China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 43 Good dramas are all made up of details.

The next day, filming officially started.

Zu Feng observed that there was an extra person in the crew - Zhuo Wei.

He immediately reported this issue to Li Yu.

"Director Li, a reporter with a bad reputation appears at our shooting site. Do you want someone to chase him away?"

Zu Feng doesn't surf the Internet much, but as an insider, he has also heard that Zhuo Wei took a photo of Liu Xiaoqing this year and became famous in one battle.

As an actor who just wants to act well, he doesn't like the media, and he hates unscrupulous paparazzi like Zhuo Wei.

"It's okay, he doesn't dare to make trouble. If he dares to make trouble for me, I dare to let him leave Hengdian sideways."

When Li Yu said this, he glanced at Zhuo Wei.

Zhuo Wei over there suddenly sneezed and felt a chill all over his body.

When he noticed that Li Yu was looking at him in a friendly manner, he immediately responded with a smile.

Zu Feng said nothing more after that.

Director Li Yu has already said this, and Li Yu must be right.

He is just an actor, and for him, performing well is the first priority.

The person responsible for the styling and makeup of the crew is still the very skilled Shang Tao.

The last time he filmed Full House, Shang Tao felt that he learned a lot from being with Li Yu.

Li Yu's aesthetics are very advanced.

Under Li Yuchao's high requirements and command, she created the most perfect look in her career.

Han Xinxin in Full House made her famous.

For the audience, they may not pay attention to the workers behind the scenes.

But within the circle, she has already gained popularity through Han Xinxin.

Many people in the industry know that the reason why the characters in Full House are so outstanding has a lot to do with her.

After Full House aired, several urban drama crews asked her to serve as a styling consultant.

There was also a popular female star in the industry who paid her a high price to be her personal makeup artist.

As a person who truly loves and pursues the career of makeup, Shang Tao declined the good intentions of those people.

She felt that she had a better future by staying with Li Yu and could learn more.

Previously, the main creative members of Ghost went to Hualiu Company to take makeup photos, and Shang Tao personally styled the actors.

To be honest, she was a little disappointed at the time and felt that Li Yu's aesthetics had regressed.

In terms of costumes, the costume photos of Ghosts are a step backwards compared to Full House.

When filming Full House, Li Yu was very particular about details. Li Yu strictly required what kind of clothes each character should wear to fit the character.

Shang Tao felt that the ghost this time was a bit hasty.

When taking the makeup photos, Ma Wenlong, who plays the king, and Tang Yan, who plays the queen, wore period clothes made of ordinary fabrics.

Shang Tao was disappointed at that time.

These are the king and queen of a dynasty!

Can you only afford burlap? Could this dynasty be an African tribal dynasty?

Seeing Li Yu, who once had extremely high demands for obedience, fall into disgrace, Shang Tao really didn't know what to say.

While Shang Tao was in a daze, several people suddenly moved the costumes into the crew's temporary dressing room.

"What's going on? Who asked you to send clothes? I didn't ask anyone to rent costumes."

Shang Tao was puzzled.

Now she is in charge of the crew's costumes.

She didn't tell the merchants here in Hengdian that she wanted to rent costumes.

Why would anyone send so many clothes to the dressing room?
  "Director Li sent them here. These are the costumes that Director Li specially customized for shooting ghosts. They were just shipped to Hengdian yesterday."

The staff member responsible for the transportation replied to Shang Tao.

'Specially customized' was shipped to Hengdian yesterday.

Shang Tao captured these key points. But before she could ask any more questions, several staff members put their things away and left.

But Li Yu then brought the main creative members of the crew to the dressing room.

"Shang Tao, I just received a call and my custom-made clothes were delivered.

These costumes are different from the temporary borrowed costumes used for makeup photos.

Your character's basic makeup won't change, but you may make minor adjustments.

I give you one morning, that should be enough, right?

If there is no problem, we will start shooting in the afternoon. "

After Li Yu entered the dressing room, he looked at Shang Tao and asked.

Shang Tao was in a daze. Li Yu spoke to her, and it took several seconds for her to react.

"Li...Director Li, I have no problem...it's just...I don't understand. When did Director Li find someone to specially customize a batch of clothes? I haven't even heard of it."

Shang Tao felt guilty. She realized that she had misunderstood Li Yu.

Director Li is still the same Director Li who attaches great importance to the aspect of being polite, and even the costumes are specially customized.

Shang Tao was looking forward to Li Yu's aesthetics.

I hope Li Yu’s specially customized clothes will not disappoint her.

"Looking good and striving for perfection are two different things. If it weren't for the time-consuming production of costumes, it would have been necessary to customize the costumes for the actors' makeup."

Li Yu said seriously.

Silla dramas were able to sweep across Asia mainly because of their hard work in costumes and setting.

Li Yu must not do worse than others, and by the way, he will also teach his domestic colleagues a lesson and let their domestic colleagues learn from it.

There are so many costume dramas in China that claim to have huge investments, but they are just a piece of shit when it comes to service.

It doesn't matter, just give the emperor a golden silk crown that only people who have died wear.

The clothes worn by dignified emperors, generals and generals are made of the same fabric as those worn by ordinary people on the street. Is this considered rough and shoddy?
  And the armor of those soldiers looked fake at first glance.

Take a look at "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" produced by Yangma ten years ago. That is called a classic.

You can see how sophisticated the production is from the costumes of Prime Minister Cao and Uncle Liu in the early and later stages.

After Boss Cao became the prime minister, he wore silk. Every time he appeared, he had a new set of clothes, and every outfit looked cool.

It's not like the later "New Three Kingdoms", where a set of burlap clothes was worn from beginning to end.

A good drama is made up of perfect details.

Too many tiny sparkles can turn into dazzling stars.

Li Yu asked Ma Wenlong and Tang Yan to put on new costumes to see the effect.

The effect of the finished product is better than Li Yu imagined.

Ma Wenlong is wearing the imperial uniform made in the Ming Dynasty. Wearing a Yishan crown on his head, red silk uniforms, five-clawed dragons on the front and back shoulders, a jade belt on his waist, and leather shoes on his feet, this is the style that an emperor should have.

The queen played by Tang Yan wears a dragon crown with twin phoenixes and feathers, a true red coat with large sleeves, a long red skirt, and protective gold, jade, jewelry, emerald and other jewelry.

This is the true mother of a country who honors the world.

Shang Tao just wanted to see Li Yu's aesthetics.

Seeing Ma Wenlong and Tang Yan dressed up, she realized that this was the clothing system inherited from China for thousands of years. Can the aesthetics be bad?

"Is the finished product good? I asked Teacher Gao to introduce a professor who specializes in Ming history as a consultant. The clothes are all checked by the professor.

Except for things that really can't be made, such as using gold wire to create rusty dragon patterns.

The rest of the places are trying to be restored as much as possible. "

Anyway, Li Yu is personally very satisfied with these finished products.

Zhuo Wei, the king of paparazzi, saw this scene and sensed that this was a breaking point. He asked Li Yu excitedly: "Director Li, can I take a photo of these clothes?"

Zhuo Wei had already thought of the headline of the news.

'Shock! The transformation of the ancient drama of ghosts into Taoism is already several positions ahead of its domestic counterparts.

With such subtitles and his paparazzi-king writing skills, why worry about the newspaper not selling well?
