Chapter 2: What Did I Rob You?
"Fortunately, I didn't spend my whole life on this, otherwise this life would have been wasted. Du Ziyuan, who is sober-minded, will naturally not drill this bull's horn again.
He knows exactly where his advantage lies now.
Don't think about musical, he doesn't have that talent. It's feasible to copy songs and scripts, but it's very likely to make wedding dresses for others, after all, singers and actors are always more popular than songwriters and screenwriters.
He doesn't know how to play musical instruments, and he can't even create games, so it's almost as good as letting him play games......
Come to think of it, the most suitable thing for him right now is nothing more than novels and paintings. But the competition for novels is too fierce, and I don't know how many people submit them every day. After all, there have already been people who have succeeded on this road, and everyone feels that this road is more stable. If he is a newcomer to submit a manuscript, he may not even be able to see the manuscript in front of the review editor.
"As a result, I still have to do my old job. Du Ziyuan looked at his hands, not knowing if these hands could reproduce the skills in his dream.
To be honest, he is still very optimistic about his prospects. After all, the entertainment industry in this world has only developed for 80 years, and before that, swords and swords were the mainstream of the world, and literati and artists were only a niche.
Although today's social atmosphere is much more open than that of feudal society, the imperial system is still there, and it is still ancient. Everyone still paints with brushes, and paints ink paintings, which have reached the pinnacle of artistic conception, but they are obscure and difficult to understand, and are not suitable for the public.
It's not that there are no painters who take the popular route, such as some big touches who paint pictures of the Spring Palace. In Du Ziyuan's view, they are book painters in the fairy world.
Moreover, the "painting" of the fairy world still stays on the landscape portrait, and there is no concept of "comics", and even the spring palace picture has few plots. The top of the sky is the degree of adding one or two illustrations to other people's novels.
The ink painting skills of these "masters" are superb, and the top ones are better than Gu Kaizhi and Wu Daozi on the earth, and there are many achievers.
However, for Du Ziyuan, it is useless, because he can't do it at all.
"After all, ink painting still needs enough foundation and talent, and not everyone can play it. "Du Ziyuan naturally doesn't know how to paint ink paintings, and it is impossible for him not to use his greatest advantages.
He wants to bring his favorite "comics" in his dreams to this world, and he believes that this will definitely have a huge impact on the cultural and entertainment industry of Hun Tianxing, and he may be the first to eat crabs, and he may be able to become the founder of the mountain. When the time comes, it will not be a pipe dream to ascend to immortals.
Now there is a problem, though, he doesn't have the tools.
Neither the brushes nor the paper he needed were anything native to this world. It can be made with the craftsmanship of the armillary star, but it must be custom-made.
Du Ziyuan weighed the money bag, and there were about 3 taels of silver and more than a dozen copper plates in it: "I don't know if it's enough." ”
Just do it when you think of it, Du Ziyuan even left the house and walked towards the town.
His family lived by the sea, about ten miles from the nearest town, and it was just after noon and it was too late to walk there.
"It's glaring. "I don't know how many days Du Ziyuan, who hasn't been out of the house, can't stand the scorching sun in the sky.
Legend has it that every star is inhabited by an immortal, and the sun is inhabited by the Sun True Monarch. Sun Zhenjun is just a title, this immortal also has a name among the folk, called "Xudong Daxian", taking the meaning of the rising sun, in some legends, this simply became his real name.
The armillary star has existed for too long, and mortals have multiplied from generation to generation, although it is said that they are descendants of immortals, but many people may not be able to see an immortal cultivator in their lifetime, and most of them can only hear a strange thing in legends.
When Du Ziyuan walked into the town against the sun, he already felt a little dizzy.
"I guess I didn't suffer from heat stroke. He was reluctant to spend money on popsicles and went straight inside.
He hadn't gone far when he came across a crowd of people gathered around a roadside stall.
"What's going on?" Du Ziyuan curiously went up to watch, and found that it was a stall selling fish. This is a common stall in the waterfront area, and there are other fish stalls next to it, so why is everyone gathered here?
Du Ziyuan just wanted to ask a question, but he heard a person inside say loudly: "Selling fish is strong, you are too greedy, aren't you!10 taels of gold! You rob!"
Immediately after that, another slightly shrill voice sounded: "What did I rob you? Am I a robber? I brought it all the way from the deep sea, and how much danger did I take? 10 taels of gold should not be given? Look, this is a golden-scaled carp, have you ever seen such a pure gold-scaled carp in your life? 10 taels of gold at a fixed price, love to buy, don't buy and roll, look at your stingy appearance!"
"You ......" the man was so frightened that he was reluctant to pay for the fish, so he left with hatred, "At your price, a fool came to buy it" and left.
The rest of the people curiously leaned up to take a look, and Du Ziyuan was among them. I saw a golden carp swimming in a large wooden barrel on the ground. It's not that Du Ziyuan hasn't seen a golden carp, but it's just a little golden, and it's really the first time I've seen this like this one with a well-polished gold body.
However, this kind of thing is just a look, how many people can get 10 taels of gold in this kind of poor and remote land? The purchasing power of the currency of the country of Aolan can buy a large steamed bun with one copper plate, 1,000 copper plates are equal to 1 tael of silver, and 100 taels of silver are equal to 1 tael of gold. If you have to use soft sister coins, 10 taels of gold is almost equal to 1 million yuan more.
Who would spend that much money on a fish?
After Du Ziyuan glanced at it, he turned to a calligraphy and painting utensils store not far away.
As a result, when I went in and asked, the cheapest custom brush here also cost 5 taels of silver. It is even more expensive if you have special requirements. The excessive development of the entertainment industry has skyrocketed the price of its peripheral products and appliances, and 80 years ago, a brush with 50 copper plates was up to the sky, but now it has risen more than 100 times.
"3 taels, that's the only thing you can afford. The shopkeeper knew Du Ziyuan and knew his identity, so he didn't hide his disdain, pointing to the pile of white paper next to him and sneering.
Du Ziyuan turned around and found that what he was referring to was the lowest-grade paper in the store, not to mention rough, and it didn't absorb much water, so some families wanted to enlighten their children and were reluctant to spend more money to buy it.
Du Ziyuan, who felt insulted, silently kept this matter in his heart, he has no ability to slap Xiao Er's face now, and he doesn't like to shout "Don't bully the poor boy" with his neck and others. But he won't go on like this, sooner or later he'll slap these people in the face.
Du Ziyuan, who didn't plan to continue listening to ridicule in the store, left directly, planning to go to other stores to have a look. But just as he walked out of the store, it suddenly went dark in front of him, and it seemed that he had hit something. Du Ziyuan, who was weak, was knocked to the ground on the spot, and his head was dizzy.
