In the end, the chubby editor Pan insisted on sending Jiang Shan to the door of the publishing house.
"Xiao Jiang," he held Jiang Shan's hand and said worriedly:
"Ordinarily, your level is definitely in line with the standard of 5 yuan a piece, but you have also seen the publishing house's regulations. The starting price for novices is 3 yuan."
Just now, Editor-in-Chief Pan has been fighting for royalties for Jiangshan, but he has no choice but to be suppressed by the regulations.
At this moment, he was very worried about losing a painter like Jiang Shan: "But brother, I can promise you that as long as this work is completed on time, the next book will definitely give you 5 yuan."
"Sure, I'm sure I'll feel at ease with your words."
Jiang Shan is not worried about royalties at all.
Starting from 1978, the circulation of little people's books will continue to rise, and the royalties will also rise accordingly. The difficulty is the extremely long creation cycle.
But Jiang Shan was not worried about his hand speed at all, as "poverty" would force him to run fast.
After thinking about the journey, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Li Ruocheng waving to him through the window.
Jiang Shan came over happily: "Uncle Li, Editor Pan asked me to say hello to you!"
"So, your job is done?"
"It has to happen!" Jiang Shan stretched out three fingers: "Three yuan a page."
"How many pages are there in a book?"
Jiang Shan took out the pagination script of "Three Strikes of Bone Demons": "This is a single book, with 36 pages and 72 pictures."
"Little book?"
Li Ruocheng was a little surprised. He had always thought it was an illustration: "They actually asked you to draw a little book from the very beginning? Pan Hua is really brave!"
"Are you looking down on people again?" Jiang Shan waved his hand: "You didn't see how I killed everyone in the editorial office today."
"I started to get excited even before I got a penny," Li Ruocheng reminded: "Hurry up and help me proofread the manuscript!"
"Me?...I proofread the manuscript for you? How can I have that ability!"
The day Jiang Shan told the children a story, Li Ruocheng had this thought: "Didn't you tell me not to underestimate you? Hurry up!"
It was said to be a proofreading, but in Jiangshan's eyes it was impeccable. When the proofreading was over, Jiangshan felt that his English level had improved a lot.
When he was leaving the house, he turned around and said, "Uncle Li, just call me when you are too busy!"
"I'm afraid you'll be the one who's too busy," Li Ruocheng waved his hand without raising his head, "Don't worry, I told you, I'll call you uncle from now on."
"See you later Uncle Li!"
It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Shan really didn't even have time to eat, so he ate sesame seed cakes all the way and rushed to Pujiang Film Studio.
In a daze, Jiang Shan seemed to have returned to the high-spirited moment when he first entered the workplace in his previous life.
It's great to be young, look at this long-legged one, rising to the top step by step.
Just ten meters away from the translation studio, Jiang Shan saw Uncle Lu in the communication room waving to him.
"How about it, Uncle Lu?" Jiang Shan jogged a few steps: "Did you tell me this morning?"
"That's right," Uncle Lu smiled warmly: "Don't worry, no one saw me when I handed the bun to him."
Just this morning, Jiang Shan just came out of get off work from the printing factory.
I bought 12 large meat buns without stopping and sent them to the communication room of the translation studio.
After force-feeding two meat buns to Uncle Lu in the reception room.
Please ask him to ask for leave from Team Leader Lu of the translation team and give him the buns by the way.
He didn't forget to promise Factory Director Hu breakfast.
After thanking Uncle Lu, Jiang Shan immediately entered the group, only to see Director Hu personally sitting in the recording studio of "Pursuit".
"Leader," Jiang Shan looked surprised: "You didn't come to arrest me personally, did you?"
Hu Xiao, who was wearing headphones, ignored him and was listening intently to every word of the voice actor in the recording studio.
Only then did Jiang Shan discover that in today's "Pursuit" dubbing team, there were many colleagues from other teams standing quietly.
Everyone was staring at the plot on the TV.
The surprise couldn't be concealed in everyone's eyes.
In 1978, the reason why people were so fascinated by translated films was probably because they opened a window to the world for Chinese people.
In the short 100-minute running time of "Pursuit", everyone can see an unprecedented modern life.
In the lens, the big city with shining neon lights is colorful, and cars, refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines can be seen everywhere.
There are even many scenes of horseback riding and motorcycle riding.
From time to time, you can also see private jets, country villas, and fashionable clothing...
Jiang Shan looked at the colleagues around him who were accustomed to wearing gray, blue and green clothes. For them, this was indeed too shocking.
He knew that within a few years, these electronic watches, color TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, motorcycles... that could only appear in movies now would come flooding in.
Refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, and tape recorders will also become the "new four major items" to replace the original "old four major items" that have three turns and one beep.
Just as he was dazed, Director Hu came over and patted him: "Follow me to the office."
In fact, Jiangshan's re-translation work has already been completed.
"Pursuit" has entered the stage of interpretation by voice actors.
At this point in every movie, Hu Xiao will come and listen to the first part.
After the two walked out of the recording studio one after another.
Hu Xiao frowned and asked: "I heard from Lu Yi, what kind of comic book artist did you go to the publishing house to interview today?"
"Yes," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "I quite like painting."
"Well," Hu Xiao glanced at him: "Although you are only a temporary translator in our factory, you can't be careless about your work."
"Don't worry, director," Jiang Shan said with seriousness written on his face: "Painters don't have to work in a publishing house, they just take their drawings home to create."
"Oh?" Hu Xiao asked curiously: "They hired you?"
"That is."
"I don't see that you are quite an all-rounder."
"Director, please rest assured, I only give priority to translated videos."
Jiang Shan said that he was serious, but Hu Xiao looked at it inexplicably amused: "Okay, since you put it first, just help me think of a word."
At this moment, they had already entered the translation team, and Lu Yi, who was sitting in his seat, had already been waiting there.
"Yesterday Pujiang TV station sent an American TV series," Hu Xiao said while gesturing to Lu Yi's projection machine: "They entrusted our factory to dub and translate it."
"Oh?" Jiang Shan became interested immediately: "What TV series?"
At this time, the screen had jumped out of the TV.
Team leader Lu said excitedly: "Garrison Suicide Squad, you have never seen a TV series with this theme."
Factory Director Hu on the side also nodded in agreement and said: "It is indeed very interesting."
Jiang Shan didn't say anything. He had to say that he had never watched this TV series.
This passionate "Garrison Suicide Squad" was originally scheduled to be broadcast in 1979 in its previous life.
Later, due to various reasons, it was delayed until 1980 before it was released.
There are a total of twenty-six episodes of the TV series, but after the 15th episode was played, a line of subtitles appeared: The play has ended.
