My movie scared the global audience to tears

Chapter 113 The Living Dead Movie Universe

This film and television base was built by Song Qi specifically for "Resident Evil".

It was originally a former factory site and he rented it for thirty years.

He hired a construction team and spent a month transforming the only existing factory here into a large photography studio.

"In the next half month, you will eat and live here."

Song Qi took the actors around and then took them to the back door of the factory. Pointing to the rows of RVs outside the door, he said, "That's your dormitory. Men and women are separated. Two people can sleep in one RV."

, use the restroom in the car, and we have professional chefs to provide you with three meals a day. Now, you can allocate your own meals and put your luggage in first."

The actors were very excited looking at the brand new RV.

Wang Qiang took the initiative to find Lu Le and suggested: "Let's live in one car!"

"OK!"

Lu Le readily agreed, so he picked up a RV with Wang Qiang and got in with his backpack.

Looking at the perfect configuration in the car, Lu Le couldn't help but admire it.

When he was working as a freelancer in a vertical store, he often saw celebrities driving their RVs next to the set and getting in the cars to rest during meal breaks, but he had never gone up to watch them.

Unexpectedly, when he came to Miracle Film and Television for an interview, he actually lived in a trailer.

After putting down their luggage, Lu Le and Wang Qiang hurried back to the factory, where Song Qi was waiting for them.

After everyone was gathered, Song Qi brought all the audition actors to the conference room scene.

"Today is the first day of training. All you need to do is study."

The staff behind Song Qi turned on the projector and played a video.

"The living dead, as the name suggests, are supernatural creatures that are neither living nor dead. They are transformed from living people and still have mobility after death. Human flesh and blood has a strong attraction to them.

Their teeth contain deadly viruses, and any person or animal bitten by them will turn into a creature like them..."

A video composed of text and animation was played on the projection screen, explaining in detail the concept of the living dead.

Song Qi stood at the door of the conference room, looking at the slightly confused actors, and breathed a sigh of relief.

In this world, there is no universal concept of the living dead.

Although there are related legends in various places, there is no universal cognitive concept.

In the culture of the Principality of Europa, there are legends about vampires. However, due to the common religious beliefs of the Principality of Europa, this evil legend has always been regarded as heresy and is strictly controlled. Related images are not allowed to appear in film and television works.

In Daxia, the legend related to the living dead is the corpse exorcism culture in western Hunan Province, but it disappeared more than a hundred years ago and became a legend.

Film and television works have a very powerful effect on cultural dissemination.

In Song Qi's original world, everyone knows about zombie culture, which is inseparable from the popularity of Hong Kong movies at that time.

Without the popularity of zombie-themed movies with the martial arts + zombie model pioneered by Sammo Hung and Lam Ching-ying, zombies might not have become a household concept at all.

The formation of zombie culture is a powerful proof of film and television communication culture.

The market can be educated, and the audience can be guided. There is no shortage of chefs in the world who can cook crabs, but there is a shortage of the first person who dares to eat crabs.

Song Qi intends to be the first to try something new in the world, and "Resident Evil" is a concept he proposes for the education market.

This is a universal concept and an IP with huge gold content, not even inferior to his Behemoth universe.

His goal is to build a movie universe of the living dead and create a new movie type - the living dead movie.

But movies are only the first step in his plan. His ultimate goal is to rely on movies to develop related series of products, including online games, movies, offline escape rooms, live-action shooting stores, script-killing stores and other businesses.

, constructing a concept market with zombies and zombies as the selling point.

But these tasks cannot be done by him alone, nor can they be completed overnight. He can only follow the plan and do it step by step.

The first step he has to take is to spread the concept and cultivate the audience.

For some actors who don't understand the concept of the living dead, acting as a zombie-like living dead is obviously an impossible task.

Therefore, Song Qi needs to train them first, at least let them understand what zombies are, so that they can perform.

After the video was played, the actors looked at each other thoughtfully.

Song Qi returned to the projection screen, looked around the crowd, and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand? You can raise your hand to ask."

A young man carrying a backpack raised his hand and asked: "Director, I would like to ask, is the training we received is to learn to perform the living dead mentioned in this video?"

"It's a zombie."

Someone next to him reminded him softly.

"Yeah, zombie." The young man nodded.

"That's right."

Song Qi admitted frankly.

The young man was a little disappointed: "Then if we were made up to look as bloody as in the video, who would recognize us?"

"Yes!"

There was a chorus of agreement at the scene, and this was also the biggest question that the actors on the scene considered.

The actors who come for the audition all want to play important roles and become famous overnight.

But if they were made up to look like the zombies in the video, they might not even recognize their biological parents. How could the audience remember them?

This guy is not stupid!

Song Qi looked at the short-haired boy with admiration and asked with a smile: "What's your name?"

"My name is Lu Le."

"Oh, Lu Le."

Song Qi repeated his name and asked: "Besides being an actor, do you have any other career plans in this life?"

Lu Le hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I just want to be an actor."

"good."

Song Qi continued to ask: "Do you think this "Resident Evil" will be popular after it is filmed?"

Lu Le was stunned when he heard this, then thought for a moment and nodded solemnly: "Definitely!"

Although he didn't know much about the movie, he could vaguely get a glimpse of the living dead culture shown in the video he just watched, as well as the few words related to the movie, that this was a brand new world.

Song Qi is a person who is very good at surprising the audience, and he is also a very ambitious director.

The behemoth universe he created has become well known to everyone, and the behemoths in the movie have become the most popular movie elements and are imitated by countless followers.

Song Qi has proven with his achievements that he is the person who best understands the film market and audiences in the world.

But this time, Song Qi stopped developing the Behemoth universe and instead devoted himself to developing such a movie related to the living dead. Lu Le never believed that he made a rash decision.

It can also be seen from this huge film and television base studio and detailed training materials that Song Qi has definitely been carefully prepared.

Considering Song Qi's previous achievements, Lu Le has absolutely reason to believe that this movie will definitely achieve great results!

Hearing his answer, Song Qi nodded, smiled and asked: "Since you know it will be popular, do you think I will only make one film?"
