Chapter 793 The Walking Dead

"The Walking Dead" is released at midnight in the United States, making it more exciting to watch the movie at night.

Of course, this is a horror movie, and it will be more exciting in a quiet night.

And here in China it's noon.

However, because it is broadcast on Netflix, most people cannot see it.

As for the tools to circumvent the firewall, not everyone has it, so you still have to wait for the Chinese team.

However, because it is the most watched drama at present, many Chinese groups are staring at this piece of fat.

It is estimated that it will be broadcast at midnight, the translation will be ready at one or two o'clock, and the seeds will be made and spread all over the world that day.

Therefore, domestic audiences should be patient and won’t wait too long.

When Luo Quan was live broadcasting, fans tacitly agreed not to ask any questions about related topics.

Because this is a TV series she invested in and produced, it would be unreasonable to ask her to pirate it.

Luo Quan herself knew that piracy would spread sooner or later, but the general environment was such that it was hard for her to say anything, and it would be useless if she did.

With the official launch of The Walking Dead, Netflix's web pages and mobile apps have experienced varying degrees of lag.

This is a phenomenon caused by the influx of a large number of users at the same time, causing the server to be overloaded.

Fortunately it didn't last long, only a few seconds.

Almost all of these influx of users are coming for The Walking Dead, and all operations point to an end point.

After clicking to play the video, these users closed the curtains in the room and ate popcorn and potato chips while watching TV series.

The beginning of The Walking Dead is similar to the first half of the trailer.

It uses the rout of the army to tell what happened after the nuclear peace in Raccoon City.

The United States has been infected by a zombie virus, and a large number of people have died and turned into zombies. How can mankind survive when it is facing annihilation?

This big question is condensed into a short but brilliant title sequence.

All plots unfold slowly through this title sequence.

The camera turned and came to a hospital with a mess inside.

The protagonist of the show, Rick, is the police chief of a small town in Georgia.

He and his colleague Sean were shot and fell into coma during a mission. When he woke up again, he found that everything had become strange.

The hospital equipment has stopped working, and the flowers placed beside the bed have dried up.

When he struggled to wake up from the bed, he found that the corridor was in a mess, covered with blood and bullet marks.

It was as if a bloody battle had once broken out in this hospital.

The person was gone, but in the room at the end of the corridor, he heard some noises.

Rick took a closer look and saw that the room was locked with a large chain, with the words "Don't open the door, there are zombies inside" written on it.

A chill rose from the bottom of Rick's heart, especially after hearing the unknown noise coming from inside.

Rick didn't dare to stay long and hurried to the street.

But soon he encountered zombies.

In his opinion, it was a walking corpse, covered in hideous wounds and exuding the smell of decay.

Although Rick was a policeman, he had never seen this scene before, so he ran away immediately.

On the way, he was rescued by a black father and son hiding in a building, and was told that the United States had been overrun by zombies...

On its first day online, The Walking Dead only updated two episodes.

But within three hours of being online, the first episode had more than 4 million views, and the second episode had 3.7 million views.

This means that the retention rate exceeds 90%, which is quite excellent for a TV series.

Of course, the popularity of The Walking Dead did not exceed everyone's expectations.

Because the two Resident Evil films are the first to play, it has a large number of loyal zombie fans all over the world.

Luo Quan also said that there will be no new movies in a short time, so they can only watch this TV series.

And coincidentally, the quality of TV series is surprisingly high, so it’s not surprising that this data is available.

The Rotten Tomatoes score is also out, with a freshness rating of 93%, making it a first-rate TV series this year.

There are more than 200,000 tweets on Twitter, and the number is still increasing rapidly.

Excited netizens commented like this:

“I originally thought The Walking Dead was a continuation of Resident Evil, but after watching these two episodes I realized I was wrong.

These are two completely different works. Except for the basic settings, everything else is different.

The protagonist of The Walking Dead is even weaker. Facing large groups of zombies, there is almost no other way but to run.

But this happens to be a normal situation for ordinary people when facing zombies. No one can kill everyone with two sand eagles like Alice.

There is no sense of fragmentation similar to science fiction movies. I got a more realistic sense of immersion from The Walking Dead, and the movie-watching experience is far more exciting than Resident Evil! "

“The point of this movie is so striking. In addition to the necessary element of zombies, this TV series is also full of humanity!

There are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the sun and the other is the human heart.

In the apocalypse, everyone has their own little calculations, and everyone wants to fight for their own interests.

But it is also in this environment that the collective spirit of the protagonist Rick becomes so valuable.

In addition, the performance of the black father who saved the protagonist in the first episode also made me cry.

Especially when he saw his wife turned into a zombie and aimed the gun but couldn't press the trigger, he was so entangled that he burst into tears.

I couldn't help but think about it, if zombies really come and our loved ones unfortunately become zombies, can we be ruthless enough to end their lives like walking zombies?

This is a difficult question to answer, and I think it is also a major conflict aspect of this TV series.

I'm so looking forward to the next content now. If I could, I would even pay a hundred dollars to watch the remaining episodes all at once! "

………………

Similar praise is everywhere in major foreign forums.

The Walking Dead's rating on Netflix is ​​9.6, which is higher than 99.9% of thriller and horror film and television dramas. The number of views has already reached 10 million, and it is expected to be reached in less than 12 hours.

According to this momentum, it will not be difficult for a single episode to exceed 50 million views.

If it can exceed 100 million, it will be the most popular TV series on Netflix.

In order to achieve this effect, Netflix began to purchase media reports and began marketing around the world.

This is what a popular work is, three points depends on quality and seven points depends on boasting.

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. If you don’t let others know, how can you attract people to come and see it?

Therefore, frequent purchases are the only way to create a hit product, although this kind of viral marketing will arouse the disgust of many people.

But as long as people see it and leave an impression, that's half the battle.

Thanks to Netflix's vigorous marketing, The Walking Dead quickly became popular in China.

In addition to the media reporting on its amazing achievements abroad, countless short video marketing accounts are also playing its clips.

In fact, although zombies are popular, they are not a big circle in the world, and their popularity and superheroes are not on the same level.

But this kind of novel horror character is indeed quite charming. The kind of appearance that is very similar to humans can always cause panic in the hearts of the audience when it appears.

So after these short videos were broadcast, a group of people were scared and curious, and asked which TV series this was from.

Then some netizens who know about it will answer in the comment area: "This is Netflix's new drama, The Walking Dead!"

This is how fame comes, through videos, news, and comments.

When accumulation reaches a certain level, an explosion becomes inevitable.

The reason why The Walking Dead broke out in China is even simpler, because pirated cooked meat finally came out, and the resources spread rapidly on major platforms.

Mainly in the form of network disk or Thunder seeds.

Of course, most resources are also this way.

In addition, various short video platforms have also released many five-minute and ten-minute commentary that will take you to watch TV stations quickly.

This is actually a very popular way to watch dramas in this fast-paced era.

An episode of TV series often lasts more than forty minutes, and some in Europe and America are as long as an hour.

How can a working man have so much time to read it all?

And this kind of commentary that only takes a few minutes to watch an episode is very popular.

As long as you find a commentator who has no accent and speaks at a moderate speed, it will be quite comfortable. If the voice is better and the commentator is more interesting, you can easily exceed one million fans.

These uploaders had financial strength, so they naturally watched the original version of The Walking Dead as soon as possible, and then recorded a commentary video and sent it to the country.

In fact, strictly speaking, this behavior is also a kind of infringement.

However, the state is not particularly strict in this regard.

Several domestic video websites have also sued for this kind of behavior before, which indeed caused the commentary of domestic dramas to disappear.

Then the up main door started to change the commentary to complaining, and they caught those garbage TV series and complained about them. The number of video clicks was still quite high.

As for foreign TV dramas, foreign websites can’t reach them anyway, so they don’t pay that much attention.

The uploading of these commentary videos has caused a surge in the popularity of The Walking Dead in China.

When Luo Quan went live the next day, all the fans asked her to talk about the follow-up plot.

"Would I do something like spoiler? You don't know how strict I, Luo Quan, am, right?"

As the producer of The Walking Dead, how could she do such a thing to stab Netflix in the back?

If this is a spoiler, the performance of subsequent episodes will probably be greatly affected. She did not do such stupid things to destroy her foundation just for the sake of live broadcast effect.

"I can only say that the TV series is very good and it is very popular now. If you like it, follow it and follow it, and then promote it more.

This will also allow us to increase investment when filming the second season, and the actors will be more active and enthusiastic. "

The barrage was a little helpless:

"What you said is as if you didn't say it."

"You really can't reveal it at all? I just want to know if Rick knows that he was cheated."

"It's ridiculous, the zombie TV series turned into a love triangle."

"Actually, it's okay. It's just the emotional entanglement in this environment that makes it more interesting."

"That crossbow brother is a bit handsome. Is he strong in combat?"

"Will the protagonists of the movie appear? Will there be a plot with the protagonists of the TV series?"

"I just want to know when your character Alice will be released."

………………

Facing the fans' questioning, Luo Quan crossed his hands and made a bleating gesture:

"Sorry, no comment. Don't expect to get any information from me."

After saying that, she still wanted to laugh a little.

The Walking Dead was filmed in the United States, and she hardly spent too much time abroad this year.

Do you think my Alice can come out of The Walking Dead again?

I have to wait for the second season anyway.

As for the protagonists in the movie, they basically pass by briefly without much plot.

After all, this is a TV series.

Under such strict protection, fans of the drama were surprised not to get any useful information from Luo Quan.

And not only domestic fans are disappointed, but foreign fans are also feeling uncomfortable.

And as The Walking Dead continues to be popular around the world, the zombie craze that had been extinguished for half a year has reignited again.

When Resident Evil first came out last year, there was a zombie craze all over the world.

Zombie movies and TV shows are being made all over the world, and the protagonist must be a scantily clad blonde action heroine, a.k.a. a bootleg Alice.

It's a pity that these movies and TV series with nothing new have not made much money.

The most striking contrast is that when Marvel movies became popular, there were all kinds of funny pseudo-superhero movies on the market. They hired a group of unknown actors to make a bunch of epic-level bad movies with the help of 50-cent special effects.

Among the representative works are Den Shen, Iron Man, Atlantic Rim, Sharknado, etc.

They are all bad enough to leave a name in film history.

Resident Evil is also honored to receive this treatment.

The large number of inferior products on the market has also caused the popularity of zombies to drop much faster than expected.

Later people discovered that it turned out that Luo Quan had to be the one to shoot it to have that flavor.

The rest of the works that follow the trend are not on the same level at all.

Although The Walking Dead was not produced by Luo Quan, the script was written by her, and she told the director in detail how to film it, so there wasn't much of a problem in terms of taste.

Therefore, it is only natural that the zombie craze is back on again.

However, unlike in the past, Luo Quan no longer left the great traffic unused.

Taking advantage of the global zombie craze brought about by The Walking Dead, the Resident Evil game released a trailer.

This is what she said during the live broadcast before, the game will be released soon.

Blizzard Studio has been developing it for more than half a year. Although it is smaller in size, the quality is definitely not worse than Final Fantasy.

Among them, character modeling, for most 3A games now, still relies on dimensionality reduction.

The female characters Alice, Jill, and Claire are even more beautiful.

A bunch of gaming lsps can't wait to add mods to these beautiful female characters.

In an era where political correctness is rampant, European and American games have not seen such a beautiful game heroine for a long, long time.

Tifa in Final Fantasy was the beginning, but this time Resident Evil is a further improvement!
