Ye Shuning knew that now was not the time to be pretentious. As long as the movie made money, she could invest in a textile factory and produce better fabrics herself. With so many garment factories in Nangang, her products would definitely be in short supply.
At that time, she would just write scripts for others and earn profits, or even cooperate with Qin Zongye to invest in movies. She has a lot of classic good stories, and any one of them can be made into a movie and it will be a hit.
Qin Zongye is very principled in his work. He only took Ye Shuning's script away after he and Ye Shuning signed the contract.
He also wanted to ask his company's director to see how much investment the film would require, and wondered if 500,000 would be enough.
After signing the contract, Ye Shuning was not idle either. She started designing the costumes needed for the filming. These costumes had to be made in advance, so her time was very tight.
Ye Shuning went to the research institute and watched several classic martial arts movies. She drew some designs based on the costumes in the movies. This saved Ye Shuning a lot of work. She didn't have to use her brain much. She just had to draw some clothes that looked suitable or make some changes.
Ye Shuning drew more than a dozen designs in one night. The women's clothing was either beautiful or elegant, and the men's clothing was either handsome or flowing. In short, they were all very good-looking clothes. They could fully meet people's visual appreciation requirements.
In particular, the costumes of the male and female protagonists capture their personality traits very well and play an optimization role.
Qin Zongye gave the script to Director Wu from his own company and asked him to take a look at it.
Wu Xiangkun was not a famous director, and it was difficult for him to raise investment to make movies on his own, so he signed with Qin Zongye's film company, so that at least he could get a fixed salary and not go hungry.
Seeing his boss's enthusiastic look, Wu Xiangkun took the script and started reading it. He was immediately attracted to it.
Ye Shuning looked up a lot of information and revised it again and again after combining it with some other scripts before completing this script.
The scenes in the script instantly formed images in Wu Xiangkun's mind. The dialogues, sometimes brilliant, sometimes humorous, sometimes philosophical, as well as the names of the martial arts and the descriptions of the moves, were all refreshing and eye-opening.
The most important thing is that the story is very attractive, one link after another, and fascinating.
After reading the script, Wu Xiangkun said excitedly, "Boss, which great screenwriter did you buy this script from? It's really great. If it's made into a movie, it will definitely be a big hit."
Seeing that Wu Xiangkun was also very sure about the script, Qin Zongye raised his lips and said, "This was written by Miss Shu who came to our company a few days ago to learn scriptwriting."
Wu Xiangkun was quite surprised when he heard this. "Is it the little girl named Shu Ning from a few days ago?"
Qin Zongye nodded and said, "That's her. She studied here for a while and then went back to write the script. It's only now that it's finished. I've decided to invest in this movie.
Wu Xiangkun sighed, "This young lady is quite impressive. She's written such a high-quality script in such a short time. It's only a matter of time before she becomes famous. You'd better keep her well-groomed. Don't let those big companies get wind of her and poach her away."
Qin Zongye said with a smile, "Don't worry about that. We're investing in this film together, and she's one of the owners. Of course, she won't be easily persuaded. Next is the preparations before filming begins. I have some portraits of the male and female protagonists drawn by Miss Shu here. You can refer to them when choosing the casting."
As he spoke, Qin Zongye took out the two portraits that Ye Shuning had drawn before.
Wu Xiangkun took it and his eyes lit up. Not to mention the people on it, the clothes themselves were so beautiful that he had never seen them before.
Qin Zongye said with some pride, "How about it? Beautiful, isn't it? Especially this dress, isn't it beautiful? Miss Shu said that she will design the costumes for the movie. Please choose the role as soon as possible, and we will follow up with the costumes and props as soon as possible.
Ms. Shu also said that she would help design some martial arts moves, which are completely different from the moves in current martial arts movies. She will also participate in the filming when the time comes, so you can discuss it together."
Wu Xiangkun said: "She wrote the script, so it would be nice if we could film together."
Since he is the boss, Wu Xiangkun certainly cannot refuse.
Ye Shuning watched a lot of martial arts movies, and she drew down some of the good-looking fighting moves so that she could use them in the filming of the movie later.
Ye Shuning thought that the costumes used for filming might not necessarily be comfortable to wear, but they must be stylish, wrinkle-free, and beautiful.
The requirements for movie costumes in this era were not so high, but in order to pursue visual effects, Ye Shuning planned to find more suitable fabrics and try her best to make the clothes meet her requirements.
Cotton is currently the most common fabric used in clothing in Nangang, including fashion, casual wear, underwear, and shirts. Its advantages are warmth, a soft, snug fit, excellent moisture absorption, and breathability. However, its disadvantages are its tendency to shrink and wrinkle easily, resulting in a less crisp and aesthetically pleasing appearance, necessitating frequent ironing.
Then this is not suitable for clothes worn in movies. The clothes made for this movie may be used in the future, so Ye Shuning decided to choose silk, chemical fiber or blended fabrics for the movie clothes.
Different clothes require different fabrics, and there are many types of fabrics. She needs to take a good look. She can't just rely on her own imagination, but must base her decision on the actual situation.
The next day, Ye Shuning went to look for cloth shops. She planned to visit several of them.
After visiting several shops, Ye Shuning walked into a large cloth shop, which sold a very complete range of cloths.
As soon as the proprietress saw Ye Shuning, she came over and greeted her, "Miss, what kind of cloth would you like to buy? I can recommend it to you."
Ye Shuning said, "I want to find fabrics suitable for making performance costumes."
The boss lady's eyes lit up when she heard this. Maybe this was a big customer, so she had to use her best skills to introduce him properly.
Then the lady boss pointed to a piece of pink cloth and said, "Miss, we have a full range of fabrics here. We have whatever you want. Let me introduce it to you. For example, this is a soft fabric. This kind of fabric is generally thin and light, has a good drape, and has smooth lines, which makes the clothing outline naturally stretched.
This type of fabric mainly includes knitted fabrics and silk fabrics with loose fabric structure. This piece of cloth is knitted fabric.
Knitted fabrics are often used in clothing design to create simple, straight shapes that reflect the graceful curves of the human body; silk fabrics are often used in loose shapes and pleated shapes to express the fluidity of the fabric lines.
As she spoke, the proprietress took out several kinds of very beautiful silk fabrics.
The new movie is set in ancient times, when silk clothes were indispensable. The silk fabrics in this store are very beautiful, and you can buy some to make clothes.
However, she still needs to discuss it with Qin Zongye. What if they have their own supply channels?
