Chapter 207 The reason

9days ago Urban Novels 8
In my previous life, the "Legend of the Night" series was quite successful as a movie with a lower investment, at least it had some loyalty.

However, what people talk about most about this series is the background setting, the urban battle between vampires and werewolfs, and the heroine Kate. As for the plot...

What is that?

Well, it's a bit too much to say that. The plot is still there and it's basically coherent, but it's not particularly detailed. I just put Romeo and Juliet on it, and the funds are limited, and the focus is on CG and action, so I had to spit a lot of blood on the plot.

It’s not that the story cannot be sprinkled, but how to sprinkle it well and make the audience accept it without being disgusted, it takes some effort.

For example, in "Titanic", you dance, I dance, or you will die of old age in the warm big bed, not here, everyone admits that this is very bloody, but Cameron is able to accept the audience and earn $2 billion in the box office around the world.

So it is inevitable to modify the story. Adrian replaced the male protagonist with a little girl. If it is still limited to the original framework, it is not easy to modify it well, but if the plot is jumped out and redesigned, he can let go. Besides, if it is a little girl, it won’t be bloody?

Maybe it will sprinkle better.

The story continues to develop, Selena quickly catches up with the werewolf, and then there is another fierce battle in the messy shopping mall, and both sides show their form without any scruples.

Selena was fine, but her eyes turned blue and her sharp teeth were exposed, but the werewolf looked much thicker, and because she was quite well funded, her hair was basically made slender and exposed.

This fight is still a battle between speed and strength. Although the vampire is no worse than the werewolf in terms of strength, at least the setting is like this, a woman punches a guy who is almost twice her size and one punch, and no matter how she looks at it, she feels a bit unreal.

Although this is originally a non-realistic work, it is not good to be too exaggerated.

Although the werewolf had tried his best to stop the most powerful night walker among the vampire, he was no match after all. In the end, he got two silver spinning darts on his body, fell out and smashed a large piece of glass and lay on the ground and dying.

But just as Selena stepped forward to deal with him, a werewolf who had changed more fiercely suddenly appeared next to her. She was about the same size as the one lying on the ground, but she was more flexible, more agile, and more combat-conscious.

Selena suffered a loss for the first time since she appeared. She was caught off guard and was suppressed completely and finally got knocked out.

However, although she jumped up immediately and showed off without fear, the other party seemed not to intend to entangle with her too much. She stared at her and grinned coldly, carried the injured werewolf on the ground and left immediately.

The opening action scene basically ends here, and the following literary scene begins to introduce the situation of the two races in a rough but comprehensive way. The vampires are basically not separated from their traditional image, mysterious, elegant, luxurious and decadent. The only one who is out of place is Selena, who has almost never smiled, just like a machine's head of the Dark Night Walker.

Their side is still a situation where the three giants take turns to rule and parliament, but unlike the original version, the vampires have become hawks and doves, because the werewolf's power has been slightly strengthened.

After all, although werewolfs have crazy problems, they can act during the day, which is more conducive to their infiltration into human society. Therefore, as long as they know how to operate, their power should never be much weaker than vampires.

Among the Big Three, Marcus doesn't care about anything, Victor is a hawk, and Emilia is a dove.

Although Emilia is currently in power, she is actually in a semi-empty state. Selena, the head of the Night Walker, is Victor's adopted daughter, and the second-person Klein is an ambitious guy who wants to get to power.

Of course, Emilia's so-called dove was just giving them some things as a master after the truce with the werewolf. For the werewolf who were still vampire slaves centuries ago, she thought this style was enough, so she could imagine how ridiculous this peace was.

These are all background settings. Parts are revealed in various ways during the entire story, and then the audience will piece together the prototype by themselves. The main plot is still moving forward unswervingly.

Selena, who returned to the resident, had doubts about the werewolf, because the other party was very similar to Lucien, the former werewolf leader recorded in the information. At the same time, she went to the weapon manager to ask about the ultraviolet bullets that werewolf had used.

This is also one of the most interesting aspects of the "Legend of the Night" series, using scientific methods to explain the emergence of vampires and werewolfs, and why vampires are allergic to ultraviolet rays and werewolfs are allergic to silver utensils.

It can be seen from the self-title of the two races in the original content introduction, but unfortunately I didn’t stick to it in the end. After all, this is a medium-investment commercial movie.

Although Adrian strengthened this aspect when he was writing novels, he couldn't see anything in the movie.

This is true. Movies and novels are two different carriers after all. As mentioned before, reading novels, I feel that there is something incomprehensible to me. I can also read them back and read them again, but in the cinema, I cannot return the movies to watch them again.

Let's go back to the movie, although Selena's main energy is focused on the relationship between the huge werewolf and Lucien, she is also confused as to why the two sides are competing for that little human girl.

Then the camera turned and came to the werewolf, who were also discussing the escape of prey.

I was disappointed, gentlemen, I was disappointed, we took a huge risk, and through the help of some people, we finally got the target out, but failed at the last moment, I was disappointed.

Lucien, who looked wild with disheveled hair, stared at his men in the middle of the hall of his old nest.

The subordinates didn't dare to say anything. The big black man, who he had personally rescued before, walked out of the house after bandaging: Sorry, head.

You should feel lucky, but fortunately they didn't use the last silver nitrate bullet or you wouldn't be back.

A thin old man followed him out, Lucien, there is good news and bad news.

Talk about it.Lucien waved.

The good news is that the blood sample works, basically…perfect.And the bad news is that the blood must be kept fresh.The old man spread his hands.

very good.Lucien knew what he meant, and everyone took action for me and had to find them in the shortest time!

I'll go too, head.Hei Datou also added it in. As long as they are still in this city, I will find it for you.

The werewolf were in action and the vampire was not idle. Emilia was furious about the result that the target finally slipped away, so that Klein had to retrieve it in the shortest possible time.

I don't understand, Your Excellency, why we must have that little girl, there are many testimonials.Craun was puzzled.

You don't need to understand, in short, if you start all your hands, you must find her.Emilia shouted that in this version, she was finally no longer a supporting role that only appeared once.

Then she turned to Selena who was called over: Bring the little girl back, if she couldn't... then kill her.

Although Selena is Victor's adopted daughter, and she is dedicated to hunting the werewolf. Although she has doubts about the werewolf, there is no more evidence, so she agreed, and Klein next to her looked jealous.

There is no doubt that in this current version, Lucien is still this guy in the vampire side, and the reason is almost the same to take over the power.

Of course, he didn't know what that girl meant to Alexander's descendants.

While both the vampire and the werewolf were in action, the man and the woman who were hiding in the small hotel, who were carrying the little girl, were also in a hurry.

We are going to escape, and I never want to go back to that damn ghost place again!

I know, but how can we escape?We have nothing, and we are not only looking for us!What you see is...that is a werewolf...

When we come, we always have to think of a way. If they find it, no matter who it is, we will be dead!

A man and a woman quarreled in a low voice in the room until a very tender but cold voice sounded: You can hand me over.

The little girl who had almost never spoken since she brought it out finally spoke. Her expression was very indifferent, as if she had become accustomed to life at the mercy of others.

It has to be said that Dakota's acting skills are excellent, at least few of his peers at this stage can compare with him. The feeling that there is nothing more sorrow than death is quite well interpreted.

I believe that all they want is me.The little girl continued.

These words made the man and woman shut up. They escaped together. Even if they thought about it, they wouldn't be able to do it.

But before they came up with a better solution, the werewolves came, and the order these guys received was to ask the child. Naturally, the scene between the men and women came to an end.

Facing the sudden werewolf, although the little girl had a panic expression and shrank into the corner, she basically looked indifferent until Selena, who came one after receiving the information, appeared.

Although this kind of joke is cliché, as long as the rhythm is well grasped, the audience just likes to read it. Not to mention anything else, when Selena broke into the window, Adrian clearly heard Lily, who was watching attentively, breathing a sigh of relief.

Next, there was naturally another big battle. Guns, fists, swords, and hidden weapons took turns to fight. As one of the biggest selling points of this movie, I have made great efforts in this area. Whether it is the shooting style of flying in the wall or the shooting style of gunfighting, they are all very exciting.

Of course, the most exciting thing is the duel between Selena and Lucien in human form, a standard showdown of speed and strength.

Adrian has paid special attention to this fight and communicated with Hong Kong's action guidance. In short, it is quick to fight quickly, but not so fast that it is difficult to see. It is somewhat similar to the last round table matchup of a certain kung fu movie in the future.

In this way, coupled with the effort of cutting, the scene is naturally particularly beautiful.

Are you Lucien?Selena asked this when she was temporarily in a position of confrontation.

It's really surprising that you actually know me. You're still so beautiful for hundreds of years, Selena.Lucien moved his body and said in a frivolous and indifferent tone.

It was you then?!Selena's eyes turned blue and her sharp teeth were exposed, becoming more and more dangerous.

That's what Victor told you?Oh, of course, he can always make people believe this.Lucien sneered and then began to transform.

Despite this, Selena maintained a certain degree of restraint, remembering to take the little girl back, so when she was suppressed by Lucien, she immediately forced the other party to retreat and took the little girl away quickly.

Lucien did not chase after him, but just returned to his human form and looked at the vehicle that was moving away with a complicated look, and then notified others to chase him.

Because of this, Selena did not go back as soon as possible, but found a place to settle down temporarily.

You are not injured?She asked after checking the little girl.

No.The little girl replied calmly.

Are you not afraid of me?Do you know who I am?Selena was a little curious.

I know.The little girl still looked indifferent, but she subconsciously hugged her knees.

Where did you come from?Selena asked again after the silence.

laboratory.The little girl looked up at her, your lab.

Our...lab?Selena narrowed her eyes, what kind of laboratory is used for?

I don't know, they... always smoked my blood... one after another... Although the little girl was still indifferent, the fear in her tone was very obvious. She closed her eyes and seemed to dare not recall it.

As cold as Selena couldn't help but feel a little moved. It seemed that something that had been buried for a long time had begun to loosen a little. After a long time, she said: It's very safe here, and no one will hurt you when you stay here.

Will you take me back?the little girl asked softly.

Not yet.Selena gave this answer as a god.

The little girl quickly fell asleep. Selena stood by the window for a long time. In the dim light transmitted from outside, although her face was still deserted, the audience knew that her heart must have been turbulent.

Finally, she walked to the sleeping little girl and stared at her silently. Her face gradually became softer, and scenes were interspersed in the camera.

It was the scene when she once existed in this world as a human being. A happy medieval little girl bathed in the sun with her parents, poor but very happy.

The director did a very good job here. Because the vampire is the protagonist in the whole movie, it mainly focuses on cool colors, and the overall color is dark and humid. Even if the vampire's residence has a more gorgeous color, it is just to highlight their Gothic decadence.

But when Selena began to recall, the tones of the picture began to warm up, like a ray of winter sunshine. Although it looked far away, it still gave people a warm feeling.

Selena's face gradually thawed, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thrilling pity from the bottom of her heart.

In the whole movie, the heroine doesn't have many expressions. Most of the time she spends cold faces and looks cool, just like a killing machine, so these few expressions look extremely attractive.

Moreover, the acting skills Kate had accumulated in the movies prepared by Adrian for her before were concentrated at this moment. In addition, he was a mother again, and his feelings were naturally very devoted. The maternal aura hidden deep in his heart came silently but was particularly strong. It easily showed Selena's inner world to the audience and resonated with it.

Very good, Kate, the infectiousness shown in this moment is not as strong as commercial movies, even those niche independent movies.Adrian leaned into Kate's ear and said.

Of course, I have practiced this shot countless times in private.Kate gave him a blank look and then sighed again. Unfortunately, it was just one shot.

Then how much more do you want?Adrian deliberately opened his eyes wide and turned to his daughter, look, Lily, your mother is so greedy.

Don't make noise, I want to watch a movie.Lily waved her hand impatiently and blocked her father's words back very directly.

This little guy... Adrian mumbled, letting Kate hold his hand and continue to appreciate it.

It is precisely because of Kate's outstanding performance that this shot has become the most classic shot in the whole movie and has become an opportunity for Selena to transform. This is another reason why the little girl is used to assume the key role rather than the original Romeo-type male lead.

It is not wrong to use love to change the heroine, but it is a bit abrupt to use this trick in a movie where the main selling point is action.

Anyway, although Victor killed her whole family and turned her into this, Selena was a vampire clan after all. Because love betrayed her own race, it would be fine if there was enough preparation. If not, it would give people a feeling of not raising an ungrateful wolf. The audience may not realize this, but they would always unconsciously leave such an impression in their hearts.

What's more, by background, Selena has lived for almost a thousand years. It's so easy to get moved by a man that the blood is too inaccurate.

The reason why this kind of medium-investment commercial film is rarely savored by, even if someone savors it, it is mostly savoring the action and CG. One is that it does not resonate with the emotional resonance of the film, and the other is that it is difficult to withstand scrutiny in details.

So instead of working on love, it is better to have the idea of ​​family affection, use an unfortunate little girl to evoke memories in her heart, evoke her innate motherhood, and awaken her human side. Then, when it is revealed later that Victor is the murderer who killed her family, betrayal is even more natural.

As mentioned earlier, if you change to a little girl, you can sprinkle blood, and it can sprinkle better.
