943. Alsace 2
The Alsace trilogy is the opening work selected by Zhou Fangyuan for Warcraft.
Because among the majority of Warcraft players, if you want to say which hero is the most famous, players can say a lot, but this series of movies is not just for fans, Zhou Fangyuan and Blizzard have ambitions to promote the movie to more ordinary people, so they finally chose the relatively most famous Death Knight Arthas among all audiences.
Of course, for gamers, many of the characters are treasured. But for the general audience, as well as those who have never played the game, they may have only heard the names of one or two characters, and there is no doubt that Arthas is the most famous of them all. This is mainly due to the fact that his story runs through the most famous Warcraft 3, Reign of Chaos, The Frozen Throne, World of Warcraft WLK, and all previous versions.
And Arthas's character creation is relatively one of the best in the entire Warcraft plot.
He and the great mage Gianna are childhood sweethearts, he is the master and apprentice of Muradin, the king of the hills, he is the leader and subordinate of the paladin Uther, he is the rival of the blood mage Kael'thas, he is the rival of the demon hunter Illidan Fury, he is the master and servant of the orc warlock Neozu, he is the master and servant of the third in command of the Burning Legion, he is the master and servant of the Crypt Lord Anubrak, he is a friend of the lich Kel'thugad, he is an enemy of the dark ranger Sylvanas, he is a blood feud with the Dreadlord Malganis, and he is a source of resentment with many players。
Alsace's life is legendary, his depravity is very in line with human nature in reality, his extremism, his stubbornness, his responsibility, his pride, his strength, these partial antinomy words are not contradictory to Arthas, so the character itself exudes infinite charm, even not just gamers, ordinary people who don't play games, as long as there is a player around, they will inevitably be given to Amway by the other party.
In the previous life, Blizzard chose the plot of a big movie, which was also a helpless move, at that time Warcraft had begun to decline, there were fewer and fewer players of the new generation, and there were fewer and fewer people in the young group who knew Warcraft and were willing to understand the plot of Warcraft, so the big movie at that time took on too much responsibility and pressure that it should not have beared. Not to mention anything else, it is very difficult to please both fans and ordinary passers-by. Once the balance is not well mastered, it is the result of being scolded at both ends.
So the big movie in the previous life was a failure in the end.
This time, Zhou Fangyuan decided not to do that kind of thing, needless to say, the big movie is mainly fans, supplemented by passers-by, of course, it doesn't mean that passers-by are not important, in fact, if Warcraft wants to go further, it will eventually focus on passers-by. How to convert passers-by into fans is the most important thing. But there needs to be a process in it.,You can't just want to transform passers-by as soon as you come and don't come.,The reason why passers-by are passers-by,It's possible that he really doesn't have any players around him who have contact with Warcraft.,It's also possible that people aren't interested in you in these things.。
When people are not interested, you still forcibly show them to others, so why don't you be scolded?
And it's more likely that people don't even watch it at all, if the plot really focuses on passers-by, fans should be scolded again.
Therefore, if the electronic music series wants to be maintained, especially in this life, fans are undoubtedly the most important, and only by satisfying fans can the box office be guaranteed, and the evaluation on major websites or other places will not dive. The movie has the possibility of shooting a series, as long as the series is big enough, it will naturally be able to attract passers-by. In fact, the fan is a creature that is very cute, if he is really obsessed with you, he will take the initiative to collect everything or information related to you, including the game.
The Alsace trilogy is to attract those passers-by while satisfying the player fan base, relying on the epic plot and graphics, as well as the tap water of the player fan base. As long as passers-by are transformed into passers-by fans, they will take the initiative to understand the history of Warcraft, understand the plot inside, and understand the characters inside. In the previous life, I forcibly fed it because the Warcraft was no longer good at that time. Now that Warcraft is in full swing, there is no need to force cramming, as long as it is attractive, fans can make up for other shortcomings by themselves, which is really simple.
The plot of the second part mainly talks about what happened after Alsace slaughtered his father and killed him.
After killing his father, Arthas left the palace, and anyone who tried to stop the prince fell to the sword of Frostmourn.
Everyone was shocked and outraged by Alsace's patricide. The royal capital of Lordaeron, once the shining jewel of the human world, has been reduced to a silent wasteland, where nothing but death and despair remain. The Dreadlord Titodios, who was tasked with spying on the Lich King, approached Arthas and issued a new order to Arthas through the Lich King's dictation to resurrect Kel'thugad.
Returning to the town of Andorhar, where he had been saved, Arthas killed three of his former comrades of the Knights 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 Kerthugad's remains there to protect them. Arthas's teacher, Uther, Lightbringer, was also killed by Arthas while escorting King Terenus's ashes. 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.
Arthas spurred his growing army of the undead into the dense forests of Quel'Thalas, slaughtering elves as far as the gates of Silvermoon. Sylvanas Windranger, the leader of the Rangers of Silvermoon City, fought valiantly, but was still outnumbered by Arthas. Arthas crushed the High Elves' forces and entered the Well of the Sun. As a show of his power, he turned Sylvanas's body into a banshee, making her eternal allegiance to Arthas, the conqueror of Quel'Thalas. Arthas then submerged Kel'thugad's bones in the holy waters of the Well of the Sun. Despite the contamination of the eternal holy water, Kel'thugad was resurrected as a powerful lich.
After Kel'thugad was resurrected, Arthas led an army of the undead into the Magic City of Dalaran, killing the leader of Kenrito, the Archmage Antonidas, and seizing the Book of Medivan. Kel'thugad then opens a portal to welcome the powerful demon lord of the Burning Legion, Akmund, to Azeroth. After stepping into this world again, Akmund decided that the Lich King was no longer useful, which also confirmed Neozu's original hunch.
While Akmund plotted the Burning Legion's invasion of Nodashir, the World Tree of Mount Hyjal, Arthas was ordered by the Lich King to rush to the continent of Kalimdor to thwart the Legion's plans. He tried to woo the demon hunter Illidan Furywind, as they seemed to have a common interest, and Arthas managed to instigate Illidan to steal Gul'dan's skull to make him a powerful demon, and with his power he took down Titodios, who had been watching over him.
With the combined efforts of humans, orcs, and night elves, the tide of Kalimdor's battle was miraculously reversed - Akmund was killed in the siege of many ancient spirits in the Hyjal Mountains. With the defeat of Akmund, the remnants of the Burning Legion were wiped out, and the Third War came to an end. The Lich King then led the Scourge out of the Burning Legion's rule, and Neozu's plan finally reached its most critical final stage.
After the Burning Legion was defeated at Mount Hyjal, Arthas gathered the remnants of the Scourge and returned to the Eastern Continent in an attempt to reclaim Lordaeron from the Dreadlords, the remnants of the Burning Legion. However, due to the Frozen Throne's attack by the Eye of Sargeras used by Illidan, the Lich King's power began to drain, and Arthas's evil power slowly weakened. Back in Lordaeron, Arthas was busy purging the remnants of the Burning Legion and expanding the Scourge forces, but Illidan Furywind, who had been banished by the Night Elves, was invited by Kil'Gardan, who lured him into joining the Burning Legion, promising him the power to destroy the Lich King.
However, Illidan did not dare to go to Northrend rashly, he decided to search the tomb of Sargeras, and use the power of the Eye of Sargeras to destroy the Lich King and the Northrend continent together, after Illidan successfully found the Eye of Sargeras, in the ruins of Dalaran began to cast a spell that tore apart the Northrend continent, so there was a strong earthquake in the Northrend continent, and the crystal used to contain the Lich King's soul also cracked, and the Lich King's power was quickly lost from the crack, but this move angered Illidan's brother Malfurion, who was the Grand Druid, Malfurion, who believed that even to destroy the Scourge could not be at the expense of the entire Northrend continent, he aborted Illidan's spells, destroyed the Eye of Sargeras, and exiled Illidan.
Illidan fled to the shattered world of Draenor in order to escape Kil'Gardan's punishment, but Kil'Gardan found him and ordered him to attack Northrend immediately to destroy the Lich King. At this moment, Sylvanas Windranger, the dark ranger once under Arthas's control, gained his own will, and then joined forces with several Dreadlords to stage a coup d'état, betraying Arthas. At this time, Arthas had not yet properly handled the affairs of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and due to the loss of the Lich King's power, Sylvanas led some of the Scourge soldiers to break away from the control of the Lich King and seize the eastern part of the kingdom of Lordaeron. However, Arthas has no intention of fighting, as the Lich King has discovered that Illidan is heading for Northrend, and if Illidan rushes to the Frozen Throne before Arthas, Neozu's entire plan will be in vain.
Arthas rushed to Norrend's aid, only to be intercepted by the elves of Quel'Thalas, led by Kael'thas Sunstrider, survivors of the undead apocalypse, who have now called themselves blood elves and joined Illidan's army, and are marching on the Frozen Throne. Cryptlord Anubrak arrives at Arthas's side and leads him through a series of ancient underground tunnels to return to the Lich King in the fastest shortcut. When Arthas emerged from the burrow, he was faced with the last obstacle to his journey - Illidan, who had turned into a demon. Here, the Demon Hunter and the Death Knight engage in a one-on-one battle, and after an earth-shattering duel between Frostmourn and Aeginos, Arthas emerges victorious, and the defeated Illidan and his cronies flee back to the Outlands.
When the Death Knight approached the runic armor in the ice, the Lich King's call for freedom took over his consciousness. Arthas shattered the Frozen Throne with the Frost Sorrow, donning the helmet of Neozu and becoming one with the Lich King. Since then, Arthas has become one of the most powerful monsters in the world of Azeroth.
......
The plot of the second part is very important, playing a role in connecting the previous and the next, and opening a work in the Warcraft Cinematic Universe.
The story is carried out in a single line at the beginning, double-line in the middle stage, and returns to a single line in the later stage.
If the first part focuses on the growth of Alsace and simply introduces other races and forces, then the content of this part is to discuss the "human nature" represented by Alsace and the emergence of other races and forces.
So why is Alsace so popular and popular?
Mainly because the character of Alsace is really very close to the human nature of the real world. Especially in the final ending animation of Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne, Arthas is alone, hunched over his waist, struggling to move along the mountain road of the Frozen Throne. In him, he could not find the slightest joy of victory, nor could he see the pride of the heroes, or even the arrogance of the immortal king, but only a man who was dying of fate and curse, was exhausted and dragged towards the end of his fate.
Of course, in the end, Arthas still became the Lich King, so the third part also came.
Conquer the Lich King and completely destroy the undead Scourge is just right to connect with the plot of 3.0. As for the content of 2.0, it is currently being shown in the form of a sequel, or in the form of a TV series, or in the form of a single-player movie, because the plot of the Burning Crusade involves Illidan and Kael'thas. The former represents the Night Elves, and the latter represents the High Elves, the Blood Elves. In short, the latter is easy to say, so there is no need to rush it for the time being.
The plot is arranged like this, and this is also the result of Zhou Fangyuan and Blizzard's internal plot design, and everyone discussed it together.
Come to the studio......
"Haha, Zhou, you're here!"
Cameron greeted him with open arms and a big laugh.
