Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 130 Starting with Clothes

The next day, Leng Yuanliang took Ma Mingchuan to the hotel to pick up Lin Daoqiu early in the morning, because they were going to visit the China Film Cultural City today.

On December 1974, 12, in order to promote Chinese culture and provide a place for private production organizations to make films, Baodao China Film Studio spent huge sums of money to build a "Chinese Film Culture Museum" imitating traditional Chinese architecture. city"

By 1978, the China Film Cultural City, covering an area of ​​1 square meters, had become the largest production base in Asia, and many films shot in Baodao would be given priority here.

Traveling through the film and television city makes people feel as if they have passed away, as if they have suddenly traveled back to a certain dynasty in history.

Other people's feelings may not be so strong, but Lin Daoqiu is different. He himself is a person who traveled from the future, and his feelings will only be more than others.

"There are some buildings imitating the Song Dynasty here, and there are buildings imitating the Ming and Qing Dynasties over there. If necessary, they can be remodeled according to Mr. Lin's requirements."

The task Leng Yuanliang received this time was to assist Lin Daoqiu in filming this "Lotus Contest", while Ma Mingchuan was in charge of monitoring the other party to prevent him from crossing the line.

"It's pretty good here, the place is big, and the building has a sense of history at first glance. The quality of the drama will definitely be very good. I like it very much."

Although it is not comparable to Hengdian in later generations, it was very rare to have a place like China Film Culture City at this time in 1978.

"As long as Mr. Lin is satisfied, I believe that with Mr. Lin's skillful hands, a popular TV series will definitely be produced."

"Then borrow the good words from Section Chief Leng, hahaha..."

The two of them laughed at the same time, and even Zheng Danrui, who was beside Lin Daoqiu, also laughed together.

On the other hand, Ma Mingchuan who was next to him kept silent all the time, as if he was someone who couldn't laugh at all.

Just a simple circle, Lin Daoqiu didn't intend to finish shopping here today, after all, there is still plenty of time in the future, but he has already picked a few places, intending to use them as the filming locations of "Lotus Hegemony".

As for where to choose Nangongbao, Lin Daoqiu plans to make a decision after careful investigation. After all, this is the most critical building in "Lotus Hegemony", so it must not be sloppy.

While eating, Lin Daoqiu suddenly asked Leng Yuanliang about tailoring.

"Mr. Lin, don't worry about tailoring. We have many tailors in the props department under China Film Group. They are all veterans for many years and can definitely meet your requirements."

Leng Yuanliang's words still sound very reliable, but this time Lin Daoqiu's request may be beyond his imagination.

For the current producers and directors, the first consideration when filming a drama is definitely not clothing, but other things such as budget and actors.

But Lin Daoqiu is different. Since he wants to make a big costume drama, he has to start with all kinds of small details, and then try to do his best.

Although Bai Yuchuan is not the number one heroine, she has the most roles and is also the most outstanding role.
Moreover, her clothing is divided into men's clothing and women's clothing. It must be designed well to make people feel bright.

As for Zhang Guorong's Duanlang, just like his name, he is a prodigal son, indifferent to fame and fortune by nature, and he is free and unrestrained. Although he looks like a cold-blooded and ruthless killer, he is actually a kind person in his heart.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu had to discuss his clothes with Zhang Shuping before deciding on them. As for the rest of the Nangong family, Lin Daoqiu set the premise for their clothes to be a kind of elegant and noble dress, to set off their identities.

After eating with Leng Yuanliang and the others, they sent Lin Daoqiu back to the hotel.

Not long after he returned to the room, Wen Jun brought someone over.

"Mr. Lin, hello."

Zhang Shuping also just got off the plane. In fact, until now, he doesn't know why Lin Daoqiu named him to be the art director of this "Lotus Hegemony".

"Ah Ping, you're being polite. You can just call me Aqiu from now on."

Although Lin Daoqiu said this, Zhang Shuping shook his head again and again, he didn't want to be so casual, and he felt that what Lin Daoqiu said was just polite, if he took it seriously, it would be too shameless.

Seeing the other party's cautious appearance, Lin Daoqiu didn't bother to say anything. I believe it would not take long before he knew that he was not joking.

"Originally, I should let you rest first after getting off the plane, but I just came back from China Film Culture City, and I have a lot of thoughts in my mind, so I plan to chat with you."

Zhang Shuping was very happy to communicate with Lin Daoqiu. After all, he was the first art designer for the crew of a TV series, and he didn't know what to do in many places.

"Mr. Lin, you are being polite. Since I have taken this job, I will naturally work hard. You don't need to be too polite to me."

Patting the other person on the shoulder, Lin Daoqiu asked Zhang Shuping to sit down, poured him a glass of water, and then returned to the bed and sat cross-legged.

"Let me start with the costumes of the actors first, and then start with the setting after I have selected a good location."

"Do you design costumes for actors?"

Although he has not yet participated in the production of film and television dramas, Zhang Shuping has watched many movies and TV dramas.

To be honest, the costumes in those dramas couldn’t catch his eyes at all. He even felt that if the directors or producers who made movies were willing to spend a little time and energy on getting the costumes right, it would be of great benefit to the film. improvement.

But it's a pity that most people in the film and television industry don't pay much attention to these things. At first Zhang Shuping even thought that Lin Daoqiu called him just to let him design something casually, but he didn't expect the other party to pay so much attention to it.

"That's right. Today's film and television dramas have very low requirements for costumes. They basically make do with it. I think this is inappropriate. At least from now on, in my future films, the costumes of the actors will be very important." part of the

Zhang Shuping didn't expect Lin Daoqiu to pay so much attention to art, which made him a little overjoyed. At least this trip to Baodao will not be a boring journey.

"Mr. Lin is right. I have watched a lot of film and television dramas before, and I really feel that their costume designs are too perfunctory. If they can do a better job, it will be of great benefit to the film."

The two of them seemed to have a lot to say, from the costume styling to how to build Nangongbao.

Wen Jun also gave some suggestions from time to time, and the three of them stayed in the room all afternoon, slowly discussing some details of "Lotus Contest".

They didn't seem to stop until it was dark outside. If Zheng Danrui hadn't knocked on the door and asked them to go out for dinner, Lin Daoqiu and the others would have continued to discuss like this.
