12. What do you want to do?(1/2)

"Is the newcomer here for Teacher Luo?"

In the studio, people saw Zhang Tan’s new face and asked Luo Ming next to him.

"This is Zhang Tan, a very talented young man. Now I am my screenwriter assistant. Please take care of him in the future."

Luo Ming would introduce it like this when he met others. Zhang Tan would stop and nodded with the other party with a smile. Some would leave after responding, while others would stop and talk to 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. Once each screenwriter follows the team, he will be arranged to be an office as the office space of the screenwriter team.

Luo Ming has strong business ability and has done many projects. He needs to make temporary arrangements for him every time, but later he simply asked him to fix it in this one.

"You will work here in the future, and we are the only ones at the moment." Luo Ming said.

The computer and office desk are ready, and the room is more than 20 square meters. In the future, Luo Ming and Zhang Tan will be there.

"Thank you." Zhang Tan said.

Luo Ming waved his hand and sat down, signaling Zhang Tan to sit down too.

"Let's talk about the script first. Now you are also a member of the crew. You say whatever you want. The most important thing about cooperating with the script is that the teams should be open and say everything."

The story background of "Under the Tianyu Mountain" is an ancient Chinese mythology period. It is in a feudal dynasty fictionalized by the author. There are many countries, including major countries such as Wei, Zhou, and Chu, as well as small countries such as Chen and Zhongshan. The protagonist is the former crown prince of Chen. At the age of 16, he encountered a palace coup. The general usurped power and seized the country. The protagonist fled from Chen and avoided the pursuit. Tianyu Mountain is the ancestral court of civilization in this world, brewing Chinese culture. Many legends of immortals and demons spread from there. In order to become stronger, the protagonist decided to find Tianyu Mountain, and thus began his experience of wandering and becoming stronger.

Last night, Zhang Tan carefully pondered the script outline and did have a new feeling.

"Then, I'll just say three points?" Zhang Tan said.

Luo Ming stretched out his hand and signaled him to speak.

The two chatted all morning, and in the afternoon, Luo Ming began to revise the script again, while Zhang Tan started to write the pet settings.

Considering the protagonist's miserable identity and dull personality, Zhang Tan first determined that the pet's setting must be funny, like Jiang Rong, so that the story can be more vivid and interesting.

Secondly, the personality must complement the protagonist. If the protagonist's personality is A, then the pet's personality should be B, one and two sides.

For example, if you encounter a strong enemy, the protagonist knows that he will lose, but has to face it. This is A-side.

His pet is afraid of death and is rather cowardly, and wants to escape. This is the B side.

The B side is actually the protagonist's side, his potential side.

When he encounters a strong enemy, he also wants to escape and is afraid. These emotions are not gone, but human emotions and six desires are normal.

But he is the protagonist, and readers like to see the protagonist's heroic, strong, upright and brave, and it is impossible for him to escape when encountering a strong enemy, so let the pet do these things. This is also a hint to the readers, which makes the protagonist more flesh and blood very concealedly.

Zhang Tan thought about it for a long time, combined with the plot and background, finally determined the pet's setting, and drew a sketch and handed it to Luo Ming.

"Zhuowu?" Luo Ming was quite surprised.

On the drawing paper that Zhang Tan gave him, he sketched a very strange beast. It was as big as an elephant, with a tiger's body, sharp claws, four curved and exposed fangs, and a sparkling mane when stretched out. It was shaped like a ruffle, and a tail that looked like a peacock's tail. The tail was simply painted with colorful strokes.

This is a very unpopular alien beast, originating from the Shanhai Jing.

Zhang Tan said: "Zuo Wu has a colorful tail, and wherever he goes, he has extremely strong destructive power."

According to the setting, Zuowu looks like a beast, but in fact he is very brave, often cowardly, greedy, lazy, and arrogant. When the protagonist picks up the cat teasing stick, the wild beast that looks very fierce will switch to the "big-eyed cute" mode in one second, staring at the small wooden stick, happily swinging its giant long tail, showing a "contrast cuteness".

"Interesting." Luo Ming looked at Zuo Wu's setting and said with a smile.

Zhang Tan said: "Zuowu is a strange beast in the mountains and seas. He is giant, like a tiger, with amazing destructive power. It conforms to the background setting of the story and can also protect the protagonist. However, it looks like a wild cat. Its colorful tail is very likable, arrogant, and greedy. Modern people like to raise cats and are born to identify with Zuowu..."

"And, it is complex and hidden with feet, and can become a clue."

Zhang Tan pointed to Zuo Wu's tail, which looked like a peacock's tail, and said: "Its tail is colorful and powerful, and can wipe out the enemy's weapons. This is because it has the bloodline of the Peacock King. Although it is thin, its source is mysterious and powerful..."

Zhang Tan explained his considerations in choosing Zuo Wu.

Luo Ming nodded and said, "It's pretty good. At least I like it very much at first sight. It's attractive to me and the settings are fine. Let's do it. I'll go back to think about it at night and make sure it will be done after I go to work tomorrow."

"OK."

The work of the day ended like this.

After get off work, Zhang Tan was about to go home, when Jiang Rong and He Chao stood downstairs.

Seeing him come out, Jiang Rong waved enthusiastically.

"What? Wait for me?" Zhang sighed.

Jiang Rong looked him up and down, punched him and said, "Okay, Zhang Tan, he left without saying a word, he didn't say hello, and he didn't treat people as friends, right?"

Zhang sighed: "I haven't walked very far. You guys are on the 8th floor and I am on the 9th floor. I'll just walk two steps away."

Jiang Rong said: "This is different. You have taken a key step, which is equivalent to a high rise. Is it a simple problem of two steps?"

He Chao said enviously: "Zhang Tan, congratulations."

He and Zhang Tan joined the company at the same time. In less than half a month, Zhang Tan had already jumped out of the script evaluation team, which was equivalent to having passed the "internship period", getting on track, and participating in major projects. He is still a newcomer and the one with the least qualifications 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 this, He Chao was inevitably discouraged while congratulating Zhang Tan.

Zhang sighed: "Thank you, it's time for you to come."

Jiang Rong: "Let's go, invite you to dinner, congratulations, and listen to you on the job of a screenwriter assistant."

The three of them had dinner together, and Jiang Rong suggested singing in KTV. The girl was very good at playing. Judging from her usual dress and habits, her family should be in good condition. She is a local girl from Pujiang.

He Chao couldn't go, so he answered his girlfriend's call and rushed back immediately.

The two of Zhang Tan and Jiang Rong were left. Zhang Tan said, "There are too few people singing without an atmosphere, so why don't you call me more friends when the time comes."

Jiang Rong: "It's not easy to call people. I can call a bunch of people with one phone call."

However, if that happens, Zhang Tan will look quite embarrassed. They are all her friends. Zhang Tan doesn’t know anyone. Jiang Rong obviously thought of this and said thoughtfully: “That’s OK, another day.”

Taking a taxi under West Chang'an Street, Zhang Tan walked to the entrance of Xiaohongma Academy and greeted the guard Lao Li. The school was brightly lit and the children's tender voices floated in the night.

When I went upstairs, I heard Xiaobai's particularly special and penetrating Trump again. She seemed to be quarreling with others again. Among the many Trumps, there was a saying that Zhang Tan checked the Internet yesterday, which was a swearing person.

Zhang Tan returned home. Before the door was closed, Xiaobai's voice came from the door.

"Uncle, you've just returned home?"

Is this kid a puppy? He was discovered as soon as he came back.

Zhang sighed and said, "Yes, haven't you played with the children?"

I just heard you were arguing.

Little white children's shoes were wearing the familiar blue Great China suit, lying on the edge of the door, looking at him curiously.

She seemed to have only two sets of clothes, one red and the other blue, and she was wearing it in turn.

"Do you want to play football with me?"

"Forget it, it's almost dark and you'll fall."

If the Chinese men's football team has the enthusiasm of you, they will not worry about not being able to make it out of Asia.

"Claws?" Xiaobai asked lying on the edge of the door.

"It's dark and I can't see the road clearly. It's easy to fall. It hurts so much."

"There is a lamp, I got up after falling down. Oh, you will cry."

This little guy even mocks him!

Zhang Tan could only make the old excuse again.

"I didn't eat."

"Your paws are not eaten by Mangbang?"

"Are you just getting off work? Come in and sit down. The grapes you like to eat have not been finished yet."

Zhang Tan sent an invitation.

Xiaobai asked with caution: "Have you drunk?"

“11=2.”

Xiaobai immediately felt relieved: "Then I'll come in."

"Come in."

He saw Xiaobai take off his shoes and reveal a pair of broken socks. He was embarrassed last time, but this time he was not embarrassed, and even said that she was a little devil.

This metaphor sounds weird.

Zhang Tan found the backpack for work, took out a pair of small slippers, put it in front of Xiaobai, and said, "Prepare a pair of small shoes for you, so you don't have to barefoot."

Xiaobai looked down at the little shoes that were sent to him, with the pattern of a bear on it, and she looked very cute. She asked in surprise: "Claws? Are you wearing them for Xiaobai?"

Zhang Tan nodded: "Yes, I'll wear it for you."

"Hey~~It's the new thia!"

I just bought it on the way off work, of course it was new.

Xiaobai picked up the slippers and looked at them happily. Suddenly his face changed. He stared at Zhang seriously and asked, "Uncle, what do you want to do?"

"Ah?" Zhang Tan was puzzled.
