Chapter 106 "North Star's Necklace"
"How can the dessert made from this black stuff taste so delicious!"
At this moment, everyone in the Food Research Institute was staring at Yu Mian with wide eyes.
Last time, Yu Mian ran to the greenhouse and warehouse of the Food Research Institute to conduct a preliminary investigation, and as expected, he found a new ingredient, that is, the black vanilla pod.
"This is the golden spice, which is super delicious for making desserts. Although it is only one letter different from coriander, the uses and taste are completely different."
Yu Mian explained while gently scratching the vanilla pod in his hand with the tip of a knife, and then scraped it with the back of the knife, and as expected, the black vanilla seeds were scraped out.
"If you add this to ice cream, or any cream or jelly, it will taste super delicious."
"Even if you simply add it to sugar, you can make sugar with a vanilla flavor."
Yu Mian couldn't help but feel greedy just thinking about the many expensive cream cakes on Earth that are added with natural vanilla seeds.
After all, the taste of vanilla is a rare flavor that most people can't resist!
Even the simplest vanilla milk is something I love to drink.
After Yu Mian's excitement, the people at the Food Research Institute looked at the pure white ice cream mixed with some light vanilla seeds in their hands, and when they tentatively took a bite with a spoon and put it in their mouths, their taste buds were greatly amazed.
"This taste is really amazing! The sweet and rich taste is richer and more amazing than just the sweetness!"
Uncle Harrison was old, but he was strangely conquered by the taste of the vanilla cream ice cream on his tongue.
"Is it delicious?"
Yu Mian asked Huo Ting, who was also trying a bite with a small spoon.
This time, Huo Ting tasted it carefully, and nodded when he looked at Yu Mian who was observing him.
"It's really strange." It's
really different from coriander.
As for Huo Ting, he put down the vanilla cream ice cream in his hand, and when he looked up, he found that Yu Mian was still staring at him thoughtfully.
?
"Well, nothing."
Yu Mian was just thinking, if he gets the complete version of the friendship tester, and force-feeds Huo Ting a handful of coriander that he doesn't like, will this guy's crystal ball become dark?
And then feed it a vanilla dessert, will it light up again?
[Hey, our reward is not for you to play with... Be careful of accidents, there are additions and subtractions.] I
always feel that Yu Mian's way of using this small system is not right.
"My own reward, am I not studying its mechanism of action? Who asked you to give out rewards without knowing why?"
Yu Mian continued to ponder his plan, and was really curious about what he would see.
Huo Ting stared at Yu Mian in front of him, and inexplicably wanted to reach out and brush away the cream on Yu Mian's hair by her ear.
At the same time, in Light Years Film and Television Company, tens of thousands of script data were being collected.
The script collection within the industry this time has actually limited the scope of collection. Basically, only screenwriters who are more recognized by various companies in the industry can get the recommendation qualification to submit scripts.
But even so, the vast amount of data piled up together could not be tolerated.
"Director, these three scripts are highlighted. The previous works of these three screenwriters can be said to be quite good, and each has the key conditions for selection."
The paper backup handed over by the assistant at the side was also taken by Director Lin Ke.
"But to be honest, it's really hard to choose from these three scripts." They
are equally good and each has its own strengths.
Several of the screenwriters have backgrounds and resources, so it can be said that they all have their own reasons for choosing.
Lin Ke studied for a whole day, and finally took off his black-framed round glasses with great embarrassment.
"Maybe you can take a look at the other scripts? Xinggui also recommended a batch of scripts this year."
The assistant brought the second batch again.
"You can take a look at these first. If there are any particularly eye-catching ones, bring them over to have a look. If they are ordinary, don't look at them."
Director Lin Ke, the energetic old man, waved his hand and planned to take the three scripts with the key points in his hand to talk to the investors.
After all, one of them is said to be able to attract quite high sponsorship.
When the quality of the scripts is similar, it is difficult not to consider these off-site factors.
"Pah..."
Just as the old man ran out of the office with his short legs, a script suddenly fell off the table, and the assistant quickly bent over to pick it up.
However, the assistant couldn't take his eyes off it, because a stack of character setting drawings with concept sketches fell out of the script.
The first setting drawing was a very pretty girl, but the dress she wore gave people a refreshing feeling. The fluttering green skirt and the jingling hair bun were very attractive.
"Lichun?"
The second setting picture shows a young man with long hair and a subtle, handsome and melancholy look. The raindrop-shaped brooch shines brightly on the black dress, and the background is also in the shape of rain.
From gentle sisters, mirror twins, short-haired beautiful boys... all kinds of handsome men and beautiful women are available.
The assistant counted a total of 24 pictures. The settings of these 24 animated characters alone have definitely attracted the audience's attention. They are so exquisite that they can be collected.
The name of the script is "The Necklace of the North Star". What does this mean?
What is the relationship between these 24 characters and the necklace?
The assistant didn't even realize that he had turned so many pages and started reading the content of the script.
The story begins with a magical necklace. The 24 colored stones on the necklace represent the 24 solar terms.
However, due to the carelessness of the guardian beast Domi, the necklace was scattered into the universe, causing the four seasons on the blue planet to become chaotic and disordered, and people's lives also faced great difficulties.
"The solar terms and the four seasons are out of order? Isn't that turning into some special climate galaxy? What if it snows for several years in a row? It will be uncomfortable to go to work."
The assistant thought about it and felt uncomfortable. Can this thing be saved?
And this guardian beast is too unreliable! ?
Although the setting picture of this guardian beast dropped on the next page, the assistant was inexplicably attracted by it.
Oh my god, how can it be so white and furry! It
can even be put in a schoolbag?
Wait, how can the guardian beast in this setting picture appear in a schoolbag?
The assistant quickly turned the pages and found that the protagonist of the story was a 14-year-old girl named Beixing.
As a guardian beast, Domi came to the human world to try to retrieve the 24 colored stones, but Domi, whose power was restricted, was almost chased by the ferocious star beast in the sewage area on the first day and ran wildly for help.
A ball of white plush was also stained by sewage. Beixing happened to see it and drove the star beast away. He took it home, washed it, blew it dry, and placed it on the pillow.
This also became the starting point of the wonderful friendship between Domi and Beixing!
At Domi's request, Beixing agreed to help Domi find the 24 colored stones. Domi also handed Beixing the only "Lichun" necklace left and taught Beixing the power of solar term magic.
The first time he tried to activate the necklace at home, Beixing opened his eyes again and found that he was held by a mysterious girl named "Lichun" and fell to the ground from mid-air.
And he was wearing a super dreamy retro dress.
Lichun told Beixing that the second colored stone "Rainwater" was actually hiding in Beixing's school, which was why the weather near the school had been abnormal recently and rainy, and she was even forced to consider relocating. So
Beixing, accompanied by Lichun and Duomi, tried to use this magical power for the first time to find the second colored stone "Rainwater".
When the assistant read the first unit story in one breath, watching how Beixing, a girl with a lonely personality, with the help of her friends, used the magical power to solve the plight of her friends and catch the second "Rainwater" colored stone, she almost didn't notice the passage of time!
It was as if she had finished reading it in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, after taking back the second colored stone, the lost magic power of the necklace was gradually restored, and a mysterious solar term space appeared.
Each solar term has its own activity area, and the elemental symbols inside also echo the corresponding solar term, which is quite beautiful.
Even though the assistant has never read such a script before, he can imagine one thing strangely.
That is, after this script is really filmed and produced, the young audience will definitely be fascinated by this magical necklace and beg their parents to buy the same one, right?
Not to mention the solar term retro element dress with the flavor of the ancient blue star in the design drawing, which is so exquisite that it makes people feel dazzled.
There was a children's picture book "Falling Morning Star" before, which made my niece cry for a long time to buy the same princess dress as Isabel. This script is similar.
The assistant suddenly felt his wallet getting cold...
After these 24 sets of clothes came out, wouldn't those little ancestors cry and make a fuss and demand to collect all the sets? !
"No, this must be shown to the director!"
Even so, the assistant still realized the specialness of this script and ran out to find someone with the script.
In fact, since it was the first time to create a script, Yu Mian wanted to do his best in addition to designing the story, so after writing the whole story, he contacted An for help.
When An first learned that Mr. Yutangmian was actually trying to be a screenwriter, he was also surprised.
But when An read the general framework and plot points of the entire script, he was undoubtedly instantly attracted by this brand new and wonderful story.
The sense of novelty and surprise at the beginning of Mr. Yutangmian's new book every time I follow it, and the excitement every time I can't wait to turn the page, once again emerged in my heart.
Even though it is obvious that the main audience of this script is young children, even an adult like me will be attracted by the many wonderful ideas in it and finish reading it all without realizing it.
I even think that such a work is indeed suitable for children at home.
After all, in addition to the main plot of the protagonist Beixing collecting solar term colored stones, there are also many small stories about Beixing helping others and a lot of cultural knowledge about solar terms.
When the solar term partners with different personalities talked with Beixing, some of the sentences and allusions they said also let the knowledge penetrate into the audience's minds in an extremely wonderful way!
You know, a lot of ancient Blue Star knowledge is often considered too obscure even in school, and has been evaluated many times whether it should still be put in textbooks for children to learn.
But who would have thought that this knowledge could appear in such a fun and interesting form?
[An: Of course I am willing to help draw it and set it up! I am even a little excited. Let me think about when I can finish it for you...]
[Yu: But wait a minute, it's mainly about clothes, and there are some details I want to discuss with you in detail! ]
But An, who was about to pick up the brush and start creating quickly, was stopped by Yu Mian.
And some of the details and ideas that Yu Mian proposed next undoubtedly surprised An again.
Because the fish soup noodle teacher actually found a lot of ancient books on ancient Blue Star clothing and costumes, he summarized many elements in them, hoping to add them to the clothes of each solar term.
Yu Mian actually thought about letting the solar terms wear ancient costumes directly, but it seemed that if it was too intense at once, it might not be accepted quickly, so the final decision was to use ancient style elements.
For example, silk wide sleeves, silk ribbons, embroidered patterns, etc.
And An looked at the continuous messages sent on the optical computer, and his mood became more and more novel and interesting.
I always feel that if these clothes can be designed into real objects, I have the feeling of trying to wear them.
So under the communication between Yu Mian and An, this set of anthropomorphic concept drawings of the 24 solar terms were also rushed out overtime, stuffed into the script, and submitted by Xinggui.
As expected, the story of the script itself left a deep impression on every judge during the collective review.
"If I were to choose, I would choose "The Necklace of the North Star". Although the story framework is not complicated, the audience is very clear, and even as an adult, I find it very interesting to read it."
"Yes, yes, yes. If my daughter watched it, I would definitely watch it. Especially if the final animation can really reach this level, it will be a pleasure to watch this work from an aesthetic point of view."
After the initial screening of the entire script, this "Necklace of the North Star" was finally put together with the three highlighted scripts.
And it can be said that it stands out from the four scripts with a completely different style.
This story is so novel that it does not belong to the old system. Anyone who reads the content of the script has to admit that the story is too attractive.
"The only problem is that if we choose this newcomer's script, we may offend someone."
The old director Lin Ke stroked his beard, took off his felt hat, and looked at the other people on the scene in embarrassment.
The screenwriters of the other scripts were all big and arrogant screenwriters in the industry. They had outstanding achievements in several hot-blooded interstellar war films, and one of them even had a good relationship with investors.
If the other party knew that their script was defeated by a newcomer's script, it would be a bit difficult to deal with.
But how should I put it...
Director Lin Ke felt a sense of excitement when looking at this script, especially since the main theme of this collection was a work for children. Director
Lin Ke really felt that this book "The Necklace of the North Star" was more suitable for young audiences of this age group to appreciate.
In terms of content alone, this book "The Necklace of the North Star" is not thin in content with culture as the carrier.
The twenty solar terms of the ancient blue star were originally made according to the changes of the stars. The seven stars of the North Star rotate year after year. One cycle is called a "year", starting from the beginning of spring and ending at the Great Cold.
Looking back at all this from the perspective of the current interstellar era, isn't this a romantic and extremely cultural fantasy of the original people observing the vast universe?
"It has to be this script. I want to contact Xinggui in person to see who this screenwriter is."
Director Lin Ke took a look at the signature with only the word "Mian" and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Unexpectedly, after the contact, Chairman Campbell actually met Director Lin Ke directly and smiled knowingly: "How is it, are you interested in the scripts we recommended?"
"Why? Could this screenwriter be someone you know? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Director Lin Ke quickly realized that this "new screenwriter" might not have a simple background.
"It's not that I don't want to say it, but they are afraid that I will use my connections to force you to agree to choose this script."
Chairman Campbell responded with a smile.
Director Lin Ke then realized that this script was actually the work of "A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles".
"Mr. Fish Noodles said that if you are not selected, it will be changed into a story and serialized in a magazine. It doesn't matter."
"No, no, that won't work. I must have this script. I will shoot this one!"
Facing Campbell's ridicule, Director Lin Ke was undoubtedly reassured and almost locked the story in the safe at home.
As a director, how could he not have heard of those novels that were adapted from movies and TV shows and performed extremely well.
Not to mention the big movie "Eternal Night Rose" which was a huge hit in half of the Federation some time ago.
No matter how many resources or connections other screenwriters have, Director Lin Ke suddenly felt that they were not tempting at all.
The story of this fish noodle author can now be made into an animated work, and the effect is not inferior to those big directors' adaptations of film and television works.
Let them know that animated works are definitely not inferior, okay?
Yu Mian was also very surprised when he learned from Chairman Campbell that his script was indeed selected.
"This time, Director Lin Ke contacted me personally to ask me who this new editor is. There is definitely no shady operation."
Listening to Campbell's ridicule in the Star News, Yu Mian couldn't help laughing.
"But I still have to thank you for sharing the news, otherwise I probably wouldn't have thought of investing in a script."
"No need to bother, the two little guys at home are looking forward to it now."
Ever since the two little girls were brought by their father, Campbell, to see Yu Mian in person at the last event, they have definitely become die-hard Yu Mian readers.
They can't wait to pester their father, Campbell, every day to ask why they can't invite the fish soup noodle teacher to live at home for a while!
The look of longing for him made Campbell feel strange.
Teacher Yutangmian still used a few books to control these young readers, and then they, the parents, were also controlled...
It is conceivable that once the new animation work is completed and officially broadcast, how sensational the effect will be.
Fortunately, as a parent, I am not short of money, and I can always meet the requests made by the two little princesses at home.
"Is it settled?"
"Yes, it's settled. It's really selected. Huo Yan should see the new animation work in a while."
Facing Huo Ting's inquiry, Yu Mian also responded with a smile.
If the new payment is received, the choice of house will be more open.
"Do you really want to go with me? Ernis said he can help me look."
Although Yu Mian was a little embarrassed to take up Huo Ting's time to accompany her to look at houses.
Mainly because of the reward, she at least knew that Huo Ting didn't like to accompany her to look at houses, and he was a hypocrite.
"Is he very familiar with you?"
"Well, not familiar."
But it is true that Ernis is particularly friendly to her, and he knows this film very well.
When Yu Mian responded in a low voice, he found that the crystal ball was flashing again as if it was broken.
Okay, this system reward is also unreliable enough.
Moreover, with the hard work of Huanyu day and night during this period, the development of the game copyright of "God of Food" has also been put on the right track. After the continuous receipt of relevant information, countless book fans have also been very excited.
The game content will be to run the Taoyuan Tavern, grow Taoyuan Mountain ingredients, and collect delicacies and star beast illustrations.
It even combines the gradually expanding map library and plot lines in the book, and adds NPC interactive social links.
Click on the starship field on the Taoyuan Mountain map to go to other sub-maps, such as Zheng Duozhi, who had a good relationship with Lu Zhen on the main star. If the interaction favorability is high, you can also get various mission clues and gifts.
It is even said that you can unlock special emotional plot lines when the favorability is full!
And the new vanilla food plot has surprised countless readers as soon as it was launched.
Mainly because the semi-finished products made of vanilla as a spice, such as vanilla cream and vanilla ice cream, are quite convenient, so the Food Research Institute tried to sell semi-finished products directly for everyone to buy for the first time.
When Yu Mian was live broadcasting, he made more complicated snacks such as vanilla jelly and vanilla ice cream cake. As expected, after it was made, it became the most popular single product in the history of the "God of Food" series.
After all, among the tastes of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, sweet is relatively more universal than spicy.
Even the modified vanilla ice cream flavored nutritional liquid once topped the sales charts, but there was also news that some people drank too much and got cavities.
The Food Research Institute also urgently stated that although the vanilla flavored nutritional liquid tastes good, it is indeed not advisable to drink too much.
Although everything is happy, there is a group of people who are inexplicably frowning.
"First of all, I admit that the new book is really good, but isn't the update speed of our "Star Soldier King" a little too slow?"
"That's right, "Reborn Again" was obviously released later and it's finished, so why doesn't our "Reborn Star Soldier King" deserve it!?" "
Oh, don't worry, Mr. Yu Tangmian has worked very hard! He will definitely focus on updating us after he finishes writing "God of Food"!"
Although many book fans such as Dwarf Fox are also anxious, this part of the book fans think that everyone is quite considerate and understanding of Mr. Yu Tangmian.
As long as we are willing to wait quietly, it will definitely be our turn for "Reborn Star Soldier King" next spring!
