In the Little Red Horse Comics Studio, Zhang Tan is reviewing the latest draft of "Ponyo on the Cliff". The paper is colored, and it basically looks like it will be published in a comic magazine in the future.
Now I have only painted the first scene, so I asked Zhang Tan to come over and finalize the style.
Zhang Tan has explained before that the style of "Ponyo on the Cliff" has three key words, "bright", "concise" and "romantic". By grasping these three key factors, the comic style will basically not deviate from what he imagined.
.
Sure enough, the cartoon manuscript that Zhang Tan saw at this moment had soft lines and the image of Ponyo was so vivid and lively that it seemed as if she was about to jump out of the drawing paper.
The comics in front of me gradually overlapped with the memories in my mind, and this is it!
“Who is the main author this time?” Zhang Tan asked.
A girl standing next to Xin Xiaoguang took a step forward and said it was her.
Xin Xiaoguang: “This time it was written by Zhang Hongxue.”
Zhang Tan smiled and said: "The painting is very good, exactly as I thought. Just paint it in this style, I have no objection."
Zhang Hongxue breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face and an uplifted expression, "Okay, I will work hard, and thank you boss for giving me such an important comic."
Zhang Tan came back from the set in the evening. There was a night scene to be filmed today. He and the crew had dinner on the set and stayed for a while before returning.
It is still early, just after eight o'clock, the moon is hanging in the sky, and the cool breeze is blowing. It is already summer, but the weather is not hot yet, neither too cold nor too hot. It is a very comfortable weather.
Lao Li was sitting in the yard making tea day after day and watching the door. He was living a happy life.
Recently, when Zhang Tan is not busy with work in the evenings, he will sit with Lao Li for a while, drink tea and chat. Lao Li brags very well.
Lao Li is also used to it. He usually brings out two chairs. He sits on one and the other is empty in front of him. Whoever comes will sit on it. Xiaobai has sat on it, Liuliu has sat on it, Xi'er has sat on it, and there are many other children who are picking up and dropping off children.
Parents have sat through it, such as Tan Jiner.
This time, as soon as Zhang Tan entered the yard, he saw a man sitting on the empty chair in front of Lao Li. He was wearing a blue POLO shirt and had a strong build. When he got closer, he saw that it was Meng Guangxin, Cheng Cheng's father.
Meng Guangxin heard the footsteps and turned his head to see Zhang Tan coming. He quickly stood up and greeted Boss Zhang politely.
Zhang Tan smiled and said, "You came so early today?"
Meng Guangxin smiled, leaving only two small eyes, narrowed into a thin line, "I don't have anything else to do, so I just came over early to see how Cheng Cheng spends every night."
Zhang Tan was stunned, and then said yes, he wanted to pay more attention to the children.
This was the first time that he saw Meng Guangxin caring about how Cheng Cheng spent his evening. Of course, it couldn't be said that he didn't care before, but Zhang Tan had never seen him express it.
Zhang Tan never denied Meng Guangxin's love for Cheng Cheng, but many adults always love in their own way and rarely put themselves in someone else's shoes.
Just like Meng Guangxin, the way he loved Chengcheng in the past was to work hard, work overtime, get promoted and get a raise, and improve his life, but he didn't seem to care much about his daughter's situation in kindergarten and the little red horse. After she was sent to the academy, she was obsessed with it.
At work, I didn't come to pick him up until very late.
Zhang Tan didn’t know if they would have a chance to communicate, but he probably would.
Looking now, Meng Guangxin seems to have changed.
This is a good thing.
Zhang Tan took a look at the classroom. It was brightly lit, and from time to time the voices of children could be heard, including laughter, babbling voices, and loud shouts. It was very lively.
"You sit here for a while and chat with Lao Li. The tea he makes is very good. You can try it. I will go back first, put the things away, and then chat with you." Zhang Tan said.
Meng Guangxin: "You are busy with your business, don't worry about me."
Lao Li said: "The tea I brew is naturally good. Lao Meng has already praised it."
Meng Guangxin smiled honestly and said: "It's indeed good, but I don't know much about tea."
“You guys chat, I’ll go back first.”
Zhang Tan passed by the classroom and looked inside. He didn't see Xiaobai, but saw Cheng Cheng. Cheng Cheng was sitting with several children, telling stories.
Suddenly, a little voice sounded next to me: "hiahia~~~Boss Zhang is peeking at Xiaobai, so shy~~~"
Standing in the corner against the wall is Xi'er, with her fingers digging into her little face.
Zhang Tan: "I'm looking at Xiaobai, and I'm also looking at you, Xi'er."
Hearing this, Xi'er jumped over happily, like a deer running out of the forest.
“Why are you looking at Xi’er??”
“Xi’er is so cute.”
“hiahiahia~~~”
Xi'er took it seriously. She smiled happily and followed Zhang Tan's feet, acting like a little tail.
“Why didn’t you play with Liliu today?”
Zhang Tan asked curiously, and the little guy actually followed him all the way back home.
Xi'er usually likes to hang out with Liuliu, and also likes to play with Xiaobai and the others, but she spends more time with Liuliu.

When Xi'er heard about Liliu, her bright face immediately became troubled.
“I don’t know, Liuliu didn’t come today, what’s wrong with Liuliu? Boss Zhang, I miss her so much.”
Zhang Tan put down his bag, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and said to Xi'er who followed him to the bathroom door and held the edge of the door: "Didn't you ask Teacher Xiaoliu?"
Xi'er shook her head and didn't ask.
“Why don’t you ask?”
“I forgot, hiahiahia~~~I asked Xiaobai.”
“What did Xiaobai say?”
“Xiaobai said, Hanhan’er, I know it~~I’m not an old man.”
The little guy imitated Xiaobai's speech, his expressions were very lively, his eyebrows raised and his eyes raised, which conveyed Xiaobai's impatience to a certain extent.
“Hahaha~~Xiao Bai really said that?”
“hiahiahia, it’s true.”
“You did a great job in studying, and you are very talented in acting.”
“I’m awesome, am I proud? Did I say it? ╭(╯^╰)╮”
“No, no, you are not proud.”
Your eyes have seen the sky.
“Let’s go down and play. I’ll ask Teacher Xiaoliu for you.” Zhang Tan wiped his face with a dry towel, lowered his head and saw that Xi’er’s little face was dirty, and called her to stop.
“Why is your little face dirty? Did you fall?”
Xi'er nodded and said she hit a wall, hiahiahia~~
“I’ll wipe your face.”
Zhang Tan washed the towel again, wrung it out, squatted in front of Xi'er, and gently wiped her face.
The little guy’s face was dirty, but his big eyes were extremely pure. They were the cleanest and most innocent eyes Zhang Tan had ever seen.
“You look like a little tabby cat.”
“hiahiahiahia~~~” Xi’er laughed, her little face wiped by the towel was white and tender, and could be broken by a blow, she looked like a little princess again, “Eh??”
"What's wrong?"
“It seems that someone said this to Xi’er.”
Xi'er tilted her head and thought for a while, but in the end she couldn't remember anyone else saying that she was a little cat.
She stopped thinking about it. She jumped up and down and happily followed Zhang Tan downstairs and left.
Zhang Tan gave her a bottle of Little Bear. He couldn't let the child go back empty-handed. As soon as the little guy arrived in the classroom, he hurriedly ran to Xiaobai and asked Xiaobai to take a sip.
Teacher Xiaoliu happened to be passing by. Zhang Tan asked her why Liuliu didn’t come today. He was told that Liuliu had accumulated food again and was lying down at home.
