Chapter 829 The Story of Looking for the Rainbow (22)

Xiaobai covered his little face and ran back to the bedroom to sleep happily. It started to rain lightly at night, and it was drizzling, which was very pleasant and made people sleep peacefully.

The next day, Zhang Tan sent Xiaobai to kindergarten. It was still raining lightly on the way there, but after sending Xiaobai to kindergarten, the rain finally stopped. The sun gradually appeared in the sky, and the clouds were illuminated as if they were transparent.

Zhang Tan originally planned to visit the set of "In the Name of the People", but thought he had left something at home, so he returned first and met Liu Xiangsheng pacing in the yard.

Liu Xiangsheng was wandering alone in the wet grove, looking worried. Zhang Tan stopped to watch, and Lao Li said that Liu Xiangsheng had been wandering around like this for almost half an hour.

"Are you heartbroken? You have a lot of experience and can comfort others."

Zhang Tan was about to nod, but was startled and said dissatisfied: "What do you mean I have more experience? How do I have more experience?"

Old Li laughed awkwardly and made a mistake.

What he actually meant was that Zhang Tan had a lot of experience in falling in love. Of course, if he had a lot of experience in falling in love, he would also have a lot of experience in falling out of love.

"Go and have a look, go and have a look." Lao Li urged.

"It's been half an hour, why don't you go? You have so much experience in life."

"I said it, but he shook his head and said nothing."

Zhang Tan stood aside for a while. When Liu Xiangsheng saw him, he took the initiative to come over and say hello.

"What's wrong? Are you worried?"

Liu Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Lao Li, and said with a smile: "I have something, but it's not personal, it's about the comics. I have a headache thinking about the plot."

Zhang Tan understands that comics are just like writing novels. There will always be times when inspiration gets stuck. No matter how hard you try, you can't come up with a good plot, and there are various problems.

"It's okay, just relax and put down your work first."

Liu Xiangsheng shook his head. He wanted to relax from work first and go on a trip for a few days. However, the comic series of "Chongshi" is now in full swing. It has reached the second half of the first season and is about to be completed. It is not suitable for this. Even if he goes out to relax sometimes, the editor of the magazine won't let him go. It would be nice if he doesn't press him for manuscripts every day.

There are several authors responsible for the comic "Chongshi", and Liu Xiangsheng is the main writer. As the plot progresses, it is really difficult to constantly innovate and come up with new ideas.

Zhang Tan originally wrote the comic script, but not every episode, but only the first ten episodes. All subsequent episodes were brainstormed by the studio's staff.

"Insect Master" is a unit drama, each episode has a plot, and the relationship between each other is not high. It means that each episode has to write a story. One or two episodes are fine, but three or four episodes will be difficult. Ten or twenty Collection is basically not something that can be completed by one person.

"Where is it stuck? Tell me." Zhang Tan did not rush to the set, but simply stayed and had a good chat with Liu Xiangsheng.

They moved the chairs out of Lao Li's room, sat down in the yard, put on the tea sets, and made tea.

The sun came out and shone on me. It was warm in spring. The air was fresh and comfortable after the rain. A rainbow hung in the sky.

Lao Li You sat over. It was rare for someone to drink tea with him, but he knew his responsibilities. He was only responsible for making and pouring tea, and basically did not participate in the discussion unless Zhang Tan and the others asked.

Liu Xiangsheng couldn't find inspiration. He didn't know what to tell the next story. He was searching for ideas, but he couldn't find any satisfactory ideas. He felt that he had been hollowed out.

Zhang Tan expressed his understanding, ""Insect Master" constructs a brand new world that has never been described in any work before, so we are creating history in every episode and building this world brick by brick. It’s really difficult, but there are actually many stories that can be told.”

Liu Xiangsheng listened carefully. Since the comic was serialized, many readers think that the stories in the first few episodes are the best. Although the subsequent episodes are also good, their standards have declined. The stories in the first few episodes were all written by Zhang Tan.

"Just like that rainbow." Zhang Tan pointed to the rainbow hanging in the sky, "Is it possible that the rainbow is actually made of a kind of insect? Have you ever seen a school of fish in the ocean? Maybe a rainbow is similar to a school of fish. exist."

Liu Xiangsheng's eyes flickered with auras, and he continued: "Insects hang on the horizon, and people are like rainbows. If you meet them, you will know they are there."

Zhang Tan smiled and said: "This sentence makes sense, so let's continue to think about it. This person is like a rainbow. Is it possible that the rainbow is also the kind that people have searched for for thousands of times and can only encounter it when they suddenly look back? For example, Some people have encountered it once, and they will never forget it once they see it. They will always look for this rainbow that is brilliant but rarely seen all their lives."

The light in Liu Xiangsheng's eyes was further lit up, and he followed Zhang Tan's words: "But because this kind of rainbow composed of insects is extremely rare, few people have seen it with their own eyes, so others don't believe what this person said, thinking that he has a good spirit. If you encounter the problem, you will know it. If you don’t encounter it, who would have thought that there is such beauty in the world.”

Zhang Tan nodded and said, "Yes, the protagonist was ridiculed and isolated by the people around him, which made him feel inferior, so he chose to escape under the pretext of looking for rainbows. But in fact, he knew that this might be a joy in vain, but he He left without hesitation, because this became his obsession, and the meaning of his life was to travel long distances to find the rainbow in his heart."

Liu Xiangsheng asked: "What about Zhang Yingu? He has been wandering all his life, and he will spend the rest of his life traveling long distances."

Because Zhang Yingu's constitution attracts insects, he cannot stay in one place for a long time, otherwise it will bring disaster to that place.

Zhang Tan said: "There is opposition and conflict. People who chase rainbows travel with clear goals, while Zhang Yingu comes with the breath of grass and trees and leaves with the whistling of the wind. He believes that the greatest gain from traveling is The journey itself, the harvest, knowledge and experience during the trip are often more meaningful than reaching the end point. Life is often like this, living aimlessly, not knowing what the end point of the road is and in what direction, what is important It’s what you gain from this journey and experience this long journey of life.”

Liu Xiangsheng's eyes brightened, "I understand!"

He got up and hurried to the studio. After walking a few steps, he suddenly thought of Zhang Tan and turned around and asked, "Is there more? What's next?"

There were others, but when Zhang Tan saw him like this, he obviously had an idea, so he shook his head and said, "No more, you can perfect the rest by yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Liu Xiangsheng left in a hurry, and Lao Li said, "Is he possessed by a demon?"

Zhang Tan picked up the full teacup and drank it all, "Everyone is always obsessed with something. For example, if you like to make tea and drink it all day long, you still enjoy it. In the eyes of Xiaobai Liuliu and the others, you are also obsessed with it. magic."

Lao Li laughed and said that in Xiao Bailiuliu's eyes he was not only possessed, but also about to become a spirit. Miss Zhao was even more concerned about the day he would spin silk and make a cocoon.

Zhang Tan and Lao Li chatted for a while, then got up and went to the set.

"Old Li, I'd like to ask you one thing. Chat with Teacher Jiang more often when you have nothing to do. She is not familiar with the place here, and it's quite boring to be alone."

Lao Li: "Don't worry, I'll take her to square dance another day."

Zhang Tan: "..."
