Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

Jiang Weimin stayed at home for a few days before setting off for Qingdao Publishing House again.

The reason is simple, because Teacher Shan Tianfang has already arrived in Qingdao.

When Jiang Weimin arrived at Qingdao Publishing House, Shan Tianfang was concentrating on reading his "Police Dog Attack" series of comic books.

"Hello, Teacher Shan Tianfang! I am the author of "Police Dog Attack" and "Father's War of Resistance", and it was also me who proposed to Uncle Song that you help adapt them into storytelling."

"President Song also told me about this. Comrade Xiao Jiang, I really want to thank you for asking me to adapt the storytelling!"

"In fact, it is mainly because you, Mr. Shan, are a master in the storytelling world, and I have had the honor of listening to your works.

Your performance style is unique, your voice is sophisticated and vigorous, your speech is natural and fluent, your language is vivid, rich and interesting, and your writing is logical and thorough.

So I have always hoped to have the opportunity to work with you. " Jiang Weimin sincerely expressed his respect for Shan Tianfang.

"Comrade Xiao Jiang, you are really too kind. However, I must admit that your two works are indeed very suitable for adaptation into storytelling.

That’s why I specifically asked President Song to call you so that we can discuss this together.”

"It is my honor to communicate with Teacher Shan. How is your health now?

I heard that you were injured during the struggle session and lost your teeth. Also, your voice became hoarse because of your anxiety and anger.”

Despite all these hardships, Shan Tianfang did not complain or give up. Instead, he persisted in his storytelling art, often reciting storytelling lines while hoeing the fields.

However, fate did not seem to favor him. Shan Tianfang underwent three vocal cord surgeries, and although he successfully saved his voice, his voice became hoarse and strange.

Faced with this situation, Shan Tianfang said calmly: "There is nothing wrong with my health now. I have braces now. However, my voice has become hoarse. But please rest assured, Comrade Xiao Jiang, this will not affect my storytelling."

"Teacher Shan, I think your current voice is more useful for storytelling."

Shan Tianfang smiled and expressed his gratitude, and then the two began to discuss how to adapt the "Police Dog Attack" series and "Father's War of Resistance" series of comic books.

“Teacher Shan, what I mean is that the Police Dog Attack series must maintain its suspense and keep readers tense and curious.

Therefore, it is necessary to build suspense at key moments of each story and leave a fascinating plot at the end.

This can increase readers' anticipation for the next episode. At the same time, at the end of each episode, use your usual closing phrase "To know what will happen next, wait and see" to attract readers to continue watching.

For the "Father's War of Resistance" series, more emphasis needs to be placed on the description of battle scenes so that readers can feel the cruelty and intensity of war."

“Okay, Comrade Xiao Jiang, since what you said coincides with what I was thinking, I will adapt it according to your requirements.

I will adapt a comic strip for you in the next two days. If there is no problem, I will continue. "

"Teacher Shan, we can discuss this anytime. I will be at the publishing house these days. If you have any questions or need to exchange opinions, please feel free to contact me."

"Okay, let's keep in touch."

"Then Mr. Shan, you can work on the arrangement first. I'll go ask Uncle Song if the recording equipment has been coordinated."

Jiang Weimin then came to Song Wenqing's office.

"President, Mr. Shan and I have finalized the idea for the adaptation. Have you coordinated the recording equipment?"

"We have coordinated everything. After the storytelling script is adapted, we will go to Qingdao Radio Station to record it. I have also asked the purchasing department to buy the tapes. If the storytelling can be sold this time, we will build a recording studio."

"The president is really thoughtful and has accomplished great things with little money."

"Haha, Xiao Jiang, I just love what you say. Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you last time that your royalty fee has been increased to 17 yuan per piece. Since you are here today, go to the finance department to collect your royalty fee."

Jiang Weimin roughly calculated that the royalties for this article would be 2000 yuan.

"Boss, my royalties are increasing too fast."

"You have published six works now, and each of them has a circulation of over one million. You are also Master Gu's disciple, so it is reasonable for your royalties to increase."

"Thank you, Uncle Song. By the way, Uncle Song, how is the printing of the traditional Chinese version and the English version going? The Spring Fair is about to start."

"The traditional Chinese version has been arranged, which is easy to do. We are looking for someone to translate the English version. There are not many people who can speak English now, but I have found a translator. It should be ready in time for the Spring Fair."

"Boss, I have a small suggestion."

"Xiao Jiang, tell me what suggestions you have!"

"When printing, each series is made into a set and put in the same box for display and sale. Instead of letting Hong Kong and foreign merchants buy them one by one, they are sold as a set at a time."

Song Wenqing's eyes lit up. "Xiao Jiang, you're really quick-witted. Do you have any other ideas?"

“The most famous foreign detective story is Sherlock Holmes. We write “Chinese Sherlock Holmes Detective Story Collection” on the box, so that our work is more recognizable.

As for my father’s name from the Anti-Japanese War, it remains unchanged. Many Hong Kong businessmen have patriotic sentiments, and such a name can also attract the attention of Hong Kong businessmen.”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll let Zhao Jian work with you. According to your idea, you two should make a first draft for me to see."

In the next few days, Jiang Weimin was so busy that he was dizzy. He not only had to communicate the plot with Shan Tianfang, but also had to confirm the format of the entire book with Zhao Jian.

Not long after, Shan Tianfang successfully adapted the "Police Dog Attack" spy series.

Jiang Weimin was extremely shocked by Shan Tianfang's adaptation. The plot was compact and full of unexpected twists and surprises. It also incorporated a lot of emotional knowledge, which was very beneficial.

The language expression is easy to understand, concise and clear, which is very impressive.

We have to admit that master-level figures do have extraordinary talents.

During this period, Zhao Jian was also busy. Based on Jiang Weimin's design ideas, he carefully designed and produced a very exquisite packaging box that could perfectly accommodate these comic strips.

When they put the comic strip into this box, the whole picture becomes particularly eye-catching.
