Chapter 425 The Styling Director Has Been Replaced, Do a Good Job This Time!

"Indeed. Hmm?" Xiao Zhao nodded breathlessly.

Then she frowned. She didn't cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it either?

But then she realized.

That's right. She didn't cause trouble, but she was afraid of it either.

She leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh, "It's over. He won't remember a nobody like me and be able to tell who I am, right? I just... I'll have to talk to him for a few days during the next casting period. I hope he won't recognize me?"

Qi Qi sighed and shook her head, "Not necessarily. He has a good brain and can write songs. His hearing should be quite sharp."

Xiao Zhao covered his forehead with a look of despair, "I didn't say anything too much just now, did I?"

"You just excitedly praised your colleagues at the door of your own crew."

"God. The boss's love must not disappear. I can't lose this job."

"I don't know if love will disappear, but you will disappear if you don't have money to eat."

Xiao Zhao sighed in frustration, "Anyway, he didn't see me. I caught a cold from today. I wore a mask and my voice was hoarse!"

"Oh, have you watched too many domineering CEO dramas? How can he be in the mood to deal with you, little Karami? Don't worry."

...

She was right. Chen Xiao recognized the voice and didn't think about who that person was. At this time, she was walking out of the tea room with a cup of coffee and heading towards the project center of "Chinese Paladin III".

He heard their conversation.

But they were not wrong.

The clothes of "Chinese Paladin I" were indeed a bit ordinary.

I heard that the styling director of "Chinese Paladin III" has been replaced. Let's do a good job this time.

As soon as he walked into the office area of ​​"Chinese Paladin III", he met the deputy director Jiang Danxia.

Jiang Danxia seemed to be surprised that he came suddenly, and greeted him in surprise, "Hello, Director Chen."

"Good morning, Director Jiang, the neighbors have moved, when will you move?"

"Our crew is very busy these two days, wait until the middle and late part of the month, or wait until the shooting starts before moving."

"Okay, Director Jiang, you are busy."

After saying goodbye to Jiang Danxia, ​​Chen Xiao walked to the director's office with a greeting of "Hello, Director Chen", knocked on the door and got the answer of "Come in", and pushed the door open.

Fang Rong put down the materials in his hand and greeted with a smile, "Boss, please sit down. How come you have time to come here today?"

"I came here this morning to assign tasks to the creative team of "Hachiko: A Dog's Story". I came to see you right after the meeting."

Fang Rong opened the cabinet, "What would you like to drink?"

"Here." Chen Xiao shook the coffee in his hand, sat on the sofa, and went straight to the point and asked, "Director Fang, how are the data of "This Life"?"

Fang Rong sat opposite him, "Yesterday's total data ranked third in the same period, just a little behind the second."

"Not bad."

"We will be casting in a few days, there should be another wave of popularity, and we should be able to rush to the first place by then." Fang Rong poured himself a glass of water.

Chen Xiao continued to ask, "How is the casting going?"

"The casting will start on the 20th, and we are selecting candidates now. Including the supporting roles, they are all natural-looking, beautiful and handsome in their own ways. They all have good appearance conditions, and we will just look at their acting skills and temperament when selecting them."

Chen Xiao nodded, "It's a little later than expected, but it's okay. "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" is filmed in the capital, so there is no problem with the time."

The reason for filming in the capital is that the company is planning to build the fourth Dongchuan Resort in the suburbs of the capital. The first three are in Qiongzhou, Shanghai, and Zibo. With the one in Boston, this is the fifth.

It will not be able to catch up with "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Frozen 2", but it is expected to open early next year.

"Hachiko: A Dog's Story" was filmed nearby, which just happened to divert traffic to the resort.

There is no problem with the location, he has been in the capital. But in terms of time, he has to cast for two dramas at the same time in the second half of the month, which is a bit busy.

Chen Xiao took a sip of coffee and continued to ask, "I'm quite pressed for time. There shouldn't be any major problems with the casting this time, right?"

"There's no major problem at the moment. Someone with connections has contacted us, but their skills are not bad and their background is not too strong, so you don't need to worry about it."

"That's good. It's better to be less worried."

Fang Rong smiled and glanced at the clock on the wall. "You didn't even say hello in advance. I made an appointment with the styling director and art director at 10:15 to look at the character's styling design drawings. Let's go together?"

"Okay."

Chen Xiao stood up and walked out of the office with Fang Rong to the small meeting room next to the art group.

The styling director hasn't arrived yet, so the two have to wait for a while, so it's a good time to chat.

Fang Rong walked to the computer against the wall of the conference table and pressed the power button.

Chen Xiao walked to the opposite side of the projection, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Is the styling director this time the same as that of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"?"

In some crews, the art director also serves as the styling director, coordinating the scene styling and character styling. However, generally, crews with sufficient budgets will separate art directors and styling directors. The styling director belongs to the art group to ensure that the character's makeup fits the overall visual style.

When I came to explain the script to you before, the styling director had not yet joined the crew, so he had never met him.

Fang Rong replied: "You think "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" is ordinary, so we changed people this time. The one we invited this time is Sun Hao. Have you heard of him?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "Maybe I have heard of him, but I can't remember him for a while."

Fang Rong glanced at him.

Why are you so cautious when speaking.

Fang Rong looked at the projection, and his peripheral vision swept to the half-open door, and he reacted instantly. Comrade Chen is cautious enough. He is worried that if he answers "I haven't heard of it", Sun Hao will come over and hear it, and he will feel uncomfortable, right?

He is a homebody, but his mind is not a homebody at all.

Fang Rong muttered to himself for a while, and continued to explain: "Sun Hao is a stylist who specializes in fairy puppet dramas. He has also done styling for dramas before. Don't look at him as he is only in his early 30s and is considered a newcomer in this industry. But his reputation is not bad, he works seriously, and his aesthetics are online."

Chen Xiao nodded and took a sip of coffee.

Fairy puppet dramas are also related, so it's okay.

Fang Rong continued to introduce: "He did the styling for an ancient puppet drama last year, and it forced the film with a rubbish plot to a higher level. Among Doujiang's 4.8 points, 1.6 are his. I told him that we want to improve the aesthetics of domestic entertainment, and he patted his chest and promised me that he would definitely highlight the characteristics of the protagonist."

"It's good to have the ability," Chen Xiao put down the coffee and asked, "What stage is it now?"

"Last week, we had a preliminary discussion and determined the overall shooting style. The stylist went back to design the concept map. Today is the first submission."

Chen Xiao understood.

To put it bluntly, it's just getting started.

Next, the director, art director and stylist need to discuss repeatedly, give feedback and make revisions many times until they are satisfied.

Then refine it.

After the actors are selected, they will be optimized and adjusted according to their looks.

Just when I thought of this, there was a knock on the half-closed door, and two people in their thirties and forties walked in.
