The weekend before the President's Day, "Resident Evil" will be fully released in North America.

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

The premiere was held at the AMG Theater in Santa Monica Commercial Plaza, and not only all the main creative staff of the crew were present, but also a unique "biochemical opening show" was held.

Although the film has been greatly adapted and the heroine Alice is also original, the influence of the game has increased in the past two years, and those popular game characters, under the authorization of Capcom, Ronan will certainly not let go, and pull them all out and put them on the red carpet and under the spotlight of reporters to increase the topic and attractiveness.

Before the main creators of the crew and the guests walked on the red carpet, a series of game characters made a swaggering appearance.

King Ada, Jill Valentine, Leon, Claire, Alpha Squad, Lickers, and Zombies, among others, all appeared on the red carpet, leaving game fans in the audience amazed and delighted.

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

Zombies in North America, although not as good as the rising star Star Wars, have also formed a culture.

There are quite a lot of people who like and even obsessed with zombie culture, and they have a wider audience than computer games, and these are also natural audiences for zombie movies.

The pre-release promotion of the Resident Evil movie has two main priorities, one is to use the game's influence to attract fans, and the other is to target zombie audiences like "The Zombie Survival Guide".

Embassy Pictures has invested far more in the latter than in the former.

Zombie movies appeared in Hollywood movies as early as the 1930s, and it was George Romero who really brought zombie movies to glory, and his "Night of the Living Dead" turned zombies away from voodoo and became monsters 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 detailed market research before formulating a promotional plan, and found that the audience's interest in zombie movies far exceeded that of game adaptations.

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

Coming to the media area, Ronan was also interviewed by media reporters.

One reporter asked, "Mr. Anderson, where would you hide if there was a zombie crisis around the world?"

Ronan replied with a smile: "If there is really a chemical crisis in the world, I will choose to flee to the South Pole or the North Pole, and I feel that the zombies will freeze to death over there." ”

There is a high probability that the zombies have not frozen to death, and the living will freeze to death.

A reporter from the gaming press asked, "Have you ever played Resident Evil?"

"Of course I did!" Ronan didn't need to make a draft at all: "I'm a hardcore biochemical game fan, and I've played basically every game carefully, and when I established Relativity Entertainment, I was first going to call it 'Ambrera', but then I consulted a lawyer and knew that it would violate Capcom's copyright, so I gave up." ”

"It is said that the original Alice, the heroine, was decided by you and director Paul Anderson. A reporter asked loudly, "What do you think of the character of Alice?"

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

After answering this question, Ronan prepared to leave the media area, quite satisfied with the answer to the last question, very feminist-conscious.

Soon, Ronan came to the photo area, and waited until the main creative staff of the crew gathered, stood in front of the huge Netflix backdrop, and took a group photo together.

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

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

At the end of the group photo, when entering the door of the crew, Priyanka Chopra walked over and took the initiative to say hello: "Hi, Ronan. ”

"Hello, Priyanka. Ronan smiled and nodded at her.

Ronan's gaze lingered for a moment at the dress worn by Priyanka Chopra, which had a striking cat on it with artistic words such as concern for stray cats.

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

Ronan glanced at the cat on the skirt again: "Your dress is very chic." ”

Priyanka Chopra was a smart woman who immediately understood what Ronan meant, and whispered with a smile as she walked: "This is the agent's idea, he thinks that a public officer who is enthusiastic about the environment or small animal protection is more attractive and can attract more people's attention." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "What your agent said makes sense." ”

Seeing the cat on Priyanka Chopra's skirt, Ronan couldn't help but think of a sentence from his previous life: The Skrulls are afraid of cats, the Kree are afraid of awkward dances, and raising cats that can only dance awkwardly can dominate the universe.

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

"You've been busy lately. Tom Cruise said without complaints: "Calling you out to play together always says there is no time." ”

Ronan told the truth: "I first went to East Asia, went around the island countries and South Korea to raise money, and then came back to San Francisco, I acquired a new Internet company, and there were a lot of things to deal with. ”

Tom Cruise said: "I've heard about an internet movie rental company called Netflix. He asked tentatively: "Is there a future in this industry?" Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in the circle, and many people are saying that you have done a very bad business. ”

Ronan didn't care about the so-called rumors: "It's too early to say success or failure, after three or four years, the results will be clear at a glance." ”

"What you do, sometimes it's hard for me to understand. Tom Cruise shook his head: "If there's something you need my help with, just ask." ”

Ronan was also polite: "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." ”

It is enough for the two of them to talk about this level, and as for the price and other issues later, it is appropriate to let their respective responsible persons talk about it.

Ronan replied, "Yes." ”

Tom Cruise pointed to Ronan's left-hand side: "Someone is waiting for you, I won't bother, you go back to Los Angeles, you have time to play together, you don't hurry up to practice your skills, when will our game be held?"

Ronan said, "I remember. ”

Tom Cruise patted Ronan on the arm and turned to go somewhere else.

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

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

"My mom came with me. Amanda Seyfried pointed not far away and said, "With my mom with me, I can stay here and watch this film." ”

Ronan said: "Actually, this film is not scary, it is more like a science fiction film, but unfortunately the MPAA is rated R. ”

Amanda Seyfried whispered, "Can't it be defined as PG-13?"

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

Relativity Entertainment doesn't have any say in the MPAA, an organization that is heavily influenced by the Big Six.

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

Ronan smiled and asked instead, "You often watch horror movies, aren't you afraid?"

Amanda Seyfried stared at Ronan intensely, "Do you still think of me as a teenage girl?" and she stressed, "Ronan, I'm grown up! I'm going to be seventeen soon!"

Ronan thought about it: "Yes, you are from 1985, and you have grown up in the blink of an eye." ”

Amanda Seyfried is still less than 1.6 meters tall, but her figure is bumpy and bumpy, and she is really completely grown.

This girl can be classified as the favorite of the creator and the like, she doesn't look tall, but the proportions are very good, it is not enough to have a beautiful face, and she has a devil-like figure.

Amanda Seyfried looked around, saw that there was no one around, suddenly leaned closer, lowered her voice and said, "Ronan, am I beautiful?"

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

This didn't seem to be the answer she wanted, Amanda Seyfried pursed her lips slightly dissatisfied, and said, "I won't tell you, I'll go find my mother and enter the theater." ”

Before leaving, she turned back to Ronan and said, "Hurricane Rescue is about to start filming, can you take the time to come and see my shooting?"

Ronan nodded in response, "I'll call you before I go." ”

"Yes!" Amanda Seyfried left happily.

Ronan chatted with the others again, and when the time was about right, he entered the theater with the crew, and the screening began quickly.

Frankly speaking, "Resident Evil" has many shortcomings, but it also has many highlights.

The structure of the film is concise, the narrative is complete, there is no superfluous plot, and everything revolves around the main story.

The action design is also quite outstanding.

Compared with the sequels in the previous life, this film does not have many action scenes, but every action scene is full of action and style under the deployment of the director.

For example, Milla Jovovich fighting against a group of dogs, and many slow-motion close-ups of bullet trajectories, a very unique style.

Of course, the coolest shot is the leader of the tactical squad that is cut into pieces, which is quite good and ingenious.

Another major feature of the action scenes of this film is that women are the protagonists, and the two beauties Milla Jovovich and Priyanka Chopra fight each other, which is quite interesting.

So, the two beauties led the two decrepit men to fight the zombies.

As for acting, this is not important for a film like "Resident Evil".

In any case, "Resident Evil" is far above the passing line of commercial films, which is very rare for such films that have nothing to do to fight little zombies.
