12. What do you want to do?
"Teacher Luo is a newcomer?"
In the studio, people saw Zhang Si's new face and asked Luo Ming on the side.
"This is Zhang Si, a very talented young man, who is now my screenwriter's assistant, please take care of him in the future. ”
Luo Ming introduced it like this, Zhang Si 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 walked through the office area on the ninth floor and entered the office.
Luo Ming is not a leader, but he is a senior screenwriter, and once each screenwriter joins the group, he will be assigned an office as the office space of the screenwriter team.
Luo Ming has a strong business ability, has done many projects, and every time he needs to be temporarily arranged, he was simply fixed in this one.
"You'll be working here from now on, just the two of us for now. Luo Ming said.
The computer and desk have been prepared, and the room of more than 20 square meters will be Luo Ming and Zhang Si in the future.
"Thank you. Zhang sighed and said.
Luo Ming waved his hand, sat down, and motioned for Zhang Sian to sit too.
"Let's talk about the script first, now you are also a member of the crew, what to say, the most important thing to work together to write the script is to be open to each other, and there is one thing to say. ”
The story background of "Under the Tianyu Mountain" is the period of ancient Chinese mythology, in a fictitious feudal dynasty by the author, there are many countries, there are large countries such as Wei, Zhou, Chu, and small countries such as Chen and Zhongshan, the protagonist is the former prince of Chen Guo, when he was 16 years old, he suffered a palace coup, the general usurped power, and seized the country, and the protagonist fled from Chen and avoided pursuit all the way. Tianyu Mountain is the ancestral court of civilization in this world, brewing Chinese culture, many legends of gods and demons are spread from there, the protagonist in order to become stronger and restore the country, decided to find Tianyu Mountain, thus began the experience of becoming stronger while wandering.
Last night, Zhang Si carefully pondered the outline of the script, and he did have new feelings.
"So, I'll just say three points?" Zhang Si 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 revise the script again, while Zhang Si wrote the pet settings by hand.
Considering the protagonist's tragic identity and dull personality, Zhang Si first determined that the setting of the pet must be comic, like Jiang Rong, so that the story can be more vivid and interesting.
Secondly, the personality must be complementary to the protagonist, if the protagonist's personality is side A, then the pet's personality should be side B, one and two sides.
For example, if you encounter a strong enemy, the protagonist knows that he is invincible, but he has to face it, which is side A.
And his pet is afraid of death, more cowardly, and wants to escape, this is the B side.
The B side is actually the protagonist's side, his potential side.
When encountering a strong enemy, he also wants to run away, and he will be afraid, these emotions are not absent, people's seven emotions and six desires are normal.
But he is the protagonist, and readers like to see the protagonist brave and powerful, upright and brave, and it is impossible for him to run away when he encounters a strong enemy, so let the pet do this, which is also a hint to the reader, very covertly to make the protagonist more flesh and blood.
Zhang Si pondered for a long time, combined with the plot and background, and finally determined the setting of the pet, and drew a sketch and handed it to Luo Ming.
"Wuwu?" Luo Ming was surprised.
On the drawing paper handed to him, Zhang Si sketched a very peculiar beast, it was as large as an elephant, with the body of a tiger, sharp claws, four curved and exposed fangs, a glittering mane when extended, shaped like a ruffle, and a tail like a peacock's tail, on which a variety of colors were simply drawn with colored pens.
This is a very unpopular kind of strange beast, derived from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Zhang sighed and said: "I have a colorful tail, and everywhere I go, it is extremely destructive. ”
According to the setting, Sugo looks like a fierce beast, but in fact, he is very timid, often cowardly, greedy and lazy, and arrogant. When the protagonist picks up the cat teasing stick, this fierce-looking beast will switch to the "big-eyed cute boy" mode in a second, staring at the small wooden stick and happily swinging the giant long tail, showing the "contrast cute".
"Interesting. Luo Ming looked at the setting of Wu Wu and said with a smile.
Zhang sighed and said: "Wu Wu is a strange beast of the mountains and seas, giant, like a tiger, amazing destructive power, in line with the background setting of the story, and can also give shelter to the protagonist, but it also resembles a wild cat, the colorful and gorgeous tail is very pleasing, arrogant, greedy, modern people like to raise cats, and they naturally have a sense ......of identity with Su Wu."
"Moreover, it is complex and stealthy and can be a clue. ”
Zhang Si pointed to the tail that looked like a peacock's tail and said, "Its tail is colorful and powerful, and it can brush away the enemy's weapons, this is because it has the blood of the Peacock King, although it is thin, but the source is mysterious and powerful......"
Zhang Si explained the consideration of choosing Sugo.
Luo Ming nodded and said: "It's good, at least I like it at first glance, it is attractive to me, and it looks like there is no problem in terms of setting, so let's go back and think about it at night, and I'll make sure after I go to work tomorrow." ”
"Okay. ”
This is the end of the day's work.
After getting off work, Zhang Si was about to go home, and Jiang Rong and He Chao were standing downstairs.
Seeing him come out, Jiang Rong beckoned warmly.
"Why, wait for me?" asked Zhang Si.
Jiang Rong looked him up and down, punched him and said, "Okay, sigh, leave without saying a word, don't say hello, don't treat people as friends, don't you?"
Zhang sighed: "I didn't go far, you guys are on the 8th floor, I am on the 9th floor, and I will run through the door after walking two steps." ”
Jiang Rong said: "This is different, you have taken a key step, which is equivalent to ascending, is it a simple matter of taking two steps?"
He Chao said enviously on the side: "Zhang sigh, congratulations." ”
He and Zhang Si joined the company at the same time, in less than half a month, Zhang Si has jumped out of the script evaluation team, which is equivalent to passing the "internship period", getting on the right track, and participating in big projects, and he is still a newcomer, the youngest one in the script evaluation team, last week the deputy team leader talked to him and encouraged him to work harder, the implication is that his ability is not enough to gain a foothold now.
Thinking of these, He Chao was inevitably discouraged while congratulating Zhang Si.
Zhang sighed: "Thank you, you guys will be sooner or later." ”
Jiang Rong: "Let's go, please eat, congratulate you, and by the way, listen to you talk about the work of the screenwriter's assistant." ”
The three of them had dinner together, Jiang Rong proposed to sing KTV, this girl is very good at playing, looking at her usual dress and habits, the family conditions should be very good, she is a local girl in Pujiang.
He Chao couldn't go, he answered his girlfriend's call and rushed back immediately.
Zhang Si and Jiang Rong were left, and Zhang Si said: "There are too few people to sing and no atmosphere, why don't you call a few more friends when the time comes." ”
Jiang Rong: "It's not easy to call someone, I can call a gang with a phone call." ”
However, in that case, Zhang Si will look quite embarrassed, they are all her friends, Zhang Si doesn't know one, Jiang Rong obviously thought of this, and said intimately: "That's okay, another day." ”
Take a taxi under West Chang'an Street,Zhang Si walked to the gate of the Little Red Horse School Park,Say hello to the doorman Lao Li,The lights in the school park are brilliant,The children's immature voices are floating in the night。
When I went upstairs, I heard Xiaobai's extraordinarily special and penetrating Trump, she seemed to be arguing with people again, among the many Trumps, there was a melon baby, Zhang sighed that I checked it on the Internet yesterday, this is scolding.
Zhang sighed and went home, but before the door was closed, Xiaobai's voice came from the door.
"Uncle, are you just going home?"
Is this kid a puppy? As soon as he came back, he was discovered.
Zhang sighed and said, "Yes, didn't you play with the children?"
I just heard you arguing.
The little white boy was wearing the familiar blue big China, lying on the edge of the door, looking at him curiously.
She seems to have only two sets of clothes, one red and one blue, which she wears in turns.
"Are you going to play football with me?"
"Forget it, it's getting dark, and you're going to wrestle. ”
If the Chinese men's football team has such enthusiasm as you, it will not be able to rush out of Asia.
"Claws?" asked Xiaobai lying on the edge of the door.
"When it's dark, you can't see the road clearly, it's easy to fall, and it hurts. ”
"There's a lamp, fall and get up, oh, you're going to cry. ”
This little guy can even taunt!
Zhang Si could only move out of the old excuse again.
"I didn't eat. ”
"You didn't eat your paws?"
"Haven't you just gotten off work? Come in and sit down, you haven't finished eating your favorite grapes yet." ”
Zhang Si sent out an invitation.
Xiaobai asked warily, "Have you drunk?"
“1+1=2。 ”
Xiaobai was immediately relieved: "Then I'll come in." ”
"Come in. ”
He saw Xiaobai take off his little shoes, revealing a pair of torn socks again, he was embarrassed last time, but this time he was not embarrassed, and said that she was a little ghost.
This metaphor sounds strange.
Zhang Si found the backpack for work, took out a pair of small slippers from it, put it in front of Xiaobai, and said, "I have prepared a pair of small shoes for you, so you don't need to be barefoot." ”
Xiaobai looked down at the little shoes that were sent to her, with the pattern of a bear on them, very cute, she asked in surprise: "Paws, for Xiaobai?"
Zhang sighed and nodded: "Yes, it's for you." ”
"Hey~~ It's the new thia!"
I just bought it on the way to work, of course it's new.
Xiaobai picked up the little slippers, looked at them happily, and suddenly his face changed, and he stared at Zhang Si seriously and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to do?"
"Huh?" Zhang sighed and wondered.
"What do you want to do when you buy shoes for Xiaobai?"
Zhang sighed and laughed, do you think I plan to buy you with a pair of small slippers? You're too cheap.
"I didn't want to do anything, just because you came to my house last time, and I didn't have the right shoes for you to wear, so I bought a pair on the way home from work today. ”
"Oh. Xiaobai looked at the little slippers, I really like it, but ......
"I don't want you. ”
"I know, I know, it's okay if you don't. ”
"That's back to you. ”
"For you to wear, you come to my house as a guest, of course I have to prepare small shoes for you to wear, you can't let the guests walk barefoot at home, that's impolite. ”
Xiaobai muttered: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”
Zhang sighed and laughed: "You don't have to know, just put it on." ”
Xiaobai still didn't wear it, not because he didn't wear it, but because he was reluctant to wear it.
She took the little slippers in her hand, walked around the house wearing a pair of torn socks, suddenly remembered something, ran to the door, picked up a glass bottle that had just been placed against the wall, sent it to Zhang Si, and said proudly: "Uncle, look! Xiaobai caught a Ding Ding cat, and the other melon babies didn't catch it, so Xiaobai caught it, is Xiaobai miserable?"
"Tintin Cat?"
Tinker Bell? Zhang Si asked suspiciously, but when he saw that there was a dragonfly in the glass bottle, this is called Tintin Cat?
"Dragonfly, amazing, how did you catch it?"
"I caught it with my little hands, and that's my strong point. ”
She sat on a small stool, holding a glass bottle in one hand, digging in her trouser pocket with the other, took out a candy, handed it to Zhang Si, and invited him to eat it.
This child is very polite, several times to come to the door without empty hands, used to be a handful of boiled peanuts, now is a candy, how much is the mind, really good.
