After Lin Yao gave a clear actor testing process and production process.
Chen Qiuwen also felt confident.
Start looking for suitable actors who can accept acting in the game.
Lin Yao didn't ask about this matter and had no way to do so.
Because she is not familiar with the actors and stars in this world at all...
It can only be handed over to Chen Qiuwen.
Chen Qiuwen also knew that Lin Yao was unfamiliar, so he finally brought in a familiar person - Zhu Nianqiao.
Zhu Nianqiao is quite interested in this matter.
He was very attentive and started to help Chen Qiuwen decide on the candidate.
In the end, the two decided on three actors based on the background story of "The Witch" given by Lin Yao and various elements of the protagonist's setting.
There are two choices for male protagonists and one choice for heroine.
None of these three people are very popular stars.
That kind of person is too expensive, and the effect may not be very good...
The entertainment industry here is quite similar to Lin Yao's previous life.
If you really want to pursue traffic, choose a popular niche.
There will definitely be traffic.
But I guess the artists will be exhausted, and it may also disgust most players.
Therefore, Zhu Nianqiao and Chen Qiuwen chose actors who are well-known, whose acting skills are recognized, and who have a good reputation among male gamers.
After all, this is a game.
Men account for a high proportion.
They contacted the brokerage company that selected the candidate and talked about the matter.
But the other party seemed quite confused.
game?
motion capture?
Are they actors?
Chen Qiuwen patiently explained it to them.
After listening, the other party reluctantly understood, but was unsure about paying attention.
All I can say is that I need to think about it.
Chen Qiuwen had no choice but to wait patiently for a reply.
Lin Yao paid a little attention to this matter, but didn't take it too seriously.
She didn't object to this, because it was quite common in previous games to use celebrities in games, but in the beginning, they usually provided voices for game characters.
But there are also examples of real actors starring.
For example, Extraordinary Twins in the PS3 era.
Like a Dragon series.
Detroit becomes human.
There are also more famous Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077, etc.
There are successful examples here.
There are also examples of failure.
There are also examples where I don’t know whether it’s a failure or a success…well, I’m talking about Johnny Silverhand.
Please star, please tell me it’s useful...
Indeed there is.
Although it may not necessarily bring any actual effect to the sales of the game,
After all, the performance of the actors has nothing to do with the game itself, nor does it have anything to do with the quality. Few players will buy a game just for the participation of a certain actor.
Players are still picky, and the quality of a game is the fundamental factor that determines their purchase of the game.
The addition of film and television stars is more of a publicity stunt. It is indeed a menu-like effect for players who want to buy the game.
"The Witch" is Linmu Studio's first pure stand-alone masterpiece.
Lin Yao is willing to pay some extra costs for this game.
As long as the other party is willing to participate, they will also agree to the request.
but no.
Not bad either.
There is no need to pay special attention to it.
…
"game?"
Xiangchen looked at his agent with a puzzled look on his face: "How should I play the game?"
"Motion capture, I don't quite understand what the other person is talking about... Anyway, it's a set. I checked it out and it should be the set of things used in 3D movies. I put a tracker on my body, and then the performance is uploaded to the computer.
It’s like a green screen.”
The agent looked helpless: "In addition, I also checked the other party's company. It is indeed very famous in the gaming circle recently. Your assistant has heard of it. It is precisely because of this that I told you."
"this……"
Xiangchen hesitated.
People will always hesitate when facing areas they are unfamiliar with.
So does he.
During this period, his career was on the rise because he starred in a very popular TV series. He had good acting skills and a lovable role.
There have been quite a few announcements lately.
It was for this reason that Chen Qiuwen and Zhu Nianqiao contacted him.
But on one side there are TV series announcements that I am familiar with, and on the other side there are games.
Xiangchen indeed prefers TV series that he is familiar with.
He thought for a moment and asked, "How long will this game take?"
The agent quoted a date.
"Then forget it."
After Xiang Chen heard this, he immediately shook his head. He doesn't play games and is not familiar with them. Moreover, he has been receiving numerous invitations to TV dramas recently, and the salary offered is almost twice as high as before...
In the end, he decided to choose a more familiar field.
"Okay, then I'll reply to the other side. You can have a good rest. There will be an announcement later."
The agent nodded, walked out of the lounge, and came to the corridor.
Prepare to call Linmu Studio back.
The call was answered quickly.
The agent responded and explained the reason for the rejection.
The other party is not a small studio.
Maybe we can cooperate in the future.
There may not be many ways to maintain a good relationship.
So she was extra polite.
The people at Lin Mu Studio were also very polite, expressed their understanding, said trouble to each other, and hung up the phone.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to go back.
But when I look back.
But it turned out that there was someone standing behind him.
"...You scared me."
When the agent saw someone behind him, he was startled and almost jumped up.
"Sorry, Sister Zhang, let me ask, is the Linmu Studio you are talking about the Linmu Studio? The Linmu Studio that produced "Heroes"!?"
The man apologized and then asked quickly, with an excited look on his face.
"What hero?"
The manager, Sister Zhang, said angrily.
This person's name is Zhang Seng. He was once an artist under her. He went to the same performing arts school as Xiang Chen. However, because his appearance was not outstanding, his life was not as good as Xiang Chen's. He has always been tepid and even almost cold.
At the same time, as Xiang Chen became famous.
Manager Sister Zhang also changed from being the manager of multiple artists in the company to being the manager of Xiang Chen alone.
Monk Zhang is now in charge of someone else.
"It's the most popular game recently."
Monk Zhang said excitedly: "That's really fun."
"Please serve some snacks. Just play, you'll almost get confused."
Sister Zhang said angrily.
Monk Zhang is pretty good, his only shortcoming is that he loves to play.
"Bullshit? Have I ever been red?" Zhang Seng asked innocently.
"..."
Sister Zhang was speechless and could only give a warning, and then told Monk Zhang that Linmu Studio was looking for actors.
There's nothing to hide.
Although Zhang Seng is not in charge of her now.
But the relationship between the two has always been good. After all, they were people who shared hardships together.
After hearing what his manager Sister Zhang said, Monk Zhang's eyes lit up, and then he said with a serious face: "Sister Zhang, I ask you something, I solemnly ask you something..."
Sister Zhang: "..."
"Can you recommend me to Linmu Studio? Their games also invite celebrities to make masterpieces. I want to participate! I really want to participate! Even if I don't get paid, please!"
Monk Zhang bowed vigorously, truly solemnly.
Sister Zhang was slightly startled: "No, no pay...?"
She can't understand.
She is not a player, and she wants to participate in business cooperation without any money...
To her, it was simply crazy.
But seeing Zhang Seng's attitude, she knew... that the other party was serious.
