Chapter 413 The Avengers
The beginning story of the movie has some changes to Vayne's original setting manuscript.
In the original setting, after Vayne witnessed his parents being killed by a demon, there was actually a paragraph behind it. Vayne told people in the village that there were demons and hired mercenaries to chase the demons, but it was useless. For example, she heard that there was a famous witch hunter Frey in the north, and then went north to find someone...
However, these contents were deleted by Fan Zhe in the script creation stage.
There are two main reasons: when Vayne witnessed the demon killing his parents, the demon was still on the scene. According to the original setting, after seeing the young girl Vayne, the demon only showed an evil smile and left.
This is actually very strange: Why would a demon who could come and slaughter a whole family let her go after seeing a little girl?
If you set up such things, there are few people watching and not much discussion. If you have such an incomprehensible problem, you can still get by. If you put it in a movie, you may not be criticized for death, and it will greatly affect the audience's sense of immersion when watching movies.
Even if there are other explanations later, the audience will not care. They will start to squirt when they feel unhappy.
The second point is more important.
From the death of Vayne's parents to the discovery of Frey, this part of the story is too ingenious. If the movie does not take further processing in this regard, the whole rhythm will appear very slow.
This is untolerable.
Therefore, Fan Zhe is quite bold in adapting this aspect.
The story that follows enters the relationship between Vayne and Frey.
Eva Green plays the hunter from Frelljord, a very important role in this film. She plays a mentor role in the early and even middle stages of the film.
In this movie, she plays a role in connecting the past and the future. She will be Vayne's life mentor, teaching her to become a demon hunter, and at the same time shaping her life, having a huge impact.
The next story of the movie is that Frey takes Vayne from her farm to a nearby village and town, and then prepares to leave.
But Vayne, who had come back to his senses, was already filled with anger and was determined to take revenge.
She begged Frey to bring her.
At first, Frey refused, but here he began to show the character of the protagonist Vayne. She always followed Fu Lei and walked in the wilderness. No matter how hard she worked, she kept following.
But Frey was not so easily impressed.
A little annoyed by Vayne's follower, Frey put forward a condition: she wanted to see Vayne's courage.
Frey took Vayne and headed north from Demacia, and then arrived at Freyerzowd.
Frey wanted to hunt an ice troll that was raging on the border between Freljod and Demacia.
If you want to attract this monster, you need a bait. The one who plays this role is naturally Vayne.
Seeing Vinn's hesitant look, Frey smiled.
At this moment, the picture flashed back, and the plot of the movie turned to tell the story about Frey. Here, there was not much ink in the movie, and in less than half a minute of the shots, through several flashbacks, it was explained that Frey's relatives were also harmed by demons. This was also an opportunity for her to embark on such a path of witch hunting.
Frey himself really doesn't want to bring such a stubborn person, but this is just one of the reasons. The more important thing is reflected in the conversation between Frey and Vayne.
When Frey saw Vayne seemingly hesitant and did not directly agree to be bait, she said: "This is great. After a while, I will send you back to Demacia, forget these things, forget the pain, and live your life well. Hate and pain may be deeper than anything else for you now, but time is the best antidote. After three years, five years, ten years, twenty years, you will slowly forget it..."
"I'll go." The girl Vayne interrupted Frey's long speech with two simple words.
These words may be Frey's reflection on her life. She used to be a person who only lives in revenge and hatred, but obviously she now has her own reflection on the state she used to be.
But, obviously, no matter how sincere Frey said, the young Vayne could not hear it.
"What did you say?" Frey was stunned.
"I said I'll go." Wien's face was firm as he said this.
"Do you know what your words mean?"
"I know, maybe I'll die..."
"It's not possible, you will definitely die." Frey said, "Ice Troll, this kind of monster, even if I face it head-on without any burden, I don't have a complete confidence in defeating it. If you really lure the Ice Troll out, then you will be dead for a lifetime. Even if you don't die on the spot, I will never protect you in the battles later, and you will not be able to survive."
"Then let me die." Vayne said, "If I could exchange my life for a monster, it would be worth it."
"And...this is my only chance to take revenge."
Frey was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay, that's it, I just don't have a bait. A young human girl is always easier to attract that monster than to find a sheep."
After saying that, she strode forward and Vayne hurriedly followed.
After walking a few steps, Frey stopped again: "If you can survive this time, I will consider teaching you something."
Vayne's eyes lit up: "A word is certain!"
...
The first part of the movie passed like this, but the subsequent transition still did not waste any ink.
The story of the next scene entered a tundra area. This is a high-looking aerial shot. On a tundra, two figures walked slowly like two black dots, while the scene in the distance was a towering snow-capped mountain.
Apparently, they had left Demacia and entered the land of Freljode in the north.
This country is located at the northern end of the Valorand continent, and its most famous symbol is ice and snow.
It is said to be a country, but in fact, it is a country that has not yet been unified. It was once unified. The powerful Freljod Empire once dominated the entire world in the north and south at the same time as Shurima.
Of course, now this is all over. The powerful Shurima and the legend of the Ascension have been buried in the yellow sand at the southern end of the world; the Freljod Empire, which was once in the limelight, has now become a land where many small tribes compete against each other and people struggle to survive.
Many Chinese people can actually recognize that the location of Freljod should be Tibet, China. You can see many shadows similar to Tibet here, of course, they look plausible, and the main reason is that they have a lot of special effects.
After dark, two simple tents were set up on the leeward of a huge rock, and a bonfire rose in the middle, and the two were gathering next to the bonfire to keep warm.
At this time, Vayne's clothing had changed. She no longer wore the rich lady's outfit she had in Demacia, and became more pragmatic. The exposed lining seen from the collar was still cotton, but the outside was already wearing a thick windproof leather jacket with a lot of hair on it. A spotted fur cloak peeled from some animal was put on her body.
"Are we coming soon?"
"Well, I'll be here tomorrow, and that monster is moving around here." Frey said, "I'll set up a trap tomorrow, and then I need some blood from you. The monster who doesn't know where it is hiding has a very smart nose. He will find you with the smell."
"It's very cunning and may not appear for a few days, but I believe it can't refuse your temptation."
"I won't have any contact with you during those days. I will give you enough water and food and ambush nearby. And whenever that monster appears, your mission is to attract it to the trap. Do you understand?"
Vayne held a wooden cup in his hand and sipped the steaming water, saying, "I understand."
Frey continued: "You are light, you can run directly from the trap. It is very heavy, so it will step on. Then, you can run away, don't look back, the farther you run, the better. When I kill this monster, I will go to you."
"What if you die?"
Frey laughed: "You worry about how you live until I appear tomorrow."
...
After dawn, the story continues to unfold.
Frey had designed the trap, cut Vayne's wrist and took away a whole bowl of blood. During this process, Eva Green's performance was very good. As a sophisticated witch hunter who once only cared about revenge, she did not show any unbearableness or compassion, and seemed very cold and even ruthless.
Holding a bowl of steaming blood, Frey took a deep breath, with a little intoxication on his face and even some greedy colors.
"What a wonderful taste, even I may not be able to bear it, let alone that bloodthirsty monster."
While she was talking, Vayne, the girl covering her wrist, looked very pale due to blood loss. She asked, "When will it start?"
"Don't hurry." Frey put her hand into the bowl, took out some blood with his palm, and applied it to Vayne. "This blood is guaranteed to fill you with the smell, so that the monster can easily find you. The remaining blood, I will sprinkle it in some nearby places where it often appears."
"good."
"Wait patiently," Frey said, "maybe it will find you in an hour. But it is very cunning and will not take action immediately, but will choose to observe for a while. This period may be short, or long, or even last for several days. During this period, don't freeze to death. A corpse that cannot run away cannot lead the monster into the trap."
"Okay." Vayne seemed to be able to just say this word.
Frey gave her another rucksack: "There are food and water in it, enough for you to eat for several days. During this period, you can't see me, but I will keep paying attention to you. If you choose to give up, lift your blood-stained clothes and shake them, and I will appear and send you back to Demacia."
"I won't give up."
"I hope you give up."
...
Next, the movie spent a lot of time showing the lonely Vayne in the cold night of the cold tundra.
Blood loss, cold, darkness... all magnified her loneliness infinitely.
Next, there is a personal monologue of her. In this section, Vayne, as a girl who has lived in pampering life in the past, faces great changes. But it is precisely because of these painful stigma that she is willing to take on the choice of bait for hunting monsters and becomes more powerful.
This is a completely unicorn show, with only Vayne moving in the scene - of course, there is also wind.
However, Una still gave a very exquisite performance.
She showed Vayne's inner strength through her performance.
This is not a special effect, not something that the system can handle, it is the actor's own ability.
The most direct effect of this kind of thing being presented to the audience is that it can make the audience empathize and deeply incorporate the emotions of the movie.
Fan Zhe was also on the scene. Even though he had watched the film several times, he still couldn't help but applaud it.
He turned his head and observed the reactions of the audience, and the results he saw were also very satisfied.
No one whispered and no one was distracted, and everyone's attention was deeply attracted by the content on the big screen.
That's enough.
...
For the audience, it was only a few minutes to watch the movie, but in the movie, Vayne had already spent four difficult cold nights.
Her pain was intuitively presented to the audience.
A lot of blood loss, cold food, harsh environment, lack of sleep... These are not something a little girl can bear easily. No matter how firm she has, she could not hold on for a while, and even thought about waving her clothes, calling Frey to end the pain.
However, she finally resisted.
"I'll keep it to death if I'll starve, and I'll keep it going!"
The idea of revenge brings so powerful.
As the fourth cold night was about to end, the horizon was lit up.
Vayne, who had been persisting for a long time, was dozing off.
During these five days and four nights, she had very little sleep time.
However, at this moment, she heard a heavy sound of footsteps.
Chapter completed!
