The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

The opening story of the film has some changes from the original setting script of Wei En.

In the original setting, after Wei En witnessed her parents being killed by a demon, there was actually a section behind it. Why did Wayne tell the people in the village that there were demons, and hired mercenaries to hunt down demons, but it turned out to be useless. For example, she heard that there was a famous demon hunter Frey in the northern Freljord, and then went north Looking for someone...

However, these contents were drastically deleted by Fan Zhe during the script creation stage.

There are two main reasons: when Vayne witnessed the demon killing his parents, the demon was still there. According to the narration of the original setting, after seeing the young girl Vayne, the demon just showed a wicked smile, and then left.

This point is actually very strange: a demon who will come to slaughter people all over the house, why would he let her go after seeing a little girl for no reason?

If this kind of thing is set up, few people watch it, and the degree of discussion is not high. If such a problem that makes people can't figure it out, it can still be passable; Affect the audience's sense of substitution when watching a movie.

Even if there are other explanations later, the audience will not care about it, and they will immediately start to spray when they look unhappy.

The second point is more important.

From the death of Wayne's parents to the time she finds Frey, this part of the story is too inkling. If the movie does not deal with this aspect further, the whole rhythm will appear very procrastinated.

This is intolerable.

Therefore, Fan Zhe is quite bold in this aspect of adaptation.

The following story entered into the relationship between Wayne and Frey.

The hunter from the Freljord played by Eva Green is a very important role in this film. She plays a mentor-type role in the early stages and even the middle of the film.

In this movie, she assumes a connecting role. She will be Vayne's life mentor, teaching her to become a demon hunter, and at the same time shaping her life, which has had a huge impact.

The next story of the movie is that Frey takes Wei En from her family's farm to a nearby village and town, and then prepares to leave.

But Wei En, who had come to his senses, was already filled with anger and only wanted revenge.

She begged Frey to take her.

At first, Frey refused, but here also began to show the character of Wei En, the protagonist. She always followed Fu Lei, walking in the wilderness. No matter how hard it is, I will always follow.

But Frey was not so easily impressed.

A little annoyed by Vayne's following, Frey put forward a condition: she wants to see Vayne's courage.

Frey took Vayne all the way north from Demacia, and then arrived in the Freljord.

Frey wanted to hunt an ice troll that roamed the border between the Freljord and Demacia.

To lure this monster out, you need a bait. The one who took on this role was naturally Wei En.

Seeing Wayne's hesitant look, Frey smiled.

At this moment, the screen flashes back, and the plot of the movie changes to start telling the story about Frey. Here, there is not much ink and ink in the movie, and it takes less than half a minute to shoot. Through a few flashbacks, it is revealed that Frey's relatives were also killed by demons. This is also the opportunity for her to embark on the path of such a witcher.

Frey himself really didn't want to carry such a drag bottle, but this was only one of the reasons. The more important part is reflected in the conversation between Frey and Wayne.

When Frey saw that Wayne was hesitant and didn't directly agree to be the bait, she said, "This is good. After a while, I'll send you back to Demacia, forget about these things, forget about the pain." Pain, live your life well. Hatred and pain may be deeper than anything for you now, but time is the best antidote. Wait three, five, ten, twenty years, You'll slowly forget about it..."

"I'll go." The girl Vayne interrupted Frey's long speech with two simple words.

These words may be Frey's reflection on his own life. She used to be a person who only lived in revenge and hatred, but now she obviously has her own introspection about her previous state.

But, obviously, no matter how sincere Frey said, it was impossible for the young Vayne to listen.

"What did you say?" Frey froze for a moment.

"I said I'll go." When Wayne said this, his face was firm.

"Do you know what your words mean?"

"I know, there is a possibility that I will die..."

"It's not possible, but you will definitely die." Frey said, "Ice troll, this kind of monster, even if I don't drag you down, I still can't completely defeat it in a face-to-face confrontation. If you really If you lure the ice troll out, then you are close to death. Even if you don't die on the spot, I will definitely not protect you in the subsequent battles, you will not survive."

"Then let me die." Wei En said, "If I can exchange my life for a monster, it will be worth it."

"And... this is my only chance for revenge."

Frey was silent for a while, and then said: "Well, that's it, I just need a bait. A young human girl is easier to attract that monster than me looking for a sheep."

After she finished speaking, she strode forward, and Wei En hurriedly followed.

After walking a few steps, Frey stopped again: "If you can survive this time, I will consider teaching you something."

Wei En's eyes lit up: "It's a deal!"

...

The first part of the movie passed in this way, but the subsequent transfers still did not waste ink.

The story of the next scene entered a tundra area. This is a high-level aerial shot. On a piece of tundra, two figures are like two black spots, walking slowly, while the scene in the distance is a majestic snow-capped mountain.

Obviously, they have left Demacia and entered the land of the Freljord in the north.

This country is located at the northern end of the Valoran continent, and its most famous symbol is ice and snow.

It is said to be a country, but in fact, this is a country that has not yet been unified. It once unified, and the mighty Freljord Empire once ruled the entire world at the same time as Shurima, one north and one south.

Of course, that's all in the past now. The powerful Shurima and the legend of the Ascended have been buried in the yellow sand at the southern end of the world; the Freljord Empire, which was in the limelight at one time, has now been torn apart and has become many small tribes. A land where people conquer each other and people struggle to survive.

Many people in China can actually recognize that the filming location of the Freljord should be XZ in China. Here you can see a lot of shadows similar to XZ, of course, it seems specious, the main reason is that there are a lot of special effects.

After dark, two simple tents were set up on the leeward side of a boulder, and a bonfire was raised in the middle, and the two were huddling next to the bonfire to keep warm.

At this time, Wei En's clothes had already changed. She no longer wears the costume of a rich lady in Demacia, and has become more down-to-earth. The exposed inner lining seen from the neckline is still made of cotton, but a thick windproof leather jacket has been worn on the outside, with a lot of hair on it. A spotted fur cloak that was stripped from an unknown animal was draped over her body.

"Are we almost there?"

"Well, I can arrive tomorrow, that monster is active around here." Frey said, "Tomorrow I will set up a trap, and then I need some of your blood, that monster who doesn't know where it is hiding has a good nose , he will find you with the smell."

"It's very cunning, and it may not show up for a few days, but I believe it can't refuse your temptation."

"During those few days, I will not have any contact with you. I will give you enough water and food, and I will ambush you nearby. As long as that monster appears, your task is to attract it to At the trap, do you understand?"

Holding a wooden cup in his hand, Wei En said while drinking steaming water, "I understand."

Frey continued: "You are light, you can run directly over the trap, it is heavy, so it will step on it. Then, you can run, don't look back, run as far as possible. Wait until I kill This monster, I will find you."

"What if you die?"

Frey laughed loudly: "You should worry about how you will survive until I show up tomorrow."

...

After dawn, the story continues.

Frey had already designed the trap, cut Vayne's wrist, and took a whole bowl of blood. During this process, Eva Green's performance was in place. As a seasoned witcher who once only thought about revenge, she didn't show any intolerance or pity, and she seemed very cold and even ruthless.

Holding a bowl full of steaming blood, Frey took a deep breath, with an intoxicated and even greedy look on his face.

"What a wonderful taste, even I might not be able to bear it, let alone that bloodthirsty monster."

While she was speaking, the girl Wei En, who was clutching her wrist, was very pale due to blood loss. "When does it start?" she asked.

"Don't worry." Frey stretched her hand into the bowl, scooped out some blood with the palm, and smeared it on Wei En's body, "This blood is guaranteed to fill you with flavor, and it can make that monster You will be found easily. The rest of the blood, I will spill it in some nearby places where it often appears."

"good."

"Wait patiently." Frey said, "Maybe after an hour, it will find you. But it is very cunning, it will not attack immediately, but will choose to observe for a period of time. This period of time may be very short, or it may be very long , and even last for several days. During this time, don’t freeze to death, a corpse that can’t run can’t lure monsters into the trap.”

"Okay." Wei En seemed to be the only one who could say this word.

Frey gave her another rucksack: "This is food and water, enough for you to eat for several days. During this time, you can't see me, but I will always pay attention to you. If you choose to give up, Just lift up and shake your blood-stained clothes, and I will appear and send you back to Demacia."

"I will not give up."

"I wish you would give up."

...

Next, the movie took a lot of time to show the appearance of the lonely Wei En in the cold night of the icy tundra.

Blood loss, cold, darkness...these all magnified her loneliness infinitely.

What follows is a personal monologue of hers. In this passage, Wei En, as a girl who has been living in pampering in the past, shows her fear and pain when facing great changes. But it is precisely because of these painful foils that she is willing to be the bait for hunting monsters and becomes more powerful.

It's a complete one-man show, with only Vayne moving in the scene—and, of course, the wind.

However, Oona still gave a very masterful performance.

She showed Wei En's inner strength through her performance.

This is not a special effect or something that the system can handle, it is the actor's own ability.

And this kind of thing, shown to the audience, has the most direct effect, which is to make the audience empathize with it and deeply bring it into the emotion of the movie.

Fan Zhe was also present, even though he had watched the finished film several times, he still couldn't help but applaud for it.

He turned his head and observed the reactions of the audience, and he was very satisfied with the results he saw.

No one was whispering, no one was distracted, everyone's attention was deeply attracted by the content on the big screen.

This is enough.

...

For the audience, it is only a few minutes of watching the movie, but in the movie, Wei En has already spent four hard cold nights.

Her pain was intuitively displayed in front of the audience.

A lot of blood loss, cold food, harsh environment, lack of sleep... These are not something a little girl can easily bear. No matter how determined she was, she couldn't persist for a while, and even thought about waving her clothes, calling for Frey, and ending this pain.

However, she resisted in the end.

"Frozen to death, starved to death, I will persevere!"

The thought of revenge, the power it brings is so powerful.

At the end of the fourth cold night, the sky was dimly lit.

Wei En, who has persisted for a long time, dozed off.

During these five days and four nights, she had very little sleep time.

However, at this moment, she heard a burst of heavy footsteps.

With blurred eyes, he looked into the distance. Before dawn, under the dim scene, a vague but huge black figure could be seen in the distance, walking step by step.
