Chapter 841: Expeditionary Team Gathering [Two More Requests for Subscription]
When the curtain slowly opened, one familiar character after another jumped on the page.
Sam, Pippin, and Merry are all hobbits in the article, and they probably don't know what they're about to face!
Bilbo gave up the ring and left it to his nephew Frodo, but Gandalf was not sure that the ring was the One Ring, so he traveled to Minas Tirith to look through Esidor's scrolls.
The returning Dark Lord Sauron has captured Gollum, and in the midst of torture, Gollum reveals Charles and Baggins to Sauron, and the Dark Lord sends nine Ringwraiths to the Charr in search of the Ring.
Gollum is a very unique character in The Lord of the Rings, and he's a pathetic man.
The One Ring was originally worn on Sauron's finger, but Essidor who fell in front of Sauron during the war used Nasir's sword to cut off Sauron's finger, and the dark forces collapsed.
And Essidor was shot to death by archers in the river, and the One Ring remained at the bottom of the river.
About 2,000 years later, Thiago, a hobbit who was fishing, caught the ring!
Watching his friend Thiago fiddle with the ring in his hand, another hobbit, Smeagogh, saw it and became greedy.
He liked the ring very much, because it lost his humanity, and he strangled his friend to death by any means necessary, and then put on the One Ring.
The anger, greed, curse, evil, and loneliness of the Ring have changed Smergol's psyche dramatically, and his body has been corrupted and mutated by the ring, and he lives alone in the caves of the Misty Mountains!
Because of the loud grunting sound that came out of his throat, he was called grunt.
Five hundred years later, the One Ring abandoned Gollum and was picked up by Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit from the Shire.
Sauron knew the clues of the One Ring, and Gandalf also found out a lot of things, he returned to the charr and asked Frodo to bring the Ring to Rivendell to listen to the Elven King Elon's advice, and he himself would wait for Frodo at the Prancing Horse Inn.
In this way, Frodo left the Charles, accompanied by his gardener Sam, and Merry and Pippin were joined on the way.
However, they didn't find Gandalf in the inn, but met Aragorn!
The Ringwraiths are in pursuit, the Hobbit's journey has just begun, and the mysteries of Middle-earth will be revealed.
From the beginning of the preparation to the present, "The Lord of the Rings" has written almost 100,000 words, and Zhang Chu has become more and more calm, not as eager as before.
His recent life is very regular, he goes to class and ends school on time every day, goes to the gym every other day to do activities, and the rest of the time he can't see his figure everywhere, and even the organization of the rock climbing club has contacted him several times to go to the wild and climb by the way!
Zhang Chu's energy is focused on this work, he wants to make this work perfect, so that others can see its shining points.
The creation of the English version is much simpler than the Chinese version, as long as the Chinese version is written, then it only needs to be translated, and there is no need to think about the plot direction.
So when he needs to relax his brain, he chooses to translate into English, and neither side of the progress is left behind.
Spring was shining, and he was standing on the balcony admiring it, and he probably didn't have time to go out until the book was finished.
Zhou Kang, who hadn't bothered him for more than a week, finally couldn't help but call him today.
"You've been in retreat for 10 days, how are you doing now, how many words have you written?"
Zhang Chu replied with a smile: "The speed is okay, I wrote almost 100,000 words." When I have written almost 300,000 words, I will hand over the contents of the first part to you, and I will continue to write the remaining two. ”
Zhou Kang sat on the office chair and moved his mouth, "Is it a total of 100,000 words in Chinese and English, or is it 100,000 words in Chinese alone?"
"Of course it's Chinese, how many words do you have to say in English. ”
"It's too fast!" Zhou Kang felt that writing 10,000 words a day was powerful, but Zhang Chu doubled it again.
"Of course you have to hurry, otherwise it's called a retreat!"
Zhang Chu is very proud, 100,000 words are the result of his hard work, and now nearly one-third of the plot of the first part has been written, and it seems that the first part should be written before April Fool's Day.
Zhou Kang did not doubt the quality of Zhang Chu's work at all, no previous book has ever disappointed, and presumably this unknown fantasy work is the same!
The title of "The Lord of the Rings" is very well protected, not to mention that netizens and readers don't know the title of Zhang Chu's new book, even the editors of Nanhai Publishing Company and Random House don't know, and Zhou Kang is the same as the agent of Hanlin Culture Media.
"Since you've written so much, why don't you show me? I might be able to correct you a few typos. ”
Who doesn't want to be the first to see Zhang Chu's new book?
Even if it was Zhou Kang, he didn't dare to say that he could point out Zhang Chu's writing or layout now, he could only say that he was looking for typos.
Zhang Chu yawned, "Of course you can." But if you want to see it, you can only come to my house and use my equipment. ”
There is a certain risk if you send it by email, in case the mailbox is stolen or Zhou Kang forwards it, it will be troublesome!
Zhou Kang immediately nodded and agreed: "This must be no problem." You see when it's convenient, I'll come to your house. ”
"Tomorrow is Monday, are you going to blatantly skip work? Don't forget, I'm the boss. Zhang Chu quipped, "Do you still want to get paid?" ”
"Let's get down to business, then. I think it's good to write a book in retreat, but I still have to come out and be active, and if I stay at home alone for a long time, I will have psychological problems. What's more, your fans haven't seen you show up in a long time, and they miss you. Zhou Kang's words changed, "It just so happens that our "In the Name of the People" crew is about to hold a press conference, as a member of the investor and the author of the original work, why do you have to show up?"
"I went to school every day, and it wasn't a one-on-one private class size. ”
"If you don't attend, just a few film and television companies attend, not many people pay attention to the news at all. This is your TV series, don't you want it to get more attention? What's more, this Friday is the release time of the physical book "In the Name of the People", and if you attend this event, you don't have to attend the book launch. It's good to have two in one!"
Jing Ji thought about it, it happened that it was also something related to himself, Zhang Chu agreed after thinking for a while.
Now the crew is still looking for a director, and when the director is found, they will form a behind-the-scenes team, and then the director and screenwriter will get the script out, and select the actors according to the script, and the filming will probably wait until several months later, let alone playback!
