Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 235 Before the Spring Festival

Sunday, February 4th.

The fifth episode of fz will be aired on.

Up to now, the audience in Xia country has basically understood the drama.

The main plot is to seize the Holy Grail.

Then the plot is about the fighting between seven masters, seven heroic spirits, a total of fourteen main characters, and the plot introduces several minor supporting characters from the seven masters' families, friends and other social relationships.

For example, Tosaka Tokitoki's daughter Tosaka Rin, Matou Sakura, his wife, and another master, Matou Kariya, who loves his wife.

Then the protagonist Emiya Kiritsugu's wife Airi, daughter Illya, and assistant Maiya.
Although only four episodes have been aired, there are already more than twenty or thirty major and minor characters with names and lines.

But each character is well-developed, and is definitely not the kind of shallow character that the audience forgets their name after just a few minutes of watching.

The audiences in Xia country found the show very comfortable and brainless, and they enjoyed watching the passionate battles.

But my peers are learning.

Although Su Yan is difficult to surpass, there are many screenwriters and directors who have imitated Su Yan and achieved success in recent years.

Basically, every time one of his works becomes a big hit, there will be a follow-up trend a few months later.

Like the Qingkong TV's self-produced TV series "Magic Boy A Bing".

There are also other works like "Cyberpunk: Killing Fields", "A Journey Through Time and Space", "The Truth in July", etc., which are imitations of Su Yan's works as soon as you see the names, but Su Yan's fans also like to find gold in them.

Although these days the film and television industry is basically flooded with promotions for movies related to the Spring Festival Party in a few days.

But only on Sunday, the day when fz was released, even those movies that invested heavily in publicity could hardly surpass fz in popularity.

On major film and television forums, the number of discussion posts about Spring Festival movies and fz is basically equal.

"Come on tonight!"

"The plot ended too abruptly last week. The fight between Emiya Kiritsugu and Director Ken was cut short. I felt bad for the whole week."

"I'm going to watch FZ today, and Rurouni Kenshin in the theater six days later. Ah, Chinese New Year, I love you!"

"Is this the way the plot is going to be, with Emiya Kiritsugu defeating an enemy in one or two episodes, and then it's over? Isn't that a bit too monotonous?"

"So what else? Isn't that what battle dramas are all about?"

"Not really, I just feel that the style is quite different from Lao Zei's previous work. Even in Cyberpunk Edgewalker, the story is the main focus, and the fighting is just the product of the intensified conflicts between the characters. I feel that the character creation in Fate is not as shocking as that in Edgewalker."

"It's only been four weeks since the show started. What are you thinking? The protagonist of the fourth episode of Edgewalker is still picking up girls! Just keep watching. It's too early to question it now. You'll easily be slapped in the face by the old thief."

"I also think there's something wrong with me. I used to feel really bad watching those depressing dramas, but after watching this pure battle drama in Fate, I feel a little uncomfortable!"

"Don't doubt it, you are fine, this is just hypocrisy!"

As it approached eight o'clock in the evening, Dong Ran turned his eyes away from the online forum.

Although the water forum is very interesting, Fate is about to start broadcasting.

As the Spring Festival is approaching, he has already returned home for the holiday and started to enjoy a carefree life at home. The barbecue snacks and drinks prepared in advance, coupled with tonight's battle drama, are perfect.

Soon, the TV screen paused and the theme song of fz sounded.

Although this was the fifth time he had watched the theme song, he was still impressed by the TV series' visual effects.

"This is the work of an old thief. I'm really willing to spend money on it!"

Every second is full of money.

The plot of the fifth episode of fz continues from the end of the fourth episode, with Kiritsugu Emiya taking the initiative to attack Director Ken.

As Altria and the Lancer Diarmait were fighting, they encountered Gildred, a magician-class hero.
The latter's real identity was a murderous marshal of an empire. Then, in order to resurrect his best friend Joan of Arc, he turned into a murderer.

And it just so happens that the heroine Altria looks exactly like the goddess in his mind, Joan of Arc.

The story begins when he and his master Ryunosuke Uehara intervene in the knight battle between Altria and Diarmuid.
Dong Ran didn't quite understand what the classes like magician, berserker, swordsman, archer, and spearman meant in the plot.

However, he could probably sense that Su Yan's settings in the plot were probably intended to prepare for game adaptation after Fate becomes popular in the future.

But even though he couldn't fully comprehend these detailed settings, in the plot, Kiritsugu Emiya and Director Ken, Altria and Diarmuid, Gildred, Kiritsugu Emiya's wife Airi and Maiya teamed up to fight Kotomine Kirei.
The perspectives on the three-way battlefield switched back and forth, and the battle scenes dazzled him. Then the plot was also very dramatic. Kenneth lost his mind because of Kiritsugu Emiya's despicable means and was tricked by Kiritsugu Emiya. He was shot by the bullet made from his own ribs, which destroyed his magic circuit, which was equivalent to wasting his magic.

Kotomine Kirei killed Airi and Maiya and left.

When I left, I was still confused.
Why did he feel that there would be someone like Airi who was willing to fight to the death for Emiya Kiritsugu, who was similar to himself and would never be understood by anyone?

And Airy was saved from death because Kiritsugu Emiya implanted Saber's scabbard into her body in advance, giving her the ability to heal herself.

The plot setting was a little too complicated for Dong Ran, but he could still understand it.

Even if you don’t understand it the first time, you can always go to the forum to find other fans’ explanations.

But the following plot is a bit pleasing to the eye.

Director Ken was seriously injured by Kiritsugu Emiya and then rescued by Diarmait. If Diarmait did not admire Altria's chivalry and did not want to kill Altria's master in this way, he would have killed Kiritsugu Emiya on the spot.

However, the rescued Director Ken lost his chance to become a magician because his magic circuit was destroyed. He was forced by his wife Sora to transfer the command seal that controlled the Heroic Spirit to her.
then
Sora looked at Diarmait with joy and admiration.

Diarmait looked at Sora with sadness in his eyes. She was like this when she was alive.

The wife of the loyal lord fell in love with her, which eventually led to the disintegration of the relationship between the lord and his subjects.

This time, too.

This plot completely confused Dong Ran.

This Director Ken was so awesome in the first episode, mocking the Weber family for having bad blood, which led to Weber stealing his relics and then joining the Holy Grail War.

Now that’s great, it’s only been a few episodes.

He became a cripple, and his wife betrayed him and took away his Command Seal by coercion.
I also like the heroic spirits he summoned.

You old thief, you still know how to play.

Dong Ran really wanted to write a big "miserable" on Director Ken's face.

But these are not the most exciting parts of this episode.

Due to the battle between the heroic spirits of the Holy Grail War, a large number of casualties occurred in Fuyuki City.

Alexander, the King of Conquerors, who had been inactive until now, summoned his chariot and drove it with Master Waver through the streets filled with victims.
Fires were everywhere and the music was tragic.

The pain in Waver's eyes at the sacrifice of ordinary people in the Holy Grail War contrasted with Alexander's solemn but weathered expression.

The scene where King Alexander drove the chariot with Weber became the first famous scene of the drama fz in Dong Ran's mind.

Although this plot does not use many characters' words to describe their feelings, the emotion, atmosphere, and artistic conception are all based on the actors' performances.

That tragic and moving emotion lingered in Dong Ran's heart.

The ending song appears.
Dong Ran finally came to his senses.

The scene of the King of Conquerors and Weber standing on the chariot really looks like a king and queen touring the world.

Although the drama has always emphasized that Alexander is a lone king in history, Dong Ran has no idea about it.

However, this half-minute plot made Dong Ran begin to yearn for this virtual character a little bit.

It seems that this is what a king should be like.

it's over.
The character creation of Lao Zei is really strong.

Dong Ran felt a little lost as he was a little too involved.

Another week to wait.

But after this week, the one he was looking forward to was no longer Altria.

But Alexander the Conqueror.

Turning on the computer, Dong Ran went to the official website of Dimension Film and Television to check out the character setting collection for The King of Conquerors.

"Are these things really virtual?" Dong Ran looked at them for a long time and sighed.

How did Su Yan come up with these characters?
