Daddy Academy

Chapter 231 Brainstorming (33 for subscription)

"Is it really going to be used?"

"It has been decided to open a comic studio, what do you think?"

"It's good. Half of such a big garden is empty. It's a waste, and it's deserted."

"It means that you will have more work in the future."

"That's not a matter, leave it to me."

"I see, do you want to find a helper for you?"

"No, no, I'll do it alone."

"Uncle, let's find someone else, it's too hard for you alone. After the studio is opened, you have to be on duty during the day, and then the children come at night, and you can't stay idle."

Lao Li was stunned for a long time, he hadn't heard Zhang Tan call his uncle for a long time.

He often yelled like this when he was a child, and as he grew older, it gradually disappeared.

His heart was touched, and after a short pause, he nodded and said, "Okay, just do as you want."

Zhang Tan asked: "Do you have anyone to recommend? It's best to be from our village. Everyone knows the basics, which makes people feel at ease."

Lao Li thought for a while, patted his head, and said that he had a bad memory and couldn't remember people all at once.

"It's okay, just write it down first, and tell me when you think about it later."

Zhang Tan took out the key and opened another three-story red brick building in the Little Red Horse Academy. A musty smell came to his nostrils, and choking flying dust was sucked into his nose. Zhang Tan sneezed twice.

He and Lao Li stepped back quickly and waited for nearly a minute before entering the room.

Lao Li said: "It has been useless for too long, and the building is only cleaned once a month. During this time, it often rains and the sun is rarely seen, so the musty smell is so strong."

The room was pitch black, Zhang Tan turned on his phone, and with the help of the flashlight function, he found the light switch.

da~~
da da~~
I pressed the switch, but the light bulb wouldn't come on.

"The light seems to be broken." Zhang Tan said.

Tried a few times, sure it's not the light bulb that's broken, but the wires are bad.

"Come back during the day, it's not easy right now."

The two retreated, and Zhang Tan looked up at the building. The structure and style were exactly the same as the one already in use. If it was not used again, it might become a haunted house.

The next day, Zhang Tan found a decoration company and spent three days repainting the inside.

This is not enough, there are decorations, and buying furniture, etc., there are many things to do.

He didn't have so much time to manipulate these things, but fortunately Xin Xiaoguang took the initiative to take over these tasks.He took two other animators, and after busy work, it took three to five days to finally tidy up the building.

The office space is set up, and the studio is also registered. The name is Little Red Horse Comics Studio. The logo is the same as that of Midnight Academy, a galloping little red horse.

"This place is really a good place, next to West Chang'an Avenue, a great hermit hidden in the city."

"I never thought that there would be such a place on West Chang'an Avenue. How could there be such a good place in this area? Aren't the developers rushing to buy it?"

"Our boss is an invisible rich man. Such a large place is worth hundreds of millions."

……

On this day, all the staff in the studio were in place, and many of them came in for the first time, and looked around curiously.

"Midnight Academy? Is it next to Midnight Academy? Why?"

"There is also a kindergarten."

Zhang Tan clapped his hands and said, "Be quiet, everyone. Let me introduce to you first. Our place is next to West Chang'an Street. The CBD and bars are nearby, which is very convenient. But you have also seen that there is a late-night school here." Garden, so, if you go to the bar, don't enter the garden..."

"What is a late night school? It is a school that is only open at night, not a kindergarten. It is for those families who have to go to work at night and have no one to take care of their children. Basically, the children will come after you get off work, just right Staggered."

"But regardless of whether it is staggered or not, we have three chapters..."

The three chapters of the agreement, in short, are not to disturb the children here.

There are a total of 8 people in the studio. On the first day of work, a small meeting was held to confirm the recent work.

The most important thing at present is the release of Coco.

Because the number of people was not large, and it was the first time, everyone worked together to create this comic first, familiarize each other, and let Zhang Tan understand everyone's abilities, and then consider whether it is possible to start multiple projects at the same time .

Zhang Tan wouldn't watch here every day, so the daily operation of the studio was handed over to Xin Xiaoguang and Wu Shiying.

Zhang Tan knows that the studio is still far from perfect, and there is still a lot to do, but the most urgent thing is to make the studio work first, and improve it while doing it.

Only by doing it can we know where the problem is and how to fix it.

"Boss, we have some ideas for Coco." Xin Xiaoguang said.

"Okay, let's talk, everyone can talk."

Everyone is chatting, and everyone has a lot of ideas.

At the beginning, Zhang Tan attracted everyone to join with the script of this comic, so everyone has studied this work for a long time and has a lot of ideas.

"I think the world view in the story should be based on Chinese civilization, and tell stories while promoting Chinese culture, so that everyone can feel more involved."

It was a beautiful female cartoonist named Wu Shiying who spoke.

There was no need for Zhang Tan to ask, someone asked the question he wanted to ask: "Then you want to start with the July Half Ghost Festival?"

Wu Shiying's eyes lit up, she nodded and said, "That's right, July and a half, Ghost Festival, the gate of hell is wide open, relatives, sacrifices, memories, nostalgia, incense, love... all the elements needed in the story can be found in this traditional festival." I found it, and it feels very…”

She looked at Zhang Tan with burning eyes, waiting for his statement.

Wu Shiying's resume immediately appeared in Zhang Tan's mind. She was a well-known cartoonist who had serialized two works and was on the rise in her career.

Her painting style has both feminine delicacy and tenderness, as well as unconstrained imagination. Even in the second work, Zhang Tan saw some horror elements and styles.

The reason why Wu Shiying gave up her rising personal career and joined Zhang Tan's studio was of course not because he was handsome, but because the comics Zhang Tan wanted to make were completely different from most of the ones on the market, but it was exactly what she wanted. The kind of manga that draws but has no inspiration.

"Coco" is very different from the popular comics currently on the market. Not only is the style different, but the story is also different.

The difference between them is like "Fortress Besieged" and "Fights Break".

The comics on the market are similar to popular web articles, and they pursue the ultimate refreshment, quick face-slapping and reversal.

Their selling point is cool.

However, "Coco" does not have a plot that pretends to be aggressive, and it does not meet the needs of Shuang's plot at all.

In Wu Shiying's understanding, emotional catharsis is the essence of a comic story and what the author should pursue, including changes in emotions such as happiness, sadness, love, hatred, letting go...etc.

It is too narrow to single out "Shuang".

The core selling point of "Coco" is the catharsis of emotions. Its theme is not "coolness", but love, memory and cherishment.

This is what moved Wu Shiying the most, and it was also the biggest motivation for her decision to work with Zhang Tan.

Now, she is concerned about another issue, whether Zhang Tan can listen to her suggestion.

In her gaze, Zhang Tan smiled and said: "Your proposal is good, I agree in principle, but you need to explain your thoughts in detail, because you also know that if the background world changes, many other contents will also need to be changed." and modify."

Wu Shiying smiled happily: "Okay, then I'll take you ten minutes to talk about my thoughts."

She felt that Zhang Tan was more attractive.

Zhang Tan does not reject everyone's ideas. In fact, he has been thinking about how to make "Coco" better fit the world, which requires everyone's brainstorming.

　The task is completed, and I am going to sleep, good night, melons, remember to vote, and our Kua Kua Lou event, this month is coming to the end of the month, if you haven't boasted yet, remember to praise... me.
