Chapter 382: Seeing death as home, just today!
The camera is closer, and in the martial arts field, two soldiers are fighting in close combat.
Although they are not the outfits in the classic game original painting, they are relatively simple to wear and mainly use monochrome practice uniforms, the audience can easily identify the identities of these two characters through their iconic weapons.
The two protagonists, Prince Garvan IV of Demacia, and his friend, Garen, the Mian Guard of the Mian Guard family. The former holds a long-handled weapon, which looks like a spear and a war halberd; the latter is a wide-blade giant sword, which is wielding to its might.
The actors also look familiar, with the prince being Peng Yuyan; Garen being starred by Chris Evans.
Needless to say, the former is the top movie star of the younger generation of Chinese film industry; even the latter is quite well-known in mainland China because of the role of "Captain America".
In fact, these two actors themselves are also important roles in the promotion of the movie. Although for many game fans, they don’t mind who the actors are - no matter who they are, they will come to the theater to watch. However, first of all, these two actors themselves have good qualities and appropriate images, and they also have certain appeal. Some viewers who do not pay much attention to the game themselves are also likely to be attracted to the theater by the actors themselves.
It is said that many female audiences, such as the wife of Guo Lei and his three-person dormitory, although they have no feelings for League of Legends, they are quite interested in actors. One likes Peng Yuyan very much, and one is a Marvel fan, and of course they also like Captain America very much.
On the picture, Galen and Gavin IV each hold two weapons, which are facing each other, and they fight again and again. The whole fight has a strong sense of picture, and the action design style is also very open and close. The hedging between the two weapons is extremely powerful.
After a while, the prince's weapon was knocked away, and Garen's giant sword crossed the throat of Garven IV.
The prince pushed away the giant sword and said angrily: "Come again!"
Obviously he was fired and got on the verge of the head.
Galen on the opposite side looked a little confused: "It's almost time."
"Come again!" The prince picked up his weapon and attacked him, and Garen had no choice but to deal with it.
After practicing weapons for a while, the prince was once again at a disadvantage and was beaten to the point of being able to resist. The swelling face of Jiawen IV suddenly pushed the practice giant sword with his shoulders, and the battle halberd swept across the force, but was still avoided by Garen.
With a fight back, Garen's giant sword slashed down on his head. Jiawen IV once again came forward, as if he was using a fighting method of fighting with his life, just to win.
Galen realized that something was wrong. He thought that Jiawen IV would block it, but the other party did not block it. Instead, the war halberd stabbed it. It was simple for him not to be injured. The heavy sword used for training would not kill people, but it was enough to make the attack behind Jiawen IV unable to continue in severe pain. But it was obvious that the prince's prince would inevitably suffer from unclear injuries. If he stopped directly, the prince's war halberd would also cause him to be seriously injured.
In a dilemma, a spear with blue spear tassels pierced straight, and the two of them were fired at the same time.
"Debang Manager Zhao Xin" played by Xie Tingfeng appears!
After the duel was terminated, he looked at the two of them, and then said, "The drill needs to be done."
Galen bowed to show his respect, while the prince gasped, looking competitive.
The content of this scene is roughly reflected in a fight. Zhao Xin is the oldest, his stubble is a bit white, and he is old and persistent; both the prince and Galen are young and vigorous, and the prince is even more arrogant, and Galen is a little more steady as a minister.
After the initial scene, the plot roughly explained the identities of the three.
Zhao Xin was a veteran of two dynasties, former royal guards, and now the personal guard general. Galen was born into the noble Mianwei family and was the new generation of heirs of the family. The so-called "Mianwei family", as the name suggests, is a clan that the entire clan has sworn to serve the king of Demacia since its establishment. They are only loyal to the king. This family has inherited the responsibility of defending King Demacia for generations; Garven IV is the son of the current king. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the next king of Demacia.
In these plots of identity explanations, another story line is interspersed with - Garen's sister Lux, who was attacked by a swarm of insects on the way to the capital of Demacia, on the way from Miyin City, the traditional resident of the Mianwei family.
According to intelligence, the swarm is controlled by a dark wizard.
The two young generals, directly assigned by the king, joined the legion commanded by Zhao Xin, and took on the first task: to clear out the insect swarm.
The team set out, and the next step was the first climax of the movie, Demacia's army, fighting the insect swarm.
Those mutated Zergs are not small in size. Ordinary cannon fodder-level insects are about the size of a hunting dog; some special ones are larger, and some are calves. Some rare giant war insects are like tanks.
The artists of Dimension Entertainment have put a lot of effort into the design of these bugs. The different types of bugs have been drawn by more than a dozen. If some abandoned designs are counted, more than fifty types will be drawn by just drawing.
When making corresponding models, all bugs have certain variations, ranging from changes in body shape and color, such as the style of the pliers to make some changes, and more wounds...
People from the art department dared to pat their chests and said that in the film, none of the bugs appearing in close-up scenes look exactly the same, and the difference can be seen by the naked eye.
It can be said that this is something in detail. For many films, it is like being a monster army, with similar images, which seems not a problem - there are so many, and they are monsters anyway, where can we tell the difference?
But the answer is to be distinguished. If these details are not done well, it will drag down the quality of the movie.
Dimension Entertainment's efforts will definitely pay off.
In the theater, everyone who saw this scene was so happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Watching Galen holding a giant sword, slashing monsters one by one in a variety of ways; the prince's halberd was also wielding extremely fiercely. On the scene, the broken limbs and green slurry of the giant insects were splashed everywhere... This visual impact force is exactly the effect of superimposing all the details.
The cruel battle was not a little calmed down until the vanguard led by Galen and the Prince rescued the besieged Lux.
However, not only the special effects, the battle is exciting, but the plot of the movie is also not weak.
When they had just arrived and the camp where Lux and others were besieged was still a point far from the perspective, they saw a beam of light flying from afar, and then a piece of bug was burned to death.
Most people didn't notice it, but Galen frowned.
When it comes to Lux's perspective, the audience almost didn't recognize this actor - Anthea Collier, an actor selected from North America in the United States, is a blond girl with a petite figure, delicate and beautiful face.
Perhaps, in the aesthetics of Europe and the United States, this kind of girl with delicate facial features is not as popular as that of traditional American girls, but it is obvious that girls with delicate and beautiful faces are even more popular by Chinese audiences.
On the movie screen, Lux's hands kept releasing light outwards. Some of these lights directly killed the giant insects that surrounded them, some would imprison them, and some would form white light shields on the warriors fighting in front.
She looked up and saw the reinforcements approaching in the distance, and shouted: "Everyone hold on! Our reinforcements have arrived! We are saved!"
The soldiers cheered one after another.
A moment later, reinforcements led by Galen and Garven IV approached, and the siege of the giant insects was killed and retreated.
When the two sides met, a captain of the guard came to Lux and said, "Miss Mian Guard, don't worry, I have told other survivors about your affairs, and they promise not to disclose them."
"Thank you."
"No need to thank you. We can survive all your magic. We will never tell others about this. We swear to God."
As the camera turned, Garen and the prince came over with traces of fighting.
Garwen IV had a smile on his face, but Garen looked cold.
"Miss Mian Guard, I'm glad we were able to arrive in time. You were not injured, are you?"
Lux bowed slightly: "Thank you for your rescue. I'm fine, but many soldiers fell before you arrived..."
"They are all heroes." The prince said solemnly, "No more greetings, it's not safe here. I'll go to organize the troops and we'll go back to the rear immediately."
"OK……"
Garven IV walked away, and Lux looked at Garen with his eyes: "Brother..."
"Laxana, did you do that light just now?"
"no."
"It's better not." Garen said, "in our country, magic is absolutely forbidden, and I don't want to judge my sister in person."
Lux looked stubborn and aggrieved when he bit his lip.
Guo Lei leaned over and said to his wife: "Who is this girl? Her acting skills are very good."
"Well, it's still very beautiful." His wife said appreciatively.
The story on the screen continues.
Garen, played by Chris Evans, felt unbearable to see his sister like this. He said, "Get on the horse quickly. After sending you back to the rear to ensure safety, we will continue to hunt down the damn magician who creates and controls giant insects."
"I can help."
"Don't mess around!" Garen scolded, "What can you do? Use your damn magic?"
Lux couldn't speak anymore.
...
Through this plot, the film explains the background of the country ‘Demacia’.
Commercial movies must take care of all audiences. People who don’t know the world’s background may not be clear. Demacia is a country that advocates order, and is also very hostile and hates magic. They even wrote the ban on magic into the law.
Of course, even some gamers may not be clear about this. After all, a competitive game does not affect the gameplay without understanding the background.
In addition, this paragraph also reflects the plot contradictions of the characters.
Lux is a member of the noble Mian Guard family, but unexpectedly possesses magical powers; Galen is her brother, but she is the defender of firm order and law, and she deeply hates magic; Jiawen IV is young and energetic, eager to prove herself...
The plot is smooth and not slow, and it is time to advance. The refreshing fights and excellent special effects scenes are also seen. The elements that a commercial movie should have, "Demacia: Glory".
Not to mention, among these factors, the characterization is unexpectedly good, three-dimensional and plump, which is a bit amazing. If you discuss a little more profound problem, "Glory" may get the same evaluation as Nolan's "Dark Knight Trilogy".
Of course, it's too early to say anything now, and the movie hasn't passed one-third.
The subsequent story is still continuing to fight with the giant insects.
After rescuing Lux, Demacia's army no longer had any worries and began to attack the mutant insect nest.
Zhao Xin was in charge of the central army, with Garen and the prince as vanguards. In order to cultivate the next generation of these two Demacia, Zhao Xin said that the vanguard army was left to them to command, and they were responsible for the combat opportunities and he was behind to suppress the formation.
So, Garen and Garen discussed tactics, saying that Garen led the troops to assault as a feint and attracted the enemy. After Garen led a team of elite fearless vanguards to break into the nest, searched for the evil mage, and completed the beheading operation.
However, things didn't go as planned.
The army of Jiawen IV did attract the attention of the insect swarm, but the intensity of this attraction was a bit too much.
The swarm of insects swarmed out and attacked frantically towards the army positions led by the prince. Even the evil mage appeared in person, transforming himself into a half-human and half-worm. Its upper body was like a human being infused with water and swollen, three or four times larger. The waist was twisted down into a giant beetle.
This evil mage lost control and played magic to make himself look half-human and half-worm.
The enemy came too many and too fiercely, and the out-of-control mutated insect kings also exceeded the initial estimate.
The formation of the Demacians was defeated. Although the fully armed warriors were fighting hard, they were outnumbered. There were too many giant war insects and the mutated worm kings who killed them with mutated mages, which made them lose.
In the crisis, the adjutant of Garwen IV pulled His Highness the fighting prince: "The overall situation is settled, retreat, your safety is more important than anything else."
The prince shook his hand away and said, "Our mission is to die by fighting hard!"
This sentence is also an easter egg. Players who play Prince in the game should hear it. This is the prince's line in the game.
After saying this, the prince took the Debang battle flag, threw it forward, then pointed the halberd forward, and charged quickly!
Chapter completed!
