Chapter 69: Strange Rumors
This movie that was filmed and produced with a huge amount of money is called "Jianghu".
Directed by the well-known director Li Yan.
Li Yan is one of the top directors in Chinese film directors and can be called the first Chinese martial arts film director. is a director that Zeng Xin likes very much.
The martial arts movies he shot are the most ancient, the world created is beautiful but there is no lack of cruelty in reality, and the deep meaning of the story is even more impressive, which can give people a strong sense of involvement.
It even feels like this is what martial arts should be.
Eight years ago, he won awards at two major international film festivals with the martial arts film "Qiankun", becoming the first person in the history of Chinese cinema to win two international awards, and also the most nominated at international film festivals.
Li Yan has not released any new works since "Qiankun", and some people on the Internet have called on him to publish new works every year, and they are full of expectations for him.
Now, after eight years, he has made another masterpiece, and you can imagine how much energy Li Yan will put into the movie "Jianghu".
Zeng Xin remembered that the previous life "Jianghu" caused an uproar on the Internet as soon as it was announced that it would be filmed, and the popularity remained high, becoming the most anticipated movie at that time.
After 14 months of filming and a year of post-production, the film lived up to expectations, with record-breaking box office and rave reviews, and despite its lack of criticism, the film was a huge success.
And the even more successful thing is that the movie "Jianghu" has refreshed Li Yan's international award-winning record and nomination record.
Zeng Xin remembers that the costume design of "Jianghu" was nominated for two major international film festivals, although it did not win the award in the end, it was also a great honor, and the value of the designer rose with the tide.
At the beginning, all the costume designs of "Jianghu" were created by the well-known JD (cutting-edge fashion) team in China, which is very mature and strong, and the crew has rich experience in creation.
Zeng Xin now wants to compete with them, and the pressure is not small.
As for the other two TV series, Zeng Xin's impression is not very big, she doesn't like to watch TV series very much, unless it is popular, has a high degree of topicality or has Wei Jin participated, otherwise she doesn't know at all.
Zeng Xin spent four days designing a set of costumes for the male and female protagonists of "Jianghu", and when the time came, he delivered the manuscript on time, and the next thing was to wait for a reply.
Waiting for a response can be painful, especially when the hope is greater.
However, Zeng Xin didn't have too much thought about this because she was busy with other designs, and when she received a call from Yu Hua saying that "Jianghu" had replied, she suddenly realized that three days had passed so soon!
"Isn't it so fast~" Yu Hua on the other end of the phone said in a relaxed tone.
"And what was the result?"
"Guess."
"Listening to your voice should be good news."
"It's good news, but it's not entirely good news."
"How so?"
"The other party only chose to leave the design drawings of the male protagonist's clothing."
"It's good to get the right to design the male lead's clothing." Zeng Xin said happily.
"If you think so, I'm relieved." Yu Hua said with a smile.
Then the two chatted about the competition for the right to design the costume, according to Yu Hua, the competition was very fierce this time, and the heroine's fashion design right was obtained by the cutting-edge fashion team.
Originally, cutting-edge fashion wanted to cover the costume design of all the main characters in the play, but the producer took into account the time problem and Zeng Xin's outstanding design, so the costume design rights of the male and female protagonists were separated.
It is worth mentioning that there are 60 sets of costumes for the female protagonist in this movie, while there are only 10 sets for the male protagonist, so Yu Hua won Zeng Xin the right to design the second man's costumes.
In the end, Yu Hua told Zeng Xin that he would go with her to meet the chief artist of "Jianghu" to sign the contract the afternoon after tomorrow.
Zeng Xinying, the day after tomorrow happened to be Sunday and the first day of the May Day holiday, and she had time.
Originally, signing a contract with the crew before was just Yu Hua coming forward, but the chief artist of "Jianghu" wanted to communicate directly with Zeng Xin because he had some problems, so he asked Zeng Xin to come forward on the day of signing the contract.
Zeng Xin remembered that the chief artist of "Jianghu" was called Hao Chuan, a well-known name in the industry, and one of the legendary students of the fashion design major of A University.
In the previous life, she was so focused on Wei Jin that she was not interested in anyone else, but in this life, she was a little looking forward to seeing this legendary legendary brother.
So, when I saw Hao Chuan in Hao Chuan's studio on Sunday, the design was affirmed by him, and Zeng Xin was a little excited and happy.
I saw that when she happily signed the contract and left, she heard some strange rumors about her from Hao Chuan's subordinates.
