Wednesday, February 28th.
Today is the day Lu Zhixing made an appointment with Dean Bai and Dong Yucheng.
Before coming, Lu Zhixing also made some preparations. The most important one is to produce concept drawings of several scenes.
Of course, it is said to be a concept drawing, but it is actually a ready-made scene that can be viewed directly by wearing a VR game helmet.
The filming locations for the four scenes have been decided before, and they are basically very different from what Lu Zhixing imagined.
Therefore, Lu Zhixing made a special trip to these places and spent points to select the scenes that suited him best.
Of course, it’s not affordable to collect the entire material, and there aren’t that many points, but it’s still okay to just collect a certain room or a small area.
Then I selected a small amount of icing on the cake materials from the Life Playing Game Mall, such as flame burning templates, or some specific filters, to redecorate these scenes.
These materials cost Lu Zhixing hundreds of points, which made him feel a little bit pained, but in order to deceive, oh no, win over this martial arts instructor, he couldn't save it.
After all, Lu Zhixing is also an aspiring game producer. He can't just do it with nothing, he still has to be somewhat invested.
Lu Zhixing came to Jinghai Research Institute a little earlier than the agreed time.
The guard at the door still lets you go after confirming your identity, and then comes the security check.
"Hello, please take out the things in your pocket for further inspection. Huh? It's you." The security staff actually recognized Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing calmly took out the items in his pocket one by one, including his mobile phone, wallet, and keys. They were gone.
The security officer glanced quickly and was a little surprised: "Huh? Did you only bring these this time?"
Lu Zhixing smiled: "What else?"
The security personnel also smiled: "Nothing, please come in."
Obviously, the laser pointer and catnip ball toys last time seemed to have left a deep impression on the security officer, but he was a little disappointed when he didn't see them this time.
Lu Zhixing sighed silently in his heart, that's because I haven't started acting yet, and of course you didn't see it!
If you come back after I start cosplaying, maybe you can see me taking out some more social figurines from my pocket...
After grabbing his things, Lu Zhixing went straight to Dean Bai's office.
…
"It's a small road, come on, sit wherever you want."
Dean Bai's full name is Bai Guoqi. He looks to be in his sixties or seventies this year and has a gray beard. However, the overall impression is quite amiable, similar to the old man next door.
There was a rather complicated-looking tea table on the table. Dean Bai had already prepared it. After a set of procedures, he handed a small cup to Lu Zhixing's hand.
Lu Zhixing quickly took it with both hands and took a sip.
"Huh? Good tea! It's a pity that I don't know much about tea. If Professor He comes, I should be able to taste more."
Although Lu Zhixing doesn't know much about tea, he can still taste the quality based on his instinctive feeling.
Dean Bai said cheerfully: "Old He? He came to my place for tea a while ago! He even showed off to me from time to time, saying that he had met a good student.
"My ears almost became calluses when I heard it. I was still dissatisfied at first. What kind of outstanding student can keep him talking? It must be a topic he forced to find to make tea with me.
"It turned out later that he really wasn't trying to find a topic. He really couldn't bring it up. If he didn't show it off, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
"Showing off is his first reason for coming to me, and drinking tea comes second."
Lu Zhixing was speechless for a moment.
I originally thought that Dean Bai paid attention to me for the first time because of the previous hacking incident, but now it seems that Professor He has already paved the way for him.
At this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Please come in."
As soon as Dean Bai finished speaking, a sturdy middle-aged man pushed open the door and entered.
He looks younger than in the photo, his hair is not long, and his obviously bulging muscles can be seen through his clothes.
If Lu Zhixing hadn't known about it in advance, we wouldn't have guessed that he was already sixty years old and looked like he was only in his early fifties. To be able to maintain this state at this age is really something.
"Yucheng, come on, long time no see.
"Let me introduce, this is the one I told you before, one of our rising stars in Jinghai, the chief game designer of 404 Studio, Lu Zhixing."
Dean Bai gave a brief introduction to the two of them.
"Mr. Lu, hello." Dong Yucheng shook hands with Lu Zhixing. His hands were rough and strong, and his words seemed very polite, but there was a vague gesture of rejection in his words.
After everyone sat down, Dong Yucheng said: "Dean Bai, and Mr. Lu. To be honest, I'm here this time. It's been a long time since I've met with Dean Bai. I can't refuse the warm hospitality, so I came to see you." .
"But as for the game...
"I'm a rough guy and I speak more directly, so you two don't get offended.
"Actually, I haven't been in good health recently. I suffered from a problem while practicing martial arts when I was young, and I'm still recuperating. Recently, many film crews have approached me and wanted to invite me, but I have refused them all.
"It's true, I'm getting older, and I'm a little incapable of doing what I do. And the game itself is a new thing, and I don't understand it at all, let alone the latest virtual reality game, so I don't know anything about it.
"So today I came to meet you two and let's talk about this matter openly and honestly, especially Mr. Lu. I'm honored that you can invite me, but my ability is really limited, and because of some chores in health and life. , and it is indeed inconvenient, so..."
The implication is that he obviously wants to shirk it.
Lu Zhixing was thinking about how to answer the question, but Dean Bai already laughed: "Okay, okay, Yucheng, it's okay to fool outsiders with your words, don't talk about these things with me.
"Why are you not in good health? You are still boxing every day. You are as strong as a cow. Why do you pretend to be sick when I come to you?
"Okay, stop your arrogance and let's get down to business."
These words made Dong Yucheng look confused.
ah?
Dean Bai, why don't you follow the routine?
Obviously, Dong Yucheng didn't fully understand the situation before coming, and thought it was just a simple favor situation.
He has known Dean Bai for a long time, especially after the fifth generation VR technology continued to produce breakthroughs. Jinghai Research Institute often invited him to do research, and he was even more familiar with Dean Bai.
This time he heard Dean Bai say that he was going to provide martial arts instruction to a young game designer, so he subconsciously thought it was a personal situation.
Since it's a human relations bureau, it's okay to meet him once and then find a reason to turn him down.
If it was a normal relationship, Dean Bai would definitely not force it. He would just set up a bureau and let everyone meet. Then Dong Yucheng would find some physical reasons. Dean Bai would definitely go along with the situation and reject the matter. .
In this way, you won't refute the other person's face, and you won't really participate in any bad projects, which will affect your own evening.
When the time comes, it will be their own business whether they want to find someone else to be their martial artist.
Unexpectedly, Dean Bai is serious?
Looking at this posture, it is obviously not a simple favor situation. This Dean Bai didn't just pull strings out of favor. Do you really want him to be a martial artist?
This time, Dong Yucheng was a bit confused.
Dean Bai looked at his confused expression and laughed: "Okay, okay, Yucheng, don't refuse this thing in a hurry. This time, although it is from a personal point of view, I suggest you to participate in this project. But there is also one point that represents the official view.
"If this project succeeds, it is very likely that we will have new breakthroughs in the research of VR technology! Otherwise, why do you think I would invite you here in person?"
Dong Yucheng was even more confused.
Is this project so important? Is it even possible to achieve new breakthroughs in VR technology research?
However, this is not the official research institute’s own project, right? Moreover, this designer looks too young. It’s hard to say whether he is twenty years old or not.
How could such a project attract so much attention from Dean Bai?
Dong Yucheng said: "Dean Bai, please don't be alarmist. How can you make a new breakthrough in VR technology research? Isn't this game still full of horoscopes?"
Dean Bai chuckled: "This game does not have a character yet, but the previous game already has it."
