Era: Beginning from the Modu Translation Studio

Chapter 12: Garrison's Expendables

In the end, the chubby editor-in-chief Pan insisted on sending Jiang Shan to the gate of the publishing house.

"Xiao Jiang," he held Jiang Shan's hand and asked worriedly:

"It is said that your level definitely meets the standard of 5 yuan a piece, but you have also seen the regulations of the publishing house. Novices all start at 3 yuan."

Just now, editor-in-chief Pan has been fighting for the manuscript fee for Jiangshan, but he is helplessly suppressed by the regulations.

At this moment, he was very worried about losing a painter like Jiang Shan: "But brother, I can assure you that as long as this work is completed on time, the next book will definitely give you 5 yuan."

"Success, I'm sure I can rest assured with your words."

Jiang Shan wasn't worried about the manuscript fee at all.

Beginning in 1978, the circulation of comic books will increase all the way, and the manuscript fee will also rise accordingly. The difficulty is the extremely long creative cycle.

But Jiang Shan is not worried about his hand speed at all, "poor" will force him to run all the way.

After thinking about the country all the way, as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Li Ruocheng waving to him through the window.

Jiang Shan approached cheerfully: "Uncle Li, Editor-in-Chief Pan asked me to say hello to you!"

"So, your business is over?"

"It must be done!" Jiang Shan stretched out three fingers: "Three yuan per page."

"How many sheets per book?"

Jiang Shan took out the paging script of "Three Dozens of Bone Demons": "This is a single book, 36 pages, and 72 paintings."

"Little book?"

Li Ruocheng was a little surprised, he always thought it was an illustration: "They asked you to draw a comic book as soon as they came up? Pan Hua really dares!"

"You look down on people again, don't you?" Jiang Shan waved his hand, "Didn't you see how I am killing people in the editorial department today?"

"Before I got a penny, I started to get excited," Li Ruocheng reminded: "Come in and help me proofread the manuscript!"

"Me?... I proofread for you? I don't have that strength!"

On the day Jiang Shan told the story to the children, Li Ruocheng had this thought: "Didn't you tell me not to underestimate you, hurry up!"

It was said to be proofreading, but in Jiang Shan's eyes, it was impeccable. When the proofreading was over, Jiang Shan only felt that his English level had improved a lot.

Before going out, he deliberately turned around and confessed: "Uncle Li, call me when you are too busy in the future!"

"I'm afraid it's you who won't be too busy," Li Ruocheng waved his hand without raising his head, "Don't worry about it, I told you, I'll call you Uncle from now on."

"See you, Uncle Li!"

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, and Jiang Shan really didn't even have time to eat, so he rushed to the Pujiang Translation and Dubbing Studio after nibbling sesame seed cakes all the way.

In a trance, Jiang Shan seemed to have returned to the high-spirited moment when he first entered the workplace in his previous life.

It's good to be young, look at this long-legged man, step by step.

Just ten meters away from the dubbing studio, Jiang Shan saw Uncle Lu in the reception room waving to him.

"How about Uncle Lu?" Jiang Shan trotted a few steps: "Did you tell me this morning?"

"Sure," Uncle Lu smiled warmly, "Don't worry, no one saw me when I handed the bun to him."

Just this morning, Jiang Shan just got off work from the printing factory.

So I bought 12 big meat buns without stopping and sent them to the reception room of the translation studio.

Forcibly stuffed two meat buns behind the porter's Uncle Lu.

Please ask him to take a leave of absence from Team Leader Lu of the translation team for himself, and bring the buns to him by the way.

He didn't forget to promise Director Hu's breakfast.

After thanking Uncle Lu, Jiang Shan immediately joined the group, but saw Director Hu sitting in the recording studio of "Manhunt" in person.

"Leader," Jiang Shan said with a surprised face, "You didn't come to arrest me yourself, did you?"

Hu Xiao, who was wearing earphones, paid no attention to him, and was listening attentively to every word of the voice actor in the recording studio.

Only then did Jiang Shan realize that in today's "Manhunt" dubbing group, quite a few colleagues from other groups stood quietly.

Everyone stared intently at the plot on the TV.

Can't hide the surprise in each eye.

In 1978, the reason why the masses were so fascinated by dubbed films was mostly because dubbed films opened a window for Chinese people to see the world.

In the short 100-minute film length of "Hunt", everyone saw the unheard of modern life.

In the lens, the big city with neon lights is colorful, and cars, refrigerators, TVs, and washing machines can be seen everywhere.

There are even a lot of shots of riding horses and motorcycles.

From time to time, you can also see private jets, country houses, and fashionable clothes...

Jiang Shan looked at the colleagues around him who were accustomed to gray, blue and green three-color clothing, and it was indeed too shocking for them.

He knew that within a few years, these electronic watches, color TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, motorcycles... which can only appear in movies now will come like a flood.

Refrigerators, TVs, washing machines, and tape recorders will also become the "new four major items" to replace the original "old four major items" that turned three times and rang once.

Just as he was dazed, Director Hu came over and patted him: "Follow me to the office."

In fact, the retranslation work of Jiangshan has already been completed.

"Hunting" has entered the stage of voice actor interpretation.

At this time of each movie, Hu Xiao would come and listen to a part.

The two walked out of the recording studio one after the other.

Hu Xiao frowned and asked, "Listen to Lu Yi, what comic book artist are you interviewing at the publishing house today?"

"Yes," Jiang Shan said with a smile, "I really like drawing."

"Well," Hu Xiao glanced at him, "Although you are only a temporary translator for our factory, you can't be careless about your work."

"Don't worry, factory manager," Jiang Shan said earnestly on his face: "The artist doesn't have to work in the publishing house, he just takes the sketches home to create."

"Oh?" Hu Xiao asked curiously, "They hired you?"

"That is."

"I can't see that your kid is still a generalist."

"Please rest assured, the factory manager, I only put dubbed films first."

Jiang Shan said it was serious, but Hu Xiao looked at it inexplicably funny: "Okay, since it's the first, help me think of a word."

At this moment, the two of them had already walked into the translation team, and Lu Yi, who was sitting in his seat, was already waiting there.

"Yesterday Pujiang TV station sent a TV series from the United States," Hu Xiao said while gesturing to Lu Yi's projection machine: "They entrusted our factory to dub and dub."

"Oh?" Jiang Shan immediately became interested: "What TV series?"

At this time, the screen has jumped out of the TV.

Team Leader Lu said excitedly: "Garrison Expendables, you have never seen a TV series with this theme."

Director Hu on the side also nodded in agreement and said, "It's really interesting."

Jiang Shan didn't speak, and he had to say that he really hadn't watched this TV series.

This hot-blooded "Garrison Expendables" was originally scheduled to play in 1979 in the previous life.

Later, due to various reasons, it was delayed until 1980 before it was released.

There are a total of 26 episodes of the TV series, but after the 15th episode is played, a line of subtitles appears: The play is over.
