Chapter 96 The Inexplicable Fire
The success of "Legend of Sword and Fairy is a milestone in the production of TV dramas"

At the beginning of 2004, a magical drama called "Legend of Sword and Fairy" landed on the TV channel of Shancheng TV.

Analyzing the play, it is not difficult for us to find that many elements in the play may become milestones or turning points in the production of future TV series.

Borrowing what Fang Nan, the action director of this play, said at the media launch conference of "Sword of Heaven", we will find the first elemental concept thrown out by the director of this play-the concept of ancient costume idols.

What exactly is a costume idol?

We have no way of knowing, but according to the editor's thinking, I think that ancient costume idols have two meanings, one is ancient costumes, and the other is the handsome men and women starring in the play.

Secondly, the concept of cinematic screen production.

The TV series shot on full-length film has a texture that is no less than that of a movie screen, which is another concept proposed by the director of this play.

Third, the cinematic theme song is inserted.

The director of this show used a super-high-level soundtrack to tell the latecomers how much the soundtrack can improve a TV series.

Finally, let's forget about "Legend of Sword and Fairy" for a while, and let's take a look at who is the director Fang Nan who made the above three concepts appear in the play.

Fang Nan is the action director of the hit fantasy drama "A Chinese Ghost Story" released in the middle of last year!

Fang Nan was the director of Backgammon Lingrui's mobile advertisement "That Corner Had a Cold" that spread all over college forums at the end of last year!

"Always Quiet" and "Happy Sigh" were also written by Fang Nan!

He is also the originator of the Internet hot word 'touch face to kill'!
The rumored boyfriend of the goddess Gao Yuanyuan!

After reading this short essay by a freelancer, a netizen wrote this line on the Tianya forum:

"I'm rough. There's something about this Fang Nan!"

Such a simple sentence, plus two screenshots of the opening subtitles of "Sword of Heaven", made the Tianya Entertainment section rise up into a skyscraper out of thin air.

There were various comments about Fang Nan on the floor.

Some scolded him because of Gao Yuanyuan.

Some are overwhelmed by his talent.

There are those who dislike his appearance.

I want to scold him for no reason.

Some scolded him because of "Fairy Sword", and some liked him.

There are even fans!

All these things point to a problem. Can you believe that Fang Nan became popular for no reason?

Night.

Tang Tang Film and Television Company, at the desk of the art staff.

Looking at the comments about himself on the computer screen and the essay, Fang Nan, who was smoking a cigarette, felt a little melancholy.

Which careless person doesn't pay attention to the actor, but pays attention to him as the action director?

This stripped him, almost ripping off his underwear.

If it weren't for the early age, he would have wondered if he was about to be flattered and killed. These comments and bragging are clearly the treatment of the heroine of a novel.

Especially that little essay, it almost blows him into the sky, almost punching Brother Kai, kicking Lao Mouzi, spitting on Xingzi and drowning Feng Dapao, this is because he wants him to die!

"It's a bit difficult to fix." Fang Nan's forehead frowned.

It is a good thing that "Legend of Sword" has become popular and has popular actors, and it is something that everyone who participated in this drama should be happy about.

But even he, the action director, became popular, and Fang Nan felt that he was not very beautiful. Living under the spotlight was not a good thing.

Especially since he is still a guy with many small flaws.

How to operate to avoid this wave of turmoil?

Posting insults, deliberately discrediting yourself?
Fang Nan thought for a while, it seemed that it was not very good, it was too easy to form a topic, don't let a wave of unrest come up again.

"Sword of Immortal Sword" can become as popular as it is now, and its ratings soared to 10% in the mountain city. It has something to do with these sand sculptures on the Internet. He will add fuel to the fire, so don't burn yourself to death.

Zuo couldn't think about it, and he couldn't think about it right. In desperation, Fang Nan could only sigh and get up and prepare to go back to the house.

Let it go, until "The Unknown" is released, maybe it can help a wave of box office.

Otherwise, we can only hang on and wait for time to slowly wear down this wave of public opinion.

Anyway, he has been a little tired recently, and a little anxious, and he can't make waves even if he wants to, so he is not afraid of being noticed for the time being.

Stretching to the door, Cai Yinong's loud voice sounded outside the room before he opened the door of the artist's office.

Fang Nan walked out, looking at Cai Yinong who was carrying a bag in the dusty world, howling towards his room like howling, "What's the matter?"

"Hey, why did you run into the art house?"

"I can't pay attention to the turbulent public opinion on the Internet? For this reason, I deliberately quit work early today." Fang Nan said.

"It's a good thing." Cai Yinong, who has a special liking for the navy, frowned, and said again: "You come to the meeting room to discuss something."

Following Cai Yinong to the conference room, Hu Ge, Liu Qianqian, Li Guoli, Huang Weiming, and Zhao Zhu were all there. Seeing Fang Nan, Hu Ge stood up with a "snap" and handed him a cigarette.

Fang Nan glanced at the little panda, and couldn't help feeling that the level had risen too fast.

A few days ago, the cigarettes Hu Ge gave him cost only a dozen yuan a pack.

"How do you feel?" Fang Nan asked him with a smile.

"I don't seem to feel anything."

"Cut." Fang Nan passed the dishonest Hu Ge and sat down at the conference table, "What's the matter?"

Cai Yinong looked at Fang Nan, and said without doubt: "Leave the crew to Weiming tomorrow, and you follow to Pujiang TV station to do a promotion."

Fang Nan, who just wanted to be quiet for a while, said speechlessly, "What kind of publicity do I do as an action director?"

Whether it is a movie or a TV series, publicity is essential, and it can be said to be very important.

But those who participated in the promotion have their own opinions.

For example, "Sword of Heaven", in addition to the main actors, the chief director Li Guoli must go, behind the first scene.

As for whether he will go as an action director or not, it really doesn't matter.

Fang Nan was still reluctant, Cai Yinong couldn't help furrowing his brows: "The co-author of "The Immortal Sword" has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"You only care about your "Nobody's Name"? There is no company to invest 260 million in you, where do you get the money to make a movie?"

"Although we signed a director contract, Guoli and I have always regarded you as a member of the company. You can't always think for yourself and not for the company, right?"

"I don't know how important "Sword of Heaven" is to the company?"

Cai Yinong was working again, and was being hammered by kindness again. Fang Nan's scalp was numb after the hammer, and he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, I'll go, can I go? What program specifically?"

"It's not a regular program, just sitting and chatting with the host, and the content of the chat is all about the drama "Sword"."

Fang Nan probably understood. He guessed that the Pujiang TV station found out that "Sword of Heaven" had become popular in the mountain city, so it couldn't hold back, and intended to make a big publicity effort so that 2004 would be a good start.

"What time is tomorrow?" Fang Nan asked Cai Yinong.

Assistant Cai Yinong looked at the notebook: "Arrive at 8.30, start recording at 9.30, the recording time is up to 2 hours."

"Okay, let's go."

After speaking against his will, Fang Nan said to Huang Weiming and Zhao Zhu: "Director Huang, Zhao Zhu, you two will be in charge of the crew tomorrow, and shoot according to the announcement."
