Chapter Seventy-Three: Before the College Entrance Examination
stayed in the imperial capital for one night, and the editorial department gave Zhang Yao an award the next day, because it is an award within "The King of Picture Books", and it is only open to cartoonists who serialize in their own magazines, so the so-called awards actually mean something, not as much fanfare as music ceremonies, not even reporters.
Although it is not grand, it is also a grand event for the "King of Picture Books", and the editor-in-chief gave a speech in the crowd of all the editors and presented the trophy and prize money to Zhang Yao, and the whole ceremony ended after he said a few words.
"Originally, our editorial department wanted to plan a symposium at the beginning, and other cartoonists also wanted to meet you, but you are going to take the college entrance examination now, and it is not appropriate to delay it for a long time, so I have to find an opportunity next time."
After the unexpectedly simple ceremony, Zhang Yao had breakfast in the editorial office, and then Yang Tian sent him to the airport, Zhang Yao smiled and said: "There are cartoonists from all over the world, and it is not easy to get together, but there will always be opportunities, in fact, I really want to get to know them." ”
Most full-time cartoonists are actually very homely, after all, most of the time they have to draw at home, and they generally don't like to move around, and for some people, a trip to the supermarket is even if they go far away, and they are not in a city and have to be busy with their own comics, and it is not easy to get together.
Bidding farewell to Yang Tian, Zhang Yao flew back to Qingxi wearing a large bag and a small bag, in addition to the trophy and generous bonuses, he also collected a lot of trophies, some were sent by the editorial department, and there were also private collections sent by Yang Tian and He Lili, and he gained a lot.
When I returned to Qingxi, it was nearly six o'clock in the afternoon, and the time was neither early nor late, Zhang Yao thought about it and then took a ride directly to the Dawn Studio, if he went home too early, there was nothing to do, so it was better to take the gift to Zheng Xiaoyi and them first.
When he came to the studio, sure enough, Ai Xiaoqi and Zheng Xiao were also there, and as soon as Ai Xiaoqi saw him, she came over, stretched out her hand and said, "What about my gift." ”
"Essential, No."
Zhang Yao directly handed over the bag, and Zheng Xiaoyi also walked over and said with a smile: "Zhang Yao, you just got off the plane, have you eaten?" ”
"I ate at the airport."
Originally, Zhang Yao wanted to come to the studio to eat, but Zheng Xiaoyi and Ai Xiaoqi should have already eaten at this restaurant, so they simply dealt with it at the airport and came over again, so as not to have trouble ordering food.
"Wow, there's still a single book signature of ShowTime, and it's still in Chinese characters."
Ai Xiaoqi was shocked after opening the loot that Zhang Yao brought back, Zhang Yao couldn't help but complain: "Please, there are a lot of Chinese characters in Japanese, and the author's original name is written in Chinese characters, do you think she deliberately used Chinese characters to sign." ”
In addition to the autographed book, Zhang Yao also brought back a large number of figures, accessories, scenery (entertainment-specific prizes), models, etc., because Ai Xiaoqi likes "ShowTime", and he also asked for this work with a cheeky face.
These figures and models are made vividly, and Zheng Xiaoyi can't put it down and play with it in his hand, and then asks: "Zhang Yao, Xiaoqi and I also paid special attention to it, why can't this golden brush award be received at all from the outside world, and there is no media report at all." ”
"Originally, the audience of comics is not as wide as music, and this is still an internal award for the king of picture books, just like the selection of outstanding employees in the company, it is natural that the momentum is small. It should be announced in the next issue of the magazine, and the media may only report on it at that time. ”
Zhang Yao shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't care, and then asked, "By the way, it's been five days now, has Hatsune's song been recorded, and has the animation MV been made?" ”
"The song Xiaoqi has been recorded, but the animation has not yet started production."
Zheng Xiao also said: "I was trying to tell you about this, these three songs are not as simple as the song of throwing onions and the song of pi, I think since I want to release a record, then I still have to specially design the dance moves, after all, Hatsune is an image that can sing and dance, but you can't mess this up." ”
"So it's up to you."
Ai Xiaoqi also put those gifts aside first, and said, "Originally, Sister Xiaoyi wanted to find a special person to choreograph Hatsune, but you told me before that you could handle it, so you decided to wait for you to come back and discuss it." ”
Zhang Yao's songs for Hatsune this time are "The First Love" and "DADADA", the latter song is less well-known in the original time and space, but there are many syllables and lyrics, which are very suitable for Hatsune's image, and Zuihou chose Jolin Tsai's "The Sun Never Sets".
"The previous eyelash curl animation company did a good job, so why don't you just leave it to them?"
Zhang Yao subconsciously said this, and Ai Xiaoqi said: "Please, that level is too amateurish, there are not so many fans who publish them on the Internet, it's not the same to release an album, and you don't want Hatsune to leave people with a lame image of dancing, right?" ”
Zhang Yao is full of confidence in dancing, although the choreographer has also been contacted, but he is not so confident, almost all of his dances are learned from various movies and MVs, and he used to be a guest dance teacher to teach others to dance to earn extra money.
I used to be so confident because there was already a dance in the MV of "Eyelash Curl", and it was okay to just move those movements over, but now only the MV of "DADADA" has dance in the three songs, and I haven't been exposed to it at all before.
Feeling a kind of embarrassment of blowing the cowhide, Zhang Yaoxin said horizontally: "Sister Xiaoyi, let's find a professional person, I have indeed been in contact with choreography, but it will take a lot of time for me to come by myself, and I can't do it now." ”
"Cut, it's a shame that you swore so much before, it turned out that it didn't work."
Ai Xiaoqi expressed contempt, and Zhang Yao wiped his forehead and said: "Now I really don't have confidence in my choreography, but I can't say no because of this, it's about the dignity of men." ”
"You haven't tried it, how do you know you can do it?"
Zhang Yao deliberately misinterpreted, and Ai Xiaoqi continued to express his disdain according to his words, and Zheng Xiaoyi smiled: "You two don't talk about yellow jokes, in that case, let's go to a professional choreographer." ”
The matter of choreographing Hatsune was finally handed over to Zheng Xiaoyi to solve, and it didn't take much time to find a professional, so Zhang Yao said: "Since you want to keep improving, it's better to redo it all over again." ”
"But the rhythm of this song is not suitable for dancing?"
Ai Xiaoqi followed suit, and Zhang Yao said: "I don't have to dance, the current Flash looks too shabby, and I used software to make this song before, so you have to re-record it." ”
After the matter of the Hatsune album was determined, Zhang Yao's mind was still choreographed, it was a pity that so many classic dance steps in the original time and space were not used, and it was bound to be danced in the future, so choreography was something that had to be solved.
It's not about dealing with other people, and because the two planes are different, sometimes it may need to be adapted, and if you are more skilled in choreography, you will be more comfortable doing everything.
He is very confident in dancing, singing and musical instruments, and he doesn't need to spend too much time on this, just practice occasionally, and now that most of his spare time is spent on comic techniques, it seems that it is time to share some experience to learn choreography, and it will be more beneficial to learn more related skills in the future.
When I returned to school the next day, there were already more large-character prompts on the blackboard newspaper at the back of the classroom, and there were only 30 days left before the college entrance examination, which gave people a sense of worry.
"This is deliberately creating pressure on students, right?"
As soon as Zhang Yao muttered and sat down, the squad leader came over and said, "Zhang Yao, the head teacher is looking for you to go." ”
Zhang Yao was a little lacking in confidence in the college entrance examination, and when he was a little depressed by the countdown prompt, he was even more speechless when he heard such a call, and said: "Come again, this time not only did I not stab Lou Zi, but I also didn't spread any scandals, right?" ”
"The head teacher is looking for you for graduation, not a lecture, you will know when you go."
This time, the class leader revealed a little news, which also made Zhang Yao feel a lot more relaxed, and he came to the school's office building with ease, found the office of the third-grade class teacher and walked in directly.
There are a total of 12 classes in the first middle and high school, the area of the office is not large, there are famous quotes on the wall, the two rows of desks in the room are tightly leaning in the middle, the twelve class teachers sit left and right, the head teachers of other classes continue to be busy with their own affairs after taking a look at Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao walked in front of his head teacher and said: "Teacher, I'm here." ”
The head teacher nodded and said straight to the point: "Zhang Yao, you are now a well-known music creator, and it is related to me that I have been looking for you since then." ”
As long as it is not trained, Zhang Yao also nodded, and the head teacher continued: "Every year when the students of the third year of high school graduate, the school will hold a graduation party, and each class needs to have a show, and this time is no exception. ”
The school has some evening parties every year, but it had nothing to do with Zhang Yao before, and now that he has shown his head, the head teacher thinks that he is also a matter of course, Zhang Yao said: "Teacher, this is not difficult, but everyone is busy with the college entrance examination, but I am afraid that there is no time to rehearse." ”
"Study should be a combination of work and rest, and taking a little time in the afternoon should be used to relax everyone's mood, thinking that it will be like this, and there will be no problem."
The head teacher is very open to this, Zhang Yao only then reflected that although the college entrance examination of the two time and space is equally important, the attitude is indeed very different, this time and space is much more relaxed, if it is replaced by the original time and space, not to mention taking time to prepare for the graduation party program, even if it is impossible to go to the spring outing before, teachers and parents are eager for students to study twenty-four hours a day.
