord of the Rings" movie in their country, I don't know if they would collectively go crazy!
At least Zhang Chu was looking forward to that picture.
Now he is glad that he is only an author, and most readers care about the work, and even if they know his name, they will not recognize it.
Westerners are notoriously face blind, and in their eyes Asians are the same, it's hard to tell the difference, and no one thinks that way.
The personal images of actors, singers, and stars should be paid more attention, Zhang Chu felt that if he didn't have incomplete tones and a stiff expression when he looked at the camera, he would have to change to a star.
If you can become a star, obviously the prestige value will be very high!
But in that case, it may be impossible to try the taste of popularity, and it will become the stepping stone at the bottom of the 99% pyramid of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Chu did not communicate the idea of the new book to Anmi, and planned to wait for the time to be ripe, this trip was to travel.
