Chapter 117 "Meteor Shower"
Chapter 117 "Meteor Shower"
After writing down the main features of several animations, Lu Ran then drew an image for each animal, imitating the characters from the animations of his previous life.
Fortunately, Lu Ran had a lot of points in the system before, and he exchanged all the entertainment-related skills to the master level, so drawing a few cartoon characters was a piece of cake.
The design of the rabbit on the screen has been finalized.
Red scarf, old military cap, clean eyes.
He created a new document and began sketching out the plot outline.
First, the first episode begins with the year the People's Republic of China was founded.
A group of rabbits gathered in a dilapidated cave dwelling, and a map covered the entire worn-out table.
One rabbit held up a small notebook, and another leaned over to look; the gunfire outside the window illuminated their faces.
The next episode shifts to a snowy, icy landscape.
The rabbits lay prone in the snowdrifts, their guns pointed forward.
The cotton-padded coat was torn, and the wound froze.
A rabbit took out half a cookie, broke it in half, and handed it to its comrade.
Lu Ran used a comic strip-like format to first draw out the main plot.
Because of his master-level painting skills, he is extremely efficient.
In the later part of the story, the rabbits build tractors and research rockets.
As Lu Ran's storyline unfolds, time also progresses in the animation.
The rabbits' clothes went from patched-up to neat uniforms, and their tools changed from hoes to precision instruments.
The last page shows a modern metropolis with towering buildings and bustling traffic.
An older rabbit stood before the monument, surrounded by younger rabbits. He pointed into the distance, and the younger rabbits looked in that direction.
Lu Ran stopped drawing at this point.
At this point, the first part of "Those Years, Those Rabbits, Those Things" was completed.
As for the remaining content, Lu Ran plans to save it for the next installment.
Because of this anime, getting it from Lu Ran is bound to generate a good response.
I also want to save up for future content to maximize the influence of this anime.
Especially now, Lu Ran has felt that the world has been severely invaded by foreign cultures, and it is time to build up national self-confidence.
After saving the completed script, Lu Ran shut down his computer and glanced at the time; it was already 1 a.m.
This was also the first time in his life that he had voluntarily worked overtime until so late.
But for him in his past life, this time was considered the last shift of the day.
...
The next morning, Li Mo sent him a message, but it wasn't about the anime. Instead, it was about how "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" had achieved another breakthrough in data, surpassing 200 million views in a single day.
Lu Ran responded with a thumbs-up emoji, showing great interest in the response.
Lu Ran opened his phone and idly scrolled through the news.
He discovered that almost all the recent trending news stories were inextricably linked to him:
A shining example of martial arts! The Legend of Condor Heroes broke the epic mark of 2 million views in a single day yesterday.
Shocking! The mysterious producer, Tomorrow, is actually him!
With numerous hit songs emerging from "The Voice of China," who is the most promising diva: Shen Yuege or Liu Siqi?
Tomorrow vs. Lu Ran! A video that will give you a systematic comparison of their specific strengths.
Several earthquakes have recently struck Japan, causing numerous casualties.
The Japanese "celebrity" brown bear, "Kuang Baobao," recently attacked several villages, causing losses of nearly ten million Japanese yen.
...
Okay, Lu Ran takes back his previous opinion.
This news indicates that he and Japan are evenly matched.
He randomly clicked on a few news articles about himself and found that most of them were clickbait headlines.
For example, the article that claims to know who Lu Ran is goes in and talks about the same thing over and over again, but in the end, there isn't a single reliable guess.
Just as Lu Ran was about to turn off her phone, Tan Yu suddenly called.
Since Tan Yu took over the filming of "Meteor Garden" on his own, Lu Ran has actually not been in contact with Tan Yu for a long time.
At this point, if Tan Yu is calling, it's either because he has something to say or he has good news to report.
"Brother Lu." Tan Yu's voice on the other end of the phone sounded tired, but you could also hear the energy in his tone. "The first few episodes of 'Meteor Garden' have been edited out. Do you want to take a look?"
"Send it over." Lu Ran was also quite bored, so it would be good to see Tan Yu's shooting results.
"By the way, Manxue's song has recently seen a surge in popularity, and it's already among the top songs on the new song chart," Tan Yu said excitedly while posting a video.
"I know that, congratulations." Lu Ran didn't take credit, but he believed that Xu Manxue was a smart girl and should understand Shen Yuege's intention in helping her promote the product.
"Also, our 'Meteor Garden' is missing a theme song and an ending song. Brother Lu, do you have time recently? If you don't have time, I'll publicly solicit songs online."
Although Tan Yu didn't know what Lu Ran was doing on his business trip, he thought it best to avoid troubling Lu Ran if possible.
"You're free, right? You're missing two songs, right? I'll send them to you tonight, so the four of you can practice singing them together."
Now that we have the TV series, how can we forget its wildly popular theme song?
Upon hearing Lu Ran mention the four people, Tan Yu didn't seem very happy; instead, he appeared somewhat embarrassed.
"Um, Brother Lu... I have another favor to ask." Tan Yu's voice suddenly became a little stuttering.
Lu Ran felt that it must be related to Xu Manxue.
"Say it, what is it? Be straightforward, don't stammer like a girl," Lu Ran teased.
"It's about the songs. Could you add some duet parts for Xu Manxue as well?" Seemingly afraid that Lu Ran would misunderstand, Tan Yu quickly explained, "It's not my private message, but I think that since our drama is a campus romance, having a duet between the male and female leads would enhance the effect."
After Tan Yu finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the phone.
"Brother Lu, if it's too difficult, then forget it. The four of us can sing it together." Seemingly feeling that Lu Ran might find it hard to refuse, Tan Yu spoke first.
"Great idea! Let's do it your way." Lu Ran wasn't struggling with the idea; he just felt that what Tan Yu said made a lot of sense, and he happened to have a song that would be perfect for Xu Manxue and their Star F4 to sing together.
Most importantly, he felt that Tan Yu had his own understanding of the songs in this drama. Although there were inevitably some personal biases involved, his perspective on the work was even more valuable.
Lu Ran thought that given time, Tan Yu, this former playboy, might actually grow into a great director.
"Okay, I'll write it now and send it to you when I'm done," Lu Ran replied directly.
"Oh, okay, so fast? Actually, it's not that urgent." Tan Yu was also taken aback by Lu Ran's decisive manner.
Lu Ran didn't explain further and hung up the phone.
The two songs formed directly in his mind.
And this first song is the theme song of "Meteor Garden".
Meteor Shower.
