Poverty story after Tokyo actress

"Did you not take your names?"

"Oh, it's so difficult to choose a name... I don't have a clue."

"If you don't have a good name, you won't be able to attract readers." Jiang Bai suggested to Caihua, and then opened the bound manuscript to watch the comics created by the two children together.

On the other side, Zhenqin, who was helping Liuli change clothes downstairs, was asking him mysteriously at the moment: "That... Auntie, do you know what Jiang Bai liked before?"

What does Jiang Bai like?Liuli was taken aback. If it was before, she might be able to blurt out her daughter's favorite thing, but now she already knows that there is another soul in her daughter's body. This... is really difficult for Liuli.

"Jiang Bai likes it... um... why did you ask this, Zhenqin?" Liuli, who didn't know how to answer, chose to ask back directly.

"Um... Aunt, don't you know? Jiang Bai's birthday is coming in two weeks... I want to give her a little surprise on her birthday, but I really don't know what she likes. clear……"

Zhenqin replied to Liuli in distress, she has been thinking about what surprise Jiang Bai should prepare for her birthday these days, but she still has no idea after thinking about it for a week.

Because Jiang Bai really does not have any desire to consume, as she said, except for Jiang Bai's exceptional gift of a pair of earrings, she has never seen Jiang Bai show any other things. Pursue the desire to take.

Could it be that on his birthday, he gave Jiang Bai a necklace in return?That's too uninspiring, Jiang Bai can think of sending earrings from his pierced ears, but he can't think of what he can give Jiang Bai at all.

There is really no other way, so I can only ask Miyano Liuli for help. As Jiang Bai's mother, Liuli's words should have a lot of reference value.

However, it's a pity that Liuli doesn't know what Jiang Bai likes now, and when he heard Zhenqin's words, Liuli was also confused, what?Is it coming to Jiang Bai's birthday?I do not know how?Isn't my daughter's birthday in March?

But in an instant, Liuli thought that her daughter's soul had been changed, so the birthday Zhenqin mentioned might not be her daughter's birthday, but the new Jiang Bai's birthday.

It turns out that Jiang Bai's birthday is coming so soon?Yay, I have to prepare too.But I have to deal with Makoto first.

Liuli thought for a while, and then said to Zhenqin: "Well~ I think Zhenqin, you don't need to ask Jiang Bai what he likes at all. If you really prepare something that Jiang Bai likes, although Jiang Bai will be very happy, but it is completely Can't meet the requirements of surprise."

"I really want to surprise Jiang Bai. I think you can think about what you are good at, and then prepare a special gift for Jiang Bai." Liuli said to Zhenqin with a haha, there is no way, Zhenqin, aunt I don't know what Jiang Bai likes.

"Eh? Is that so?" Liuli's words stunned Zhenqin for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

It seems to be right, I just think about preparing Jiang Bai's favorite things as gifts, but it seems that it is really unnecessary, and it is the same if it is not Jiang Bai's favorite things.For example, Jiang Bai gave him earrings, and he didn't like earrings, but he felt very pleasantly surprised.

Immediately, Zhenqin felt as if her thoughts were clearing the clouds and seeing the sun, she suddenly realized, she realized it!

"Oh~ Auntie's words really made me see the light of the clouds, and I suddenly understood! I understand!"

Ah... do you really understand?Liuli became confused again, she just wanted to deal with it, but she didn't expect Zhenqin to really believe it... Actually, I just wanted to ask Zhenqin what Jiang Bai likes now...

Just when Zhenqin Maosai suddenly opened up, Jiang Bai also read the short manga on the other side of the building. How should I put it... I looked a little tired.

It's not that it's ugly, the plot is well written, it's about the pure love between boys and girls, it's very fresh and pure love, even looking at Jiang Bai, I can't help showing my aunt's smile.

But one thing... there are too many narrations and lines!

Kujo is obviously still immature, and I don’t know why, he likes to add a lot of narration to describe the emotions of the characters on the screen. After reading the whole manga, Jiang Bai feels that what he is reading is not a manga, but a novel with pictures!

This is the most fatal shortcoming of the entire manga. Kujo is a good screenwriter, who can write stories and design lines... However, he has a big problem, he can't use pictures to tell stories.

If Ayaka's problem is that he relies too much on screen performance and has short plot writing, then Kujo is just the opposite. His screenwriting ability is very strong, but he ignores that many contents can be expressed by screen.

So much so that in the original comics, all kinds of dialogues, lines, and narration are piled up together, which looks dense and very tiring to read.

"Hey..." After reading the manga, Jiang Bai sighed and rubbed his eyes. This is still the first draft, and it is made of A4 paper. What is torture.

"Sister...isn't it good-looking?" Seeing that Jiang Bai's face was not very good-looking, Caihua couldn't help but feel suspenseful.Jiutiao on one side was also uneasy. He was very confident in the plot he had written, but seeing Jiang Bai's expression after reading it, that confidence disappeared in an instant.

"It's not ugly, it's beautiful, the story is well written, I can't help laughing just watching it... just..."

"What is it?" The two children asked together.

"It's just that there are too many words...Look at Feiyan."

"Ah?" This made Jiu Tiao's face stunned, there were too many words... it was hard to see... this seemed to be his own problem...

"Kujo, haven't you studied screenwriting systematically before?"

"Ah, yes, no..."

"Hmm... It's understandable to say this. Your plot is well written, but you rely too much on words in processing. I think you don't actually have much exposure to comics, do you?"

"Ah... yes, I... I was just pulled in by Miyano a few weeks ago..." Jiutiao responded with a guilty conscience, which made Jiang Bai understand Jiutiao's situation.

Obviously, Kujo has excellent writing skills, but he doesn't know much about the logic of comics. Although comics say that lines are an important part, in many cases, it is very similar to movies, relying on pictures to express the plot.

Kujo's problem now is that he is following the habit of writing literary novels to deal with the plot of the manga. This feels like a drama, but there are a lot of documentary narrations to explain the behavior of the characters, redundant, cumbersome, and completely absent. necessary.

Therefore, Jiang Bai began to explain to Jiutiao about the relationship between the picture and the plot.

"Many of these narrations are unnecessary. For example, in this short section, the male protagonist and the female protagonist look at each other on the bridge and prepare to confess: the protagonist looks at the female protagonist, his heart is surging, and he has all kinds of thoughts to say. This is what you give The narration added to this picture, your idea is to directly write the protagonist’s psychology.”

"However, in many cases, comics do not use words to express the emotions of characters, but use pictures to express them. You also know that good articles use scenes to express the emotions of characters. The same is true for comics."

"I came and I designed it like this. For this point, the narration is deleted, the storyboard of the two people looking at each other is left, and then a close-up of the male lead's flustered eyes is added below.

"Then how do you express the inner tension of the male protagonist? Add a storyboard of biting his lip, or a storyboard of his hand grabbing the railing of the bridge, no lines, no narration, purely rely on the picture to express.

"Or to be more artistic, we don't need to express the hero's expression and behavior. Aren't the two on the bridge? The river under the bridge is rushing and turbulent. We can use the storyboard of the river to express the mood of the hero."

"You see, I can design it like this. First, give a close-up of the male protagonist's eyes, and then split the mirror into the turbulent vortex of the river. It rushes here and rotates, implying the surging heart of the male protagonist."

"The storyboards of the river and the eyes are interspersed with each other, about three times back and forth, and finally the male protagonist decides to confess, how to show the courage to take the first step? We design that there are fish in the river, and then this fish emerges from the rushing river. Leap out!"

"Swipe~splashes of water blooming! The sun shines on the splashes of water, sparkling. The perspective of this split mirror extends from bottom to top. The close-up is the fish. Looking up, it can wrap the picture of the hero and heroine standing by the bridge. The upper corner is the brilliant sunshine."

"Now it's time to look at you, Caihua. This scene must be absolutely beautiful! Then we'll have the hero confess in the next scene..."

Jiang Bai showed his soul painting skills on the blank manga manuscript, it can't be said to be lifelike, it can also be said to be a ghost drawing peach charms, but the ideas Jiang Bai said, both children can understand.

For a while, they imagined the picture according to Jiang Bai's thinking, and Caihua suddenly felt itchy. This split-mirror design is really awesome!I can't help but want to draw it!

And Jiu Tiao's eyes widened, thinking about Jiang Bai's design of the scene, and suddenly, he felt that he had opened the door to a new world, as if he had seen the sun through the clouds, and suddenly opened up!He... got it!

Chapter 95 Toshi Kon

"Wow, sister, I haven't seen it before, I didn't expect you to have such a powerful talent..."

"Huh~ Your sister is your sister after all, I have a lot of talent, so show me some respect in the future." Jiang Bai pinched Caihua's cheek and ordered her.

"Umm... Wakata... Mmmmmmmmm..."

"Do you use the picture to process the plot? I understand...Miss Miyano, Arigado! Help me name the mistake and the direction!" Under Jiang Bai's guidance, Jiutiao thanked Jiang Bai solemnly.

Looking at Jiu Tiao's solemn appearance, Jiang Bai waved his hand awkwardly and said: "Oh, don't be so solemn, it's just an ordinary discussion. With your talent, you only need to make up a few more plots in this way and you will have your own I understand. Even if I don't teach you, you will know in the future."

"Well... But it is a great favor to be able to be pointed in the direction by the senior and avoid detours."

"Eh... whatever you say is what you say." Jiang Bai looked helplessly at this serious boy, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.

On the other side, Caihua picked up a few mirrors drawn by Jiang Bai with her soul painting skills. Although Jiang Bai's ideas are very good, her painting skills are not enough to support her beautiful imagination. The chaotic lines of a draft look chaotic.

"Ah... Although you have a good idea, old lady, your drawing skills really need to be improved..."

"Hey, I don't do this. Why are you so demanding of me? You just need to understand it. Draw well. I'm looking forward to your final product."

"Ah... the final product... these proposals of yours, old lady, are basically asking us to re-read the entire manga... oh, but, in order to stand out at the comic show, we have to fight!"

Jiang Bai's proposals shortened the progress of the entire comic in an instant, and then there may be a long period of deletions and additions.But Caihua didn't have many complaints, after all, she had already decided to take this path, so there was no room for regret.

With Jiang Bai's suggestion, the two elementary schools also found the direction of correction and began to design intensively.

Jiu Tiao's screenwriting talent is indeed extraordinary. After Jiang Bai's demonstration, he immediately made inferences and began to make changes in some places, and also designed the storyboard himself, and Cai Hua quickly drew the line draft according to Jiu Tiao's draft.

The two young people worked hard for their love, and there was no need for Jiang Bai to continue mixing, so he got up and wanted to leave the room, but just before leaving, Caihua suddenly asked: "Hey, sister, there will be a girl in Akihabara in two weeks. Comic exhibition, Kujo and I are going to take the comics to the exhibition, can you go with us then?"

"Huh? Comic show? Two weeks later...it's ok." Two weeks later, the work of my Conan crew is almost done, and I just have time to go to the comic show with my younger brother.

"Okay~"

Helping the two children close the bedroom door, Jiang Bai went back downstairs, seeing Zhenqin and his mother talking happily, Jiang Bai didn't bother, but went to the kitchen to have a look, let's make a good meal tonight.

If someone really asks Jiang Bai what he likes, then Jiang Bai will most likely say that he likes cooking besides acting. She likes the smoke and fire when cooking, and likes the joy of making delicious food to the taste buds. I like to see the love and praise from others tasting the dishes I made.

Looking at the ingredients left in the refrigerator, Jiang Bai has already thought about what delicious food can be made with these ingredients tonight in his mind.

"Huh? What's the matter, Mom?"

"Let's chat for a while~ Every time you come to the house and can't stay for a day, you leave. You go back before you have a good communication, so let's chat with each other~"

"Ah, okay, Mom, do you want to ask me anything?"

"Well...Speaking of it, I know very well what my daughter likes, but until now, I still don't know what Jiang Bai you like. You see, you always bring so many things home these few times, but I I don’t know what you need yet, tell me if you like anything~”

"I like it?" Jiang Bai basically understood what Liuli wanted to ask, just wanted to ask what animation he liked, and wanted to buy some gifts for himself, which was also the normal thinking of the elders.

"If I like it... Well, I personally don't have any requirements for life... After all, I'm busy with work now, and I can't enjoy these things..."

"Eh? Are you so busy? Jiang Bai, didn't you say that being an actor is very busy?" Hearing that Jiang Bai actually said that he was very busy, Liuli couldn't help but look surprised. Could Jiang Bai be too tired?

"Oh, this is also a coincidence. Recently, I was filming in the Conan crew, but the original director had conflicts with the screenwriter and broke away from the crew. I stepped up and became a director. After becoming a director, I Much busier than an actor..."

Jiang Bai was slightly moved, but immediately she said with a very happy face: "However, although I am busy, I am very happy. After all, I have always had the idea of ​​​​being a director in my previous life. Although I didn't do it at the time, I have arrived. It’s a pleasure to be able to realize a dream here.”

Seeing that Jiang Bai seemed really happy, Liuli stopped worrying. She wanted Jiang Bai not to be so tired before, and it would be good to take a break, but it seemed that Jiang Bai didn't care about it.

Alas, parents are like this. When their children are free, they feel worried that they are not working hard enough. Once they are busy, they feel worried that they are too tired.

"Really, that's fine, Conan, I didn't expect Jiang Bai to be able to enter such a powerful crew, and he can also be a director, Si Guoyi, I remember when I was in college, Conan just started broadcasting, and it was also popular For a while, I don't pay so much attention now, since Jiang Bai is coming to direct, then I must watch it."

"Well, I will definitely satisfy you, Mom." Jiang Bai smiled slightly and promised Liuli.

The playback speed of the Conan series is much faster than the slow work of the Chainsaw Man. The progress of the filming of the Chainsaw Man so far may be about half of the time. Maybe the reshoots that Fujimoto said will have to wait another month. .

As for Conan, after filming this episode, cut a trailer, put it at the end of the latest episode, and then wait another week before it can be played.

The gap between the completion of filming and the broadcast is no more than two weeks. Speaking of it, it seems that tonight is the latest episode of Conan. I don’t know what the editing department will cut the trailer. For a while, Jiang Bai still has a little expectation .

"Ah, I have said so much, Jiang Bai, you haven't said what you like! Well, you like to change the subject, so tell your mother more or less, at least when you come back next time, I can prepare something for you What."

"Ah... this..." It's really not my fault, I'm just thinking about it...Jiang Bai muttered inwardly, he really didn't change the subject on purpose.

However, what do you like... This question really makes it difficult for Jiang Bai to answer.

Yes, she does have things she likes. She likes acting, cooking, and having a family. However, these things are not something that people can give or prepare. , Jiang Bai's desire has been very low.

I really want to say that I have something I particularly like, that I can buy, that I can give as a gift... After thinking about it, Jiang Bai finally only thought of books.But books, it seems to be quite difficult for Liuli to tell her. She is obviously not a literary girl. If you tell her that she likes to read books, she may end up buying some inexplicable things that she doesn't know where she got them.

"Oh...Mom, you're really embarrassing me..."

"What's so difficult? How can a person not even know what he likes?"

"What I like is not the kind of real things that can be given away. I like acting, watching movies, and cooking for you, but these are not prepared by you, mom. As for those real things that I like to spend money, I really like them. I don't know what I like..."

"Well... well..." Seeing that Jiang Bai doesn't seem like a lie, Liuli can only give up and continue to ask herself. It seems that she has to find something she is good at to prepare for Jiang Bai's birthday as she thinks. What about gifts...

In the evening, the family sat at the table to eat, but the atmosphere was not lively, and even Caihua, who had always been happy, did not speak and silently ate the meal.

Because they all have their own concerns, Caihua still misses her comics in her heart, and thinks about how to continue drawing manuscripts when she returns to her room, while Liuli is still worrying about what she should prepare as a gift for Jiang Bai's birthday.

As for Makoto... Makoto's expression was quite bright, as if she had thought of something very good.After being enlightened by Liuli, Zhenqin thought about what she could prepare for Jiang Bai. After thinking about it all afternoon, a plan came into being in her mind.

At night, the two of them will spend the night at the Miyano family again. Although the bedroom in the small bungalow of the Miyano family is not as spacious and tidy as Makoto's own big villa, Makoto still likes the worldliness and fireworks brought by the compactness. .

"Jiang Bai, do you like listening to music?" Zhenqin asked Jiang Bai intentionally or unintentionally while listening to music with headphones while flipping through some popular romance novels taken out of Jiang Bai's bedroom bookshelf.

"music?"

Jiang Bai frowned. Jiang Bai still likes listening to music. However, she felt that she didn't have the capital to enter the pit, so she didn't pay much attention to music until now.

As for why there is no capital, it is because listening to music is really a costly thing.There is a saying among the music lovers that Jiang Bai came into contact with in the previous life: "Tens of thousands of people listen to music, thousands of people listen to music, hundreds of people listen to music, and dozens of people listen to music." Note that this is soft sister currency, not Japanese yen. Hyperinflation stuff.

Although somewhat exaggerated, it truly describes the consumption level of music lovers and the corresponding enjoyment.As far as Jiang Bai's previous life was concerned, although he was not rich at that time, he still had spare money, so he could spend thousands of dollars to listen to a sound.

But now, Jiang Bai, who is heavily in debt, doesn't have the financial resources to enjoy music, and he can listen to it for dozens of times.Although poor, Jiang Bai still likes music very much, and occasionally asks Zhenqin to borrow headphones or something to listen to.

I have to say that Zhenqin's earphones are really good, and the sound quality really makes Jiang Bai envious, but the price is naturally not what Jiang Bai can touch.

"I like music, but I don't have the heart to enjoy it now. When the debt is almost paid off, I can try to enjoy it." Jiang Bai straightened the bed and said to Zhenqin.

"Then, do you want to go to a concert with me?"

"Concert? Whose?"

"Hey, I won't tell you~"

"Huh? Is this still a secret?"

"Hmmmm~"

"Okay, you invite me to go naturally, when?"

"Well, in two weeks."
