Chapter 327: Where the Writer Fears Most
Qiananti Tian Chengyu, of course he knows this light. "The Dark Goblin of Flames" has the second name, and the content is actually the second in the middle.
It is the debut work of Yamada Fairy, which is loved by teenagers in District 11, and the book became a hit within a short period of release, earning countless bills for the 14-year-old Yamada Fairy.
Chitanda thought for a moment and asked, "That means that the translation should be completed by October in conjunction with the animation?" But no matter how hard you do, you probably won't be able to print it before it's animated. ”
Aunt Tsurumi nodded, "Don't worry about this - the original Chinese and English translations were carried out by Mr. Yamada Fairy himself, and the Chinese translation of the first volume has already been printed on the Kadokawa side of Taiwan." However, the teacher had to devote his energy to the animation work at the moment, so this time the translator was urgently needed to translate the second and third volumes. ”
Qianantitian Chengyu wiped his sweat, a little powerless to complain. The setting of the Yamada fairy is indeed proficient in the eight Chinese dialects, and I have to say that it is really versatile......
The car drove all the way to Tokyo, but instead of going to the business department building of Kadokawa Shoten, where Aunt Tsurumi worked, I took the fast lane to the Fantasia Bunko in Fujimi Shobo.
As we all know, Kadokawa has three directly affiliated libraries, namely the Kadokawa beans library for the girl direction, the Kadokawa sneaker library for the boy direction, and the Kadokawa Ruby library for the BL direction, and the larger libraries owned by the group are the Fujimi Fantasia library, the deneki library, the Fami dori library and the MF library J.
For example, Izumi Masamune and Senjumura Sei belong to the Kadokawa sneaker library, while Kasumigaoka Shiba and Yamada Fairy belong to the Fantasia library of Fujimi Shobo.
Although each library belongs to the same group, it is basically a competitive relationship, but when it comes to animation, games, overseas affairs, etc., the corresponding company directly under the headquarters is mainly in charge.
It took nearly an hour to arrive at the Fantasia Bunko Building in Chiyoda-ku.
The two took the elevator from the underground garage directly to the sixth floor, and Aunt Chitanda Narita met Yamada Chris, the full editor of Fujimi Bunko's works.
Chris has a broad forehead and a slender body, and is undoubtedly a blond and blue-eyed European and American man, with a thin but strong body, just like Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings".
At the same time, he is also the elder brother of the Yamada goblin, and the debut of his sister Yamada goblin is naturally inevitably promoted by him, and he is undoubtedly a very skillful sister control.
Chris Yamada seemed a bit serious, and even though he tried hard to show enthusiasm, his words were still a little stiff. After that, he apologized to Aunt Tsurumi again and again for the unexpected situation in the translation work, and it seems that the drop of the chain of the Yamada fairy has really caused a lot of trouble.
But considering that she is only a fourteen-year-old girl, such a large workload is indeed not humane.
After the greeting introduction, Sentanda Narita was temporarily arranged to wait in a lounge in the editorial department. He then had to take a translation test to determine if he could get the job.
I have to say that with the help of Aunt Tsurumi, it can be regarded as avoiding countless processes and troubles, at least I easily got the opportunity to take the translation test, and I was not questioned whether I had the level and qualification to translate Chinese.
You must know that he is only a high school student, and he is a senior high school student who has only been enrolled for two months, and his age is actually no different from that of a junior high school student.
………
In the lounge, there are just simple round tables and chairs, with a Japanese-Chinese translation dictionary on them, and a few pots of tender green succulents next to them, which look delicious, no, very cute.
Waiting for the editor of Yamada to leave, Aunt Tsurumi flipped through the dictionary with her hands and handed it to Chitanda, and said with a light smile: "Do you want to hug Buddha feet temporarily?" ”
Chitanda Chengyu took the dictionary and said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm still confident." ”
"Yes~~ Then Auntie is waiting to celebrate your success."
Chitanda tilted his head, "Celebration? Is there anything delicious? ”
"Of course there is, if it rains, I'll take you and Rumi to eat hot pot when the time comes!"
Aunt Tsurumi also seemed to be quite confident in him, and after saying a few words, she simply stood up, "I won't accompany you, go to the editorial office over there to see my friends, and call my aunt when I'm done." ”
"Okay, Auntie go get busy!"
Aunt Tsurumi left, and Sentanda Narita waited alone in the lounge for about half an hour, and then saw Editor Yamada Chris hurriedly walk into the lounge again.
"Edit Yamada, is it time?"
Editor Chris nodded, "Yes...... Sentanda-san, another translation teacher has also arrived, let's go upstairs to the conference room together. ”
"Do I have to meet and translate together? Don't know who that teacher is? ”
Qianantitian Chengyu hesitated. With his age, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, he will be ridiculed, and when the time comes, it will be twists and turns, but it will not be beautiful.
Yamada Chris had a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Rukawa-sensei from Waka Translation Agency, is there any problem?" ”
After thinking about it, Qianantitian Chengyu still thinks that it is better to say it directly, although the idea is relatively dark, but in fact, many things are like this.
"Editor Yamada, that's what I think...... After all, it's a two-choice competition, so I think it's better to separate rooms and test at the same time, and then judge them in a unified manner. There will be no unexpected conflicts that way. ”
Yamada Chris patted his head and said suddenly, "Oh-so, don't worry." This time, the second to fifth volumes will be translated at the same time, as long as the level is sufficient, there is no too strong competition, and nine times out of ten, you still have the opportunity to cooperate. ”
Qianantitian Chengyu breathed a sigh of relief, this is not bad, maybe he can broaden some contacts, and it will be more convenient to receive some translation business and work in the future. The only thing to worry about is how much income a volume of translation can have.
"Understood, then please ask Editor Yamada to take me over, or don't let Rukawa-sensei wait for a long time."
"Nothing, it's what I'm supposed to do."
Editor Yamada led the way, and the two did not take the elevator, but took the stairs up to the area on the eighth floor.
The aisle on the eighth floor is a little narrow, with pale white lights. After all, it was the famous Fujimi Bunko, and Sentanda Narita looked around with some curiosity.
I saw that there are a lot of rooms on this floor, and they are all equipped with iron security doors with leaky windows, which is very different from ordinary business buildings, so it can be said that the defense is tight, and I don't know how many confidential documents are kept inside.
Sentanda Narita gave up his curiosity and asked about the translation test for a while, "Edit Yamada, how is the test going to be conducted for a while?" ”
"The editorial department has prepared a manuscript of about 4,000 words, and when the time comes, Chitanda will only need to write down the translated content or type it on the computer. After that, I asked Chitanda-san to wait for a while, and I will hand over the translated work to the original author, Yamada Fairy, who also understands Chinese. ”
Sentanda Chengyu was taken aback, "Teacher Yamada Fairy is also here?" ”
The Chris editor smiled and pointed ahead, "Yes...... In the room on the right corner at the front, you're busy with animation scripting? ”
"Oh...... That's right. ”
Qianantitian Chengyu finally understood what was going on with the iron doors in front of him.
He quietly looked inside from an iron door with palpitations, and sighed a little: "This is the little black house that the authors are most afraid of!" ”
The two of them walked forward for more than ten meters, and suddenly there was a fierce noise in the corridor to the left of the conference room.
Editor Chris shook his head and comforted Chitanda: "Don't worry, it's not illegal detention. ”
Sentanda: "........."
At this time, there was a terrible cry from the cell: "It's too shameful for the Machida editor to trick me in!" Let me out! I really have something going on at home! ”
"Xiaoshi, you can finish the third volume of "Love Festival" here with peace of mind, I have already contacted your family, and your parents are very supportive."
The woman who was called the editor of Machida was very calm, and she knew from her tone that she was not moved at all, and even said vigorously, "Xiaoshi, except for you can't go out, you can tell me anything you need, and promise to get it for you." Whether it's a favorite snack, or a work to refer to...... No problem. ”
The person who was tricked into the small black room was obviously even more angry, and asked, "Can you get anything?" ”
"It's okay if it's not too outrageous."
"And what about a man? Can you get it too? I want to go home! It's about the happiness of my life! ”
“…………”
The Machida editor was helplessly silent.
Sentanda Narita, who happened to be passing by, paused and looked towards the cell door in front of Machida's editor......
"Shiyu-senpai?"
