tribe.
Lingkong is communicating with the head of a cinema chain.
Today isn't just the day that Resident Evil premieres.
Today is also the day when the new Tribe movie "The Blade Girl" premieres.
The director of the theater chain smiled and said on the phone: "Congratulations to Master Ling for making a good movie for Blue Star. The first batch of audiences gave "Blade Girl" very good reviews, and the movie attendance rate is also very good. If nothing unexpected happens, the box office should be very gratifying, and there is even hope that it will break the box office record of movies with heroines!"
"Thanks."
Ling Kong suppressed his inner excitement and said, "I'll have to trouble you to help me with the subsequent film scheduling."
“It’s natural.”
Lingkong asked again: "Brother, do you know the situation of "Resident Evil"? "
The other party smiled and said, "There are so many movies on Blue Star, and there is competition between theaters. Our theater is more optimistic about Tribe, so we did not introduce Xianyu's "Resident Evil" this time. However, that movie also premiered today, and the situation should be reported back soon."
"clear."
After hanging up the phone, Lingkong smiled.
The cinema said that the premiere of "Blade Girl" was very good, which gave him great confidence in defeating Xianyu this time.
Sudden.
The assistant's panicked voice came from outside: "Minister Ling is in trouble, it's bad!"
Ling Kong's face darkened: "You are the one in trouble, your whole family is in trouble!"
The assistant came in breathlessly: "Minister Ling, listen to me, the two film critics we found before changed their minds and suddenly refused to help us write a film review to criticize "Resident Evil"!"
"Change of mind?"
Ling Kong frowned: "If you want to change your mind, just change it. It's not a big problem."
The assistant said with a sad face: "The problem is not that they changed their minds, the problem is that after they changed their minds, they publicly praised "Resident Evil"!"
"What?"
Lingkong's cheeks suddenly twitched, and that uneasy feeling came back to his heart.
…
The assistant was right.
After watching "Resident Evil", Tu Zheng and Jia Haoren not only did not criticize the movie, but instead sang praises for it!
"Sensory shock, subverting imagination, Xianyu always finds the most unexpected entry point. "Resident Evil" is a movie that is destined to make you panic and afraid, but can't stop watching. Perhaps in the future of the film industry, zombies and even zombies will become two separate concepts to be discussed..."
Jia Haoren mentioned the difference between zombies and undead.
Tu Zheng's comment was longer, also from a global perspective:
"Why did Xianyu's "Resident Evil" bring a brand new science fiction perspective? Before entering the cinema, I think no one would have thought that Xianyu's film would have such a strong science fiction element. Everyone was blinded by the gimmick of zombies.
It seems that Xianyu’s movies can always give you unexpected surprises.
The whole movie is full of suspense, constantly making you curious and giving you surprises.
Who is the heroine? What is the secret of these amnesiacs? Where do zombies come from? Who will become a zombie? Who will survive? Why does the artificial intelligence Red Queen want to kill people? How to deal with the last licker
With one question after another, we became prisoners of envy.
Like all the viewers, I sat in front of the screen willingly, waiting for the answer to be revealed.
And when all the mysteries are solved and we think we understand everything, the ending of the movie suddenly takes a turn.
Alice escaped from that damn lab.
She held the gun defensively, the bullets were already loaded, but:
She was the only one left on the deserted street, and everything was in a mess.
Along with the news reports about the living dead wreaking havoc in the city, this scene shocked me more than the laser corridor representing death and the surging hordes of zombies!
New questions arise.
In the fast, grand and exciting music, suspense and passion are surging in an instant, and you can't stop listening to it! "
…
Tu Zheng's film review involves slight spoilers, but not to the extent that it affects the viewing experience.
As a well-known and influential film critic, Tu Zheng's film reviews naturally attracted a large number of messages from the audience!
"Couldn't agree more!"
“This movie completely subverts your imagination!”
“It’s so beautiful!”
"The ending is really shocking. I even think that it is one of the most unstoppable endings in all commercial films. If the second part is released now, I will definitely buy a ticket without hesitation!"
“I gasped the whole time!”
"I thought the Red Queen was a villain, but in the end I discovered that her purpose was to protect humanity!"
“The Red Queen’s reversal is truly a classic, and Alice’s sudden explosion is also very cool. The movements are sharp and handsome, and the charm of the heroine movie is brought to the fullest!”
certainly.
There are also many netizens in the comment section who have not watched this movie yet.
They were suddenly aroused by the comments of the first audience and film critics.
“Is it really that beautiful?”
“It sounds like it’s going to be exciting!”
"I've seen many people say that zombies and zombies are two different concepts. What does that mean?"
“This movie actually involves artificial intelligence?”
"Red Queen, Alice, isn't this the character from Chu Kuang's Alice in Wonderland?"
"No, you have to buy a ticket and go see it!"
"Yeah, I'm also itching to watch it tonight!"
"What's the show?"
"I can't explain it to you. You'll know when you see it. If it doesn't look good, you can slap me!"
…
Swish, swish, swish!
The movie critic effect!
Audience word-of-mouth effect!
The combined power of the two immediately attracted a huge number of viewers to "Resident Evil"!

Everyone also took time to watch movies.
Suddenly.
Everyone is tagging Xia Fan!
Jiang Kui: "This movie is so well acted, Xia Fan, you are going to be famous. When I saw you appear in the bathtub, I wanted to lick the screen!"
Sun Yaohuo: "Want to be angry? (Sunglasses) Who is calling me?"
Wei Haoyun: "It made me feel creepy. It was my first time watching a horror movie, but I could barely stand it. Xia Fan is so handsome. I love you, sister!"
Zhao Yingge: "Well, I have to admit that Xia Fan's figure is about the same as mine. She's really good."
Chen Zhiyu: "Such a figure, wow, I never really paid attention to it. It's hard to believe that it's not popular. The movie is so wonderful. Teacher Xianyu is always a god!"
at last.
Xia Fan himself appeared in the group: "Bah, you LSPS, please pay attention to your manners!"
…
What the group said is correct.
In the next few days, Xia Fan became indeed popular, and "Resident Evil" also became popular!

Discussions about this movie are everywhere!
The box office of "Resident Evil" has also been rising steadily amid heated discussions!
"Blade Girl", a movie of the same type, was severely suppressed in front of this terrifying opponent!
A week later.
The box office of the movie "Resident Evil" has accumulated to about 1 billion!
This is the craziest weekly box office of all Xianyu’s movies, and there are many reasons for it.
First, as the continents merge, the audience size is growing and the market is getting bigger.
Second, as people get to know each other better through cultural exchanges, the tastes of audiences from different continents are becoming more and more similar.
Third, the zombie setting in "Resident Evil" is the first of its kind on Blue Planet. There has never been a movie of the same type before.
Fourth, Blue Star does not attach much importance to movies with female protagonists, so there has never been a movie with female protagonists that can magnify the charm of the heroine to the level of Alice.
Fifth, the film investment was huge…
Therefore, "Resident Evil", which did not have such a high box office on Earth, created a very amazing result on Blue Planet!
It was so shocking that even Lin Yuan was shocked.
In fact, the main reason is the increase in the number of viewers, and other reasons are secondary.
This made Lin Yuan suddenly realize that once the entire Blue Star was merged, perhaps the box office in the film market would go completely crazy!
Because it's not just Resident Evil.
The average box office of Blue Star's other films is also increasing year by year.
Each continent has its own tactics, which will no longer work in the future. The lack of a cultural wall means that the merged continent will lose its local market protection mechanism.
Some movies are popular in all continents!
Of course, as this situation occurs, the cost of film and television investment will definitely become higher and higher in the future. Compared with Blue Planet, the laws of the film market on Earth have completely lost their reference value.
…
The same feeling has emerged in the industry.
"With the wave of mergers, the film and television market is going to change."
"The box office of these movies is becoming increasingly incomprehensible now."
"Because the merger has brought the tastes of different continents closer together, different movies were popular in different continents before because people had different tastes. When these differences gradually disappear, the movies people choose to watch will become more and more consistent."
“Once Zhongzhou joins the merger, a qualitative change will occur.”
"There has been a qualitative change. Previously, it was not easy for a movie to break the 1 billion box office in a week. But now, including Resident Evil, there are already four movies that have broken the 1 billion box office in a week this year."
"Maybe Xianyu's movie can make it into the top ten box office of the year."
"This movie is really a bit crazy. Now there are quite a few companies considering writing zombie-themed movies."
Yes.
Although Lin Yuan’s previous movies were also very popular, Blue Star is really too big and can accommodate many popular movies in the same period.
therefore.
None of his previous films have made it into the top ten of Blue Star’s annual box office.
However, this "Resident Evil" has shown some signs of this.
Because this movie performed very well, the subsequent screening schedules in various continents will definitely increase!
The more screenings there are, the more audiences there will be. This is natural. After all, the reputation of the movie is there, and commercial films never lack an audience base.
Having said that.
In fact, a similar situation has occurred in China.
Before Xu Zheng's "Lost in Thailand", the box office of Chinese films was generally not high.
After that movie, the film market suddenly went crazy and the box office ceiling was broken again and again.
It’s not that the quality of movies has improved.
It’s simply that the film and television market has grown.
Blue Star has the premise of the merger of various continents, so the explosion of this film market seems more traceable.
Some people may wonder:
Why is the box office of "Resident Evil" higher than all of Xianyu's previous movies
Are Xianyu’s previous movies not good enough to compete
Of course not.
If Spider-Man was released now, the box office would not be what it was then.
It’s just like Stephen Chow’s “Kung Fu”.
Under the market environment at that time, the box office of "Kung Fu" was only a few hundred million.
He later had a box office hit "The Mermaid".
This movie is definitely not as good as "Kung Fu", but its box office is many times that of the former.
in addition.
The highest-grossing film in China, "Wolf Warrior 2", grossed less than 6 billion yuan, not even making it into the top 50 in the global box office rankings.
And in the market environment of Bluestar.
With the market consolidation, no language barriers and no cultural differences between continents, six billion will be an easily achievable goal for the top film and television companies.
This moment.
Lin Yuan has higher expectations for movies, and perhaps he should set a small goal for the future.
for example…
Make a movie that breaks 10 billion at the box office
