Chapter 837: The Title of the Book Is a Puzzle
The ancients were full of energy, exhausted, and declined.
This statement clearly makes sense!
This is like Zhang Chu's previous "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", which was written and flew when the first part was serialized, and readers were happy to read it.
But the second part waited for more than half a year to start being updated, and the number of readers at that time was not as good as before.
If "The Lord of the Rings" is like this, let alone the readers, even Zhang Chu himself is not bored to write it.
"That's exactly what I thought, to write three works at the same time and release them directly in the form of a complete collection!"
After hearing Zhang Chu's words, Blair didn't seem to have much confidence.
He asked, "How much time do you have to spend writing all three together?" Don't tell me you're going to wait until the end of the year." ”
The difficulty of writing the Lord of the Rings trilogy is not 1+1+1=3, but much greater than 3!
What's more, you need to write in Chinese and English at the same time, which is even more difficult.
Zhang Chu couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this: "I still have to write a sequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" during the summer vacation, so this trilogy will definitely be written before then." ”
"Otherwise, you might as well send it one by one, you can write the first part and give it to us for release, and then you can continue to create the rest of it. This will not affect your efficiency. ”
"It depends on the progress of my writing, if it goes very well, then it may be completed in two months. ”
In this case, Blair obviously couldn't say anything frustrating, so he could only comfort and encourage as much as possible: "I believe in your efficiency, let's just wait for a big fight!"
"I'll send you an email and a phone call after I'm done, so don't rush the draft. ”
"Then you can come up and write, and I won't bother you. ”
"Goodbye and look forward to seeing you next time at the premiere of the movie. ”
Zhang Chu put his phone aside, and he slowly calculated, as if he had pitted himself again?
The Lord of the Rings trilogy is more than 900,000 words and as little as 800,000 words.
Even if you write 10,000 words a day, it will take three months to write, let alone revise and polish.
And that's not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is that he has to write the English version at the same time, which is equivalent to doubling the workload.
If you want to finish it in three months, you need at least 20,000 words a day!
Even if it is an update freak on the Internet, it is difficult to continuously update 20,000 words in three months without the support of the manuscript.
Zhang Chu's hand speed was indeed not slow, but it was established at that time when his thinking was relatively smooth.
If it is Kavin, then it may only be possible to write 500 words in an hour, and 400 words of it will probably be revised repeatedly.
"If you walk for a long time at night, you will break into ghosts, in the past, I dug a pit to pit the reader, but this time I dig a pit and pit myself......"
Heaven is a good reincarnation, Zhang Chu is already full of inner cows, and he wants to give himself two slaps!
Even if you put away all unnecessary social and business activities these days, you can't escape the class, and the time pressure is indeed very high.
Zhang Chu knocked his head and said to himself: "There is only one solution, and that is to make full use of the time flow rate of the savior system and use any fragment of time." ”
Ten hours passed inside the system, and only an hour outside.
Ten times the flow rate can do a lot!
For example, during the ten-minute break between classes, Zhang Chu can enter the system, and if there are 100 minutes in it, he can conceive a lot or very detailed plots.
If you think about all the content of the work in the system space, it is still possible to complete it by directly typing the keyboard code word in real world time.
If it can't be done, then it can't be indiscriminate.
Zhang Chu does not allow the quality to decline!
That would destroy the Lord of the Rings, that would destroy Middle-earth.
Time is money, and Zhang Chu is not willing to think too much about the situation, he is ready to follow the method that Blair said.
Write the content of the first part and publish it first, and then continue to write the second and third parts when the publishing company is in the preparation stage and distribution stage.
By the time readers see the first part, the second part is almost ready to be released.
According to common sense, these readers must urge Zhang Chu to release the second part quickly, so they can announce the release of the second part along the river, and it can still conform to public opinion!
The true translation of "The Lord of the Rings" should be "The Lord of the Rings", which corresponds to the English name.
Publishing houses usually translate the book as "The Lord of the Rings", and the movie version imported is called "The Lord of the Rings", so the name is often used to distinguish the difference between the movie and the original book.
Veteran fans can naturally tell when they say one of the names whether they are talking about a movie or not.
Inside, the Lord of the Rings is the main thread, and the story revolves around it.
Gandalf, a white-robed sorcerer who knows the secrets of the Ring, finds the hobbit Bilbo who has accidentally obtained the ring, and attempts to destroy it with the power of Bilbo's heir, Frodo.
Legend has it that this Supreme Ring has the power to corrupt hearts and cause riots in the world.
Saruman, who wants to conquer the world, and Sauron, the lord of evil, want to use the power of the One Ring to achieve their ambitions.
So this attempt to destroy the Lord of the Rings is going through the difficult way under the weak body of the hobbit Frodo!
Zhang Chu clearly remembers the vivid personal images of these characters, and the personal images are based on the rich stories, making the whole book worthy of the name of the epic!
The upright and fearless human emperor Aragorn, the brave and determined hobbit Frodo, the wise melee mage Gandalf, the agile and elegant handsome elf Legolas, and the noble elven queen Galadriel, etc., are all unforgettable.
Different races have different characteristics, and they all have corresponding personalities to support them.
Zhang Chu couldn't help but be excited at the thought of mastering the life and death of so many characters, which character in it was not famous?
Even if film actor Cate Blanchett won Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars, the most classic screen image she left behind is probably the fairy queen in white veil.
This amazing setting had to be kept to the end, and the reader couldn't forget about the characters after putting down the book.
No matter how difficult it is, you have to try it!
After coming out of the savior system, Zhang Chu cherished the two Chinese characters of the Lord Ring on the document, and he planned to use two different names to distinguish the Chinese and the difference between English.
The Chinese version is called The Lord of the Rings, and the English version is the same as the name on Earth, called The Lord of the Rings!
It's not enough to just write the name, all he has to do is to get the outline together with the detailed map, so that he can command the whole work from a high vantage point.
