Chapter 57: Before Shooting
Li Wei, who put on makeup first, took over the clothes selected by the costume stylist, but when he took over the ancient costume, his brows couldn't help frowning.
"Li Wei, what's wrong?" his action happened to be seen by Ha Ji Won, and he asked one by one.
"Sister Ji Won, if I'm not mistaken, the era in the play is set in the Ming Dynasty of China and the Li dynasty, right?" Li Wei asked without answering, and Ha Ji Won replied that it was correct.
However, this set of clothes is the costume of the Tang Dynasty in China, and it is also a costume that can only be worn by the scholars. If according to the setting of the script, Zhang Chengwu is the adopted son of an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also the adopted son of a foreign country, it is impossible for such an era background and identity to appear in this dress, unless he is a time-traveling person. Li Wei's witty answer did not arouse the applause of others, but made everyone who was putting on makeup or changing costumes stop their movements one after another, and of course it also alarmed director Lee Jae-kui and assistant director Kim Minhong.
"What's going on?" Lee Jae-kui walked over and asked, and the stylist in charge of the costume hurriedly explained the reason to the former.
"You!, go and ask Professor Kim Chang-won to come over!" Lee Jae-kyu commanded, pointing to a man, his brows furrowed as if he was thinking about something. Professor Kim Chang-won is a master of Sinology at Seoul National University (i.e., Seoul National University) and a rare Taeje Hokuto in South Korea in terms of Sinology attainments. He doesn't know what other directors are doing, but when he Lee Jae-kyu is filming historical dramas, he must be worthy of history in every detail.
After a while, the man just now led a middle-aged man who looked to be a certain age over.
"Professor Kim Changwon, I'm sorry. I want to ask you, is this a costume that can only be worn by the Tang Dynasty scholars?" Li Jae-kui took the clothes handed over by the costume stylist, and turned to the man, Professor Kim Chang-won, whom he called him, for advice.
"Hmm...... That's right, it is indeed a costume that only the scholars of the Tang Dynasty can wear. Kim Chang-won looked at the clothes carefully and said affirmatively, and at the same time, his answer made Lee Jae-kyu's face change, and then looked at the clothing team in charge of preparing the costumes.
"What the hell is going on?!" asked angrily with the outfit after Lee Jae-kyu respectfully invited Professor Kim Chang-won to rest.
"Uh...... I'm sorry...... Director: We were negligent for a while!" The staff of the costume team immediately bowed and apologized when they sensed Lee Jae-kyu's anger.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, is it useful?!" Korean directors have a bad habit, that is, they are a little short-tempered, and Lee Jae-kui is naturally no exception.
"I don't care if you steal or rob or whatever, you have to find me the right outfit within three days! Otherwise, you don't have to show up here, just go to the field to settle the salary and disappear in front of my eyes!" said Lee Jae-kui loudly.
"Yes!" In fact, the costume team did not bother to find suitable costumes, but MBC's costumes belonged to a limited company, and even most of the costumes had been occupied by another crew. Although I know the reason, but it is related to my job, the clothing team can only respond to Lee Jae-kui's request.
"Since there is a problem with the costumes, I will not shoot today, and I will rehearse the lines instead, which is just the right time for everyone to discuss and learn together. Li Zaikui's anger came up quickly and went down quickly, and after adjusting the situation, he said to everyone.
"Yes!" After hearing the director's instructions, the supporting actors went to the MBC's large conference room first, while Li Wei and the others took off their makeup before going to the conference room.
On the other hand, the costume team, including the team leader Fang Shengxian and the five team members, all got together to discuss Lee Jae-kyu's seemingly simple but actually not simple request.
"Team leader, what do you think we should do? It's only three days, and even if we go to order the right clothes, we won't have enough time. A costume crew member said.
"Why don't we go over there and talk about it again, and let them give us half of a set?" said another member of the group. MBC is a semi-private television and broadcasting company, and nearly one-third of its management power is in the hands of the South Korean government. There are three major factions in MBC, namely the first department of the director and the first department of the deputy director, both of which want to overthrow the other department to take over the TV bureau in a comprehensive way, and the other department is a neutral faction, just focusing on variety shows, so this department is the object that the other two departments want to win support.
"Tea Mother" was decided by the deputy director himself, so the director decided to shoot another historical drama "Da Chang Jin" as a means to counter the deputy director, and at the same time mobilized a lot of resources to the crew of "Da Chang Jin".
"In fact, we don't need so many sets of Ming Dynasty costumes in our TV series. Li Wei naturally didn't know about the ups and downs in MBC, he just passed by the place where the clothing team discussed, and unexpectedly heard what they discussed, so he opened his mouth to express his opinions and suggestions.
"Fake kind...... a staff member whispered sarcastically, he thought in his heart that if it wasn't for Li Wei, maybe the director didn't know about it at all, and they wouldn't be scolded.
"I don't know other people's scripts, but in my scripts, there aren't many scenes that use Ming costumes. Let me think about it...... When Zhang Chengwu was entrusted to the Ming Dynasty envoys, he needed a set of Ming Dynasty official uniforms, Zhang Chengwu needed two sets of more decent home clothes when he said goodbye to the Ming Dynasty envoys who raised him, and finally there was a scene where Zhang Chengwu appeared in front of Zhang Caiyu's eyes The Ming Dynasty ranger costumes, so as long as you borrow these four sets of clothes, you should be able to solve your urgent needs. Li Wei ignored the sarcasm of the staff, but carefully analyzed and proposed solutions for the clothing team.
"Of course, I don't know if there will be scenes that require Ming Dynasty costumes in the later scripts, but if you can follow the scenes described in the script and imagine them carefully, and then prepare them, I don't think it will be a big problem. Li Wei continued.
"Thank you so much for this. Fang Shengxian couldn't think of any way, and Li Wei also said it was quite reasonable, so he decided to give it a try according to his suggestion.
"You're welcome, it's because of me that you will be scolded, and I will atone for myself. Li Wei said with a gentle smile on his face.
"That...... I was rude just now, I'm sorry. The staff who had just made a sarcastic remark about Li Wei calmed down, and after realizing his gaffe, he apologized to Li Wei in embarrassment.
"It doesn't matter, I have to go, I have to go to the conference room. After saying goodbye to the group, Li Wei continued to walk to the conference room.
"It's really a nice person, I hope to be lucky enough to work together again. Fang Shengxian said in his heart.
