After deciding on the filming location for "Sword Shadow and Prairie Fire", Li Rushan and Lu Zhixing got busy.
Li Rushan took Qin Shang and began to discuss the shooting with Liangxi Film and Television City and Zhuojun Film and Television City. Of course, in addition to the shooting location, costumes, makeup, props, etc. also had to be arranged accordingly.
Lu Zhixing assigned the work task to the R&D team of 404 Studio: complete the basic action mechanism design of the game, as well as the plot design.
Among them, plot design is the top priority.
This is not to say that the action mechanism design is not important. The main reason is that Lu Zhixing has other plans for this matter, and the main design is completed by him.
"Sword and Shadow" is different from other action games. Although it uses the theme of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Zhixing attaches great importance to the plot of the game. He cannot focus only on the combat experience like some action games. The plot is all a fool. .
The reason why the Three Kingdoms theme is so popular is that the lower limit for its adaptation is actually very high.
Even if ordinary games don't have a very good plot, as long as they carefully recreate the famous scenes in the novel, spend more money during some battles and make them look more lively, players will be able to accept it.
But it is precisely for this reason that many manufacturers start to habitually mess up the Three Kingdoms theme. The plot that should be an advantage is a mess.
Although what Lu Zhixing is doing this time is the theme of the Demonic Three Kingdoms and has a lot of original elements, the plot still needs to be highlighted.
As before, this time it is also a "saturated design". Everyone can put forward their own views and understanding of the plot, and finally Lu Zhixing will check and combine the various plots.
After assigning the task, Lu Zhixing still had one very important thing to do.
That is to seek the advice of professionals.
Lu Zhixing actually didn't know much about cold weapon combat. Although he is now regarded by many netizens as the most capable fighter, this is under the conditions of unrestricted fighting, not cold weapon fighting.
In the so-called unrestricted fighting, although weapons can be used, most of the weapons used are not controlled knives, but some props that can be obtained in reality.
Whether it is unrestricted fighting or the fighting mode in "Doppu Martial Arts", although some weapons are also used, in general it is still within the framework of unarmed fighting.
But now, what Lu Zhixing wants to do is a game with cold weapon combat as the main content, so he can no longer use the original method.
Otherwise, it would be easy to be the same as "Doubo Martial Arts".
Of course, Lu Zhixing has already made up his mind that the combat system of "Sword Shadow and Prairie Fire" is higher than reality, and there will be some actions such as "seeing through", but in general, it must be based on reality and cannot Completely wild and wild.
How to strike a balance between reality and illusion, while retaining authenticity and enhancing the sense of refreshment, is what Lu Zhixing is most concerned about.
And he happened to know such an expert: Mr. Feng Qinghui, who had previously starred in "One Step in the Martial Arts".
This is also a quite famous martial artist, especially his swordsmanship is quite exquisite. Of course, if the two of them were brought to the virtual sea for actual combat, Mr. Feng would definitely not be Lu Zhixing's opponent, but when it came to his understanding of various combat techniques, Mr. Feng was definitely a figure that could be called an encyclopedia.
…
Lu Zhixing had Mr. Feng's contact information before, and the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant, so when he told the old man, he readily agreed.
In the evening, the two came to the virtual sea of Beijing, found a quiet teahouse, and chatted while drinking.
Mr. Feng was also a cheerful person. He could tell everything he knew, and he quickly helped Lu Zhixing answer many of his questions.
At present, there are very few people practicing cold weapons in China, and they cannot be compared with those practicing unarmed combat.
There are many reasons for this, but they can be summed up in one sentence: training with cold weapons is not very cost-effective!
Practicing hand-to-hand combat can play a very good role in strengthening the body. It does not require too much investment, and if you can really practice it well, there are many ways to support yourself.
An ordinary person can get involved in hand-to-hand combat purely out of interest. It is nothing more than finding a gym or training class to practice first, and then investing more in it when you have gained some fame. In terms of equipment, the only thing needed may be to buy a pair of gloves. .
It can strengthen the body and be able to defend oneself if something happens. If it is really practiced, ordinary people can at least become a coach, not to mention those geniuses who participate in fighting competitions and become famous.
After all, there is still a market for hand-to-hand combat, and more people are willing to learn it.
But cold weapons are different.
The effect of strengthening the body is not obvious, because the use of weapons is more about skills or specific muscle groups, and the plasticizing effect is not obvious, and may even have counterproductive effects.
Self-defense is also impossible. In modern society, it is impossible to carry controlled knives with you, unlike in ancient society where you could carry swords and knives with you. And even if you really meet a gangster, if someone is killed with a cold weapon, it will be even worse.
Boxing, Jiu-Jitsu, and wrestling can actually defend yourself. Even Taekwondo and Sanda, which are considered weak in actual combat ability, can at least make you agile and avoid danger.
Only weapons are nothing without weapons.
The key is that the threshold for this thing is also high. It requires not only weapons, but also a full set of protective gear. A set of high-end protective gear costs tens of thousands, and even if you master it, there are not many people who like to play with cold weapons, so It is also very difficult to regain blood.
As for practicing martial arts and becoming famous enough to compete in competitions? That would be even less reliable.
Because compared to fighting, the speed of fighting is too fast, so it is actually less enjoyable to watch, and it is difficult for the audience to see the secret.
Take the fencing competition at the Olympic Games as an example. The audience can't even see clearly how many swords were struck by both sides in one round, let alone how many swords were struck. Apart from looking at the scoreboard, they can only It’s fun to watch.
Therefore, the current top fighting competitions in the world, such as boxing competitions or MMA competitions, are all fighting competitions, while military combat, such as fencing, is much less popular.
When it comes to specific weapons, the characteristics and training methods of different weapons are also different.
For example, spear thrusting relies heavily on the back muscles, so the back muscles of spear practitioners are often very developed; while single sword stabbing mainly relies on the wrist, so people who practice single sword have thicker forearms.
They also fight with cold weapons. Formation on the battlefield is one way of fighting, escorting escorts around the world is another way of fighting, and street fighting is another way of fighting.
Different playing styles correspond to different weapons, and different weapons correspond to different playing styles and training methods.
Therefore, if you want to make a variety of different weapons in "Sword Shadow and Rebellion", improve the combat details of each weapon, and add different scenes such as infantry combat and horse combat... this is not easy!
