The fist game took six years to produce the League of Legends animation "Battle of Two Cities", and the first season ended in mid-June at 5438+065438+ 10, which made the film critics and the audience explode.

Originally, I thought it was an animation of fan welfare. After all, there are countless cases of game adaptation animation rollover, and it is common for fans to surround themselves.

However, the battle between the two cities is indeed a good example. Once online, the score of Douban soared to 9.3, and the freshness of rotten tomatoes was 100%. IMDB also has a high score of 9.5, and Netflix's ratings have reached the top in 52 countries, and the ranking of the United States has also risen to the second place, surpassing the "Squid Game", which was popular a while ago, and it has become a catch.

There is no doubt that The Battle of Two Cities has been a success. After games and e-sports, fist has once again created explosive products in the entertainment field. Lin Song, vice president of fist game, also said at the premiere ceremony that "Battle of Two Cities" is both a beginning and a milestone, and it will become a new plan for fist game in the next decade.

1. The story begins: a city of two cities.

One story, two cities, since ancient times, everyone is familiar with this opposing artistic expression. Twin city-states represent natural dramatic conflicts, the upper class and the lower class, prosperity and destruction. No matter what era the audience is in, this is the beginning of a story with a very low threshold for acceptance and understanding.

The Battle of Two Cities also decided to focus on Peter Wolfe and two city states, which was introduced by the sister story of JINX and Wei (VI). Its original image and bride brother were favored by league players, opening the door for the audience with a more realistic conceptual background.

The "Twin Cities" in the title "Battle of Twin Cities" refer to "Peter Wolf" and "Anzu" in the land of runes respectively. They are located in the isthmus between two continents. Because of its superior geographical position, it has been the throat of trade activities since ancient times, and ports and businesses are very prosperous.

Once "Peter Wolf" was a city-state called "the city of progress". Because of the prosperity of commercial trade, it has brought countless wealth to the local family chamber of commerce, but these wealth can give them strength to fund many novel fields.

Therefore, countless inventors with lofty dreams gathered here, eager to find technology to change the world, and they invisibly promoted the rapid development of "Peter Wolf".

The latter "Anzu" is another situation. Here, highly toxic industrial sewage flows, turbid smog can be seen everywhere, and dirty streets are full of all kinds of garbage and industrial waste.

Although Anzu has been in chaos and obedience, it is still bustling and full of vitality. Because it has the largest black market in mainland China, many goods destined for Peter Wolf eventually flow into Anzu's black market. The residents here are mixed, covering three religions and nine streams, high and low, and even many exiled scientists engaged in dangerous experiments.

In fact, Pieterwoff and Zuanben are integrated, and even Zuanben developed earlier than Pieterwoff. However, due to endless ore mining and industrial construction, the seawater finally flowed back and washed away the oldest part of the city. Therefore, the dignitaries gave up Anzu and turned their attention to the Petrov area.

With the passage of time, the two cities gradually developed into independent cities with completely different cultures. If "Peter Wolf" represents the light on the ground, then "Anzu" is the darkness in the sewer.

However, the charm of A Tale of Two Cities is never a simple superficial conflict, and everyone's versatility can often be most truly presented in tears. With the change of position and interest, growth and misunderstanding, the characters gradually become full, which makes even the most "casual look" audience unconsciously put their true feelings into these characters who once existed only in the game, giving a good praise to the quality of the whole drama.

2. Sincerely produced: visual feast

However, this was originally a fan-oriented work, how did it spread all over the world? Let's take a look at some data of this animation creation:

First of all, the production process lasted six years, and the original painting had tens of thousands of backgrounds, more than 7,000 shots, 9 episodes, and one episode was 40 minutes. The manufacturing cost is as high as100000. Uniquely, in this animation, all the scenes are purely 2D hand-drawn, without modeling, that is, this is a 2D painting, and then through the use of this stylized 3D character rendering, this visual special effects experience can be achieved only in 4K movies.

At the premiere, someone directly defined this animation as "reaching the ceiling of current animation production". Basically, it can be concluded that it is the biggest work of fist entertainment in recent years.

Fist entertainment is quite sincere, and every frame is glistening silver. Can this production not be excellent? We can watch other cartoons, and sometimes when there are big scenes, we begin to feel distressed: funds are burning.

This animation is a visual feast even if you don't understand the setting of the hero's world view, which also lays the foundation for good works.

The animation company determines the production level and aesthetic taste of this animation work. The creative team of this animation work is Fortiche from France, a small studio, which was established on 12, but they cooperated with the fist game as early as 20 13. In recent years, they have also created many character animations, such as Jin Kesi, MV of kda, S of 20 18, etc.

Although there are some similarities between the Battle of Twin Cities and American modern superhero animation, such as Spider-Man in Marvel comics and other animated films, both of which are the mainstream 2D3D painting styles, the audience with artistic skills will see those shadows with European artistic illustration style in the Battle of Twin Cities.

Of course, it is hand-painted after all. First, there is no light pollution caused by CG modeling and rendering. Second, it can better control the primary and secondary structure of the picture to attract attention. It gives people the feeling of moving around in this pleasing illustration, which is very comfortable. At the same time, the brushwork of portrait is closer to realism. In terms of light, shadow and tone, it is not as free as American superhero animation, but pays more attention to the unity of tone and atmosphere.

3. Generation gap: role interaction

After six years of brewing, League of Legends gave birth to Battle of Two Cities, but it is not only a treasure created by exquisite craftsmanship and dedicated to guests, but also the initiator to realize the next great ambition of League of Legends. To some extent, Battle of the Twin Cities carries League of Legends across the rift between two generations of users, and makes every effort to prevent the world's largest MOBA game IP from falling into the gloomy trough of its life cycle.

Thanks to the careful shaping of the characters in the game by animation, the discussion about the protagonist-related topics in the film has been hot on the Internet. Among them, many players chose to graft their feelings for the characters into the game and staged an interactive version of the "Battle of the Twin Cities" in Summoner Canyon.

According to the statistics of lolalytics, a data website, since the story of "Battle of Two Cities" was launched, the appearance rate of the main characters in each segment has greatly increased-this is obviously unreasonable for the game ladder ecology that pursues the principle of the strong first in most cases.

It can be seen that, as a game derivative work created by the government in six years, the positive driving effect of Battle of Two Cities on the enthusiasm of game users is very amazing.

As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words, and the appearance of "Battle of Two Cities" makes the world story laid by League of Legends come alive for many years. In this era full of entertainment and convenient media, nothing can arouse the interest of young pop culture lovers more than animated series.

"I haven't played League of Legends. Can I understand the Twin Cities War? "

Is a common question on the internet, and the following answer is often yes. Indeed, the Twin Cities War does not intend to set limits on the audience from the design starting point. For old gamers, it is exciting to see those little people who used to move only with the mouse and keyboard, take turns to type fixed lines on the screen and make their favorite tricks. The twin cities war has also increased a lot of emotional conflicts. No matter how many background stories you have read about the land of runes before, watching these characters laugh, cry, hate and regret brings an intuitive implantation of character and the whole world environment to the audience's mind.

Conclusion:

No other company in the world dares to invest so much and is willing to spend so much time animating the game. League of Legends has learned that society has accompanied so many people, which seems to have its own reasons, that is, continuous innovation.

In The Battle of Two Cities, you can see struggle, cooperation, countless hatred and sincere and touching feelings. There are many details in the film, and the "League of Legends World" it depicts is worth exploring.

The Twin Cities War is both the end and the beginning. After such brilliant achievements, fist games will undoubtedly increase investment in this field, perhaps in the future. With the continuous enrichment of League of Legends animation series, it may become the next Marvel Comics. I'm looking forward to this.

Also in June 5438+065438+ 10, the CEO of Fist Game tweeted about the progress of the second season of Battle of Two Cities. The good news is that you don't have to wait for six years. The bad news is that 2022 will not come.

The tourist distribution center creates a treasure house-giving full play to the high-level Japanese high-speed service station. The entertainment at the Japanese airport last time opened our eyes. In this issue, the country full of imagination and good at the ultimate detail service, with its outstanding performance in the highway rest station, has once again opened up a new horizon for us. In Japan, expressway service areas (called サビスェリ in Japan) are divided into PA and SA. PA is the abbreviation of ParkingArea, which only provides toilet and parking services; SA is a service area, integrating selling shops and catering, which is more in line with our impression of the rest station. It is understood that except Hokkaido, there will be a service facility for people to rest and eat every 50 kilometers. Generally, there are huge infrastructures such as lounges, gas stations, parking lots, toilets, restaurants, canteens and vending machines with air conditioning. Chain stores and 24-hour stores such as McDonald's and Starbucks will also appear in SA. The setting of the information desk is also the embodiment of Japanese SA detail service. SA's land and landscape pay great attention to the integration with the environment, with the most complete functional facilities, such as changing diapers and breastfeeding for babies. In the service area, people can know all kinds of information they need in time, and they can also get beautiful traffic maps, traffic knowledge and safety publicity materials, tourism materials of surrounding scenic spots and so on for free. Among them, the small folding trash can made of recycled paper even has small picture puzzles to relieve boredom. There will also be places to walk dogs, children's activity areas and smoking areas in the service area. In recent years, Japan's expressway service area has shown a deeper evolution, which seems to get rid of the traditional concept of service area and integrate various facilities such as rest area, commercial facilities, children's amusement park, park hot spring facilities, archives and so on, resembling a commercial complex of metropolis. The service area, which was originally only used for taking a nap, is transforming into an entertainment and leisure place, and therefore it has won the love of more and more people. Especially after the privatization of Japan Road Company in 2005, road revenue has been paid more and more attention, and the service area began to provide diversified services to meet the needs of different customers. By the end of 20 15, not only SA, but also a number of distinctive PA entered the list, showing the development trend of a hundred flowers blooming. Japan's national ranking list of expressway service areas (as of 2065 438+05) 1, Fujikawa) SA (Dongming Expressway), Mount Fuji, night view 2, Kalia) PA (Ise Bay Coast Expressway), 60-meter-high ferris wheel, natural hot springs, luxury toilets with sofas 3.

Okinawa's only SA, the scenery from Ping 'an Island to Miyagijima and then to Yiji Island is unobstructed, New Year's Day sunrise scenic spot, free telescope Hanyu) PA Ghost River Mouth (Northeast Expressway), Edo style, street view and food in the Edo era, "Yorii" special merchandise counter, the Provencal style of the little prince PA in southern France, and the world shown by the little prince and his author Saint exuppery (Source:/) Let's take a look at Japan's comparison in recent years. Yuba 20 13 was rebuilt and opened in February. Among many PAs, the feather PA of "Ghost Pingjiang Huchu" stands out and attracts people's attention. It reproduces the world of the famous novel Pink Zhang Ke, and is also famous for its TV series. Its roof is designed to look like the sky, changing day and night every fifteen minutes. In addition to the street scenes and buildings in the Edo period, the restaurant in the novel and the local canteen with the characteristics of "wide alley between the two countries" (the famous downtown area in the Edo period) are also reproduced, including all kinds of traditional authentic Japanese snacks, which embody unique designs everywhere and make people feel immersive in vision and taste. Feather-born Ba Ghost in Lake Chu, Pingjiang (Photo courtesy: NEXCO East Japan) ★ Pavyo Autolane's architectural style is based on the theme scene of the little prince. Although its scale is not large, you can not only eat authentic French food here, but also taste the delicious food that appeared in Little Wang Zizhong. The illustrations in comics have a very high degree of scene restoration. When Halloween comes, the waiters there will also cosplay various roles and give wonderful performances. ★ As the "hometown of music" in Japan, Hamamatsu, the service area of the new Dongming Jiansong SA is currently well-known. Its design takes music as the theme, and besides the architectural appearance of piano and keyboard, it can be said that music is everywhere. Attentive audience can find that the tables and chairs in the room are like notes, turning into melodies, and details such as pillars are decorated with piano and keyboard elements, reminding people everywhere that Bangsong is the hometown of music and you are here. ★ The rest stop of Shangsa Dongming Expressway is characterized by its fence. There are 3D paintings on the inner and outer walls, which are full of childlike interest and entertaining, and are very popular with children. I think adults will stop to have a look. ★ Awaji SA In Japan, the expressway service area (called サビスェ in Japan) is divided into PA and SA. PA is the abbreviation of ParkingArea, which only provides toilet and parking services; SA is a service area, integrating selling shops and catering, which is more in line with our impression of the rest station. ★??ハィェィォ?シス)??スpa is also a rest stop like a large amusement park. It has a 60-meter-high Ferris wheel. Although it is not stimulated by Asa's seaside ferris wheel, it is already very luxurious for PA. In addition, there are hot springs, shopping places, merry-go-round, various small amusement projects, large children's paradise and children's adventure forest. It's a bit of a misnomer to say it's just a PA. ★ Numazu SA Xindongming Expressway in Suruga Bay This is a coastal rest station with Mediterranean architectural style. In addition to food stores, there are also daily goods stores and automobile goods stores. At first glance, it looks more like a resort hotel. ★ Otsu Shen Ming Expressway Otsu is the earliest high-speed service area in Japan. When it opened, it was a simple rest place with only a parking lot and a public toilet. Now it's like a shopping mall. The first and second floors are food and shopping floors, and the third floor is a pavilion, which is slower than Biwahu. The fireworks show in summer will attract local citizens to enjoy it. Here, we can feel that when the expressway service station is attached with theme style elements, just like a theme park, it is injected with new soul. It is no longer just a collection of facilities to meet the basic needs of past passengers, but allows passengers to enjoy ubiquitous surprises during their stay, and passengers are willing to pay for such scenes, which in itself is an improvement and cultural impression of the service station. And those service areas that combine their own location characteristics and introduce various recreational facilities and formats, although they are attached spaces of closed expressways, are built into harmonious places that can be integrated with the surrounding society and natural environment, closely related and barrier-free, and become micro-tourist destinations that can bring various experiences to tourists. ★ Fujiyama SA Dongming Expressway Fujikawa SA is the most popular Japanese highway rest stop, located at the foot of Mount Fuji, and its natural scenery is beyond the reach of other SA/PA. ★ The representative color of this rest stop is "green". You can catch beetles, grasshoppers and butterflies here, watch fireflies, fish and touch snails in Nana Ogawa. The ancient pagoda that can be seen from a distance is more symbolic. It is also to make full use of the scenery to enhance the overall attraction of the rest station. ★ Juyue Mountain is located in Juyue, Hokkaido, and has a very beautiful scenic line. The dog walking area mentioned above is in Juyuesa, where there is a special dog play park and the coffee shop also allows dogs to enter. According to a survey conducted in Japan on driving tourists, 49.7% people will visit those popular expressway service areas alone or during driving trips. And 5 1.8% of the respondents answered that they were interested in participating in the surrounding sightseeing projects based on the service area. The service area was originally just a "passing point" on the way to drive, but now it has gradually become a "destination" for many people to travel by car. In fact, Japan's expressway service areas advocate characteristic management, which will sell local native products and vegetables, and pay more and more attention to specialty stores and restaurants with rich local characteristics. Therefore, it is very common for Japanese to drive to the expressway service area to buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Going for a ride in the expressway service area has gradually become a normal micro-trip in local life, a protagonist in people's holiday life and a battleground for businesses.
