Lu Zhixing and Li Rushan were sitting in the business car, while Qin Shang drove the car, preparing to visit the site that had been initially inspected yesterday.
As an assistant, Qin Shang's personal ability is still very good. He immediately followed Lu Zhixing's request and found several suitable locations around Jinghai City for filming.
Today Lu Zhixing is going to make the final decision.
However, the places I want to go to this time are relatively far apart. Only two or three places are in Jinghai City. The rest are basically in the suburbs or even outer suburbs of Jinghai. There are also two places in small counties far away from Jinghai.
So it’s good to be able to do all the shopping in one day today.
Being bored while driving, Li Rushan took out a few photos and handed them to Lu Zhixing.
"Mr. Lu, these are the actors I selected based on the requirements you gave me before.
"Do you think it's suitable?"
As he spoke, he showed the photo to Lu Zhixing.
"This is Zhao Huaien. He has practiced boxing and some boxing routines in Chinese martial arts. He has also participated in amateur boxing matches and achieved good results. He is also a veteran supporting actor in Kung Fu movies.
"According to your setting, the first character played by the player is a strong muscular man who is good at boxing. This should fit the bill, right?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Well, not bad, the temperament is very close to what I imagined."
Li Rushan was very happy and continued to show the next photo: "This is called Tan Zili. Although he looks gentle and tall, he is a serious descendant of Twelve Road Tan Leg.
"There is something real about his leg skills. Many martial arts actors who have fought with him say that his legs are powerful and heavy. If it comes to actual combat, he is definitely not weak."
Lu Zhixing nodded again: "Hmm? This is not bad. Mr. Li, you are very discerning."
Li Rushan laughed: "Oh, Mr. Lu, you made a good request. I checked it and found it right away. Oh, keep going."
He changed another photo, this time of a middle-aged man with a very ferocious face: "This, Fang Tailai, has great finger skills. He is good at grappling, eagle claw technique and other techniques. You
Look at these arms, they are almost as thick as ordinary people's thighs.
"This is the last one, Feng Qinghui. Mr. Feng is also a master of Chinese martial arts, especially good at swordsmanship. However, I can't guarantee whether he can be invited. It depends on whether he is available."
Lu Zhixing took the four photos and looked at them one by one a few times: "Well, not bad, these four actors can be preliminarily finalized."
He had not thought of the names of these four characters before, but only provided Li Rushan with corresponding characteristics and asked him to find them among actors who are currently not well-known in China.
These four characters are, of course, the four decent characters that players have to play.
They are good at boxing, kicking, grappling and weapons respectively. In terms of image, their general characteristics are simply mentioned, which are: strong muscles, tall stature, ferocious appearance, and immortal spirit.
These characteristics are all based on the martial arts they are good at.
Li Rushan searched based on his martial arts skills and characteristics, and found a suitable actor.
There is also an implicit condition, which is that these four actors must not be big-name stars. At most, they have served as supporting roles in some martial arts movies, and they must be embarrassed by the drama.
Li Rushan also agreed with this condition with both hands.
Although it is more expensive to find big-name stars, and even an actor's salary can give Huo Huo more than 10 million, but the reputation is also higher, and it is easier to become popular!
Finding these relatively unknown actors can ensure that the early popularity of the game will not be too high.
Of course, Li Rushan also subconsciously controls the production funds. After all, he can only contribute 14 million, and the rest has to be paid by himself. If the extra money is too much, Li Rushan will have a feeling of "You don't spend my money."
I feel like I’ve lost a lot of money.”
In short, the candidates for these four decent roles have been finalized.
Li Rushan took out a few more photos: "Mr. Lu, I have also found a few candidates for the big villain. Take a look? There are some very capable fighters among the younger generation, as well as Wuying-level athletes."
Lu Zhixing took a few photos and looked at them. The candidates were very broad, with different heights, looks, and famous names.
There are some excellent actors who have played major roles in many heavyweight kung fu movies, and there are also some completely unfamiliar faces.
But they all have one characteristic, that is, they basically all have real skills.
Of course, this so-called real kung fu is mainly used for filming, and it may not necessarily be how strong the actual combat ability is, but almost all of them are at the level of Wuying-level athletes, and their various moves and movements are absolutely standard.
However, Lu Zhixing looked at it and shook his head: "It's not appropriate."
Li Rushan was stunned for a moment: "Not suitable? There are all kinds of people here. Look at their looks, some are handsome, some are vicious, and some are crooked.
"Mr. Lu, what else do you want?
"By the way, you haven't told me what kind of character this villain is."
For these four decent characters, Lu Zhixing had already decided on the general direction. But the villains were not mentioned, and Li Rushan was not even asked to find them in the first place.
It was Li Rushan who volunteered, and while choosing decent actors, he also picked a few villain actors.
Lu Zhixing said: "Actually, I already had a candidate for this villain from the beginning. And this candidate happens to be more in line with your requirements."
Li Rushan was stunned for a moment: "My request?"
He thought about it and realized that he had indeed made a request before. This villain should be proficient in all martial arts, be good at disguise, be pure, and have no weaknesses.
At that time, he just said it casually and didn't think too much about it.
Now think about it, are there any domestic martial arts actors who meet these conditions?
Why can't you think of it?
"Mr. Lu, how do you plan to express your 'good at disguise'? Disguise?" Li Rushan asked.
Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "Disguise is not suitable. Although there are human skin masks and disguise in many martial arts movies, this thing is a bit fantasy after all, and it may be counterproductive when put in a game.
"I was thinking of another way to handle it.
"What if this villain had two faces? Just like Superman."
Li Rushan was a little confused: "Like Superman? Does it matter?"
Lu Zhixing explained: "Strictly speaking, should it be called the 'Superman Effect'? I remember there were many questions on the Internet before, saying that Superman does not wear a mask, but only wears a suit when going to work, with a slight hunchback and glasses.
, no one can recognize it. Isn’t this too unreasonable?
"But later, the actor who played Superman actually did an experiment. He just wore regular clothes and wandered around the filming set. As a result, no one recognized him. You know, he didn't wear glasses at the time.
"This shows that different occasions and different temperaments have a great impact on a person's image. This can also be understood as a special disguise."
Li Rushan nodded: "I have heard of this matter, but... what does this have to do with the villain actor we are looking for?"
Lu Zhixing explained: "Since you require the villain to be good at disguise, then his acting skills must be good so that he can express this feeling of disguise through changes in temperament.
"And his appearance shouldn't be too abrupt, he shouldn't be too handsome, and he shouldn't be too ugly. It's best to have a subversive change to his original image so that he can perfectly fit this characteristic."
Li Rushan was confused when he heard this.
He thought about it, why did he mention the requirement of "being good at disguise" before? Oh, by the way, it seems that it was mentioned together with the requirement of being proficient in all martial arts, being pure, and having no weaknesses. It was just to hope that the villain boss would be better.
The stronger, the better.
Think about it, the player is searching for this boss, and the boss who is good at disguise suddenly comes out from the crowd and gives the player a left kick and a right whip. This feeling is so refreshing!
Unexpectedly, Mr. Lu understood it so well.
Although there is no problem in understanding it this way, it inexplicably creates huge difficulties in selecting people.
"Mr. Lu...who are you going to choose?"
Lu Zhixing searched on his mobile phone: "This person."
Li Rushan came over and took a look: "This...isn't this Guo Yongqiang? He is not a young actor!"
