Moreover, customizing the costumes and props according to the comics is not impossible, nor is it particularly difficult or embarrassing. Lu Ziyao hopes to restore the things and details 100%.
Every work is like the author's child, and of course the author hopes to give it the best possible outcome.
"When I was creating this work, I designed the costumes of the characters in the comics specifically, with their own meanings. I clearly marked every detail and the breakdown diagrams of each piece of clothing. It's basically 100% recreated. Except for the embroidery on two of the wedding dresses, which took some time, the rest shouldn't be too difficult!"
When Lu Ziyao drew these sketches, she was already considering the difficulty of making the finished garments, so it should be okay.
Xu Fan looked at the ancient costume displayed on the projection screen. Whether it was the effect of the ready-made clothes or the exploded diagram, he had an amazing feeling. Moreover, Lu Ziyao did it very carefully. It also wrote what kind of fabric should be used to achieve what kind of effect.
Lu Ziyao is really doing these things with great care.
"The design of this dress is indeed stunning, and it's exactly the same as in the comics. However, many of the fabrics you mentioned are extremely expensive, and the gold thread has to be handcrafted. It's fine for one piece, but if you make multiple pieces, the cost is very high. Furthermore, the embroidery on the two wedding dresses you mentioned isn't just a small area; it's extensive. To embroider it purely by hand would definitely take several months, and the cost would also be very high. From every perspective, it's a bit unsuitable."
Jiang Sisi expressed her own opinion and affirmed Lu Ziyao's design. It would be best if it could be made, but they couldn't ignore everything. The funds they got for costumes and makeup were limited, and the price of purely handmade clothes was naturally not low.
That would cost a lot of money and would also delay the startup time.
Overall, it is still inappropriate.
It’s not that Lu Ziyao’s design is bad, but the conditions don’t allow it.
"Teacher Jiang, what you mean is that if it's possible, there's no problem with you finalizing these clothes, right?"
Lu Ziyao summarized Jiang Sisi's words and said.
"There's definitely no problem with the clothes. You're the original author of the comics, so you're naturally the most familiar with the designs. It would be best if you could recreate them."
Jiang Sisi naturally had the same idea. It would be best if it could be restored, but if it couldn't be restored, it would be close enough.
This is the principle!
The difference is not too big or too outrageous. After all, there are many crews that have been criticized for their costumes and props. They will definitely not make the same mistake in this regard.
Even if it can't be as similar to the comics, at least it should be visually pleasing to the audience!
This is the most basic.
The quality of costumes and props will also affect the viewing experience of the entire drama, and good costumes and props will also add points to the drama.
This is the experience that everyone has summarized after being criticized in recent years.
"But not only the cost, but also the color of the fabric is hard to find and may not be available."
Jiang Sisi picked up one of them at random and studied it carefully with Lu Ziyao. She was not talking nonsense. She was in this field. The color was beautiful, but it was basically not used to make clothes because there was no fabric of this color and it could not be found at present.
Therefore, many beautiful colors and designs can only exist in the drawings, and there will still be a slight color difference between them and the actual finished garments.
"No?" Lu Ziyao rubbed her nose and thought for a moment.
"Yes, there aren't any, and they're not easy to find." Jiang Sisi certainly knew that some colors were very beautiful, but they were difficult to mix, and the resulting feeling wasn't right, so many businesses gave up on them.
It looks good, but what can we do if we can’t do it?
"If not, then dye it!" Lu Ziyao said lightly.
"ah?"
Everyone looked at Lu Ziyao in surprise. What was she talking about? Dye? Is it that easy to dye?
"If fabric of this color could be dyed so easily, we wouldn't have never seen it before." Jiang Sisi felt that Lu Ziyao's words were a bit too easy and she took things too simply.
"Then take your time dyeing it. There's no rush. After all, I still have two wedding dresses that are hand-embroidered, and those will take a long time to complete. It's actually just right!"
Don’t be fooled by what Lu Ziyao said, as it seemed light and easy. In fact, Lu Ziyao had also considered it. It is not easy to do, but it is not impossible.
Besides, there are dyeing masters with superb skills. If you do it, you should either not do it or do it to the best of your ability.
This is Lu Ziyao's philosophy. If you just want to fool around, it's better not to do it.
Jiang Sisi's face wrinkled tightly, she didn't know what to say, but because of her responsibility, her expertise, and the actual situation, she said, "I don't recommend dyeing the cloth. Not to mention whether the color can be adjusted, the process is quite long. After the cloth is produced, it needs to be made into finished clothes, which will definitely take a lot of time, energy, and money. It's not suitable for such an investment at this time."
After Jiang Sisi finished speaking, she couldn't help but look at Xu Fan, hoping that Xu Fan would stand up and speak.
Xu Fan drafted the contract and had a rough idea of how the funding chain would be distributed.
Regardless of whether you know it or not, just from listening to Lu Ziyao saying that all of these need to be done purely by hand, and the construction period is several months, it is obvious that it is not simple, and the money and effort spent will definitely not be small. You should know that it is not suitable for the current preparation situation.
Generally, once you get a project and it's suitable, you can prepare the basic things like actors and sets and start work quickly.
It takes several months to make a piece of clothing. Who can afford to wait?
Especially for TV dramas and movies adapted from novels and comics, many of them take advantage of the current popularity of the novels or comics to be released in one fell swoop.
Of course, some works by great masters are exceptions, after all, they have always been popular and are different.
The specific situation still needs to be analyzed specifically, and it is not possible to generalize.
Jiang Sisi still hoped that Lu Ziyao could be more rational. She could understand Lu Ziyao's idea of doing everything to the best of her ability, but she could still relax her requirements a little, otherwise it would be really difficult to achieve.
