zombie-themed film and television works have been very popular with audiences in recent years. The tenth season of The Walking Dead has been filmed, and even the fifth season of "Zombie Nation", which was broadcast in 2014, has been filmed at the rate of one season per year. It seems that these film and television companies with crooked fruit have really found a way to make money. Although I don't know how much the specific profit is, it can be seen from the speed of the update.
And this is only a TV series, there are more movies, such as the "Dawn of the Living Dead" series, "I am a Legend", "28 Weeks of Surprise", etc. These are all classic movies. The most famous in China is probably the "Resident Evil" series. Although "Resident Evil 1" was not released in China in 2002, the 15-year-old "Resident Evil" series is not low-profile in China. After more than ten years, how much has the "Resident Evil" series made?
"Resident Evil 1" production cost: 33 million US dollars, North American box office: 40.11 million US dollars, overseas box office: 62.86 million US dollars, global box office: 102 million US dollars.

As the pioneer of zombie movies in Europe and America, the development of zombie themes is indeed much higher than in other regions. "Pale Zombie" filmed in 1932 was the first horror movie with a zombie theme. The "Night of the Living Dead" in 1968 defined the generation of zombies: mutations caused by environmental pollution, biochemical leakage and other reasons.
Compared with Europe and the United States, Asia is not very good at controlling zombie movies. Of course, also because of cultural differences, the horror movies in Asia are mostly ghosts, wraiths, witches, and zombies unique to China. Until 2016, South Korea filmed Asia’s first real zombie blockbuster—"Travel to Busan". "Travel to Busan" scored 8.4 points on Douban, which is higher than 96% of disaster thrillers, which is 620,000. Comprehensive scoring. At the box office, the investment of "Travel to Busan" was only over 100 million won, but the box office revenue was as high as 93.1 billion won. Converting to RMB means an investment of 600,000 RMB and a box office revenue of 550 million RMB. The success of
"Travel to Busan" also allows the audience to see the difference between Eastern zombies and Western zombies. Compared with the cruelty of Western zombies, Eastern zombies pay more attention to portraying human nature. Kong Liu jumped off the train for his daughter, and Ma Dongxi chose to break the train for his wife. "Travel to Busan" shows the beauty and ugliness of people's hearts. This is not only a contest with zombies, but also a choice between people's hearts. The sequel to the fame and fortune of "Travel to Busan", "Travel to Busan 2" will also be released in the summer of 2020, but I don't know whether "Travel to Busan 2" can surpass the peak of the previous work. The editor expresses serious doubts.
Compared with South Korea, Japanese zombie-themed movies do not have the pinnacle of works, but they have a solid foundation. The animated films "Resident Evil: Curse" and "Resident Evil: Blood Vendetta" are all good zombie movies. Not only in anime, many people may not have seen the live-action zombie movie "Please call me a hero", but it is quite creative for zombies, and interested friends can watch it.
Because of censorship, there has been no real zombie-themed movie in China. But thinking about "Death Call" can be released in China, some netizens may think that this movieThe walking dead in the face is only controlled by a mobile phone, and there is no bloody scene. However, many netizens may not know that the film rating of "Death Call" is R (viewers under the age of 17 require their parents or adults to be accompanied). If "Death Call" is released because it is not bloody, it is acceptable, but the last two parts of "Resident Evil" are also released in China, which makes the editor really confused.
What do you netizens think about this? Anyone who knows the answer can give me some answers?
