Chapter 166: COSER Selection
ChinaJoy is about to open in July, and as the first time that Hanzhai University has participated in a large gathering, Zhou Yixuan is ready to carefully select some people to participate in this grand event. The focus is naturally on the main developers and voice actors of "Jianghu Heroes", while the members of several other idol groups appear as booth ladies.
In addition, a cosplay team will be formed, dressed as characters from "Jianghu Heroes' Dream", and perform at the booth. These people are mainly composed of students, and because there are quite a few people who like cosplay in Hantaku University, there is a big competition to determine the person in charge of each role in the final.
"Lu Xiaocheng, the matter of coser selection will be organized by your student union, and the only requirement is that the character must be a character from "Jianghu Game Dream". This is the information of all the characters, such as height and the like, which must be strictly adhered to within a certain range. In addition, the costumes have already been prepared by the school, so students do not have to make their own clothes. ”
Han Luoqi, the president of the teachers' union, called the president of the student union into the office and handed her a stack of materials. Zheng Lu was also present at the moment, and he and several original paintings would accompany Lu Xiaocheng as inspectors to review the selection.
"I see, so should the surname be strictly observed? How many students in our university have a very good talent for masquerading as women, is it forbidden for them to do that? ”
Lu Xiaocheng is a very capable and ruthless person, Zheng Lu is a little afraid to communicate with her head-on, just because Lu Xiaocheng's eyes are too sharp. Looking at her was like being pointed at her with a sharp blade, which made people feel uneasy from the bottom of their hearts. The question she said mainly refers to Ye Nan, who is very popular among the students, this guy is really high with his fake skills.
"Well, this, as long as it's not revealing, it's fine. In addition, the heroine has been confirmed to be performed by Guan Huaxuan, because she must sing the theme song during the performance, so this role will not be selected. ”
Han Luoqi probably heard some rumors about Ye Nan, so he nodded and agreed. Then after Lu Xiaocheng saluted, he led Zheng Lu and a few original paintings to the office of the student union. Because the competition will be held at the venue in the afternoon, Zheng Lu and they still have a lot of work.
"Teacher Zheng Lu, please authorize me to make an emergency notification of the auxiliary system. At the same time, the data of these characters is transferred to their computers. ”
Students do not have the right to turn on the emergency notification function of the auxiliary system, although it can be broadcast on campus, but the effect is obviously much weaker than the emergency notification, so Lu Xiaocheng will apply to Zheng Lu. Zheng Lu nodded in agreement, and turned on his auxiliary system, and after turning on the emergency notification, he asked Lu Xiaocheng to come over and give a notice.
"The students of the school, I am Lu Xiaocheng, the president of the student union, and I will issue a notice below. In order to form a cosplay team to participate in Chinajoy's exhibition, the school decided to select students from among them. All the characters are derived from "The Dream of Heroes", and now all the character information has been transferred to your personal computer. If you are not in a hurry to go back during the summer vacation and feel that you are qualified for the role, please register with the Student Council until 12 noon. All registered students are invited to meet at 3 p.m. in the second auditorium of the campus, where a competition will be conducted. ”
After Lu Xiaocheng finished speaking, he simply cut off the notice, and a student union official or something like that next to her came over and handed over a copy of the information.
"President, the venue has been set up. Because the teachers only brought one set of costumes, the arrangement of the evaluation was that all the characters took turns to upload, which was the layout of the scene. ”
Lu Xiaocheng took a brief look, and then said a word of hard work, and led Zheng Lu and them to the second auditorium.
"Wow, we've just arrived, and the venue has been set up, and the efficiency of the student union is really high."
"I can't stand it anymore. The president is so cool, and several of his subordinates are also capable, they are not from the same world as us. ”
Zheng Lu and Hanxiao whispered as they walked, Lu Xiaocheng seemed to hear it, looked back, Zheng Lu and Hanxiao quickly closed their mouths and stopped talking. After arriving at the venue, Zheng Lu and Hanxiao began some discussions on the determination of the scoring criteria, such as some requirements for appearance, body shape, temperament, etc.
"President Lu, let's take a look at the grading criteria, you are also one of the judges."
"Oh, no, I'm going to participate too, so I can't look at the scoring criteria. My vice president, Song Yue, will review it in my place. ”
Lu Xiaocheng said, and then pointed to Song Yue, who was guiding the work on the side. Song Yue Zheng Lu knew that he had been in his group for a while, but he didn't know that this Song Yue was the vice president of the student union. Compared with this, what surprised Zheng Lu even more was that it turned out that this cold girl also likes to play cosplay. Hanxiao next to her suddenly took out a picture, which was the CG of a ruthless female swordsman character in "Jianghu Knight's Dream".
"It's so similar, hey, I said she shouldn't run for this role, that's really invincible."
Zheng Lu and the others also came over, they didn't know if they didn't compare it before, but now they look like it.
"Actually, this female swordsman was created by me based on Lu Xiaocheng."
One of the original artists scratched his hair embarrassedly, and when he was assigned this task, he also had a headache for a while because this female swordsman was a relatively important role and had to be depicted carefully. Finally, when I was wandering around the school website, I saw a photo of the heroic Lu Xiaocheng beating people, and I was immediately inspired, so I created this female swordsman based on Lu Xiaocheng.
"You stinky boy has a set, and you actually thought of finding a real prototype. Having said that, this Lu Xiaocheng is really cool enough, if it is paired with a sword, then it will be a character who comes out of the painting. ”
He smiled and patted the original artist on the shoulder. Then everyone waited in the venue until 3 p.m., and all the registrants were already in place.
"There are a total of 325 applicants this time, and a total of 15 characters are participating in the election. However, there are several times more protagonist characters than his characters, so the protagonist characters will appear every three in the rotation system. ”
The previous cadre competently took out a piece of information and carefully introduced the general situation to Zheng Lu and them. Lu Xiaocheng is no longer here, and it is estimated that he is waiting for the election in the background. There are a total of fifteen changing rooms backstage, of course, separate for men and women. Fifteen people went in each time to change clothes, and then someone was responsible for taking the roll call on stage.
"Alright, the judging begins! No. 1, the chosen character is the male No. 1! ”
Next, it's time for the general election of these 325 students. Behind the stage, there will be a CG picture of the character, and the contestants only need to pose this pose, and the judges will score according to a series of criteria such as similarity.
After two hours of selection, only a few people passed the test, and some people just came with the mentality of having fun. The contestants who pass the pre-selection will have a second round of re-examination, and this re-examination is more complicated, gather the players of the corresponding role together, watch a short CG video of the character, and the contestants will perform it. This video has action, so the difficulty is much more difficult than the simple static modeling in the preliminary round.
Fortunately, the length of the video is relatively short, and the students who passed the preliminary round are also good at cosplay, so after a short period of action memory, the second round of semi-finals begins. The dynamic performance looks better than the static modeling, and Zheng Lu and they are also involved. One of the most memorable for them was Lu Xiaocheng's performance.
This girl is dressed in an ancient costume, holding a long sword, and she is a female swordsman alive. And the video of this character has footage of sword dancing, which has swiped a lot of people for this. Only Lu Xiaocheng can perform this movement to the end, and that sword dance made Zheng Lu and them even more amazed.
"Awesome! It's 100% similar, so I don't need to comment on it now. Having said that, how can ordinary people dance such a beautiful sword, has this Lu Xiaocheng practiced before? ”
"That's natural, President Lu has won the championship of the women's youth swordsmanship group in China before!"
Zheng Lu asked casually, but he didn't expect Song Yue to tell such a secret. Martial arts champion, no wonder it's so powerful.
"Oh, that's amazing, but how do you know?"
"Because I was the champion of the women's long boxing division that year! Of course I know. ”
Zheng Lu was speechless, the soft and weak woman in front of him was not simple, and she was deeply hidden. Although most of the martial arts are in the majority now, it is very difficult to really practice, and they are very human to be able to persist until they win the championship. Because the number of people in the re-examination was small, all the selections were completed after half an hour, and all 15 contestants were selected.
"Students, since you have used up the selection, you will not be able to go home until the end of Chinajoy. Of course, you won't be working day jobs, and Hantake University will pay you a performance fee, which has been handed over to the student council for safekeeping, but it will only be paid after Chinajoy is over. ”
After making the final evaluation, Zheng Lu's work was finally over, and just as he was about to go back, Fang Xin's voice came from behind. Because the selection was open this time, anyone was allowed to come in and watch, so she also came to watch the competition.
"Ah, I really want to go on stage, but it's a shame that this competition is limited to students."
Fang Xin also often plays cosplay, and the level is also very high. When she heard from Guan Huaxuan that the selection meeting was going to be held, she was happy for a while, but the result was limited to students, which made her extremely disappointed. And she can't participate in Chinajoy this time with Hanzhai University, so she can only enter as an ordinary tourist.
"Hehe, next year you will be a freshman at Hantaku University, and you will be able to participate in the next conference. When you see me, you're going to call a teacher, hahaha! ”
Zheng Lu had already recommended Fang Xin to the school, so next year Fang Xin would join Guan Huaxuan's group.
"If you want to be beautiful, I won't scream!"
Then they chatted for a while, and the two went to dinner. In the restaurant, I happened to run into Gao Zhipeng and his party. Although Gao Zhipeng's reputation in the school has become stinky, several teachers in the music department still have a good relationship with him. Today, a few of them made an appointment to come out for dinner together, but they didn't expect to meet Zheng Lu here.
"Teacher Zheng Lu, it's rare to meet, you might as well come over together."
The two sides were embarrassed, but Gao Zhipeng called Zheng Lu, and his tone was quite affectionate, and he didn't feel tense at all. Zheng Lu naturally wouldn't go over, and he didn't pay attention to Gao Zhipeng, and pulled Fang Xin to the other side to find a table and sit down. But Gao Zhipeng walked over unrelentingly and sat opposite Zheng Lu.
"Why bother, I did play some tricks to make amends to you here. Why don't I invite you to this meal, how about everyone laughing and hating? ”
"Excuse me, I can't stand your invitation from a tall and talented man. Fang Xin, let's order. Why, the tall and talented man sits and doesn't leave, he wants to eat a meal? ”
Although he wanted to leave immediately, he seemed to be afraid of Gao Zhipeng, so Zheng Lu also sat on the chair calmly and sneered. Gao Zhipeng's face changed a few looks, but in the end he endured it, but he really didn't leave, and continued to sit there and play a game of staring with Zheng Lu.
"Teacher Zheng Lu, don't blame us, everyone has a hard time. We were all disciples of Mr. Zhou Yixuan back then, and we went to study at the teacher's order, and then came to this university to teach. But a few of us don't really agree with making game music, we want to follow our own music path, if you don't believe it, you can ask them, do you like making game music? ”
Gao Zhipeng pointed to the teachers at his table, these were all students selected by Zhou Yixuan back then, they are now successful in their studies, and what they want most is to go outside to find an orchestra as a composer. Instead of being a teacher here, making music for vulgar games.
"Tall and talented, I really admire you, you can find such a high-sounding excuse. The reason why you were selected by Mr. Zhou back then was not because of how good you were in your studies, but because Mr. Zhou saw that your prospects were not good. Now that the half-house university has trained you, you want to pat your ass and leave, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world? ”
Gao Zhipeng's words seem to make sense, but Zheng Lu doesn't agree. These people are indeed young people in their bones, and they look down on games, but they can't forget the cultivation of Hanzhai University because of this. If it weren't for the materials in the half-house library, how could these people with not the best qualifications have the current skills.
The reason why Gao Zhipeng and these people haven't left until now is because of the ten-year contract back then, and if they can't fulfill it, they will have to pay huge compensation. In addition, they haven't finished reading the training materials of Hanzhai University, so they are stuck like this.
"Zheng Lu, don't be too complacent, the half-house immortal can help you for a while, but they can't help you for a lifetime. A few of us just made a decision that no one will make music for your group next year, and it's up to you to see what you do! Do you still need to ask for help from the half-house immortals? It's a shame, this game is labeled with your Zheng Lu's name, or is it a half-house immortal? ”
When Gao Zhipeng said this, he approached Zheng Lu's ear, and lowered his voice, and the expression on his face was also very harmonious, which did not match what he said at all. After finishing speaking, Gao Zhipeng laughed a few times, then turned around and said hello, and left with his friends.
"Damn, it's really poisonous!"
Zheng Lu scolded secretly. The teachers Gao Zhipeng contacted were all of high level in Banzhai University, and it was indeed a trouble without their support. If you want to make a first-class game, it's a flaw if you don't have first-class music. And Zheng Lu really doesn't want the half-house immortal to interfere again, because he wants to make a game by himself, and the half-house university also needs to get rid of the shadow of the half-house immortal, form its own style, and train a group of sustainable development teams.
"Zheng Lu, or I won't go to the idol group next year and go to the music department instead. I'm smart enough to learn how to compose and help you. ”
Fang Xin was kind and wanted to help Zheng Lu, but unfortunately composing music can be learned by saying that it can be learned.
"Fool, the teachers in the music department are not the only ones, it's a big deal that I'll find someone else."
Zheng Lu won't let his girlfriend change his mind because of this, so it seems that he can only lower his requirements and find other teachers to help.
Back in the dormitory, Zheng Lu opened the file of the music teacher and began to look through them one by one. Excluding the teachers in Gao Zhipeng's department, there are only four teachers left, and the level is at the bottom of them, after all, they have been studying formally for several years before going to Yueben. But in terms of qualifications and potential, these people are definitely higher than Gao Zhipeng, as long as the time comes, the level is definitely above them.
It's a pity that Zheng Lu is lacking time now, and after the summer vacation is over, there will be a new round of game development boom soon. This semester, many students have passed the first-level exam, and the Jade Pupil Jian handheld is also ready to go on the market, so it is impossible to rely only on the support of the half-house immortals, and the amount of game development next year is definitely not low.
"Brother Zheng Lu, what are you thinking?"
Huhua Xiaoxuan on the side tilted her head and lay on the table, looking at Zheng Lu's sad face, she couldn't help but ask. The glasses girl also came over curiously to hear which tendon was wrong with this kid. These two are family members, so Zheng Lu didn't want to hide it, so he told him what happened.
"These guys want to rebel! Little glasses, if you don't expel them, these people will eat for nothing if they stay in school anyway. ”
The glasses girl has a dry temper and gets angry right away. Hanzhai University is her home, and now she is naturally unhappy that someone is digging into the wall.
"Well, they just don't help my group make game music, and it's not that they don't help other people, even if they want to expel them, they have to find a legitimate reason."
Zheng Lu glanced at the glasses girl, this suggestion can be directly skipped. If they are expelled, there will be a serious shortage of teachers in the music department, and the impact will be too heavy. At least wait until the students evolve into teachers, so that they can be stabbed against these people.
"Got it, I've got a good idea!"
Fox Xiaoxuan suddenly clapped her hands and laughed.
