268. The first comic book (1/3)
“Malan Flowers and Malan Flowers
Don't be afraid of wind and rain
A hardworking person is talking
Please bloom now..."
In the quiet little red horse school, the small tits singing sounded.
People passing by the entrance of the school heard the gentle singing floating in, and then looked inside, only to see someone on the edge of the woods in the yard, but they couldn't see who it was.
The comic authors in Building 2 were writing hard and catching up with the progress of time. Wu Shiying put down her brush, got up and stretched, soaked a cup of black tea again, walked to the window, and looked out the view outside the window.
"This place is so good, it's hidden in the city." Another female painter in the studio, named Yang Xiaoxue.
Standing in their position, you can see the bustling West Chang'an Street through the small woods in the middle isolation area between the leaves and branches.
"Who is singing? It seems that she has been singing for a whole morning." Wu Shiying asked curiously.
Yang Xiaoxue stopped moving and listened carefully. Sure enough, she heard the slight singing floating in and said with a smile: "When I came to work, I heard someone singing. It's a child, the kind that sounds like a child, who has not been weaned yet, and it seems that it has always been the same song."
""Malanhua, Malanhua, are not afraid of wind and rain~" Wu Shiying sang a few lines and laughed, "I'll go and see and find this kid."
She works on the second floor and goes downstairs to follow the sound.
Yang Xiaoxue put down the teacup and followed: "There should be no talent in the school during the day, why are the children coming today?"
When the two of them went out, the bright sunshine shone on their bodies, warm and a little dazzling.
"The weather is so good today, and the sound is just over the woods next to Building 1. Let's go and have a look." Wu Shiying said.
The more they walked forward, the clearer the singing became. Finally, they saw the child sitting in the sun holding a microphone and singing.
She wore a big red coat and a blue panda wool hat on her head. She sat in a small chair, as bulky as a ball.
"It's Xiaobai." Wu Shiying recognized it, and was curious at the same time that Xiaobai had come to Xiaohongma during the day.
She looked around and saw that there was no one else, only her.
"Xiaobai~~~What are you doing here?" Wu Shiying and Yang Xiaoxue stepped forward and asked Xiaobai who was singing.
Xiaobai had a dark face and ignored others. Yang Xiaoxue and Xiaobai were not familiar with each other and whispered that they were so fierce. Unexpectedly, Xiaobai heard it and immediately glared at her: "What are you trying to pinch you?!!!"
Yang Xiaoxue apologized in embarrassment and secretly stuck out her tongue. It was really fierce.
Ma Lanhua and Bai Jianping left early this morning and went to Zhejiang with Bai Zhiqiang and Yang Yi. The two families who were about to become in-laws met for the first time and discussed the marriage.
Xiaobai was sent to Xiaohongma by Ma Lanhua and handed over to Zhang Tan for care.
Xiaobai cried for a while, but he didn't look good all morning. He had a dark face and was fierce. He sat in the sun and sang a karaoke machine, only singing one song, "Malanhua", which shows how deep his resentment is.
Xiaomi leaned over at the gate of Building 1 and looked here. She didn't leave today and stayed with Xiaohongma to accompany Xiaobai. However, it seemed that Xiaobai didn't need her to accompany her. She sang alone until she was so excited. She kept repeating that song. Xiaomi was bored and ran to the classroom to read picture books and watch TV. She occasionally ran out to see Xiaobai.
As for Zhang Tan, he is currently working on the balcony on the third floor, basking in the sun, drinking tea, listening to Xiaobai singing, overlooking the little red horse and the street view of West Chang'an Street in the distance.
It’s not that he can’t go down to accompany Xiaobai, but that Xiaobai doesn’t need it and is still mad at him.
Zhang Tan felt that Xiaobai needed to be alone for a while now, so he didn't care about her anymore and let her vent her own sing. After singing for more than half a morning, it should be almost done.
Wu Shiying looked up and happened to see Zhang Tan. Zhang Tan waved at her and came downstairs.
Wu Shiying said: "The first comic has been drawn. Do you want to see it?"
Zhang Tan is thinking about this. The first chapter is the most important, and the style and tone of the whole comic is laid out.
"Let's go, take a look." Zhang Tan said, "Xiaomi, let's go see painting, Xiaobai, are you tired of singing? Let's go see painting."
Xiaomi hugged the pug puppet and ran over. Xiaobai pouted, and his cheeks were bulging and his thighs remained motionless. But Zhang Tan saw that the little girl had already calmed down a lot. She should not be approached if she was no longer a stranger.
He walked over with a smile, squatted in front of Xiaobai, and took out Xiaobai's blue sippy cup like a magic trick, and advised her to drink some water first, so that she would be thirsty when singing.
Wu Shiying and Yang Xiaoxue stood not far away and watched. Yang Xiaoxue asked in surprise: "Boss Zhang is so gentle. Who is this Xiaobai? Why is he so kind to her?"
Wu Shiying shook her head, she didn't know, but isn't gentle men more attractive?
Under Zhang Tan's routine, Xiaobai finally set off and followed Xiaomi to the comic studio.
Today I have drawn the first chapter of "Dream Searching for a Dream" and it has been colored and is a complete version. All the processes have been completed.
Zhang Tan stood in front of the computer, looked at it very carefully, discussed it with everyone, and finally put forward three suggestions for revisions, but no one else moved.
Wu Shiying and others were very excited, and the first draft was basically passed, which shows that this time I went out to collect folk songs was very effective.
Zhang Tan said: "After the second time I draw it, I can publish it on the online platform. If we have serialized it, we have enough staff, so we don't have to worry about not being able to keep up with the progress."
Anyone who can update every author every week, and it is no problem for them to divide the work and work together.
Xin Xiaoguang said confidently: "The script has been confirmed long ago, and it took so much time to digest it. As long as you start drawing, the progress will definitely be very fast and there is no stuck. So, should we consider the second work at the same time?"
It is indeed a luxury for 10 people to draw a comic. Moreover, "The Dream and Travels" is not a long work, but at most it is a middle-class work. The total length is set at 10 chapters, with a total of 200 pages, which is exactly the amount of a single book.
"It's true that it's time to consider new works. Do you have any ideas?" Zhang sighed.
Xin Xiaoguang and Wu Shiying looked at each other, and Xin Xiaoguang said: "There are creativity, but it is just an idea, and a relatively complete script has not been formed yet."
Zhang Tan asked them to list the ideas they thought of first and find an opportunity to discuss them. Of course, he would also think.
Zhang Tan had many good comics in his mind, but he still wanted to ask everyone first. If you think about it together, you can't always count on him. The studio is full of young people. When everyone gets together, they should be able to create more sparks.
After coming out of the studio, the sun had already reached the top of my head. It was noon. Zhang Tan looked down at the two little girls holding hands at his feet. It was time to find food for them.
"Let's go, let's have a meal." Zhang Tan took the children out. There was not enough lunch and there was no food at home, so he planned to find a small restaurant in Huangjia Village.
"Xiaobai~~~ Where are you going?" Xiaomi shouted.
After leaving the gate, Xiaobai turned left and walked towards the intersection, while Zhang Tan and Xiaomi went to the right and went to the village.
Xiaobai was stunned, pointed his little finger at the intersection and opened his mouth to say something, but suddenly he stuck in his mouth and didn't say anything in the end.
She lowered her head and walked back slowly. Xiaomi took two steps forward, took the initiative to hold her little hand and asked, "Xiaobai, where are you going just now?"
Chapter completed!
