Chapter 304 It's just crazy
After Lin Yao gave a clear actor testing process and production process.
Chen Qiuwen also had a bottom line in his heart.
He began to look for suitable actors who could accept acting in the game.
Lin Yao did not ask about this matter, and there was no way to ask.
Because she was not familiar with the actors and stars in this world...
she could only leave it to Chen Qiuwen.
Chen Qiuwen also knew that Lin Yao was not familiar, so he finally pulled in a familiar person-Zhu Nianqiao.
Zhu Nianqiao was quite interested in this matter.
She began to help Chen Qiuwen determine the candidates with great care.
In the end, the two determined three actors based on the background story of "Witch" given by Lin Yao and many aspects of the protagonist setting.
Two candidates for the male lead and one candidate for the female lead.
These three people are not the kind of popular stars.
That kind of person is too expensive, and the effect may not be very good...
The entertainment industry here is quite similar to Lin Yao's previous life.
If you really want to pursue traffic, choose a popular young actor.
There will definitely be traffic.
But it is estimated that the art staff will be exhausted, and it may also make most players feel bad.
So Zhu Nianqiao and Chen Qiuwen chose actors who were well-known, had recognized acting skills, and were well-known among male gamers.
After all, games
are dominated by men.
They contacted the agency that selected the candidates and told them about the matter.
But the other party seemed confused.
Games?
Motion capture?
They are actors?
Chen Qiuwen patiently explained it to them.
After listening, the other party barely understood it, but couldn't make up their minds for a while.
They could only say that they would consider it.
Chen Qiuwen had no choice but to wait patiently for a reply.
Lin Yao paid a little attention to this matter, but didn't take it too seriously.
She didn't object to this matter, because it was quite common to use celebrities in games in the past, but at the beginning, they usually voiced game characters.
But there are also examples of real actors acting in it.
For example, Beyond: Two Souls in the PS3 era.
The Yakuza series.
Detroit: Become Human.
There are also more famous Death Stranding and Cyberpunk 2077.
There are successful examples among them.
There are also failed examples. There are
also examples that are not sure whether they are failures or successes... Well, I'm talking about Johnny Silverhand.
You think inviting celebrities is useful...
It is indeed useful.
Although it may not necessarily bring any practical effect to the sales of the game,
after all, the performance of the actors has nothing to do with the game itself, nor with the quality. Few players will buy a game for the participation of a certain actor.
Players are still picky, and the quality of a game is the fundamental factor that determines their purchase of the game.
The participation of film and television stars is more of a publicity gimmick, which is indeed a menu-like effect for players who want to buy this game.
"Witch" is the first pure stand-alone masterpiece of Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao is willing to pay some extra costs for this game.
As long as the other party is willing to participate, he also agrees with the request.
But no.
It doesn't matter.
There is no need to pay special attention.
...
"Games?"
Xiang Chen looked at his agent, puzzled: "How can I act in games?"
"Motion capture, I don't quite understand what they said... Anyway, there are a lot of things. I looked it up and it should be the same thing as 3D movies. Set up a tracker on the body, and then transfer the performance to the computer, which is similar to a green screen."
The agent looked helpless: "In addition, I also checked the other party's company. It is indeed very famous in the game circle recently. Your assistant has heard of it. It is precisely because of this that I am telling you."
"This..."
Xiang Chen hesitated.
When facing an unfamiliar field, people will always hesitate.
He is the same.
During this period, he has starred in a very popular TV series, with good acting skills and likable roles. His career is on the rise.
There are quite a lot of announcements recently.
Chen Qiuwen and Zhu Nianqiao contacted him for this reason.
But on one side is the announcement of a TV series he is familiar with, and on the other side is a game.
Xiang Chen really prefers the TV series he is familiar with.
He thought about it and asked, "How long will this game take?"
The agent gave a date.
"Forget it then."
Xiang Chen shook his head immediately after hearing this. He didn't play games and wasn't familiar with them. In addition, he had been receiving invitations to appear in TV dramas recently, and the pay offered was almost double that of the past...
In the end, he decided to choose a more familiar field.
"Okay, I'll reply to the other side. You should have a good rest. There will be another announcement later."
The agent nodded, walked out of the lounge, and came to the corridor entrance.
Prepare to call Linmu Studio back.
The call was quickly connected.
The agent replied to the other end and explained the reason for the rejection.
The other party is not a small studio.
Maybe there will be a possibility of cooperation in the future.
Maintaining a good relationship may open up more options.
So she was particularly polite.
The people on the other side of Linmu Studio were also very polite, expressing understanding, and then thanked each other for their troubles and hung up the phone.
The agent breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go back.
But when he turned around,
he found someone standing behind him.
"... You scared me."
The agent was shocked when he saw someone behind him, and almost jumped up.
"Sorry, Sister Zhang, let me ask, is the Linmu Studio you mentioned that Linmu Studio? The Linmu Studio that made "Hero"!?"
The man apologized and then asked quickly, with an excited look on his face.
"What hero?"
Agent Sister Zhang said unhappily.
This person is called Zhang Seng, who was once an artist under her. He graduated from the same performing arts school as Xiang Chen, but because his appearance is not outstanding and he does not have Xiang Chen's fate, he has been tepid and even almost cold.
At the same time, as Xiang Chen's fame rose,
the agent Zhang Jie also changed from being the agent of multiple artists in the company to being the agent of Xiang Chen alone.
Zhang Seng is now managed by someone else.
"It's the hottest game recently."
Zhang Seng said excitedly, "It's really fun."
"You should pay more attention. You just play and play. You're almost forgotten."
Sister Zhang said unhappily.
Zhang Seng is not bad. His only shortcoming is that he likes to play.
"Failed? Have I ever been popular?" Zhang Seng asked back naively.
"..."
Sister Zhang was speechless and could only warn him. Then she told Zhang Seng about the fact that Lin Mu Studio was looking for an actor.
There is nothing to hide.
Although Zhang Seng is not under her management now,
the two have always had a good relationship. After all, they were people who shared hardships together.
After hearing what his agent Sister Zhang said, Zhang Seng's eyes lit up, and then he said seriously: "Sister Zhang, I beg you for something, I solemnly beg you for something..."
Sister Zhang: "..."
"Can you push me to Linmu Studio? Their games, and they also want to invite celebrity masterpieces, I want to participate! I really want to participate! Even if I don't need to be paid, please!"
Zhang Seng bowed hard, and it was indeed solemn.
Sister Zhang was slightly startled: "No, no pay..."
She couldn't understand.
She was not a gamer, and participating in commercial cooperation without money...
For her, it was simply crazy.
But seeing Zhang Seng's attitude, she knew... that the other party was serious.
