At the same time, "Variety", the world's most authoritative entertainment industry media in the critics' circle, finally broke its silence and used a full-page page to tell the whole United States its understanding of "Resident Evil".

The headline on the front page of "Variety" is a hymn: "The subversion of imagination, the sense of surname and the bloody carnival." ”

No matter how you look at it, Smith Chow is a smart guy with super camera control and good at capturing the audience's mind. We're always staring blankly at his elaborate killing machine, or the innocent and glamorous choir girl, before his movie is released. But after the end of the movie, we find the unique ideological connotation behind the killing machine, and the real themes of tolerance, change and salvation behind the natural chorus.

This time, it didn't disappoint us either, the image-level director Smith Chow brought a perfect new era zombie film into everyone's field of vision, completely subverting and shattering all illusions about zombies.

Indeed, as many media say, zombies are flying, united, united and cooperative. Fighting against such a group of zombies, the chance of survival of the entire human society is less than 1%.

But this is what brings all the audiences who watch the movie, and the unparalleled sense of oppression and substitution can make Alice completely enter the hearts of the audience and their thoughts from a fictional overhead character.

You must know that in the face of such a disaster, you must have steely nerves to face it, which can give birth to the back frame of human beings who need a savior, so that the audience can agree that Alice is the only irreplaceable savior of that catastrophe.

Smith Zhou has played such an obscure technique many times, and this time, it is still perfect.

And from another point of view, because for a zombie movie, shooting something new, rather than fried cold rice is the most important and entertaining, there is no doubt that this is a very interesting adaptation.

In order to demonstrate this point of view, "Variety" deliberately selected a few pictures to illustrate.

One is the countless zombies overturning the vehicle and then flooding the entire street like a wave.

The other is the picture of Alice, played by Mira, on the train, with a sense of surname and heroic posture holding a blood-dripping fire axe.

The sharp and clean editing is so smooth that it can be called dazzling and ferocious! The whole apocalyptic world is like a montage, Smith Chow once again surpassed himself, and made a big production with ease, coupled with the heart-beating electronic music and breathing sound of "Smith Chow's royal soundtrack" John Williams, the whole movie is adrenaline-pumping!

Commercial films are commercial films, and it is definitely not wise to always want to find out the description and connotation of literary films from commercial films. But Smith Zhou still told us from the side, with countless shots showing the selfishness of people's surnames, that disasters do not come from volcanic eruptions or landslides and tsunamis, but from human greed and madness.

In line with this, it is needless to say that the background of global warming in the world today is not much to say.

The combination of parkour and cinema brought this unknown sport into everyone's field of vision for the first time, and also made this sport blossom all over the United States overnight, and countless young people were excited and enthusiastic to fall in love with this sport that showed courage and style.

The most worth mentioning, the most undeniable thing, is that Milla Jovovich, the Ukrainian rose, completely lived a transformation process from ignorance to savior, with sharp eyes and a surname figure, standing in front of a large group of zombies with a blood-dripping fire axe, the heroic style is simply unique!

She is such a treasure among zombies, the goddess of boys' hearts!

Well, "Resident Evil" brings us a pleasant and explosive shot, a world full of imagination, and then it successfully occupies the hearts of hot-blooded young people, even if it is a commercial film, Smith Chow's directing talent is also worthy of recognition!

As soon as the words of "Variety", which is the leading boss, came out, the originally calm air of the American media rose again, and all kinds of rebuttals and doubts reappeared, but even if they scolded their throats, Smith Zhou, who counted the money and had cramps in his hands, still used "Resident Evil" to increase his popularity again.

In last week's national weekend box office charts, "Desert Island" starring Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks unsurprisingly ranked second, earning a total of $31.5 million in three days. Here are "100% Men," which grossed $71 million in three weeks and only $15.9 million this week, and "Agent Belle," which totaled $31 million in two weeks.

In the second week, "Resident Evil" still led the box office list, winning $74.78 million in one fell swoop, and the total score came to $134 million, while "Desert Island" was full of stamina, with the appeal of the actor, a large number of middle-aged audiences came to cheer, almost knocking "Resident Evil" off the altar, this week, it received a box office result of $69.52 million.

In the third week, the last break before the students in the United States went to class, and the parents always let their children choose the movies they wanted to watch, and the loyal customer base of "Resident Evil" came like a wave again, and the box office results miraculously remained strong!

62.96 million US dollars, this achievement makes the goal of breaking through 200 million close at hand!

In the fourth week, with the work and study of the target consumer group, the box office finally fell unstoppably, earning $12.01 million a week.

In just four weeks, "Resident Evil" surpassed DreamWorks and Universal's "Gladiator" for $135624874, Warner Pictures, "The Perfect Storm" for $182618434, and Paramount Pictures' "100% Men" for $182811707, to reach the fourth place at the annual box office.

Let's summarize the American film industry in the new millennium, this year, countless miracles have occurred, and the biggest miracle is created by Smith:

At the top of the list is the epic feature film directed by Smith Chow, and the Oscar hit "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" next year has grossed $440 million in North America and exceeded $700 million worldwide.

The second place is the comedy "Green Stole Christmas" starring Jim Carrey, which grossed $260 million in North America.

and the third is Paramount Pictures, directed by the Chinese pride John Woo and starring Brother Liang Tang in "Mission Impossible II", with $215 million in North America.

The fourth place is still Smith Chow's movie, "Resident Evil" has a total score of 208 million US dollars, but the movie is still in the release period, and the chances of killing "Mission Impossible II" and ranking in the top three of the year are endless.

In the first half of 2000, it belonged to "The Spring of the Cattle Herding Class", and Christmas in the second half of the year belonged to "Resident Evil", this movie swept everything, as if the aircraft carrier knocked over the poor little sampan without anger, holding its head high, rampage, and staring at the world!

And Smith Chow shocked the world again, the 23-year-old Chinese director who made his own history in the film world dominated by white people.

Three films, the North American box office performance exceeded 800 million US dollars, and the global box office incomplete statistics reached 1.4 billion US dollars!

Everything, all super jump, leave behind, head forward! ――

On January 21, 2001, American time, Zhou Shaoming, who had indulged in carnival for more than half a month, said that he was very refreshed, looked at himself with great satisfaction in the mirror, and nodded happily.

Today, it is a grand event in the American film industry, and the 58th Golden Globe Awards ceremony of Film and Television is held on this day after the Oscars.

The Golden Globes began in 1943 and were sponsored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which is one of the most important awards in the American film and television industry, with a total of 24 awards, the list of nominees for the Golden Globes is usually announced before Christmas, and the awards gala is held in mid-January of the following year. The location of the Golden Globes Gala has changed several times, but in recent years it seems to have been fixed at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. As the first film and television award issued every year, the Golden Globe Awards are regarded by many as the vane of the Oscars.

As the first film and television award to be presented each year, the Golden Globe Award should be one of the most well-run film and television awards in the United States, and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which organizes the award, has a federal registry registered with the Charitable Foundation Association, as a "non-profit surname organization", and the income of the association is tax-deductible. The final result of the award was voted for by 96 journalists, most of whom were part-time.

Unlike the Oscars and Emmys, the Golden Globes do not award technical awards because they do not have a professional voting panel.

Zhou Shaoming's "Spring of the Cattle Herding Class" shined at this year's Golden Globe Awards, winning four awards nominations, including Best Picture in the Drama category, Best Director, Best Actress in the Drama Category, and Best Soundtrack, becoming the biggest winner who attracted the attention of fans and the media.

"Honey, you haven't packed it yet, have you? If it's a little later, you won't be able to catch up! Christina's sweet voice came from outside, urging Zhou Shaoming, who was looking in the mirror and fiddling with his hair, to be more cheerful.

"Right away, right away!" Zhou Shaoming put some hair oil on his hair and combed his hair, until he couldn't find anything unsatisfactory, then opened the door and walked out.

"Wow! My great director, you are so handsome! Christina's eyes widened in surprise, and she circled around the grinning Zhou Shaoming a few times, and couldn't help but hug his neck and give him a sweet kiss.

"Haha, the grandeur of the great director is spontaneous, watch me go to the Golden Globe Awards and shake up the tiger body again and again, and beat all those arrogant Yankees down!" Zhou Shaoming said jokingly, with a confident smile.
