Christmas is approaching, and the promotion of films released during this time, such as "Resident Evil", is becoming more and more powerful.

To some extent, this film by Oriental DreamWorks is the first commercial blockbuster with a female protagonist in China.

This type of movie is also not very common in Hollywood.

Is there a heroine movie in China? "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" can only be said to be barely so.

After all, the actor C of these two movies is not the female protagonist, but the male protagonist.

It's just that the heroine is more brilliant.

What's more, both films are just low-budget romance films.

But "Resident Evil" is different.

With an investment of nearly 200 million, this film is also a blockbuster in China, and the commercial elements are even stronger. Moreover, Guo Yunxi occupies the absolute C position, and even the ranking of the second best female Han Xiaotong is ahead of the "male lead" Yuan Bin.

This is a standard commercial film for the heroine.

Is there "machismo" in the domestic film and television industry?

I'm afraid it's still a little.

Perhaps, this is the case in the global film and television industry.

There are definitely a lot more male lead movies than female lead movies.

In terms of box office appeal, there is no doubt that the actor is much stronger.

This may also be one of the reasons why "Resident Evil" is not so optimistic about the market.

A "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is not enough to prove that Guo Yunxi can support the box office of a film.

After all, the male protagonist of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is traffic star Ye Fan.

As for the other actors?

Han Xiaotong still holds the title of "box office poison".

Of course, it is not so optimistic, and it is only relative to other films written by Zhang Pu.

Although this film is not the highest in the same schedule, it is not much different.

However, this is the first film in China in which an actress takes the lead in the real sense, and the attention to this film inside and outside the circle is still very high.

"Resident Evil" is scheduled to be released on December 23.

At the same time, there is also a joint venture blockbuster, and this film is the one that is most optimistic about the market, and the film is the highest.

And this film was released simultaneously around the world.

"Light and Shadow Entertainment and Warner's joint venture film, looking for a chance to watch it together?" Jiang Xingwen said to Zhang Pu with a smile.

The success of Oriental DreamWorks and Universal Pictures' cooperation on "Jumanji" and "The Shawshank Redemption" has undoubtedly completely opened the door to cooperation between domestic film and television companies and Hollywood film and television companies.

Light and Shadow Entertainment and Warner's film is just the beginning.

Other domestic film and television companies, such as Orange Entertainment, have also cooperated with Hollywood film and television companies.

With the development of the Chinese film market, Hollywood film and television companies naturally pay more and more attention.

Cooperation, but each takes what he needs.

"You said that "The Brave"?" Zhang Pu pouted, "I'm really interested." Judging from the content revealed in its publicity, if you are not careful, I am afraid it will be a nondescript film. ”

Feelings: What are your interest in this film?

"Don't you like this film?" Jiang Xingwen's eyes lit up and he asked.

If this film flutters, then the most beneficial is undoubtedly "Resident Evil".

"I just don't think it's a good story. Zhang Pu said, "Chinese and Western are a combination of Chinese and Western, and they also have a fantasy color." The collision of Eastern and Western cultures may not be a spark, but a direct collision and sinking. ”

The story and setting of this film reminded Zhang Pu of a big bad movie "Warrior's Gate" in his previous life.

The word of mouth is not mentioned, and the box office is even more miserable.

Of course, Zhang Pu doesn't think that "The Brave" is also so bad, at least judging from the trailer, the scene is bigger and the vision is more amazing. As for the content, it's hard to say.

But the scene is big, the vision is shocking enough, and domestic fans are just like this.

This kind of film that combines the fantasy colors of the East and the West is really difficult to make, and it tests the director's ability and understanding of Eastern and Western cultures.

The director of "The Brave" is a Hollywood director.

Zhang Pu didn't think he knew much about Chinese culture.

Think about "The Mummy 3" and "Mulan" in the previous life.

"As soon as you say that, I immediately feel that the character image and costume design in it are a bit nondescript and unconventional. Jiang Xingwen said.

"If you want to please fans in the East and the West, maybe the result is that neither side is pleased. Zhang Pu shook his head and said.

"Then why didn't this kind of problem occur in "Jumanji"?" Jiang Xingwen asked.

The first part of the film is directed by Zhang Ke, while the second part is directed by a Hollywood director. But the taste of the two films has not changed, but the directorial techniques are different.

"Jumanji is set in the background of the game, and the characters in it are also game characters. Zhang Pu said, "Naturally, there is no rationality of the plot after the conflict between Eastern and Western cultures." ”

"The background of the film "The Brave" is a fantasy background, so the impact should not be too big, right?" Jiang Xingwen said.

"It's up to the director how to shoot it. Zhang Pu said, "If the Chinese characters are performing Western magic or something, what do you think will happen to domestic fans?"

I'm afraid that the director of this film is ignorant of Chinese culture.

I don't understand Huaxia magic powers, you have an adventure!

Could it be that with the participation of Chinese people, the film will have Chinese culture? In this way, it may arouse the disgust of domestic fans!

"When you say that, I can't wait. Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

"After the premiere of "Resident Evil", just take the time to watch it. Zhang Pu said.

The premiere of "Resident Evil" still attracted many media reporters, as well as film critics and filmmakers. The directors and actors under Oriental DreamWorks basically choose to come to the show as long as they are free.

Not to mention that this film is written by Zhang Pu, even if it is not, Jiang Bin alone is worthy of their support.

Everyone can see how much potential Jiang Bin has.

This is a director who holds two major series, and it is natural to have a good relationship with him, which is naturally of infinite use.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" Jiang Yun said to Zhang Pu with a smile.

Zhang Pu had already seen the film beforehand. It's really possible that he didn't come to the premiere because he didn't come.

"Haven't Jiahui seen it yet?" Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Jiang Yun also smiled, glanced at Xu Jiahui beside Zhang Pu, and then said: "I'm going to get married next year, where are I going to have a wedding?

Jiang Yun knew very well that Zhang Pu and the two came to participate in the premiere, more to support Jiang Bin.

"It's probably going to be in Yanjing!" Zhang Pu said, "Where it is, you have to discuss it to be determined." ”

Jiang Yun nodded, and then looked at Jiang Bin.

Zhang Pu is getting married, and his son seems to be a single dog!

No, you have to rush.

Jiang Bin seemed to have a feeling, and then turned his head to look over, but was glared at by Jiang Yun, and then looked puzzled.

Did you provoke the old man somewhere?

The movie starts soon.

"Resident Evil" is a story of the future, and the scenes in it are full of imagination.

Ambrera has become the world's largest for-profit organization and has reached out to all corners of the economy, politics. On the surface, it is a leading supplier of computer technology and health care products, but its main profits come from military technology, genetic research, and biological and chemical weapons.

At the beginning of the movie, the virus spread in the base, and all the personnel died inside, and then the camera turned, but it was the heroine Alice played by Guo Yunxi who temporarily lost her memory because of the infection of neurological gas.

In the bathroom, Guo Yunxi was lying naked in the bathtub, although it was covered by a mausoleum cloth, it was very exposed.

"Stand-in!"

Zhang Pu saw Xu Jiahui looking at herself, and she didn't know what she was thinking with her inquiring eyes.

Although Guo Yunxi has not been exposed, I am afraid it is inevitable when shooting.

This is actually nothing to an actor.

But Guo Yunxi is Zhang Chu's wife and Zhang Pu's sister-in-law after all.

When Xu Jiahui heard this, she was immediately dumbfounded.

She's not an actor, so she still knows a little bit about these, but she just doesn't think about it.

The film continues.

Ambrera believes that there is a problem with the artificial intelligence computer "Flame Queen" and sends special service personnel to shut down the "Flame Queen".

As soon as the special service team came out, it was eye-catching, and the words and deeds of the equipment, and the special posture of holding the gun all gave a feeling: elite!

However, among the special service teams, the most outstanding is not as the captain, but Han Xiaotong.

Han Xiaotong's image is undoubtedly amazing.

This is completely different from her previous screen image.

Moreover, her movements are very standard, and they look like they have been trained.

Yuan Bin then appeared, he played Matt is an anti-biochemical weapon, after the outbreak of the underground Resident Evil, the person who went to find his sister was also one of the last two to survive.

Later, on the tram to the hive, the group encounters Spence, who is also neurologically infected.

After the captain showed his skills, he received a boxed lunch as the other three special forces were killed by the dormant defense lasers activated by the Flame Queen.

Underground laboratories are in crisis.

Then, when the Flame Queen was shut down and lost the energy of the system, the underground workers who had been locked up by her and turned into zombies ran out, and the rest began their escape journey.

This "Resident Evil" integrates suspense, science fiction, action and other elements, the plot is tense and exciting, the sound of discussion in the theater gradually disappears, and everyone's eyes are staring at the big screen.

At the end of the film, there are the remaining four people who survived to get on the tram, among which naturally there are Alice played by Guo Yunxi, Matt played by Yuan Bin, Wren played by Han Xiaotong, and the computer master.

For that role, Jiang Bin originally invited Tan Siming to play the role, but Tan Siming refused.

In the end, Song Heon, a Korean actor, was chosen.

This is obviously for the box office of Japan and South Korea.

Needless to say, Song Xian's popularity in South Korea is not surprising, and he is quite famous in Japan and Southeast Asia.

The tram heads out, and the licker appears on the train.

Zhang Pu clearly felt that Xu Jiahui next to him was nervous.

Jiang Bin has a very good grasp of the emotions of the audience.

The whole film is thrilling, and the audience's heart always seems to be hanging.

The licker was finally killed, but surprisingly, Han Xiaotong eventually turned into a zombie.

In the end, only Alice played by Guo Yunxi and Mark played by Yuan Bin survived.

And Mark was also scratched by the licker.

The film clearly doesn't end there.

As soon as Alice and Matt left the door, they were caught by Ambrera's science team.

Ambrera opens the hive, only to be greeted by hordes of zombies.

And at the end of the film, Alice is lying in an empty laboratory with countless needles and tubes inserted into her body, apparently being used as an experiment.

Alice, who woke up, pulled out the needle from her body, walked out of the laboratory, and came to the messy street, where she found that the street was empty, and a newspaper appeared in the camera. It leaves a lot of room for imagination, and the film ends.

This is obviously a sequel teaser.
