The release of "Warcraft 2" caused quite a stir.

Warcraft is the hottest game of the moment, with millions of players around the world, and it's the hottest game out there – there isn't one.

The Warcraft movie in the previous life came out too late, and when the movie was released, the popularity of Warcraft had already begun to decline, not to mention, the movie itself was also very problematic. Blizzard's ambitions at that time were too great, and they wanted to make Warcraft into a super-long series of movies, and they wanted to imitate the Klingon language and make the magic in the Warcraft series into a complete system, but in the end it was nondescript, not only did the movie not be filmed well, but the so-called magic system was not made, and the plot that should have been at least two parts was condensed into one. Even ate books in terms of plot, so many unfavorable factors, the right time, place and people don't occupy it, if you want to succeed, you really can only talk about it.

But now it's different, Zhou Fangyuan didn't think about getting any magic system in the first place, or rather, this thing can be combined in the follow-up movie, so there is no need to rush it.

The plot choices are also closer to the player's preferences.

Arthas, the most successful tragic character in the Warcraft series, is already a favorite character among players.

Starting with the Alsace trilogy, the promotion of the Warcraft movie is definitely more successful than the Dark Gate in the previous life.

Now the second part is released, and the plot continues the first one.

In the first part, it mainly tells about the childhood of Alsace and the plague events that began in Stratholme and other places. The climax is the brutal massacre of Alsace, which slaughters all the inhabitants of Stratholme in order to prevent the plague from spreading. It is important to know that Stratholm is the second largest city in the kingdom of Lordaeron, and it is also the production center of Lordaeron, with a large population and a huge city.

Alsace's massacre of the city, although it can't be said to have caused Lordaeron to lose his vitality, is definitely at the level of breaking the muscles and bones. What's more, many of the people he slaughtered did not eat the food infected by the plague, and there was still a possibility of saving, even the people who ate the food, as long as the infection was not deep, could be cured by the Holy Light. As a result, Arthas was furious and chose the path he should not have chosen, which directly led to the disappointed departure of his lover Gianna and his mentor Uther.

But Arthas did not regret it, and after destroying Stratholme, he chose to go to the northern continent of Northrend by sea, preparing to destroy the source of the plague with his own hands.

The plot of the second part unfolds from here.

Upon arriving in Northrend, Arthas encounters his teacher and best friend, Muradine Copperbeard, who is besieged by an army of the undead. After helping the dwarves temporarily relieve the siege, Arthas learns that Muradin and his dwarven expedition are searching for an ancient rune-sword with infinite power, Frostmourn.

At the same time, at Uther's advice, King Terenus sent an envoy to Northrend to give Arthas an order to return to Lordaeron immediately. Arthas, of course, could not accept this, and the prince, who had been carried away by the anger of revenge, came up with a sinister plan that violated the morality of the paladins.

He first hired the local indigenous mercenaries in Northrend, and secretly destroyed all the warships and ships of the expeditionary force, blocking the only way for the troops to return to their homeland. After destroying all the ships, Arthas betrayed the mercenaries who worked for him, telling the angry soldiers that the aliens had destroyed all the ships and ordering the army to put them to death. Then inform the whole army that only by doing their best to destroy the Undead Scourge and Melganis in one fell swoop can they have any chance of survival.

Sensing that Arthas's heart had been twisted by hatred, Muradin, who was upright in nature, loudly questioned the prince's injustice, but Arthas was unmoved.

At this time, Northrend's army of the undead, led by Melganis, surrounded the expeditionary force. Realizing that he was outnumbered, Arthas thought of Frost Grief. He realizes that if he can obtain this sword, he will be able to defuse this danger, and he will avenge the unjust souls of the fallen soul of the kingdom of Lordaeron. So, at Arthas's suggestion, Muradin and the prince embarked on a journey to find the "Frost Sorrow".

Eventually, deep in the glaciers of Northrend, Arthas and Muradin finally found the site of Frost Sorrow. In front of the cave where the Ancient Sword is sealed, a mysterious and ancient ghost guardian suddenly appears to prevent uninvited guests from entering the cave. However, no one could stop Arthas from gaining Frost Sorrow's determination, and the Ghost Guardian was eventually destroyed by the Prince's fierce attack.

Muradin, who discovers that Frostmourn has a powerful evil curse attached to it, warns the prince not to draw his sword.

Arthas, on the other hand, ignored it and vowed to bear any curse to save his country and his people.

After hearing the prince's vow, Frostmourn broke free from the ice that sealed him. Fragments of solid ice splattered, one of which knocked out Muradin. Disregarding the life and death of his old friend, Arthas impatiently grasped the sword in his hand and became the new master of Frost Sorrow.

But he never imagined that the Lich King was the true owner of the sword. Frost Sorrow can suck the souls of the living for their own use.

And this terrifying power is due to the Dreaded Demon King. At the moment when the sorrow of the frost was raised, a powerful force surged over him, and this power froze his blood and devoured his soul.

After regrouping with the main forces, Arthas showed great strength. As the soldiers looked at the undead ants who had died under the sword of Frost Sorrow, their morale rose and their faith in the prince grew stronger, even if they did so for him - for Arthas would protect everyone and all of Lordaeron. Under the overwhelming onslaught of the Alliance forces, the minions of the Scourge were wiped out, and Arthas fulfilled his long-cherished wish by killing his enemy, Melganis, with his own hands.

However, Alsace did not reap the slightest joy of victory. When it was all over, the expressionless prince left his bewildered comrades far behind, and his lonely figure disappeared into the snowstorm of Northrend......

Deep in the frozen wasteland of Northrend, Neozu has torn apart the last vestiges of Alsace's humanity. Dark knowledge flowed into his consciousness, and he learned to use dark psychic magic, as long as his new master did. The former Prince of Lordaeron was a thing of the past from the moment he plucked the Frost Sorrow, replaced by Arthas, the Death Knight of the Lich King's faithful servant.

Looking back at the history of Arthas's depravity, when he was the prince of Lordaeron, he did not blindly pursue power, but only pursued his homeland from the persecution of foreign forces, in order to maintain the peace of Lordaeron.

Before Arthas encountered the Scourge of the Dead, he was indeed a dutiful and noble paladin. But when the plague broke out, and Arthas saw that the people had eaten contaminated food and turned into undead soldiers, and in turn slaughtered other innocent people, the young prince was furious, and he could not tolerate anyone persecuting his people and destroying their homes with such cruelty.

When duty and honor are twisted into hatred, Arthas has fallen into the abyss of darkness. It can be said that youth, impulsiveness, and lack of experience are the fatal flaws of Alsace.

At that time, Arthas did not know, nor did he think about what opponent he was facing, he firmly believed that as the future leader of the kingdom, the paladin of the Silver Hand, he was fully capable of handling this matter, and he did have great courage and confidence, but unfortunately all this was just a trap for the Lich King.

Arthas was still too young after all, and it was this Achilles' heel that the old and spicy Naozu, Kel'thugad, and Melganis used to lead Arthas to the road of no return.

Upon returning to the camp, Arthas easily slaughtered all the unsuspecting soldiers and transformed their corpses into Scourge soldiers. An army of the undead who are completely obedient to him is born—they will be used by Arthas as a force to destroy Lordaeron and fulfill the Lich King's ambitions, and serve the Frost Sorrow master.

Three months later, surrounded by the bells of the celebration of victory, the cheers of the people and the fluttering petals of flowers, Arthas returned to Lordaeron as a hero.

Arriving at the throne room, where King Terenus was waiting for his son, he quickly noticed that Arthas's golden hair had turned pale, and that the paladin's warhammer, which had been with him, had turned into an ominous greatsword.

Arthas pretended to bend his knees before King Terenus, and at this moment in the prince's consciousness, all voices were muffled by the sad words of Frost, and Arthas was driven by it to take his sword and go straight towards his dazed father.

While everyone around him was stunned, Arthas had already come to the king and plunged Frost Grief into his father's chest, and the old king's body collapsed on the throne, and the bloody crown rolled to the floor.

After killing his father, Arthas turned and left the palace, and anyone who tried to stop the prince fell to the sword of Frostmourn. In this way, the prince disappeared into the chaos of the capital, and only Arthas's words echoed in the throne room: "This kingdom will be destroyed, and a new ruling order will be born from the ruins, and it will shake the very foundations on which this world rests." ”

After returning to the town of Andorhar, which he had once saved, Arthas killed three of his former comrades of the Order of the Silver Hand, and at Kel'thugad's grave, Titodios told Arthas that he must obtain a very special urn from the paladin, and put Kel'thugad's remains in it for protection.

In the end, even Arthas's teacher, Uther, the Lightbringer, was killed by Arthas while escorting King Terenus's ashes, and with Uther's death, the Order of the Silver Hand collapsed.

His father's urn was seized by Arthas and used to resurrect Kel'thugad.

Since resurrecting a mage as powerful as Kel'thugad requires a powerful power field, the Lich King chose the location in the Well of the Sun in the High Elf kingdom of Quel'Thalas.

Before that, he also ordered his army of the undead to brutally destroy Lordaeron and turn all the people inside into new undead warriors.

Arthas then led the army of the undead on his way to Quel'Salas on his back, leaving all the people of Lordaeron to be the ghosts of his sword. Eventually, when a golden-red forest appeared in front of them, the army of the undead in Arthas stopped.

Ahead, the sun-drenched jungle is magnificent. Behind him, there is a black mist of undead natural disasters.

Arthas sat on his beloved mount invincible north, looked at Quel'Thalas in the distance, and raised the frost sorrow in his hand in exchange.

In the next second, countless undead screamed and rushed out. Arthas was in no hurry, he sat on his horse, looking ahead with a blank expression.

The picture is finally frozen on this scene.

Throughout the film, the color tone is basically dark and gloomy, and even the sunlight is obscured by dark clouds, which fully shows the darkness in Alsace's heart at this time.

Xiao Lizi plays Alsace and shows extraordinary acting skills.

In the first part, he went from a beloved prince to a prince burned by anger. If this can't make his acting skills recognized by more people, then in the second part, he changed from an angry prince to a slave of hatred, and finally was swallowed by hatred, and became a death knight who killed his father and slaughtered people.

That kind of natural excess, that kind of unforgettable hatred, are vividly displayed.

In fact, Xiao Lizi's acting skills have always been good, but the problem is that he is too young and handsome, and his youth and handsomeness cover up his acting skills.

It's like Xiao Xianrou, because he is too young and handsome, many people actually don't look down on him. It's just that unlike Xiao Xianrou, his acting skills are really good, as mentioned earlier, the rules of the Oscar campaign, to put it bluntly, Xiao Lizi has been struggling to win the Oscar, on the one hand, because the people behind the movies he participated in are not very good at public relations, and on the other hand, because he is too young, so that many old stubborn people look down on him. But even so, he has been nominated repeatedly, which is enough to show his quality.

Now, in "Warcraft 2", although Arthas is still a handsome face, since he slaughtered the city and went north, his "handsomeness" has been covered by anger, and after he became a death knight in the later period, he was even more blue, although he is still very handsome, but he is no longer noisy, so his acting skills have finally come to the foreground from behind the scenes and entered the field of vision of more people.

Because of this, Zhou Fangyuan began to plan for Oscar, but this was far from insurance, so he wanted to find Harvey to help him.
