United States, Blizzard Games. One????? Read the book and see?· １?ＫＡＮＳＨＵ·ＣＯＭ

Frank Pierce packed up his things and was about to leave, and when he saw that the computer in the office was still on, he knocked on the door and said, "Hey, Mike, Alan, it's Christmas Eve tonight, you won't have to work overtime, will you?" ”

"Of course not, we just saw a funny thing on the internet." McMolheim laughed.

"What's that?" Frank Pierce immediately ran in to watch.

Alan Adhan pointed to the computer and said: "Oriental Charm Network has launched a game channel, and our "Warcraft 2" has a high rating, with a score of 9.2, temporarily ranking first in the computer game category. ”

Frank Pierce looked at it for a long time and asked, "Was it chosen by the editor of the website?" We don't pay for advertising. ”

"No, it's all a comprehensive score from netizens." McMolheim said.

Frank Pierce laughed: "It seems that this website is very fair, and there is no behind-the-scenes operation. ”

The three founders of Blizzard games, after shopping around the game channel of Oriental Charm Network, packed up their things and turned off their computers and left.

Frank Pierce asked, "Do you have a show for the night?" Why don't you go to the bar together and relax? ”

Alan Adhan said: "I asked my girlfriend to watch a movie, you guys go." ”

These words immediately attracted the middle fingers of two single dogs.

"Haha, I haven't forgotten you," Alan Adhan laughed, "Jenny will bring two colleagues with her, both of them are hot girls, don't let this opportunity go." ”

"Oh, Alan, I find myself in love with you." Frank excitedly wanted to hug each other.

"Fuck off, I'm not a faggot.? One??? ?Reading?? Book 1?K?A?N?SHU COM" Allen kicked him away.

Mike shrugged, it didn't matter. The three of them are barely young and rich, so naturally they don't have to worry about finding a girlfriend, and the reason why they are single is just because they are too homely.

The three of them drove to pick up the girls, and after a group dinner, they temporarily formed three couples to go to the cinema.

Alan asked his girlfriend Jenny, "What movie do you want to watch?" ”

"I've heard that Jumanji's game is great." Jenny replied.

Another girl, Maria, said, "I saw that movie last week, so let's change to another one." ”

"Oh oh, it's Tom Cruise, let's watch Resident Evil." The third girl highly recommended.

I have to say that although the salary of inviting a Hollywood superstar is very expensive, it is definitely worth the price, and the box office appeal is there.

Mike frowned and said, "This movie is so familiar, where do I want to see it?" ”

Alan smiled: "The banner on the homepage of the Oriental Charm Network has been hanging for half a month. ”

Mike patted his head: "Yes, yes, yes, as soon as I open the web page these days, I can see the advertisement for "Resident Evil". ”

"Then watch this movie, the first film to be advertised on the Internet, we can't miss it." Frank laughed.

So it was decided so amicably, and "Resident Evil" sold 6 more movie tickets in North America.

Not long after entering the screening room, McMolheim felt depressed, and the girl he was assigned was really not to his taste. Not to mention being a fan of Tom Cruise, as soon as I sat down, I ate popcorn and talked about cosmetics and beauty.

This kind of woman is so boring that McMolheim didn't even bother to answer, just staring at the big screen and waiting for the film to start.

Fortunately, this movie did not disappoint him, and when Mike saw the zombie appear, he directly opened his mouth wide: "Even buy karma, the setting of zombies is so interesting, and the screenwriter is an imaginative genius." ”

After watching the movie, only the fan girl was very unhappy, her idol Tom Cruise had too few roles in the film, and the real protagonist was actually an Asian woman.

"Why are there so many Asian faces in this film?"

"Man, didn't you notice? This is an Asian film, ready to say a Hong Kong movie. ”

"Really? I thought it was an Indian film. ”

"The heroine is indeed beautiful, she should be mixed-race."

“……”

After several people left the cinema, they were still discussing enthusiastically. Whether it is a large number of white actors, English dialogues, or Li Jiaxin's mixed-race appearance, they have dissolved the cultural barrier between the East and the West, making it easy for American audiences to accept this film.

Coupled with the 2,500-screen blockbuster, Tom Cruise's appeal, and Paramount's strong publicity, "Resident Evil" grossed $18 million in its opening weekend (3 days) in North America, making it effortlessly the weekly box office champion.

Of course, there is also a reason for the foil of peers. There are no good movies this Christmas, just a "Game of the Brave" is quite good, but this film has been in theaters for ten days, and it has long passed the peak of the box office.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are overlords. "Resident Evil" stood out from a group of weak chickens in this way, dominating the North American Christmas stall in 1995 and winning the box office championship for three consecutive weeks.

According to this momentum, the North American box office will exceed 100 million, and it depends on whether it can break the 150 million mark.

The Hollywood Reporter commented, "A good sci-fi commercial film, the concept of zombies is very creative, and Kang always brings us something new." ”

"Variety" commented: ""Resident Evil" has brought too many surprises to the audience, and the biggest surprise is at the end of the film. The hero and heroine escape from the ground with great difficulty, and they face an even more terrifying beginning. Yes, this is just the beginning. ”

Christian Monitor: "The human heart is always more terrible than a monster." Zombies come from human greed, and in the process of escaping, human nature is a more difficult monster to deal with than zombies. ”

The New York Times: "Standard popcorn movie, but it's really funny." ”

The American people are very fond of zombies, and after "Resident Evil", various movies and TV series about zombies appeared, and "The Walking Dead" was even filmed for several seasons.

When the box office of "Resident Evil" in Hong Kong exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars, the box office in North America was nearly 100 million US dollars, and it even skyrocketed again on New Year's Day.

In the past, rebellious young people in the United States loved to dress themselves up as vampires, werewolves, or something. Now they finally have a choice, and during an underground rock show during the New Year, a heavy metal band dressed up as zombies, drawing screams from fans.

Allen, Mike and Frank, the three Blizzard founders, originally thought that "Resident Evil" had nothing to do with them. As a result, the film has not yet been released in theaters, and Nippon Sega Games and Paramount Pictures suddenly came to the door, saying that they wanted to take a stake in Blizzard Games and bring the game rights of "Resident Evil".
