It is often seen that there is news that a star has settled in the wax museum, and a high-level wax figure is enough to make a false one, such as Wu Yifan, Xiu Zhi, Fan Bingbing and so on!
There are also some ugly wax figures crying. When the original Star sees it, he is embarrassed to recognize each other. For example, Li Junji's, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Among the many wax museums, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is one of the highest wax museums in the world. It was originally a wax museum in London, England. At present, it has branches in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Chongqing, China. So, how do wax figures with such high fidelity come out?
The process of making wax figures is very complicated. It takes at least 800 hours for a wax figure to complete. Although the wax making in Madame Tussaud's wax museum is complicated, there is no black technology, almost a technical work to test the craftsmanship of the producer.
The first step is to collect people's data. It's very easy for the living people to do it. Just invite them to measure.
Don't think it's easy. Measurement is also a precise technical work. A star revealed that on the day of measurement, he was required to wear only shorts into the measurement room to ensure that the body data fit me as much as possible. At the beginning of the measurement, the producer took an hour's photos from various angles.
A wax figure of Madame Tussauds requires two groups of stylists, one for the head and the other for the body.
The producer first drew numerous small dots on the star's face, and then strictly molded them by measuring the distance between each dot. The distance between eyebrows, the length of people, the width of mouth corners, etc. were recorded one by one. The whole data is measured and recorded by hand, which is also the tradition of wax museum.
Color is also one of the important data, including hair color, skin color, eye color and so on. There is no black technology, because it depends on the naked eye. The producer will as like as two peas, and put the eye color and shape around the star's eyes, and finally pick out a model that is almost the same as the eye, so as to avoid the chromatic aberration.
Hair is the same. Compare the wig directly and choose the closest one. Isn't it a bit like when you dye your hair, the hairdresser takes out a bunch of samples and asks you, what color do you dye?
We've all seen mission impossible. Is the wax figure of the star like those in the movie that input data and then print it with 3D printer? Not.
The hands are relatively simple to make, a little like hand touch, and directly put their hands in the plaster to make the model.
The production of the head is the most complicated. The production of Madame Tussaud's wax figure is almost purely manual. According to the recorded data and the photos taken, the sculptor will use clay to make the head of the "celebrity", because the first element of the wax figure is the "image", which needs constant modification and comparison with the measurement data and photos.
Then, plaster the head of the mold.
The hot wax should be poured into the plaster mould, and the plaster mould should be removed after cooling.
After the head prototype is made, it enters into a complex processing process. The coloring of eyes, hair and skin is extremely meticulous. Famous people's hair is based on the samples obtained during body measurement, looking for human hair similar to hair quality, and then manually implanted into wax figures one by one.
How to make characters look fresh? Make up is very important. It's much more complicated to make up a wax figure than a real person. What the mold makes is only the basic skin color, but the texture and texture of the skin need to be carefully carved and beautified. For example, when Benny's wax figure was just pulled out of the model, it looked like this, pink drips ↓
