My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 114 Living Dead Cinematic Universe 【Subscribe! 】

This film and television base was specially built by Song Qi for "Resident Evil".

This was originally an old factory site, which was rented out by him for a period of 30 years.

He hired a construction team and spent a month transforming the only remaining factory building into a large studio.

"In the next half month, you will eat and live here."

Song Qi took the actors around for a tour, and then led them to the back door of the factory building, pointed to the rows of RVs outside the door and said: "There is your dormitory, men and women are separated, two people sleep in a RV , Going to the toilet is in the car, and we have professional chefs for three meals a day to provide you with meals. Now, you can distribute them yourself, and put your luggage in first."

Looking at the brand new RV, the actors were very excited.

Wang Qiang took the initiative to find Lu Le and suggested, "Let's share a car together!"

"Okay!"

Lu Le readily agreed, and carrying his backpack, he and Wang Qiang picked up a nearby RV and got into the car.

Looking at the perfect configuration in the car, Lu Le couldn't help but admire it.

When he was playing tricks in the store, he often saw celebrities driving their RVs to the side of the studio, and they would get in the car to rest when they were eating, but he had never gone up to see it.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Miracle Film and Television for an interview, he actually lived in an RV.

After putting down the luggage, Lu Le and Wang Qiang hurried back to the factory building, where Song Qi was waiting for them.

After counting people together, Song Qi brought all the interviewing actors to the meeting room scene.

"Today is the first day of training. What you need to do is to study."

The staff behind Song Qi turned on the projector and played a video.

"The living dead, as the name suggests, are supernatural creatures that are neither living nor dead. They are transformed from living people and still have the ability to move after death. Human flesh and blood have a strong attraction for them. Their teeth carry a deadly virus, and any person or animal bitten by them will become a creature like them..."

A video composed of text and animation was played on the projection screen, explaining the concept of the living dead in detail.

Song Qi stood at the door of the conference room, looked at the slightly bewildered actors, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this world, there is no universal concept of the living dead.

Although there are related legends everywhere, no common cognitive concept has been formed.

In the culture of the Principality of Europa, there are legends about vampires, but because of the widespread religious beliefs in the Principality of Europa, this evil legend has always been regarded as heresy, strictly controlled, and related images are not allowed to appear in film and television works.

In Daxia, the legend related to the living dead is the exorcism culture in the western part of Hunan Province, but it disappeared more than 100 years ago and became a legend.

The effect of film and television works on the spread of culture is very powerful.

In Song Qi's original world, everyone knows the zombie culture, and it is inseparable from the popularity of Hong Kong movies back then.

If it weren't for the hits of the zombie-themed movie with martial arts + zombie mode created by Sammo Hung and Lin Zhengying, perhaps zombies would not have become a well-known concept at all.

The formation of zombie culture is a powerful proof of film and television communication culture.

The market can be educated, and the audience can also be guided. There is no shortage of chefs who can cook crabs in the world, but what is lacking is the first person who dares to eat crabs.

Song Qi planned to be the first person in the world to eat crabs, and "Resident Evil" was a concept he threw out for the education market.

This is a universal concept, and it is also an IP with huge gold content, not even inferior to his Behemoth universe.

His goal is to build a film universe of the living dead and create a new genre of film - the film of the living dead.

But movies are only the first step in his plan. His ultimate goal is to rely on movies to develop related series of products, including online games, movies, offline escape rooms, live-action shooting stores, script killing stores, etc. , Construct a concept market with zombies and zombies as selling points.

But these tasks cannot be done by him alone, nor can they be completed overnight. He can only follow the plan step by step.

The first step he has to take is to spread the concept and cultivate the audience.

For some actors who don't understand what the concept of the living dead is, it is obviously an impossible task to perform the zombie-like living dead.

Therefore, Song Qi needs to train them first, at least let them understand what a zombie is, so that they can perform.

After the video was played, the actors looked at each other thoughtfully.

Song Qi returned to the front of the projection screen, looked around at everyone, and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand? You can raise your hand and ask."

A guy with a backpack raised his hand and asked, "Director, I want to ask, is the training we receive learning to perform the living dead mentioned in this video?"

"It's a zombie."

Someone beside him reminded him in a low voice.

"Well, zombies." The boy nodded.

"Yes."

Song Qi admitted it frankly.

The guy was a little disappointed: "Then if we make up into the bloody look in the video, who will recognize us?"

"Yes!"

There was a lot of agreement at the scene, which was also the biggest issue that the actors on the scene considered.

The actors who came to the audition all wanted to play important roles and become famous overnight.

But if they were made up to look like zombies in the video, they might not even recognize their parents. How could the audience remember them?
This kid is not stupid!

Song Qi glanced at the inch-cut guy appreciatively, and asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Le."

"Oh, Lu Le."

Song Qi repeated his name and asked, "Apart from being an actor, do you have any other career plans in your life?"

Lu Le hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just want to be an actor."

"it is good."

Song Qi continued to ask: "Do you think this "Resident Evil" will become popular after it is filmed?"

Lu Le was taken aback when he heard the words, then pondered for a moment, then nodded seriously: "I will!"

Although he didn't know much about this movie, but from the undead culture displayed in the video he saw just now, and the few words related to the movie, he could vaguely see that this was a brand new world.

Song Qi is a person who is very good at surprising the audience, and he is also a very ambitious director.

The giant beast universe he created is well known to all. The giant beasts in the movie have become the most popular movie elements at present, and have been imitated by countless followers.

Song Qi has already proved with his achievements that he is the person in the world who understands the film market and audience best.

But this time, Song Qi stopped the development of the giant beast universe, and instead invested in the development of such a movie related to the living dead. Lu Le never believed that he made a decision hastily.

From the huge studio of the film and television base and the detailed training materials, it can be seen that Song Qi has definitely been carefully prepared.

Considering Song Qi's previous achievements, Lu Le has every reason to believe that this movie will definitely achieve great results!
Hearing his answer, Song Qi nodded, smiled and asked again: "Since you know it will be popular, do you think I will only make one?"
