"This is the story of a little goldfish." Zhang Tan said, holding the manuscript paper and sitting in front of the children.
Xiaobai's eyes lit up.
Liuliuzizizi was preoccupied with drinking the bear drink,
Zhang Tan ignored this guy, Ji Shi didn't come to her for no reason.
He continued: "The name is "Ponyo the Goldfish on the Cliff."
Xi'er muttered a very unpleasant name, but what was she talking about?
Zhang Tan: "..."
He pretended not to have heard and told the story in one breath, observing the children's reactions so that he could make corrections.
Judging from the reaction, it was generally good, except that Liuliu and her friends were not in the same world. After finishing the drink, the little bear started to eat the fruit snacks on the coffee table.
That's not bad, Zhang Tan said to himself, feeling relieved.
"You guys can play here. If you want to watch TV, turn it on yourself." Zhang Tan said.
Xi'er held the remote control curiously, pressing here and squeezing there, but couldn't turn on the TV.
Zhang Tan was sitting on the sofa, nestled in the corner, with a brush and manuscript paper on his knees, observing the children and drawing their portraits. The prototype of Ponyo came from a few of them.
Liuliu was sitting next to him, swinging back and forth. Zhang Tan couldn't help but said: "Liuliu, if you want to eat, why don't you sit on the coffee table and eat it? Do you have to walk back and forth on the coffee table and sofa?"
Liuliu thought about it, why didn't she think of it? She gave Boss Zhang a thumbs up, "6666~~"
She didn't sit down, but stood at the coffee table and ate faster.
Ponniu is a chubby little girl, Zhang Tan doesn't want to change this, chubby children are cuter.
However, Xiaobai is not fat, Xi'er is not fat, Cheng Cheng and Xiaomi are not fat, only Liuliu is fat.
There was no other way, so Zhang Tan had to add the durian into the body shape. The fleshy one was a bit cute.
When they were about to go back to sleep, Zhang Tan finally drew Ponyo and showed it to them.
Xiaobai liked it very much, so Zhang Tan gave it to her.
He drew another one, and this time he was even more comfortable.
He drew Ponyo, then Zongsuke, and he had both male and female protagonists. The drawings and story drafts were put together in a folder and brought to Xin Xiaoguang tomorrow.
"Are you asleep?"
After taking a shower and just lying on the bed, my phone vibrated with a message. It was from Su Lan.
Su Lan had no filming this afternoon. She was attending a brand event in Pujiang. The event had just ended. She returned to the hotel and had just taken a shower and was lying on the bed.
"No, I'm waiting for your message."
"Liar."
"I won't worry until your activity is over."
Although she said she didn't believe Zhang Tan's words, Su Lan still enjoyed chatting with him.
It was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, and the crew would be filming tomorrow. Su Lan's role was very heavy, so Zhang Tan told her to go to bed early.
"Go to sleep." Su Lan replied to the message.
Zhang Tan immediately knew that he must not sleep, as his sweetheart obviously didn't want to sleep.
Although he was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, he knew that he couldn't do it at this time. At this time, he had to use his porridge spirit and eat while sleeping while standing.
He didn't reply to the message. Su Lan on the other end thought that Zhang Tan had really fallen asleep. She puffed up her cheeks, put down her phone, turned over and lay on her back, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Ding~~~~
Suddenly the mobile phone on the bedside table rang. It was usually Zhou Li at this time. She knew that Su Lan had many things to do during the day, so she discussed many things with Su Lan at night.
When she picked up her phone and took a look, Su Lan's face showed joy. It was not Zhou Li, but Zhang Daidi.
She quickly calmed down her mood, making it difficult for anyone to hear her emotions or anger: "Hey~~ aren't you asleep?"
"I'm not sleepy. How was today's activity? Did it go well?"
Su Lan: "Okay, it went very smoothly."
When Zhang Tan heard this, she realized that this topic was not what she wanted to talk about, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "I have been writing a comic story these days and I just finished it today. Do you want to listen to it? Give me a check and give me some suggestions.
."
Su Lan was really interested, "What story? I don't understand it very well, so I don't dare to raise any opinions."
"It's okay. You listen first. You can say whatever you think. Let me tell you, you are the sixth listener."
"Ah? I'm curious, who are the first five?"
"Xiaobai, Xier, Liuliu, Chengcheng and Xiaomi."
Su Lan laughed heartily, and the image of Zhang Tan telling a story to a group of little carrots appeared in her mind. It was loving but funny.
…
Little Red Horse Comics Studio.
"Xiaoshu, have you printed everything?"
"It'll be ready soon, 5 servings in total."
"Hurry up, the meeting is about to begin."
"Brother Su, I won't delay."
They brought their printed and bound creative manuscripts to the conference room and placed them in front of a few empty seats.
These are several story ideas that Lao Su has brainstormed over the past few days.
Because time was limited, we only had ideas and story outlines, but could not perfect the story structure and plot. That is the next step. Only when the studio is sure that it will be used, will it continue to the next step, so as not to do twice the result with half the effort.
Lao Su is quite confident in these ideas. There are three story ideas in total. If not all three, at least one will be fine.
After a while, Zhang Tan arrived, and other colleagues attending the meeting also came in and took their seats.
Lao Su noticed at a glance that the manuscript paper Xin Xiaoguang was holding might also be a story idea, but he thought it was impossible because it was too thick, and the story idea was two pages high.
"Is this an idea?" Zhang Tan picked up the manuscript paper in front of him, "Thank you for your hard work, Old Su. Why don't you talk first while we look at it."
Lao Su: "Okay, I have prepared three story ideas this time, two are action martial arts and one is daily. I will tell this daily story first..."
Zhang Tan quickly read the manuscript, put it in his hand, and listened carefully to Lao Su's explanation of their original creative intentions and core selling points.
The three stories were all good, but Zhang Tan did not express his opinions first, but asked other people in the conference room to express their opinions.
Some people approved it, and some people raised questions. Generally speaking, there was a 70-30 split between those who approved and those who almost didn’t.
Lao Su's face was serious. He thought he could get unanimous approval.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit serious, Xin Xiaoguang said: "I have another creative idea here. Someone submitted it. You can also take a look."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone looked at the manuscript paper in his hand. Lao Su had already noticed it and asked: "Is it a complete story?"
Xin Xiaoguang pushed it in front of him: "Yes, the complete story, then Lao Su, you can read it first, and I will tell it to everyone at the same time. This story is about a little goldfish girl..."
Lao Su browsed quickly, frowning and relaxing for a while, and finally spent ten minutes reading it and let out a sigh of relief.
Xin Xiaoguang asked: "How is it?"
Lao Su put down the manuscript paper and the people around him immediately took it.
"It's a very strange feeling, like it's about love, but it's not like what kind of love a 5-year-old child has. It's more like it's about childhood, when fantasy has no boundaries. This is a good story, at least I like it very much.
."
It was impossible for everyone to watch it at the meeting because there was not enough time, but everyone listened to Xin Xiaoguang’s oral introduction, and a more complete storyline could be circulated after the meeting.
Finally, Xin Xiaoguang said: "There are 4 stories now, let's vote for them."
Lao Su's face straightened and he asked, "Would you like to choose one?"
Xin Xiaoguang looked at Zhang Tan, who said: "There is no limit on the number, just choose according to the standards that can be published in magazines. If you think all four stories are up to standard, then choose four."
Everyone discussed quietly for a while and started voting one by one. "Ponyo on the Cliff" was approved, and at the same time, the other daily story also agreed to move forward.
"Then let's adjourn the meeting." Zhang Tan said, got up and left, walked around upstairs and downstairs, and then left to go to the set.
As soon as he left, Lao Su immediately found Xin Xiaoguang and asked where the story "Ponyo on the Cliff" came from and who the author was.
Xin Xiaoguang smiled and said nothing, but Lao Su wrapped her around tightly, and finally took him to a corner and whispered: "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."
"What? The author is still keeping it secret? Is he a competitor we poached?"
"No, it's a story written by the boss."
"Oh, the boss dug it up? Huh??? You said it was the boss who wrote it?"
"That's right, the boss wrote the story, so you know why the boss doesn't want to tell it."
"...I understand. This story is quite good. It can be seen that he put a lot of thought into it."
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Do you know how long it took the boss to write this story?"
"how long?"
"It started almost at the same time as you. Strictly speaking, it's one day later than you."
"???You mean it only took a week?"
"uh-huh."
"This is impossible~~"
In one week, he led a small team and came up with three ideas, and "Ponyo on the Cliff" was already a complete comic story and could almost be drawn. This was too fast.
