1152: Zombie rampage

Superman's fire was expected, but it did not hurt Li Donglai's documentary successfully sold.

Many celebrities recommend it, and countless fans have won the box office with the beautiful vision of "visiting idols". But this week, it is really surging, and strong enemies are flocking around.

The box office in North America was announced from June 21, 2013 to June 23, 2013. In the case of strong enemies being fed around, Disney Pixar's 2013 summer animation masterpiece "Monster University" was released in 4,004 theaters in North America; the zombie apocalypse thriller "The Battle of the Doomsday" starring Brad Pitt was also released on a large scale with 3,607 theaters before this weekend.

Not only is the new film fierce, but the old film is not willing to retreat.

Among them is the "Shocking Demons" which "I thought it was just that", which is the fourth week of release this week. The box office in North America fell slightly, and this week it closed at another $12.29 million, achieving a breakthrough of $119 million in North America. The global box office has also steadily entered the ranks of $380 million, which is really a counter-increase. The number of viewers is increasing. Although this fast-paced magic-themed movie is not new in terms of story, plots such as acrobatics and magic stealing banks have gradually spread on the Internet, attracting many fans to watch the movie, and the decline of the movie is not large.

Not only did it surpass "Fast and Furious 6" after its fourth week of release in North America, it also reached an infinite box office of 13.29 million in Sony's second week of release.

This achievement is enough for the Phantom to hold a celebration meeting.

Ab was especially overjoyed. She herself became popular in the United States because of this movie. She was selected by American media and fashion magazines in the new round of the world's most beautiful female stars, ranking 12th and China ranked first.

No matter how authoritative the magazine is, the media is all rude. Some people say you are the most beautiful woman in China, just be happy by yourself, and you still have to distinguish those? So ab was so lucky to become the "No. 1 beauty in China" and his value rose sharply.

Another new film this week is "The Battle of Doomsday" which creates a zombie-themed doomsday action with an "epic" temperament. This film combines Li Donglai and Brad Pitt, which has attracted much attention since the beginning of filming.

This film is adapted from the science fiction novel of the same name by Mikes Brooks, and is adapted by Li Donglai, the best Oscar screenwriter.

Because the novel uses a lot of narrative techniques of flashbacks and flashbacks. There is no clear protagonist who tells the story - the protagonist in the novel is just a clue connecting other characters and stories, and is not a "narrator" in the typical sense.

Li Donglai adapted the novel structure and reintegrated the material, making the protagonist played by Brad Pitt the real protagonist. This is the premise for the film to be viewable, and secondly, it is also to highlight the role played by Brad Pitt. Stars such as James Baggy Dale, Matthew Fox, David Morse will also join to form a star surround the moon.

Of course, there is also the zombie ss that Li Donglai experimented with. It caused a lot of trouble to the protagonist. In the end, it was shot by the protagonist.

Two trailers have been released before, both of which have caused great shocks around the world.

The first trailer presents the audience with a panoramic viewer's "worldwideness" of this zombie war. Unlike the small pattern of traditional zombie films, the corpse scene created with CG is full of impact. Zombies are coming like locusts, and corpses pile up the Great Wall, truly enlarging the zombie film to the level of a disaster film. Brad Pitt's action line and family line in the film are both expected. Pitt's beloved wife, played by Miri Enos, the heroine of the popular American drama "Murder", will fall into a life-and-death separation with Pitt.

From the trailer, the audience can also see another major adaptation of this film, where zombies are all walking steadily. This modification may be opposed by many zombie fans, because in previous zombie movies, the movement speed of zombies was very slow.

But this was set by Li Donglai, which is a major innovation in zombie films. In the behind-the-scenes interview video of the trailer, he also explained the reason for this setting, "We cannot limit the scale in front of us, and make zombies powerful, which is a subversive treatment (in fact, it has appeared in "Dawn of the Living Dead", "28 Days of Shocking Change", and "I Am a Legend". Judging from the interviews with producer/screenwriter/director, there are probably more than one zombies in the film, or the zombies can adjust their own speed.

The trailer, which is only 34 seconds short, is shockingly expressed to the fans. The trailer starts with a line from Brad Pitt, "What's going on", and then the whole city begins to shake. There are zombies stacked into mountains and walls climbing upwards, cities fall, and elite troops holding ultimate weapons.

I believe that "World of Zombies" will be the grandest scene in all zombie movies.

The film was first acquired by Brad Pitt's company in 2011, and then found the Phantom and joined forces with Li Donglai. Finally, it was invested and filmed last year. It was a long and good news.

It is also worth mentioning that the biggest difference between "World of Zombies" and other zombie films is that it is based on politics. The original book describes the outbreak of this zombie crisis in China and also involves sensitive topics such as West-Tibet. If "World of Zombies" is successful at the box office, there will be two sequels next to form a complete trilogy.

In the past two years, various zombie-themed films have emerged one after another, and the genre is not just simple horror films. "World of the Zombie" obviously cannot be simply classified as a science fiction film or horror zombie movie with the theme of doomsday.

If Phantom production, the popular American drama "The Walking Dead" on Amc TV reflects the changes in human worldview and values ​​in the context of a small group of survivors from the perspective of a small group of survivors, then "The World of Zombie" stands at another level, reflecting on some problems in today's human society and warning the future of this society.

This may be the most in-depth and distinctive zombie film ever, breaking through the traditional zombie film trapped in the whole place and breaking through the story mode of asking for help.

During the North American premiere, Li Donglai, a character who only played a cameo in the movie, played a zombie, Ss, and went hand in hand with Brad when he walked the red carpet together.

The two giants will fight together to fight Disney Pixar's "Monster University".

Let’s play with handsomeness together, and naturally there are many topics to talk about.

The handsome Brad Pitt has been popular for so many years, and the older he gets, the more charming it becomes. In addition, Li Donglai's documentary is being screened worldwide, which may break the box office record of the documentary and is the focus of attention of global entertainment media. The two of them join forces to make news and became a global entertainment hotspot on the same day.

The movie premiered on the same day with Disney Pixar's "Monster University". However, the media in "World of Zombies" far exceeds "Monster University". After all, no matter how appealing the voice actors chosen by cartoon stars are, they cannot see their faces. Naturally, they are not as topical as Li Donglai and Brad Pitt.

But don't think that these media are here to support you. If the movie is not good, you can guarantee that the next day, Li Donglai and Brad Pitt will be scolded.

The premiere began and the cinema quickly became quiet.

At the same time, the movie premiered in South Korea on the same day. Yoona specially pulled her harem group Jessica and Kwon Yuri. She also took a Xiao Mengnei to sneak into the cinema to watch the movie.

At the Hollywood premiere, Angelina Jolie and Emma Watson, who wanted to help set off the red carpet, declined their kindness, because they believed that the movie would not disappoint the audience.

Today, I believe everyone has watched the "zombie" movies that have long been watched and don't want to watch again. It's nothing more than an inexplicable infection. The government's epidemic prevention department is helpless and a large-scale outbreak of infection.

The broken limbs and internal organs were splashed everywhere. A large number of extras with white foundation painted with dark circles and blood were put on the stage. The limbs drooped and staggered, making inexplicable noises in their mouths. Then the protagonists were mostly crowded in a group of people in a small space (such as supermarkets) to escape.

"The Battle of Doomsday" was able to attract money wildly, becoming the first place in the zombie theme list, the second place in the "Disaster" list (after "The Day After") and the third place in the post-apocalypse theme (after "The Hunger Games" and "I Am a Legend"). Thanks to the Phantom's breaking the old shackles of the seven major Hollywood stars, the Phantom Li Donglai's appeal combined with Brad Pitt's personal appeal, and the epic momentum of the film's "World War"!

Let’s talk about Comrade Pitt first. Although Uncle Pitt has been aging at a speed visible to the naked eye in recent years, his calmness in his performance style and his grandeur are increasing day by day. The bad boys of Hollywood back then now all exudes the kindness of a good father and a good husband.

From "Rejuvenation" in 2008 to "Inglorious Bastard" in 2009, from "Tree of Life" and "Punishment into Gold" in 2011 to "Gentle Killing" in 2012, Pete's selling point is no longer a handsome face and a toned figure, but a gradually shifting into middle-aged charming personality and acting. It can be said to be a teaching version of "Idols to Powerful Ones". His positioning itself is the biggest bargaining chip of "The Battle of Doomsday".

Let’s talk about another point. No matter how the "zombie"-themed video is set, the investment cost has always remained at the "small scale" level. This determines the "little family spirit" of the film!

Looking at the zombie movies in recent years, the "Resident Evil" series, "Zombie Land" and even the "Warm Corpse" produced by Phantom are just "small fights". Even though "Biochemical" often travels around the world to try to create an "epic" atmosphere, the inferior makeup and the "elegant" Uncle Ergou still ruthlessly betrayed the cheap nature of this series.

In contrast, "The Battle of Doomsday", which is willing to pay for money and has great courage, has a huge investment of 190 million US dollars, is naturally incomparable. It has been positioned as "worldwar" since the beginning of the project!

The grand "fighting" scene depiction gives people a shocking impression, and the box office naturally rises!

After the movie was released, the impact was indeed true.

Zombies that rushed in like a tide swallowed the entire city, and even the helicopters flying by could not escape their clutches.

It swept away the weak characteristics of the previous "zombie theme" fight and fuss, and exaggerated the scene of the crisis of doomsday, with zombies everywhere and gunpowder rising, making people feel desolate. Brad Pitt plays a United Nations staff member in the film, struggling to survive in the end of the world. At the same time, the story also involves politics and humanity.

The box office results of 3,607 theaters on the weekend were 86.41 million US dollars, and the single-game score was about 21,000 US dollars, far exceeding the industry's expectations. This opening result also helped the Phantom to win the box office championship, winning the third vote title of the year for the Phantom, and also set a box office record with the best zombie theme.

But then again, the cost investment of US$190 million has also become a heavy burden for the film. Although the box office rose in the first week, such apocalyptic theme does not have strong long-term marketing capabilities ("I Am a Legend" is an exception).
