Chapter 67: Something Isn't Right
"What, you're asking me to lengthen?" Zhang Yao looked at Yexi with wide eyes, with a look of disbelief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Journey to the West Lecture Hall" Zhang Yao herself felt that the length was long enough, but she didn't expect that Yexi still suggested that it be extended a little more, and it would be better to have a single volume.
Zhang Yao didn't think that this was a regular work, and the painting was very casual, but the editorial department had the meaning of issuing a single book.
Yexi nodded with a smile and said, "Because of its unexpected popularity, judging from the feedback we received, even some middle-aged people who don't like to watch anime are interested in it, so we think publishing is a good choice." ”
Yunshang sat far away and said: "Middle-aged people, their minds are mature, and they suddenly find that Journey to the West is different from what they think, of course they will be interested." ”
Su Yunsleeve also smiled and said: "Recently, the sales of the original novel of Journey to the West have also increased significantly, thanks to Zhang Yao's blessing, more and more people are learning about the original work." ”
"Alas, looking at the teacher's comics, you can already know the difference between the original book and the adaptation, why do you have to read the novel, there are so many words." Xu Xiaowei didn't seem to understand this.
She bought the novel in a hurry, but she didn't read the last word of the abridged version by mistake, and she didn't have the idea of reading the original novel after Zhang Yao painted "Journey to the West Lecture Hall", because the general direction had been completely understood.
In fact, even if Zhang Yao didn't paint "Journey to the West Lecture Hall", she may not be able to read the original novel......
"Draw circles in the corners, you think everyone is like you." Yunshang glared at her, and she grimaced in response.
Zhang Yao spread his hands and said, "This sounds like a good idea, but it's obviously not feasible." ”
Yexi smiled and said that she was listening, and she continued: "First of all, if you want to publish a single book, my satirical article on a certain actor must be abridged, right?" People who are really interested are Journey to the West itself, not to see the tearing war. ”
Yexi nodded lightly, and Zhang Yao said again: "The current space is not enough to stuff a single volume, not to mention that it has to be deleted, it is not difficult to stretch the content, who can't irrigate it, but in this way, the quality is not guaranteed, so I think it's better to forget it, okay?" ”
Zhang Yao asked weakly, after all, she was facing her own editor and her own financial master, and if the soloist magazine had to insist, she could only pour water hard and then use it for them to publish.
Yexi said: "Don't get me wrong, we are just giving you an opinion from the most favorable perspective, and the final decision is still all in your hands." ”
"In that case, then I choose to reject this opinion and stuff it into the single book of "Dragon Ball" in batches, there is no need to publish it separately, it is just a derivative." Zhang Yao made the final decision.
"Shaotuan" pursues the market as the king, business first, to put it bluntly, it is for the purpose of making money, and then the sales of the single book of "Journey to the West Lecture Hall" will not be low, and it is certain to make a small profit.
However, despite this, "Young Tuan" is not so disciplined that there is no bottom line in order to make money, it can only be said that money is supreme within a reasonable range and to an acceptable extent, although this has made many people who are not used to seeing it say that it is full of copper smell, but in fact, it is still very conscientious and ethical.
So in this case, they just give an opinion, if the original author disagrees, then it will be squeezed, the author's autonomy is far higher than that of "The King of Paintings".
Zhang Yao didn't want to make this money, mainly because she felt that she was not capable, and pointed out what are the differences between the original and adapted works of "Journey to the West", which is very simple, because she has read the original works and those adaptations.
But it's different to interpret it in detail, she understands all kinds of connotations and metaphors herself, and she still needs to see other people's interpretations to fully understand the original story, how can she have the ability to interpret it to others.
And these are also the biggest differences between the adapted work and the original work, if you really want to talk about it in detail, let alone a single volume, it is not a problem to send four or five volumes at all, but to put it bluntly, it is still the same sentence, she is not at that level at present.
Generally speaking, I know something, and now "Journey to the West Lecture Hall" expresses these things in the general direction, and it is not possible to figure it out by just reading the original novel when digging into the details.
She also had to learn about the culture, politics, religion, and so on of the background of the book, and even all the relevant books, and she didn't know anything about them.
"If you buy hundreds of thousands of rolls, you will have millions of income, and you don't want to?" When I was in Chinese class, the bored Yunshang also brought up this problem, thinking that it was really unreasonable to have money and not make money.
"You are exalting me too much, it's not that I don't like this money, but I really don't have the ability to make it."
Yunshang touched her chin, "It seems to be the same, if you look at it carefully, you will find that the Journey to the West Lecture Hall is quite in-depth, and it is really not easy to continue, and you don't have any energy to study it." ”
This is also the point, Zhang Yao has a lot of things to do now, and he is not here, of course, he will not take the time to study everything about "Journey to the West", and then draw it.
"I'm going to study Journey to the West, the first one who is unhappy should be you, and you will inevitably have to delay the progress of the game."
"Sure enough, it's better to be a game than a scholar. Girl, although you sometimes make literary and artistic diseases, don't really develop in the direction of literary youth. ”
Yunshang cautiously put Zhang Yao's shoulders from behind, and at this time, the Chinese teacher on the podium shouted angrily, "Yunsheng." ”
"Jingle bell ......" Yunshang was startled, but fortunately, the bell after school saved her life.
"Listen well in class." When school was over, the students' minds had already stopped studying, and if they dragged on and reprimanded Yunsheng, the students would be even more uncontrollable, so they had to announce the end of class stupidly.
"It's a fluke." Yunshang patted her chest to express her happiness.
"You deserve it." Zhang Yao glanced at her, and then beckoned Xu Xiaowei at the next table, "Let's go, it's time for club activities, and it's time for you, the assistant, to go to work." ”
Xu Xiaowei, who was lying on the table, didn't react at all, and when he looked closely, he slept soundly, and he almost didn't blow bubbles in his nostrils.
Yunshang rolled his eyes, slapped the table and shouted, "Xu Xiaowei." ”
"Teacher, I didn't sleep." Xu Xiaowei, who was taken aback, hurriedly got up and straightened up, and quickly grabbed the Chinese textbook, but because of the chaos, he not only took it down, but also fell to the ground.
The classmates around her who hadn't left looked at her and laughed, and she reacted, "Ah, is school already out?" ”
Zhang Yao couldn't help but touch her head, "Fortunately, you still have a specialty in painting, otherwise I'm really worried about your future." ”
Sitting next to each other for so long, Zhang Yao had already discovered that this confused person was more careless in class than she and Yunsheng, no matter what the class was, he was either in a daze or sleeping.
I can't figure out how she was admitted to high school, probably as a lucky natural stay, she can answer most of the questions by shaking the dice during the exam.
"Haha." Xu Xiaowei grabbed the back of his head and smiled unconsciously, "When listening to the teacher's lectures, I always fall asleep unconsciously." ”
Zhang Yao and Yunsheng were careless in class, it was a bad attitude, but Xu Xiaowei was not, she was very attentive every time she went to class, but she definitely couldn't last three minutes, and soon she was in a fog, either she was in a daze, or she was directly hypnotized.
Jumping out of the dimension to talk about reality, can such a guy expect her to grow up and enter the society in the future, what kind of work will she do? That's why it's a good thing to have a specialty of drawing. Well, maybe it should be said that being able to draw is a gift from God.
Others have to go to great lengths to find a job after graduating from college, Xu Xiaowei doesn't have to worry about this problem at all, is it really the darling of God?
On the way to the activity room, Yunshang looked at Xu Xiaowei, who was stupidly happy, "I think what you said is still very reasonable." ”
Xu Xiaowei was unaware of all this, and she didn't even realize that the two were talking about her at this time.
Climbed to the sixth floor to the activity room, Yunshang took out the key and wanted to open the door, only to find that the door was hidden, so she pushed it open directly, and couldn't help but turn around and said, "I thought the elder had come over in advance, and you didn't lock the door at noon?" ”
"I'm not Xiao Wei, how could I not lock the door."
"Ale, why do you say me, it's not me who walks behind." Xu Xiaowei expressed grievances.
Yunshang thought about it for a while, couldn't figure it out, walked in and looked around, looked at the game console that hadn't been turned off yet, and asked, "The game seems to be the last one I played during the lunch break, but I won't let go of the mistake of forgetting to turn off the game console, right?" ”
Yunshang may forget it once, but only game-related things will never forget, because I like games and love game consoles very much, so I won't leave it on like this.
"It doesn't seem like this is the game I'm playing during my lunch break." Yunshang bent down and picked up the DVD case.
"My sketches have been turned over, but they haven't been lost or stained." Zhang Yao was also very keen about his own things, and immediately noticed the abnormality.
"Ah, I've eaten all the snacks I bought at noon, and that's all I have left." Xu Xiaowei's eyes were full of tears, and she looked at her special snack box unwillingly.
Zhang Yao said: "This is not abnormal, it may have been eaten by Yunshang." ”
"Hey, why do you want to talk about me, you haven't stolen food yourself." Yunshang clasped her hands to express dissatisfaction.
"I wouldn't be so stupid, or I wouldn't have been discovered."
"Well, you have been stealing my snacks? No matter, you'll have to buy it to compensate me anyway. ”
With Xu Xiaowei's confusion, she couldn't notice that some of her snacks were missing, and this time there was only a small piece of chocolate left, which would definitely not be hidden, which was not in line with Zhang Yao and Yunsheng's style.
