"If your life is in a game, how will you face it?" - Is this a very "comedian" style question? This time, Li Jiahang came with his friends with his "answer".

html On the afternoon of August 21, the Hangzhou press conference for the second tour of the martial arts comedy "What Do You Usually Do" was held in the small theater of Hangzhou Theater. Li Jiahang, Li Zhixia, Chen Yifei, Liu Zhongqiu, Yang Tiancheng, Li Wenfan, Wang Yunfan, Zhang Yibo, Shu Pengcheng, Thirteen main creators including Fu Xiaolin and Zhang Zhenqi chatted about "games" and "drama" with the audience and the media, and talked about the wonderful journey in this game.

This is an online game-themed comedy. In the play, four martial arts warriors, Shen Zhutie, Feng Yiming, Ban Buduo, and Tie Fanzi, assassinate Cao Qin, the eunuch of Dongchang, for the sake of the common people. Unexpectedly, they encounter a conspiracy. After the four people died and returned to Naihe Bridge, they were shocked to realize that the world was just a game, and they were just NPCs (non-player characters) in it. Several knights were shocked, confused, and puzzled. With the help of "plug-ins", The half-dark and half-understood people once again stood in front of Cao Qin, embarking on a fantasy journey full of reversals and hilarious laughter.

This is the second time Li Jiahang and the creative team have performed in Hangzhou. Many viewers were curious about the difference between the second tour and the first tour. Li Jiahang said: "Compared with the first tour, we optimized the drama structure, deleted the lengthy parts, and made subtractions." He compared the process to dismantling a truck. Replacing parts with a good car requires not only maintaining the integrity and logic of the show, but also giving the audience the best viewing experience. The challenges are considerable.

"Every day I go into the rehearsal hall with a task, scratch my head when I go in, and go out scratching my head." It can be said that Li Jiahang, who is also a director, screenwriter and actor, has never stopped polishing and recreating this play. The creative team accumulated experience from tour to tour, listened to audience feedback, and gradually optimized the performance effects, resulting in the more mature second tour version. They bluntly said that this second tour came with a lot of baggage and a lot of surprises. At the

press conference, there were fans who came to catch up from the first tour, and there were also loyal viewers who had watched the video seven times. "During the first tour, my friends and I blindly bought tickets for Teacher Li Jiahang, and the results far exceeded expectations. This time for the second tour, we directly upgraded to eight people, planning to buy tickets to watch the theater together." It rained suddenly in the afternoon of that day. It wet the clothes of the audience, but it could not dampen their eager anticipation.

For viewers who heard about this drama for the first time, Li Jiahang also carefully revealed the origin of this seemingly hasty title: "We intentionally set a homophony in the title of the drama. The first letter of 'your usual' is npc. I It’s a bit hasty to admit, but it also includes the question I want to explore, whether we have examined what we do every day.”

The bizarre world of rivers and lakes in the play, humorous language and actions, and awakening NPCs. The resistance and exploration they showed when facing their fate gave this comedy a hint of stubbornness against fate while laughing. Li Jiahang said frankly that the original intention of the drama was very simple. He just wanted to make a play and express his thoughts through drama.

In addition, the music of this drama is also exciting. It is personally composed by Zhai Jinduo, the music producer of the game "Black Myth: Wukong", which will bring a refreshing listening experience to the audience. I believe that whether you are a martial arts fan, a game enthusiast, or an audience looking for laughter, you can find your own fun in this show. At the scene, Li Jiahang also "proudly" told the audience that he had received the "Black Myth Wukong" co-branded T-shirt from Teacher Zhai.
