Beauty Comprehensive 1999

After seeing off director Jackson and his wife, Xie Zihao talked with Wei Dake and his daughter, who hadn't seen each other for a while, before getting up to say goodbye.

But he didn't go back to Pasadena, but came to his company, or actually a studio.

He had entrusted James Berkeley to help him register this company before, mainly for his own service to avoid some troubles.

The location of the company is just outside the place where Hollywood production companies gather. They bought a two-story building, which is located between David Cole's side and Siren Records' side, not too far from both sides.

It's just that after the shelves were erected, the entire company added up to more than [-] office rooms, because there were so few people that they haven't been filled yet.

But Xie Zihao is rich and self-willed and doesn't care about these things, so he just hoards some real estate.

When he came to the company, Xie Zihao directly approached his two friends, Big Bear Thornton and Elena.

Now they are all from their own studio, one is in charge of managing the props group and the other is in charge of the styling group. This couple mainly serves for him, and they have a relatively generous fixed base salary every month. If there are tasks, the salary is calculated according to the time. Usually, when Xie Zihao doesn't need it, he will also take over some work from other crews, but the company takes very little commission, so the income of the two is higher than before, not to mention stable, and working here with Xie Zihao is very happy.

After the meeting, there was another exchange of pleasantries. Yi Lianna, who was as tall as a junior high school girl but with a figure like a ripe peach, asked:
"Lance, are you here because of the new role? What kind of look do you need this time?"

As members of Xie Zihao's company, of course they already knew that their boss was going to take on a new role.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zihao smiled and said:
"I'll talk about the styling later. I'm here because I have something to ask Thornton, can you make gold and silverware and jewelry?"

Thornton, who was as strong as a bear, immediately patted his chest and said:
"Of course there is no problem. I have practiced for a long time to make jewelry for Elena's sweetheart. What kind of jewelry do you want, Lance?"

As they said that, the two still looked at each other with bored expressions, which meant that Xie Zihao was no longer single, otherwise he would have to eat a big bowl of dog food.

Speaking of which, he has the skills of paper making and carpentry, and has studied cultural relics restoration for several years. In fact, he can be regarded as half an artist, and he has the vision of 20 years beyond this era in his previous life. It is still very good in terms of shape design, but he can do it himself. Making gold and silver utensils and jewelry has never been done before.

And Xie Zihao also knows that although he can shape things out of thin air with the power of spiritual projection and the power of authority, it will consume some incense and confidence. On the contrary, it is easier to have spirituality than to shape it out of thin air, probably because of the changes brought about by the spiritual ideas spent in the production!
So he came to ask Thornton, a senior prop master who had been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and if Thornton couldn't do it, then he would do it himself.

As a result, Thornton could really make gold and silver utensils and jewelry.

It's reasonable to think about it. Most of these prop masters are all-rounders, and they are all good at painting, sculpture, clay sculpture, molding and other crafts. Not to mention the high level of art, at least they have a solid foundation.

The craft of gold, silverware and jewelry is the same as that of copper and tin overmolding, and it is not very difficult to manufacture, not to mention that this guy, Big Bear, has really practiced it.

So he took out the design drawing of his own flower and showed it to the two of them.

"so beautiful!"

Just at first glance, Irina, the stylist, was attracted by a few things drawn with a pencil.

Xie Zihao pointed to the things on the drawing and said:

"I hope to use pure gold or 24k gold as the material. I don't need to cut corners to save me money. I want genuine products at a price, but they don't need to be too heavy. After all, they are carried on the body, and weight must also be considered."

Thornton said with some excitement:
"I understand. Is this the jewelry you will use for your new character? Don't worry, give me a week and I will definitely give you the best work!"

The reason why he is excited is that creating this kind of jewelry is very challenging for him, and once the movie that Xie Zihao wears his work is successful, he will also have the capital to show off as the production of this set of jewelry. It can be said that his fame will also rise in the art circle.

That is definitely a rare opportunity for prop masters like them, who were originally at the middle and lower levels of the art circle's food chain, to become famous.

The jewelry was done, and Xie Zihao raised the issue of the styling of the new show. Although the crew must have a dedicated stylist, and the role has not yet been determined, but Xie Zihao, the prince of the elves, has his own understanding.

The appearance of the prince in the movie of the previous life is not bad, but in his eyes, it lacks a bit of fairy spirit, more like a prince in the human kingdom. Dress like a hunter.

So Xie Zihao and Irina discussed for nearly two hours, and they initially decided on three sets of plans, one set is almost military uniform and noble hunting outfit for battle, and the other two sets are for leisure in the royal court and banquets dresses and casual attire.

The requirement is to try to give the shape a real elf beauty while maintaining the heroic spirit.

Anyway, Xie Zihao himself is not short of money, even if the crew doesn't adopt these three plans, they are still good for him to collect or wear on certain occasions.

After explaining the matter here, Xie Zihao began to wait for the next formal audition.

I made an appointment with David Cole before, but the director and producer, Peter Jackson, was hindered by his wife's thoughts, and he just wanted to give the great director of the century a face. The real audition still has to go through the process Yes, after all, although he is a producer and director, he has a lot of say in the preparation of the film, but there are also supervisors such as the sponsor and the producer sent by the production company behind him, so it is impossible for him to make a decision with one word .

However, several insiders know that since Xie Zihao has been approved by the director and his wife, the role is considered a certainty if nothing else happens.

But for the sake of insurance, Xie Zihao himself made some careful preparations.

During the days of waiting for the audition, apart from Selma having to call his father every day to report that he was safe, and talking to his two girlfriends, Jessica and Melinda, about girlish things, Xie Zihao's own thoughts were all over the place. On the research in the world of flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water.

Thanks to Professor Isa Aziz, a professional alchemist, several studies are led by him. Most of the time, Xie Zihao just proposes some ideas or cooperates. If he is really allowed to study by himself, then it is not Know how much time it takes.

Soon it was the audition date. Xie Zihao took the costumes that Thornton and Irina had rushed to work in advance, dressed neatly and bid farewell to Melinda, and then got into the business car driven by the driver with his manager James Berkeley. I came to the door of the interview location arranged by the Lord of the Rings crew.

This is actually the studio of a small company, with a small scale, but the facilities are quite complete. It was rented out by the crew and used for some scenes that did not require live-action shooting, and those real scenes had to be flown to Oceania to shoot. Hollywood is a normal thing.

There are so many production companies in Hollywood, and some major studios have their own studios, and the scale is not small and there are not only one.But apart from those giants, if other crews want to shoot, they have to rent the ready-made studios from others. If they build it themselves, it is relatively easy for modern dramas with simple sets, but some of them need to use more scenes. The shooting of modern dramas and ancient dramas, as well as science fiction, magic and other films, cannot be handled by a small crew.
