See the fastest updates
In South Korea, the Broadcasting Bureau is a government agency established to support the cultural undertakings of TV dramas, and is used to support the work of TV crews in all aspects.
In addition to the talent market similar to the "TV drama supermarket", more is to provide professional service support, such as the 5-storey "Taiyu Building" in the west of the "Taiyu Building" specializing in costumes, makeup, props services, all crews can apply for rental certificates with the approval number of the work, here to get all the help about costumes and props, each crew can rent 20 pieces of costumes and props for free, the lease period is 3 months, you can renew the lease once, that is, up to half a year.
Starting from the 2nd floor, it is divided into 2 floors of fashion department props, costumes, and sets, 3 floors of costume department props, sets, and costumes, 4 floors of European, Chinese, and American style costumes, and 5 floors of science fiction and magic...... There are hundreds of thousands of pieces on each floor, costumes, and props that can be rented for free.
All this is the service of the broadcasting bureau to support the TV crews that have not yet been invested in during the preparation period.
In addition to the rental service, usually the real popularity of this modern building is actually located on the first floor of the processing room, although most of the costumes and props can be rented for free, but for the crews of the three major TV stations, most of the props that can be rented in the radio drama are already outdated, and they can be used as accessories and extras, but the costumes and exquisite accessories of the protagonists are generally designed and customized by artists.
According to the regulations of the radio drama, the processing room on the first floor can provide sewing machines, as well as some ordinary clothing, for the artists to do the design, but this is not free, once the finished product is produced here, after the TV series is filmed, it must be included in the building, which can be rented on the display, which also ensures the long-term operation of the Fuhua Road building.
In this more than 500-square-meter service room, almost half of the front-line artists in South Korea work here every day, sewing machines, chainsaw machines, and grinding equipment are constantly roaring, and one after another exquisite and unique props and costumes are produced here, and then appear in the latest Korean dramas.
Li Xiaole's "My Girl" art team has been working here for more than 20 days, and after being together and ready, Li Xiaole began to work on the creation of characters, role building, and the actor's own ability is naturally the most important, but the external rendering cannot be ignored, whether it is Zhu Yuling's cute and pretty, Xue Gongcan's cold and noble, or Xu Zhengyu's chic and uninhibited, more than seven sets of different costumes and shapes are needed to perfect the role.
It adds up to more than 20 sets of costumes, which is quite a lot of work, but Li Xiaole really didn't think there was anything wrong, you must know that in order to shoot "Da Chang Jin", Li Bingxun stayed here with his team for more than half a year and designed 73 sets of costumes for each character.
During the preparation of "Blue Life and Death Love", director Yi Seok-ho also used to make 14 costumes of Song Hye Kyo and Song Seung-hun here, and it took 93 days and more than 30 drafts to finalize the final draft.
For a long time in the future, Korean TV dramas can become the best-selling dramas in Asia, and many directors in other Asian countries have expressed their disdain, thinking that the plot of Korean dramas is naïve and cannot be compared with the connotation of domestic dramas, but they do not understand at all that in the process of Korean dramas, their delicacy far exceeds that of other Asian countries, and it is almost a complete process of learning American dramas.
Li Xiaole is extremely dissatisfied with the cartoonish costumes in the original "My Girl", and is ready to tear them all down and start over, his goal is to make a classic in a TV series, what is a classic? It's just that not only do people now feel unstoppable when they look at it, but if someone comes to see it in ten or twenty years, they will still sigh that the shooting is really fucking awesome.
It's like "Dream of Red Mansions" in the mainland, which was a TV series many years ago, but now I'm watching the costumes and hair accessories inside are exquisitely made, and I never get tired of watching it, Li Xiaole wants to achieve this effect......
Last time, "Color is Empty" had almost no such considerations, so he was scolded by those professional film critics, and this time since he made a new work, he had to shoot so that everyone had nothing to say.
Of course, Li Xiaole himself is not very professional, he asked Xu Zhen to take a group of small artists from the crew to come up with a set of designs at the beginning, but when the first version came out, Li Xiaole felt very disappointed at the time, so he pulled everyone together to tell the script and described the whole story of "My Girl".
The people under Xu Zhen's costume team are all wondering, they are just making costumes, they want to know what the script does?
"Director, is it so complicated? I've worked in the Big Three before, and it's good if the clothes are all in good style......" The curly-haired, small-eyed female designer Han Mi-sook muttered.
"It's an ordinary TV series, let's shoot it differently" Li Xiaole flicked the stack of design artwork with his fingers and said: "Let me ask you a question, do you think our costume team shows its face in the TV series?" ”
"Of course not, the audience doesn't just see those actors being nymphomaniacs." A young artist touched his head and smiled.
"Of course not, you show your face too." Li Xiaole bundled up the design draft and showed them: "The whole play is like a symphony orchestra performance, on the screen, the actors are the chief standing at the front, singing through their faces and bodies to show the plot, and your costumes use colors and materials to join the voice of the entire screen shape, sing the feelings of the characters, and tell the age of the characters......"
"Director, your words are too exaggerated......" "Yes, you know how to coax us to work."
Several costumers are old fritters, although they feel the ambition in Li Xiaole's eyes, but they are not fooled, after all, they have seen too many young directors who are enthusiastic and practical, who can't talk big, even Xu Zhen thinks that Li Xiaole's words are too much, but it is just a TV series, as for saying that it looks like he is going to participate in some film festival.
Looking at the reflection of these people's smiling faces, Li Xiaole also figured it out, he can only do it, the thinking in his head can't keep up, just saying it can't convince these people, and only the master must set an example first to be convincing...... I can only do it myself......
Li Xiaole didn't talk much nonsense, he simply took the paper and pencil himself, and began to draw design drawings, he was obviously not very professional in this regard, so he could only rely on the classic costume designs he had seen in his impression, and try to copy some costumes suitable for the crew roles.
Since that day, Li Xiaole has been lying on the design table all day long, using pencils to constantly sketch out a variety of different design drawings, he used to work in the clothing team for a period of time, these clothing sketches are still based on it, although it is not standard, it can barely be seen.
Zhu Yuling's costume color should be bright and bright, both cute and civilian, to express her inner innocence, the costume of the cute heroine in the 2011 American drama "Jesse Marryed" is just in line, Xue Gongcan's cold and arrogant heart, Kim Daozhen in "Gentleman's Character" is the same style, Xu Zhengyu's style is almost the same as NATE in "Gossip Girl", right......
According to the three-time Academy Award winner Thandie Powell, in 2012, the "Costume Character Relationship Theory" proposed by Li Xiaole directly had to draw these clothes as characters in the storyboard script in order to sort out their respective relationships, that is, to change the three characters into their costumes and draw them in a storyboard script to see if they could show their own characteristics......
After drawing the sketch, Li Xiaole sent his first draft to the "Screenwriters Republic", and asked those professional designers to repair it for himself in the name of H.
Xu Zhen and the designers saw that Li Xiaole had been scratching his head and scratching his cheeks, and they all laughed secretly, this layman boy still wanted to do it himself, look at the appearance of his pen, he didn't learn it, and he was fucking pretending, but this director actually wanted to draw more than a dozen design drawings in three days, isn't this a joke...... It's so impractical.
Li ...... Director Li, your painting method is too messy, you should compose the costumes separately, which ...... How can there be three costumes together, this is a drawing caricature? Xu Zhen curiously took out a crumpled drawing from the trash can and looked at it for a long time, the messy pencil lines really couldn't be read, and he frowned and kindly reminded.
But Li Xiaole was pondering in the composition structure, and he didn't hear it at all, Xu Zhen's face was pulled down at that time, this costume design was obviously their work, not to mention the interference of this layman director, and this bad attitude, this is too insulting!
A group of designers simply threw their hands outside to smoke to relieve their depression, and this group of people also met a director like Li Xiaole who wanted to control everything for the first time.
I don't know how long I was busy, and it wasn't until the text message on my mobile phone rang that Li Xiaole woke up from the stuffy sketch, picked up the text message and saw that it was sent by Ha Ji Yuan.
"Li Xiaole, what are you doing ("daomengren" to see the latest chapter), are you falling into a workaholic state again, get up and do gymnastics! Rest more, don't spoil your body~"
Li Xiaole was happy as soon as he saw the text message, hehe, this Nizi is a bit of a doorway, and she even counted that she was working hard, and sent a text message back to Ha Zhiyuan: "En, President He, you are the same, do the same with President He, do less dangerous actions, otherwise you won't be able to get married, don't expect me to push you out to bask in the sun when you get old in the future." ”
I felt some backache, so I stood up and did the seventh set of broadcast gymnastics, but before I finished it, suddenly the radio notice from the Broadcasting Bureau rang out:
"Please pay attention to colleagues, urgent notice, urgent notice, the leaders of the French TV Festival and the Radio Bureau are about to inspect the work, please do a good job of cleaning up the site......"
Li Xiaole could only smile bitterly, go out first to breathe, don't delay the inspection of other leaders.
After going out, Li Xiaole went to the cafeteria for lunch in advance, called Lei Ting, and asked her about Li Junji, Li Dongxu's training, these two boys (the fastest update) are very peaceful, they work there every day according to the instructions, and their bodies are said to be a lot stronger, Li Duohai is also in good shape, everything is under his control, which makes Li Xiaole very comforted, everything is on the established track, and after eating, he fell asleep on the dining table in the canteen......
