Through Li Rushan's efforts, Lu Zhixing successfully contacted these main 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 busy, they still have some personal matters to deal with before coming to Jinghai.
So Lu Zhixing set the shooting plan at the beginning of next month, around March 10th.
In one month, the filming 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. It would be really difficult if he didn't come to act.
Therefore, there is no room for error.
Although in this case, Li Rushan would definitely start throwing away money and try to use money to solve the problem, Lu Zhixing didn't like such a simple and crude method.
On the one hand, simply throwing money can buy people, but it cannot buy hearts. If they just acted with the mentality of just doing errands, they wouldn't be able to achieve the effect Lu Zhixing wanted.
On the other hand, as a designer, Lu Zhixing certainly had to solve the problem in a more elegant way.
You need to understand things with reason, move people 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, letting the actors walk around the scene and feel the atmosphere 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 seriously!
Wu Zhi's matter 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 also 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 basically have 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 there is such a heavyweight in Jinghai: 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 productions, 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 period is difficult, the improvement is also great. This is the so-called "novice welfare period". But after this stage, after everyone has mastered a series of basic movements and their physical fitness has improved to a certain extent, progress will be very slow.
So now everyone is free to move according to their own pace. If they feel that they are no longer inspired to work or are not in good condition, they just go and practice. 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 top student who is not doing his job, and the other is a collector of explicit figures.
Lu Zhixing hasn't figured out how to play these two, and what's more, something like a top student must first have a student identity, right? Only then can we talk about "not doing our job properly".
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, 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 performance goal seems a bit contradictory, as long as you grasp the two key points of "not talking about martial ethics" and "transmitting martial arts", there should be no big problem, and the performance progress can be increased to some extent.
“Come, 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"!
"Having said that, 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?"
"Are you doing 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, we 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 404 Studio’s next game is said to be an action game, which is where it comes in handy.
However, Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "It's still too early to talk about motion capture. I invite you to come, mainly... to be our coach."
An Yunkai was a little confused: "Huh? Coach?"
