""resident Evil"!"

Today's Twitter trend list is number one, with more than 20 tweets!

The comment area exploded in popularity:
"The best horror movie in recent years. To be honest, when the zombie turned his head and smiled at me, I was really scared!"

"When Captain Wesker first appeared on the stage, I knew he was not simple. He looked like a villain at first glance, but this villain somehow made me like it, but unfortunately he died."

"There are easter eggs at the end of the movie. Wesker was shot and he was resurrected."

"Damn it, I'll turn it off after the movie is over, I didn't see this, so hurry up and watch it again!"

"Actually, based on the plot, we can guess that he is not dead yet. In the movie, all living people will turn into zombies after death. Parker and Wesker almost died together. Parker changed into Wesker but did not change, which shows that Wesker is not dead at all. not dead!"

"Am I the only one who likes the two female characters? Alice and Jill are so beautiful, and they both survived in the end!"

"One thing to say, when Alice was stabbed by the tentacles of T-002, I directly made up 1 notebooks."

"Such a heavy taste? But I like it."

"A Resident Evil, so many perverts exploded..."

………………

There is no doubt that the discussion of Resident Evil has reached a phenomenon level, second only to the recent release of "Lord of the Rings".

Even Netflix itself didn't expect that Resident Evil could become so popular.

Zombies, viruses, infections, monsters, evolution, there are too many fascinating elements. In addition, although there are few beauties in the movie, they are all eye-catching, and the action scenes are also extremely exciting.

The whole movie can be said to have no urine point, not only full of details, but also left enough suspense for the second movie.

The first one has just been released, and now there are already a lot of fans clamoring to see the second one.

On the other hand, extended discussions about "Resident Evil" began to spread all over the Internet, and related communities also appeared on NGA, and the popularity directly rushed to the top three.

And with the popularity of "Resident Evil", the real movie-watching tide finally hit.

Today, the number of active members of Netflix has reached the peak in half a year, and the number of new members in a single day has also broken the historical record, and the number of viewings of "Resident Evil" has exceeded 24 million in less than [-] hours Mark!
I have to say that online movies are indeed much better than theaters in terms of viewing costs.

It can be viewed at home, at work, or in the car, and it is also cheap.

As for the large screen and 3D exclusive to theaters, there are not many advantages for movies like "Resident Evil" with relatively few special effects.

Of course, the [-] million movie views cannot be compared with the [-] million moviegoers.

After all, you only need to pay once to watch it on Netflix, and there may be many people watching the movie together. However, the box office of "Resident Evil" has exceeded 3000 million US dollars, and the actual number of viewers has reached more than 600 million.

With the fermentation of word of mouth and subsequent publicity, this number will continue to expand.

The only pity is that Huaxia, which has the second largest box office in the world, will not provide too much income for this movie.

Because of the existence of the wall, people inside can't get out, and people outside can't get in. There are very few people who are willing to go over the wall and pay to watch movies.

Even if there are, it is estimated that most of them are domestic pirated websites.

Although Netflix has set "Resident Evil" to be unavailable for download, and also restricted the screen recording function of the device during playback, but as long as you want to steal, there is always a way, nothing more than the picture quality is lower than the genuine one.

Before the movie was released, a large number of people in China clamored to give Luo Quan movie tickets, looking for ways to watch movies.

After the broadcast, similar voices have been much less, and the raw meat resources of "Resident Evil" are also spread on post bars, official accounts and other places.

Seeing this, Luo Quan felt helpless.

There is no way around it. Fans will definitely be able to afford 30 yuan. If it can be screened in China, the box office will probably not be less.

But the policy is like this. We can only expect Netflix to contact domestic websites to see if they can sell the broadcasting rights.

However, in order to broadcast it domestically, many plots in the movie have to be deleted. Bloody violence is a major highlight of "Resident Evil", and I don't know how much will be left after the deletion.

That's the only bad thing. Generally speaking, the release of this movie can be said to be a success.

That night, Luo Quan, his brother and Seifert had a big dinner at the villa to celebrate the success of the movie.

"I knew you would succeed. I wouldn't watch this Oscar without you." Seifert drank the red wine in the glass and said to Luo Quan half-jokingly.

"An Oscar for a commercial film? Don't be kidding, it's a success if it earns [-] million dollars." Luo Quan is not greedy, and estimates the revenue of "Resident Evil" at a not very high value.

The three of them each invested 1000 million in this movie. Although Seifert said that if he made a profit, he could just pay back the 1000 million, but Luo Quan was not a person who is ungrateful for profit, and insisted that the three of them should share the proceeds equally.

If there is really a box office of 3000 million in the end, she and Netflix will split it in half, and they will get [-] million, and the three will divide it again, each of which will be more than [-] million.

It doesn't sound like a lot.

But Luo Quan thought about it again, in the current movie market, isn't [-] million dollars the box office of a bad movie?

With the current word-of-mouth and popularity of "Resident Evil", even if the online ticket price is not as good as offline, it is not unsure that the box office will reach 5 million!
"It doesn't matter how much money you make this time. The important thing is to make a name for yourself. After the next movie is finished, the people looking for you probably won't be like this this time. At that time, it will be the time when your box office really sells!" Fuerte blessed Luo Quan.

"Then take advantage of your auspicious words." Luo Quan raised the juice in the glass and drank it down with a smile.

Although Luo Quan himself regards this movie as his famous work and a stepping stone to enter Hollywood, he didn't think about earning too much money.

But "Resident Evil" itself obviously doesn't think so.

Although it can't charge as high a fee as theaters, Netflix's channels are also all over the world.

North America is only the region where "Resident Evil" became popular first, and Japan, South Korea, Europe, and South America soon became popular.

This movie, like the T virus, has an unparalleled speed of transmission, and once people stick to it, they will become fanatical and unable to stop like zombies.

The first thing to show the popularity is that on short video platforms such as TIKTOK and Youtube, countless short videos related to zombies have been added overnight.

People put on bloody zombie makeup one after another, and shot a series of Resident Evil short films according to their own ideas.

And the word "T virus" has also been popular in major newspapers many times.

Many people claimed on the forum that they had encountered a zombie incident, and posted photos to prove it.

And some even took out some plausible images from more than ten years ago, dubbed them Biohazard, claiming that the zombie virus once broke out in a certain area for a short time, trying to use conspiracy theories to win the attention of the public.

Although most of the rumors were just Tu Yile, they were quickly exposed.

But there are also videos that are difficult to distinguish between true and false. In addition, the movie Resident Evil is really too scary. With the rumors spreading, it actually caused panic among the people.

In some small countries in Europe, there have been a large number of incidents of reporting to the police that they have encountered zombies.

In fact, they are just pedestrians passing by these people when walking at night.

However, after watching Resident Evil, they were really too weak. When they caught a glimpse of a figure from a distance, they associated it with the zombie in the movie. Out of fear, they immediately chose to call the police.

The final result is naturally ridiculous, adding countless jokes to netizens in other countries.

But on the other hand, it also brought unimaginable enthusiasm to the movie.

People are buying movies on Netflix to see what kind of movie it is that can cause so much panic.

And after these people read it, there is another poor person in this world.

What is it that makes this movie so scary?And what is the reason that makes it so popular.

Many netizens have expressed the same question about this.

Finally, a veteran horror film director gave the answer on Twitter:

"The reason why zombies can scare so many people is mainly due to the uncanny valley effect.

To put it simply, it is a thing that is not human. The more human-like its features are, the easier it is to cause terror to humans.

For example (not recommended for book lovers to search) Smiley Alaska, dolls and other things may not make much sense at first glance, but when you look closely, they will become more and more creepy.

This is the uncanny valley effect.

The zombies in Resident Evil took advantage of this, because this monster was completely transformed from a human, and it was basically the same as a human being except for its bloody face and staggering steps.

What's more terrible is that before being bitten, zombies are every ordinary person around us.

The reason is that the filming of "Resident Evil" directed by Luo Quan is really good.

She keenly grasped the point that the public feared, and created the classic monster image of zombies.

In this regard, she is a genius.

Like all movie fans, I am looking forward to her second movie! "

This analysis clearly expresses the aspirations of the majority of movie fans, and it has also been quoted by major media to analyze why Resident Evil is so popular.

And Luo Quan, who predicted that the movie would become popular, registered a large number of patents related to it a long time ago.

Including the name of Resident Evil, the rank of T virus, the image of zombies, and the image of the main actors in the movie.

These will be an important part of the zombie universe and a living IP in the future.

After the Resident Evil universe is established and becomes popular, no matter who wants to use it in the future, she will have to pay her copyright fees.

In fact, someone has already come to her to buy this IP.

It is mainly some horror house chain stores in the United States, who have taken a fancy to the horror image of zombies, and want to buy the right to use it, and the asking price is as high as 3000 million US dollars!

This is Luoquan's first income from using IP, and there will be more and more in the future.

In addition, some film companies have also contacted her, wanting to obtain authorization to shoot this type of film.

Because whether it is a zombie virus or a zombie, this concept was first created by Luo Quan, and other people who want to shoot can only look at Luo Quan's face.

Now that the market is so hot, everyone must want to get a piece of it.

And Luo Quan was also generous, posting directly on Twitter:

"Resident Evil is just a form of zombie movie, if you want to make a similar movie in the future, just give $1 to show it.

I welcome all original new editions or extensions, but copycats and plagiarism are not allowed. "

Making such a choice was not because Luo Quan wanted to earn money.

Holding IP can indeed make a lot of money lying down, but it is not good for this type of movie.

What Luo Quan wants is to make zombie movies a major category of thrillers, or in other words, become a real mainstream.

If one day zombie movies can really occupy the world market, then "Resident Evil", as the originator of this genre, its status and value are self-evident.

However, this can only be accomplished through the hard work of other directors and screenwriters. After all, a single flower is not spring, and a hundred flowers bloom together to make the garden full of spring.

Of course, for now, it's hard to say whether these can be realized.

"Resident Evil" is on fire. As for whether follow-up works can reach its level and continue to contribute to this genre, it is unknown.

In short, Luoquan's zombie universe plan has already set a blueprint. In addition to the script, she has also signed long-term cooperation contracts with several main actors.

Moreover, not only movies, but also TV dramas are one of the fields she wants to enter.

The same zombie film and television work, "The Walking Dead" is also a classic among the classics. With a little change, it can be connected with the world of "Resident Evil".

When the movies and TV shows become popular, and then there is a linkage, the effect will not explode? !

Thinking of this, Luo Quan couldn't help drooling excitedly.

After "Resident Evil" sold out at the box office, Luo Quan packed his luggage and returned to Shanghai.

This time the task can basically be regarded as more than half completed. Now the global box office has reached 8000 million US dollars, and the goal of one billion yuan is not far away, which is just a matter of a few days.

After two months of busy work, Luo Quan has been in a state of high concentration.

Making a movie is indeed colder than singing. If given a choice, she would rather record three albums than make a movie.

Now the winter vacation has just begun, and now the work is basically over, and other artists in the company have their own careers, so she can finally stay at home and enjoy the vacation.
