"Worrying".
As a "Witcher 3" player, when I first saw the news that Netflix was going to shoot "The Witcher/Witcher", I couldn't tell the excitement and anticipation.
In addition, "Super Super" Henry Cavill volunteered and even tried his best to get the role of Geralt. You must know that "Zach Snyder" Zack Snyder called and asked him to audition for Superman. Henry Cavill was because of playing "World of Warcraft", almost missed Zha Dao's call.
Henry Cavill, a fan of the game, did not use a stand-in throughout the filming process, including action scenes, 100% played Geralt. After filming "The Witcher", he also took all Geralt's costumes and props back to his home.
The game I like is going to be an episode, or the "Great Super", who is also a player of "World of Warcraft" and "The Witcher", plays the white wolf Geralt. No matter how you look at it, it breaks the dimensional wall.
Then came the casting news. I saw the cast of Yennefer and Triss.
First of all, the English name of "Witcher/Witcher" is "Witcher", which is a work. "The Witcher" was originally a famous Polish novel, which was later adapted into a game, and now it has been made into a TV series.
As a game work, "The Witcher 3" is definitely a value-for-money quality. Its production company, CDPR, has made the game with all its heart and soul, and is dedicated to the players. The name of "Polish Stupid Ass" is not for nothing.
With the popularity of Netflix's "The Witcher", not only has the sales of "The Witcher" novels soared, but the original author Andre has squeezed out the British writer JK Rowling to become the most popular writer. Four years after the release of The Witcher 3, the number of simultaneous online players exceeded 100,000. In the first week of 2020, "The Witcher 3" topped the Steam sales list, and "Red Dead Redemption 2" and "GTA5" ranked second and third respectively.
Then there is the quality of The Witcher episodes, which I personally think is worrying.
"The Witcher" has an amazing opening, a very restored and first-class soundtrack, and the enhanced version of the white wolf played by "Da Chao" also has the same deep voice in the game, clean action scenes, and even the story of the first episode. It's a bit of a game, knowing that "dilemmas" often appear in games.
Then the second episode made me want to swear.
The main reason for this is that the series is divided into three-line narratives of White Wolf, Ciri, and Yennefer, which is called "Stealing Teacher Nolan", and the three-line narrative is not well described.
Dachao's White Wolf Geralt must be easy to see the explosion, a frontal shape or a buttocks are perfect, Ciri's line is barely able to watch, reaching the level of ordinary American dramas that promote the plot with narration, Yen Nai's normal line is from the casting. The beginning is a disaster.
Some netizens said that Yennefer in the drama has its own curry flavor. Personally, it seems that it is far from the character in the game, but the drama is a drama after all, and Henry Cavill should be satisfied.
The rest of Triss or the Nilfgaardian warlocks were cast in words.
It can be seen that Netflix has a lot of ambition and investment in filming "The Witcher". It has a relatively restored set and shape, a multi-line, multi-space narration, and is adapted from the novel's script.
The highlight of the play is not only the white wolf Geralt, the princess in distress in the first episode, the lioness of Sintra, and the head sorceress are all impressive and full of temperament. However, except for the white wolf, the one who should be the main force has not been picked up. The multi-line narrative that should have made people feel restless. Fortunately, there are novels and games as reference. However, in the next two episodes, due to the fact that Yennefer has too many plots, I also fast forward.
Just a month before the first season of "The Witcher" started, Netflix renewed the second season ahead of schedule. Since the first season of "The Witcher" hit a new high in Netflix's ratings, the second season will also be released. Filming will start in the spring of 2020, and its producer stated through a blog that the second season of "The Witcher" will not continue the mistakes of the first season, and will be better, allowing the series to return to its normal path.
Best wishes.
