Chapter 343： Lots of highlights

The weekend before the president, "Resident Evil" will be fully released in North America.

Prior to this, Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment held a huge premiere for this film.

The premiere was held at the AMG Theater in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza. Not only did all the main creators of the crew arrive, but also a unique "biochemical opening show" was held.

Although the film was heavily adapted and the heroine Alice was originally created, the influence of the game has increased in the past two years. With the authorization of Capcom, Ronan will certainly not let go of those popular game characters. , Pull them all out and put them under the spotlight of the red carpet and reporters to increase the topic and appeal.

Before the film crew and guests walked on the red carpet, a series of game characters swaggered out.

King Ida, Jill Valentin, Lyon, Claire, Alpha Squad, Lickers, and ordinary zombies, etc., all appeared on the red carpet, which surprised and delighted the game fans in the audience.

But compared to movie fans, the on-site computer game fans belong to a minority group, and the most gathered here are fans of zombie movies.

Zombies in North America, although not comparable to the rising star "Star Wars", have also formed a culture.

There are quite a lot of people who like or are obsessed with zombie culture. Compared with the audience of computer games, these are also natural audiences for zombie movies.

The pre-screening publicity of the "Resident Evil" movie has two main points. One is to use the influence of the game to attract game fans, and the other is to promote the zombie audience like the "Zombie Survival Guide".

Embassy Pictures’ investment in the latter far exceeds that of the former.

Zombie movies appeared in Hollywood movies as early as the 1930s. It was George Romero who really made zombie movies glorious. His "Night of the Living Dead" kept zombies away from voodoo and became a monster with a new image. .

It is precisely because of the appearance of this film that zombies have become the new darling of modern horror movies.

Embassy Pictures did a detailed market research before formulating a publicity plan and found that the audience's interest in zombie films far exceeded game-based films.

After the demons and monsters of "Resident Evil" ended, the main creative staff of the crew went on the red carpet one after another. Ronan, as the producer, passed the red carpet behind the director Paul Anderson and the heroine Milla Jovovich.

When he came to the media area, Ronan also accepted an interview with reporters.

A reporter asked: "Mr. Anderson, if there is a zombie crisis around the world, where will you hide?"

Ronan smiled and replied: "If there is a real violent crisis in the world, I will choose to flee to the South Pole or the North Pole, feeling that the zombies will freeze to death there."

The high probability is that the zombies have not frozen to death, the living people will freeze to death.

A reporter from the game media asked: "Have you played the game of "Resident Evil"?"

"Of course I played!" Ronan lied without drafting: "I am a **** biochemical game fan. Basically, I have played every game carefully. When the Relativity Entertainment was established, I was first prepared to call it'Umbrera', but Later, I consulted a lawyer, knowing that this would violate Capcom’s copyright, and then gave up.”

"It is said that the heroine of original Alice was decided by you and director Paul Anderson together." A reporter asked loudly, "How do you rate the role of Alice?"

Ronan said very seriously: "Alice is really too brave, she is a model for women, the kind of strength and courage that burst out of her will inspire many people."

After answering this question, Ronan was about to leave the media area. He was quite satisfied with the answer to the last question and was very feminist.

Soon, Ronan came to the group photo area, and waited until the main creators of the crew gathered and stood in front of the huge Netflix background board to take a group photo together.

Netflix advertisements and logos can be seen everywhere at the premiere.

Netflix is ​​now in a critical period of development, Ronan will not miss every opportunity to promote Netflix.

After the group photo, when entering the gate of the crew, Park Yaka Chopra walked over and greeted him actively: "Hi, Ronan."

"Hello, Park Yaka." Ronan smiled and nodded to her.

Seeing the dress Payaka Chopra was wearing, Ronan's gaze stayed for a while. There were eye-catching cats on the dress, and artistic words such as attention to stray cats were written on it.

Payaka Chopra noticed Ronan's gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ronan glanced at the cat in the skirt again: "Your dress is very unique."

Payaka-Chopra is a smart woman. She immediately understood Ronan’s meaning and said in a low voice with a smile as she walked: "This is the idea of ​​the agent. He thinks that a public person who is enthusiastic about the environment or the protection of small animals is even more It is charming and can attract more people's attention."

Ronan nodded softly: "Your agent makes a lot of sense."

Seeing the cat in Puyaka Chopra's dress, Ronan couldn't help but think of a sentence from his previous life: The Skrews are afraid of cats, and the Cree people are afraid of awkward dances. Raising cats that only know how to dance can dominate the universe.

Entering the VIP room, Ronan went to greet the invited guests, and soon saw Tom Cruise.

"You've been very busy these days." Tom Cruise complained: "I always tell you to come out and play together and say there is no time."

Ronan told the truth: "I first went to East Asia, and went around financing in island countries and South Korea, and then rushed to San Francisco. I bought a new Internet company and there are many things to deal with."

Tom Cruise said: "I heard about an Internet video rental company called Netflix." He tentatively asked: "Is this industry promising? Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in the circle, and many people are saying you do it. A terrible business."

Ronan didn't care about the so-called rumors: "It is too early to say that success or failure is too early. After three or four years, the results are clear at a glance."

"What you do is sometimes difficult for me to understand." Tom Cruise shook his head: "If you need my help, just speak up."

Ronan is also welcome: "For those films you invested in, talk to Netflix about Internet licensing."

Tom Cruise didn't ask much, and said directly: "Let the people from Netflix contact my assistant directly."

The two of them talked about this level enough. As for the subsequent price and other issues, it is appropriate to let their respective responsible persons talk about it.

Ronan replied: "Yes."

Tom Cruise pointed to Ronan’s left hand: "Someone is waiting for you, so I won’t bother you. You’re back to Los Angeles and have time to play together. If you don’t hurry up to practice your skills, when will our game wait until? Can it be held?"

Ronan said, "I remember."

Tom Cruise slapped Ronan on the arm and turned to go elsewhere.

Ronan looked to the left, and Amanda Seyfried had walked over.

"Amanda, are you alone?" Ronan asked with a smile.

"My mother came with me." Amanda Seyfried pointed a short distance and said, "With my mother, I can stay here to watch this film."

Ronan said: "In fact, this film is not horrible, it is more like a science fiction film, but it's a pity that the MPAA is rated R."

Amanda Seyfried whispered: "Can't it be PG-13?"

Ronan shook his head: "There is no hope."

Relativity Entertainment does not have any right to speak in MPAA, it is an organization deeply influenced by the six major companies.

Amanda Seyfried added: "I often watch horror movies. The scale of "Resident Evil" is much smaller than most horror movies."

Ronan smiled, but asked, "Do you often watch horror movies? Aren't you afraid?"

Amanda Seyfried stared at Ronan closely: "Do you still think of me as a teenage girl?" She emphasized: "Ronan, I'm grown up! I will be seventeen years old soon. !"

Ronan remembered: "Yes, you were born in 1985, and you have grown up in a blink of an eye."

Amanda Seyfried is still less than 1.6 meters tall, but the figure is bumpy, and it really grows completely.

This girl can be classified into the ranks of the darling of the creator, not high, but the proportion is very good, the face is not good enough, and the devil-like figure.

Amanda Seyfried looked around and saw that there was no one around, she suddenly got closer and said in a low voice, "Ronan, am I beautiful?"

Ronan smiled and said, "Amanda has grown up and is already a beautiful big girl."

This doesn't seem to be the answer I wanted. Amanda Seyfried cast aside her lips with a slight dissatisfaction, and said, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to find my mother to enter the theater."

Before leaving, she turned her head and said to Ronan: "The filming of "Hurricane Rescue" is about to start. Can you spare time to watch my filming?"

Ronan nodded and responded, "I will call you before I go."

"Okay!" Amanda Seyfried left happily.

Ronan chatted with other people again, and when the time was about to go, he led the crew into the theater, and the screening started soon.

Frankly speaking, "Resident Evil" has many shortcomings, but also many bright spots.

The film structure is compact, the narrative is complete, there is no extra plot, and everything is centered on the main story.

The action design is also quite brilliant.

Compared to the sequels of the previous life and later, UU Reading www. There are not many action scenes in this movie on uukānshu.com, but every action scene is full of dynamic and unique style under the coordination of the director.

For example, Milla Jovovich played against a group of dogs, as well as many slow-motion close-ups of the bullet trajectory, very unique style.

Of course, the coolest shot is the leader of the tactical squad that is cut into pieces. This design is quite awesome and ingenious.

Another major feature of the action scene in this film is that the protagonist is a woman. Two beautiful women, Milla Jovovich and Piyaka Chopra, fought each other, which is quite interesting.

As a result, two beauties led two declining men to fight against zombies.

As for acting skills, this is not important for films like Resident Evil.

In any case, "Resident Evil" is far above the pass line of commercial movies, which is very rare for such movies that have nothing to do with small zombies.
