Finally it was his turn, and Jack whistled.

He was studying at York University because he was a native of Yorkshire, so he ran out of school after class as usual. He is a member of the school film lovers association, which is known by its name, and is organized by a group of young people who like to watch movies.

"Hey, get me four tickets to the Resident Evil movie, preferably in a row"

Pulling out a twenty-pound bill and handing it to the conductor, Jack quickly snapped out the movie ticket he wanted, triumphantly gesturing with the three companions who had been waiting on the other side of the poster wall for a long time. He didn't come alone, he came here today with three other friends from the Film Lovers Association.

"Good, dear. Give you a ticket, this is change...... "The conductor is a kind middle-aged aunt, because he often comes to this theater to watch movies, and he has long been familiar with it, which is why other people will let him come over to buy tickets, and he can always pick a good seat.

"Thank you"

took the ticket, and without waiting for him to greet him, several companions immediately surrounded him.

"Hi man. Is this Hong Kong movie really as good as you say? It was a young girl with freckles on her face, a ponytail and a very energetic look.

"I'm definitely right, don't you know who its director is?"

York University also has its own film and television majors, but only Jack himself is a film major, and the others are just amateur movie lovers, so they pay more attention to movies from the United States and Canada.

This is not surprising, since the Age of Discovery, the white race has accumulated a lot of wealth and heritage for European countries after hundreds of years of colonial plunder, and thus established a series of cultural and civilization systems with Europe as Chinese, even if the science and technology center has moved west to the United States in North America, it is still a Caucasian country. So it's not uncommon for the British to look down on Asians. Even though many British tourists visit Hong Kong every year, in the eyes of most of the British who have never been to Hong Kong, their 'Far Eastern colonies' and the Chinese ruled by them are nothing more than a bunch of lowly barbarians with pigtail braids.

But Jack didn't think so, he raised his eyebrows, "Hey guys, don't you know that this name is really embarrassing, damn it, the name of the Chinese is really awkward." ”

Seeing that several companions were full of doubts on their faces, he could only shrug helplessly, "Okay, he is the director of "Killer Leon" and "Red Alert". An amazing prophet ......"

"Is that him? Hey Jack, is this "Resident Evil" his new movie? ”

One of his companions exclaimed, apparently reminded that he had finally figured out who Jack was referring to

"That's him," Jack smiled and nodded affirmatively.

Hong Kong films have been silent in Europe, and the released videotapes will be a little 'adventurous, and niche movie lovers with a spirit will rent them back to watch, but there are few Hong Kong films that are released in European theaters every year.

However, this situation has been improved in recent years, with the rise of Lin Xiaozhi in recent years, in the name of New Asia Film Company, a number of blockbuster movies have been imported to Europe, and there is a successful foundation for "Red Alert" that can sweep away six or seven million US dollars at the box office in Europe, plus as the Soviet Union faces the collapse of various news hype this year, there are also European media who have turned out last year's film and re-hyped 'conspiracy theories' conspiracy theories, and there are some shameless and skinless media who only need to sell as long as they put on a big hat of prophet for Lin Xiaozhi

As a result, they really helped Lin Xiaozhi with the hype, and the sales of "Red Alert" in European countries doubled, at least bringing tens of millions of dollars in profits to New Asia, and also making him famous in Europe.

Nowadays, in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, its colony, has produced a Chinese director who is very good at making commercial films, and film lovers like Jack who have seen "Killer Leon" and "Red Alert" directed by Lin Xiaozhi remember this name.

No, this year, Media Asia has just launched the promotion of "Resident Evil" in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom, and it has been welcomed by many theaters and fans.

Jack's affirmative answer caused several people to be surprised, knowing that although Britain is still narrowly beating Japan and holding the market position of the world's second largest film box office, the irony is that since the 70s, British local films have basically been defeated by American blockbusters, and there is no longer the ability to fight back before World War II. For what kind of director of his own colony has been so popular in Britain in the past two years, although the movies made by Lin Xiaozhi are really good, and the downfall of British local films is also a reason.

Unlike American films, where producers and stars have a great influence on the film, it is generally believed in the European film industry that the director should be the most important soul of a film, and the same is true in the United Kingdom. Therefore, after learning that the director of the new drama "Resident Evil" was Lin Xiaozhi, a successful director who has already gained some fame in Europe, several people couldn't help but let go of some doubts in their hearts and began to look forward to the movie.

After checking the tickets, entering the screening hall, and the ten-minute long British screen movie promotional small advertisement, "Resident Evil" finally began to be screened.

"Unbelievable, this is really a movie made by Hong Kong people?"

"Oh my god, are you sure this isn't a Hollywood blockbuster from the United States?"

"Wonderful, exciting, oh my God, look at the changed swastikas in the hive in the movie, I'm betting fifty pounds, the Umbrella Company definitely has something to do with the missing mad scientists of the Third Reich"

"It's so exciting, the shootout scene is so cool, and the fight is so exciting"

As soon as the movie was released, the four of Jack were quickly excited and couldn't suppress their emotions.

The gorgeous scenes in the movie, the overflowing pseudo-sci-fi elements everywhere, and the virus leakage crisis card have only experienced the Zarnobyl nuclear leakage crisis, and Europe is still very marketable in the next few years. The wonderful gunfights, good special effects, and fight scenes in the movie that people couldn't have otherwise, except for those yellow skins from Hong Kong whose faces are not white people from Europe and the United States, look like a successful Hollywood commercial blockbuster.

They couldn't believe their eyes: "When did Hong Kong movies get so good?" ”

When they got out of the cinema, they had a strong urge to recommend: "I'm going to share this good film with my friends, it's so wonderful"

As a result, as soon as "Resident Evil" landed in the European and American markets, it soon attracted countless European and American audiences to flock to the cinema to watch the movie, just like it did in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

After they watched it, they shouted: "Cool, this is a wonderful commercial blockbuster"

"Resident Evil" landed in theaters around Europe and the United States, and soon the box office was counted, with the first week box office (four days) in the United Kingdom and UU million dollars in the first week (six days) in North America.

After the box office data was released, the entire European and American film industry was in a sensation, and at this time, the keen entertainment media also began to notice the film and then reported it one after another.

"We have to admit that Hong Kong's film production level is gradually approaching the level of Europe and the United States, which can be called 'Oriental Hollywood'.

"The special effects are not as good as "The Terminator", but no one can deny that "Resident Evil" is a very high-level commercial film" - "Daily Mirror"

"It's that Mr. Prophet again, after filming the commercial blockbuster "Red Alert", which predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union, our great prophet was obviously not satisfied with leaking the secrets, and came with another sci-fi blockbuster" - "Shilu Jiebao"

"It's terrible, I would say that someone must be pulling us out again, and 'the culprit is a film from Hong Kong in the Far East'" – Deutsche Presse

"Miramax may not be a bad thing to change to a new owner, at least Hong Kong people know how to make movies better than Japanese people." - Los Angeles Times

"Hong Kong people have a good learning ability, this recently popular movie "Resident Evil" is full of Hollywood elements, if it weren't for the fact that the director and actors are all Hong Kongers, even I suspect that this is a standard Hollywood movie." - Hollywood Movie Weekly

Virus leaks, the Third Reich, macho gods and goddesses, fierce gunfights, cool battles, although there is no support from later game fans, but also because of the loss of the game's constraints, this more exciting movie than the first in history, once it landed in European and American theaters, it conquered countless young European and American fans at once

The movie storm set off by it quickly swept all over Europe and the United States
