Chapter 35 Late Night
The fluorescent light from the screen illuminated the room. Sitting in front of the computer, Lin Zhou looked at the content on it and habitually reached out for a can of Coke.
This is a market research report made by Jiang Xiyue.
The little girl carefully analyzed the animation market in China and possible profit points, even down to the details of various peripheral profits.
Jiang Xiyue was obviously very concerned about the matter that was casually brought up.
This is a bit touching, what should I do?
You can't give yourself to me, right?
Linzhou patiently read the report and opened the Coke. Because it had just been shaken, bubbles immediately came out, but did not flow onto the table.
Linzhou spent fifteen minutes reading the five-page report. When he turned to the last page, he suddenly laughed .
The girl inserted her selfie into the document, with a sentence underneath the photo.
——Humph, considering my sincerity, shouldn’t you be grateful and pledge yourself to me?
Is this the little thought I talked about in the cafe today? The little thought of that girl is so simple.
As the saying goes, a woman’s heart is as elusive as the sea.
As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the advice of the elderly, you will suffer the consequences.
So in Linzhou's opinion, this thing was just something Jiang Xiyue used for fun. When he really asked, the little girl would definitely only have one sentence left.
Do you really want to pledge yourself to me? No one will take it seriously, right?
Although it is not good to speculate about people with malice, Linzhou will use the most evil thoughts when it comes to Jiang Xiyue.
It is normal for him to be small in stature and have a cocky personality.
Height is generally inversely proportional to temper, and breasts are generally directly proportional to temper...
It’s bad, let her explain it to Zhonghe.
Linzhou sat up straight, stood in front of the window with a Coke in his hand, looked at the bright neon lights in the city, and the boy's heart began to beat again.
"Fuck it, we're still young, we'll definitely figure it out."
Linzhou made up his mind, drank the Coke in his hand in one gulp and crushed the can.
Why bother with the "Zui Xu" show to attract attention? Just post a series of short videos, preferably ones that focus on the pain points of young people.
But what are the pain points of young people?
It’s nothing more than… a lack of identity, confusion about the future, and confusion about feelings.
Of course, some young people are special. When they are in high school, they are still suffering from the second-year syndrome, or the late stage of the second-year syndrome or the high-year syndrome.
Deny mainstream culture, deny your past immature self, and like niche things.
………
Linzhou's thoughts became clear, he took out his cell phone and made a video call to Jiang Xiyue.
The girl answered the call very slowly, and after a few seconds, a head with a bun appeared on the screen.
"Zhou Zhou, I'm taking a bath. Can we talk about anything tomorrow?"
"Listen while taking a bath." Linzhou certainly disagreed. Inspiration is something that may disappear when you go to the toilet.
The girl opposite was not angry about this, but was talking about something else.
"But...but if that's the case, can you promise not to do anything bad in front of the screen?"
"Damn, I'm not that kind of person. If I really were that, the one hour you held me in your arms while I slept last night was enough for me to do anything." Linzhou was a little desperate. This girl was always shy at times like this.
The girl on the screen was visibly stunned, and the camera was blocked, and the sound of water coming out of the speaker.
When she reappeared, Jiang Xiyue was already wrapped in a pink bath towel.
"Well, go ahead and tell me. I'll soak it later."
"Oh, so you like supernatural stories? I think our first work should be about the supernatural and suspense." Linzhou introduced his idea seriously.
The girl on the screen simply nodded and indicated that she should continue talking.
The hair is not wet, but the neck is very white, and the collarbone is also very white...
But it’s not pale, it’s white with a delicate rosy red, and it looks like you want to take a bite.
Not surprisingly, Linzhou was distracted.
The girl held her chin with her hand and stared at the screen for a long time before finally speaking thoughtfully.
"Zhou Zhou, does it look good?"
"It looks good. I want to try it... It's okay. Do you have any water for bathing? I'm a little thirsty..." Lin Zhou reacted and started joking immediately, although the joke was not very serious.
Jiang Xiyue was not angry, she just turned the camera around and spoke very gently.
"Okay, I'll save it for you. Remember to come and drink it tomorrow..."
"Stop it, be careful of mosquitoes breeding in there." Lin Zhou sat down beside his bed with a smile and began to change the subject, "Then I'll go write the script and storyboard now, you can take a bath, I won't disturb you, I think I want to make a Chinese horror movie."
………
The girl just nodded, then hovered her finger over the hang-up button, her tone gentle.
"Well, don't tell me the content. I'll be scared if I live alone. But good night Zhou Zhou, show it to me tomorrow."
The call was hung up. About ten seconds later, Jiang Xiyue sent a selfie with a sentence below.
[Xiao Xi: [Picture] If you like it, I will take a picture and show it to you. Please take your time to look at it~~~]
This is a photo of a girl wrapped in a bath towel, and she deliberately avoids angles that can show her height. She looks particularly cute and beautiful.
She was so beautiful that Linzhou had no intention of having any evil thoughts about her.
After complimenting him a few times, Linzhou sat back in front of the computer and started typing.
Once people have inspiration, they can't stop.
Although writing a horror story late at night is a bit scary, the creator himself cannot feel it.
What is Chinese horror? To put it simply, it is empathy and the ability to associate.
For example, in a wedding scene, there is a grand banquet, but the place should be full of guests but it is empty, the cups of white wine are filled with blood, the red character "囍" in the center of the hall flickers and turns into the character "寿", and the sound of a baby crying can be heard from the room.
Foreigners may not feel anything like this kind of scene, but if Chinese people see it, they will find it terrifying if they think about it carefully.
Especially when made into an animation, there is silence for a few seconds behind the baby's crying, and then the sound of suona soars into the sky.
Most people would be scared.
To sum it up, it’s about contrast and association…
Linzhou was thinking while his fingers were flying, and he finished the script of more than 2,000 words in just one hour.
The story is very simple, it is about a wedding and a funeral, the girl in the wedding sedan suddenly runs into the coffin, and then is taken to another place to get married.
After carefully checking for typos, Linzhou immediately sent the finished script to Jiang Xiyue.
The next step is to wait...
Waiting for the future art director to reply...
However, Jiang Xiyue responded very quickly and only made Linzhou wait for ten minutes before calling.
"Well, the story is good, and it's not difficult to express it with art..."
"Thank you. I'll just make some minor adjustments to the storyboard." Linzhou didn't hear the trembling in the girl's voice. He answered casually and was about to hang up.
Realizing this, Jiang Xiyue could no longer hold back and spoke in a crying voice.
"But, Zhou Zhou, if you have any conscience, bring the whole family bucket to see me. I'm going to be scared to death..."
