In addition to talking about "Children's Art", Chen Qing also reported to Zhang Zhong about the situation of "The Devotion of Suspect X" in Neon.
"The momentum is quite strong now. After a few days, the daily sales volume is still about 50,000. I didn't expect that the market in Neon Country was quite optimistic." Chen Qing became much more optimistic now, and also
I feel a little confident that "The Devotion of Suspect X" will win this year's title.
"Well, if that's the case, let's add fuel to the fire and send out the Chinese and English versions later." Zhang Zhong said.
They had discussed this matter before, and Chen Qing nodded and said, "Okay, I will make arrangements now. If "The Devotion of Suspect
It has a big impact.”
Zhang Zhong knew what Chen Qing meant.
Thirty years ago to ten years ago, Neon Country has always been rich in thrillers and detective novels. However, in the past ten years, Neon's two-dimensional culture has become popular, and the physical book industry has also been greatly affected. For several years, the annual
The champions are all two-dimensional novels.
Because this type of novel has many channels and a wide reach, if it is animated or made into a TV series, it will quickly gather a group of readers.
In fact, other countries have also been affected, but only Neon Country has been affected the most.
After talking to Chen Qing on the phone, Zhang Zhong nodded and looked at teacher Zhang Pengpeng who was writing big characters, and shook his head with a smile. This girl has learned a lot more characters because of her calligraphy in the past few days, which is an unexpected surprise.
Zhang Zhong originally wanted to teach Pengpeng to write traditional Chinese characters, but after thinking about it, he decided to start with simple ones. Traditional Chinese characters can be learned at any time, and the learning of simplified characters can be regarded as the basis for learning traditional Chinese characters.
"Dad, look at the word 'beautiful' I wrote. Is it beautiful?" Pengpeng raised her head and asked when her father finished the call.
Zhang Zhong looked at the "beauty" on the paper, nodded and said, "Yes, it's very beautiful, but the upper part could be a little more straight."
The word "美" written by Peng Peng, the sheep on it is a little crooked... not a little bit, but very crooked. It looks like the word "美" is like a person, with his neck crooked.
After hearing what Zhang Zhong said, Pengpeng wrote a few more, but they were all not very good. The upper and lower parts did not seem to be on the same central axis.
Zhang Zhong patiently taught her, "Look, now find a middle line here, and then find the horizontal line..."
"Oh, I know." Pengpeng said.
"Do you really know?" Zhang Zhong was stunned. He was just half-sentence. Is this girl so good at learning now?
"Dad, let me write another one."
As he said that, Pengpeng picked up the brush.
Zhang Zhong watched from the side. Pengpeng's writing was good at first, but after writing the three horizontal lines above, she did not stop and directly wrote another horizontal line, then drew a long stroke, and then clicked
One stroke. In this way, one less stroke was written.
After finishing writing, she said proudly, "Look, I didn't write wrongly this time, right?"
Zhang Zhong said sternly, "The beautiful word "sheep" means "sheep" and "big" added together. "Sheep is big" and "sheep" is beautiful. If you write it like this, "sheep" is not "sheep" and "big" is not big. How can it be called beautiful?"
Perhaps sensing the seriousness of his father's tone, Pengpeng nodded obediently, "Yeah, I understand, Dad, and I will learn slowly."
Zhang Jian nodded and said, "It's okay if the handwriting doesn't look good at first, but don't think about taking shortcuts, just do it step by step. Dad used to write like this too."
"Yes, I understand." Pengpeng may not understand the meaning of Zhang Zhong's words, but she will definitely listen to what Zhang Zhong says.
When she wrote two more words, she made some progress this time, Zhang Zhong praised her a few words, and the girl asked Zhang Zhong in a low voice, "Dad, why do you say big sheep are beautiful? I think small sheep are cuter."
"Because in ancient times..."
Zhang Zhong briefly explained to Pengpeng the content of the word "美" in Shuowen Jiezi, which made the little girl nod her head.
In fact, "Shuowen Jiezi" is not necessarily accurate. It may also be a misunderstanding of later generations. It is said that the word "美" in Oracle Bone Inscriptions was once discovered. People found that "美" is more like a combination of sheep and human, similar to human.
Wearing the shape of sheep head jewelry, maybe the popular fashion at that time was to wear sheep head jewelry, so people wearing sheep head jewelry also represent beauty.
Zhang Zhong didn't tell Pengpeng about these things. She didn't even know a few words now, so there was no need to teach her these things deliberately. It was enough to mention a few words occasionally, and there was no need to explain it in too much detail or depth.
After taking Pengpeng to write for more than an hour, Hu Huifang and the others also came back. It was time for Pengpeng to watch TV, and Zhang Zhong also ran to the study to continue working.
He has finished writing all the fairy tales in his hand now, and he can release a single volume as soon as "Zero Zero One" is released over there.
The main work now is to write "The Adventures of Chun Yufen". The preliminary work of this book has basically been completed by now. The structure, framework, and story line are all out. It only needs some adjustments and modifications in the later stage.
The manuscript is complete.
He broke the original "Gulliver's Travels" into pieces, separated the whole story, leaving only the key parts, and then combined it with the plot of "Through the Looking Glass" to outline each story.
Of course, it is impossible for him to scratch his eyebrows and beard all at once. Choosing the plot is also the key point.
In the middle of his creation, he had some hesitation.
When he originally wrote this book, the main plot of his design was that Chun Yufen was in danger at sea and accidentally entered these countries. The version and outline of this story were the same as "Gulliver's Travels".
In the middle period, he was a little greedy and wanted to add the mysterious and mysterious Baihua Fairy from "Flowers in the Mirror".
But in the end, he gave up the idea. These ideas and materials were very good. At that time, they were mixed together in a big pot and stewed. The stew might not only be unpalatable, but could actually poison people.
At the end of the work, Zhang Zhong was not in a hurry. He revised the manuscript for two hours, told Peng Peng two stories, and then returned to the study. This time he did not continue working on "The Adventures of Chun Yufen".
Say to the system, "System, use 30,000 points to draw a book for me."
System: [Please confirm, do you want to use 30,000 points to draw a prize and use them all? 】
The saying that once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years, it may be because you were deceived by Zhang Zhong last time, so you should be extra careful with your words this time and try not to let Zhang Zhong take advantage of him.
Zhang Zhong didn't think about cheating, so he nodded and said: "Yes."
