What do you get if you have a dead wolf, an elephant and a horse? No, it’s not the start of a bad joke but just some of the artifacts on display at a special effects makeup studio located in the Dachang Movie Town in Dachang Hui Autonomous County of Langfang City, north China’s Hebei Province.
Xiao Jin Special Effects Makeup Studio, founded by stylist Xiao Jin in 2010, has participated in the production of the 2014 fantasy fi lm The Ghouls and made over 30 wolves, 40 sheep and 10 horses for the 2015 Sino-French co-production Wolf Totem.
Xiao decided to move his studio in Beijing to Dachang as his current infrastructure could no longer satisfy the expansion needs of his business.
After some initial hesitation, he visited Dachang following a friend’s recommendation.“I never imagined there was such a beautiful place so close to Beijing,” said Xiao, more than satisfi ed with the environment and facilities on offer. More importantly, the town’s strong industrial chain proved to be the decisive factor in his decision.
“For instance, the movie The Knight of Shadows: Between Yin and Yang, in which Jackie Chan plays the leading role, was shot in the town while we were responsible for its special effects. It’s very convenient,” said Xiao.
