Chapter 209 The price of beauty
There is a saying: prop masters of fashion dramas must understand life, while prop masters of costume dramas must have culture.

If you accidentally use the wrong props, your fame will be in vain.

Netizens have summed up various goof shots, and the most common one is the stirrup, which is claimed to be the product of thousands of years.

According to data records, the earliest real stirrup discovered so far was unearthed from the tomb of Feng Sufu, a general of the Northern Yan Dynasty, around the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

However, in many Han Dynasty dramas and even earlier historical dramas, there are close-ups of stirrups. Such mistakes have occurred in "Hanwu Emperor" and "Daqin Zhidao".

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu and cut off the first section of the generation. Cao Cao's horses trampled on a chili field, and Cao soldiers gnawed corn cobs to satisfy their hunger.

In the Han Palace Feiyan, Zhao Feiyan, who was selected into the palace, hid the promise ring in a baked sweet potato and sent it to the lover outside the palace...

But in fact, peppers, corn, and sweet potatoes were introduced in the Ming Dynasty.

These are trivial matters. The most troublesome thing is the choice of props and utensils. Props masters usually avoid the same styles as unearthed cultural relics.Because the bronze wares and porcelain wares in the homes of ancient princes were custom-made, they were all unique and orphaned products.

Props for fashion dramas are much easier. They can be used directly for daily decorations at home or popular brand clothes and bags. At most, the matching will damage the style, but there will be no principled mistakes.

Funding is simpler, and the modern commodities involved in fashion dramas can seek the help of sponsors, which also saves a lot of money for the crew.

Therefore, there are very few close-up shots of props in costume dramas. Many bronze and lacquerware are made of wood or plastic, and the outside is coated with a special layer of lacquer, which can be seen from a distance.

Large quantities can also go to Taobao.

Unless the director has special needs for the lens, exquisite props will be customized.The price is very expensive, just tens of thousands per piece.For props that are more pretentious, they often go to Panjiayuan to hunt for treasures and buy high imitation A goods to show their face.

I heard from Sister Hua that the enthroned dragon robe that Bing Bing photographed Wu Meiniang weighed 25 kilograms and was worth 50 yuan. It was all handmade and was completed by 26 workers for three consecutive months.

She alone has as many as 260 sets of costumes, and the whole group of actors has more than 1000 sets of costumes.The most exaggerated thing is that you only wear it once, and then lie quietly in the warehouse after the shooting, and no one cares about it anymore.

Especially for popular dramas, the clothing is highly recognizable and it is difficult to reuse it. The hope of seeing the sun again is slim.Until now, that valuable dragon robe has been collected by Bingbing privately.

Why do many little flowers like to play ancient costumes?

Of course it is beautiful enough!

The skin can be broken by blowing bombs, all kinds of beautiful and unnecessary clothes, all the special effects around you...

Chatting with makeup ladies, I like to wear young makeup, but I am most afraid of encountering old-age special effects makeup.First, the actor's own face is molded and sculpted to order a special fake skin. The production of this skin alone takes at least two months.

It takes at least five or six hours to put on the fake mask carefully, and then repair and fix the makeup based on it. It takes at least five or six hours each time. Let alone a makeup artist, even celebrities can't sit still.

If an actor goes to work at six o'clock and finishes at 24 o'clock, then the makeup artist will not be able to finish work until one or two o'clock in the morning, and get up at four or five o'clock to prepare for the next day, sleeping for two or three hours is commonplace.

All well-received costume dramas strive for excellence in ancient etiquette.In the first scene of Zhen Huan's biography, the scene of the eunuch holding the whip three times and the officials going to court is still deeply memorable.

During the court, the officials must listen to the government at the imperial gate of the Qianqing Gate, while other Qing palace dramas are discussed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony or the Qianqing Palace.When eunuchs and guards met the emperor's concubines, they had to bow and face the wall, and they could only turn around when the chariot team had gone away.

The palace maids can only sit with their knees wrapped around their clothes when they go to bed at night, waiting for calls at any time.All the details need to be taught to the actors by the etiquette teacher in advance, and they even enter the group training two or three months in advance.On-site monitoring is also required during filming to prevent actors from making mistakes due to nervousness or forgetting.

Sun Niangniang borrowed flower pot sole shoes from the crew one month before the filming started, and practiced at home by herself.Even so, many roads in Hengdian are paved with cobblestones, and it is so easy to fall and sprain your feet.

Those coquettish sluts in the harem look beautiful, especially the queens and concubines. Who would know that the scattered headdresses on their heads weigh more than 20 catties?

Everyone seems to be topping the vat, the whole head is pierced with needles, and after taking it off, they find that their heads are full of bags.

The breathability of the headgear is extremely poor. It was unlucky to catch up with the filming in summer. After a day, my head was extremely itchy, and I wanted to scratch my scalp directly.

The bladder also suffers. It is so difficult to put on costumes. All kinds of cumbersome and complicated, inside and outside add up to seven or eight layers. I dare not drink water at all.

Winter plays are easier for male actors, and they can wear thermal underwear under the costumes.Whenever I see actresses with open breasts in the same group...

As for summer, it's more than 40 degrees, wearing ancient costumes, don't laugh at anyone!

The protagonists are hard, and the extras are not easy. I have been a few times in the Royal Habayashi Army. Each uniform of yours weighs 10 kilograms!

One stop lasts a whole day, even if the camera is only taken from a distance, but the director strictly requires how the guards should stand, with their heads down or at the same level, their legs closed or spread apart, and whoever makes the mistake will get out immediately.

Not to mention the lines, many passages of classical Chinese, many of which were obviously spit out from his own mouth, and his mind was completely confused.

It is also because he has seen too many, Ding Cheng has always been in awe of ancient costumes, and he has never filmed a movie until now.

"Congratulations Juniper for qualifying!"

The recording was finally over today, and the three contestants entered the next round. After sitting for a whole day, everyone was so tired that they went back to the hotel to rest.

Nothing to do in the next few days, I will take my parents to visit the West Lake and enjoy the feeling of paradise on earth.I simply didn't go back to the capital, anyway, I'm going to record the second episode soon, saving myself flying around.

Now that I have money, even Sister Hua said there is no need to rush into filming. Since she is taking the high-quality route, she would rather have less than waste.

After people solve food and clothing, they must naturally pursue a higher spiritual pursuit.According to Sister Hua's plan, she will try to do as little TV dramas as possible in the future, unless they are particularly good scripts and characters.

Already a three-gold film king, how many people envy and hate him when he reaches the top of the mountain, why bother to go down again?
