"How about it? Is our set-up realistic?" Coach Liu, the martial arts instructor who was responsible for her one-on-one training, came over with a smile.
Su Lingxi withdrew her gaze and nodded with surprise.
It was written in the script that the City of Bliss is a place for players to rest, entertain and relax. It is also a virtual city created by creatures of a higher dimension than Blue Planet.
However, Su Lingxi really didn't expect that the crew could restore the set to this extent - adding some holographic special effects, it was exactly the same as what was written in the script.
"Director Zhao has put a lot of effort into making you feel more involved." Coach Liu patted her shoulder with a smile, "Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to the special training ground to familiarize you with the environment."
It is called a training ground, but in fact it is just an empty room with a wooden floor. Protective gear, bamboo swords and wire ropes are prepared in advance for her to practice. Occasionally, a cameraman who specializes in shooting behind-the-scenes footage will come in and film her.
"The previous samurai sword was too heavy, and it was difficult to show lightness when swinging it, so Director Zhao specially changed the sword for you to use." Coach Liu took a few steps forward and handed her a narrower and longer samurai sword.
The scabbard is brightly colored, with black and gold interwoven with rich indigo blue. A budding camellia is outlined at the tail, and the painting technique is very delicate.
The blade is thin and sharp, shining brightly under the light, with smooth curves, showing the artistic beauty of exquisite craftsmanship.
Su Lingxi took the handle of the knife with both hands and tried to wield it. It was indeed much lighter than the previous knife, weighing only three or four pounds at most.
She had practiced kendo lessons in her [Private Space] for more than a month in advance, practicing for several hours each time. Her muscle mass had increased a lot, and now she could wield the knife easily.
Seeing how she could easily perform frontal strikes, chops, and body strikes, Coach Liu's eyes lit up with surprise.
Although he realized as early as the day of the audition that the girl in front of him looked weak but actually had a solid foundation and should not be underestimated, he did not expect that her kendo had improved so much after just one month of not seeing her.
"Since you already have a certain foundation, we can increase the difficulty of our training." Coach Liu put down the theoretical textbook in his hand, turned around and picked up the bamboo sword: "Today, we will practice with bamboo swords. You attack and I defend. Use both the main attack and counterattack techniques that you are good at."
Seeing his confident look, Su Lingxi no longer hid his skills. He raised his sword, took a big step forward, and then quickly lowered his sword, performing three combo attacks along his bamboo sword. The attacks were accurate, fast, and had a wide range.
Then came a series of dazzling quick attacks such as flicking, repelling, and one-handed stabbing. Coach Liu's eyes were filled with excitement. Even the cameraman who was shooting the behind-the-scenes footage in the corner couldn't help but be excited by this scene that resembled a competition arena.
After a competition, Coach Liu looked more and more satisfied.
Kendo is a sport that requires great skill and strategy. The girl in front of me is very good at using tricks and techniques to make up for the difference in strength between men and women, which shows that she has rich practical experience - you know, this kind of combat awareness can't be developed overnight.
"You did a great job in hitting the opponent, thrusting, and counterattacking. I can tell that you practiced before joining the group."
"But the offensive momentum can be stronger. You should hold on to the idea that you can win no matter what, and fight your opponent majestically. This will also have a better shooting effect."
Su Lingxi raised her hand and wiped the sweat off her face with a towel. "Teacher Liu, if we use a real samurai sword for filming, will the movements be different?"
Most of the kendo gyms now use bamboo swords for training, and the movements tested are relatively gentle, and will at most only leave bruises on the opponent.
However, according to the game settings in the "Player Self-Save Guide", Jiang Ruochu is the absolute combat force. He wields a samurai sword with great vigor, agility and neatness, and his moves are quick, accurate and ruthless, often able to kill an enemy with one blow.
"Don't worry. The martial arts training will not end for another half a month. You should practice with the bamboo sword for the next two days. When you can control the bamboo sword with complete precision, we will switch to the knife." Coach Liu said with a smile, "Tomorrow afternoon I will teach you some fighting techniques that focus on close combat. You must rest well at night. You will consume a lot of energy during this period. You won't gain weight even if you eat more, so you don't have to worry about body management."
Su Lingxi nodded without surprise and decided to go back to his [private space] in the evening to do another hour of physical training.
She had noticed when she was reading the script that Jiang Ruochu had a strong fighting consciousness and fighting skills, and could even gain the upper hand in a bare-handed fight. So she spent 200 points to buy a Sanda class in the [Training Room], and would practice when she had nothing to do. Even if she couldn't improve much in the short term, at least she could lay a solid foundation.
Half a month of martial arts training time passed quietly. After more than ten days of high-intensity training, Su Lingxi's abs and arm lines were much clearer than before.
Jia Jia felt so distressed watching her getting up early and practicing late every day, and reading the script after returning to the hotel at night.
"The martial arts training ended yesterday. How about taking a day off today?"
Su Lingxi took the sports drink she handed over and smiled, "Basic physical training must be done every day. If you choose to be lazy today, you will be even less willing to move tomorrow."
What Su Lingxi didn't say was that after filming started, the physical energy consumption might be greater than Wu Xun's, so she had to prepare in advance.
Compared to her previous roles, Jiang Ruochu's character is undoubtedly the most unique one, and can even be called a subversion - in order to make more audiences accept her new role, she must do better.
Two days before the start of filming, the official Weibo account of "Player Self-Saving Guide" sent out three Weibo posts in a row, announcing the shooting posters and character makeup photos while officially announcing the main creative list.
Although this official announcement came a little suddenly, most people had heard a lot of rumors about it before, so they were not surprised. Instead, they were very accepting of it.
Furthermore, Su Lingxi's all-black workwear style outfit perfectly hit the hearts of most fans: high-top Martin boots, black rivet work pants, and dark slim long sleeves. The overall outfit is very functional, making her look tall and with long legs; paired with the samurai sword in her hand, she looks like a doomsday female warrior from an infinite novel, cool and sassy, so handsome that people are shocked.
Only a small number of fans who followed the trend because of the box office performance were secretly dissatisfied with this, but due to their small number and weak power, they dared not say anything.
