Saturday, March 30th.
Lu Zhixing checked the player rankings of the "Dubu Wulin" demo in the background.
This demo was released last Saturday, and it has been a week now. Although the time is not very long, it is enough for screening.
So far, more than one million players have played this demo. Of course, most of them were beaten and persuaded to leave by the group of strong men at the beginning, without even seeing the faces of Xiaobai and Xiaohei. arrive.
However, this demo was not originally designed to train players to become martial arts masters. It was to screen existing masters.
Those who have already practiced fighting and martial arts in reality can get used to it faster. And after a week of practice, these people are basically familiar with the various moves of the AI in it, and they can also make some tricks. .
Many guides have also begun to appear on the Internet, telling everyone how to deal with the strong man at the beginning, and what are the weaknesses of the stronger men in white and black.
The playback volume of these video guides is quite high, but the barrages in them are also very uniform.
"He seemed to really want to teach us."
"Don't go! I just tried it, and a dozen strong men were very cruel!"
"Forget it, you need to have hands and feet."
"Watching the big guys fight: Damn it's so easy, I'll try it too! After trying it myself: It's for free!"
However, the emergence of these videos does help to further spread the demo of "Doubo Wulin". The larger the player base, the more likely it is to attract real bosses.
This demo also has internal ratings, which are not only the time it takes the player to defeat Xiao Hei, but also the standard level of various actions, the basic physical fitness for VR game cabin login, etc.
In short, by measuring and filtering these criteria, it is easy to get a ranking.
Based on this ranking, Lu Zhixing went to watch the videos of these people challenging Xiao Hei one by one, and then asked each of them if they had any intention to participate in "Dubu Martial Arts". Basically, the candidate for the protagonist can be determined.
Before playing this demo, Lu Zhixing made corresponding settings in order to better filter. It is recommended that players upload their real names and contact information to facilitate official contact.
Of course, it doesn't matter if players don't want to upload, but most players still choose to upload.
Therefore, Lu Zhixing can directly check the real names and contact information of these players in the background.
Needless to say, I glanced over and saw some familiar names.
For example...Tong Zhuo!
What surprised Lu Zhixing was that this guy was ranked third on this list?
Is this reasonable?
But after clicking on the video and checking it out, Lu Zhixing understood what was going on.
This Tong Zhuo is simply Xiaolu Renjia!
Tong Zhuo had already practiced Lu Zhixing's cat parkour method before. Although he had never achieved any results, he was at least familiar with this special way of exerting force.
This time Tong Zhuo came to Studio 404 and practiced rock climbing, parkour and martial arts every day. Unknowingly, he was affected by the halo effect of Lu Zhixing.
In addition, he has very good physical fitness and is a top rock climbing parkour player. He can adapt to this special way of exerting force faster... So he practiced in this demo and compared it with Lu Renjia's posture. Naturally, I understood some of the essence of Xingyiquan!
It's just that his action points were deducted more.
When fighting Xiao Hei, his movements were a bit too unsightly. In this case, the actual combat ability is definitely good, but it is not easy to transfer to the big screen, which will seriously affect the fighting perception of kung fu movies.
The second place turned out to be Ye Luo, the former speedrun boss.
His skills are obviously quite comprehensive, and he made full use of game mechanics during the fight. In the battle with Xiao Bai, he almost used all the beer bottles and ashtrays in the audience, and in the battle with Xiao Hei, The various sculptures in the museum have not escaped his clutches.
Of course, there are differences between Ye Luo's playing style and Tong Zhuo's.
Ye Luo's approach is more like a player taking full advantage of the game's mechanics.
But Ye Luo has a fatal problem, that is, his physical fitness in reality is far inferior to Tong Zhuo and No. 1.
Although Ye Luo's physical fitness is considered very good among ordinary players, and he has also received some training in rock climbing and parkour, and his abilities are relatively comprehensive, after all, he cannot compare with these professional players.
Therefore, if he is allowed to film, it is hard to say whether his physical fitness can keep up with him in reality.
After all, this movie still has to be shot in real life, not an animated movie produced in VR. In this regard, Ye Luo has no advantage.
Lu Zhixing finally looked at the first place.
This name made him laugh a little, because it clearly said: Liu Jianlong!
Although Lu Zhixing didn't know the reasons why Liu Jianlong came to challenge this demo, he just imagined it, and it was enough to create a small theater scene.
It is conceivable that Liu Jianlong, who was full of confidence, challenged Lu Renjia in the virtual world and was defeated. The more he thought about it, the more unwilling and angry he became. He happened to see this demo released by 404 Studio, so he challenged Lu Renjia here. I practiced hard in the simulator and finally got a good result...
After comprehensive consideration, it is obvious that Liu Jianlong is a very good choice to be the leading actor.
He has strong actual combat ability, top-notch physical fitness, and is proficient in all kinds of top-level fighting moves. No matter who he is trying to use, he should be fine.
Moreover, his image is also good and he has a certain popularity.
In previous kung fu films, there were actually many cameos by fighting champions, such as Billy Chow and Jet Binny, who were all boxing champions or fighting champions, and the filming was all done very well.
If it is an ordinary kung fu movie, it may not work. After all, the protagonist also has very important drama, and these real boxing champions may not be good at drama.
However, in the drama "One Step in the Wulin", the main drama is concentrated on Guo Yongqiang. The so-called protagonist is actually more of a tool man, so this is completely fine.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhixing immediately called Liu Jianlong.
"Hello? Hello, is this Mr. Liu Jianlong? Oh. I am the designer of Studio 404, Lu Zhixing."
Lu Zhixing first briefly introduced himself, then congratulated Liu Jianlong for passing the demo screening, and asked him if he had any intention to participate in the filming of "One Step in the Martial Arts".
The other party was silent for a moment, but his first reaction was not to ask about the movie.
"Why does your voice... sound so much like Lu Renjia's?"
Lu Zhixing almost spat out a "poof", and hurriedly coughed twice and explained: "How is that possible! Mr. Liu, you must have heard wrong. The purpose of making this demo is to help the Jinghai martial arts people fight against unethical martial arts." How could Lu Renjia have anything to do with him?
"This is definitely your illusion!"
Liu Jianlong was doubtful: "Okay, Mr. Lu, maybe I am overthinking it. However, I did not clear this demo to compete for the male lead. I just wanted to practice in it and strive to defeat Lu Renjia as soon as possible, and I also I don’t know much about making movies, so…”
Lu Zhixing hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter. The reason why we decided to select people online is because we have thought about it in advance. It doesn't matter whether you have experience in making movies or not.
"Don't worry, we have already made arrangements from the script to the details in the play. When the time comes, you just need to follow the requirements of the director and martial arts instructor and complete the filming seriously.
"To be more specific, you can come to our studio and have a look, and we'll discuss it in detail. Maybe here, you can also find the inspiration to defeat Lu Renjia?"
Liu Jianlong obviously didn't believe it: "Can you still find inspiration to defeat Lu Renjia?"
He subconsciously thought that Lu Zhixing was deceiving him.
Lu Zhixing coughed twice: "It's absolutely true! As for the specific inspiration, you can take the time to come to our company and crew for an on-site inspection and take a look. I believe that after you come, you Your mind will change!"
