Chapter 546 "Resident Evil" Released

It's another summer vacation, and the freshman class has ended perfectly. Lu Yiming and his group of friends returned to Baiyun City.

Not long after returning home, Lu Yiming received a call.

The call came from Paul Anderson, saying that "Resident Evil" would be released in Europe and the United States soon, and it was scheduled to be released on July 15th.

Xiangjiang can only be visited in August.

Mainland to be determined.

Paul Anderson wants to invite Lu Yiming to attend the "World Premiere" in the United States.

Lu Yiming readily agreed.

At this juncture, the United States really needs a blockbuster to restore confidence.

Lu Yiming called Shi Qingxue.

"Hey, I have nothing to do during the summer vacation. How about we go to America?"

Shi Qingxue and Cao Jingwen were shopping outside when they suddenly heard Lu Yiming talking about going to the United States. Shi Qingxue was suddenly surprised: "Why do you suddenly think of going to the United States? Why are you going?"

Lu Yiming said: ""Resident Evil" is released, let's go and watch the movie."

Shi Qingxue said: "Oh, okay. Cao Jingwen said that she has always wanted to go abroad. Can you take her with you?"

Lu Yiming said: "No problem. I originally wanted everyone to go there and see who wants to go together. Can my uncle and aunt go? Bring my parents over to have fun. Wangzi has been shouting for a long time.

I want to go abroad for a visit. By the way, remember to remind them to apply for a visa if you want to go."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask."

After making the phone call, Shi Qingxue said to Cao Jingwen: "Don't you always want to go to the United States? Lu Yiming called just now and asked us to go to the United States together."

Cao Jingwen was very happy to hear that she could go to the United States. Although her family is a dual-income family and her living conditions are slightly better than those of her peers, they are still far from being able to go abroad, let alone the United States on the other side of the ocean.

.

"Okay, why do you suddenly think of going to the United States?"

Shi Qingxue said: "Lu Yiming said to go see a movie."

Cao Jingwen was speechless and choked.

Flying all the way abroad just to watch a movie?

Are rich people so willful?

During dinner in the evening, Lu Yiming told Ning Xuehua and Lu Ding: "Dad, Mom, the movie I invested in will be released in North America on July 15th. I plan to take this opportunity for us to go there and have a good time."

Ning Xuehua asked curiously: "You invested in making a movie? What kind of movie did you make?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "It's a horror movie."

Ning Xuehua complained: "What kind of horror movie should we invest in? Can't we make some drama about family life?"

After all, at their age, they watch commercials for stomach-building digestion tablets and detoxifying and beauty-beautifying capsules, and variety shows focus on mediating post-marital infidelity. They have a mysterious obsession with the infidelity of their parents.

Lu Yiming said helplessly: "You can make money by making horror movies. Young people nowadays are all pursuing excitement."

Ning Xuehua looked disgusted and said, "Hey, why would anyone like horror movies? Wouldn't it be better to watch some peaceful and peaceful movies?"

Lu Yiming was thinking in his heart, how can the programs you watch where men and women cheat on each other or play their own roles are not stable and peaceful?

Ning Xuehua asked: "Then when will your film be released in the country?"

Lu Yiming said: "It has been submitted for review a long time ago, but it failed to pass the review. It was said that there were too many bloody and violent scenes, so there is basically no hope of domestic release."

Ning Xuehua said unhappily: "Why can it be shown abroad but not at home?"

Lu Yiming curled his lips and said, "How did I know? I shout about cultural confidence every day, but the result... haha."

Ning Xuehua worriedly said: "Didn't they say that the market in Xia Country is very big? If your movie cannot be released in Xia Country, wouldn't it mean that you will lose money?"

Lu Yiming said: "It doesn't matter. There are many leeks in the United States and the growth rate is very good. It is impossible to lose money. As for China, piracy is rampant. Even if it is released, the box office will not make much money, and there is basically no hope. But "Biochemical"

"Crisis" has been scheduled to be released in Hong Kong in August, so we can still make some money."

There were many people going to the United States, and Lu Yiming's Gulfstream, of course, couldn't accommodate them. Lu Yiming generously chartered a medium-sized passenger plane for everyone to go to the United States together.

At the strong request of Bill Gates, the plane landed in Seattle.

Bill Gates invites everyone to visit his mansion.

Although Lu Yiming's Lu Family Garden is already very large, compared with Bill Gates' boldness of directly integrating the entire mountain into the manor, Lu Family Garden is still a bit unsightly.

After spending a few days in Seattle, everyone came to Los Angeles and stayed in a hotel in Hollywood.

After putting away their luggage, everyone ate in the landscape restaurant on the upper floor of the hotel. Through the glass curtain wall, they looked at the shining words "Hollywood" halfway up the mountain in the distance.

Along the way, Li Quanwang and Cao Jingwen, who had never seen the world, seemed very excited. At this time, deep in Hollywood, they felt that their eyes were not enough, and they could not see all kinds of novel things.

"This is Hollywood."

"Are all those blockbusters shot here?"

“Is this a holy place for filmmakers from all over the world?”

"I saw a lot of sculptures and portraits of Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee should be the most famous Hollywood star in our country."

The two of them chatted and seemed to have endless exchanges.

The next day, everyone went shopping together in Hollywood and had fun all day long.

On the third day, everyone who was tired from playing rested in the hotel.

The time has come on July 15th.

The movie's premiere started at ten o'clock in the morning, but after seven o'clock in the morning, everyone in the hotel started to get busy.

In the room, Ning Xuehua took out her most beautiful dress and various accessories from the bottom of the box, and sat in front of the mirror and started to arrange them.

For her, this is a movie that her son invested in. She came to attend the premiere and of course she couldn't embarrass her son.

At nine o'clock, the crew sent several Chevrolet Suburbans over and took everyone to the Xia Guo Grand Theater in the middle of the Avenue of Stars.

At the entrance of the theater, everyone got out of the car. Everyone looked up at the entrance of the theater with surprised expressions.

Shi Qingxue said: "This shape is so strange. The doorway looks like the entrance to a courtyard in the north. It is narrow and rectangular. The key is the tall herringbone lintel. Why does it look so Southeast Asian? The Thai-style roof is like

Does it look like this? These two big orange pillars on both sides are so weird."

Lu Yiming shrugged slightly and complained: "Painting tigers is not anti-dog, that's it. Culture is a thing, if you know what it is but don't know why, you will create weird things."

This theater opened in 1927 and was built by Mr. Grauman, a man of the hour in the American film industry. It is said to have an "extremely oriental architectural style." This shows that they themselves knew that this thing was a strange thing.

, there are dozens of countries in the east, it’s normal to “get it all together”.

Entering the theater, many people recognized Lu Yiming and came over to say hello. After learning that Lu Yiming was an investor in the movie, the reporters who were originally hanging around the creators and starring actors immediately surrounded Lu Yiming.

A blonde female reporter approached Lu Yiming and asked: "Mr. Lu, why do you want to invest in such a movie?"

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Because I like it very much, so I invested."

A reporter asked: "Some people say that this movie has a niche theme and is adapted from a game. It must be mostly for self-entertainment and the box office will not be very high. What do you think?"

Lu Yiming said confidently: "As for the box office, my goal has always been to win the championship."

After the interview, Lu Yiming took everyone to watch a movie.

Although there are "zombies" everywhere in the entire movie, the word "zombie" is never mentioned in the movie from beginning to end.

In order to better perform the essence, at Lu Yiming's request, the entire crew, from the director to the actors, cleared the game "Resident Evil".

These can also be regarded as some easter eggs in the movie.

Speaking of which, this movie was shot abroad, so all the special effects were very realistic - at least the blood was really red.

If it were to be released in China, the height of this thing would have to be green. After all, China has its own national conditions.

Although he had already watched it once, Lu Yiming still felt shocked when watching it again and was shocked by the strength of the American film industry.

The gap between these things can no longer be filled by the rhetoric of economic strength and technological level. This is purely a gap in mentality. It will not be too late to discuss it when blood is red.

For girls, this kind of movie is still too scary. While watching the movie, Shi Qingxue would often turn pale with fright, and then she couldn't help but crawl into Lu Yiming's arms.

Lu Yiming thought that this was probably one of the reasons why horror movies were so popular.

Throughout the whole viewing process, screams kept coming and going, and the viewing effect was immediately full.

When the movie ended and the lights came on, many people cheered.

Lu Yiming muttered: "Ah, the uncut version is still enjoyable to watch."

There was also a lot of discussion around.

"I didn't expect that the game would turn out to be quite good when made into a movie."

"I have a hunch that this movie will create a new category."
