Through Li Rushan's efforts, Lu Zhixing successfully contacted these major actors.
Today is already the 26th, and there are only a few days left before the end of February.
Although these main actors have no other filming plans in the short term and their schedules are still open, they still have some more or less personal matters to deal with before coming to Jinghai.
So Lu Zhixing scheduled the shooting at the beginning of next month, around March 10th.
In one month, the shooting was completed, and in another month, it was made into a game for sale!
But this does not mean that Lu Zhixing will have nothing to do in the next week. Since he wants to fool, oh no, contact actors, he must make full preparations.
These actors just said that they are willing to come and have a look, but it is not certain whether they are willing to participate in the show.
If they feel that the project itself is unreliable, or if it happens to be invited by a more powerful crew, there is still the possibility of rejection.
Several actors this time are very suitable, especially the role of Feng Shu, which was almost tailor-made by Lu Zhixing based on Guo Yongqiang's image. If he didn't come to play, it would be really difficult.
Therefore, there is no room for error.
Although in this situation, Li Rushan would definitely start throwing away money and try to use money to solve the problem, but Lu Zhixing didn't like such a simple and crude method.
On the one hand, simply throwing money can buy people, but it can't buy hearts. If they just act with the mentality of doing errands, they won't be able to achieve the effect Lu Zhixing wants.
On the other hand, as a designer, Lu Zhixing must of course find a more elegant way to solve the problem.
You need to understand with reason, move with emotion, and show enough strength and sincerity to make them willing to participate in the performance!
In terms of strength:
Lu Zhixing must try his best to refine the script of the story and the details of the characters within a week. It is best to finalize the character's makeup image, the scenes and lines of several famous scenes.
At the same time, it is best to arrange the scenery quickly. When the time comes, let the actors walk around the scene and feel the atmosphere, which can also be of great help.
And in terms of sincerity:
Not only is it necessary to hire a professional martial arts instructor, but more importantly, it is necessary to show the attitude of the entire team working together to do one thing well!
The matter of Wu Zhi is easy to talk about. Lu Zhixing has already thought of two ready-made candidates.
The resources of the research team are useless if you don’t use them!
An Yunkai is the best motion capture actor in the second group. He himself is a second-level athlete in martial arts routines, and his own strength is definitely not weak. He has practiced Sanda and various fighting skills, and is very familiar with many martial arts routines.
.
Of course, An Yunkai alone cannot control the situation. After all, his qualifications are relatively young and he has never held a job as a martial arts instructor.
As a coach, it is enough to practice with the employees of Studio 404, but it is not enough to convince actors like Guo Yongqiang.
So Lu Zhixing set his sights on Jinghai Research Institute again.
Regardless of whether it is an institute or a research group, a very important task is to study the movements of people in the virtual world, so they have basically established contacts with famous local athletes.
Among them, there are naturally martial arts level athletes, and even some professional martial arts instructors, action directors, etc.
And Jinghai has such a heavyweight: Dong Yucheng.
He is over 60 years old this year. He participated in many national martial arts competitions in his early years and won various gold medals. He has also served as a martial arts instructor and action director in many film and television works, and has won some of the best moves at home and abroad.
Mentoring Award.
However, this old man has also been semi-retired in recent years. Without a strong relationship and a really good script, he will not come out.
Therefore, Lu Zhixing found Yiping Ping immediately and asked him to help match him.
There must be no problem with An Yunkai. After all, he is a member of the second group and can use it however he wants.
But on Dong Yucheng's side, Zhou Yiping felt that he was a little bit reluctant to hire him, so he turned to Dean Bai of Jinghai Research Institute.
When the previous hacking incident occurred, Dean Bai happened to be away from Jinghai. Later he said that he wanted to meet Lu Zhixing, and it was during the Spring Festival, but he never found a good opportunity.
It just so happened that this time Dean Bai decided to invite Dong Yucheng and Lu Zhixing to the institute to have tea, catch up on old times, and talk about this project by the way.
The time is set for the day after tomorrow, which is Wednesday, the 28th.
After everything was arranged, Lu Zhixing met An Yunkai and then headed to Studio 404 together.
It’s almost time for the employee training to begin!
…
At this time, the employees of Studio 404 were still busy with their own affairs and did not feel the danger approaching at all.
Of course, the planned parkour and rock climbing training is still going on as usual, but it is not as strict as before.
Everyone is basically getting started. Although the training in the novice stage is difficult, the improvement is huge. This is the so-called "novice welfare period". But after this stage, everyone has mastered a series of basic movements, and their physical fitness has also improved to a certain extent.
After that, progress becomes very slow.
So now everyone is free to move according to their own pace. If you feel that you are no longer inspired to work or are in poor condition, you can go practice and Zhong Haibin will provide guidance at any time.
When no one is training, Zhong Haibin will continue to train himself, and often helps with other tasks, such as testing actions, levels, etc. in "Walking with Darkness".
It can be clearly felt that everyone has become a little relaxed.
How can this be done?
Lu Zhixing is here today just to start some new challenges for everyone.
As early as after the game's role-playing tasks were updated, Lu Zhixing was seriously thinking about which of these tasks was suitable for employees to share with him?
At present, it seems that only this martial arts master who does not talk about martial arts is more suitable.
There are two other role-playing tasks, one is a high school student who is not doing his job properly, and the other is a collector of explicit figures.
Lu Zhixing hasn't figured out how to play these two, and a top student must first have a student identity, right? Then he can talk about "not doing his job".
Except for Liu Bo and a few roommates, the employees of Studio 404 have already become social workers. Do they still meet the status of "academic master"?
It's hard to say.
As for collectors of explicit figures...you have to like it from the bottom of your heart, and it's not easy to force it. If you do it too deliberately, you will easily expose yourself.
In short, these two acting identities need to be discussed in the long run.
But Lu Zhixing already had some ideas about "a martial arts master who doesn't talk about martial arts".
He came to An Yunkai today mainly for this reason.
Although this role-playing goal seems a bit contradictory, as long as you grasp the two key points of "not talking about martial ethics" and "transferring martial arts", there should be no big problem, and the performance progress can be increased to some extent.
"Come and sit wherever you like.
"Mr. Li, this is the best motion capture actor in our second group as I mentioned before, and also the martial arts coach and action director specially invited this time, An Yunkai.
"This is our investor, Mr. Li from Fuhui Capital."
Lu Zhixing took An Yunkai to Studio 404, introduced him to Li Rushan, and also visited the working environment here.
An Yunkai and Li Rushan exchanged two long greetings.
Then, An Yunkai looked curiously at the office space of Studio 404, or in other words, the parkour rock climbing venue.
"This layout is very professional! Mr. Lu is really well prepared, so he can develop a good game like "Walking with Darkness"!
"Speaking of which, I've also played this game, and it's quite interesting. The various parkour and rock climbing actions are also the best among all the VR games I've played. It's just that horror games are a bit scary."
Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "I am a game producer who attaches great importance to source materials."
An Yunkai asked: "Mr. Lu, anyway, I have turned down all the work for the next two months. I will listen to Team Leader Zhou and fully cooperate with you! But... what exactly do you need me to do?"
"Is it motion capture for a new game?"
Before coming this time, An Yunkai had already heard from Zhou Ping that Studio 404 needed him, so he came without hesitation.
As for the specific job, I don’t know yet.
However, as a motion capture actor, he should be mainly responsible for motion capture work, right? It just so happens that the next game of 404 Studio is said to be an action game, which is where it comes into play.
However, Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "It's still too early to talk about motion capture. I invite you here, mainly... to be our coach."
