The world's first male god, starring a super big IP, ushered in the curtain call
Let me ask, who is the world's most beautiful man?
Everyone's answer may be different.
However, last year there was a selection of "Top 100 Most Handsome Faces in the World".
The final winner was British actor Henry Cavill.
(Korean idol Hwang Hyun-chen and British actor "Sweet Tea" Timothée Chalamet are ranked second)
Henry Cavill won this time is no accident.
After all, you have to look good.
Be in shape.
To have a work with a work.
As he announced that he would no longer play "Superman", everyone regretted while looking forward to his new work.
Recently, another super big IP starring him also ushered in a curtain call.
When the official propaganda was carried out, he even took the initiative to sell him as a spoiler:
He took it off again!
It's just that this farewell is a little unpleasant.
Today, Uncle Yu will talk about the tycoon's Netflix signature drama -
The third season of "The Witcher"
The Witcher Season 3
In 2019, "The Demon Hunter" was officially broadcast.
As soon as it was launched, it set a new Netflix broadcast record.
It was even once regarded as the most anticipated epic American drama after "Game of Thrones".
In particular, the male protagonist played by Henry Cavill (fan nickname: tycoon) has been recognized by all audiences.
The sharpest comment I've ever seen comes from a netizen who scored 2 stars:
Even if you don't like this drama, you have to admit that the male protagonist is right.
In fact, before the series was launched, Henry Cavill was sought after by fans of the original "Demon Hunter".
Whether it is body shape or temperament, or the understanding of the original work, it is very in line with the expectations of fans for the protagonist "White Wolf Geralt".
Therefore, when the news of the official announcement of the protagonist was released, it once made countless fans instantly orgasm.
Henry Cavill not only has both form and god, but also has the attribute of "game otaku" in reality.
As the world's most beautiful man, his favorite thing is video games, not going out to socialize.
Looking through his past videos, you will be amazed.
In addition to those movie mixes, the most popular is a video of online installation.
He wears a hurdle vest and exposes a muscular figure.
At the same time, a high-end computer was assembled with great care.
The installation is very professional, the body is very hot, and the real men and women eat all.
The most enviable are:
He can be a veteran gamer while also "entering the game" to get a live cosplay.
Not only "The Witcher", he has also been connected with many well-known game IPs.
For example, "Warcraft".
Many gamers have called for him to play the popular character "Alsace" in the game.
The two are not only highly similar in image, but also in temperament.
The tycoon can perform both the heroic courage of facing death and the gloomy ruthlessness of the most evil.
In the eyes of fans, he is the right choice.
On the left is a fan-made picture, and on the right is the game "Alsace"
Another example is Warhammer.
At the end of last year, Amazon officially announced that it would produce a live-action series based on the game "Warhammer 40K".
It was also announced that Henry Cavill would star.
As he himself said, he has been a fan of the Warhammer series for more than two decades.
When I'm free, I put together models at home.
Interestingly.
When he was originally invited to play Superman, he was busy working on a copy under World of Warcraft and did not receive a call from the director.
Later, he laughed and said that he almost lost the opportunity to play Superman.
"Superman" is the most important role in the tycoon's career.
10 years ago, "Superman: Man of Steel" was released.
Despite the average reputation of the movie, the tycoon's performance in the movie is remarkable.
The appearance can be beaten, and the figure is invincible.
Whether it is the image or the performance, it materializes the first top stream of American comics "Dachao" in people's imagination.
In subsequent movies such as "Batman v Superman" and "Justice League", every appearance of Dachao is impressive.
As depicted in the movie, the "S" on the chest stands for "hope."
Every appearance of Superman can make people exclaim in their hearts that "the savior is coming".
Although the identity of "senior otaku" has added glory to his appearance in manga and game adaptations to a certain extent.
But he also makes a big impression in many action movies.
Again and again with strength to prove that as an actor, he is full of charm in himself.
For example, Guy Ritchie's "Secret Agent".
The traditional suit is a three-piece suit, and the pretense is fierce and cold.
Another example is "Mission Impossible 6".
One of the battles directly earned him the title of "Toilet God of War".
Although it is an anti-angle, it is still handsome.
In fact, it is not difficult to find that most of the tycoons choose their own preferences.
Not only do I want the audience to enjoy watching it, but I also want to make my performance cool.
Perhaps it is this concept that also makes him devote himself to each role.
Back to The Witcher.
From the beginning, the show was given high hopes.
First of all, the original "The Witcher" is very popular.
From literary fiction to the game of the same name, there are many loyal fans.
Secondly, the production team is strong.
Netflix, who has deep pockets and no bad money, plus a talented and popular tycoon.
Such a combination seemed to be an absolute burst rhythm at the time.
When the series was officially launched, it did make us feel Netflix's "banknote ability".
The overall medieval dark painting style makes people can't help but return to the magical world in the original work.
The cult-style monster design is also very amazing.
There are also various explosive magic scenes.
As small as opening a portal and playing with a fireball.
From group damage to full map attacks.
At least in terms of special effects, it is burning money and burning in place.
Of course, it is indispensable to restore the original famous scene.
In the game, the "white wolf"'s proclivity for bathing has been revived by the tycoon.
Unfortunately, the part of the series related to the original work has reached the point.
Netflix still committed the common problem of all the same type of remake tragedy -
Blind originality.
Instead of using the excellent story blueprints from games and novels, you just use the names of the characters, the worldview, etc. to write new cliché stories.
Perhaps Netflix itself seems to be a genius move.
But in the eyes of fans, it is just playing badly.
In vain, there is no god.
Compared with the original work, the plot is almost completely changed.
In the first season, I did my own clever work.
The three characters are in three story lines in three different time spans.
It's extremely confusing to watch.
Quite deadly for the average viewer who doesn't know about IP.
By the second season, the story lines tended to be unified.
This made the reputation of the second season rise slightly.
Uncle Yu originally thought that Netflix had opened the ropes.
I didn't think it was just a return to light.
When it came to the third season this time, I was dumbfounded.
What a grand magical world, what earth-shattering power struggles.
It's all gone.
In its place were lengthy and boring court plays, as well as large boring literary plays.
Even the play became boring.
Along with the devil, there are also characters.
As early as the first season, I saw the casting of the series that was too different from the original.
Except for the protagonist, the rest of the characters were spit on.
In the original work, she was known as the most beautiful woman on the mainland with a heart higher than the sky, Yennefer.
In the play, he has become a character with mediocre appearance and mediocre calculations.
The glamorous warlock in the original, Triss.
In the play, the image is very different.
It was not only the appearance that was subverted, but also the personality.
In the original work, Yennefer has a city in mind and a strategist.
As a result, in the third season, it completely became a love brain with no ambition.
Even if the external appearance is not enough, there is no inner beauty.
Such a flat and rigid portrayal naturally caused strong dissatisfaction among fans.
Since the launch of the third season, the show's reputation has continued to decline.
The Douban score has also slipped from 8.0 in the previous season to 6.9 today.
On IMDb, of the 5 episodes that have been released this season, the highest episode is only 7.1.
In the comment area, criticism is more difficult than one.
And many people complain about the bad drama, but also care about the starring tycoon.
Some even say:
"Why don't you watch Superman: Man of Steel."
And the tycoon himself is actually extremely dissatisfied with the magic reform of this play.
As early as before the third season aired, he confirmed that he would not continue to appear in the fourth season.
The new starring is the younger brother of "Brother Hammer"
Along with this surprising news, many old accounts were turned over.
The conflict between the tycoon and the crew has become a major slot outside the play of "The Demon Hunter".
Last year, the "Demon Hunter" crew broke the news of various "evil deeds" of tycoons on the set.
Not only often denying the views of the director and screenwriter, but also forcibly revising the script, and even accused of lack of professionalism and misogynistic tendencies.
The reason why he quit "Demon Hunter" was also because he was expelled from Netflix.
If you look only at these, it seems to mean that the image of the tycoon has overturned.
But as things fermented, the wind quickly changed.
The vast majority of people chose to believe Henry Cavill and blamed Netflix in turn.
Some people even said bluntly:
"Without Henry Cavill, The Witcher is nothing."
"Admit it, Netflix, without Henry Cavill, The Witcher is worthless."
In fact, the opportunity to star in "The Demon Hunter" was also won by the tycoon himself.
Because he loves the series very much.
Not only cleared "The Witcher 3" many times, but also read all the novels.
It can be said that he is truly familiar with the story of "The Witcher".
Generally speaking, having such a leading actor who knows the original work well should be a great blessing for the series.
But for the "Demon Hunter" crew, this is not the case.
Some media have broken the news that the director and screenwriter of the crew have not only never played the game, but also read the novel.
There were even former screenwriters who quit the crew who broke the news that some screenwriters despised the game and the novel.
That's the magic change.
As the leading tycoon, he has communicated with the screenwriter many times for this.
I hope to make the characters and stories closer to the original.
This can also understand why things such as "conflict with the director and screenwriter" and "forced modification of the script" occur.
It's a pity that the disagreement between the two sides makes the final breakup inevitable.
What happens to The Witcher without Tycoon?
The answer is probably not optimistic.
Those viewers who chase the drama in order to watch the tycoon will almost always abandon the drama with him leaving.
More than 81% of viewers said they would not watch the fourth season of The Witcher
For such a result, Uncle Yu is also helpless.
On the one hand, I feel sorry for the "Demon Hunter" episode.
It is obviously a wonderful IP work, but it finally went to the end of the vulgar end.
On the other hand, it is a pity for Henry Cavill.
He is talented and popular, but he always seems to lack a bit of luck.
Whether it is the "Demon Hunter" series or the DC Cinematic Universe, it is fateful.
There were rumors that he quit The Demon Hunter in preparation for the sequel to Man of Steel.
As a result, now both characters have said goodbye to him.
At that time, it coincided with the release of "Black Adam", and his role as Superman also deliberately appeared in the ending Easter egg.
It seems to herald his return in the DC Cinematic Universe.
But just when everyone was looking forward to it, DC re-announced a new plan.
There is no white wolf, and there is no superman.
Fortunately, we can still expect him to bring us more surprises.
For example, the aforementioned American drama "Warhammer 40K".
Appeared in the Warhammer headquarters game workshop
Another example is the action film "Non-Gentleman War Department" with Guy Ritchie for the second time.
Just one set photo makes people think about the appearance of the World War II version of "Secret Agent".
Despite the glory, there have been troughs.
But the popularity and strength accumulated by the tycoon are enough for us to continue to look forward to him.
I prefer to think of him as a real-life "superman."
Expect him to continue to give us "hope."
