Chapter 422: Avengers Enter Hollywood
The Avengers reunion is over, and it’s New Year’s Day in a blink of an eye. “Resident Evil” is online!
A movie theater in West Los Angeles, California, next to the Hollywood sign.
The city is known for its strong film industry, with many film and production companies headquartered here.
Local people are also very enthusiastic about the film.
On New Year's Day, the new year, the cinema was crowded with people.
John is a senior movie fan and a film blogger with 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
His favorite genres are suspense thrillers and action movies, and he will basically appear on the scene when there are similar movies.
He has a picky taste in movies and his comments are sharp, often hitting the nail on the head, so he has won the support of many fans.
And on several occasions, his reviews of movies are very close to those of Rotten Tomatoes (the most authoritative review website in North America).
Known as the weather vane of the film industry.
If there is a well-known IP, you can also see his Cosplay.
Last year, his favorite Sherlock Holmes movie was released, and many people saw him appearing on the streets with a cigarette holder, a felt hat, a suit and a cloak.
There are two action movies in the New Year's Day schedule that both attract him.
One is "Tomb Raider", a movie starring his favorite movie star Anna.
The director is also a top Hollywood director.
The production company behind it is also one of the top companies in Hollywood, Lionsgate, a large company on the same level as Magi in film production.
Strictly speaking, they are competitors.
Lionsgate also participated in the attack on Magi behind the scenes this year, in order to take advantage of Magi's weakness and acquire this former film giant at a low price.
As a result, Magi was not dead yet. Thanks to the success of several major projects, it received several life-saving investments and was able to catch its breath.
So this time, regarding "Resident Evil", it is not just a PK between two female stars, but also big capital is playing a game behind the scenes.
John first watched the most anticipated movie "Tomb Raider".
The story tells about the heroine Lola's father, an archaeologist, who brought back a mysterious ancient ring during an archaeological expedition. This ancient ring is inextricably linked to a mysterious organization called "Tianming Society".
The Tianming Society believes that this ancient ring is the key to unlocking time and space. They have been searching for this ancient ring in order to resurrect the founder of their organization and thus control the world.
So Lola's wonderful adventure began.
The plot is full of twists and turns, mysterious tropical jungles, deep caves and ancient tombs, full of suspense, and there are also handsome men and beautiful women and exciting fighting scenes!
The whole process was so exciting that John was overwhelmed with emotion!
He even felt that this movie might be among his top 10 favorite movies!
After watching "Tomb Raider", John felt that he was still not satisfied.
He plans to watch the second movie that has been recommended by the media recently.
It is a movie adapted from the well-known game IP "Resident Evil".
He was paying attention to this one simply because the game was really a hit. Even though he had never played it, he knew the uproar it caused when "Resident Evil" was released.
But to be honest, whether it is the actors or the team, "Resident Evil" is far from being able to compete with "Tomb Raider"!
They are all dramas with strong female protagonists. Although Amy is a legendary action star, her status is not as high as Anna's, and her image is not in line with Hollywood's usual aesthetic.
Hollywood still prefers blonde, blue-eyed, curvy, and white girls.
Amy's features are too rigid and her face is not pretty enough.
Not to mention the team.
Lionsgate is behind "Tomb Raider", which is very popular this year.
With many works, it has become the largest production company in Hollywood.
Let’s look at “Resident Evil”. Although it is backed by the former website Magi, they have been on the decline in recent years due to financial crisis.
Without the injection of new forces, this downward trend will be difficult to reverse.
Another team in "Resident Evil", the Avengers of Daxia.
To be honest, the appearance of this mysterious Daxia company is still very stunning.
The first time I knew this name was probably from the game PokemonGo.
Asgard is a game studio under the Avengers. Later, they released "Resident Evil", which was the first time to bring up the concept of doomsday zombies.
These two games are quite amazing in terms of both world view and gameplay!
It is no exaggeration to say that it is stunning!
Then another studio under their umbrella, S.H.I.E.L.D., emerged!
Currently it is already among the top three in the anime section on Instagram!
The pure-blooded Daxia company, Avengers, thus began to enter the field of vision of Western media.
The real excitement doesn’t stop there.
Since last year, a truly original classical musician has emerged in Daxia - Ironman!
This person has been on the hot search these days, his "Moonlight Sonata"!
Such a world-class musician is actually also a member of the Avengers.
But even so, people from Daxia are coming to Hollywood!
No one succeeded! Neither the actors nor the director!
It is extremely difficult to become a top star in Hollywood!
It turns out that there was once a person named Guozhenqi who also created amazing works.
But it is difficult for Daxia people to get rid of the cultural core and storyline that are not adapted to the local environment in Hollywood.
This man seems to be a top director in Daxia, and is only considered second-tier in Hollywood.
So, the Avengers bravely enter Hollywood!
Not optimistic! But you can take a look!
Just think of it as a thumbs up to the game "Resident Evil"!
He had planned to watch the midnight showing of "Resident Evil" next.
The result... there are no tickets left!
There are no tickets left!!!
Aren't you guys awake in the early hours of the morning?!
"No tickets?"
"Yes, it's full."
"So when is the next one?"
"There's one tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock."
"What about the afternoon and evening?"
“It’s basically full.”
"Let me see."
He saw the screen full of red crosses and fell into deep thought.
This is a large movie theater next to the Hollywood Hills! There are so many shows!
"Tomb Raider" will be shown at 8 o'clock tonight and there will be 22 screenings, and "Resident Evil" will also have 9 screenings, ranking 5th among all movies.
It’s not low, but it’s full?!
This number is not small for an average movie. It seems that Magi still takes good care of his own son.
Then you told me that it was full!
"That's not right. What about Tomb Raider?"
Let’s look at the situation of “Tomb Raider”, it’s about 70 to 80 percent, which is normal!
The full ticket sales for "Resident Evil" are very abnormal!
No, no, I have to watch it quickly!
What's going on with this movie?
This way, the attendance rate on the first day will be huge!
I stayed up all night and didn’t want to get up early tomorrow, but now I don’t care, let it be 8 o’clock!
So, with great curiosity, he hurried home to catch up on his sleep.
The next morning, urged by three alarm clocks, John yawned and rushed to the cinema again.
As soon as I went in, oh my god!
It's 8 o'clock in the morning. Are you here to work?
There were a lot of people there, many of them were yawning but they looked very excited!
Even John, a veteran movie fan, began to admire these people!
What kind of spirit is this? What quality can pull them out of their vacation beds?!
Although John is not a veteran player of "Resident Evil", he still vividly remembers the nationwide discussion that the theme of doomsday zombies caused when it first appeared.
Although he didn't know much, it didn't stop him from being extremely excited today.
At 8 o'clock, the movie officially begins.
