Chapter 819: Save Beauty Again
Zixi listened to Lin Yuantai's report in London, and saw the news of the press conference on the Internet, with a triumphant smile on his face. Because only half a day has passed since the press conference, the Asian network has gone viral, and many Asian countries and regions have expressed their willingness to contact ConstellationEntertainment and KBS TV to purchase the rights to premiere "Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu" in the local area. Among them, local and national TV stations in Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Chinese mainland and China HK are the most active. The media in Europe and the United States have also gotten the news and began to pay attention to the Korean film "Uncle" that Zixi returned after four years.
As for Zixi, seeing that the effect has been achieved, he has nothing to worry about. Among his army of wives, except for Yuna and Yoo-ri, who have jobs and can't be separated, all of them have taken different flights to different countries in batches before Zixi set off for the UK, the reason is that they are going on vacation during the New Year. Of course, their most popular destination was a ranch in Canada. Therefore, Zixi is the only one in London this time except for the bodyguard, as long as he is in the United Kingdom, he can be at ease after actively cooperating with Tussauds to complete the tailoring of the wax figure and complete his work.
Madame Tussauds is a wax museum located in London, England, and one of the highest level wax museums in the world. There are many wax figures of celebrities in the world in the museum, including not only political dignitaries from all over the world, film and television stars from all over the world, but also sports superstars, celebrities in the field of science and culture, and famous animation figures. In South Korea, Bae Yongjun is the first Hallyu star to be collected by a foreign wax museum.
The process of making wax figures is not about playing with mud, just kneading and kneading. The whole wax figure making is a very complex and heavy work, and in order to make the wax figure look like a real person, every step of the production must be meticulously improved. After taking accurate and careful measurements of the celebrity's body parts, the wax artists have to take this precious data back to the wax workshop in the London Main Building, where another celebrity can be created. Since Zixi needed to make five wax figures of different shapes this time, the wax museum asked him to come to London in person.
The wax figure is not a custom-made garment, the wax figure artist must first measure the head, body, hands and feet and other detailed data, and then shoot the wax figure The costumes required for the shape of the person before entering the next step.
The sculptor would first pinch out the figure's head out of clay and then apply plaster to create a mold of the head. Hot wax is poured into the plaster mold, and the plaster mold is removed after cooling, and the original shape of the wax figure's head is set, and the hands and feet can be made in the same way. In the early stage, the torso also needed to be supported by a metal skeleton, and in the later stage, it was replaced by fiberglass.
The head, as the part that can be covered by no clothing, is also the most complicated part of the processing process. In particular, the coloring of eyes, hair, and skin is a very detailed work. how the eyes look bright; The teeth are modeled, stained, and inlaid as if they were made for a real person. The hair is taken according to the samples taken during the tailoring, looking for real human hair with similar hair type, and then implanting them into the wax head one by one by hand, and then washing, cutting, and finally combing the hairstyle, the project is very huge.
The "likeness" of wax figures lies not only in form, but also in God. To make a wax figure look like a real person, coloring the skin all over the body is crucial. According to different skin tones and the skin characteristics of the "celebrity" itself, the sculptor will mix the appropriate color to paint the wax figure, which will make the wax figure present a transparent texture unique to the skin, and fine-tune the color according to the texture to make the skin color of the wax figure more realistic. After the coloring is completed, the head and limbs are mounted on a fiberglass torso to complete the assembly.
It doesn't seem too difficult to say, but the entire production process, from tailoring to completion, according to the news Zixi inquired, will take at least half a year, and some wax figures will take up to a year because of costumes and different modeling requirements. Therefore, Zixi's wax figure will not be completed until the middle of the year at the earliest.
Standing motionless for more than two hours to complete the entire measurement process, Zixi's body was about to stiffen. Because of the need for the most accurate data, Zixi can only be left to which professionals can fiddle. He didn't want his wax figure to be made and placed in the pavilion, and then someone would point to him and ask, "Who is this?" "Why doesn't it look like it at all".
I don't know how many times Zixi has been to London, and the most famous ones here are, of course, Big Ben, the River Thames, Tower Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, the British Museum and the British Museum, etc., but unfortunately these tourist attractions, Zixi has been here. With no one to accompany him, he won't wander around these places alone in a daze.
In the evening, Zixi followed the flow of people into the Royal Festival Hall, where the London Philharmonic Orchestra's annual concert will be held tonight. Tickets for the concert were sold out a few weeks ago, and that was the ticket that Zixi had obtained through the general manager of FS Group's London branch.
The London Philharmonic Orchestra's concert was conducted by the orchestra's chief conductor, Christopher von Dunany, so it attracted countless music-loving people from all over the world, who came all the way to enjoy it, and tickets were hard to find. Zixi studied at the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California in the United States, and her musical attainments are naturally good, so there is no pressure to enjoy these top concerts.
Watching this kind of concert is not to see any popular concert, especially in the UK, a country where tradition, conservative and fashion are combined, and the dress is very particular about different occasions. If you come to this kind of top-notch concert in a jacket and jeans, you won't even be allowed to enter the door. Men wear formal ties and bow ties, while women wear evening dresses without exception, which is the most basic and essential requirement.
The rigidity of the British is different from the rigidity of the Germans, which is an arrogant and arrogant old-fashioned that goes deep into the bones, and many Britons still regard themselves as gentlemen, and are still immersed in the majesty of the British Empire's fleet dominating the world and the sea more than 100 years ago. For Asians, for the yellow race, the British have a natural contempt and innate pride.
So even though in Asia, China and Japan's GDP surpassed that of Britain early on, but in the face of the Asian yellow race, the British still maintain a condescending gaze, as if the Asian yellow race will always be inferior, and they are not worthy of standing with their high Anglo-Saxon descendants.
The world has always demanded the abandonment of racial discrimination and the equality of race and skin color, especially in Europe and the United States, which have been attacking Chinese mainland on human rights issues. However, the two completely different ways of doing things, both internally and externally, have made racial discrimination in Europe and the United States never disappear. And no matter what class you are in, no matter what age you are, the contempt for the yellow race has long been ingrained.
Zixi saw such a scene in the elegant royal festival hall, a group of British gentlemen who thought they were noble actually stopped an Asian woman in an evening dress, not only made disrespectful and flirtatious words, but also tried to forcibly take the woman away. But the concert hall staff and security personnel standing in the vicinity not only ignored it, but just looked at it and ignored the past, and some even laughed and commented on which Asian woman.
"Young master, it seems that it was the lady you saved in Seoul last time." A bodyguard who followed behind Zixi whispered, "Do you need us...?" The meaning of the words is already obvious.
Sometimes I don't believe that fate really doesn't work, and in less than a month, the fairy queen saved Li Zhiya twice. Once in Seoul, she was molested by several drunk foreigners. This time I came to the UK, and I was actually molested by foreigners again. I just don't know if Li Zhiya was born with peach blossoms, or if her clothes are too sexy, even foreigners are tempted.
Zixi sits on a luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom with a cigarette in her mouth. It wasn't his first time smoking, but it was definitely the longest. Because he took over the role of [Uncle] CRRC Tae-seok, the decadent life, and the living environment, the character who shaped him is a completely inconspicuous and dispensable person in the corner of the city. With this kind of marginal person, it is almost impossible not to smoke or drink. Director Li Zhenfan asked Zixi to find out what he looked like he was smoking, so during this time, if there was nothing to do, Zixi would take out a cigarette and take a few puffs.
Li Zhiya was taken out of the concert hall by several foreigners, but there was no trace of happiness in being rescued. She came to the UK to listen to the concert this time to relieve the sadness and pressure caused by the divorce. In particular, all of his information shows that he is "unmarried", so no one knows about marriage and divorce in Korea. This kind of pressure can't be said to outsiders, and there is no one in Seoul who can share it with her, so she took advantage of her annual leave to come out and relax herself.
was taken to an expensive Rolls-Royce Phantom by several bodyguards, and Li Zhiya had an embarrassing future uncertain. When she saw those Britons who were teasing her, they were powerless in the face of these bodyguards in front of her, and even the security personnel of the concert hall respectfully sent these bodyguards away, Li Zhiya knew how much energy this group of people had. Now the car in front of her shows the identity and status of the owner, as for how expensive the vehicle is, Li Zhiya knows very well that even if she sells herself, she may not be able to afford it. She had imagined in her mind for a moment, who would be the person who would save her? Will a prince on a white horse come to him, as in his dream, to save, protect and cherish his wounded self?
"Get in the car." There was a familiar voice in the car that was both familiar and impossible to refuse.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Zhiya woke up like a dream, isn't Zixi in front of him the "prince" wearing a white horse? Why did he appear here, and why did he save himself again by such coincidence? Could it be that Zixi followed him, saved the beauty again, and made him fall in love with him? Don't talk about Li Zhiya, I'm afraid any girl will have such thoughts at any moment.
"Where do you live? I'll send you back. Zixi glanced at Li Zhiya and said indifferently.
No wonder which Britons will tease her, Li Zhiya is wearing a light cyan slim dress, covered with sable fur shoulders, and her jet-black and shiny hair is combed high into a classical bun. Tall figure and slender legs, especially annoying is her plump and firm breasts and wicker-like thin waist, the whole S woman. Look at her beautiful face again, with willow moon-like pretty eyebrows, big round eyes, a small and tall nose, and bright red and sexy lips like cherries, just like a ripe peach-like royal sister beauty.
"Thank you! This is the second time you've saved me. Li Zhiya didn't know what to say for a while.
"This is also a foreign acquaintance." Zixi smiled, remembering the experience of meeting Li Zhiya several times, and couldn't help but joke: "It's just that every time I see you, it doesn't seem to be a good thing." The first time was when you were drunk and vomited me, the second time was when you knelt down on the TV station to admit your mistake, the third time was molested by a drunk, this time you were harassed, did you attract bees and butterflies or did you go out badly? Do you want to go back to Korea and find a Taoist priest? ”
Li Zhiya is also very helpless, South Korea really has a conflict with her. After more than ten years of marriage, all I got was a sad breakup. Although her acting career is going well, her age has become her Achilles' heel, so that her development in South Korea is not as smooth as she imagined. She has wondered many times if she should end everything in Korea and return to the familiar United States to find her own life.
