PS. This chapter and the next chapter will have a lot of movie plots. Book friends who don't like to watch can skip it, or those who understand will understand…………

Compared with the media resources mastered by big capital, individual resources are too small.

After Luo Quan negotiated the cooperation with Netflix, the promotion of "Resident Evil" spread across the entire North American Internet the next day.

YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Tiktok, Ins, IGN, etc., social media, forums, as long as Netflix has bought advertising space, all added the movie poster of "Resident Evil."

The content of the poster is Luo Quan wearing a red dress, holding a Desert Eagle, with a large blank space in the background, and a conspicuous "Umbrella Corporation" logo in the upper left corner, covered with blood.

The poster is regular, but the effect is also very intuitive. The biggest selling point on the surface of the film is Luo Quan, and looking at the attire, there should be quite a few action shots in the movie, which is very exciting.

Besides that, Netflix's own website homepage also placed the movie poster in the most eye-catching position, ensuring that every member entering the website could see it.

Just a poster is not enough to attract a large number of passers-by to watch the movie. What really made "Resident Evil" popular was a two-minute movie trailer released by Netflix next.

The trailer started in darkness, and the soundtrack was slightly gloomy and solemn.

A few seconds later, a red font appeared in the center of the screen:

"The dead return to life, chain infection."

The screen suddenly lit up, and a blurred glass wall appeared in front, with countless faces stuck to the glass, making noisy, harsh wails, and blood-stained hands left twisted bloodstains on the glass.

The background music started to become urgent from here, and the screen also began to switch rapidly between several protagonists and supporting roles. The content was either shooting or fleeing, and the atmosphere was created to be tense and exciting.

At the end of the trailer, the surviving protagonists finally stopped running, and everyone looked ahead in horror. From the direction that the lens could not see, there was a heavy sound of footsteps.

The screen became blank, a huge roar sounded, and then fell into calm.

At the end of the trailer, the "Umbrella Corporation" logo appeared again, and the film title appeared below the logo: "Resident Evil."

Just from the content, this is definitely an excellent thriller trailer. The atmosphere is rendered very well, the main highlights appear in turn, and suspense is also left, which also contains quite a few details.

Under the vigorous promotion of Netflix, the entry "Resident Evil" finally got rid of Luo Quan and boarded the Twitter trend list alone.

Judging from the comments, netizens showed quite high interest in this thriller that looked quite interesting:

"I've seen too many third-rate horror movies in Hollywood, but "Resident Evil" gave me a special feeling. Maybe it's different from those inferior thrillers?"

"Seeing Netflix, I'm relieved. Like the movie's lead actress Luo Quan, this is synonymous with quality."

"Finally waited for Luo Quan's big heroine movie. Although she was very beautiful in "The Lord of the Rings," her scenes were really a bit small."

""The Lord of the Rings" brushed three times. Currently, I'm a bit tired of this kind of epic blockbuster. It's just right to watch something else and change the taste."

"Just looked at the cast list of "Resident Evil," good guy, a row of Luo Quan's names. Does she like to do everything by herself when making movies, just like she writes songs?"

"Doing it by yourself makes people feel at ease. Luo Quan's works have never been bad so far!"

"Hard to say, Luo Quan is a bona fide newcomer in the film industry."

"Who didn't start as a newcomer?"

………………

Thanks to the good impression Luo Quan accumulated in the hearts of fans and passers-by in the past, after the movie trailer came out, the comments were basically positive, and fans even expressed that they must contribute a movie ticket to Luo Quan.

However, men's mouths, ghosts' lies.

Luo Quan heard the same words too many times in China, all saying that they would support with money this time, but which time was it not free-loading?

It was only active once when crowdfunding for her to take swimsuit photos, and it was simply not seeing rabbits and not throwing eagles.

When it comes to consumption ability, the fans in Japan are more reliable.

Of course, her fans in the United States should have good consumption ability. If the movie is good, it is estimated that they will not owe her the movie ticket money, and the payment rate is still worth looking forward to.

Originally, Luo Quan wanted to wait for half a month before releasing it, mainly to avoid "The Lord of the Rings." Now that she changed to playing online, she didn't need to deliberately avoid it.

Of course, compared to offline theaters, the ticket price collected online is less, only 5 US dollars, and can be watched repeatedly.

The trailer fermented online for three days, attracting considerable attention and discussion.

Finally, at dawn on January 12th, New York time, "Resident Evil" was officially released on Netflix.

In an ordinary rental house in New York, several boys held chicken legs, fries, and drinks bought from the fried chicken shop downstairs and entered the living room.

"Hurry up, Brook, "Resident Evil" is already broadcast, I can't wait to see my goddess's action scenes!" The black boy put a pile of food on the coffee table in the living room, couldn't wait to open the home theater, and then used his phone to enter his Netflix personal account.

""Resident Evil," 5 dollars, pay." The black boy muttered while operating.

"What's the rush, no matter how urgent it is, it's still my wife." The white boy named Brook and several other roommates sat down one after another, clumsily opening the outer packaging of the fast food.

"Pull the curtains, turn off the lights!" Brook shouted while gnawing on chicken legs.

Although they often watch horror movies to relieve boredom, there are really not many movies that can scare them.

But even so, the lights still have to be turned off. After all, horror movies don't have an atmosphere if they don't turn off the lights.

Everyone sat down, each holding fried chicken and fries, and the movie started playing.

In the darkness, the first thing that appeared was Netflix's logo.

Then the words "Resident Evil" replaced it, followed by "Director Luo Quan."

After the main producer appeared, the content of the movie officially began.

Countless bright red DNA intertwined into a strange picture, and the low and magnetic narration began to tell:

"Umbrella Corporation is one of the largest companies in the United States. More than 80% of families use their products, and their political and business influence is pervasive.

On the surface, it is the world's top computer technology and pharmaceutical medical supplier, but even most of the company's employees don't know that most of its huge profits come from military technology…………"

The narration ended, and a white square appeared in the center of the screen. As the lens gradually zoomed in, the square occupied the entire screen.

Two mechanical arms operated in a glass cabinet, and blue, green, and red medicines lay in the cabinet.

A man in a biochemical suit took out the three medicines and syringes one by one and put them into a special box.

However, when loading the last blue medicine, he accidentally dropped it on the ground.

The man stared at the broken medicine bottle for a few seconds, didn't dare to stay long, and immediately left the laboratory.

The blue medicine was already flowing on the ground at this time. As the lens gradually moved up, a ventilation duct appeared in the field of vision, implying that it had circulated to the entire research institute through this duct.

And at this time, the employees in the research institute were working as usual.

A man in black collided with an employee, and the coffee in his hand was all over his body.

The man spread his hands, looked at the back that didn't intend to look back at all, and said helplessly: "Thank you... really unlucky."

"Some people are really rude." A female employee comforted from the side.

"Yeah." The male employee laughed.

Then the two walked into the elevator.

At this time, the experimental dog locked in the cage suddenly raised its head and looked at the ventilation duct.

Not long after, the alarm sounded, and everyone in the laboratory raised their heads in doubt, while some said: "It's okay, it's just a fire drill."

However, the next second, the fire sprinkler really sprayed water, and everyone exclaimed to protect the computer files.

Until this time, no one realized that the crisis had arrived!

The employees in the elevator also encountered a situation, and the elevator that was running stably suddenly stopped.

The inside of the elevator fell into darkness and panic, and everyone tried to contact the outside world, but found that it was of no avail.

What is even more desperate is that people found that this elevator was falling rapidly.

At the same time, there was a commotion outside the elevator.

All the passages in the laboratory were closed, and the water from the fire sprinkler had submerged half of the room.

People tried various ways to break out, but just as everyone was about to succeed, a large amount of poison gas was released, and all employees fell to the ground in pain and wailing.

Back in the elevator.

Just before the elevator was about to fall, it finally stopped. The employees who survived the disaster wanted to escape from this dangerous place, so they pulled the elevator door into a small crack.

A female employee with a search figure volunteered to stretch half of her body out of the crack.

But at this moment, the elevator that had already stopped actually restarted.

The female employee shouted in horror, trying to pull her back, but the elevator started to fall rapidly again.

Just before the female employee's neck was about to be crushed, the elevator stopped again.

The female employee trembled and breathed heavily, struggling desperately to return to the elevator.

However, the next second, the elevator restarted.

It was as if a child was operating this elevator, playfully letting the elevator go up and down.

However, for the female employee, this was undoubtedly a huge torture and cruelty.

But the torture didn't last long. The rise of the elevator didn't mean to stop. In the shrill scream, the female employee's line of sight overlapped with the top of the elevator.

After a crisp sound of bang, the screen turned, and a pair of black pupils opened suddenly in the screen.

Alice woke up in the bathtub, her smooth and white body only covered with a bath towel.

Climbing out of the bathtub, Alice tried hard to recall, but there was no impression in her mind, and she even forgot who she was.

Putting on a bathrobe, she came to the bedroom.

Alice saw the red dress placed on the bed.

Coming to the table, there was a note on it with words: Tonight your dream will come true.

Alice frowned slightly, still not recalling anything.

Pulling open the drawer of the cabinet, Alice was startled, because she found that it was full of guns.

Is she an agent? Alice thought so in her heart.

When she walked to the living room, she had already changed into the red suspender dress and a pair of leather boots found from the wardrobe.

On the cabinet in the living room, she saw objects related to herself again.

It was a photo of her and a man, and she was still wearing a wedding dress.

At this time, there was an abnormality at the entrance.

Alice turned her head to look: "Is anyone there?"

No one answered, only her echo echoed in the room, and the quiet night added a strange color to the atmosphere.

She opened the door and walked outside, finding herself in a forest.

The cold wind blew on her face, Alice hugged her thin shoulders, and her body trembled slightly.

Suddenly, a large number of birds in the distance panicked and rushed into the sky. Before she could react to what was going on, she was pulled into the room by someone.

The man who pulled Alice was a man. Before he could speak, a large group of police officers wearing STARS uniforms broke through the window, pressed him to the ground, and handcuffed him.

The man shouted that I was a policeman, but the STARS team members didn't pay attention at all.

Deputy Captain James walked to Alice, who was squatting in the corner, and pulled her up:

"Alice, report the situation!"

"You know me?" Alice was happy. This person could actually call her name. He must know her!

"What are you talking about?" James frowned and looked at Captain Wesker in confusion.

"The self-protection mechanism of the mansion has been activated, she may still be affected by the side effects." Wesker said, and then turned to ask the team members: "Have you found out the identity of this policeman?"

The team member replied: "His police ID is called Matthew Anderson, but there is no file in the police station."

Ma Te explained loudly: "I just transferred over, maybe the police station didn't have time to build a file!"

"Identity unknown, just shoot him to death." The black deputy captain took off his mask and pointed his gun at Ma Te's head.

"Forget it, take him down together." Wesker took off his mask and put on his special sunglasses.

The other team members also took off their masks, Jill and Chris appeared one after another.

Alice looked at these faces, and a few pictures appeared in her mind.

It seems that they really know each other.

"Alice, you have amnesia now, just follow me for this mission." Jill walked up, although the expression was cold, the caring words made Alice feel a warmth.

"Following me is also fine," Chris walked up, his handsome and firm face was full of security.

Jill chuckled: "Alice's fighting is stronger than yours."

Chris shrugged, noncommittal.

"Prepare to enter the Hive." Captain Wesker's bass-like voice sounded, and the STARS team members immediately cheered up.

The secret door of the mansion was opened by the team members, and the big door of the Umbrella Research Institute was opened in front of everyone………………
