Chapter 423 Zombie Fever
"Rua!"
The ferocious zombies on the TV rushed out from the dark corners, scaring the protagonist and the girls watching the movie so much that they screamed uncontrollably.
In the huge living room on the first floor, girls screamed one after another, and even Luo Quan, who was more courageous, also screamed twice.
In fact, this copycat Resident Evil movie is not that scary in her opinion. The girls who couldn't resist watching it together were timid. They would scream from time to time without turning on the lights. It was really scary to watch it out of the blue.
However, this scene is also the last scary scene in this copycat movie, and the movie ends not long after.
The lights turned on and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let me tell you, this movie is scary, but it relies entirely on sound effects. It's not as good-looking as the one you shot, Luo Luo." Wen Xia commented while patting her chest.
Luo Chuyi complained: "Captain, aren't you talking nonsense? Sister Quan is the master of zombie movies."
"Who suggested watching horror movies to relieve stress? I felt even more stressed after watching it!" Junko said with tears in her eyes.
She was timid and was most afraid of such scary horror movies.
The key is that everyone is watching, and she wanted to stay and watch together, but she couldn't bear it at first.
"That's what I read in the book." Yoona smiled sheepishly. She didn't expect Junko to be so scared that she cried.
"Okay, let's go back to the room and take a shower early. Just have a sleep." Luo Quan took out a tissue and wiped Junko, then went back to the room and took a shower.
When she got to bed, she read the online reviews of the copycat movie.
Although the production is rough and the actors are not famous, the quality is surprisingly good.
For a horror movie, the sound effects, makeup, and atmosphere rendering are all above passing standards. The most important thing is that this low-cost Internet follow-up work called "Zombie Crisis" is original in terms of plot.
In the past, when domestic copycat films were made, the scripts would not only be copied, but there would also be a lot of similarities, giving people a very strong sense of déjà vu.
And this "Zombie Crisis" basically just copied the image and setting of a zombie, and the core of the story has nothing to do with "Resident Evil".
This is also the reason why it has been widely praised after being broadcast on the video platform.
This movie is actually a low-cost movie made by a graduate director and several classmates over a few days. The plot is simple and has everything it needs.
After its release, it not only received success and praise, but also became the first domestic zombie film besides "Resident Evil".
"Resident Evil", which has been relatively popular in the past, has once again become a hot search topic in China because of this follow-up game.
It is worth mentioning that "Resident Evil" is still being released in major theaters across the country, and has already received a box office of one billion yuan, and its box office revenue on Netflix has exceeded 400 million U.S. dollars.
Compared with its investment of 30 million, this movie has achieved a return rate of more than ten times!
Moreover, the derivative value it creates on a global scale far exceeds its box office.
Various short films in the zombie genre have already been released, and it is only a matter of time before a large number of follow-up films are released.
As more and more genre films come out, the genre is going to get really hot.
Many professional filmmakers predict that 2018 will be a popular year for zombies.
The domestic view is obviously the same. Zhihu has been discussing zombies in the past few days. The most popular discussion today is about several easter eggs in "Resident Evil".
After the success of the movie, Luo Quan shot several additional Easter eggs for the movie while the iron was hot, including several new characters who will appear in the second film.
After taking these Easter eggs, she posted them on Twitter, which caused a lot of discussion.
At that time, everyone thought she was going to start filming the second part immediately, and they were quite excited.
Later I found out that it was just an easter egg to supplement the first part.
Although it's just a joy, these Easter eggs really make many plots of "Resident Evil" complete.
However, what Zhihu is discussing today is not about plot Easter eggs, but about the new characters created by Luo Quan.
In the plan for the second part of "Resident Evil", Chris and Wesker don't have much scenes. The protagonists are Alice, Jill and three new characters.
These three new characters are the three protagonists in the second part of the "Resident Evil" game: Leon, Claire and Ada Wang.
The role of Luo Quan has actually been chosen, and Leon is played by his younger brother, who happens to have the same name.
Claire is played by Su Yu, and King Ada is played by Wen Xia.
The appearance of each character is ridiculously high, which is another visual feast for the audience.
However, after Luo Quan took videos of these new characters, he only released the backs, so fans did not know who the actors were.
But making things out of thin air, making far-fetched assumptions, and making mistakes has always been what these netizens are best at.
Luo Quan didn't show it to them, so they had to guess it themselves.
A detective soon gave the answer:
"I was very excited after watching the video of Luo Quan's new characters. Let's not mention the male characters. The back views of these two female characters are really stunning. As we all know, Luo Quan is famous for his facial appearance. , the appearance of an actress with such a great figure will not be that low.
So the question is, who are the actors of these three new characters?
After careful calculations and bold assumptions, I came to the conclusion that these three actors are Leon, Wen Xia, and Su Yu, a newcomer to Luoquan Company.
The reason why I think so is mainly because I calculated the heights of the three people in the video, used various reference objects to calculate the height of the new character in the video, and then compared it with the height in reality, and came up with this. Conclusion, absolutely no problem! "
This answer received tens of thousands of likes, but it also received countless questions:
"Isn't this too natural? There are so many actors in the world, why does Luo Quan have to be by his side?"
"Although, why would Luo Quan name the character after his younger brother? That would be too dramatic."
"The one in the red cheongsam is obviously Alice. Will there be a person wearing the same clothes as Alice in the second part?"
"The one upstairs is obviously not careful. The second girl in the red cheongsam has black hair, and Alice has blonde hair!"
"Damn, I really didn't pay attention to this. So there are really new characters?"
"It's these three performances, I'll live broadcast and eat Oli for them."
Obviously, there are just as many people who believe this answer as there are people who question this answer.
Only Luo Quan himself shook his head in confusion, wondering if his filming plan had been leaked, but the actor he guessed was pretty good.
If it was really calculated and guessed based on ability, that would be great.
However, Luo Quan still prefers that this is a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.
But no matter what, these people are providing popularity for "Resident Evil" and allowing new entrants to have other fun besides movies.
This is good news for the second part of "Resident Evil".
The reputation has now been built, and the second part will be the beginning of the real takeoff of this series.
As those filmmakers said, 2018 will be a hot year for zombies.
Of course, according to China's legislation, 2017 has not passed yet. There are still the last few days left, which are also the most lively and festive days.
The drama of Spring Festival transportation begins along all the trains and cars on all roads.
This is the largest migration movement since the beginning of human civilization, and it happens every year.
Luo Quan was once lucky enough to squeeze into a Spring Festival travel train. It was really crowded from beginning to end. Even the carriage was full of people. Going to the toilet was as difficult as crossing a single-plank bridge.
Because it was so crowded, I could only sleep standing up if I wanted to sleep.
There were people all around, and the smell of smoke, sweat, and an indescribable smell lingered around me.
Since then, Luo Quan vowed never to take a train again.
But for those with poor financial conditions, long-distance trains are the best choice, so even though they are dragging large and small bags and tired from the journey, they can still go home unshakably.
Nothing else, because this is the instinct engraved in the genes.
It’s the New Year, and it’s time for the whole family to get together, have New Year’s Eve dinner, and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Of course, these are the customs of the older generation. Many young people born in the 1990s do not take reunions and Spring Festival Gala so seriously.
Especially for the Spring Festival Gala, the ratings of the Spring Festival Gala in previous years have continued to decline. Although CCTV has thought of many ways and implemented many new activities, there has been little improvement.
As the older generation of artists gradually takes the stage, the programs become less and less funny, and the ratings will naturally drop. There is no way around it.
However, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, CCTV finally made some changes, boldly using new people, and also invited many powerful and popular new stars.
The final effect was immediate. The ratings, which had been declining for years, suddenly turned around and rebounded.
The planning team of the Spring Festival Gala also followed suit, overturning the original invitation list and giving some spots to new stars.
In short, the entire big plan is developed around innovation.
Although this is a bold attempt, it doesn't matter if it fails.
Because on New Year's Eve, there is no competitor for the Spring Festival Gala, and the ratings are declining every year anyway. Naturally, everyone is happy if it succeeds, but it doesn't really matter if it fails.
For young people, the performance of Luoquan and Girls' Generation on the same stage is a program that must not be missed. It is also the biggest gimmick and attraction of this year's show.
Each of these two parties is currently one of the top stars in the country. Ten people performing on the same stage seems to date back to last year when they were filming "Creating Girls' Generation".
Once the topic becomes topical, the publicity work related to the Spring Festival Gala becomes very simple.
As long as the names of Luo Quan and Girls' Generation appear in the news in a more conspicuous position, passers-by will naturally come to see it.
For the first Spring Festival Gala performance in life, whether it was Luo Quan or a girl from Girls' Generation, they all prepared very hard this time and were highly concentrated every day.
This tension lasted until New Year's Eve.
In the lobby of Studio No. 1, all the audience and guests participating in the Spring Festival Gala are now seated. The staff has also adjusted the lighting and sound. The director, actors, and hosts are all ready. Everyone is waiting for that exciting moment. arrival.
At eight o'clock sharp, all the TV screens turned into a festive red, and then the scene of the Spring Festival Gala appeared.
Lively and joyful music played, and countless children and dancers in various ethnic costumes performed the opening dance of the Spring Festival Gala.
The wonderful dance made the atmosphere at the scene extremely festive, and everyone was immersed in the anticipation and joy of the upcoming grandest festival in China.
After the three-minute opening dance, the four CCTV hosts walked to the stage together, their faces filled with joy:
Host A: Dear guests and friends
Host B: Dear leaders and viewers in front of the TV
Moderators C and D: Please allow us to introduce to everyone here first
Together: Have a good year!
Behind the camera, the stage director raised his hand for everyone to applaud, and then there was a round of applause.
On the Spring Festival Gala stage, what should be done in each link is designed, and the audience, including the live audience, is also a member of the Spring Festival Gala performance. They are mainly responsible for guiding the audience to applaud at the appropriate time to avoid a cold start.
Although as long as the show is exciting enough, everyone's applause will not stop.
But it is the Spring Festival Gala after all. If something happens and no one applauds and the camera happens to be in the audience, the scene will be too embarrassing.
After the applause, the host continued: "2017 is a year of harvest and a year of soaring. In this year, our Chinese nation goes to the sky to embrace the bright moon and goes to the sea to explore the Dragon Palace.
Whether it is technology, economy or humanities, there have been amazing developments. "
The female host took over the conversation and continued: "We are a vast country with a history of five thousand years and countless rare treasures. New cultural relics appear every year, proving to history the turbulent years and extraordinary wisdom of our ancestors. .
Just a few months ago, a treasure from China reappeared in the world. "
The audience in the audience had already begun to applaud and cheer, and everyone knew what the treasure the host was talking about was.
"According to legend, the first emperor of Qin unified the six kingdoms and ordered Prime Minister Li Si to use the priceless He's jade to cast a traditional jade seal. On it was engraved with the eight characters "mandated by heaven to live long and prosperous". Since then, all dynasties have regarded it as the key to winning the country. proof.
Because of the war backstage, this jade seal disappeared in the long river of history, but treasures never remain dusty forever. This jade seal finally appeared at a charity auction in Shanghai.
After the patriotic artist took a photo of it, he accidentally discovered its true identity. After identification, he resolutely donated this treasure to the country! "
The audience burst into applause again. This time, the country used the Spring Festival Gala as a platform to praise Luo Quan by name. This was a unique occasion.
"Now, let Luo Quan invite the Imperial Seal to the stage, so that everyone can feel the magnificent face of this Chinese treasure!"
At the beginning of the Spring Festival Gala, a highlight was played directly with the Imperial Seal, and the audience in front of the TV was stunned.
