As early as Jin Yong's era, there were a lot of omissions in writing novels because of the rush to draft, although Mr. Jin revised it several times before and after, but many omissions in small places still have not been solved.

For example, Yang Guo, who has a broken arm, can still "tremble slightly with his hands", "clench his fists" and so on.

There are a lot of bugs like this in "The Condor Heroes", some such as what era of people in Dugu is seeking defeat, where did they come from, Yang Guo went to the Iron Gun Temple when he was a child, but when he grew up, it became the first time to go, and Yang Guo when he was a child was able to find corn, which is clearly a plant that came to China in the Ming Dynasty.

Wait a minute.

These are all innocuous little bugs, the novel is a million words, and it was serialized when it was written, so it is impossible not to have some omissions.

The biggest omission is actually a historical omission, because although the Southern Song Dynasty is in a corner of peace, it also has the feat of the Northern Expedition. But Jin Yong may have read too much of the romance biography and was affected, and in his novels, many historical events have been reversed in time and become plausible. Once written according to real history, all the stories are messed up.

Of course, fiction is all about truth and falsehood, and fictional stories are mixed with some historical events to add a sense of reality. Literature is a kind of reprocessing of history and life.

In the same way, Zhang Tan's "The Condor Heroes" is naturally a lot of omissions.

Fortunately, there are staff from the publishing house to help with the revision, check and fill in the gaps, and make the work more perfect.

At the publishing house, Zhang Tan met the illustrator who illustrated the novel.

The illustrator is a woman, named Gou Caiyun, in her thirties, very shabby, but the black and white illustrations are quite wonderful, and the simple lines of the characters have infinite charm.

"Caiyun, you have a good chat with Xiao Zhang about the characters in the book, and you must draw the characteristics of each character." The leader of the publishing house confessed.

Gou Caiyun nodded in agreement.

Zhang Tan curiously picked up a pencil drawing on the table, on which was the back of a woman sleeping on a rope, which seemed to be a little dragon girl, and asked, "Have you watched "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"?" ”

"I've seen it." Gou Caiyun spoke more concisely, "Very good-looking." ”

"This is a little dragon girl who was painted, right?"

"Yes, there's more." Gou Caiyun handed over the pile of drawing paper next to him again, "You give some advice, Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo, I can't be sure of the final image." ”

Zhang Tan looked at it, Gou Caiyun had already drawn dozens of illustrations, among which there were more illustrations of Xiaolongnu and Yang Guo.

The illustrations of the little dragon girl have the style of chivalrous girls, the style of the girl next door, some are cute, some are cold, some have a convex and concave figure, and some have the same figure as a tablet.

"I think this little dragon girl looks very feeling, but I have to paint it a little more innocently." Zhang Tan didn't take long to pick out an illustration of Xiaolongnu practicing martial arts.

The painting shows the little dragon girl in fluttering clothes, and her face is a bit like Liu Yifei.

This is the reason why Zhang Tan chose this painting as the image of the little dragon girl.

In his last life, "Condor" was filmed in the N version of the TV series, Li Tongming, Weng Jingjing, Pan Yingzi, Chen Yulian, Li Ruotong, Wu Qianlian, Fan Wenfang, Liu Yifei, and Chen Yanxi have all played Xiaolongnu. Among them, the most successful are undoubtedly three, the 83-year Chen Yulian version, the 95-year Li Ruotong version and the 06-year Liu Yifei version.

Speaking of the most successful, the most classic, and the most broadcasted, it is undoubtedly Li Ruotong's version of Little Dragon Girl. It can be said that it is recognized as the first.

But it may be Zhang Tan's age, Li Ruotong was amazing when he was a child, and Liu Yifei was his impulse when he was eighteen or nineteen years old.

Seeing Liu Yifei's version of the Little Dragon Girl, Zhang Tan seemed to see the Little Dragon Girl he had once fantasized about and did not eat the fireworks of the world.

Of course, Zhang Tan likes Liu Yifei's version of Little Dragon Girl, but the illustrations are still too rough and not real-life. However, the illustrator just adds a little three-dimensionality to the plot, not a stills artist, and just draws the general meaning.

Zhang Tan was not too picky in this regard.

quickly communicated with Gou Caiyun about the image of the main characters, and as for the other characters, let Gou Caiyun watch and play.

……

It's busy, but it's not boring.

The publication of "The Condor Heroes" is progressing step by step, and the first volume is scheduled to be released on the shelves in August.

The Heqi Writers Association also quickly passed Zhang Tan's application form, and Zhang Tan became a member of the Writers Association and participated in the charity donation meeting organized by the Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles. Most of the people who participated in this meeting were members of various groups under the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, including the Writers' Association, the Quyi Association, the Calligraphers Association, and the Television Artists Association.

The donation meeting was held very grandly, and two male and female hosts were specially invited from the province to host, these two hosts Zhang Tan knew each other, and they both broadcast news on Anwei Satellite TV.

There were also reporters who came to interview, and the scene was very lively.

Most of the subordinates of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles donated three or five hundred, and some donated one or two thousand.

Zhang Tan prepared 100,000 yuan, which was the largest donation among all the people that night. When the host made a donation, he also deliberately pulled Zhang Tan to say a few words.

"You donated 100,000 yuan tonight, the most of all people, thank you very much for your kindness, is it stressful for you to donate so much?"

Zhang Tan replied: "It's nothing, this is a little bit of my heart, I have earned some manuscript fees for writing, and I want to give back to the society and do my part." ”

"Thank you again for your donation, how do you feel about joining the Writers Guild at such a young age?"

"Well, thank you very much to the seniors of the Writers' Association for your support, I will try my best to create more works."

Show your face and step down.

For Zhang Tan's one-time donation of 100,000 yuan, it still caused many people to be dissatisfied, thinking that Zhang Tan was showing off his wealth, so Zhang Tan's eyes were not very friendly. But Zhang Tan doesn't care, how much he donates is his heart, and it has nothing to do with others. Besides, he is just making a name for himself in the writers' association, and he is not afraid of others wearing small shoes for him.

If people have confidence, they don't need to look at other people's faces.

After returning from the charity donation meeting, Zhang Tan received another call from the publisher to discuss the publicity work of the new book on the shelves.

It's nothing more than asking a reporter to come over for an exclusive interview.

Or hold a few book signings.

The last Yuanyi Times Square book signing was particularly successful, allowing the publishing house to see Zhang Tan's popularity, so he wanted to arrange several book signing sessions in other cities early on.

It was only the sudden outbreak of SARS that interrupted this rhythm.

It also made the invincible and hot "Legend of the Condor Heroes" greatly affected, and the sales figures behind it were greatly discounted. Otherwise, the finale of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely sell a record-breaking single million copies. And it is precisely because of SARS that the popularity of "Shooting the Condor" has greatly decreased and lost a lot of popularity.

It must be known that before SARS, "Condor Shooting" once became one of the top ten search keywords of Du Niang of the year.

However, a good book is a good book and will not be buried.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a great topic in major forums and websites. The evaluations of experts and professors from all walks of life, the readers' impressions, and the discussion posts of the plot are endless. That is, the network has not really developed yet, and it has not been able to form a fire IP, otherwise it would have been copied to an unparalleled height.

Of course, with the current popularity of "Shooting the Condor", it has attracted the attention of many interested people.

this day.

Zhang Tan is discussing with the leaders of Anwei Literature and Art Publishing House how to arrange publicity work during the summer vacation. His assistant Li Yan received a phone call, who claimed to be the general manager of "Zhang Dabeard Studio" and wanted to ask for the film and television adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
