The TV series is adapted from the domestic classic stand-alone game Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man 3 released in 2003. It is based on the legends of immortals, monsters and ghosts in ancient China, with the theme of martial arts and Xianxia.
When the TV series "The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man" came out, there was a great response, so the producers had a TV series to shoot the sword. The reason why the producer skipped Fairy Sword 2 is that Fairy Sword 2 is not strong in story and is not suitable for co-production into a TV series. In addition, Kenzo's story can create more space. There are six realms in fairy tales, and the elements are very China. In addition, there is a big theme in the game called reincarnation. Therefore, the idea that TV plays want to express is that no matter in which realm or time and space, the most important thing is to live in the present.
Shooting process
The TV series started in Hengdian Film and Television City, Zhejiang Province on August, 2008, and ended in Tangren Hall on February, 2008. Filmed in Hengdian Film and Television City, Dongyang City, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, Fangyan Scenic Area, Yongkang City, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, Shouxian Valley Scenic Area, Wuyi County, Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, and Xiangshan Film and Television City, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province.
Wushu design
In terms of martial arts, Chen Weitao felt it was a pity that the sword was immortal. When he first received the xianjian, he felt very sorry, because he had never played the game, and he didn't show this feeling in the game. In Xianjian III, Weitao Chen also played some games, adding the movements of game elements in Xianjian III, and shooting the fighting scene at the beginning of Xianjian III game for seven days.
clothes design
The models designed for several leading actors are all based on the game prototype, but according to the TV series and the current aesthetics, the stylist has carried out innovation and transformation.
Jing Tian's first appearance was Yong 'an as a boy, and he was also an expert in identifying antiques and counterfeiting. So the clothes designed by the stylist for Hugh are mainly cotton and linen, and there are also many colorful accessories interspersed among them. The mashup route seems a bit hip-hop. Hugh felt like an ancient "blue collar" after wearing it, and the loose tailoring made him move freely.
Wallace Huo's style is the representative of minimalism, because Xu Changqing is a disciple of Shushan, and all his clothes are mainly white and gray, clean and tidy, with little decoration. Wallace Huo even wears this style of clothes, which exudes an extraordinary and unique flavor.
Yang Mi's modeling is charming and lovely, with red as the main tone, and waist-length hair also conforms to the settings in the game. Yang Mi, who was originally a "Snow School", liked the clothes very much after seeing them, expressing his feeling of coming out of the game.
Liu Shishi's Lankui costume is a stylist's reference to the design of the "wide-sleeved fairy skirt" in the game. A dress is made of 25 yards of pure silk. Liu Shishi, with a quiet and refined temperament, was praised as a little princess by the surrounding staff after wearing this suit.
Zi Xuan's style has changed the most. The identity of Nu Wa's descendants and her ups and downs in the world spanned several eras. When Tang Yan tried on clothes, she didn't want to take off everything.
In addition to clothes and hairstyles, the gadgets of the protagonists also reflect the inspiration of designers everywhere. For example, Jing Tian's small leather bag and Xue Jian's shoulder bag are all made of traditional materials, but they are very fashionable in design. Even if they wear fashionable clothes on the street, they can attract many repeat customers. The stylist said we wanted to express the feeling of youth and fashion.
Scene design
In terms of scene setting, the production designer said that "Fairy Sword I" had received feedback from gamers that it didn't conform to the game, so when filming "Fairy Sword I", all the staff consulted a lot of game materials to try to keep the charm of the game scene, and then processed it on TV. The production designer explained that it is not enough to shoot the TV series completely according to the game scenes, but it will try to be consistent with the game in appearance, such as the Lock Demon Tower in Shushan, the Gu Teng Forest, the Sword Tomb and other important scenes. Because "Xian Jian San" has more scenes than ordinary TV series, it also brings a lot of pressure to the art department. According to incomplete statistics, the whole TV series has more than 100 big scenes and thousands of design drawings.
