Twenty years of evolutionary history of “Beautiful Witch”.
“Resident Evil 4: Remake” recently released a new trailer. After seeing King Ada’s appearance, many players felt: “Auntie Wang’s image has changed again.”
Ada Wang in the trailer is wearing an outfit that has never been seen before, a red tight sweater, her face has also changed, and compared to the last appearance in “Resident Evil 2: Remake”, her face is more rounded. , The lips are also thicker, and there are more European and American features.
Indeed, if the image of “Li Sanguang” and other characters has not changed in the past works, this sexy and glamorous black-clothed red-haired agent has a different image in almost every generation of Resident Evil. But the lack of fixed image features has not weakened the charm of the character itself, but has increased her popularity among players.
It can be said that in addition to the excellent playability of the Resident Evil series, it is the stories of the classic characters that tie the players, and the story of King Ada is one of the focuses of the players.
When it comes to the constant change of King Ada’s image, I think this is also in line with her own consistent image characteristics, mysterious and glamorous. We can say that it is precisely because of this that Capcom can’t figure out what kind of image should be given to her, which has led to the constant revision of the image of the female agent.
According to Capcom’s official statement, Ada’s birthplace, real name, ancestry, and nationality may all be fake (I think gender can’t be fake). So the authenticity of the face, in fact, has yet to be confirmed. So can it be understood that this is an agent who is good at disguising, causing her appearance to change every time she appears due to the change of disguise? This is just my personal reasoning for the sake of reasonableness, not Capcom’s official statement.
Although the official only said that Ada is Asian, and did not explicitly admit that she is Chinese, but due to the influence of Mila’s movie, Li Bingbing’s image of King Ada is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so both the official and the players will acquiesce that she is Chinese.
When he first appeared in “Resident Evil 2”, Ada Wang’s sexy dress in a classic red sleeveless dress attracted enough attention.
However, due to the lack of technology at the time, King Ada’s expressionless 3D modeled face did not look very beautiful, at least compared with the image of the heroine Claire.
Ada Wang appeared again in “Resident Evil 4”. With the rendering of clear image technology at that time, Ada Wang’s beauty was greatly improved. I think it is this generation that makes Aunt Wang’s image deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This generation of King Ada’s high-slit cheongsam with a black collar is impressive. This is also the most classic image of Auntie Wang in many people’s hearts, so that in the subsequent Resident Evil movies, King Ada played by Li Bingbing also adopted this generation. image design as a template. Having said that, King Ada played by Li Bingbing is quite in line with my imagination of King Ada in my heart.
In the “Resident Evil 4” game, Ada’s face model is Caroline Ribeiro, she is also Ada’s motion capture actor in the 4th generation, and she is also a world-famous model.
In the subsequent “Umbrella Chronicles”, “Dark Chronicles” and “Operation Raccoon City”, the image of King Ada has not changed much. To be honest, in these films, because the face and nose of King Ada’s face are too high, the characteristics of European and American blood are more obvious, but the mystery of the oriental background that has been rendered all the time is lacking.
What is worth complaining is that although the red sleeveless dress is still classic, the agent’s clothes have not changed at all even after many years in the background of the story, and Capcom must have been too stingy with the cost of clothing design.
This trend of Europeanization of faces has continued into “Resident Evil 6”. “Resident Evil 6” is also the last appearance of King Ada in the progress of the game plot. In this work, King Ada’s image has undergone great changes. Change, the original red sleeveless dress was replaced by a deep V red jacket and black skinny pants.
Due to the progress of modeling technology, the image of this generation of King Ada is also quite amazing, but I personally feel that due to the more westernized face, the unique charm brought by King Ada’s original Asian identity is not so obvious. The image has lost some of its appeal. The facial model of the 6th generation Ada is said to be Ty
Brenneman, she’s a full-time model.
Originally, “Resident Evil 8” Capcom planned to make King Ada appear as a witch doctor, but unfortunately, this plan was cancelled later. Uneasy netizens naturally turned Resident Evil into a mod crisis. Some mods replaced the image of the lady with the classic red-clothed and black-haired image of King Ada. I really have to admire the imagination of some mod authors.
When it came to “Resident Evil 2: Remake”, in addition to restoring the classic red dress, Ada Wang also added a beige trench coat and an image of wearing sunglasses.
The Ada in this part can be said to be very beautiful, but the change in the game about Ada’s role has made a lot of players feel dissatisfied. The original relationship with Leon has been changed to be more of a relationship. Let this image pale a lot.
The face model of King Ada in “Resident Evil 2: Remake” is Adriana, who works for a modeling agency in Tokyo. It can be seen that this face is still very mixed.
In addition to the original series, the figure of King Ada also appeared in many derivative games and film and television works. These images are basically based on the image of the original series, and they also have their own characteristics. This of course also includes the movie “Resident Evil 5: Punishment” released in 2012, in which King Ada played by Li Bingbing is the image of the four-generation classic collar and red cheongsam, but Li Bingbing’s image can be said to be more than charming but not heroic enough , which brings some regrets in the case of a high degree of overall restoration.
In fact, in the same year that the movie was released, a CG animation of Resident Evil was released, and King Ada also appeared, but this movie is not well-known, and it is estimated that many people have not heard of it. Resident Evil: Curse. The face model in “Resident Evil: Curse” is Jolene
Andersen, the actor and model also served as the English voice actor for King Ada in Resident Evil 2: Remake.
Other works that King Ada has appeared in include a text adventure game released in 2015, and the image obviously follows the image in the 6th generation.
A card game released by Capcom in 2019 also included the role of King Ada, and the image of the bandage battle damage rarely appeared.
In addition, the image of King Ada of “Resident Evil Re:Verse”, which was bundled with “Resident Evil 3: Remake” at that time, directly used the image of “Resident Evil 2: Remake”.
It can be said that this mysterious female agent with an Asian face has been interspersed in the Resident Evil journey for more than 20 years, and her figure has always appeared in the key corners of the story. Without this charming character, I am afraid that the entire Resident Evil The series is going to lose a lot of color.
This mysterious and glamorous female agent with superb skills and elusiveness, her queen-style style, cold-hearted and cunning character image can always bring Resident Evil players a huge space for imagination. As the most classic generation of Resident Evil, and almost the generation with the most roles for King Ada, I hope she can shine with new brilliance and charm in the remake of “Resident Evil 4”.
