Wednesday, October 4th.
This year's holidays are the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day, with an eight-day long holiday. However, Zhang Yiyang, Yan Wei and the students who attended the college's welcome party only had five days off and will continue to rehearse today.
There is no way, time is too tight, we must race against time.
Zhang Yiyang obtained these five days of vacation by relying on Lu Zhixing's two scripts.
Today, the students who participated in the welcome party have already been busy and have resumed rehearsals. However, Zhang Yiyang and Lu Zhixing have temporarily put aside the rehearsal of the song program and are ready to go all out to prepare the language program.
As for the actors, Liu Bo has successfully managed the ideological work of Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan and brought them to the scene.
However, bringing them to the scene was not a matter of "first priority in choosing a mate", and neither of them was very interested in it.
What finally played a decisive role and final word was the bad news: except for the design draft of Lu Zhixing, all the other design drafts of dormitory 404 were killed by Professor He Cheng!
In other words, Lu Zhixing is now the only one in the dormitory. Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan can only hold Lu Zhixing's lap and do "Ordinary Life" with him.
Lu Zhixing said that this skit and rehearsal are an essential part of the game. If you want to join your group, you must participate in this skit.
Lu Yixiao and Zhao Haoyan highly suspected that Lu Zhixing was talking nonsense, but they had no choice but to come and participate in the show.
As for the book "In My Eyes", considering the difficulty of acting, Zhang Yiyang carefully selected a junior senior sister from senior students to play the role.
This senior performed very well in the language program at the last welcome party, and was considered by everyone to be the person with the best acting skills found in the entire Game Design School.
As for the "father" who had no sense of presence in the script, Zhang Yiyang failed to find a suitable candidate, so in the end he had no choice but to go into battle himself to make up for it.
"Sister Yuping, this junior fellow student Lu is the original author of these two books, so when we rehearse later, we will base everything on him. Is that okay?"
The senior sister nodded, looked at Lu Zhixing, and briefly introduced herself.
"Hello, Senior Brother Lu, my name is Zhou Yuping."
She looked up and down Lu Zhixing with some curiosity. She had long heard that there was a very evil person among this freshman class, who could create original songs and scripts, and even refused invitations to talent shows.
I thought he was a very talented and crazy person, but when I saw him in person today, I discovered that he was not as aggressive as the legend said. Instead, he seemed elegant, easy-going, and easy to talk to.
Although Zhou Yuping is not very beautiful, she looks gentle and graceful, which fits the image of the mother in "In My Eyes" very well. Moreover, there should be no problem with his acting skills.
Lu Zhixing was still very satisfied with this selection.
"By the way, regarding the selection of young actors, I have discussed with the director and asked his three-year-old son to make a guest appearance, but I will have to wait until tomorrow to have time." Zhang Yiyang added.
The last part of "In My Eyes" is shown from the mother's perspective and requires a young actor to play it. But fortunately, there is not much content in this section, and the content of the performance is relatively simple. It can be rehearsed unexpectedly.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's sign this first."
As Lu Zhixing spoke, he took out a pile of documents that he had prepared long ago from his backpack and distributed them to everyone.
Zhang Yiyang took it with a confused look: "Is this... a licensing agreement?"
The content of this agreement is very simple. It stipulates that Lu Zhixing enjoys all the copyrights of the two works "Undercover Trainee" and "In My Eyes", and these people, as performers, have to transfer some rights to Lu Zhixing. For example, Lu Zhixing can freely copy and disseminate everyone's performance content in various forms without asking for their opinions.
Of course, being an actor also has benefits. The agreement stipulates that Lu Zhixing will pay them according to the price of ordinary actors, which is about 10 days including rehearsal time and performance time, and the one-time quotation is 2,000 yuan/person.
Even the young actor, the counselor's son, had an agreement signed by his guardian.
Zhang Yiyang said: "Junior, this is not necessary. You have worked so hard to write the scripts of these two language programs. We only come to participate in the show to make up the numbers and help. How can we collect money? ?
"What's more, this money is too much!"
Others were also puzzled, wondering which song Lu Zhixing was singing.
They attended the orientation party for different purposes. For example, Liu Bo wanted to show off, Zhang Yiyang was assigned a task by the student union, and Zhou Yuping simply came to help out of a sense of honor for the college.
But one thing is completely consistent: they never think about any money.
Whether it is creation or performance, it is free and unprofitable by default.
On the one hand, this is because these college students are relatively simple-minded and are reluctant to talk about money; on the other hand, it is because the past New Year's Eve programs did not have commercial value.
But Lu Zhixing's works are different. Both programs have sufficient commercial value and will be used in games in the future. Therefore, an agreement must be formed and implemented in writing from the beginning to avoid wrangling later.
Of course, even if something unexpected happens, Lu Zhixing is completely justified. Because he didn't use special motion capture equipment at all, he used the cheat of the life-playing game to collect the materials.
After collecting the materials, he hand-drawn the models in the editor and adjusted the movements in the editor. Who can prove that these were based on other people's performances?
Even if there was a real fight, Lu Zhixing would still be in an invincible position.
But considering everyone's hard work, he decided to pay according to the approximate market price.
The quotes for actors and motion capture actors on the market fluctuate greatly. For example, the quotes from some motion capture manufacturers are calculated by the hour, which can be several hundred dollars higher per hour. But if they are extra actors on the set, the price will be much cheaper. The daily salary of extra actors is basically more than 100 yuan.
Lu Zhixing paid the same amount as a better group actor, but considering that the acting skills of college students are not as good as group actors, and the working hours are not as intense as group actors, the price has obviously gone up.
This is also to motivate them to complete the performance more focused and seriously.
Liu Bo sneaked up to Lu Zhixing and whispered: "Brother Lu, when did you become so wealthy? This cost is more than 10,000 yuan?"
I recall that last month, Lu Yixiao took on the private job of hosting a wedding and earned 600 yuan, which made everyone else in the dormitory extremely envious. As a result, now, Liu Bo and Zhao Haoyan have also experienced the feeling of making extra money, but they did not expect that this extra money came from Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing chuckled: "Didn't I say it before? Soon you will find that I have many other talents, and then you will gradually get used to it."
The corner of Liu Bo's mouth twitched slightly: "You said you were fat and you were out of breath. It seems that the last buffet didn't hurt your flesh! I have to kill you again after the New Year Party. This time it has to be a 98 buffet." Make up for the wounds in our hearts!”
Everyone studied the agreement and found that there were no pitfalls at all. It could be said that they were just picking up money.
Since those who throw away money don’t care, what should those who pick up money worry about?
"Okay, let's sign it!" Zhang Yiyang took the lead, and the others quickly signed.
After that, everyone officially started rehearsing.
Lu Zhixing looked at everyone: "Do you all know your lines by heart?"
Everyone nodded.
These college students may not be very good at acting, but their attitude is definitely much more upright than the average little fresh meat. In terms of memorizing lines, there was no need for Lu Zhixing to supervise me.
"Okay, then let's divide into two groups first. Senior, you and the senior sister will check the notebook first and practice briefly. I will teach the three of them here first, and then go over there."
Under the command of Lu Zhixing, the two groups quickly got on track.
At first, Zhang Yiyang and Zhou Yuping were still racking their brains to think of various details, but they soon discovered that there was no need at all, because all the details were already in Lu Zhixing's mind!
Even the smallest expressions and movements have already been arranged.
Because the moment Lu Zhixing obtained the work, the work presented the most perfect state, and every performance detail naturally emerged in his mind.
As long as the actors are guided according to this most perfect state, the best stage effect can be achieved.
"Old Zhao, you were too stiff just now. Relax. This role is tailor-made for you. You don't have to think about how to act. Just be a little more restrained.
"Look, the plot of this episode is that Lu Yixiao suspected that one of the trainees was an undercover agent, so he called you to inform you. At this time, you have two lines:
"One sentence is: 'What? Is there an undercover agent among our trainees?' The other sentence is: 'Brother Xiao, is this undercover agent you?'
"The first sentence should be serious, but it should also be a little silly and a bit sinister. Don't wait too long for the next sentence. You should lower your voice and say it in a low voice. It will appear that you are speculating seriously, and you have to take care of the boss's face. Publicity...
"Yes, yes, this feels very close. Keep it up and practice it two more times.
"Sister Yuping, this paragraph must show the mother's complex emotions. As an ordinary family in a machinery factory, the father is a worker. The family's financial situation is relatively tight. Even some snacks bought for the children are If you can save, save.
"However, the couple still squeezed out as much money as possible to enroll their children in piano and painting classes. Although such classes were not as expensive in those days, they were still a relatively heavy burden for the family. .
"It certainly cannot be understood that parents are doing it for face or to follow the crowd. Parents actually want to see, what if their children have that talent? Then they have to support their children in this path even if they are trying to sell everything. They cannot stifle their children's talents just because they are poor. Another possibility. You can eat less snacks, but you can’t save on education. This was also a common idea among parents at that time...
"So when you see your child playing the piano well, you should not just be happy, but also express more complex emotions including relief."
Lu Zhixing ran back and forth between the two groups, constantly correcting everyone's expressions, movements and lines, making progress by leaps and bounds.
At the end of the day, everyone was thirsty and exhausted, and they drank all the two boxes of mineral water they bought.
"Okay, let's stop here today and we will continue tomorrow."
After Lu Zhixing spoke, everyone finally relaxed and let out a sigh of relief.
Unknowingly, Lu Zhixing had gradually mastered the rhythm of the rehearsal scene, and Zhang Yiyang was becoming a bit like a tool man.
But Zhang Yiyang didn't care at all. He wished that someone would do this kind of hard work for him!
It feels good to lie down and win for a while, and it always feels good to lie down and win. If you don't take advantage of such a good thing, wouldn't you be scolded by Professor He Cheng in vain?
