Chapter 986 The House of Ants, No Emperor Blade Tan (22)

PS: The chapter owed this month has been repaid.

Zhang Tan approached Xiaobai and Xi'er, and saw them feeding on ants, squatting on the ground with a concentrated expression, unaware of his approach.He originally wanted to call them back, but when he heard that they were having a heated discussion, their words were childish and cute, innocent, and he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he couldn't help but stop and listen.

"Wow! There are ants!" Xi'er said in surprise, carefully observing the ants' trajectory.They crawled along the edge of the garden, forming a long line, all the way from the edge of the bowl to the flowers in the garden.

"There are a lot of ants here." Xiaobai picked up a small wooden stick, gently pushed the flowers away, and saw more ants surrounding a rotten fruit. "I know. These must be worker ants. They are small and get up very quickly. They are busy carrying fruits and buns home."

"Move home!" Xi'er said, "Xiaobai, how do you know?"

"This is my strong point." Xiaobai boasted, and immediately added, "That's what it says in the picture book."

"That's what it says in the picture book." Xi'er agreed, and suggested, "Xiaobai, I have a good idea. Let's build a home for ants together."

So the two of them used small wooden sticks to clean up the place where the ants gathered, and picked up the decayed leaves and small stones, hoping that many, many ants could live here.

In order to attract more ants, they put the buns in their hands in the "Ant House".

"No." Xiaobai thought for a while and pointed to the edge of the flower bed, "This side is too steep, and the ants will fall when they come down!"

"Then what should I do?" Xi'er said Sichuan flavor.

"We're going to add a staircase here!" Xiaobai put the stick in his hand on the edge of the flower bed, found another leaf, and put it on the lower end of the stick, so that the ants could follow the stick when they came down from the edge of the flower bed.

"We have stairs." Xi'er said happily, and suddenly said, "Xiaobai Xiaobai, what if ants fall down the stairs? It's too dangerous."

Xiao Bai quickly thought of a new way, "Let's find another wooden stick and build it up, so that the stairs will be very wide and the ants will not fall down. Look!"

After a while, ants really crawled over the stick, dragging the bun crumbs, and gathered where there were fruits.

"The ants didn't fall!" Xi'er said happily, "Little Bai, the ants didn't fall!"

"Okay, let's find some leaves and hide this ant house, so as not to be dangerous if other small animals find it."

They surrounded the ant house with leaves, and finally built a "door" with wooden sticks.

The ant house was built and well hidden. The two of them could finally feel at ease, but they had trouble again and decided to find some fruits for the ants to eat. They seemed to like eating fruits.

"Xi'er, go to Li Baibai to ask for fruit, and I will protect this place." Xiao Bai quickly divided the work, Xi'er got up and ran to Lao Li to ask for fruit, suddenly turned around and saw Zhang Tan, he was stunned, hiahia Laughing, "Godfather! Look, we have found the house of ants."

Zhang Tan took them to find fruit.

In the studio, Xu Qizhe waited for a while and saw that Zhang Tan hadn't appeared. He went to the balcony to take a look, and saw him squatting by the flower bed by the roadside with Xiaobai and Xi'er, wondering what he was doing.

Xin Xiaoguang came over and said that Zhang Tan was building an ant house for Xiaobai and Xi'er, and he would have to wait a while before coming over.

Xu Qizhe was speechless for a while, and then seemed to understand that those artists in history have always maintained a strong innocence and curiosity. Perhaps Boss Zhang belongs to this category, otherwise he would not open such a late-night school.

Zhang Tan had been helping Xiao Bai and Xi'er take care of the Ant House before he came back, and Xiao Bai and Xi'er came with him.The two little ones were taken away by Yang Xiaoxue, eating snacks and reading picture books, and watching Xin Xiaoguang work so as not to be lazy.

There were only Zhang Tan and Xu Qizhe in the meeting room, and they were chatting about new projects, mainly because Zhang Tan was listening to Xu Qizhe's ideas.

He had a lot of ideas, but they were immature. If Zhang Tan hadn't asked him to talk about it, saying that it didn't matter, he would have been embarrassed to pour it out.

Zhang Tan listened patiently, interrupting the discussion from time to time.He noticed that Xu Qizhe had wavered in his own style, probably because of his performance in "The Insect Master".

"What about your persistence?" Zhang Tan asked suddenly.

"What?" Xu Qizhe was stunned by the question, as if he didn't understand.

Zhang Tan asked again: "What about your persistence? Isn't your style a hard-core violent aesthetic? Why do you want to change your style? The style of "The Insect Master" is the style of "The Insect Master", not yours, you Why change yourself and follow others."

Xu Qizhe seemed to be hit hard, he was speechless, he didn't know what to say.He pondered Zhang Tan's words carefully, as if what Zhang Tan said was right!He unknowingly wavered in his persistence. Was it because he valued grades too much?Or, jealousy towards Liu Xiangsheng?

"You're right. I unknowingly wavered in my persistence. Thank you for your vigilance." Xu Qizhe said.

Zhang Tan continued: "In the field of comics, when it comes to the aesthetics of violence, you say it's second, and no one dares to say it's number one! We should continue to dig deeper. As for the results, it may be very good, or it may be mediocre, but who knows, No matter what kind of results you achieve, you are walking a path that no one has traveled, I support you very much, and the studio will fully support you."

After hearing this, Xu Qizhe was moved and nodded firmly.

Immediately, the two continued to chat about new ideas for comics. Zhang Tan guided him and talked about many of his own ideas. Xu Qizhe was greatly inspired. Two days later, he wrote a script and handed it to Zhang Tan.

After Zhang Tan finished watching, he thought of an anime he had watched in his previous life called "The Story of the Abroad without the Emperor's Blade". The story is almost the same, but the concept is different.

"The Tale of the Abroad without the Emperor's Blade" is a big animation movie with a great reputation. It was once selected as the best feature-length animation at the Academy Awards.

The background of Xu Qizhe's story is set in the Tang Dynasty, when all nations came to the dynasty, all kinds of people gathered in China, and a splendid and colorful culture was born.A monk from the Tang Dynasty traveled east to Japan to preach scriptures, and brought an orphan from Japan to the Tang Empire.The orphan bears an astonishing secret. After being separated from the monk, he is alone and alone. He takes his pet dog to the Da'an Temple in Chang'an. On the way, he meets the mysterious swordsman "Wu Ming", who is actually a Japanese ronin.The orphan was hunted down, and Wuming saved his life in a critical moment, and the two have been walking together ever since.Although the eccentric ronin and the closed-hearted boy had bumps and bumps, they gradually became good friends.

The government's underground organization dispatched a hunting team, led by team leader Bai Luan, who captured the orphan and started preparing for some kind of ceremony.The life-and-death duel between Bai Luan and Wuming kicked off...

After Zhang Tan read this story, he suggested: "Compared to Wuming, the role of Bai Luan is a bit simple. Can we set it up like this, for example, Bai Luan is actually a top expert, but usually hides his strength in order to hide it in the In the underground organization, the real purpose of monitoring whether there is rebellion in the organization is to obtain the elixir for the emperor!"

"The orphan has a strange life experience. With his painstaking efforts to refine medicine, he can obtain the elixir of life. At the last moment, Bai Luan was shaken when faced with the temptation of the elixir of life, and wanted to take it for himself! He betrayed the emperor and obeyed himself. !"

Xu Qizhe nodded and said yes.

But Zhang Tan didn't finish, and continued: "You set the background of this story in the Tang Dynasty, but it didn't fully show the multiculturalism of the Tang Dynasty. My suggestion is to add another character. For example, this character is called Luo Lang. , he is blond and blue-eyed, and came to the Tang Empire with his Persian parents since he was a child. He was originally a member of the hunting team, and his martial arts skills are extremely high. A rival is the meaning of life. His encounter with Wuming is a fateful match."

Xu Qizhe asked: "A duel between three people?"

Zhang Tan: "Yes! The three of them don't swing their blades for any lord, Bai Luan does it for himself, Luo Lang does it for himself, Wuming does it for the orphan, or to atone for himself."

This is what "Wuhuang" means in "A Foreigner's No-Emperor Blade Tan".The foreigners refer to the identities of the protagonists. They all belong to foreigners, and their fateful wandering brings them together.

Zhang Tan also said: "We don't follow the trend of this comic, we concentrate on action movies, and give full play to your violent aesthetics. You don't have to think about what will happen to your grades. This is not what you think, but what I should think. Your whole body Just draw the style we want, what do you think?"

Xu Qizhe felt that a scholar died for a confidant, and nodded firmly: "Okay!"

Zhang Tan added: "Do you know any well-known martial arts instructors?"

Xu Qizhe was stunned for a moment, and said he didn't know him, "Why are you looking for this?"

Zhang Tan: "Of course it's training for you. You can't make up martial arts moves. If you don't know them, I'll find one for you. After the story is finished, you follow this martial arts instructor for ten days and a half months." , if necessary, it’s okay to ask him to join the production team.”

Xu Qizhe: "..."

Are you serious?He has been in the industry for many years, and he has only heard that martial arts instructors are hired for film and television works, but he has never heard of comics.

However, isn't this exactly what he wants!This kind of support and this kind of creative atmosphere made him tremble all over, and he couldn't wait! !
