"zbie-master" has been the first Chinese horror film in history to be fully released in North America, or the first Chinese film in history to be fully released in North America.

In the previous life, "Hero" achieved considerable box office results in North America, but that was mostly because of Harvey's operation and Quentin's title. Moreover, "Hero" failed to borrow power from Quentin in this life, and the box office performance was very average.

However, "zbie-master", also known as "Mr. Zombie" is different from "Hero". Although it does not have the grand scenes and exquisite visual effects of "Hero", it is a classic movie that started a school in Chinese films. Its directors did not place hopes of winning overseas awards in it, nor did they think about taking the movie as a god. Its directors, its actors and behind-the-scenes workers, in the context of the booming Hong Kong films, just wanted to do something unique. I have to say that at this point, they succeeded.

"Mr. Zombie" has a complete character setting, a complete storyline, and a complete monster-killing system. While ensuring the integrity of these aspects, the film can also maintain a humorous and humorous tone. What is even more rare is Lin Zhengying's perfect interpretation of the character in this movie. His expression, his voice, and his every move will give the audience great trust, making the audience really believe that he knows how to destroy zombies and make the audience believe that he is really a zombie Taoist priest.

This movie created many miracles in the field of Chinese films, and created a new sect in the fiercely competitive Hong Kong film industry. Now, the movie is ready to make a splash in the North American market!

Since it is an old movie and it is not as familiar as an actor to North American audience, there is no premiere of "Zbie-Master". It will only be the first show released in the United States at 0:00 in the morning of New York time, as the premiere of the movie. North American audiences have long been looking forward to this movie, so the attendance rate of the premiere has undoubtedly reached 100%.

As the distributor of the film in the North American market, Lucas came to the premiere in person. He and several of his partners purchased tickets for consecutive movies through the Muying Ticketing System. He wanted to see what North American audiences really think of the movie. He needed to observe the audience to infer how great the potential of the movie was.

Many movies can guarantee full premiere, but this is not a box office big show. Many movies have extremely poor stamina, and the box office and attendance rate begin to plummet after a few days of release. Therefore, Lucas has no bottom line for this movie. Although he has some confidence, he also wants to know how much potential this movie can have.

How much potential a movie can have depends mainly on the audience's reputation. If the audience shows great love for the movie, then the movie will definitely become popular. If the audience does not buy into the plot of the movie and many memes, there is no doubt that the movie will soon be on the street.

At about midnight, the theater turned off its lights on time, and the audience in the theater were looking forward to this old movie from Hong Kong, China, produced in 1985.

The moment the movie screen lit up, the classic opening of Jiahe Company appeared on the big screen. For most North American audiences in the cinema, this is the first time they have seen the opening scene of this company.

After Jiahe, Baohe is Baohe, and after Baohe is four big words with miserable green words: Mr. Zombie.

Below these four Chinese characters is the English title of the same color written in a miserable green color: "zbie-master".

The miserable green words create a thrilling and weird atmosphere for the audience, making all the audience nervous and quickly enter a state of watching horror movies.

After the title and crew introduction, the first act of the film is Yizhuang, a unique place in ancient China and modern society.

In the dilapidated room in the picture, there are a large number of coffins. The apprentice played by Xu Guanying pushed open the door and walked into the charity house, lit a handful of incense, and called the ghosts in the charity house to have a meal.

Then, he said, "It's a guest who passes the door, you can eat first."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and lifted a white gauze tent. As he pulled open the white tent, a row of zombies wearing Qing Dynasty official uniforms and yellow talismans on their foreheads appeared on the big screen in an instant.

If it was really the first time that the audience saw this scene, they would definitely be shocked by the rows of zombies. However, when these viewers in North America who watched this movie for the first time immediately cheered in surprise when they saw this scene!

"china-zbie!" Some excited audience suddenly exclaimed, and a burst of applause and whistle came from the theater!

Everyone has long been used to seeing cartoon versions of Chinese zombies in "Plant vs. Zombies Online". This time, I suddenly saw the film and television image of Chinese zombies on the big screen. Not only did I feel afraid, but I felt particularly friendly!

In fact, except for a very small number of Chinese who came to review the classics, other North American audiences came to visit this very distinctive Chinese zombie image. They were always particularly curious about this special zombie image when playing games. Later, they saw some netizens screenshots of movies online, and were even more interested in these zombie images and zombie movies. So rows of Chinese zombies appeared more than one minute after the movie started. This was really satisfying for them!

Then, in the plot, Xu Guanying was caught by a "zombie" in a coffin, and then a "zombie" jumped out of the coffin. Xu Guanying was so scared that she hurriedly picked up the demon-scanning mirror, and then counted the number of zombies. At this time, the "zombie" suddenly killed him back. Xu Guanying responded in a hurry, but was accidentally forced into the corner by a zombie. At this time, the "zombie" opened her mouth and wanted to bite her. Seeing that Xu Guanying was about to be bitten by a zombie, the audience was also nervous.

At this time, the "zombie" suddenly spit out a pair of dentures from his mouth. It turned out that the "zombie" was not a real zombie, but a junior brother played by Qian Xiaohao.

Although it was a false alarm, among the eight zombies behind, several of the talismans on the foreheads were accidentally removed. Then the zombies immediately recovered their freedom and began to attack the two of them.

Immediately afterwards, the two of them, Lin Zhengying, appeared and easily solved the zombies' trouble. This episode had a comedy effect. The audience was very interested in such a comedy scene. In the end, all the zombies were solved and were fixed by the talisman again. Lin Zhengying's junior brother took the eight zombies and rushed forward. When the eight zombies jumped and followed Lin Zhengying's junior brother out, a burst of laughter broke out in the screening hall again.

What’s even more interesting is that there is a zombie that can’t jump to the threshold anyway. Xu Guanying hurriedly came out to help, saying, “Old Man, I’ll help you.” While holding the zombie, he sent him out.

The first small plot of the first unit ends. The audience has already had a very intuitive understanding of this kind of zombie. In the subsequent plot, Lin Zhengying was invited to help the merchant Ren Master move his grave. During this period, Lin Zhengying mentioned the unique Feng Shui theory of China in front of the camera. Interestingly, the word "Feng Shui" also has a certain influence in North America. North America knows the "yin and yang" and "Feng Shui" in Chinese culture, but most people do not understand the details. Lin Zhengying briefly introduced some Feng Shui in the plot. This plot also made North American audiences watch it with relish. Although they can't understand, they can know that the tombs in China also pay great attention to Feng Shui. Good Feng Shui can bless the prosperity of descendants. If the Feng Shui is not good, it may bring disaster to descendants and even mutate the corpse.

This unique Chinese culture can easily allow Western audiences to see the characteristics and profoundness of Chinese culture after film and television processing. Westerners do not have the so-called Feng Shui. In their culture, the most metaphysical legend is the night of the full moon. Werewolf will mutate on the night of the full moon, and vampires will mutate on the night of the full moon. Apart from that, there are basically no other metaphysical legends.

The subsequent plot of "Mr. Zombie" combines the corpse of Mr. Ren's father, and the plot tells in detail the reasons for the formation of zombies and the methods to deal with zombies. Lin Zhengying said that corpses are divided into zombies and dead bodies, and people are divided into good people and bad people. People become bad people because they are not good at fighting. The reason why corpses become zombies is because they have an extra breath. People get angry, hold their breath, and feel stuffy before they die. This breath will make people continue to accumulate resentment after death and eventually become zombies.

The sayings of good people and bad people, dead corpses and zombies are very similar to the philosophical principles of the Chinese national culture. These principles are spoken through Lin Zhengying's language, but Western audiences are particularly recognized and secretly praised.

As for Lin Zhengying's approach of asking his apprentice to pop up the grid on the coffin with a mow, it also opened the eyes of many viewers. In their eyes, the mow should have certain metaphysical factors, which is the spear and shield of the Chinese legend.

There are also spears and shields in Western legends, but the overall rank is relatively low. For example, vampires want to behead their heads, devils are afraid of holy water, and werewolfs are afraid of silver weapons, and the overall rank is very simple;

The spears and shields in the Chinese zombie legend are very complicated. Not only do there are professions like zombie Taoist priests, but there are also complex methods such as formation. Even if you only make an ink bucket, you need chicken blood and ink, then make methods on these materials and then pour them into the ink bucket to play a role.

Although it seems cumbersome, when Lin Zhengying does these things, he has a magic power that makes the audience feel that everything he does is very convincing.

What's very interesting about this movie is that the comedy effect is particularly well created. When the brothers and brothers handled Ren's father's coffin, Qian Xiaohao met the ghost bride who admired him on the way home. As a result, the ghost bride sat in the back seat of his bicycle but was hit by a branch. When the ghost bride was sitting on the ground and felt wronged, laughter rang out in the cinema.

The structure of the film has always adopted the structure of comedy-serious drama-comedy-serious drama interspersed with each other. After the funny plot of the Ghost Bride, Mr. Ren's father began to transform into a corpse, and Lin Zhengying's method of Mo Dou also had a magical effect, leaving zombies with nowhere to escape for the time being.

Then, the two brothers and brothers arrived at Mr. Ren's house, but found that Mr. Ren's daughter's cousin had been coveting his daughter Ren Tingting for a long time. The brothers and brothers joined forces to use a small spell, pulling a hair from his daughter's cousin's head and adding a talisman to turn his daughter's cousin and Xu Guanying into a pair of "dolls" with the same action. Then, the two sides were coming and going, and laughing frequently.

This comedy plot is particularly exciting, and the entire cinema has already laughed. This kind of meme that "A" does and "B" follows it. It has been played badly in Hong Kong movies, but this is the first time for North American audiences to see it, so the audience is particularly buying it.
Chapter completed!
