Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Since Hayashi Daoqiu has increased the costume budget to 100 million yen, it is naturally impossible for Shinji Soyomi to find ordinary designers to design the costumes for "Onmyoji".

With the help of Shigeru Okada, Shinji Soimi invited Kenzo Takada to serve as the costume design director of "Onmyoji".

In the mid-1960s, Kenzo went to France to study, then worked as a freelance designer, and then opened his first clothing store "Jungle Jap" in Paris.

Prime Minister Shinji was able to invite him because Okada Shigeru and Toei had enough reputation, and Takada Kenzo himself was also very interested in Lin Daoqiu, so he agreed to take the job.

Referring to cultural relics from the Heian period and handed down books, Kenzo Takada and his team worked hard day and night on the costume design of "Onmyoji".

Lin Daoqiu was not involved. He only knew that Prime Minister Shinji asked Okada Shigeru to invite a famous neon designer, but he has not met him yet.

Kenzo Takada is a very responsible and conscientious guy, and he originally planned to meet and chat with Lin Daoqiu.

But as soon as he received the job, he didn't even bother to meet Lin Daoqiu, and had already begun to lead the team to devote himself to the design.

Kuriyama Tomio's work is actually very complicated, but the most important thing is to be responsible for the construction work.

According to Lin Daoqiu's requirements, the buildings in Taiqin Film Village are not of much use at all. If they are not renovated, the filming location can only be moved to another place.

The renovation cost of 500 million yen for the first phase of Hayashi Michiaki made Toei extremely happy. After all, after filming "Onmyoji" here, they can stay here and continue to shoot other period dramas.

Therefore, in addition to Kuriyama Tomio, Okada Shigeru was also very concerned about the supervision of the project. He would come over every once in a while to check on the construction status, and would also put forward his own suggestions from time to time.

The movie has already spent 600 million yen before filming even started. It is estimated that even Kurosawa Akira would not be able to do this kind of thing, but to Lin Daoqiu, this is nothing at all.

In addition to filming in Taiqin Film Village, "Onmyoji" will also go to various places in Neon for filming. In order to select these scenes, Lin Daoqiu and Maekawa Kiyonori went all over Neon.

Fortunately, the neon signs are not very big, but it took Lin Daoqiu a full month to select the filming location for "Onmyoji".

Naturally, there is no need for Lin Daoqiu to intervene in the subsequent communication with the local departments. Shochiku and Toei will naturally handle it on their behalf.

When those local departments heard that their scenic spots were lucky enough to be selected as the filming location for Neon's most expensive movie in history, they naturally gave their full support.

Lin Daoqiu did not expect these people to be so enthusiastic. Once they arrived at the local area, they were dragged to taste the delicious food without even seeing the scenery.

If it weren't for Maekawa Kiyonori, I might not be able to do anything every day. Drinking and eating with them all the time would be a waste of time.

After running around, Lin Daoqiu gained several pounds, and there were nearly a hundred alternative filming locations.

Since it is a blockbuster film, famous scenic spots cannot be missed, but it must be in line with the Heian period, otherwise it will not be a good time-travel movie.

In the past, the costume fitting of the Neon crew was not a big scene. They called a few leading actors over, gave them the prepared clothes to put on, then cut the clothes according to their figures, and finally took a final makeup photo.

.

Judging from the previous filming experience of Kuriyama Tomio and Soyomi Shinji, the crew's costume fitting can only be completed in a week at most.

But this time, the scale of the fittings for "Onmyoji" can be said to be a bit unprecedented. There are more than a dozen main characters, as well as some supporting characters, and even some minor characters who only appeared once or twice. They were called in for fittings. This is simply

Something unheard of.

This time, there are as many as 20 pieces of Nomura Takeshi's costumes, and all of them are customized, and they are all worth 30 million yen.

Hiroko Yakushimaru also has more than a dozen sets of costumes, which cost more than 20 million yuan.

As for the remaining supporting characters, there are hundreds of sets of clothes in total. In the end, 100 million yen was not enough, and in the end, several more millions were needed to get it done.

When Tomio Kuriyama and Shinji Soyomi saw the final report, the expressions on their faces showed no other reaction except shock.

The costumes alone cost more than 100 million yen. I am afraid they will never have the opportunity to shoot such a luxurious movie in their lifetime. They are truly lucky to be able to participate in this production.

During the fitting, Lin Daoqiu made a rare appearance and admired the costumes together with the other creatives.

For Lin Daoqiu, he didn't understand traditional neon clothing at all, and even if he had seen it, he had no impression at all.

However, Tomio Kuriyama and Shinji Aishimei both praised it repeatedly. Compared with Kenzo Takada's work, it should be very good.

"Yes, yes, thank you for your hard work this time."

It can be said that Xiangmi Shinji has been working overtime every day for clothing matters during this period. Compared with when Lin Daoqiu saw him before, he was much thinner, but he, Lin Daoqiu, ran out to play.

After inspection, I have gained a few pounds compared to before.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for the award. These are all things that I am responsible for. Since you gave me the responsibility for this matter, I will naturally handle the matter well. Fortunately, I did not live up to your expectations in the end, so I am very satisfied."

Already."

Shinji Soimi was naturally very happy for Lin Daoqiu's praise. This time he made these clothes with Kenzo Takada, a well-known neon designer, and Shinji Soimi was very proud of them.

Although I don’t know what Lin Daoqiu plans to do with these clothes after filming "Onmyoji".

But in Shinji Soimi's view, these clothes will definitely become some very important props for Toei in filming period dramas in the future. After all, it is impossible for Hayashi Daoqiu to destroy these clothes after filming.

But what Shinji Soimi didn't know was that Lin Daoqiu really planned to do this. Except for a few important costumes of the leading actors that he planned to keep, he also planned to destroy the costumes of other supporting roles.

It's just that he hasn't had time to tell Prime Minister Shinji these words yet. After all, the other party didn't ask him, so Lin Daoqiu naturally wouldn't take the initiative to say it.

This time, the fitting trial for "Onmyoji" took a full month, including modifications and makeup photos. The preparation for the filming of "Onmyoji" has progressed to about 70%. Now we just have to wait for the reconstruction of Taiqin Film Village.

Once completed, you can enter the test shooting stage.
