"Okay, that's it."

Without much effort, Anna persuaded Detective Cat to take on the task of matching a set of illustrations for the Blazing World.

"Well, then I'll pick some writing background and information to send you over, it's best to read it first in the past two days, establish some prior understanding of the work, or the old rule, we have to find time to make a phone call every day......"

They briefly communicated a few details of the task.

Anna gives her a reading list to go through all of them before she starts working on them.

When I finished "The Little Prince" before.

Anna hopes that the detective cat can simplify the complex, empty herself, and forget all the literary discussions about "The Little Prince" on the Internet.

Don't look at any expert analysis.

Like a blank sheet of paper, you should use your heart to project and render the literary ideas of Saint-Exupéry.

This task is the opposite.

"The Little Prince" is a fairy tale with zero reading threshold.

"Blazing World" is a hard-boiled utopian, and although the style of the writing is also close to a fairy tale, the words are full of scientific and political metaphors.

This is very similar to Gulliver's Travels.

If you don't do any accumulation and look directly, you can only see some boring adventure sections of the big country and the small country fighting.

If you accumulate a certain amount of literature, you can read another completely different work.

Gulliver's travels allude to the partisan rivalry between the Whigs and the Tories in the British Parliament.

The plot of Blazing World is an insinuation of the political struggle between Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton.

Robert Hooke was the discoverer of the law of elasticity, the proposer of wave science, the founder of microscopy, and the famous Greenwich Observatory.

He was also Sir Newton's main political rival at the Royal Society, and the struggle between Hooke and Newton can be called a legend in the history of science.

Legend has it that Lord Niu even ordered the destruction of all oil paintings of Hook in the association after succeeding Hook as president of the Royal Society of Science.

Mrs. Cavendish wrote this fiction book.

It was used to satirize Robert Hooke in 1666.

Before reading this booklet, which is even shorter than The Little Prince.

Anna gave a lot of bizarre supporting materials, including "The Chronicles of the Royal Society", "The Theory of the Particulates", and "From Absolutism to Experimentalism".

It doesn't matter if you can't finish reading it.

At least read all of their long wiki entries to see what this stuff is.

The chat ended.

Anna had a feeling of unfinishedness.

"Blazing World" is a very short story, and it is expected that it will only take less than ten illustrations in total, and it should not take long to complete this task.

In terms of volume and influence, it is destined to be difficult to compare with "The Little Prince".

Just a rush substitute when there is no suitable choice.

Miss Elena would like to find a valuable assignment that will significantly improve the career of the detective cat in all aspects.

In fact......

"Such tasks are not unfounded."

Anna hesitated.

She opened the computer email for her Mr. Sloth account.

There was a letter that the girl had pinned to the top of the computer screen.

Strictly speaking, this email is not an illustration request, but an email from an old father asking for help.

[Dear Mr. Sloth:]

[I read the new edition of the "Little Prince" book of Detective Cat Lady, and it was impressive.

It's not often in my career that I've seen such a talented newcomer and such amazing paintings. First of all, congratulations to you and your acting artist for creating an illustrated fairy tale that will brighten the lives of many children!

In my mind, that's what our industry is all about.

I know that at this moment, the release of "The Little Prince" will be accompanied by a lot of publicity activities, and after creating such moving illustrations, Detective Cat Lady may be tempted to enjoy a relatively leisurely vacation.

Sorry to disturb her at this time.

However, my personal doctor suggested that for the sake of the health of my autistic son, Tony, I wanted to contact the illustrator himself, who had magical drawing skills.

This March, Tony just celebrated his forty-first birthday, and I hope you can empathize with the feelings of an old man who has been afflicted by autism for forty-one years.

I have a small house in the Emerald Lakeside town of New Zealand with a beautiful and soothing view, and I wonder if I would have the privilege of inviting Detective Cat to my home.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Sorry again for bothering you.

- Your faithful Jane Jacques Arnaud]

Miss Elena was shocked when she saw the contents of the email in her mailbox last weekend.

It remains to be seen whether "The Little Prince" will have a magical effect in the field of autism.

But the parents' anticipation has been ignited.

At a time when some anxious parents are still asking for new books on Amazon.

Some people have already sent the email to the mailbox of the detective cat agent.

Consider the short signature at the end of the mailbox. It's reasonable for the other party to be able to contact you.

Jane Jacques Arnaud.

There is no one of the greatest illustrators born in the first two decades of the twenty-first century.

Scholastic Group Master Award for Outstanding Contribution to Writing and Art, Hans Christian Andersen Award double winner.

He is an artist who paints fairy tales to the extreme, an illustrator "emperor" who can sell an illustration for a million dollars.

People say,

Since the establishment of the Scholastic Group after World War II, among the creators it has cooperated, the one with the strongest personal earning power is not the fantasy queen J. K Rowling.

Rather, the godfather of Pop Art illustrator Andy Warhol.

The sales of the "Harry Potter" series, the movie IP, and even the ticket revenue of Universal Studios around the world for Hogwarts theme parks add up to about $8 billion.

Andy Warhol's more than 10,000 portraits, sketches, and experimental works — in the most heyday of Pop Art — may have been able to reach the $10 billion side according to more radical estimates.

Regardless of how much of this is foam ingredient.

It is a miracle in the history of art that a popular work such as illustration can be sold for tens of millions of dollars.

The Scholastic Group's North American headquarters has a commemorative exhibition hall with commemorative posters signed by famous writers and illustrators who have collaborated with them.

On the left side of the exhibition hall are book authors, and on the right are illustrators.

It's not the three presidents who have ever published their memoirs, not J.K. Rowling, or Andy Warhol who have been honored to be on the center wall.

Rather, Toni Morrison and Jane Arnold.

Ms. Rowling and Godfather Pop can only be ranked third or fourth, respectively.

Toni Morrison was ranked at the top of the group, and it's hard to argue that there is no political bonus without her being a representative of the black women's civil rights movement.

Some have called her the female writer's version of Martin Luther King, Jr.

And Jane Arnold can overpower Andy Warhol purely by personal strength.

There is no comparison between the two of them in the commercial market, but in terms of recognition and award-winning resumes in the illustration world, Jane Arnaud is superior.

In particular, in 2013, the illustration book "Miracle of Oz" won six top awards: the Eisen Award for Best Illustration, the Illustration of the Year Award, the World Fantasy Award, the Caldecit Award, the Scholastic Group Master Award for Outstanding Contribution to Writing and Art, and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.

The industry has dubbed 2013 "the year of Jane Arnold's coronation".

The reason why the price of this old gentleman's works is not as high as Andy Warhol is closely related to his relatively low-key dislike of showing his character in front of the public media.

What he lacks is the luck of being hyped up by commerce, not the ability to paint.

It can be said that

Jane Arnaud is the winner of the perfect match to reach the limits of any illustrator's dream.

"Is the son of this master of art a patient with autism?"

Miss Elena also read this email and learned about this surprising news.

In retrospect,

Mr. Jane Arnaud has always kept a low profile in front of the media.

The public called him "the unsociable genius of Mune" and "the Einstein of the art world".

The public images of Mr. Old and Van Doorne, who attend Fashion Week every day and appear in front of paparazzi shots on beaches around the world with their arms across the arms of hot bikini beauties, are almost two completely different personalities.

Even at the Danish Hans Christian Andersen Award ceremony, he was the only one who appeared.

In addition to being introverted, it is not necessarily without the factor of protecting family members from media invasion.

There's no harm in having a good relationship with such an illustrator.

To be able to gain Jane Arnold's friendship and even gratitude would have been inconceivably helpful throughout her career.

Art is a network game.

The great painters of the same magnitude as Mr. Cao Xuan can still be picked out among the three or five in today's serious art world.

Jane Arnold doesn't even have a slightly weaker opponent in the field of illustration.

Prominent is the great bodhisattva in a small temple.

Sir Brown can step on the detective cat as much as he wants, but if he were replaced by Jane Arnold, he would be questioned from the beginning.

On a more utilitarian note, Anna recommends that Uncle Osborne nominate Detective Cat as a candidate for this year's Scholastic Group Masters of Writing and Art Award.

According to the selection rules, the Masters of Writing and Art Award is nominated by the public and some senior management of the group.

Then, a five-member selection committee invited by the publishing house, including illustrators, media professionals, critics, writers and curators, selected four Outstanding Contribution Awards and one Outstanding Contribution Award from the shortlist.

Over the past few years,

Jean Arnold has been the chair of the five-member selection committee and has played a crucial role in the decision-making process of the entire winners.

All in all

If the Detective Cat drawing could really help Jane Arnold.

Then this must be a more noteworthy task than both Blazing World and Blue Moon combined.

In a sense,

It's even rarer than the opportunity to illustrate The Little Prince.

In the face of Jane Arnold's email invitation, there are currently two main reasons why Anna is still hesitant.

First, Detective Cat Lady is very obsessed with keeping her identity a secret.

In the past few days, several TV stations have wanted to interview Detective Cat, and there are several invitations from well-known variety shows, all of which have been rejected by Detective Cat.

secondly

Is it really reliable that illustrations can cure autism?

Ms. Elena is a firm believer that detective cat drawings have the power to reach people's hearts, but whether they can play a significant role in autism therapy.

She's not so sure, either.

Illustration intervention, reading colorful fairy tale books is indeed a common treatment option for people with autism.

However, Jane Arnaud herself is the best master of fairy tale illustration on the planet.

If it is a normal illustration, it will be effective.

Why did Jane Arnaud herself sell her face and beg for help?

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment is likely.

Miss Elena was still considering the feasibility of this matter.

The University of London's research on the illustrations for The Little Prince continues, and it will be a long process.

Illustration therapy is much simpler than the clinical trial and promotion of some new drugs with complex pharmacological components. After all, looking at the illustration will have no effect at best.

It's hard to have the side effects of poisoning people.

But neither the FDA in the United States, the EMA in the European Union, or the MHRA in the United Kingdom are very efficient.

A new experimental therapy goes through complex formalities and reviews at every step, from publication to approval to market.

When it comes to medical propositions, it is difficult to get an accurate conclusion in a year and a half.

Even the research team will be very tight-mouthed to the outside world.

This kind of thing is not a health care product that fools people, it is completely bound to academic reputation.

It's hard for the average person to get some news.

But Anna is no ordinary person.

Who made Miss Elena one of the biggest landowners in the country? When you have enough money, many problems can be easily solved.

The reason why Anna didn't mention this Jane Arnold matter to Detective Cat's sister just now was that she was inquiring about the news these days.

The girl took out her mobile phone and dialed a call from the University of London's Foreign Affairs Department.

"This is Anna Elena, may I speak with your Executive Vice Chancellor Hunt?" I'm interested in one of your medical projects. ”

Miss Elena had just donated a cheque for €5 million to the King's Hospital the University of London the day before yesterday.

The scale of the Anna family's industry, whether it is reasonable tax avoidance or giving back to the society, naturally established a charitable foundation under the family's name very early.

The law stipulates that charitable foundations must devote at least a certain percentage of their assets to charitable causes.

This donation of 5 million euros is equivalent to using up this year's quota.

If you ask the accounting department to do the accounting, you may be able to review the expenses for two years.
