Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters start the war
"This is a world where swords and magic coexist. For tens of thousands of years, races such as humans, orcs, dwarfs, dwarves and elves lived peacefully on several continents of this world, until the ancient demons came from the sky..."
The vast theater was silent, only Gaelle Gadot's voice belonging to Jaina Proudmore echoed everywhere, and the audience focused on looking at the big screen full of dark tones until a huge eye suddenly opened!
The eyes were filled with evil and terrifying green light, which made people feel frightened.
"This...is this Sargeras?"
No need to think about it, the person who asked such a question either read the original novel or was a game fan, "or was Kiljadan or Archmond?"
"Shh..." The companion next to him held his index finger up to his mouth, "Quiet, Emil!"
Nodding, Emil temporarily put down his mind and devoted all his energy to the film again like the audience around him.
However, the film does not interpret the identity of the demon too much, but only gives a general background explanation.
"These demons are full of destruction. They selected orcs with irritable and bloodthirsty personality, seduced several of the leaders Orgrim, Neozu, etc., to lead the orcs to drink the blood of the demons, and let the fallen Azeroth protector, Medivh, the guardian of Tirefath, open the portal of the orc world Drano to Azeroth..."
Coordinating with the sound, countless orcs drank demon blood one after another and became more manic. When the portal opened, they, led by several orc leaders such as Orgrim and Neozu, shouted crazy slogans, lined up in an orderly manner and walked into the portal to another continent, bringing killing, destruction, chaos and blood to the human world.
Because the 3D effect will cause the picture to become dark, and most of the time of the film will be mainly dark tones. World of Warcraft: The Angry Prince only has an imax version, but not a 3D version.
But even so, when the huge portal flashed with evil light and the teams of beastmen walked into the portal and arranged neatly on the empty fields through the curse land, the panoramic shot made using imax technology still made the audience unable to stop being amazed.
"Natalie Portman's use of light and color has almost achieved the ultimate goal."
As a few of the former famous film critics who are still active in the media, Kenneth Toran and Todd McCarthy sat together. Although both of them have always been staunch Disney supporters, their feelings are from the heart. "When Maddison first appeared, the sky in Azeroth was bright and the whole world was full of warm colors, but when he activated his magic to open the portal, the green light instantly stained the bright sky. The entire tone began to change to darkness. As the orc army moved forward, the colors with dark green as the tone quickly eroded the entire picture..."
"This is the style that Natalie Portman is good at."
As the host of ABC TV, Todd McCarthy carefully studied Natalie's directorial skills. He lowered his voice and replied to his companions, "From the earliest short film "Coffee" to the later "127 Hours" and "Black Swan", she can see her unique techniques and talents in the use of light colors."
The professionals here pay more attention to the shooting techniques and production techniques of the film, while the hardcore game fan Emil on the other side is a little dissatisfied. It is not that he is dissatisfied with the effects displayed in the movie, but that he is dissatisfied with the settings of the film adapted by Ryan.
Because he is a hardcore tribal player!
Although the film has just begun and the introduction of the world background is only as simple and clear as possible, he still clearly saw that the tribe is almost the evil side in the film!
How can this make him a tribe player feel?
If it weren't for the magnificent start of the film and the special effects were so outstanding that it wouldn't feel that the world was synthesized using computers, I'm afraid he would want to leave.
Also dissatisfied are some other game fans around. From what they complain, it can be seen that they are all hardcore tribal players.
While the alliance players were secretly happy, they were also persuading the tribe players they met, "At least the five minutes of the video started were extremely outstanding, right?"
That's true!
Hearing his partner's words, Emil calmed down for the moment because he was attracted by the wonderful opening battle in the film!
"After the manic and bloodthirsty orcs rushed into Azeroth, they burned, killed and looted, destroyed one town after another, destroyed the Storm Kingdom in the south, marched north, occupied several human and dwarf kingdoms one after another, and used assassins to kill the King of Storm Kingdom Ryan Wrien. Under the leadership of the Regent Sir Anduin Lothar, the Storm Kingdom had to temporarily retreat into the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the entire Azeroth world was about to be destroyed..."
"At this critical moment, the joint meeting of various races of Azeroth was held in Lordaeron. Under the coordination of the mages of Dalaran, the humans, dwarves and high elves formed the alliance with the Kingdom of Lordaeron as the core, and elected Sir Anduin Lothar, the last bloodline of Arahish, as the supreme leader of the alliance army, and with the help of the favorable terrain of the Arahish Highlands, they fought to the death with the orc army."
A big battle appeared before the audience.
The coalition forces gathered the remnants of the Storm Kingdom, the Knights of the Silver Hands of the Lordaeron Kingdom, the Mages of the Dalaran, the High Elves Rangers of the Silver Moon City and the elite dwarf infantry. Although there is no detailed introduction, from their respective iconic outfits, game fans can still vaguely distinguish the many leaders and heroes leading the team - Anduin Lothar, Uther, Turayan, Muladin, Bronzebeard, Aurelia, Windwalker, Sylvanas, Windwalker, Anthonydas, etc....
In terms of individual combat power, the orcs are undoubtedly powerful, but when it comes to real marching operations, Orgrim, Neozu and others are not the experienced Anduin Lothar's opponents. After receiving the military strength and making some preparations, in this earth-shaking battle, the alliance finally defeated the orc army after a hard battle and drove them to the foot of the Black Rock Mountain.
"The orcs are inescapable. The ancient demons conveyed a conspiracy to Orgrim through the cunning Neozu. They lied that they wanted to negotiate with the Alliance army. When the merciful Anduin Lothar attended the negotiations, Orgrim launched a sneak attack and killed the great and upright human leader."
On the screen, Anduin Lothar's long sword was broken by Orgrim and died heroically. His adjutant Tulayan picked up the broken sword representing glory and responsibility, and led the Knights of the Silver Hands who arrived later to completely defeat the orc army, captured many green-skinned orcs, including Orgrim, and imprisoned them in many prisoners of war camps such as Lordaeron.
"There is no new beginning."
Hearing Todd McCarthy's slightly disappointed voice, Kenneth Toulan nodded slightly, "Like other epics, the beginning must be a big battle. Although Natalie Portman has done a great job in controlling the colors and scenes of light, there is really nothing innovative."
He paused for a moment and said, "But you can't deny that this is what Ryan's video always does and it is the safest way to attract audiences to watch. Commercially speaking, this beginning can fully achieve the effect of a or even a+."
With the help of the sea blue on the screen, Todd McCarthy's eyes swept through the theater quickly. What he carefully observed was naturally the reaction of ordinary audiences. They almost focused on the film, and rarely saw whispering, and were obviously extremely satisfied with the beginning of the film.
Yes, even tribal players like Emil can't say much about the excitement of the opening battle. The video is like a rope that tied up their thinking, allowing them to be pulled and willingly continued to watch.
Neozu had the honor of escaping from the human coalition forces, found a sea boat, and began his escape across the ocean. He was seriously injured and bumped all the way. When he accidentally hit the Northrend continent, he was approaching the brink of collapse.
However, this shaman who had practiced orc secret technique had a cunning and powerful soul, and the demon who incited orcs knew this, so he sent the fear demon king Melganis and brought the equipment carefully crafted by the demon clan to Ner's ancestors - the Helmet of the Dominion and the Sorrow of Frost!
After death, Ner's soul lived in the helmet of ruling. Together with Melganis, he used the evil secret techniques taught by the demons to build an army of dead and demons - the natural disaster spirits, and sealed himself in the throne of the Ice, peeking at the south with his cold soul, the kingdom of Lordaeron, the kingdom that caused him to suffer failure!
He became a powerful lich, always paying attention to the dynamics of human beings, to choose some of them as his spokesperson for the continent of Azeroth, thus achieving the goal of destroying the world.
The person Ner's final choice was Prince Alsace, whose soul was filled with a sense of honor and justice.
In the dark and cold tones, the ice crystal sealed the helmet of the dominance, and the gate of the Ice Crown Fortress suddenly closed, just waiting for someone to open it with his own hands.
Who is this person?
Non-game fans will definitely have this question. Yilun has never played a game or read the original work. Seeing this, he couldn't help but subconsciously scratch his head.
Although he didn't know the world built by Ryan, the battle at the beginning was not too many narrations, which was enough for him to understand what kind of world this was and what background the story happened.
The opening scene, which lasted nearly thirteen minutes, ended. The camera turned to the fleeting Kingdom of Lordaeron, which had been flashing before. The dark, cold and depressing tones disappeared. The bright sunlight shone on the kingdom's martial arts field. As the camera gradually pulled, a young man with blonde hair and a tough and sunny face appeared in the picture.
"Alsace!"
The sounds sounded next to the audience clearly expressed his identity, the prince of the Kingdom of Lordaeron! (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
