Zhang Chu's number of Weibo fans has come to twenty or thirty million, and the number of active fans has not been as good as before.

But after that, although he continued to have more fans, he didn't serialize on it, and the pictures were not updated often, so the activity of fans gradually declined, which was only the decline of Weibo data, but the rest of the network was thriving.

But this time after posting a weird picture, his Weibo actually reproduced the grand occasion of a year ago, many diving fans have surfaced, and those who have deleted the Weibo client are even more reproduced to download and log in, and also want to see what is going on!

"There are surprises when you zoom in, don't ask how you know, ask and bloom, ask and offer"

"Who the hell is the woman in this picture? I can't find her with Google Maps."

"It's really a demon moth. @博物杂志薄雾帮忙看看呗, is there really a moth of this breed?"

"It looks like it should have been painted by Zhang Chu, and it should have involved a certain work. I don't know if it's "Ghost Blows the Lamp" or what new book it is. ”

"High energy ahead! Don't magnify that grimace, don't!"

"Well, is this a welfare? It's not a car to kindergarten!"

"Please be calm and wait for the official announcement. ”

"I always feel that these colors and details hide all kinds of symbolic meanings. But other than that, it's still a chilling image. ”

"Hahaha, I'll guess first. What Zhang Chu wants to express through this painting is that only three women together can shut up a woman. ”

The vast majority of readers are too lazy to think about the meaning behind the picture, just waiting for the answer to be announced. But there are also a small number of people who are more serious, and those with a discerning eye know that pictures will have deep meanings, and useful information is very scarce, and they can't think of what kind of fame this is, and they just feel itchy.

And this is exactly the effect Zhang Chu wants, he didn't say the meaning of this picture, just to attract the attention of readers and hang their appetites.

The enlarged skull is actually composed of seven women with red fruits, which were photographed by surrealist artist Salvador Dalí in 1951, but they were appropriately restored by Zhang Chu in the form of paintings.

The reason why this image is used is not for gimmicks, but to relate to the content!

In "The Silence of the Lambs", the male killer Bison Bill longs to be transgender, and he always puts a silkworm chrysalis (butterfly) on the victim or poses the corpse in the shape of a butterfly.

The chrysalis will eventually break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly, and Bison Bill hopes he can too.

The grimace moth on the image symbolizes Bill's desire to become a woman, and he fantasizes about becoming a woman by peeling off the skin of his victims' corpses and wearing them on his body.

The woman's mouth in the picture is sealed by a grimace moth, which means that she is not free to say what is in her heart, which coincides with the name of the silent lamb.

These Chiguoguo women represent the innocent women who were killed in the serial murder case!

The picture drawn by Zhang Chu was originally used as a movie poster for "The Silence of the Lambs", which is very famous and extremely powerful, and is respected by fans and critics all over the world.

Among the top ten movie posters selected over the years, this poster will almost never be forgotten, it is a classic among the classics, and it is incomparably consistent with the content of the movie.

Since the movie became a hit, almost all subsequent original editions have used this poster as the cover when they are reprinted, because it is so impressive!

The long story in the mouth of physical writers is not even a short story in the eyes of online writers, and the more than 200,000 words of "The Silence of the Lambs" may not be put on sale on the Internet.

……

After disturbing the city, Zhang Chu was sitting in his bookstore at this time, with a pile of books in front of him, and he was bored signing them.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the Hanlin Xuan Bookstore in the past year, the price of his signed books in the second-hand market has finally dropped significantly, because there are too many of them!

As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and when signed books are gradually flooded, of course, they are not worth much, at most they are a consolation to readers.

Just as he was about to open the page and write his name, Zhang Bowen pushed open the door and walked in, "Hurry up, your mobile phone, Lao Zhou is looking for you." ”

"Uh, yes. ”

Zhang Chu hurriedly connected the phone, and Zhou Kang's excited voice came from there: "My little ancestor, what's going on with the picture you posted on Weibo today? Gu Xinxue from Nanhai Publishing Company and Claire from the United States are asking, you have to let me know!"

It seems that we still have a lot of foreign fans, and everyone is paying attention. ”

"Don't be narcissistic yet, what's going on with the picture, there is actually Chi Guoguo's body, you know that the Chinese people and the media are more conservative in this regard, don't do anything stupid. ”

Zhou Kang's worries are not unreasonable, in many works, kisses cannot be written, let alone depictions of body parts below the neck, but Zhang Chu's Weibo actually put seven red fruit bodies out, although they were shrunk and placed behind the skull-faced moth.

"Don't don't, it's art, don't think about it so complicated. I wasn't writing "The Silence of the Lambs" lately, and then I thought about drawing such a picture, which would be released as a cover in the future. ”

In the face of Zhang Chu's explanation, Zhou Kang actually had a guess, "I knew it was related to the new book, and it was really risky to use this picture as a cover." By the way, how many words did you write?"

Unlike fans, he already knew the idea of the new book when Zhang Chu recorded the show before, but he didn't expect that before the book came out, the cover was the first to be exposed.

Zhang Chu is blatantly lazy at this time, "I have already written almost a quarter, and now I am writing two books at the same time, and I will probably wait two more weeks to finish it." ”

"Your definition of fast and slow is not at all the same as that of ordinary people, write slowly, and when the time comes, we will have a surprise attack and make your fans die of joy!"

"Then you have to let the publishing company, the printing company, and the logistics company not disclose it. Is there any hope for going public in September? Don't fight with my "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" when the time comes, it will be a human tragedy. ”

Zhou Kang replied with a smile: "The specific progress depends on when you finish writing, we will definitely find a way to make these two books as staggered as possible, you better pity the rest of the authors, since you started writing books, there are few books on the market that dare to claim to be the champion of book sales." ”
