American dramas are so exquisite in determining the style of props in even a fantasy drama, let alone other historical dramas, compared to domestic costume films, there are various productions of stacking of crossing items, but it is too rigorous. [Full text reading]

There were thirty or forty metal swords of different styles in front of him, and when Gu Xiaofan saw the "Winter is coming" on the hilt, he knew that the "Godfather" item in "Game of Thrones" set by HBO was the sword "Cold Ice" of the Stark family.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Xiaofan slowly walked over, picked up a gorgeous big sword with golden light and a row of sapphires inlaid on the hilt, and was secretly taken aback when he lifted the sword body.

It's so heavy...... It's not a plastic toy, it's a real thing.

Gu Xiaofan was carefully observing the sword body, and he couldn't help but sigh even more in his heart, amazing...... It's simply exquisitely done.

This kind of thing is no longer a prop, it is simply a work of art, Gu Xiaofan picked up another silver-white sword with runes carved on the body of the sword, and he also couldn't put it down.

And everyone at the scene looked at Gu Xiaofan with a surprised face, thinking that this Chinese kid was simply a countryman entering the city.

This guy must be stupid in his heart, he said before that he would choose the conceptual style of Westeros, he must have thought that he had 3 or 4 options, and it was possible to guess correctly by choosing any object, but he didn't expect that there were 3 or 40 options in front of him.

In fact, in the general 'ordained holy canon', the props department will only produce a maximum of 5 or 6 'godfathers' to choose from, and Gu Xiaofan does have a good chance of guessing correctly.

However, Old Jett had long expected that today, that is, to give the Chinese director he cooperated with a disadvantage, and asked the props department to make 37 different "cold ices" in advance, each of which has many similar alternatives, and people who do not have a deep understanding of the history of European sword-casting cannot distinguish at all.

In the play, the Stark family's big sword "Cold Ice", this sword is at least 400 years old in the story, with the blessing spell of the seven gods on it, as well as special patterns.

You can't design it like a lightsaber from Star Wars, it has to be like a knight's sword in the Middle Ages in Europe.

But the average screenwriter and director, who can understand what the knight sword looks like in the Middle World?

Therefore, there is a special weapon and prop design department in the HBO crew, and they study the weapons of various countries, including modern and ancient, which must be designed by experts like them to be convincing.

These bigswords, which are very beautiful in appearance, actually have many details designed with traps, many materials are used in modern ways, and some are too old to exist in the play.

And the producer of "Game of Thrones" must have the ability to screen.

Does Gu Xiaofan have this ability? Of course it can't be~ Everyone at HBO is waiting for him to make a fool of himself, waiting for him to hand over the dominance of the series.

37 points 1 ...... He had only 37 parts of a chance to pick the right one, and if he made a mistake in front of so many people, everyone would point it out, leaving him embarrassed.

Not to mention serving as a producer, if you don't do it, your prestige will be discredited...... As a director, no one will believe him.

Even Liu Shishi was extremely worried at the moment, if she was Gu Xiaofan, she could only turn back to Taylor for help at this time, at least she could save a little face.

And at this time, seeing Gu Xiaofan suddenly holding a heavy golden sword, everyone was staring at him, and they couldn't help showing a sneering look in their eyes, of course this one was not......

But he saw Gu Xiaofan say loudly: "The blade itself is Valyrian steel, ancient, light and sharp. As he spoke, he threw down the heavy golden sword.

Everyone showed disappointed expressions, and Old Martin and Taylor were stunned.

This line that Gu Xiaofan said is a line in the second volume of "The Clash of Kings" in the original book, which is a very small detail, and he actually remembered it in his mind?

Then Gu Xiaofan picked up a transparent and translucent ancient steel sword, and stroked it carefully, and everyone was overjoyed, of course this one was not.

The name of the sword is "Cold Ice", and his body is wider than his palm, and he stands taller than Robb. Forged from Valyrian steel, the blade has been blessed with spells and is as dark as black smoke. There is nothing sharper than Valyrian steel. ”

Gu Xiaofan said aloud as he slowly put down the brilliant steel sword, and now not only Martin and Taylor, but also the other HBO personnel at the scene were also slightly surprised.

What Gu Xiaofan said is obviously the original text in "Game of Thrones", has this guy really done research? Or is he talking nonsense? Many people at the scene had already taken out their mobile phones and started to check Gu Xiaofan's words on the Internet.

With a "cang", Gu Xiaofan pulled out a pitch-black broadsword in front of everyone, and at this moment, Kyle, who was finally in charge of making props, changed his face, he was able to choose this ......?

Gu Xiaofan held up the black sword and stroked it: "The sword body is half a foot longer than Jon's habitual sword, and the front end is extremely sharp, which can both stab and slash, and there are three deep blood grooves on it. ”

Many ancient European swords have grooves on their bodies, and insiders generally call them blood grooves, but they have nothing to do with bloodletting.

The real function is to reduce the material of the sword body without significantly reducing the strength of the sword: these grooves greatly reduce the weight but have little effect on the "cross-sectional moment of inertia".

To Kyle's surprise, although it was written in the original text that there were "three deep blood grooves", ordinary people would not know the specific shape and pattern of the "blood grooves" at all, and many people would be accustomed to thinking that they were three "red marks", so among the 37 swords, he specially made 2 with three "red marks" to mislead Gu Xiaofan.

And even if Gu Xiaofan had heard that the "blood groove" was a groove, it was difficult to tell the number of such "blood grooves", and the swords with the same similar shape, with two or four blood grooves, were also among them.

And Gu Xiaofan correctly identified the blood groove and found the only one with the "three blood grooves", which proves that he is not only extremely familiar with the original book, but also a great expert in European swords......

Kyle, Taylor, and Martin all exchanged stunned glances, and then they all swept over the rest of the props team with stern glances.

The first reaction of the three of them was that Gu Xiaofan would never be so familiar with the "Cold Ice" sword, someone must have revealed his tone, and someone in HBO must have been bought by him......

Otherwise, no matter what, Gu Xiaofan, a Chinese, would not be able to distinguish which one the "cold ice" is.

"I think that's it." Gu Xiaofan's expression was indifferent, and he handed the sword in his hand to Kyle
