Chapter 866: The Beginning of the Great War

"This is a world where swords and magic coexist, and for tens of thousands of years, races such as humans, orcs, gnomes, dwarves, and elves have lived peacefully on several continents of this world, until ancient demons came from the sky......"

Silence in the vast theater, only Gael's in the sound? Does Gadona belong to Gianna? Proudmore's voice echoed everywhere, and the audience watched intently at the big screen full of dark tones, until a huge eye suddenly opened!

There was an evil and terrifying green glow in his eyes, which made people tremble.

"This ...... Is this Sargeras? ”

Needless to say, the person who asks this question is either a fan of the original novel or a fan of the game, "Or Kilgardan or Akmund?" ”

"Shhhhh......h ”

Nodding, Emir put his mind at ease for a while, and like the audience around him, he put all his energy into the film again.

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 lust for ruin, they have selected the irascible and bloodthirsty orcs, lured several of their leaders, Orgrim and Naozu, to lead the orcs to drink the demon's blood, and let the fallen protector of Azeroth, Medivan, the guardian of Tirephas, open the portal from the orc world of Draenor to Azeroth......"

When the portal opened, they shouted crazy slogans and walked in a neat queue to the portal to another continent, bringing killing, destruction, chaos and gore to the human world.

Because the 3D effect will darken the picture, plus most of the time of the film. will be dominated by dark tones, and World of Warcraft: Prince of Wrath is only available in IMAX, not in 3D.

But even so, when seeing the huge portal that shimmered with evil light, and the teams of orc soldiers walking into the portal, leading to the cursed land, neatly arranged on the empty field, the panoramic shot made with IMAX technology still made the audience marvel.

"Natalie? Portman's use of light and color is almost extreme. ”

As a former well-known film critic. One of the few people who is still active in the media, Kenneth? Turan and Todd? McCarthy sat together, and although the two had always been staunch Disney supporters, the emotion at the moment was heartfelt, "When Medivan first appeared, the sky of Azeroth was bright and the whole world was full of warm colors, but when he opened the portal with magic, the green light instantly stained the bright sky. The whole color tone began to change towards darkness, and as the orc army advanced, the dark green color quickly eroded the whole picture......"

"This is Natalie? Portman's style of expertise. ”

As the host of ABC TV, Todd? McCarthy has carefully studied Natalie's directing skills. He lowered his voice and replied to his companion, "From the earliest short film "Coffee", to the later "127 Hours" and "Black Swan". You can see her unique techniques and talents in the use of light and color. ”

The professionals on this side are more interested in the filming techniques and production skills, while the hardcore game fans on the other side are a little dissatisfied, not that he is dissatisfied with the results shown in the film. is dissatisfied with Ryan's adapted film setting.

Because he's a hardcore tribal player!

Although the film has only just begun, and the introduction of the world background is only as simple and clear as possible, he still clearly sees that the tribe is almost the existence of the evil side in the film!

This makes him a tribal player.

If it weren't for the grandeur at the beginning of the film, and the special effects were so good that he couldn't feel that the world was synthesized by computers, I'm afraid he would have wanted to quit.

Equally dissatisfied are some other fans of the game, and from their complaints, it can be heard that they are all hardcore tribal players.

And those alliance players are snickering at the same time, but also admonishing the tribe players they know, "At least the first five minutes of the film are excellent, aren't they?" ”

Indeed it is!

Hearing his partner's words, Emir calmed down for the time being, as he was captivated by the wonderful opening battle in the film!

"After the manic and bloodthirsty orcs rushed into Azeroth, they burned and looted, destroyed one human town after another, destroyed the kingdom of Stormwind in the south, marched all the way north, occupied several human and dwarven kingdoms one after another, and used assassins to kill the king of Stormwind Kingdom, Ryan? Wrynn, the Kingdom of Stormwind in the regent Anduin? Under the leadership of Sir Lothar, he had to temporarily retreat into the kingdom of Lordaeron, and the entire world of Azeroth was about to be destroyed......"

"At this critical juncture, a joint meeting of the various races of Azeroth was convened in Lordaeron, and the humans, dwarves, and High Elves, under the coordination of the mages of Dalaran, formed an alliance with the kingdom of Lordaeron as the core, and elected Anduin, the last bloodline of Arathi? As the supreme leader of the Alliance's army, Sir Lothar took advantage of the favorable terrain of the Arathi Heights to fight to the death against the orc army. ”

A big battle appeared in front of the audience.

The coalition forces gathered the remnants of the Stormwind Kingdom, the Silver Hand Knights of the Lordaeron Kingdom, the mage regiment of Dalaran, the High Elf ranger troops of Silvermoon City, and the elite dwarven infantry. Lothar, Uther, Tulayan, Muradin? Copperbeard, Aurelia? Windranger, Sylvanas? Windranger, Antonidas, and many more......

Orcs are undoubtedly tough when it comes to individual combat effectiveness, but when it comes to real marching combat, the likes of Orgrim and Naozu are not experienced Anduin at all? Lothar's opponents, after being replenished with troops and making certain preparations, finally defeated the orc army after a hard battle in this earth-shattering battle, driving them to the foot of the Black Rock Mountain.

"The defeat of the orcs is inevitable, and the ancient demon TongguΓ² cunning Neozu has conveyed a conspiracy to Orgrim, who lied about negotiating with the Alliance army, in the heart of the merciful Anduin? While Lothar was negotiating, Orgrim launched a sneak attack, killing the great and upright human leader. ”

On the silver screen, Anduin? Lothar's sword was broken by Orgrim and died a heroic death, and his lieutenant Tulayan picked up the broken sword, which represented glory and responsibility, and led the Knights of the Silver Hand who arrived later, completely defeating the orc army, capturing many green-skinned orcs, including Orgrim, and imprisoning them in many prisoner of war camps such as Lordaeron.

"There is no beginning with anything new."

Hear Todd? McCarthy's slightly disappointed voice, Kenneth? Turan nodded slightly, "As with other epics, there is bound to be a big battle at the beginning, although Natalie? Portman's control of light, color, and spectacle is superb, but there's really nothing innovative about it. ”

He paused for a moment and then added, "But you can't deny that this is what Ryan's films have always done, and it's also the safest way to attract the audience to watch it, and commercially speaking, this beginning can completely achieve the effect of A or even A+." ”

With the help of the ocean blue that lights up on the screen, Todd? McCarthy's gaze swept quickly from the theater, and his careful observation was naturally the reaction of ordinary audiences, who were almost all attentive to the film, rarely seeing each other, and were obviously extremely satisfied with the beginning of the film.

Yes, even tribal players like Emir can't say much about the excitement of the opening battle, and the film is like a rope that binds their minds, allowing them to be dragged and willingly continue to watch.

Neozu was lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the human coalition, found a sea ship, and began his escape across the sea, he was already seriously injured, and the road was bumpy, and when he stumbled into the northernmost continent of Northrend, his body was on the verge of collapse.

However, the shaman who had practiced the secret art of orcs possessed a cunning and powerful soul, and the demon who encouraged the orcs knew this, so he sent the Dreadlord Melganis and brought the demonic crafted artifacts of Naozu - the Helm of Domination and the Frost Sorrow!

The body died, but the soul of Naozu resided in the Helm of Domination, and together with Melganis, using the evil secret art taught by the demons, he established an army of the dead and demons - the Scourge Undead, and sealed himself in the Ice Throne, and with his cold soul, he peered into the south, the kingdom that caused him to suffer defeat - the kingdom of Lordaeron!

He became a powerful lich who kept an eye on the human dynamics in order to choose some of them to be his spokesmen on the continent of Azeroth, with the goal of destroying the world.

And the final candidate for Naozu is the young and vigorous Prince Arthas, whose soul is filled with a sense of honor and justice.

In the dark and cold tones, the Ice Crystal sealed the Helm of Domination, and the door to the Icecrown Fortress suddenly closed, waiting for someone to open it by their own hands.

Who is this person?

Non-game fans will definitely have this question, Iren just hasn't played the game or read the original book, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but subconsciously scratch his head.

Although I don't know much about the world that Ryan built single-handedly, the opening battle is matched with Gail? Gado doesn't have too much narration, enough for him to understand what kind of world this is, and what kind of background this story takes place.

The opening scene that lasted for nearly thirteen minutes ended, and the camera shifted to the previous fleeting kingdom of Lordaeron, the dark, cold and oppressive tones disappeared, and the bright sunlight shone on the kingdom's martial arts arena, and as the camera gradually pulled, a young man with blond hair and a tough and sunny face appeared in the picture.

"Arthas!"

The voice that sounded next to him clearly expressed his identity to the audience, the prince of the Lordaeron Kingdom! (To be continued......)
