Chapter 986 Ant House, Emperorless Blade Tan (2/2)
Chapter 986 Ant House, Emperorless Blade Tan (22)
PS: The chapter I owe this month is paid off.
Zhang Tan approached Xiaobai and Xi'er and saw them eating ants. They were squatting on the ground with focused expressions and were unaware of his approach. He originally wanted to call them back, but he heard that they were having a heated discussion and their words were childish and cute.
, innocent and can't bear to interrupt, can't help but stop and listen.
"Wow! There are ants!" Xi'er said in surprise, carefully observing the movement of the ants. They crawled on the edge of the flower bed and lined up in a long line, all the way to the edge of the flower bed and under the flowers in the flower bed.
"There are a lot of ants here." Xiaobai picked up a small stick and gently opened the flowers. He saw more ants surrounding a rotten fruit. "I know, these must be worker ants.
They are small in stature, climb up very quickly, and are busy carrying fruits and steamed buns home."
"Move home!" Xi'er said, "Xiaobai, how do you know?"
"This is my strong point." Xiaobai boasted, and then added, "That's what the picture book says."
"That's what the picture book says." Xi'er agreed, and suggested, "Xiao Bai, I have a good idea. Let's build a home for the ants together."
So they used small wooden sticks to clean the place where the ants gathered, and picked up rotten leaves and pebbles, hoping that many ants could live here.
In order to attract more ants, they placed the buns in their hands in the "Ant House".
"No." Xiaobai thought for a while and said, pointing to the edge of the flower bed, "It's too steep here. The ants will fall when they come down!"
"What can we do?" Xi'er said with a Sichuan flavor.
"We are going to add a staircase here!" Xiaobai put the wooden stick in his hand on the edge of the flower bed, found a leaf, and placed it on the lower end of the stick so that the ants could follow the stick when coming down from the edge of the flower bed.
"We have stairs." Xi'er said happily, and suddenly said, "Xiaobai Xiaobai, what if the ants fall down the stairs? It's too dangerous."
Xiaobai quickly thought of a new way, "Let's find another wooden stick and set it up so that the stairs will be very wide and the ants will not fall down. Look!"
After a while, ants really crawled over dragging the bun crumbs from the sticks and gathered where the fruit was.
"The ants didn't fall!" Xi'er said happily, "Xiaobai, the ants didn't fall!"
"Okay, let's go find some leaves and hide this ant home so that it won't be discovered by other small animals and it will be dangerous."
They surrounded the ant home with leaves, and finally built a "door" with wooden sticks.
The ants' house was built and well hidden. They could finally feel relieved. However, they had trouble again and decided to find some more fruits for the ants to eat. They seemed to like eating fruits very much.
"Xi'er, you go to Li Baibao and ask for the fruit. I'll protect this place." Xiaobai quickly divided the work. Xi'er got up and ran to Lao Li to ask for the fruit. Suddenly she turned around and saw Zhang Tan, and was stunned, hiahia
Laughing, "Godfather! Look, we found the Ant House."
Zhang Tan took them to find fruits.
In the studio, Xu Qizhe waited for a while and saw that Zhang Tan never showed up. When he came to the balcony to take a look, he saw him squatting by the flower bed on the roadside with Xiaobai and Xi'er. He didn't know what he was doing.
Xin Xiaoguang came over and said that Zhang Tan was building an ant house for Xiaobai and Xi'er, and he would have to wait a while before he could come.
Xu Qizhe was speechless for a while, but then he seemed to understand. Those artists in history maintained strong innocence and curiosity until they were old. Perhaps Boss Zhang fell into this category, otherwise he would not have opened such a late-night academy.
Zhang Tan has been helping Xiaobai and Xi'er take care of the Ant House before returning. Xiaobai and Xi'er came with him. The two little ones were taken away by Yang Xiaoxue, eating snacks and reading picture books, while staring at Xin Xiaoguang
Don't be lazy at work.
There were only Zhang Tan and Xu Qizhe in the conference room, and they were chatting about new projects. Zhang Tan was mainly listening to Xu Qizhe's ideas.
He had a lot of ideas, but they were all immature. If Zhang Tan hadn't asked him to talk about them and said it didn't matter, he would have been embarrassed to pour them out.
Zhang Tan listened patiently, interjecting from time to time to discuss. He noticed that Xu Qizhe had wavered in his style, which may have been affected by the results of "Insect Master".
"Where is your persistence?" Zhang Tan suddenly asked.
"What?" Xu Qizhe was stunned when he was asked, and didn't seem to understand.
Zhang Tan asked again: "What about your persistence? Isn't your style a hardcore violent aesthetic? Why do you want to change your style? The style of "Insect Master" is the style of "Insect Master", not yours. You
Why should you change yourself and follow others?"
Xu Qizhe seemed to have been hit hard and was speechless. He didn't know what to say. He thought about Zhang Tan's words carefully, and it seemed that Zhang Tan was right! He unknowingly wavered in his persistence because he was too
Do you value grades? Or are you jealous of Liu Xiangsheng?
"You're right. I unknowingly wavered in my persistence. Thank you for your vigilance." Xu Qizhe said.
Zhang Tan continued: "In the comics industry, when it comes to the aesthetics of violence, if you say you are second, no one dares to say you are first! We should continue to dig deeper. As for the results, maybe it will be very good, maybe it will be average, but who knows,
No matter what results you achieve, you are taking a road that no one has walked before. I support you very much and the studio will fully support you."
After hearing this, Xu Qizhe was moved and nodded firmly.
The two then continued to chat about new ideas for comics. Zhang Tan guided him and talked about many of his own ideas. Xu Qizhe was greatly inspired. Two days later, he wrote a script and handed it to Zhang Tan.
After Zhang Tan finished reading, he thought of an anime he had watched in his previous life, called "The Story of Foreigners Without the Emperor's Blade". The stories were almost the same, but there were differences in the concept.
"Outlander" is a major animated film with great reputation. It was once nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
The background of Xu Qizhe's story is set in the Tang Dynasty, when all nations came to the dynasty, and various races gathered in China, giving birth to a splendid and colorful culture. A monk from the Tang Dynasty traveled to Japan to preach scriptures and brought an orphan from Japan to Japan.
The Tang Empire. The orphan was burdened with an astonishing secret. After being separated from the monk, he went to the Da'an Temple in Chang'an with his pet dog. On the way, he met the mysterious swordsman "Wu Ming", who was actually a Japanese ronin. Orphan
Being hunted, Wuming saved his life in a critical moment, and the two walked together from then on. Although the eccentric Ronin and the closed-hearted young man bumped into each other constantly, they gradually became good friends.
The government's underground organization sent a pursuit team, led by the team leader Bai Luan, to capture the orphan and start preparing for a certain ceremony. The life-and-death showdown between Bai Luan and Wuming began...
After Zhang Tan read this story, he suggested: "The character Bai Luan is a bit single compared to Wu Ming. Can we set it up like this? For example, Bai Luan is actually a top master who just hides his strength in order to hide in the world.
In the underground organization, we monitor whether there is any rebellion in the organization, and its real purpose is to obtain the elixir of life for the emperor!"
"The orphan's life experience is strange. He can use his blood to refine medicine to obtain the elixir of immortality. At the last moment, Bai Luan faced the temptation of the elixir of life. He wavered and wanted to take it for himself! He betrayed the emperor and obeyed his orders.
!”
Xu Qizhe nodded and said yes.
But Zhang Tan was not done yet, and continued: "You set the background of this story in the Tang Dynasty, but it did not fully show the multiculturalism of the Tang Dynasty. My suggestion is to add another character. For example, this character is called Luo Lang.
, he has blond hair and blue eyes. He came to the Tang Empire with his Persian parents since he was a child. He was originally a member of the pursuit team and was extremely skilled in martial arts. He obeyed orders on the surface but did not really care about the purpose of the team. For him, looking for someone who could be with him
A rival is the meaning of life. His encounter with Wuming was a fateful showdown."
Xu Qizhe asked: "A duel between three people?"
Zhang Tan: "Yes! The three of them did not wield the blade for any lord. Bai Luan did it for himself, Luo Lang did it for himself, and Wuming did it for the orphans, or in other words, to atone for himself."
In "The Story of the Foreigner Without an Emperor", this is the meaning of "无皇". The Foreigner refers to the identities of several protagonists. They are all foreigners, and their fateful wandering brings them together.
Zhang Tan added: "In this comic, we will not follow the crowd, but focus on action movies and give full play to your violent aesthetics. You don't need to think about what your results will be. This is not what you think about, but what I should think about. Your whole body
Just draw the style we want, what do you think?"
Xu Qizhe had the feeling of a scholar dying for his confidant, so he nodded firmly and said: "Okay!"
Zhang Tan added: "Do you know any famous martial arts instructors?"
Xu Qizhe was stunned for a moment and said he didn't recognize him, "Why are you looking for this?"
Zhang Tan: "Of course I'm training you. You can't just make up martial arts moves. If you don't know him, I'll find one for you. The story is written. You can learn it for ten days and a half with this martial arts instructor."
, it’s okay to ask him to join the production team if necessary.”
Xu Qizhe: "..."
Are you serious? He has been in the industry for many years, and he has only heard of film and television works using martial arts instructors, but he has never heard of comics also using martial arts instructors.
However, isn't this exactly what he wants! This kind of support and this creative atmosphere make him tremble all over and he can't wait!!
