Chapter 1004 Asian Games: Song Yun
"Director Li!"

After Jia Rong left, Chu Yan felt a little embarrassed.

After all, Li Mu had only come here to discuss clothing matters for the Asian Games, but it ended up feeling like a welcoming party.

Li Mu didn't feel anything about this. After all, they had put up a banner to warmly welcome him, so what else could he complain about?

"Jia Yuan is quite welcoming."

Li Mu smiled, then got back to business. Looking at the design draft in front of him, he couldn't help but ask, "Professor Chu, these are some of the design styles of the Asian Games costumes."

Li Mu had this question because these design styles are very similar to his own plan.

"Um, yes, Director Li."

Seeing that Li Mu got straight to the point, Chu Yan quickly responded.

"Since receiving the invitation from the Asian Games Organizing Committee in 2021, I have taken my team to Hangzhou and major museums for dozens of visits, and read every page of more than complete collections of Song Dynasty paintings. This is currently part of the first draft.
I saw that Director Li's proposal for the "Chinese Style and Elegance" chapter is based on the Song Dynasty culture, divided into three parts: ink and wash into poetry and painting, mist and rain dyeing Jiangnan, and lights shining through the past and present. My team and I also plan to use the varied traditional Chinese colors on the costumes to fully display the 'Song Dynasty style' of Jiangnan."

Li Mu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.

“In terms of pattern design, we plan to integrate classic Song Dynasty art patterns such as mountain patterns, water patterns, cloud patterns, flower and bird patterns, and many Hangzhou characteristic elements, which will be consistent with your proposal, Director Li.

Then, in terms of style design, the cross-cut, cross-collar, right-front, and wide-sleeved robe structures are retained, especially the Song-style jacket, the straight robe favored by scholars, and the women's jacket and skirt with a shawl. In this way, the exaggerated silhouette design can be freely and innovatively incorporated, making the "Song style" have both classical charm and modern charm.

Chu Yan pointed to several design drafts and introduced them to Li Mu bit by bit.

However, Chu Yan's team also encountered problems, which is why they had to communicate with Li Mu in advance.

For example, whether their team's understanding of the life aesthetic spirit of "Song Yun" is consistent with that of the chief director Li Mu;
How to showcase the graceful and elegant "Song style" on the vibrant stage of the opening ceremony of an international sports event?
How to coordinate high-tech visual images on site to ensure that "Song Yun" retains its traditional charm without appearing old-fashioned, and injects the aesthetic spirit of the new era, etc.

It is not easy to create this aesthetic feast of "national style and elegance".

At the moment, not only Chu Yan but also the entire team members were present. However, Li Mu knew at a glance that many of them were his students, because the clarity and stupidity in their eyes would be difficult to remove without the polishing of society.

Some students were secretly taking pictures of him from time to time. Although Li Mu saw it, he just smiled at it.

Some of these behaviors in student days are too easy to guess, or many students always think that they are doing it very covertly, but in the eyes of others, they are all loopholes and flaws.

"If you want to take a photo with Director Li, just do it openly later." Seeing this, Chu Yan had to stand up and scolded.

"Our stage will use high-tech technologies such as floor screens, three-dimensional perspective screens, naked-eye 3D visual effects and virtual images."

Li Mu also took the opportunity to communicate with Chu Yan about his ideas for the stage. Although the program list is still in production and will not come out so soon, the design, color, elements, etc. of the costumes need to be prepared in advance.

Because it is impossible to pass the design draft in one go, according to what Chu Yan told him, just for the Winter Olympics, hundreds of drafts were drawn and modified.

"By the way, the color of this 'Song Yun' should be based on cyan, right?"

Li Mu pointed to the design drafts in front of him. Many of them had not yet been colored. However, Li Mu saw that they were basically dominated by blue, so he asked.

"Director Li, it's easy to understand. It's true. Different from the red that was the mainstream color in the Tang Dynasty, the color of "Song Dynasty style" should be the sky blue color of porcelain, Song Dynasty paintings and Jiangnan landscapes.

When our team went to Zhejiang, we saw everywhere the green mountains and waters depicted in "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains";
Song Dynasty style is as gentle and elegant as the blue sky, quiet and restrained, but also vivid. It is like the beautiful and graceful Jiangnan region.

"It's similar to what I saw, but Professor Chu's sky blue is more beautiful than the blue I understand." Li Mu couldn't help but smile. It was worthy of being the Asian Games, and the people selected were all the best in the industry.

Li Mu didn’t quite understand a lot of things, and it required the cooperation of all kinds of people to complete the opening ceremony of the Asian Games.

"No, Director Li's sensitivity to colors is no less than ours. We, who do costume design, often watch movies because we need to learn a lot of the colors in movies.

Director Li, Director Zhang Yimou, and Director Chen Kai are even better than us in the use of color science. If they were in our industry, I'm afraid we would have no food to eat."

These words are just for listening, they contain a lot of artistic elements. Li Mu smiled and waved his hands repeatedly.

In the evening, a dinner is inevitable. After all, both parties have to open a practice base, although it has only been mentioned at present.

But since Li Mu had spoken up and Jia Ronglin also had this intention, it was basically just a matter of time before things moved forward.

Wine is indispensable. Although he only drank a few sips, Li Mu could only call the company's driver in advance to help drive him back.

The imperial capital is still prosperous at night, with busy pedestrians and vehicles shuttling through the streets.

"Boss Li, we're here!"

"Oh, sorry." Li Mu pressed lightly, and the door of the villa slowly opened.

"Go back slowly!"

"Okay, Mr. Li!"

"."

The first one to greet him was always the little bun, but she was not the one who ran the fastest, because Ala ran much faster.

And with the arrival of winter, Alaska's blood has begun to awaken. It likes to hang out outside the door all day long, and will only come back wagging its tail when the little bun calls it.

"You silly dog, why do you always use so much force every time?"

Seeing Ala rushing towards him, Li Mu said unhappily.

"It also watches people. It was aggressive with us two, but was very careful with the little bun."

When Liu Yifei heard what Li Mu said, she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"When I was with my grandma and my grandmother, I was also very careful."

The little bun immediately spoke well of the little bun.

"So we are the only ones who are easy to bully, right?" Li Mu chuckled, patted Ala's head, and let it go.

"How was the talk today? Did it go smoothly?" Liu Yifei took the little bun by the hand and walked into the house. It was still too cold outside. There was heating at home and they were not wearing thick clothes, so they had to hurry back.

“It’s much more professional than our crew.”

"Of course, after all, we are doing the Asian Games, not making a movie!"
