14. I am showing my strengths

At 7:30 in the morning, Zhang Tan came to the company. Before Luo Ming came, the office windows were closed and he was a little frustrated.

He put down his backpack, walked to the window, opened it, and let fresh air come in. Yong'an Street was full of traffic, and noise poured in with the air.

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

Zhang Tan found a kettle from the corner, touched it, and a layer of dust was stained with dust on his hands. It seemed that it had not been useful for a long time. He washed the inside and outside, filled the water dispenser, inserted it into the socket, and took out the clouds and mists brought from his backpack, as well as a thermos cup and a teapot.

The water boiled and made a pot of tea. After eight o'clock, Luo Ming was about to arrive. Zhang Tan closed the window, turned on the air conditioner, and changed it into a ventilation mode. The office was single in color. He thought that he would bring two pots of flowers and plants tomorrow to embellish some green, which would be pleasing to the eye.

After a while, Luo Ming pushed the door open and said strangely: "The office looks a bit different. Have you cleaned it?"

Zhang sighed and said, "Burn a pot of tea and taste it."

"I'm interested." Luo Ming poured a glass with a smile, and after drinking it, he said to Zhang Tan: "Just add a Zuowu as you wrote."

Zhang Tan was not very surprised and nodded and said ok.

Luo Ming continued: "I have written the plot of the first 5 episodes. You are responsible for adding Zuo Wu's plot today. The principle is that you cannot have an impact on the main line."

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

Luo Ming has a bit dull personality and doesn't like chatting much.

So is Zhang Tan.

When the two of them worked, no one spoke. The office seemed very quiet, with only the sound of the computer keyboard being tapped and the sound of water purrs coming from time to time.

Joining the character Zuowu, but it cannot affect the main line, so it is actually just making jokes and mediating the atmosphere. Zhang Tan firmly grasps this principle and within the optional range, try to establish Zuowu's image as soon as possible.

After writing in the afternoon, Luo Ming took the script and went to the director to discuss whether it was finally successful. The director asked the director to check whether it was successful.

Not long after, Luo Ming came back and said that the director agreed. Zhang Tan breathed a sigh of relief. The role of Zuo Wu was finally confirmed.

Luo Ming encouraged a few words and then said, "This is good news, and there is bad news. The director asked us to take out the scripts for the next 5 episodes within three days. Time is very tight. I will write the first two episodes, and you can write and read the last three episodes. How about it?"

The cartoon is grouped. The first 5 episodes are produced by one group. After a few days, the other 5 episodes are started by another group to ensure orderly progress.

Luo Mingming was going to discuss the storyboard with the first group today. He didn't have time to write the script. He saw that Zhang Tan was steady and had strong abilities, so he wanted him to participate and try it out.

Of course, Zhang Tan is fine, he can't find it.

"Then let's look at the main plot again." Luo Ming said.

In the next three days, Zhang Tan focused on script creation. On the basis of maintaining the style of the first five episodes, he made some micro-innovations around the main plot. The whole process went smoothly, which was always a feeling of being restrained.

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

"Is this written by the newcomer you brought?" The director of the head is Fu. After reading the script for 5 episodes, he turned to the last three episodes, read it again, and asked Luo Ming curiously.

Luo Ming couldn't help but lift his eyebrows up and said, "I'm calling him Zhang Tan, he wrote it."

Director Fu smiled and put the script neatly at his hand, covering his palms on it, and said, "It's pretty good, no wonder you're attracted to it so quickly. I'm fine with the script, it's very good."

Luo Ming has rich experience in projects and can be said to have experienced many battles, but he still feels very relaxed when he hears this sentence. As a screenwriter, the most difficult thing is not to conceive a script, but to discuss scripts with his superiors. Especially if he meets an outsider and instructs an expert, he can make people angry. He has seen a female screenwriter who was angry and cried.

"Do you have a meal together after get off work? Is there any time?"

After returning, Luo Ming asked when he saw Zhang Tan attaching to his desk and writing and drawing.

Zhang Tan could see from Luo Ming's expression that the conversation with the director should be very smooth, which means that the 5 episodes of the first handed over were passed, so he didn't ask much and said with a smile: "I know there is a good restaurant."

"When you follow you later, will you drive or take me?"

Zhang Tan has no car.

"Take yours."

Having left work for half an hour, Luo Ming said he would leave now, and it would be no shortage of this time.

The two of them packed up their things. Luo Ming saw Zhang Tan's manuscript paper on the table with some patterns on it. He glanced casually, then turned around and stared at it, then picked it up, leaned in front of him, and asked Zhang Tan curiously: "What did you draw?"

Zhang Tan packed his backpack and said, "I don't know if the Conscience fits the style of the story."

Luo Ming was amazed. Unexpectedly, Zhang Tan had this trick. The manuscript painted a scene where the protagonist and Zuo Wu stood by the river and confronted the river demon in the river. If you remember correctly, this is a story in episode 6. With the help of Zuo Wu, the protagonist struggled to defeat the river demon and obtained the demon pill, and his strength increased significantly for the first time.

This is a very important plot climax.

Although Zhang Tan painted only a still picture, it has a very demeanor, making people feel the tension and tension behind the scene, which is very tense.

"It's very good, very consistent with what I imagined. I can use this to chat with the storyline tomorrow and let them use it as a reference." Luo Ming said.

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

The two closed the office door and left the building. Under Zhang Tan's guidance, they drove for more than ten minutes to a restaurant that was not very conspicuous.

Although the environment is not high-end, the dishes are very good, and Luo Ming praised it endlessly.

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

Luo Ming is in his 40s and has been married for a long time. He has a wedding ring on his fingers. Sometimes he will bring a bento himself at noon. The colorful and delicate tricks are very pleasing to the eye. It is obvious that it is prepared by the lady.

Seeing him hung up the phone, Zhang sighed and said, "Is sister-in-law's phone number?"

Luo Ming put away his cell phone: "Let him go back and tutor his daughter for homework."

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

Zhang sighed and said, "Then go back quickly."

Luo Ming: "No hurry, I'll take you home first."

"No need to worry, I'll take the subway here and it will be within ten minutes."

Luo Ming finally drove away by himself. Zhang Tan took the subway back to West Chang'an Street. As soon as he arrived at Xiaohongma Academy, 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 Tan knew them, one was Xiaomi and the other was Meng Chengcheng. When he saw him suddenly appear, the two children were obviously startled, and they looked around like little thief.

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

Meng Chengcheng nodded in confusion, turned around and left, only turning around in three steps.

As for Xiaomi, she didn't leave, she held her little head and looked up at the tree, sneaking.

Zhang Tan followed her gaze and looked up at the mulberry tree. It was his turn to be shocked.
