The Late School

"Ms. Luo is a newcomer?"

In the studio, when people saw Zhang Tan's new face, they asked Luo Ming on the side.

"This is Zhang Tan, a very talented young man, now my assistant to the screenwriter, please take care of him in the future."

Luo Mingfeng introduced this way, and Zhang Tan would also stop, smile and nod to the other party, some would leave after responding, and some would stop and chat with him.

The two passed through the office area on the ninth floor and entered the office.

Luo Ming is not a leader, but he is a senior screenwriter. Once each screenwriter is with the team, he will be assigned an office as the office of the screenwriting team.

Luo Ming has a strong business ability and has done many projects. Every time he needs to arrange for him temporarily, he was simply fixed in this one.

"You will work here in the future, and now it's the two of us." Luo Ming said.

The computer and the desk are ready, and the room is more than 20 square meters. From now on, Luo Ming and Zhang Tan.

"Thank you." Zhang Tan said.

Luo Ming waved his hand and sat down, motioning Zhang Tan to sit too.

"Let’s talk about the script first. Now you are also a member of the crew. What do you say? The most important thing in co-writing scripts is that the team should open up and have a say."

The story of "Under Tianyu Mountain" is based on the ancient Chinese mythology period. It is in a feudal dynasty fictionalized by the author. There are many countries, including big countries such as Wei, Zhou, and Chu, as well as small countries such as Chen and Zhongshan. When he was 10 years old, he encountered a palace coup, the general usurped power and seized the country.Tianyu Mountain is the ancestor of civilization in this world. Chinese culture was brewed. Many fairy and monster legends were spread from there. In order to become stronger and rejuvenate the country, the protagonist decided to look for Tianyu Mountain, and thus began to wander while becoming stronger. Experience.

Last night Zhang Tan carefully pondered the outline of the script, and he did have new feelings.

"Then, I'll just say three points?" Zhang Tan said.

Luo Ming stretched out his hand and motioned for him to speak.

The two chatted all morning, and in the afternoon Luo Ming began to modify the script again, while Zhang sighed handwriting the pet settings.

Taking into account the protagonist's tragic identity and dull personality, Zhang Tan first determined that the pet setting must be more amusing, like Jiang Rong's, so that the story can be more vivid and interesting.

Secondly, the character must complement the protagonist. If the protagonist’s character is A-side, then the pet’s character should be B-side, one with two sides.

For example, when encountering a strong enemy, the protagonist knows that he is lost, but has to face it. This is the A side.

And his pet is afraid of death, and is more embarrassed, and wants to escape. This is the B side.

Side B is actually the protagonist's side, his potential side.

When encountering a strong enemy, he also wants to run away, but also is afraid. These emotions are not without, and human emotions are normal.

But he is the protagonist. Readers like to see the protagonist being heroic and powerful, upright and courageous. It is impossible for him to run away from a powerful enemy, so let the pet do this. This is also a hint to the reader, which makes the protagonist more flesh and blood in a very subtle way.

Zhang Tan pondered for a long time, combined with the plot and background, finally determined the pet's setting, and drew a sketch, and gave it to Luo Ming.

"Zou Wu?" Luo Ming was quite surprised.

On the drawing paper Zhang Tan handed him, he sketched a very strange animal. It was as big as an elephant, with the body of a tiger, sharp claws, and four curved and exposed fangs, which shone when stretched out. The mane is shaped like a lotus leaf, and there is a tail like a peacock tail. The tail is simply colored with colored pens.

This is a very unpopular kind of strange beast, which comes from Shan Hai Jing.

Zhang Tan said: "Zou Wu has a brightly colored tail, wherever he goes, it is extremely destructive."

According to the setting, Wu Wu looks like a beast, but in fact he is very courageous, often guilty, greedy and lazy, and arrogant.When the protagonist picks up the funny cat stick, this fierce-looking beast will switch to the "big-eyed cute boy" mode in a second, staring at the small wooden stick, swinging the giant long tail happily, showing a "contrast cuteness" ".

"Interesting." Luo Ming said with a smile after seeing Wu Wu's settings.

Zhang Tan said: "Zhou Wu is a monster of mountains and seas. It is huge and looks like a tiger. It has amazing destructive power. It conforms to the background of the story. It can also shelter the protagonist. But it also looks like a wild cat. Its colorful tail is very pleasing. Tsundere, greedy, modern people like to raise cats, and have a natural sense of identity with Zuwu..."

"Moreover, it is complicated and hidden, and can be a clue."

Zhang Tan pointed to Wuwu's tail that resembled a peacock tail, and said: "Its tail is colorful and powerful, and it can brush off enemy weapons. This is because it has the blood of the Peacock King. Although it is thin, it has a mysterious and powerful source... …"

Zhang Tan explained the considerations in choosing Zuwu.

Luo Ming nodded and said: "Very good, at least I seem to like it at first glance, attractive to me, and the setting seems to be okay, so I will go back to think about it at night and make sure after work tomorrow."

"Ok."

That's the end of this day's work.

After get off work, Zhang Tan was about to go home, Jiang Rong and He Chao were standing downstairs.

Seeing him come out, Jiang Rong waved enthusiastically.

"Why? Wait for me?" Zhang Tan asked.

Jiang Rong looked at him up and down, punched him and said, "Okay, Zhang sigh, and leave without saying a word, don't say hello, don't you treat people as friends?"

Zhang Tan: "I haven't walked far. You are on the 8th floor and I am on the 9th floor. I walked through the door after two steps."

Jiang Rong said: "This is different. You have taken a crucial step, which is equivalent to a high promotion. Is it a simple two-step problem?"

He Chao said enviously: "Zhang Tan, congratulations."

He and Zhang Tan joined the company at the same time. In less than half a month, Zhang Tan has jumped out of the script evaluation team, which is equivalent to past the "internship period" and is on the right track to participate in big projects. He is still a newcomer, script evaluation The one with the least seniority in the group, the deputy group leader talked to him last week and encouraged him to work harder. The implication is that his current ability is not enough to gain a foothold.

Thinking of this, He Chao was inevitably angry and discouraged while congratulating Zhang Tan.

Zhang Tan: "Thank you, sooner or later."

Jiang Rong: "Go, I would like to invite you to dinner, congratulations, and listen to you talk about the work of a screenwriter assistant by the way."

The three of them had dinner together, and Jiang Rong suggested to sing KTV. This girl is very good at playing. Looking at her usual dress and habits, the conditions at home should be good. She is a local girl from Pujiang.

He Chao couldn't go, he answered his girlfriend's phone and hurried back.

Zhang Tan and Jiang Rong were left. Zhang Tan said, "Too few people sing and there is no atmosphere. How about another day? Call a few more friends then."

Jiang Rong: "It's not easy to call people. I can call a group with one phone call."

However, Zhang Tan would appear embarrassed in that case. They are all her friends. Zhang Tan doesn't know one. Jiang Rong obviously thought of this and said intimately: "That's OK, another day."

Taking a taxi under West Chang'an Avenue, Zhang Tan walked to the door of Xiaohongma Academy and greeted Lao Li, the guard, the school was brightly lit, and the children's immature voices floated in the night.

When I went upstairs, I heard Xiaobai’s particularly special and penetrating Trump. She seemed to be arguing with others again. Among the many Trumps, there was a saying about melon baby. Zhang Tan checked the Internet yesterday. This is a curse. of.

Zhang Tan returned home. The door was not closed yet, Xiao Bai's voice came from the door.

"Uncle, are you just going home?"

Is this kid a puppy?I was discovered as soon as I came back.

Zhang Tan smiled and said, "Yeah, didn't you play with the kids?"

I just heard you arguing.

Wearing the familiar set of blue Dazhonghua, Xiaobai children's shoes lay on the edge of the door and looked at him curiously.

She seems to have only two sets of clothes, one red and one blue, in turns.

"Are you going to play football with me?"

"Forget it, it's getting dark, and I will fall."

If the Chinese Men's Football team has your enthusiasm, you will not be able to break out of Asia.

"Paws?" Xiaobai asked, lying on the edge of the door.

"It's dark and you can't see the road clearly, it's easy to fall, and it hurts."

"There is a lamp, acridine, if you fall, get up, oh, you will cry acridine."

This little guy can even taunt!

Zhang Tan can only use his old excuses again.

"I didn't eat."

"You haven't eaten your paws?"

"Isn't this just after get off work? Come in and sit down, you haven't finished the grapes you like."

Zhang Tan sent out an invitation.

Xiaobai asked guardingly: "Did you drink?"

"1+1=2."

Xiaobai was relieved immediately: "Then I will come in."

"come in."

He saw Xiaobai take off her small shoes and revealed a pair of ripped socks. She was embarrassed last time, but this time she was not embarrassed. He also said that she was a little devil.

This analogy sounds weird.

Zhang Tan found the backpack for work, took out a pair of slippers from it, put it in front of Xiaobai, and said, "I have prepared a pair of shoes for you, don't need to be barefoot."

Xiaobai looked down at the little shoes that came to her. There were little bears on them. They looked very cute. She asked in surprise, "Paws? What for Xiaobai?"

Zhang Tan nodded: "Yes, it's for you."

"Hey~~It's the new Si!"

I just bought it on the way from get off work, of course it's new.

Xiaobai picked up the slippers and looked at it with joy. Suddenly, his face changed, and he stared at Zhang Tan seriously and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to do?"

"Huh?" Zhang Tan was puzzled.

"You buy shoes for Xiaobai, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Tan can't laugh or cry, do you think I am planning to buy you off with a pair of small slippers?You are too cheap.

"I didn't want to do anything, it's because you came to my house last time, and I didn't have any shoes for you, so I bought a pair on my way home from get off work today."

"Oh." Xiaobai looked at the slippers, really like it, but...

"I don't want yours."

"I know I know, don't be okay."

"That's back to you."

"For you, you come to my house as a guest. Of course, I have to prepare small shoes for you to wear. It is impolite to not let the guests walk in the house barefoot."

Xiaobai murmured, "I don't know what you said."

Zhang Tan couldn't laugh or cry: "You don't need to know, just put it on."

Xiao Bai still didn't wear it, not because she didn't wear it, but she didn't want to wear it.

She took the little slippers in her hand and walked around the house wearing a pair of torn socks. Suddenly remembering something, she ran to the door, picked up a glass bottle placed against the wall just now, and sent it to Zhang Tan, and said proudly "Look, uncle! Xiaobai caught a Tintin cat, but none of the other melons were caught, so Xiaobai caught it. Is Xiao Bai terrible?"

"Ting Ding Cat?"

Tinkerbell?Zhang Tan asked suspiciously. As a result, he saw that there was a dragonfly in the glass bottle. Is this a Tintin cat?

"Dragonfly, amazing, how did you catch it?"

"I caught it with my little hand. This is my strength."

She was sitting on a small stool, holding a glass bottle in one hand, digging and digging in her trouser pocket with the other, taking out a candy, handing it to Zhang Tan, and asking him to eat it.

This kid is very polite. He didn't come to the door empty-handed several times. It used to be a handful of boiled peanuts, but now it's a candy. It's a good idea.
