They were all so into the drama!

In fairy tale dramas these days, it has not become popular to shoot under a green screen, and then rely entirely on post-production operations.

Nowadays, I still prefer to shoot on location.

Just like this time for "A Thousand Bones of Flowers", a lot of time and energy was spent just selecting the location for filming in the early stage.

The crew's official first stop was in a county in southwest Guangdong.

The river here meanders, and there is a faint mist steaming up from the distant peaks. Bamboo shadows on the Bijiang River, mountains and rivers contrasting each other, the scenery is handsome and clear,

In addition to Guilin's landscape, which is known as "the best in the world", there are so many places in western Guangdong that are as beautiful as this but are not well-known!

The beautiful scenery makes it the most suitable location for fairy tale dramas.

Moreover, these places are less crowded and cheaper!

In order to develop the tourism industry, the local government saw that a large film crew was willing to come over for filming, so they naturally patted their chests and promised to provide help...

This is the advantage of choosing this place to shoot, but naturally there are also some disadvantages!

Compared with Zhejiang Province, which is often chosen as a filming location by major film crews, the infrastructure in western Guangdong is obviously worse than that, and the conditions can even be said to be relatively difficult.

The crew came over to take a look and found that even the most basic accommodation was not enough. In the end, the authorities came to help and rented some private houses from local people to get enough rooms.

In addition, there are also issues such as diet and living habits, which are all problems!

The crew members are used to hardships, so they don't think there's anything wrong with it. It's just the group of delicate actresses who complain endlessly.

Everything else is bearable, except that there are too many mosquitoes here and they are too bad.

When filming, I stayed by the water or in the grass for a while, and my exposed arms and legs were covered in bumps and bumps from mosquito bites.

Moreover, these mosquitoes are also venomous. When bitten, they will be red and swollen. For people with special physiques, they may even look as if they have been beaten...

Zhao Liying, who has always been able to endure hardships, looked at her face that was red and swollen due to mosquito bites in the makeup mirror, and couldn't help muttering dissatisfiedly:

"What's wrong with biting? I have to bite on the face!"

Having said this, she couldn't help but look up at the makeup artist beside her and asked:

"Sister, can the foundation cover it?"

When the makeup artist sister heard this, she immediately smiled and promised:

"Don't worry, you won't be able to tell during the filming!"

"What if we get a closer look in person?"

"Well, then there's nothing we can do..." the makeup artist sister shook her head.

Hearing what the makeup artist sister said, Xiao Zhao did not relax, but continued to worry:

"I don't know if it can go away in the past two days..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the dressing room, and Xiao Zhao’s assistant walked in and informed:

"Sister Ying, the next scene has been postponed!"

When Xiao Zhao heard this, he suddenly said strangely:

"Postponed?"

"Ang, the big boss has just arrived on the set. After walking around, he is not satisfied with the action scenes in the play. Now he is asking someone to redesign it..."

Hearing the assistant's words, Xiao Zhao's eyes suddenly widened and he exclaimed:

"Big Boss, won't he be able to join the group in two days?"

Two days ago, she was still eagerly looking forward to seeing Huo Mingjie soon, but now with such a face, she hopes that Huo Mingjie can come again in two days...

"I heard that there was something going on at the costume and props team, so I came over in advance."

Xiao Zhao didn't listen much, knowing that Huo Mingjie had already arrived in advance.

She sat on the makeup stool and stared at her face in the mirror for a moment. Then she looked up at the makeup artist beside her and hesitated to speak.

The makeup artist sister liked her cute and pitiful look the most. She immediately laughed, nodded and said:

"I try my best not to let others see it!"

Xiao Zhao reached out and hugged the makeup artist sister gratefully, then quickly sat down and waited for her makeup...

At this time, on the other side of the set, Huo Mingjie had a stern face and said to the crew's martial arts directors:

"Although it is a fairy tale drama, is it possible that Cheng Cheng can only stand in place and pose? Is it so easy to get the salary of martial arts actors in this crew?"

Huo Mingjie's tone was not too harsh, and his words were not unpleasant.

But he couldn't stand it anymore. His aura was different now. Just a slight darkening of his face could already give others enough pressure!

Several military commanders blushed, but they did not dare to refute at all.

After some assurances, these few people were let back by Huo Mingjie.

When they were far away, Huo Mingjie shook his head, turned to Zhao Huixia who was following him and frowned:

"Is there something wrong with these guys?"

The reason why Huo Mingjie came to the crew two days early was mainly because the crew had something that he needed to handle in person.

There was something wrong with the costumes and props. The cost of a prop sword exceeded 10,000 yuan. The leading actor's costume is priced at 37,000 yuan!

The company now has ample funds on its books, so the investment in "Flower Thousand Bones" this time is very large, with 80 million directly spent.

The actors and actresses are in-house, the filming team is in-house, and even the special effects company in post-production is in-house.

Costs in many places have been reduced so much that most of the investment can be invested in the TV series itself.

The crew with sufficient funds can choose to shoot in real locations as they like, and all kinds of hardware facilities are available. In order to achieve the quality of the TV series, even the costumes and props were specially customized.

But even if it is custom-made, the price can't be so exaggerated!

In fact, it is similar to the joke of "a straw hat for 2,000 yuan" made by the crew of "Nanjing" back then. It's just that a rat and a borer wanted to take the opportunity to make money...

Now that Huo Mingjie came over and saw the level of the crew's martial arts directors, he couldn't help but wonder if the money of the martial arts directors was also embezzled by someone, and a few rotten fish and shrimp were found to make up the number for the crew...

Hearing her boss's words, Zhao Huixia immediately said in a deep voice:

"I'll check it right away!"

She really didn't think this was her boss's random guess.

Speaking of which, although Huo Mingjie doesn't shoot action scenes very often, he has some rumors and reputation in the martial arts circle.

If the current martial arts directors of the crew are really professional martial arts directors in the industry, then there is a high probability that they dare not fool around in front of Huo Mingjie...

Now that the company is big, the uncle and nephew can't keep their energy on the company, so these messy things are inevitable.

The main reason is that this is the trend in the industry these days. Everyone likes to take advantage of others to make some money and cheat the coal bosses and investors.

No wonder people say they miss coal bosses in the future, because they know "use professional people to do professional things".

To put it bluntly, isn't it that coal bosses don't understand the twists and turns inside, which makes it convenient for them to take advantage of others and make a lot of money...

At this time, everyone in the crew knew that the big boss was angry, and even director Lin Yufen didn't dare to come over at this time.

Only Tao Huanhuan was not afraid at all. At this time, she pushed the door and walked in with clothes in her hand, looked at Huo Mingjie and asked:

"Is it over? Then come with me to try on the costumes!"

Tao Huanhuan and Huo Mingjie knew each other very well. The popular look of "Yin Lingzi" was created by her. Later, Huo Mingjie invited her to Green Shade Media.

Compared with modern looks, she is better at ancient costumes, and she also particularly likes the styles of fairy tales and myths.

Huo Mingjie naturally didn't want the public to mention "The Journey of Flower" starring him as the "pioneer of funeral style" in the future.

So he was particularly concerned about the clothing style.

As soon as this film and television project was confirmed, Tao Huanhuan was directly decided to host it.

Tao Huanhuan also really likes this kind of fairy style that can better give play to her wild imagination, so she devoted herself to the design of the style, and then found out the tricks of the costumes and props of the crew...

Seeing Tao Huanhuan coming with the costumes at this time, Huo Mingjie couldn't refuse, so he could only cooperate with her to confirm his style in the play.

The clothes of the male protagonist "Bai Zihua" are all white.

There is no way, after all, it is the setting in the original book.

But the plain color of the clothes does not mean that you can't make some patterns!

The plain white robe is made of high-quality material, and the lapels are embroidered with silver decorative patterns, which looks like a flowing and gorgeous feeling.

These clothes look valuable, no wonder those bastards who made the props and costumes dared to quote such a high price.

If Tao Huanhuan hadn't been familiar with the inside story, had a straightforward temper and wasn't afraid of offending people, I'm afraid Huo Mingjie wouldn't have noticed anything wrong when he was about to press...

The makeup design that Tao Huanhuan is most satisfied with so far is the Yin Lingzi look she made for Huo Mingjie in the crew of "Jingwei Filling the Sea".

It's a pity that Huo Mingjie was always filming modern idol dramas in the next two years, leaving her with no room to play.

This time she got a rare opportunity, and she was even more excited, and she personally did Huo Mingjie's makeup and styling.

But speaking of it, the role of "Bai Zihua" is not like "Yin Lingzi" or "Demon Lord Chonglou", where there is plenty of room for her to play.

A white dress, a jade crown and hair...

Eight words are enough to summarize this makeup.

After all, this kind of fairy-like, lonely, cold, extraordinary and indifferent image setting, except for the small details such as clothes and accessories, the overall shape is not fancy at all.

The setting of "Bai Zihua" is "white clothes like a painting, handsome and flawless appearance", "elegant and indifferent, unattainable".

This kind of character image, not only needs to be good-looking, but also the demeanor and temperament are indispensable.

Some actors actually look good, but they can't support this kind of role, and this is the key!

Looking at Huo Mingjie, who has already done the character makeup, Tao Huanhuan's eyes flashed with a hint of pride, and then nodded complacently.

Sure enough, only Huo Mingjie's face is worthy of his aesthetics!

In order to design the character image, Tao Huanhuan has read the original book and the script to pieces, and has already outlined a clear image of the character "Bai Zihua" in his mind.

"Come on, show me your cold face. Changliu Immortal must be aloof and untainted by the dust!"

Huo Mingjie was very cooperative when he heard this. He restrained his expression and looked at Tao Huanhuan beside him.

His expression was indifferent and cold, his temperament was aloof and ethereal, and his appearance was elegant. The first impression he gave people was that strangers were not allowed to enter and he was unattainable.

But at this time, Huo Mingjie's eyes were like the moonlight, not the kind of ruthless and bone-chilling coldness, but deep and restrained, with great love in his heart!

"Aloof and untainted by the dust" is not just a cold face.

The expression on the face should be cold and indifferent, but it must not be a wooden man. You must be able to use the subtle details such as eyes and eyebrows to reflect the emotional changes of the character.

There are enough things in this that some traffic fresh meat will study for half a lifetime!

Looking at the "Bai Zi Hua" that looked like it came out of a book, Tao Huanhuan could no longer restrain his excitement and said:

"Yes, yes, that's the look... I also have personally designed and customized accessories and swords. I'm going to get them now!"

Then, before Huo Mingjie could say anything, Tao Huanhuan, who couldn't wait to admire his "perfect work" this time, turned around and ran out.

Huo Mingjie looked at the furious Tao Huanhuan, couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and then said to the assistant beside him:

"You should also go and help get it. I'm afraid there are a lot of bits and pieces."

The assistant immediately nodded in agreement and followed Tao Huanhuan.

Huo Mingjie turned around and looked at himself in the makeup mirror.

Hey, don’t tell me, Tao Huanhuan’s makeup design is okay.

At this moment, there were two knocks on the door, and the ajar door of the lounge was gently pushed open.

Zhao Liying, who was already wearing makeup and wearing two cute buns on her head, was picking at the crack of the door, leaning her head in and shouting softly:

"Boss, are you still there?"

Although she was very reluctant to let Huo Mingjie see her current appearance, the big boss came over, and she had to come over and say hello no matter what...

Then he stretched his head to look at Xiao Zhao who came in, and saw a figure dressed in white with long hair like a waterfall. Even though his back was turned to him, he could still see his extraordinary figure.

Huo Mingjie, who heard the noise, turned around and looked at the door.

As his figure moved, the gorgeous silver lines on the plain robe he was wearing immediately seemed to flow, as if a silver halo enveloped his whole body, making him look even more fairy-like.

The handsome and perfect face is so easy to see and gives people a sense of illusion.

But now, between the eyebrows and eyes of that astonishing heavenly being, Huo Mingjie looked a little more aloof and arrogant than usual. His whole person looked so holy that no one dared to have the slightest desire for him.

At this time, Zhao Liying was in a daze and could only stare at Huo Mingjie in front of her.

Looking at Xiao Zhao standing at the door with a cute look on his face, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but have a smile on his face.

But he quickly returned to his cold and pure demeanor, deliberately frowned, and said unhurriedly:

"Now that you have joined my sect, you will call me master from now on!"

This was originally a joke made by Huo Mingjie on a whim as both of them were wearing costumes from the play.

But at this time, Xiao Zhao obviously did not hear Huo Mingjie's joking tone. After being stunned for a moment, he actually said in a crisp and obedient voice:

"master!"

Hey, this girl is quite cooperative...
