"Alas, I'm still a mortal after all!"

After two weeks of headaches, Sun Peng completely confessed.

The words of the lion, the witch and the magic wardrobe are easy to write, and with reference to the content of the movie, try to write them in a simple language that is easy for children to understand. It took two or three days, Sun Peng racked his brains to write an ultra-condensed version of more than 10,000 words, and he thought it was not bad - anyway, for children to read, the text should be simple, and the second should be easy to understand, not so poor.

But when Sun Peng started to draw, he was stumped.

How to draw?

After checking some information on the Internet, Sun Peng found that he really underestimated the picture books for children. It may seem like some simple pictures, but how to use these pictures to express the content of the story, choose those pictures that are easy to attract children's attention, how to design, how to distribute the proportion of each part of the content......

It's a science!

Even if he was born in animation, his own drawing skills are not bad, but being able to do it and knowing how to do it are completely different things. And the picture books for children are completely different styles, if Sun Peng has to draw, maybe it will be the result of painting tigers and not anti-dogs. And the style orientation of picture books is also a problem, if it is something for young children, it doesn't matter if it's simpler, and the length can't be long, but if the story of more than 10,000 words is to be compiled into a picture book, there are at least ten or eight books, which is essentially not a picture book for children, but a comic book for older children......

Sun Peng now finally understands why there is such a creature as an illustrator.

After two days of annoyance, Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, it's better to do it in plain words...... It would be nice if I had read the original book in my previous life. ”

I don't know if there is a picture book with Sun Peng, but there are many versions of the original seven books on the Internet.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Louis."

The more I thought about it, the more troublesome I felt, so I decided to let only the first book in this set, that is, the one with the most box office hit, appear in this world, Sun Peng first mourned for the original author on the earth for a minute, and then dialed the phone of Zheng Ye, editor of Shuxiang Publishing House: "Hello Editor Zheng, hehe, I'm Lao Bai." ”

……

"I know, I know, two books might be reprinted at the same time next month, right? I've heard from brokers. ”

……

"Uh, about the publication of the Condor, you should discuss it with my agent, it's not convenient for me here, haha...... Hehe...... Hey hey ......"

……

"You can put the matter of the Condor aside for now, Editor Zheng, I have something I want to ask you to help me with!"

……

"Well, I know that your company also publishes children's books, and it seems that there are quite a few...... Yes, after all, children's books are also one of the largest sectors of the publishing market, and children's money is easy to make...... I just want to ask, do you know any outstanding children's picture book writers in this part of Beijing? ”

……

"Actually, it's nothing, I want to find a picture book writer to help draw the book!"

……

Wiping a cold sweat, Sun Peng hung up the phone.

It's too hard to talk to this editor.,Just want to find a good picture book writer.,That guy chattered about the things that were reprinted for a long time.,The matter of the Condor publication.,Later, I even asked what I was doing to find a picture book writer.,Is it going to change careers to write children's stories or something......

It's just a mother-in-law!

However, Zheng Ye promised to reply to him if he went down, which finally made Sun Peng breathe a sigh of relief.

There was no way, when he found that if he really wanted to finish painting the lion, witch and magic wardrobe by himself, I am afraid it would take at least a year, or even more than a year, and it was not necessarily suitable, he finally had no choice but to give up, and instead went to a professional children's picture book writer to help.

Sun Peng is the author, and others are the drawings.

Anyway, when Sun Peng told stories to his niece in his last life, he found that the text and drawings of many picture books were separated, just like a movie, there was a screenwriter who was responsible for writing the script, and a director who was responsible for turning them into pictures. And a well-written script does not necessarily mean that the movie is made well, and the director's skills are also very important......

……

Three days later, at ten o'clock in the morning.

Carrying a gift box, Sun Peng knocked on the door of a rental house in a dilapidated community.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The owner of the house opened the door and looked at Sun Peng carefully with a scrutinizing gaze through the thick glass lens.

Twenty-six or seventeen years old, about 1.6 meters tall, a little thin, relatively white complexion, and quite beautiful and delicate, this is Sun Peng's first impression of girls.

"Hello, are you Miss Yu Ruonan? I'm Sun Peng, who called you yesterday. ”

Looking at the young girl in front of him with somewhat disheveled hair and a somewhat pale face, Sun Peng smiled in a polite manner.

"Oh, Nan, there's a Mr. Sun looking for you!"

The young girl turned her head, first screamed at the house, then turned her head and smiled reluctantly, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Sun, right?" Please come in...... I'm sorry, it's a little messy at home, but you can bear with me. ”

When Sun Peng entered the room, another young girl had just come out of a room when she heard the sound.

“……”

Looking at the girl's appearance, the corners of Sun Peng's mouth couldn't help twitching several times.

…… Is this Sadako 3D?

A crumpled white nightdress, a messy hair that was scattered to cover the entire face, and a swaying footstep that seemed to be drifting...... If it weren't for the fact that there was a normal girl next to him, Sun Peng would definitely turn around and run away immediately!

"Ah Nan, hurry up and freshen up!"

The young girl also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over and pushed Yu Ruonan, pulling her into the bathroom with a worried face, and at the same time, her body was faintly blocking Sun Peng's vision, and then ran to the house to get her a dress in.

At the same time, Sun Peng was also looking at this rental house.

A typical small apartment, two bedrooms and one living room, the living room is particularly small, and the construction area is only fifty or sixty at most. There are many such houses in the capital, nothing strange, but what makes Sun Peng frown is that the old houses in the old community are just decorated, why is the place where the two girls live so messy? There was still a bucket of instant noodles from last night on the table, and various items were scattered all over the table on the floor, as if they had just been visited by thieves.

So after coming out of the bathroom, the girl immediately noticed Sun Peng's strange expression, and walked over with a slightly red face and said, "I'm sorry, Ah Nan stayed up late last night to draw and painted until the early hours of the morning, this is just getting up...... I'm sorry, she didn't tell me that someone was coming today, our house is really messy...... I'm sorry, you sit and wait for a while, I'll go boil the kettle of water. ”

After three embarrassments, the girl trotted to the kitchen.

When people said this, Sun Peng was a little embarrassed.

Originally, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, after all, he made an appointment to visit at ten o'clock this morning, and you were still sleeping after coming, which was naturally not important. But as soon as he heard that others were making drawings until the early hours of the morning, Sun Peng was relieved - artist, can he still be called an artist if there is no problem?

But......

After thinking about it, Sun Peng couldn't help but shake his head.

Even if you are very dedicated and have been painting until the early hours of the morning, you still make an appointment to meet in the morning! People are here and you haven't woken up yet, that's fundamentally a problem......

"Tsk, you deserve to live in this place!"

Recalling Zheng Ye's introduction to this Yu Ruonan, the painting is very good but the story is too poor, and the submission has been rejected repeatedly, Sun Peng vaguely seems to understand something. Even if the pen is played by imagination, but like this person who is completely immersed in his own world, he is either a genius or a waste material, and look at this living environment......

Just as Sun Peng was thinking nonsense, the girl walked out of the kitchen.

While she began to clean up the messy room, the girl said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Sun, Ruonan didn't tell me that someone came back today...... I'm Ruonan's roommate Chen Ruoyi, are you her friend? ”

"Huh? Oh no, it's not. ”

Sitting and watching other people busy, Sun Peng shook his head a little uncomfortably and smiled: "I also learned about Miss Yu through someone else's introduction, and I want to ask her to help draw a picture book...... Is Ms. Chan also a picture book writer? ”

Just glanced at the scattered room, it seems that some of the painting tools are double-ported.

"Hehe, a picture book writer is not a good one, he just knows how to draw."

The movements in her hand stopped, and Chen Ruoyi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Ruonan and I are college classmates, and we both like to draw picture books, so after graduating from college, we have always shared a house, after all, we can share the rent, and everyone's work is the same, so it won't affect each other...... Did Mr. Sun want to ask Ruonan to draw illustrations? She really does a great job of drawing, and has done many novels. ”

"No, no, it's not an illustration, it's a picture book!"

Shaking his head, Sun Peng explained with a smile: "I wrote a story for the children and wanted to ask someone to help draw it into a picture book, but it was just ...... The content may be a little too much. ”

"Somehow? How many exactly? ”

The movements in his hands did not stop, and Chen Ruoyi subconsciously asked.

"What ...... this?"

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng smiled with some uncertainty: "I can't estimate the specifics, but if it's the kind of book that seems to be with children...... It's the kind of thirty or forty pages long, and there are at least ten or eight books! ”

“……”

Just like a household robot suddenly ran out of power, Chen Ruoyi didn't move.
