Chapter 280 Looking for Actors
Lu Zhixing didn't 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 is also not polite: "Okay, then I will talk about my opinion first, if there is anything lacking, I will add it!"

If someone else said "follow-up supplement", then Li Rushan must think it is an excuse. Who doesn't know that Li Rushan is rushing to spend a lot of money when he opens his mouth. Even if other people want to supplement, can they still find an angle to supplement?

But the road is always different.

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

So it's the same this time, Li Rushan talked about his plan with confidence, while looking forward to what kind of 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 the previous practice of "Unique Martial Arts", and even upgrade it! We used professional actors and superstars before, so the new game can't go back and forth, right?

"We must also benchmark 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 Liaoyuan" does not have this problem at all.

Obviously, "Sword Shadow Liaoyuan" cannot be made into a movie or TV series, so the cost of this piece 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 about it. The two models correspond to the two film and television works of the Old Three Kingdoms and the New Three Kingdoms.

"The method of the New Three Kingdoms should be a method with high feasibility, with a high lower limit and a lower upper limit. All the actors who are relatively popular and well-known in China are sought, and the costumes, makeup, props, etc. are also as far as possible in the current film and television city. relatively well under the conditions.

"Let's do it this way. It is estimated that we can do something similar to the 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 it is against the old Three Kingdoms, then the lower limit is low and the upper limit is high. We will directly start auditions across the country, and find four or five top directors to cast together! We will strive to find the most suitable actors.

"Including some actors who filmed the old Three Kingdoms back then, we can also invite them to sit in and guide, and reproduce the classics as much as possible!
"However, this method may reshape the classics, or it may be fragmented. And the investment should be quite large. I haven't calculated the specific amount of investment, but it is likely to exceed 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 full of ambition.

Obviously, he still prefers the shooting method of the New Three Kingdoms.This approach, although the lower limit is high, but the upper limit is low. Considering the overall cost of shooting, there is no film and television, and most of the games alone will not be able to pay back the cost.

As for the filming method of the Old Three Kingdoms, it wasn't that Li Rushan didn't want to do it, the key was 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 [-] 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 there is a gap between directors and actors on the one hand, but there is also a very important aspect on money.In fact, the New Three Kingdoms only invested 1.6 million yuan, and the filming period was more than ten months, so in terms of texture, there is also a big lack.

Li Rushan felt that no matter which method he adopted, he could remain 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, which 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 some people who prefer the New Three Kingdoms, but they are a minority after all. When it comes to classics, the New Three Kingdoms were killed by the old Three Kingdoms. Not to mention that some of the new Three Kingdoms are not suitable because of the director's personal preferences. The casting of actors and inappropriate lines, even the performance of those first-line movie stars in New Three Kingdoms is actually hard to say is perfect.

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

"The reason lies in the comparison. The old Three Kingdoms itself is already a miracle that cannot be replicated. The reason why this classic was born is largely due to the background of the times at that time. In this era, no matter how you shoot, I am afraid it has already I can't get that feeling anymore.

"What's more, we are not a film and television drama. Even if the salary is enough, it is difficult to gather these first-line actors in the New Three Kingdoms. That is to say, the best effect we have produced is still a bit worse than the New Three Kingdoms.

"Can you still watch this?

"As for the method of the old Three Kingdoms, it is even more unfeasible.

"At that time, so many classic characters could be selected with the power of the whole country, but it doesn't mean that the same amount of resources can be selected now.

"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 definitely find the face model and the body model 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.

“As for the plot, lines and performances, we can definitely find those old artists from the Three Kingdoms and invite them to come and make guest appearances.

"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!"
