4hw.org: we often see entertainment gossip that a star has entered the wax museum, and the high-level wax figures are almost the same as the real people. They are so realistic that they are frightening to see. Do you know how the wax figures are made? Let's take a look at them together!
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.
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.
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 take out hundreds of different colors of eyeballs, compare the eyeballs near the eyeballs' colors and shapes to the stars' eyes, and finally pick out a model which is almost the same as that of the eyes, so as to avoid the chromatic aberration to the greatest extent.
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?
Everyone has seen mission impossible. Is the wax figure of the star like those in the movie that input data, and then use 3D printer to print it out? No.
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 complex. 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'. This process 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 the characters look fresh? Make-up is very important. It's much more complicated to make up wax figures than real people's make-up. The mold only makes 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 drop.
After the completion of each part, finally, install the head and hands on the body made of glass fiber, and then put on the clothes donated by celebrities for the wax figure. Basically, everyone will choose their most classic shape.
