Superstars of Tomorrow

Chapter 18: Dragon Elephant Tianluo

Views:

Heroes in the era of extinction cannot be avatars at will. When virtual idols were first developed, some companies did use the images of fighting heroes in the era of extinction in order to attract people, but after playing around, the character design collapsed. .

Therefore, after that, the virtual idol world is not allowed to use the real heroes of the era of extinction, and the names are not allowed. If you really want to use the avatar, you have to apply for it again and again, and you can only use it after approval. Otherwise, see you in court.

The comrades-in-arms can't be used, and Fang Zhao didn't even think about using his previous image. The others are here, and he can do whatever he wants to fight in person. There is no need to play virtual.

But let Fang Zhao choose by himself, he must choose the people and things that he feels the most deeply. Since the real person in the last days can't be used, he will use other things instead.

For two days, in addition to eating and sleeping, Fang Zhao has been in the corner, drawing and changing, and then completing a first draft. He is not a painter, his painting skills are limited, and professional things must be done by professional talents. He is only determining a general image now, and he will ask others to improve it later.

It was noon again, and it was getting brighter outside the window.

In front of Fang Zhao, there was a sketch drawn on the sheet of paper spread out on the work table. Although the drawing was not clear and detailed enough, it was only a rough sketch. Anyone could see that it was a tree.

Fang Zhao took a deep breath, he didn't know if this step was correct, but this was what he was thinking now.

"Dragon Elephant Tianluo."

Dragon Elephant Tianluo, a common plant in the apocalypse, no one knows what they were like before the apocalypse, but looking at the scale, it should be very common, very widespread, and found all over the world. After the end of the world, many plants died, and there was a new round of mass extinction, but some survived through mutation, such as the dragon elephant Tianluo.

The name of Longxiang Tianluo was chosen by a botanist, but unfortunately that botanist passed away in the early days of the end of the world. No one knows what his name is, but the name of Longxiang Tianluo is always called by people. come over.

When most plants could not hold on, this tree survived in the apocalypse and became a huge number of plants in the apocalypse that are not only non-toxic but also have medicinal value. In the last days, many medicines were extracted from it.

When setting up the avatar, Fang Zhao thought of a chat with some old friends at a party—

"Lao Zhao, tell me, do we look like a dragon like Tianluo? Before the apocalypse, how ordinary it was, I would keep the prison and Su Mu would herd the cattle..."

"Old Xi, you're wrong, I'm herding sheep." Su Mu, who was sitting beside him, corrected.

"It's all the same. Look at the old call, the shepherd, the teacher, the prison guard, and you, the composer, are all ordinary people. In the end of the world, they have all changed. It's not just us, who can live to the present. Human, which one still looks like before? It's not for the name, no matter what it becomes, everything is just for survival."

Many wooden tools used in the last days are the wood of the dragon elephant Tianluo tree, as well as the medicines extracted from them, which can help some people prevent diseases in the last days. It can be said that the dragon elephant Tianluo walked through the end times together with human beings.

Someone once joked that Dragon Elephant Tianluo was another comrade-in-arms of mankind.

Fang Zhao collected the picture, washed his face and went downstairs.

Seeing Fang Zhao coming downstairs again after three days, Yue Qing and Ai Wan came to ask curiously.

"You've been locked in the house for the past few days to create?"

"Yeah." Fang Zhao bought some food from Yueqing's shop and basked in the sun while eating.

"It's not easy for you creators, you waste your brains." Ai Maru sighed.

After chatting with Yue Qing and Ai Maru for a while, when the sun on the black street disappeared, Fang recalled the house to tidy up his things, carried his bag to Silver Wing Company, and went directly to the 50th floor.

Zu Wen wondered if he played all-night games at the company again last night, and Fang Zhao called him several times before he responded.

"Who are you... Oh! The new producer!" Zu Wen was so sleepy that he almost forgot that there was a call from the virtual project department, but he remembered it in time.

"Have you thought about the image?" Zu Wen asked with a yawn.

"The sketch is confirmed." Fang Zhao opened the notebook and placed it in front of Zu Wen.

Zu Wen stared at the unfolded page in the record book for two seconds, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it seriously. After a long while, he said, "It's either that I didn't wake up, or you're crazy."

When Zu Wen saw what was drawn on the paper, his first reaction was disbelief. Why are you kidding me? !

"If I'm not mistaken, you're drawing... a tree?"

Zu Wen has thought about what kind of image Fang Zhao will give him in the past two days, and even thought that Fang Zhao will not be like the previous project staff who put together several virtual idols, the nose of this, the eyes of that, Who's face, who's body, etc., only did not think that Fang Zhao would give him a tree.

People, beasts, gods, and monsters have all launched avatars before, but as a virtual worker, Zu Wen has never seen a company push a plant.

That's all for the plant image, it has to be a little more distinctive, right? For example, it is a little more cute, a little more attractive, and a little fancy. It is not bad to attract people, but Fang Zhao is an alternative.

Dude, are you trying to make it a mudslide in the contemporary virtual idol world? !

Zu Wen glared at Fang Zhao, seeing Fang Zhao really nodding his head to confirm, suddenly a face of despair with a bleak future.

"What kind of tree is this?" Zu Wen pointed to the painting on the paper, eager to pierce the paper.

"Dragon Elephant Tianluo."

"what?"

"It's the Tianluo tree that you are particularly familiar with."

"When did the Tianluo tree have the name 'Dragon Elephant Tianluo'?" In doubt, Zu Wen directly used the computer on the table to find it.

"Tianluoshu, also known as Dragon Elephant Tianluo, is a product of the era of extinction, and is known as the dragon elephant of the plant world during the era of extinction..." I read the information displayed on the screen word for word, without any trace of the original text. I'm sorry, "Sorry, I never got a pass in botany, it's the first time I know it has this name."

"You really want to do this? I mean, have you told Du Guan?" Zu Wen asked.

"Du Guan has been busy recently and has no time." Fang Zhao said.

"Understood." No matter whether Duang is really busy or fake, he doesn't want to worry about it, so now the virtual project department has to listen to Fang Zhao's producer.

"How long will it take you to get its avatar out?" Fang Zhao asked.

"According to the image you gave, it will take about a week for the initial image. Don't be too slow, after all, I am the only one, this is fast enough."

The initial image is like a draft of a drawing, it is only the first step of this image, and there will be revisions and image enrichment in the future.

Compared with real idols, virtual idols have the advantage that their shape changes are unlimited.

beautify? How can a tree be so beautiful? Even anthropomorphic trees are not aesthetically pleasing.

Qization? It's okay to make it cute.

Zu Wen was thinking about how to remodel in the future, when he heard Fang Zhao ask: "Do you need to prepare MV for the launch of virtual idols?"

"Generally speaking, that's right. Oh, yes, speaking of this, you have to start preparing for soul casting." Zu Wen said.

The determination of the shape is only the first step, after which there are more important steps of casting the soul.

The so-called soul casting is the process of injecting life into it, that is, the character's background, voice, character, etc.

What is the background of ta? from where? What character

The purpose is to let the audience know more about him.

It's a process of casting the soul.

The debut of virtual idols is generally associated with MVs, such as Niguang and Lushan Shihua. The MVs were launched when Xunhuai and Phyllis were launched in the rookie competition.

Generally speaking, for the virtual idols of the new century, the mv of the first song will tell others their birth background and style.

Launching a virtual idol is also a process of making up stories. Maybe no one cares at first, but what if it becomes popular in the future? To make up

The virtual team has already made plans for the next hundred steps before taking the first step.

If it's just perfunctory, you can, feel free, how easy it is, but if you want to be serious, you have to make adequate preparations.

Why is the investment in virtual projects so big, because there are so many things involved.

"I can do the initial image design by myself. You have to hurry up to find the sound source, and you have to find other technicians. The professional sound system has to be done by professional people. My strengths are not in that. Supplementary technicians It's for sure, I'll be the only one who will be busy in the future. Whether it's recruiting new people or borrowing people from other departments, it's best to decide in advance. As for the sound source... There are so many songs in our company, just find one. " Zuwen said.
