[Introduction to the world view of the movie "Moonrise Shark":

This movie is adapted from the fairy tale "The Little Mermaid Princess", which tells such a story -

There is a mermaid kingdom under the vast sea, and the youngest daughter of the mermaid king turns into a small fish to expose the sea in order to explore the legendary sea world, but is fished away by a fisherman with a fishing net, and calls for help in a hurry.

Hearing the cry for help, the passing prince rescued her, and the little princess secretly promised him.

But the prince was just passing by, and he was going to a neighboring country to get the human princess of a neighboring country, so he sent the little fish back to the sea and released it, and set out on a journey to the neighboring country again.

Back at the bottom of the sea, the little princess finds the notorious Wish Witch in the mermaid world in order to be able to transform into a human, hoping to exchange it for something that can turn into a human.

The Ugly Wish Witch was jealous of the mermaid princesses' extraordinary beauty and talent for tears, so she traded her life's tears and half her beauty for human legs that could walk upright and vocal cords that could speak human language.

However, after all, she was not born human, so the witch told her that it would take a long time for her to get used to walking on two legs, that her vocal cords were too fragile to sing as before, and that if she sang against her advice, she would become mute after singing a song.

The innocent little princess was anxious to see the prince she liked, and without much thought, she agreed to the witch's request, so she turned into an ordinary-looking human girl, and from the sea sat in the huge bubble prepared for her by the witch to rise to the surface of the sea, and came to the land that she had never set foot on.

The newborn's legs are very fragile, and the little princess feels like walking on the tip of a knife with every step, but she endures the pain in order to find her sweetheart, and chases her all the way to the palace of a neighboring country.

Then she saw a grand wedding, the wedding of his sweetheart and the most beautiful princess in the country.

The little princess was very sad, but she couldn't cry at all, she wanted to go up and talk to the prince, but was stopped by the guards, in order to get the prince's attention, the little princess stood outside the venue and sang a hymn to the mermaids.

The merfolk sang so beautifully that they were fascinated by everyone, and the prince took the princess by the hand and walked up to her, and asked her, "This girl, although your appearance is very ordinary, but your singing voice is very beautiful, will you come to my palace and be a singer of the palace?" ”

But the little princess couldn't speak anymore after singing a song, so she could only shake her head and refuse.

The prince left with the princess.

The little princess was very sad and wandered outside the palace every day, getting thinner and thinner.

Later, the little princess's sisters heard the news and went to the witch together, hoping to get a way to turn her sister back into a mermaid.

The witch took half of each of their beautiful long hair, gave them a bottle of potion and a dagger, and said that if they drank the bottle of eaux-de-vie, and pierced their ankles with the dagger and let out the blood in their legs, they would turn back into mermaids.

However, an accident happened, the prince was seriously injured in the war and was dying, and in order to save him, the little princess fed the water of life to his mouth, and the prince came back to life.

Not wanting the prince to see her, the little princess hid back to the sea, stabbed her ankle with a dagger, and wanted to return to the sea, but because there was no water of life, after piercing her legs, the little princess turned into foam and disappeared. 】

[The plot synopsis of the movie "Moonrise Shark":

In the vast expanse of the sea, there is a group of humanoids called "sharks", they both men and women have amazing beauty and moving songs, and it is said that their tears will condense into jewels more valuable than gold, and their eyes will be gouged out and become priceless shark beads, their hair, skin, shark scales, and shark tendons...... There is no place in the body that is not a treasure, so in the eyes of humans, the shark is equal to money.

However, for many, the existence of the shark is nothing more than a legend, because it has been a long, long time since anyone has seen the real shark.

As early as hundreds of years ago, because of human hunting, the shark tribe migrated to the deep sea, the new generation of young sharks have not seen the scenery above the sea, only heard that humans are bad people, the sea is very dangerous.

However, among the little girls of the shark tribe, there are still many love stories of the shark that are strictly forbidden to be spread by adults.

In these stories, the interracial love that is embellished by the story attracts the full attention of a young girl, who is the youngest daughter of the current shark king, Ifemo.

After listening to the love story between a human man and a mermaid daughter, Iphimo's curiosity about the outside world quickly swelled, but he was afraid of the dangers that his father had mentioned, so he decided to turn into a small fish and take a look at it closer to the sea.

As a result, before she could get close to the surface, she was caught by a fishing net from a sailing ship.

It is a royal ship sailing from one country on the other side of the sea to a country on the other side of the sea, carrying a prince who is going to the country on the other side of the sea to marry a princess to inherit his uncle's throne.

The prince happened to wander around the deck when he spotted this little golden fish mixed in with a school of edible fish, and kept him in his room in a transparent glass tank, where he could talk to it when he was bored.

Before the ship came to shore, the prince dumped it into the sea and released it, then waved it ashore with a wave of his hand to the surface.

Similar to the plot in the fairy tale, Ifimo returned to the palace, because he had fallen in love with the handsome prince who had saved his life, and found a witch who lived in a remote part of the mermaid settlement and asked her for help.

The witch is an outlier among the mermaids, because she is wrapped in a dark black robe all the year round, and only a pair of dry hands like tree bark are exposed all over her body, and every day she tinkers with some inexplicable things in her own hut, and many people shun her, and only step into her hut when they need to exchange something.

In almost the same order as in the original fairy tale, the witch took away Iphimo's tears and half her beauty, gave her legs and human vocal cords, and sent her to the sea, directly ashore.

Following the traces left by the prince, Iphimo chased him outside the palace, but by this time the wedding had come to an end, and she had lost her sweetheart, and she had to use the only opportunity in her life to sing a song for the prince.

After singing, Ifimo hid, but the prince, who was fascinated by the singing, lost all interest in the princess, and spent all day and night looking for the girl who sang at the wedding.

The angry princess found the hiding Iphimo one step earlier than the prince, and locked her in the dungeon of the palace, afraid that she would be found by the prince, because Iphimo could not cry and could not make a sound, so when the prince heard the news and came to her, he did not think that the mute girl was the girl who sang the praises at the beginning, and turned around and left.

Iphimo was heartbroken, and the princess gloated.

The wind brought the news of the little princess Iphimo back to the sea, and the other princesses of the mermaid tribe hurried to find the witch and ask her for help, asking her to save Iphimo back to the sea.

The witch took the princesses' hair and gave them a scimitar, saying that if Iphimo stabbed the blind prince with this knife, and then dripped the blood from the prince's eyes on her feet, she could turn back into the form of a shark and return to the sea, but there was a curse on this knife, and if she held it but did not do it, Iphimo would be a person who stayed in the dark forever, and could not see the daylight, nor the moonlight, and if she was exposed to the sun, she would turn into foam, and when she was exposed to the moonlight, she would become a firefly.

With knives in hand, the princesses exchanged a box of tears that had accumulated after crying for days for the ability to walk on land for a short time, and ran to the palace to save their sister.

Having taken the knife from her sisters, and having managed to rescue her from the dungeon, Ifimo hesitated to hold it.

After dusk, the second sister of Iphimo lured the prince into the garden with her own voice to meet Iphimo, and Ifimo was ruthless, took the scimitar behind her, and waited for the prince to come near.

When the prince saw her, he said—

"Your eyes are very similar to a little goldfish I once saved, very beautiful."

Ifmo's hand trembled, and the scimitar fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the prince's bodyguards immediately took control of her, and at that moment, the moon peeked out of the clouds.

Ifemo turned into a swarm of glittering fireflies, flying higher and higher, and disappeared into the moonlight. 】

After reading the original fairy tale and then the adapted movie, Yang Qinglan was stunned and didn't see who the villain was.

"This girl is so unlucky, it's all her own doing, who can blame her? And no one harmed her! Yes...... The princess who kept her in the dungeon? But in the whole movie, she has a very low sense of survival, is she really a villain? ”

The washing machine was a little speechless: [You can check the task information, why should you guess it yourself?] 】

"If I can't even guess who the projection character is, how else is this mission going to be done?"

[Okay, then you guess slowly.] 】

Yang Qinglan read the original fairy tale and the synopsis of the movie again.

In her opinion, the so-called villain is the person who hinders the role of her protagonist's aura in the protagonist's perspective, but no matter how she substitutes herself for the only protagonist Iphimo, there is no way to determine who is the villain.

But in fairy tales, it seems that villains are not defined like this?

Thinking back to the puppet world that had been projected, Yang Qinglan felt that her thinking just now was not right.

After about ten minutes, she hesitated and asked, "Could it be that I want to project ...... That old witch?? ”

Not wanting to answer this question, the washing machine directly pasted the task information in front of her eyes.

[Quest Protagonist: Ifimo]

[Task Supporting Role: All Shark Clan]

[Villain of this article: Witch]

Sure enough, it was the witch!

"Why her? She didn't do anything bad! ”

[Probably because, in fairy tales, she is not set to be a good person? 】

Saying such an answer, even the system intelligence of washing machines, which has always been logically rigorous, seems a little uncertain.

Yang Qinglan rolled her eyes at the sky.

Fairy tales are written for children, and the witch who wears a black robe and is mysterious every day is not a good person no matter how you look at it, so she deserves to be regarded as a villain?

If she wants to wash away this witch, wouldn't she just need to pick up the light of herself?

"How do I think this task is easier than the one I did before I leveled up?"

[Don't jump to conclusions until you start a mission.] 】

“…… There was a bad feeling. ”

[Huh.] 】
