Chapter 10 Ionia! Stay high-spirited!
Zhang Yimou's words caused everyone to think deeply.

Especially the judges next to him.

so far,
It can be said that the character of Irelia,
The shaping was very successful.

It also fits the theme of the competition very well!

The film successfully created a character that everyone loves and respects.
The role of a traditional hero!
Describe it simply in one sentence:

That’s the extent to which everyone can give this film a perfect score!
but!

Not only Zhang Yimou noticed it,
Even ordinary viewers who don't know the business and are not professional,
It can also be vaguely perceived.

Such a huge worldview structure,
Such a detailed description of the characters.
Could it be!

Is it just to create the image of a traditional hero?
Xu Er brought so many surprises to the audience!
therefore,

They want to be in the film.
See more surprises!
……

This victory is also known as Navoli's Stand!
Irelia not only led the resistance,
Defeated the Noxian general!

They also rescued their compatriots who had been captured before!

These troops became one.

With one move,
Take the Presidium back from the Noxians!

The victory of this battle,

Spread across Ionia!
All Ionians know Irelia's name!
The morale of the resistance forces across Ionia has been greatly boosted!
They all regarded Irelia as the leader of the resistance!

Gathered together by Irelia's side,

Let's fight back against the Noxian invaders!
……

This is what the young Irelia said about this.

“I never wanted to be a leader.”

"I fought and they followed."

More and more forces are gathering around Irelia!

And she lived up to expectations.
Lead the growing resistance army to fight bloody battles!

……

As the film progresses,

The audience also learned more about the continent of Ionia.

It turned out to be just as everyone had guessed before.

In Ionia,
It's not just Irelia.

Possessing extraordinary powers.

Among the resistance forces from all over Ionia,
They saw the sword master wearing a strange mask,

With the unparalleled swordsmanship brought by the Wuji Dao, he can fight against an entire army alone.

They saw a strange woman with twin Ionian dragons floating behind her.

Floating in the air,
Just one strike destroyed a Noxian fleet!
They also saw a dark figure whose face could not be seen clearly.
Like a shadow, he attacked and killed the officers of Noxus.
Turn them into pieces with the cruel Shadow Killing Array!

……

These battles are fleeting,

full of imagination,
It seems that everyone has a powerful force no less than Irelia.

But the more I watched,
The audience has more questions in their minds!

"Why did they choose this little girl as their leader?"

"And why is it that Irelia is supported by the Ionians?"

In the hearts of the audience,

I can't help but think of Zhang Yimou's evaluation just now.

"So many heroes with extraordinary powers."

"Why did this director choose Irelia to be the protagonist of the film?"

This question arises in every audience member's mind.

All the audience,

With all these questions,

Keep reading.

……

However, the film's questions about them,

No answer was given.

Or,

The answer is in the video!

……

In the three years after "Navoli's Rise".

Irelia has been leading the resistance in bloody battles!

The enemy's weapons,
It will also leave scars on her body.

But Irelia said: "Their weapons are strong, but our will is stronger."

In the battle against Noxus,

The rebels occasionally suffered defeat.
At this moment,
Irelia will dance the traditional silk dance of her hometown.
To boost morale.

"I once danced only for myself. Now, I dedicate this dance to the land where I was born."

In battle,
The leader of the Ionian resistance
He will bring his own blade,
Charge at the front!

"If we are not strong, we will perish!"

"Either return victorious! Or become a scar on the enemy's body!"

"We are the children of the firstborn land! We will never be slaves!"

"Mourn for the dead and fight for the living!"

"Under our feet are the corpses of our martyrs. Don't let them down!"

These passionate words,

All the audience inside and outside the venue,

Were all moved to tears!

Wang Tiantian took out a handkerchief from her pocket.
Keep wiping the corners of your eyes.

Looking at his resolute face,

Irelia leads the rebels towards the Noxian army!

Everyone agrees,
Thinking of that quiet afternoon,
Under the guidance of my kind grandmother,
A little girl dancing with the wind and leaves.

Irelia in her life,

Suffered hardships.

But he did not succumb to suffering!

But with her unyielding will,
With the brave Ionians rallied around her,
Let’s drive the invaders out of our homeland together!

……

As the images on the big screen changed,
The music on the stage became more and more exciting!
The war between Ionia and Noxus,

It’s also the final stage!
Faced with the increasingly fierce resistance of the Ionians,

The Noxians retreated to the shore where they landed in Ionia!

it's here,
Noxus has assembled the last of their forces!

The final battle with the Ionian resistance begins!

The general of this Noxian army,

That's the Admiral Dukor who once killed Irelia's family!
……

Right now,

Every audience knows that
This is the final battle of the film!

This battle,
It's not just the final battle between Ionia and Noxus!

It is also the decisive battle between Irelia and Dukor!
this battle,

It's not just Irelia's battle of revenge against her enemies!
And all Ionians,

Revenge on Noxus!

……

The passionate music suddenly sounded!

On the big screen,

Irelia stood on the platform.

Floating behind her is a blade made of her family crest!
And looking into the distance,
It is Ionia, the land where she was born and raised!

In front of her are the brave Ionian warriors gathered around her!
And at the farthest point of vision,

There are countless Noxian soldiers in armor!
Irelia passed through the Ionian warriors.

Came to the front of the team!

And at the forefront of the Noxian army,

The general standing
Her enemy.

Noxian Admiral Dukor!
……

"Bang bang bang!"

The music drums on the stage suddenly sounded.

The music has also reached its most intense point!

The blade behind Irelia dances in the wind.
With her graceful figure, she rushed towards the Noxian position!
And charging together with Irelia!

And those brave Ionian warriors behind her!

"Ionia!"
