After sending Lao Zhang off, Yang Feng didn't dare to listen to "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on the way back for his own safety.
Fortunately, the previous voice recitation was in intelligent mode.
If this was really a professional anchor, with some emotional music and a slightly gloomy tone, wouldn't this story be scary
When Yang Feng returned home that night, he had a dream.
He dreamed that he and Lao Zhang were robbing a tomb and placed a candle in the corner. But before the coffin was opened, the candle suddenly went out...
People light candles, ghosts blow out the lights!
Yang Feng didn’t know what happened next because he had been awakened by the fear in his heart.
the next day.
Yang Feng came to the company, feeling listless, as if he had not slept well last night.
"What's wrong with you?" a colleague asked with concern.
Yang Feng said: "I don't know how to comment on Chu Kuang's new book..."
"Is Chu Kuang's new book finished?"
Almost all the editors looked at Yang Feng at the same time.
This group of editors at the Silver and Blue Library can be considered half fans of Chu Kuang. "Zhu Xian" is hailed as a masterpiece that half of the industry is following!
Someone asked: "What type?"
At this time, Lao Zhang also arrived at the company. After hearing everyone's discussion, he smiled and said, "Since everyone is so curious, Xiao Yang might as well send the book to everyone to see what everyone thinks."
"That's fine."
Yang Feng simply did the same as last time and sent "Ghost Blows Out the Light" to everyone's email.
The novel had to be kept confidential before publication, but that was naturally no problem for the company’s editors.
After everyone received "Ghost Blows Out the Light", they started reading it immediately.
After just a few minutes of watching, someone said in astonishment: "First person?"
“Is this a horror novel?”
"To be exact, it's a supernatural novel..."
"Tomb robbing is considered supernatural? From the perspective of the industry, this is clearly a realistic novel."
"When I saw the title, I thought it was a fairy tale..."
"Will this work?"
"… "
What everyone said was still quite euphemistic.
In fact, just looking at the beginning of the novel and the first-person perspective, people have no expectations for the content of the story.
If this wasn't Chu Kuang's book, everyone would have rejected the manuscript!
First person
Who still writes in the first person these days
I wonder if today’s readers will abandon a book as soon as they see the first-person perspective
Moreover, why does the beginning talk for so long, all about the protagonist's grandfather
I mentioned tomb raiding earlier...
What's so good about tomb robbing
There has never been a novel of this type before.
Lao Zhang said cheerfully, "Just keep watching."
When he and Yang Feng listened to the beginning of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" yesterday, they were also confused and even felt that Chu Kuang was writing nonsense.
But after hearing what happened next, their views completely changed.
At this time, the editors in the editorial department also experienced the same psychological transformation.
When they saw that a paper doll burned for the dead actually came to life and said that she wanted to marry Hu Guohua, everyone shuddered.
The atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became much colder!
When they saw the white paper man asking Hu Guohua to go to the cemetery late at night to dig up the gold and silver buried with the dead, Hu Guohua went there greedily, and ended up having his heart and liver eaten by the white paper man, everyone's breathing tightened...
Lao Zhang and Yang Feng looked at each other.
The crowd's reaction was not too unexpected.
This novel has a lot of horror scenes. It starts off weird but becomes quite spooky later on.
For example, when Hu Bayi and Fatty went to work in a local area, Lao Wang's wife in the village saw a group of people kneeling and worshipping a locust tree. When she walked over to take a look, she found that these people had no heads...
This scene is terrifying just thinking about it...
Not to mention the red glutinous rice dumplings and two dead kids behind them...
The dead children were a boy and a girl...
The novel's interpretation is that mercury is injected from the top of the child's head while he is alive, and then mercury powder is coated on the surface of the body, just like a specimen. After thousands of years, the body will not rot, but will turn blue and slightly black.
Chu Kuang's writing describes the details such as blood vessels and holes for filling mercury very well.
When Yang Feng heard this part, he almost had a problem with his driving.
"Bang!"
Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening.
Perhaps everyone's attention is focused on the novel.
Startled by the sudden sound, some people even spilled their wolfberry tea in panic...
The water was flowing all over the ground.
Only then did everyone realize that it was the editor-in-chief Lao Xiong who came.
"What are you doing? Why are you so startled?" asked the old bear with a frown.
Yang Feng explained: "Chu Kuang has written a new book."
The old bear was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "What's the subject?"
“Supernatural!”
"fear!"
“Suspense!”
"Explore!"
Several editors spoke at the same time.
The old bear frowned again: "What on earth is it?"
Yang Feng thought for a moment and said, "It should be considered a new genre. I think it should be called a tomb-raiding novel..."
"Tomb robbing?"
Old Bear was a little confused.
Of course the literal meaning is understandable. Everyone knows about tomb robbing. But I just can’t figure it out. How can this thing be interesting if it is written into a novel
Chu Kuang's new book is also unconventional
Yang Feng quickly said: "You will understand after you take a look. I have sent the novel to your email."
It is hard to explain it in a few words, because there has never been a novel like "Ghost Blowing Out the Light" on Blue Star!
Simply defining it as horror or suspense does not seem to be comprehensive enough.
Except for Chu Kuang, probably no one would have thought of writing such a fantasy novel...
"OK."
Lao Xiong nodded and went into the office.
The editors looked at each other, then discussed in a low voice:
"Chu Kuang really has a different style for each book. This book is so scary!"
“I feel very excited.”
"It's like watching some great horror movies, you're scared but you can't help wanting to keep watching..."
"Will this be popular? After all, it's a first-person story..."
"It's hard to say. Although it's in the first person, I seem to have adapted to it after watching it for a while?"
"Think about it carefully. Don't you think that Ghost Blows Out the Light has to be told from the first person in order to make it more immersive?"
"Mystery novels often use the first person narrator..."
"The problem is, we are a fantasy novel, and readers like the protagonist to act cool and pretentious. Ghost Blows Out the Light seems to be... misclassified?"
"It can be considered a fantasy novel. I think the imagination of this book is terrifying..."
"Anyway, Chu Kuang's novel is awesome!"
"Three books, three different genres, even the writing style is different this time, this is terrible!"
"… "
After discussing for a while, everyone returned to their seats and continued watching "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
Just half an hour later, the door of the editor-in-chief's office suddenly opened.
The old bear ran away...
Faced with this scene, the editors of Yinlan suddenly felt somewhat familiar.
It's also this day.
The editor-in-chief's office personally instructed that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" will be officially released in June, and the publicity level is...
The highest level!
