Play Game of Life

Lu Zhixing did not answer immediately, but chose to kick the ball back first: "What do you think, Mr. Li? I think your opinion should be considered first on this matter. I can add more after you finish speaking."

Li Rushan was not polite: "Okay, let me tell you my opinion first. If there is anything missing, I will add it later!"

If someone else said "subsequent supplement", then Li Rushan would definitely think it was an excuse. Who wouldn't know that Li Rushan was just rushing to spend a lot of money when he said it? Even if others want to supplement, can they still find an angle to supplement it?

But the road is always different.

When Li Rushan put forward opinions several times before, Lu Zhixing really added them, and Li Rushan felt that his supplements were very reasonable.

So it was the same this time. Li Rushan spoke of his plans with confidence while looking forward to what supplementary plan Lu Zhixing would give.

“Actually, I have been thinking about actors when I was inspecting the venue.

"I think we have to continue what we did in "Doubo Martial Arts" before, and even upgrade it! The ones we used before were all professional actors and superstars. You can't go back to the old days with the new game, right?

"We must also benchmark against film and television works!"

Li Rushan's wishful thinking was quite perfect. Why did "Dubu Martial Arts" fail and make money? The bottom line is not that it used professional actors, but that it was released!

But "Sword Shadow Sets the Prairie Fire" does not have this problem at all.

Obviously, "Sword Shadow and Catastrophe" cannot be made into a movie or TV series, so the cost will basically not be recovered. If you continue to use film and television actors, it will easily cause losses.

Li Rushan continued: "As for what kind of film and television works to target, I think that the two models correspond to the two film and television works of the Old Three Kingdoms and the New Three Kingdoms.

"The approach adopted by the New Three Kingdoms should be a relatively feasible one, with a high lower limit and a low upper limit. We have chosen relatively popular and well-known actors in the country, and the costumes, makeup, props, etc. are all in the current film and television city as much as possible. Relatively well done under the conditions.

"If we follow this, we will probably be able to do something similar to New Three Kingdoms. The plot of the game itself will be weakened a bit. If we add some original plots and add some special effects, it should be okay.

"If we compare it to the other three countries, the lower limit is lower and the upper limit is higher. We will directly start auditions across the country and find four or five top famous directors to cast together! We will strive to find the most suitable actors.

"Including some of the actors who filmed Lao Sanguo back then, we can also invite them to direct and recreate the classics as much as possible!

"But, this method may reshape the classics, or it may produce scattered pictures. Moreover, the investment should be quite large. I haven't calculated the specific investment, but it is likely to be beyond the current tolerance of our company.

"But don't worry, Mr. Lu, no matter how much money you spend, you will follow me even if I try to sell you something!"

Li Rushan's speech can be said to be impassioned and ambitious.

Obviously, he still prefers the shooting style of the New Three Kingdoms. Although the lower limit of this approach is high, the upper limit is low. Considering the shooting cost, it is probably impossible to make back the money without film and television and relying on games alone.

As for the shooting method of Lao Sanguo, it's not that Li Rushan didn't want to do it, the key is that he felt that the money was simply not enough.

When "The Three Kingdoms" was filmed, the main actors were paid several hundred yuan, and nearly 200 million was invested in the film. If it were made now, wouldn't this be at least ten times higher?

The reason why the New Three Kingdoms is not as good as the Old Three Kingdoms is that on the one hand there is a gap between directors and actors, but on the other hand it is also very important because of money. The New Three Kingdoms actually only invested 160 million, and the filming period lasted for more than ten months, so there was also a lot of shortcomings in terms of texture.

Li Rushan felt that no matter which method he adopted, he would be invincible!

Lu Zhixing thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Li, I think these two methods may have some minor problems."

Li Rushan hurriedly said: "Huh? Mr. Lu, can you tell me in detail?"

Lu Zhixing explained: "First of all, the first method is to shoot according to the New Three Kingdoms. This can indeed maintain a good lower limit, but the problem is that the reputation of the New Three Kingdoms is not very good.

"Of course, there are indeed some people who prefer New Three Kingdoms, but they are a minority after all. When it comes to classics, New Three Kingdoms is outshone by the old Three Kingdoms. Not to mention that some of the arrangements in New Three Kingdoms are not suitable due to the director's personal preferences. The casting and inappropriate lines, as well as the performance of those first-line movie stars in New Three Kingdoms, are actually hardly perfect.

“Even some veteran actors’ performances in the film have been criticized.

"The reason is still due to comparison. The Lao Sanguo itself is already a miracle that cannot be copied. The reason why this classic was born is largely due to the background of the times. In this era, no matter how you shoot it, I am afraid it has already I can’t capture that feeling anymore.

"What's more, we are not a film and television drama. Even if we are paid enough, it will be difficult to recruit these first-line actors from the New Three Kingdoms. In other words, the best effect we can produce is still inferior to that of the New Three Kingdoms.

"Can you still watch this?

“As for the method adopted by the Lao Sanguo, it is even more unfeasible.

“At that time, the whole country was able to select so many classic characters, but that doesn’t mean that it can be done now with the same amount of resources.

"Those actors from the Old Three Kingdoms, no matter in appearance, temperament, acting skills, or even spiritual core, are highly consistent with the original characters. It can be said that they are specially looking for special actors. Even if they want to look for them now, they can't find them at all.

"We are now looking for it according to this method, which is tantamount to asking for a sword."

Li Rushan hesitated for a while: "Then Mr. Lu, what do you mean we won't hold auditions? There's no need to even find actors?"

If this is done, the cost will definitely drop significantly. Li Rushan is definitely not very happy, but what Lu Zhixing said is indeed well-founded, and he can't think of a good reason to refute it for the time being.

But what he didn't expect was that Lu Zhixing shook his head: "I didn't say that."

Li Rushan: "Huh?"

Lu Zhixing explained: "The audition still has to be selected. Since we want to shoot in real life, of course we must select the person who best fits the role in terms of appearance."

Li Rushan was a little confused: "However, the candidates selected in this way may not necessarily have acting skills. There are so many first-line actors used in the New Three Kingdoms, and many performances are still criticized. We audition from amateurs, even if we find the appearance If it fits, it won’t work if your acting skills are not up to par.”

Lu Zhixing smiled slightly: "This is simple, who said that you must pass the acting skills?

"We can look for face models and body models separately!

"During the audition, we are facing the national audition. We don't need any requirements for acting skills, we only need to have a high similarity in appearance. These people are all doing phantoms and are responsible for basic motion collection.

"When it comes to the plot, lines and performances, we can definitely find those old artists from the old Three Kingdoms and invite them to come over.

"Many foreign game manufacturers have tried this kind of operation of separating the face model from the body model, and the effect is good. Even these big companies will split the main role players into three or four: a body model , a face model, and a dubbing. If you subdivide it further, you can even separate the motion capture actors separately.

"On the one hand, this is to make the game characters more in line with expectations, to collect the best body, face and movements separately, and on the other hand, it is also to prevent the characters from being overly tied to the motion-capture actors.

"We can also search separately, it's nothing more than doubling the number of actors we need to find!"
