The Late School

"Really use it?"

"It has been decided, what do you think of opening a comics studio?"

"Very good, such a big garden, half empty, one is waste, and the other is deserted."

"You will have more work in the future."

"That's not an issue, leave it to me."

"I see, do you want to find a helper for you again?"

"No need, I'll do it alone."

"Uncle, let's find someone again, you are too hard by yourself. After the studio is opened, you will be on duty during the day, and then the children will come in the evening and can't be free."

Old Li was stunned, and Zhang Tan hadn't called his uncle for a long time.

When I was young, I often yelled it like this, and as I grew older, it slowly reached Yu Wu.

His heart was touched, and after a short pause, he took the lead and said: "Okay, just follow you."

Zhang Tan: "Have you recommended someone? It's best to be in our village, everyone knows the bottom line."

Old Li said he came to think about it and took note of it.

Zhang Tan took out the key and opened another three-story red brick building in Hexiaohongma Academy. A musty smell came out, and the choking flying dust was sucked into his nose. Zhang Tan sneezed twice.

He and Lao Li stepped back quickly and waited for nearly a minute before entering the house.

Old Li said: "It's been too long to use. This building will only be cleaned once a month. During this time, it rains often and the sun is rare, so the musty smell is so heavy."

The room was dark, Zhang Tan turned on the phone and found the light switch with the help of the flashlight.

Da~~

Da Da~~

I pressed the switch, but the bulb did not light up.

"The light seems to be broken," Zhang Tan said.

After trying a few times, I was sure that the bulb was not broken, but the wire was broken.

"Come back during the day, it's not easy now."

The two withdrew, Zhang Tan raised his head and looked at the building. The structure and style are exactly the same as the one already in use. If you don't use it again, it may become a haunted house.

The next day, Zhang Tan found a decoration company and spent three days refurbishing the interior. Of course, this was not enough, as well as decoration, and purchase of furniture.

Zhang Tan didn't have so much time to manipulate these, but Xin Xiaoguang took the initiative to take over these tasks.He took the other two cartoonists, and after busying himself, it took another three days to finally organize the building.

Zhang Luo is ready for the office, and the studio Zhang Tan is also registered. Its name is Little Red Horse Comics Studio. The logo is the same as the logo of Midnight School, a little red horse running.

"This place is really a good place. It's next to West Chang'an Avenue, hidden in the city."

"I never thought that there would be such a place on West Chang'an Street. How could there be such a good place in this lot? Don't developers rush to collect it?"

...

On this day, all the staff of the studio were in place, and many people came in for the first time and looked around curiously.

"Late Night Academy? Is the Late Night Academy next to it? What is it for?"

"There is also a kindergarten?"

Zhang Tan clapped his hands and said, "Be quiet, everyone, let me introduce you first. We are here, next to West Chang'an Street. The CBD and bars are nearby. It is very convenient, but everyone has seen it. This is a late night school. ."

"What is a late-night school? It is a school that is only open at night, not a kindergarten. It is prepared for families who have to go to work at night and no one takes care of the children at home. Basically, the children will come after you get off work. Staggered."

"But whether it's staggered or not, I have three chapters..."

The three chapters of the covenant, in short, should not disturb the children here.

There are a total of 8 people in the studio, and a small meeting was held on the first day of work to confirm the recent work.

Currently, the most important thing is to launch "Dream Quest".

Because the number of people was not high, it was the first time, so everyone worked together to create this comic. After getting acquainted with each other, Zhang Tan also had an understanding of everyone’s abilities, and then we could see if we could start more at the same time. Items.

Zhang Tan doesn't stare here every day, so the daily operation of the studio is entrusted to Xin Xiaoguang.

Zhang Tan knows that the studio is still very imperfect, and there is still a lot to do, but the most urgent thing is to get the studio up and running and perfect as it is done.

Only by doing it can we know where there is a problem and how to correct it.

"Boss, we have some thoughts on "Looking for a Dream"." Xin Xiaoguang found Zhang Tan.

"Okay."

Zhang Tan called everyone together and talked about his thoughts on this "pioneering work".

Everyone is talking, everyone has a lot of ideas.

At the beginning, Zhang Tan attracted everyone to join with the script of this comic, so everyone has been studying this work for a long time, and ideas will overflow.

"I think the worldview in the story should be based on Chinese civilization, and tell stories while promoting Chinese culture, so that everyone can have a sense of substitution."

The speaker was a beautiful female cartoonist named Wu Shiying.

There is no need for Zhang Tan to ask, someone asked what he wanted to ask: "Then you want to start with the July and Half Ghost Festival?"

Wu Shiying's eyes lit up and nodded: "Yes, July and a half, the Ghost Festival, the ghost gate is open, relatives, sacrifices, memories, remembrance, love... all the elements needed in the story can be found in this traditional festival. Very sensible."

She looked at Zhang Tan with scorching eyes, waiting for his expression.

Wu Shiying's resume immediately appeared in Zhang Tan's mind. She was a well-known cartoonist who had serialized two works and was in the stage of rising career.

Her style of painting is not only feminine and gentle, but also wild imagination, even in the second work, Zhang Tan saw some horror elements and styles.

Wu Shiying was willing to give up her rising personal career and join Zhang Tan’s studio, of course, not because he is handsome, but because the comics Zhang Tan wants to make are completely different from most of the comics on the market. The kind of comics she wanted to draw but had no inspiration.

"Looking for a Dream" is very different from the popular comics currently on the market. Not only is the style different, but the story is also different.

The difference between them is just like "Ghost Blowing Lantern" and "Fights".

The comics on the market are similar to popular web articles, and they pursue the ultimate refreshing point, quick slaps and reversals.

Their selling point is cool.

However, "Dream Travels" does not pretend to be a face-slapped plot, which completely does not meet the plot needs of Shuang.

In Wu Shiying's view, emotional catharsis is the essence of a comic story, and it is what the author should pursue, including happy, sad, love, hatred, letting go... and other emotional changes.

It would be too narrow to just pick up a "shuang".

The core selling point of "Dream Travels" is the catharsis of emotions. Its theme is not "cool", but love, memory and cherish.

This was what moved Wu Shiying the most, and it was also the biggest motivation for her to decide to work with Zhang Tan.

Now, she is concerned about another question, can Zhang Tan listen to her suggestions.

In her gaze, Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Your proposal is good. I agree in principle, but you need to elaborate on your thoughts, because you also know that if the background world changes, many other content will also need to be changed. ."

Wu Shiying smiled happily: "Okay, then I will take up ten minutes to talk about my ideas."

Zhang Tan doesn't reject everyone's ideas. In fact, he has been thinking about how to make "Dream Traveling Around" fit the world better. This requires everyone to brainstorm.
