The brainstorming began. Xin Xiaoguang first glanced at Zhang Tan and saw that he was just looking down at his phone with no intention of speaking, so he spoke first, explaining the topic, and then let everyone talk freely, allowing sparks to come from the collision of ideas.
It is said to be a theme, but in fact it means there is no theme. Xin Xiaoguang just said that he would make a new comic. As for the theme and type of this new comic, there is no limit at all.
Xin Xiaoguang was the first to speak.
"Then let me throw some light on things. As for the subject matter of the new comics, I wonder if we can break through our previous limitations this time. Looking back on the comics we have finished and are currently working on, the audience is actually adults, at least 14 years old.
For teenagers over 20 years old, "Castle in the Sky" is, "Qin Shi Mingyue" is, "Insect Master" is even more so, not to mention "Swordsman's Life and Death", we have a gap in the field of younger children."
As soon as he finished speaking, some people subconsciously looked at Xiaobai and Xi'er, who were sitting in the corner eating raisins. Aren't these two young children?
The two younger children were whispering to each other, their little heads together, pinching raisins from Xi'er's hand and chewing them, showing no interest in the discussion outside.
They are just here to cheer me up and support me.
After Xin Xiaoguang finished speaking, someone said: "We do have gaps in comics for younger children, but younger children don't have the spending power, so the sales of comics may not increase. If the sales don't increase, the value will be greatly reduced."
Another person continued, "Consumption power is indeed a problem, and there are too many restrictions on comics for young children. If you are not careful, you may be cut off. Wasn't there news not long ago that the character in an online animation has blue hair?
, I was sued by my parents and actually won, how can I do this?"
Someone laughed and said: "Then don't have blue hair. Isn't black nice? The caricatures of us Orientals are made to look like Westerners. This trend is very bad! I'm not making excuses. This is actually the case.
The mentality of admiring foreign things and fawning over foreigners is at work.”
The person who spoke before was very unhappy after hearing this, and retorted: "Don't blame me randomly, why did you become a worshiper of foreigners? This has a historical heritage, and it didn't become like this all of a sudden. Consumers have such preferences, and we
As content creators, of course we must act in accordance with the laws of the market. If the market does not have such demand, why should we insist on creating content? We cannot put all the responsibility on the creators."
"I don't put all the responsibility on the creators, but I just remind us that there is no need to be opportunistic now. I even think that our Little Red Horse Comics Studio should be a leader of domestic comics and a creator of trends, not a surfer."
"That makes sense!"
"We can definitely give it a try."
"The ambition sounds great, but in reality it means making every comic well."
"I agree, but how to do it?"
"How to do it? The simplest way is to carry forward our traditional culture and draw nutrients from our long and splendid history and culture."
"Then we need to innovate."
"Do you want to do ancient times? Like "Qin Shi Mingyue"? In fact, I think we should focus on the future. We do not lack good stories derived from traditional culture, but we lack stories about fantasy about the future."
…
The discussion was very intense. Seeing that Zhang Tan had been listening and taking notes from time to time, Xin Xiaoguang asked him quietly: "Boss, tell me?"
Just when Zhang Tan was about to say yes, he saw Xiaobai get down from the chair and lead Xi'er quietly out along the wall. He happened to pass by his feet, so he turned around and asked, "Why are you going?"
"hiahiahiahia~~~~" Xi'er smiled shyly and said nothing.
Xiaobai was not so subtle and said directly: "Shhhhh~~"
Zhang Tan: "Ah?"
Didn't respond.
"Pee~"
Only then did Zhang Tan realize that Yang Xue beside him stood up and said with a smile: "Boss, I will take them there."
"Sorry to trouble you," Zhang Tan said, sitting down again.
Yang Xue went out with two children holding hands. When she looked down and saw their big bellies, she asked funnyly: "What is hidden in the belly? It's so bloated."
Xiaobai laughed and said that he had eaten a lot of rice.
Yang Xue stretched out her hand and touched it. Just as Xiaobai was about to shout something cutely, she saw that the hand that Yang Xue was touching her belly suddenly turned into a small bag of snacks.
"Look what I found out from your belly?"
Xiaobai and Xi'er were shocked. Xiaobai lowered his head and touched his belly, and Xi'er lifted up her clothes to check.
"Guawazi, where do you live?" Xiaobai pulled away Xi'er's little hands that were holding up her clothes, and put the clothes down to cover her belly, "Look at yourself."
Xi'er hiahia smiled, and sure enough, she lifted up her clothes and looked at her belly, but found nothing.
"Where did you change?" Xiaobai asked Yang Xue curiously.
Yang Xue smiled and said, "I'll take it out of your belly."
Xiaobai snorted, "You're lying to a three-year-old child!"
But Xi'er said: "Xiaobai, she really turned out delicious food."
Xiaobai glared at her, "You three-year-old idiot!"
Yang Xue smiled and said, "Don't you believe it? This is magic. Then I'll show it to you again. Whose belly can I borrow this time?"
Xiaobai glanced at Xi'er, who was both nervous and excited, and asked weakly: "Am I going to die?"
She was a little worried that Miss Yang Xue would make her disappear.
Yang Xue smiled and said: "No, it's not life-threatening. It's a very safe little magic."
Xi'er asked again: "Have you eaten the magic beans?"
Yang Xue said she had eaten it when she was Xi'er's age.
Xi'er immediately said "Wow" and believed it, even though Xiaobai kept reminding her not to believe these words to deceive a three-year-old child.
But Xi'er not only believed it all, but also persuaded Xiaobai that these were all true.
Yang Xue also touched her belly and took out a small bag of snacks. Xi'er looked at it with great surprise.
Although Xiaobai was suspicious, he couldn't find any loopholes.
"This came out of your belly, and now I give it back to you."
Yang Xue gave two packs of snacks to Xiaobai and Xi'er. They were hawthorn slices to promote digestion.
Xiaobai and Xi'er didn't recognize the words on the package and didn't know what it was. Xiaobai asked if it was a daddy.
She knows that what comes out of her belly is only daddy and nothing else! Don’t try to lie to her!
…
When the two little ones returned to the conference room, Zhang Tan stared at them, went out to pee, and came back to eat again!
Zhang Tan came back to his senses and continued: "Where did we talk about just now? Oh yes, telling new stories from traditional culture."
When Xiaobai heard what he was talking about, he paused and looked over intelligently.
Xi'er continued to kick her legs and eat hawthorn slices. This stuff was sour and sweet, which suited her appetite.
Zhang Tan: "You can find stories in the four major classics. For example, Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", can you take this character out and tell a separate story?"
Xin Xiaoguang immediately said: "Retelling the story of "Journey to the West" with Monkey King as the protagonist, everyone has a "Journey to the West" in their eyes."
Yang Xue immediately objected: "No matter how you tell the story of "Journey to the West," it is familiar to everyone and lacks new ideas and expectations."
Someone said: "Then let's tell the story of Sun Wukong alone and ignore this famous book."
"Would that cause resentment among readers? After all, it is a famous book. If the book is slightly dissatisfied with the changes, the emotions may be amplified."
"It is indeed a bit thankless. Just like TV series, remakes are generally difficult to say successful."
"Then jump out and write another story."
Zhang Tan said: "Just use the character Sun Wukong. Don't use the literary character in the setting. We can make the character more modern. For example, the setting is not in a fantasy world, but in modern times, but it is not ours."
This real world is a future world of high martial arts. Do you know what the world of high martial arts is?"
With Zhang Tan's step-by-step guidance, the framework of "Dragon Ball" in the previous life gradually formed...
