228. Brainstorming (3/3 for subscription)
"Are you really going to use it?"
"It's been decided to open a comic studio, what do you think?"
"It's good, such a big garden, half empty, one is wasteful, and the other is deserted. ”
"It's that you'll have more work in the future. ”
"That's not a thing, I'll leave it all to me. ”
"I see, do you want to find a helper again?"
"No, no, I'll do it alone. ”
"Uncle, let's find another person, it's too hard for you to be alone. After the studio opened, I had to be on duty during the day, and then the children came at night, and I couldn't be idle. ”
Lao Li was stunned, and sighed for a long, long time that he hadn't called his uncle.
When I was a child, I often shouted like this, and as I grew older, it slowly went to nothing.
His heart was touched, and after a pause, he took the lead and said, "Okay, just follow yours." ”
Zhang sighed: "Do you have any recommended people? It is best to be from our village, everyone knows the roots." ”
Lao Li said that he came to think about it and wrote it down.
Zhang Si took out the key, opened another three-story red brick building in the Little Red Horse School Park, a musty smell came to the nose, choking dust was sucked into the nose, Zhang Si sneezed twice.
He and Lao Li hurriedly took a few steps back and waited for nearly a minute before entering the house.
Lao Li said: "It's been useless for too long, this building will only be cleaned once a month, and it often rains during this time, and the sun is rare, so the musty smell is so strong." ”
The room was dark, Zhang Si turned on his mobile phone, and with the help of the flashlight function, he found the light source switch.
Da~~
Dada~~
I pressed the switch, but the bulb won't come on.
"The lights seem to be broken. Zhang sighed.
After a few tries, I determined that it was not the bulb that was broken, but the wires that were broken.
"Come back during the day, it's hard to get it now. ”
The two withdrew, and Zhang Si looked up at the building, the structure and style were exactly the same as the one already in use, and if they didn't need to get up, they might become a haunted house.
The next day, Zhang Si found a decoration company and spent three days whitewashing the inside, of course, this is not enough, there is also decoration, as well as the purchase of furniture and so on.
Zhang Si didn't have so much time to manipulate these, but fortunately, Xin Xiaoguang took the initiative to take over these jobs. He took two other cartoonists, and it took him another three days to finally put the building in order.
The office is good.,Studio Zhang Si was also registered.,The name is Little Red Horse Comic Studio.,The logo is the same as the logo of the late-night school park.,A galloping little red horse.。
"This place is really a good place, next to West Chang'an Avenue, which is hidden in the city. ”
"I never thought that there would be such a place on West Chang'an Street, how could such a good place be left in this area?
......
On this day, all the staff of the studio were in place, and many people came in for the first time, and they all looked around curiously.
"Late Night School Park?Next to the Late Night School Park?What are you doing?"
"And a kindergarten?"
Zhang Si clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, be quiet, I'll introduce to you first, we are here, next to West Chang'an Street, CBD and bars are nearby, which is very convenient, but everyone has also seen that this is a late-night school park." ”
"What is a late-night school garden? It's a school garden that's only open at night.,It's not a kindergarten.,It's for those families who have to go to work at night.,No one to take care of the children at home.。 Basically, the kids come after you get off work, and it's just staggered. ”
"But whether it's staggered or not, I'm about the third chapter of the law......"
The third chapter of the covenant, in short, is not to 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 determine the recent work.
At present, the most important thing is to launch "Dream Travel".
Because the number of people was originally small, and it was the first time, everyone worked together to create this comic first, and after getting familiar with each other, Zhang Si also got to know everyone's abilities, and then saw if it was possible to start multiple projects at the same time.
Zhang Si won't be staring here every day, so the daily operation of the studio is handed over to Xin Xiaoguang.
Zhang Si knows that the studio is still very imperfect, and there is still a lot to do, but the top priority is to get the studio up and running first, and improve it while doing it.
Only by doing it can we know where the problem is and how to fix it.
"Boss, we have some ideas for "Dream Travel". Xin Xiaoguang found Zhang Si.
"Okay. ”
Zhang Si called everyone together and talked about their thoughts on this "pioneering work".
Everyone is talking and everyone has a lot of ideas.
At the beginning, Zhang Si attracted everyone to join with the script of this comic, so everyone has been studying this work for a long time, and their ideas are about to overflow.
"I think that the worldview in the story should be based on Chinese civilization, and tell stories while promoting Chinese culture, so that everyone can have a better sense of substitution. ”
The one who spoke was a beautiful female cartoonist named Wu Shiying.
There was no need for Zhang Si to ask, someone asked what he wanted to ask: "Then you want to use the July Half Halloween Festival as the starting point?"
Wu Shiying's eyes lit up, and she nodded: "That's right, half of July, Halloween's Day, the ghost door is wide open, relatives, sacrifices, memories, nostalgia, love...... The elements needed in the story can be found in this traditional festival, which is very feeling. ”
She looked at Zhang Si with burning eyes, waiting for his statement.
Zhang Si's resume immediately appeared in his mind, she was a well-known cartoonist, who had serialized two works and was in the rising stage of her career.
Her painting style has both feminine delicacy and tenderness, as well as unbridled imagination, and even in the second work, Zhang Si saw some horror elements and styles.
The reason why Wu Shiying is willing to give up her rising personal career and join Zhang Si's studio is of course not because he is handsome, but because the comics that Zhang Si wants to make are completely different from most of the comics on the market, but they are exactly the kind of comics she wants to draw but are not inspired.
"Dream Travel" is very different from the popular comics on the market today, not only the style is different, but the story is also different.
The difference between them is like "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Dou Po".
The comics on the market are similar to popular online articles, and the pursuit is the ultimate coolness, quick slap in the face and reversal.
Their selling point is coolness.
But "Dream Travel" does not have a plot of pretending to slap the face, which does not meet the needs of the cool plot at all.
In Wu Shiying's view, the catharsis of emotions is the essence of a comic story, and it is what the author should pursue, including happiness, sadness, love, hatred, and letting go...... and so on.
Just bringing out a "cool" is too narrow.
The core selling point of "Dream Travel" is the catharsis of emotions, and its theme is not "cool", but love and memory and cherishment.
This is what impressed Wu Shiying the most, and it was also the biggest motivation for her to decide to work with Zhang Si.
Now, she is concerned about another question, whether Zhang Si can listen to her advice.
In her gaze, Zhang sighed and smiled: "Your proposal is good, I agree in principle, but I need you to elaborate on your thoughts, because you also know that if the background world changes, many other things will also have to be changed." ”
Wu Shiying smiled happily: "Okay, then I'll take up more than ten minutes and talk about my thoughts." ”
Zhang Si does not reject everyone's ideas, in fact, he has been thinking about how to make "Dream Travel" more in line with the world, which requires everyone to brainstorm.
