Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2173 Luxurious crew fitting

Since Lin Daoqiu increased the costume budget to [-] million yen, it is naturally impossible for Saomi Shinji to find an ordinary designer to design the costumes of "Onmyoji".

With the help of Okada Shigeru, Ami Shinji invited Takada Kenzo to serve as the costume design director of "Onmyoji".

In the mid-60s, Takada Kenzo went to France to study abroad, then worked as a freelance designer, and then opened his first clothing store "Jungle Jap" in Paris.

Ami Shinji was able to invite him because of the face of Shigeru Okada and Toei, and Kenzo Takada himself was very interested in Lin Daoqiu, so he agreed to take over the job.

Referring to the cultural relics of the Heian period and the books left behind, Kenzo Takada and his team worked day and night on the costume design of "Onmyoji".

Lin Daoqiu didn't participate in it. He only knew that Xiangmi Shenji asked Okada Shigeru to invite a famous neon designer, but he hadn't met the other party so far.

Takada Kenzo is a very responsible and serious guy, originally he planned to meet and chat with Lin Daoqiu at first.

But as soon as he got the job, he didn't care about meeting Lin Daoqiu at all, and he had already started to lead the team to devote himself to the design.

Tomio Kuriyama's work here is actually very complicated, but the most important thing is to be in charge of construction work.

According to Lin Daoqiu's requirements, the buildings in Taiqin Yinghua Village are not of much use at all. If they don't rebuild, they can only change the shooting location to other places.

Lin Daoqiu's renovation fee of [-] million yen for the first phase made Toei extremely happy. After all, after the filming of "Onmyoji" was finished here, they could stay here and let them continue filming other period dramas.

Therefore, in addition to Tomoo Kuriyama, Shigeru Okada is also very concerned about the matter of supervision. He will come every five days to check the construction situation, and he will also put forward his own suggestions from time to time.

[-] million yen had already been spent before the filming of the movie started. It is estimated that even Akira Kurosawa would not be able to do this kind of thing, but to Lin Daoqiu, this is nothing at all.

In addition to the filming in Taiqin Film Village, "Onmyoji" will also be filmed in various places in Neon. In order to select these scenes, Lin Daoqiu took Mae Chuan Kiyoshi to run up and down Neon.

Fortunately, the neon is not very big, but it took Lin Daoqiu a full month to choose the filming location of "Onmyoji" on this trip.

The follow-up communication with the local department naturally does not need Lin Daoqiu to come forward, and Shochiku and Toei will naturally handle it on their behalf.

And when those local departments heard that their scenic spot was lucky enough to be selected as the filming location of this Neon movie with the highest production cost in history, they naturally strongly supported it.

Lin Daoqiu didn't expect these people to be so enthusiastic, and when he arrived there, he was dragged to taste the food without even seeing the scenery.

If it weren't for Qian Chuanqing, I'm afraid I can't do anything every day, drinking and eating with them all the time, it's a waste of time.

After running around, Lin Daoqiu gained several pounds, and there were nearly a hundred alternative filming locations.

Since it is a blockbuster movie, well-known scenic spots can't be missed, but it still needs to be in line with the Heian period, otherwise it would be a bad time to make a time-travel movie.

In the past, the costume fitting of the neon production team was not a big event. It was enough to call a few leading actors over, then give them the prepared clothes to change into, and then cut the clothes according to their figures, and finally take a photo of the final makeup. up.

Judging from the filming experience of Tomio Kuriyama and Shinji Soyone in the past, it took a week at most for the crew to try out the outfit.

But this time, the costume trial scale of "Onmyoji" can be said to be a bit unprecedented. There are more than a dozen main characters, some supporting characters, and even some small characters who only show up once or twice. something unheard of.

This time, there were as many as 3000 pieces of costumes by Takeshi Nomura alone, and all of them were custom-made, all worth [-] million yen.

Yakushi Maru Hiroko also has more than a dozen sets of clothes, and spent more than 2000 million yuan.

As for the remaining supporting roles, there are hundreds of sets of clothes in total. In the end, [-] million yen is not enough, and in the end, several million more are added to get it done.

When Tomio Kuriyama and Shinji Saomi saw the final report, the expressions on their faces showed no other reaction except shock.

The costumes alone cost more than 1 million yen. I am afraid that they will never have the opportunity to shoot such an extravagant movie in their lifetime. They are really lucky to be able to participate in the production of this time.

During the fitting, Lin Daoqiu made a rare appearance, admiring the costumes with all the main creators.

For Lin Daoqiu, he doesn't understand traditional neon costumes at all, and even if he has seen them, he has no impression at all.

However, Tomio Kuriyama and Shinji Soyone praised it again and again. Compared with Kenzo Takada's work, it should be very good.

"Not bad, thank you for your hard work this time."

During this time, Xiang Mi Shen Er has been working overtime every day for clothing matters. Compared with when Lin Daoqiu met him before, he has lost a lot of weight, but Lin Daoqiu ran out to play. After investigation, compared with before, I gained a few kilograms.

"Mr. Lin has won the award. These are all my duties. Since you have entrusted me with this matter, I will naturally get it done. Fortunately, I did not live up to your expectations in the end. I am very satisfied." gone."

Xiang Mi Shen Er is naturally very happy with Lin Daoqiu's praise. This time, he and Kenzo Takada, a well-known neon designer, made these clothes together, and Xiang Mi Shen Er is also a very proud thing.

Although I don't know what to do with these clothes after Lin Daoqiu plans to finish filming "Onmyoji" in the future.

But in Sangmi Shinji's opinion, these clothes will definitely become some very important props for Toei's period dramas in the future. After all, it is impossible for Lin Daoqiu to destroy these clothes after filming.

But what Xiangmi Shener didn't know was that Lin Daoqiu really planned to do this. Except for the important costumes of a few leading actors, he planned to keep them, and he planned to destroy the costumes of other supporting roles.

It's just that he hasn't had time to tell Mi Shener these words, after all, the other party didn't ask him, so Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say it.

This time, the costume trial of "Onmyoji" has been tried for a full month, including modification and makeup photos. The preparation work of "Onmyoji" has progressed to about [-]%, and now we only wait for the reconstruction of Taiqin Film Village Once completed, you can enter the stage of trial shooting.
