Chapter 162: Find the Peak of Motion Capture!

Chapter 162: Find the Peak of Motion Capture! (with update instructions for the next two months)
“The motion capture of the broadsword and the red tassel spear?” Lu Shinian was slightly startled when he heard the voice. “Is it… what you are going to use for the chapter about Mu Guiying?”

“Yes, yes, that’s what we need for the Mu Guiying chapter.” Xu Yichi nodded repeatedly, “The progress of the art team has been stuck here for a long time, and there has been no breakthrough so far.”

“The main reason is that we can’t find anyone with a martial arts background in our entire studio – there are one or two people who have studied classical dance for many years, but dancing!”

“That one is more gentle and more aesthetically pleasing. It has some strength, but it can’t produce the murderous aura that Xiaobai and Qingqing want.”

“It can’t escape the kind of solemn and desolate mood I want.”

“I want the kind of ‘swordplay’ that can reproduce the bloody atmosphere of the battlefield, is practical, and neat.” Producer Xu said as he stretched out his hands and gestured in the air, “I want to present a more realistic battlefield for players as much as possible.”

“But this is really difficult.” The little girl groaned and wilted, looking like an autumn eggplant beaten by wind and frost. “People really can’t imagine things beyond their own cognition.”

“I’ve never been to a battlefield… nor have I seen what a real life-and-death fight looks like.”

“I just know the feeling I want, but I can’t describe it well with words or pictures. It’s very mysterious and subtle.”

Xu Yichi smacked his lips and said, “Perhaps I won’t know what style of animation cutscene I want until I see a work that satisfies me.”

“I only know that what we have done so far is not satisfactory.”

“——Wow, I sound like a black-hearted boss who makes trouble all day long!” The little girl, whose mind had wandered to some unknown place, screamed, “So, Taoist Clamp, do you have any suitable candidate to recommend to us?”

“Of course, it would be even better if you could help introduce me. Hehehe… After all, you know the current situation of our studio. I don’t have the nerve to invite any big guys… Senior Gong Zhou, Senior Liu, and others are here only for Senior Dingdian’s sake!”

Xu Da made a very unreasonable remark, and naturally and smoothly pushed the task onto Lu Shinian.

The latter was silent for a moment after hearing this, then he rubbed his chin thoughtfully and said, “I do know a few people who can wield swords and guns.”

“But if we talk about the person who is most suitable to do the motion capture for the character of ‘Mu Guiying’, it has to be Senior Yang Yan’an himself.”

“——Master Xu, have you ever considered contacting Senior Yang directly?”

The young man gave the best advice directly. Xu Yichi widened his eyes in confusion when he heard it: “Hey, the top senior also has this trick?”

“Her small body looks even smaller than the spear… can she really wield the red tassel spear?”

——Her dear and lovely senior would not be crushed to the ground by that heavy thing just when he swung his gun!
She had touched the red tasseled spear, a prop used by the Hanfu Club for taking photos in the school club before. It was really cool, but also really heavy.

No wonder there have always been more number one scholars in literature than number one scholars in martial arts throughout history… Anyone who can wear dozens of kilograms of armor, sit on a horse and wield a gun must be a group of extremely ruthless people!

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it.” Lu Shinian bared his white teeth and smiled very coolly, “This little thing won’t be a problem for her.”

“Master Xu, don’t forget that Senior Yang is not a normal human being. She is a demon spirit that has lived for a thousand years. Not to mention that she was born from the belief of the ‘Yang Family Generals’ series of legends, and is naturally better at wielding swords and guns than other demons.”

“Just talking about her age – from the Northern Song Dynasty to the founding of the present, how many wars did she experience during the four or five dynasties in between? She really went to the battlefield, wielded swords and guns, and saw the devastation and smoke everywhere.”

“She doesn’t know any fancy moves at all – I guess she only knows the kind of lethal moves that can draw blood and kill people in one blow.”

“——What you should worry about is not whether she can wield the red tassel spear.” Lu Shinian said in a cold tone.

“——You should be worried about whether the swords and guns prepared by your studio are strong enough to withstand her actual combat style.” “Ordinary movie props can’t withstand her manipulation, but the price of fine iron and pure steel is too expensive, and it is easy to pierce through our wooden floor.”

“——Before you ask her to shoot motion capture footage, it’s best to prepare a few more solid wooden swords and guns for her. I think most of the solid wooden ones will suit her better, but they will break quickly.”

“This… this.” Xu Yichi was frightened and looked confused. “Okay, okay, Taoist Jiazi, thank you for your reminder.”

“Then I’ll go back and contact Senior Dianfeng right now… and ask the art and modeling staff to prepare a batch of new props for the shoot!”

“And there’s another thing… Oh, yes, yes, I was so busy talking about animal capture that I almost forgot about another important matter.”

Finally realizing that he had come to hire Lu Shinian as their special consultant, Xu Dazao suddenly raised his hand and slapped his forehead, his eyes almost overflowing with regret: “Master Jiazi, please come back with me to sign our employment contract first – I will contact Senior Dianfeng later!”

“…Okay, Master Xu, no problem, Master Xu.” Lu Shinian followed suit and obediently followed Xu Yichi back to the courtyard. The next second after signing the contract, he was forcibly expelled from the territory on the grounds that “it was sorry to disturb him while he was chanting scriptures and practicing.”

……Ah.

Women’s mouths are deceiving… The majority of netizens are not deceiving him.

——I don’t know who asked him in a playful manner whether he knew any motion capture actors.

Seeing himself being thrown out of the door like this, Lu Shinian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He twitched the corners of his lips a little stiffly, stood at the door, secretly criticized the little girl in his heart, and then went back to run errands for his master.

At that time, Xu Yichi had just sent a “help” message to Yang Yanan on WeChat, and was now anxiously waiting for the little girl’s response.

——I don’t know if the top senior can pay attention to her.

Xu Dazao was worried. When she looked down, she found that Yang Yanan had replied to her message without her knowing when.

——A small “.”

…Why is it a period? ?

Xu Yichi stared blankly, puzzled, when her screen suddenly went dark – Comrade Dianfeng, who always acted casually and willfully, decisively hung up the video call with her after sending “.”

The girl looked at the ferocious cat head in the middle of the screen and hurriedly clicked to answer the call.

First of all, I have to state that I really don’t have the bad habit of digging holes without filling them. There are too many holes that are not completed this year, which is purely coincidental. !
Because the essay competition for Huangshan and film and television ended in January, and there was a particular lack of essays for these two areas (mainly lacking essays that would satisfy the organizers), so I was asked to write about Huangshan again! !

But this book will still be finished well, but due to urgent circumstances, I have to write the one that is about to be finished first, so I will try my best to write two pages a day for this book in the next two months. If I really don’t have time or it’s too late, I will just give it up!
This year, the main reason was that I suddenly fell ill in June. I had trouble eating and had little energy for two or three months, so I didn’t write much. It wasted too much time, and as a result, I didn’t finish Lao Yi and Lao Tai, which should have been finished. I haven’t finished this one either, and I have to continue working on a new book.

I swear to God, I had originally planned to finish one book and start another, but who knew I would get this disease!

And now, I still have three books to finish, one to start, and I have promised someone to write a short or medium-length film or TV script next year…

Five books.

Why am I not an octopus? Why don’t I have eight arms?
