Chapter 1067: Serial Killer in the United States

After eating a belly full of meat, Zhang Chu and the others felt that they were too greasy, and after coming out of the barbecue restaurant, they couldn't wait to go to the small supermarket outside to buy a cup of yogurt, wanting to relieve their greasyness.

"Cool! Sure enough, it's still cool to eat meat!"

"You don't know how badly I was abused when I came home. My mom said that I gained a lot of weight when I went to college, and I had to help me get nutritious meals at home to lose weight, and my face was about to turn green when I ate. is still old Zhang Haoshuang, this meal has a lot of meat. ”

Zhang Chu was also very satisfied, it was good to be able to treat himself after hard work, he pointed to the parking space on the side of the road and said, "Let's go, I'll send you back." ”

Who knew that Yang Ling waved his hand and said, "You can drive back by yourself, we just take a slow walk back, so we should consume food." ”

An Mi also had this intention, "Yes, Lao Zhang, go back and write a book, finish it early and relax early." ”

"Okay, you guys take your time, maybe you'll meet a few beautiful seniors and be enthusiastic seniors. Whether you can get off the list depends on now, the juniors are waiting for you!"

"Come on, you're the one who should get rid of the list the most among us. Who let you live outside the school, you don't have the opportunity to meet beautiful schoolgirls. ”

Zhang Chu held the matcha in the passenger seat, and then waved to his friends and drove the car into the vast sea of cars.

On the surface, he only needs to write "Ghost Blows the Lamp: The Anger of Qing Xiangxi", but in fact, he is slowly working on the English version of "The Silence of the Lambs", which is not difficult, but it takes time.

Originally, it was set in the United States, and it is also the favorite thriller, suspense, and crime-solving story of American readers.

Movies, TV series, songs, and books of these genres have emerged one after another, and decades later, these dark stories still have the corresponding ability to attract and continue to circulate for a long time, and even become a part of popular culture!

People are keen to understand the dark side, and darkness is a part of life, and exploring the inner world of serial killers is a strong temptation for many Americans and people around the world.

In the United States, there is even a special National Museum of Crime and Correction, which receives a large number of visitors every day, many of whom have a strong interest in crime cases from all over the world.

Perhaps his grandfather was a big reader of crime magazines, his father might have met the gangster godfather in Chicago, and he himself would be keen to explore the impact of a killer's childhood on his life.

A lot of people are like that, more interested in why a killer becomes a killer than what they do.

The United States is the country with the most serial killers in the world, according to incomplete statistics from the FBI, in the century from 1900 to 2000, there were 2,500 serial killers in the United States.

In contrast, the United Kingdom, which is in second place, is less than 150.

So when it comes to serial killers, people often can't help but assume that he is American!

Crime-solving dramas have very high ratings in the United States, such as the famous "Crime Scene Investigation" series, which has been out for more than ten seasons in an endless stream, and has also derived the Las Vegas version, Miami version, New York version and online version, which has become a series of big IPs, and even professional police officers have to watch these dramas to learn.

In addition, there are also the "Criminal Minds" series, "The Line of Fire", "True Detective", "Suspect Tracking", "Wonderful Police Detective", etc., which are simply the highest-rated categories in American dramas, and any TV station is developing this kind of series.

In Zhang Chu's heart, he felt that the sales of this physical book "The Silence of the Lambs" might be far better than that of China in North America, because people are just right to appetite!

Every book has a target group, and judging these target groups correctly is the key to sales success, and you can't hope that "Ghost Blows the Lamp" will do well in North America, unless it's crazy.

The reason why the United States is rich in serial killers is probably closely related to its high crime rate, many of which are extremely cruel and easy to attract attention, so as to become famous in one fell swoop.

For example, the news in the United States is now almost full of reports of shootings, and if a new case occurs and the victim is still shot, then people must be numb. And if the killer hurts people with a knife, tortures, rapes and even eats the victim, it will definitely stand out from the majority of shooting cases and become a public topic!

The psychology of many Americans is like this, they are immune to gun violence, but if someone goes to the knife and kills them, then they will be frightened physically and mentally, which are two completely different feelings.

It's obviously a crime of the same nature, but the actual feeling is different.

Almost all of these serial killers became famous for their extreme crimes, some of them were brutal, and some even sent a letter to the media to provoke them after committing the crime, these sensational details can be said to have deeply attracted the public, and the desire for the answer and the truth can just maintain the heat.

In this "The Silence of the Lambs", Bison Bill and Hannibal both have real-world archetypes, of course, not one-to-one correspondence, but a fusion of several serial killer stories in it.

This is a story that was originally notorious in the United States, and he blended it together and repackaged it, which must have touched the hearts of American readers and made them perceive a hint of familiarity.

In addition to generating intense excitement for the public, these stories can also greatly capture people's imagination because they have the basic elements of a best-seller, danger, mystery, heroes and villains, and karma.

The real and the virtual are blended in the world, and it is difficult to really distinguish them.

Scenes like CSI often use writing techniques to add drama, while Silence of the Lambs always reinforces realism based on real events.

For readers, reading a newspaper story about a serial killer or reading "The Silence of the Lambs" may not make much of a difference, but they are all the same sensational, and they are all the same to entertain the public.

Those news reports also usually use stories to describe serial killers, and sometimes when you read the reports written by these reporters, you will always feel that the reality is much more exciting than the excitement.

Young people in the United States and around the world have different psychology, the pursuit of adventure, the desire for freedom, sympathy for the victims, the sense of mystery and the attraction of the plot, and so on.

Life is too dull, and the serial killer is a terrifying human being that will make them envious.

I'm afraid it's only when a real serial killer knocks on the door that these readers will have a real sense of fear. Until then, it's all entertainment!
