Originally, the temperature had already risen somewhat, but after a rain, it was much colder.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu has a pure natural and pollution-free warm baby in his arms, otherwise he would really be shivering with cold.

After returning home, Zhang Chu hurriedly opened the wardrobe and found a coat to put on to save him from catching a cold.

He hasn't had any time to catch a cold lately.

The revision of "The Lord of the Rings" is progressing very slowly, and it is often impossible to change a few thousand words in an afternoon!

Seeing that it was already April, he was also a little anxious.

This year's work arrangement is very intensive, and the old pit has been said for a long time that there has been no movement, and I am afraid that readers are complaining again.

If you put all your mind on this work, you may feel like you are blinded.

Therefore, Zhang Chu took out his version of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to take a look, relax his mind, and recall the plot by the way.

"When the revisions are almost done, you can find someone to do a trial reading. The authorities are confused, the bystanders are clear, I hope others will give some advice!"

You can't do it behind closed doors, and even Tolkien's version of the Lord of the Rings went through many revisions before it finally took shape.

Every time we publish it, we will collect the comments and opinions of readers and experts, and apply the helpful parts to the work, so that it will become better and better!

There is no such thing as a perfect work in the world, it is inevitable.

Recently, his life has been at home and school, and he will probably not be able to end this busy life until "The Lord of the Rings" is written.

After taking a sip of the energy potion dressed as a scream, Zhang Chu began to go all out.

The computer monitor was split by him, on the left was the previously written version, and on the right was the version that had just been modified, and he was killing countless brain cells with his thoughts!

This sentence seems to be a little inappropriate, if you use a translation, it does have a Western feeling, but it looks awkward. ”

Not only the dialogue of the characters, but also the description of the environment, especially the question of poetry.

In The Lord of the Rings, there is a lot of poetry, and it must be combined with music!

Fortunately, Zhang Chu has mastered a lot of music theory knowledge due to system reasons, otherwise he would not have been able to successfully take out the songs "Wukong", "Norwegian Wood" and "Once Upon a Time".

On Earth, Tolkien wrote a very long essay before his death, stipulating that no matter what kind of translator he encountered, the names of people and places in his entire mythological world must be translated according to his meaning.

Some words need to be translated, but not transliterated.

Some words should be transliterated, not paraphrased, and these are explained.

The word r means orc, the minions of evil forces such as Sauron and Saruman.

In the past, when Zhang Chu was reading, he was translated into a half-orc.

Tolkien's guidance on the translation, however, insisted that the word be transliterated, because R read with a strange feeling like that of this race, and many versions translated it as Oak!

It's just that Zhang Chu thinks that the name half-orc is more intuitive, and if it is translated as Oak, the ghost knows what race it is.

So he didn't exactly follow Tolkien's instructions.

Zhang Chu is different from ordinary translators, he is actually a kind of re-creation, wanting to present his own style and language in this story.

The task of translation is to lead the reader to read the original work in front of it, so there should be no "I" as the translator's style in the translated work, only Tolkien's style!

The Lord of the Rings isn't modern, it's not classical, so it's hard to handle that size.

Tolkien spent 2 years writing The Lord of the Rings, and then another 4 years to add some details.

Zhang Chu wants to take it out in a few months, and he has to toss himself desperately!

The most fascinating thing about Middle-earth is the detail of the world, how the mountains are walked, how the roads turn, and how there are pictures in the head when writing.

After such a long time, Zhang Chu generally does not come into contact with poetry when he is not necessary.

Although he once wrote what is claimed to be the shortest poem in history, he did not specialize in that line after all.

This time, the poems in "The Lord of the Rings" made him suffer enough!

Every word is known, and the meaning of every sentence is understood, but to change from English to Chinese, it is more difficult than writing another poem.

As a reader, of course, he can be amazed, but as an author, it is not easy for him to express every layer of meaning he understands.

The poems in the book come from different characters and different races.

Even if it's the same character, it's sung in different situations.

He had to match the identity of the character and the atmosphere of the time, which must be the most important thing!

If you can't sing a poem that represents joy and relaxation in a sad atmosphere, the sense of disobedience will inevitably burst.

In the same way, it is necessary to consider whether the poem is recited, chanted, or sung.

There is a big difference between the three!

If it is a recitation, then Zhang Chu has to pay special attention to its rhythm, which sounds more sonorous and powerful.

The words of recitation have some tones, some rhymes, and there will be differences in the length of the sentences, uneven, and vague.

And when he wants to write a song, when he sees the English lyrics, Zhang Chu will have some very vague rhythms or melodies in his head, which makes him think of the music he has heard in the past, and see if there is a song that is similar to the lyrics.

These days, Zhang Chu's mobile phone has recorded a lot of poems recited by himself.

He couldn't understand the meaning of the poem written on the computer, so he recited it himself to find out the feeling.

Sometimes when I open my mouth, I realize that something seems to be a little wrong with what I have written!

This is a Western-style poem, Zhang Chu is reluctant to learn what kind of five-word and seven-character quatrains are used in the ancient translation of some English songs on the Internet, so it looks awkward.

In order to write "The Lord of the Rings", Zhang Chu suffered a lot of crimes.

Learning several new languages, learning poetry, learning to draw maps, and everything takes years of immersion!

If it weren't for the time acceleration function in Savior, I'm afraid he would have dragged this book out for years.

As the so-called plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, the sword blade is sharpened, and Zhang Chu's works are gradually formed in a little polishing!

……

The knock on the door made Zhang Chu, who was changing his poems, have to stand up, he thought that the takeout he ordered had arrived, and walked towards the door in his slippers.

"It's pretty fast, but is this doorbell broken?"

When he opened the door with doubts, he found that it was not the takeaway brother standing at the door, but his agent.

Zhou Kang was carrying two bags of fruit in his hand, and he said with a smile: "I knew you were at home." How's it going, have you had dinner?"

Zhang Chu shook his head: "I just ordered takeout." ”

"You're so young, how can you eat takeout every day! I told you a long time ago that you should hire a nanny to help you cook and clean. ”

Everyone knows that eating takeout every day is not good, but everyone is more lazy than harmful.

"When I move into the courtyard next month, I'll hire a nanny and aunt, but now there are too few rooms to get used to having strangers at home. Zhang Chu slammed the door, then pulled a banana from the bag and peeled it off and ate it.

When you're writing, it's distracting to walk around the room with someone, let alone a stranger!

Zhou Kang sat down on the chair as if he were familiar, and he asked, "How is the book "The Lord of the Rings" written now, and do you have time to go to Cannes?"

"The first draft was finished, but there were so many things to revise and polish. Why go to Cannes?"

"Because you have to bring three works to the Cannes Film Festival to promote, the task is huge! If you go, I can help you PR a brand ambassador for luxury menswear, and Dior menswear will probably be very interested in you." ”

It's not too dead, brand ambassadors are not brand ambassadors, let alone global ambassadors.

But in this way, at least Zhang Chu doesn't have to worry about what to wear or how to match it in Cannes!

Zhang Chu was taken aback, "I thought it was just one "Farewell My Concubine", which two are there?"

He knew early on that the film would not make it to the Berlin Film Festival due to post-production, so the goal was always on the Cannes Film Festival, and even hired someone to make English and French subtitles.

Although there is no restriction on participating in the competition, almost all of them are master directors.

The Festival de Cannes, like the rest of the festival, goes through a process of registration, review of samples, re-checking and confirmation of invitations.

There are more than 1,500 films registered every year, but in the end, no more than 0 can participate in the competition for awards in different units.

Zhou Kang said with a smile: "In addition to "Farewell My Concubine", "Ghost Blows the Lantern" and "Da Vinci Code" are both going to participate in the competition, which are of different natures. ”

"That's pretty much it, you scared the rest of the hell out of me! I thought I had three of my films shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival and was about to declare myself a winner in life!"

"The Da Vinci Code" should just release a still or something to maintain proper attention, and "Ghost Blows the Lamp" is running for the purpose of finding a distributor, and Yida Pictures has confirmed that the movie will be released on July 0. And "Farewell My Concubine" has been confirmed to be shortlisted, Director Xu Ji's studio has received confirmation from the film organizer, just waiting for the announcement, this kind of work in the main competition unit is not lacking in attention, and your words in the past can actually help them focus more attention. ”

However, Zhang Chu asked curiously: "Since these movies are going to Cannes, why is there no news of "Youth Pi"? ”

"Warner Bros. wants "Life of Pi" to hit the Oscars, and is unwilling to be exposed at the Cannes Film Festival so early. They are scheduled to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, just in North America, to be in the eyes of the Oscar judges. ”

"That's a bit of a shame, if all these films were in Cannes, I'd have to die of excitement. ”

"So you've decided to go?"

"I'm definitely going, but I'll have to study the course schedule to see if I need to take a leave of absence or change classes!"

The outbreak has been for several days in a row, and the author bacteria haven't lasted so long before, even when it was on the shelves, it wasn't updated so much.

Now that I've finally squeezed into the top 300 of the monthly ticket list, can you let me go a little further?

I think it can be salvaged!
