14. I'm performing my strengths

At half past seven in the morning, Zhang Si came to the company. Luo Ming hadn't come yet, and the office window was closed, a little sullen.

He put down his backpack, walked to the window, pushed the window open, and let in the fresh air, and the traffic on Yongan Street was busy, and the noise poured in with the air.

Luo Ming likes to be quiet, so the windows are always closed, the air conditioner is always on, and when he doesn't come, change the air in the room first.

Zhang Si found a kettle from the corner, touched it, and his hands were stained with a layer of dust, which looked useless for a long time, he washed the inside and out, filled the water dispenser with water, plugged in the socket, and took out the Lushan clouds and mist from his backpack, as well as a thermos cup and a teapot.

The water boiled, made a pot of tea, a few minutes after eight o'clock, estimated that Luo Ming was coming, Zhang Si closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, adjusted to ventilation mode, the tone in the office was single, and I thought that I would bring two pots of flowers and plants tomorrow, decorated with some green, eye-catching.

After a while, Luo Ming pushed the door in, and said a little strangely: "The office looks a little different, have you cleaned it?"

Zhang Si smiled and said, "Boil a pot of tea and taste it." ”

"I have a heart. Luo Ming poured a cup with a smile, and after drinking it, he sighed to Zhang and said, "Just follow what you wrote, add a donkey." ”

Zhang Si didn't have much surprise, nodded and said hello.

Luo Ming continued: "I have already written the plot of the first 5 episodes, and you are responsible for adding the plot of Sugo today, and the principle is not to have an impact on the main line." ”

"No problem. Zhang Si put down the teacup, filled his thermos cup with tea, put it at hand, turned on the computer, and went to work.

Luo Ming's personality is a bit dull and he doesn't like to chat very much.

So is Zhang Si.

As soon as the two of them got to work, no one spoke, and the office was very quiet, except for the sound of computer keyboards being tapped, and the occasional gurgling of water from the water dispenser.

Join the role of Sugo, but it can't affect the main line, so it's actually a gag, mediating the atmosphere, Zhang Si firmly grasps this principle, and tries to set up the image of Sugo as soon as possible within the scope of choice.

After writing in the afternoon, Luo Ming took the script and went to the chief director to discuss, and in the end, if it was not successful, the chief director had to check it.

Not long after, Luo Ming came back and said that the chief director agreed, Zhang Si breathed a sigh of relief, and the role of Wu Wu was finally decided.

Luo Ming encouraged two sentences, and then said: "This is good news, and there is bad news, the chief director asked us to take out the script of the next 5 episodes within three days, the time is very tight, I will write the first two episodes, and you will write the last three episodes, how about it?"

The cartoon is grouped, with the first 5 episodes being produced by one group, and after a few days, the other 5 episodes are started by another group, so as to ensure that the progress is orderly.

Luo Ming is going to discuss the storyboard with the first group tomorrow, and he has no time to write the script, and seeing that Zhang Si is stable and very capable, he wants him to participate in the trial.

Of course, Zhang Si has no problem, but he can't ask for it.

"Then let's go through the main plot again. Luo Ming said.

In the next three days, Zhang Si devoted himself to the creation of the script, on the basis of maintaining the unity of style with the first 5 episodes, focusing on the main plot, making some micro-innovations, the whole process was quite smooth, but it was always a feeling of being constrained.

Luo Ming read the script of the three episodes he wrote, made some modifications, kept it as it was, integrated the two episodes he wrote himself, a total of 5 episodes, printed it out, and handed it over to the chief director for review.

"This is written by the newcomer you brought?" The chief director's surname is Fu, after reading the script of 5 episodes, he turned to the last three episodes, watched it again, and asked Luo Ming curiously.

Luo Ming's eyebrows involuntarily raised upwards and said, "It's called Zhang Si, he wrote it." ”

Director Fu smiled and put the script neatly in his hand, covered it with his palm, and said, "It's pretty good, no wonder you took a fancy to it so quickly." I have no problem with the script, it's very good. ”

Luo Ming has rich experience in doing projects, and it can be said that he has experienced a lot of battles, but he is still very relaxed when he hears this. As a screenwriter, the most difficult thing is not to conceive the script, but to discuss the script with the superiors, especially if you meet a layman to guide an insider, you can make people angry, he has seen a female screenwriter cry angrily.

"Let's have a meal after work, do you have time?"

After coming back, Luo Ming saw Zhang Si writing and painting on the desk and asked.

Zhang Si could see from Luo Ming's demeanor that the conversation with the chief director should be very smooth, that is to say, the script of the 5 episodes just handed in was passed, so he didn't ask much, and said with a smile: "I know there is a good restaurant." ”

"Then I'll follow you, will you drive or take mine?"

Zhang Si didn't have a car.

"Take yours. ”

There is still half an hour to get off work, and Luo Ming said that he will leave now, and it will not be bad for this time.

The two packed up their things, Luo Ming saw the manuscript paper on Zhang Si's table, with some patterns drawn on it, first glanced at it casually, suddenly turned around and stared, picked it up again, came to his eyes, and asked Zhang Si curiously: "You painted this?"

Zhang Si packed his backpack and said, "I don't know if Fu doesn't fit the style of the story." ”

Luo Ming was surprised, I didn't expect Zhang Si to have this hand, the manuscript paper is painted with a protagonist and Wu Wu standing by the river, and the scene of confrontation with the river demon in the river, if I remember correctly, this is a story in episode 6, with the help of Wu Wu, the protagonist defeated the river demon hard, obtained the demon pill, and his strength got the first large surge.

This is a very important climax.

Although Zhang Si's painting is only a static picture, it is quite deverent, and people can feel the tension behind the picture, which is very tense.

"Very good, it's exactly what I expected, and I can use this tomorrow to talk to the storyboarders and let them use it as a reference. Luo Ming said.

After the anime script is decided, the next step is to draw a storyboard, that is, to convert the text into a picture, which requires the screenwriter and storyboard to fully communicate and understand each other's intentions.

The two closed the office door, walked out of the building, and under the guidance of Zhang Si, drove for more than ten minutes to a restaurant that was not very conspicuous.

Although the environment is not high, the dishes are very good, and Luo Ming is full of praise.

After eating, Luo Ming received a call from his wife, and Zhang Si guessed from the content and tone of his speech, which is not difficult to guess.

Luo Ming is in his 40s, he has been married a long time ago, he wears a wedding ring on his finger, and sometimes he will bring his own lunch box at noon.

Seeing him hang up the phone, Zhang sighed and said, "Sister-in-law's phone?"

Luo Ming put away his phone: "Let me go back and tutor my daughter with homework." ”

Then he said helplessly: "The child is in the third year of junior high school, and I can't do some homework, so I have to use my brain with my wife, and I have to work hard." ”

Zhang sighed and smiled: "Then go back quickly." ”

Luo Ming: "Don't worry, I'll send you home first." ”

"Don't bother, I'll take the subway here, and it will take ten minutes to get there. ”

Luo Ming finally drove away by himself, Zhang Si took the subway back to West Chang'an Street, and just arrived at the Little Red Horse School Park, he saw two little girls standing under the mulberry tree.

It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and the children are all playing in the activity room, but these two are the only ones.

Zhang Si knew them, one was Xiaomi, the other was Meng Chengcheng, and when he suddenly appeared, the two children were obviously startled, like thieves, and their eyes were staring.

Am I so scary? Zhang sighed and said, "What are you doing outside? Go back to the classroom and play, there are mosquitoes outside." ”

Meng Chengcheng nodded confusedly, turned around and left, just turning back in three steps.

As for Xiaomi, he didn't go, he was looking at the trees with his little head held high, sneaking.

Zhang Si followed her gaze to the mulberry tree, and it was his turn to be startled.

I saw a little girl in red holding the trunk of a tree, sitting on the branch, seeing him look over, he smiled and waved his hand, and said proudly with Trump: "I'm Afer, I'm performing my strengths." ”
