Chapter 1007: Misleading Release (Part 2)

On the 27th of the first lunar month, as people gradually returned to work, the cinema business lost the heat of the previous few days; although it was still during the Spring Festival period, the heat was not much higher than the off-season.

"Luo Bao seems to like releasing movies during the off-season."

A-Qiang is an employee of a cinema; he muttered to himself after replacing the poster of "Empty River Blue" with "Misleading".

As a ten-year fan of Miss Luo Quan, what A-Qiang likes to do most is to open Bilibili to watch her live broadcast or search for her live broadcast clips while slacking off at work.

Of course, what he hopes most is to see her in the movie; after all, he can be considered a practitioner in the film industry, although he is only responsible for hanging posters and selling popcorn.

It is a pity that Miss Luo Quan has not starred in a movie for a long time; this time she is the director, and there is not even a cameo appearance.

However, A-Qiang still intends to support his idol with a movie ticket after getting off work.

Originally, he planned to ask for leave today, but A-Zhen had a blind date, A-Hua returned to her mother's home, and A-Wei was sick; if he asked for leave again, there would be no one left to use in the cinema.

So the manager didn't approve it, and A-Qiang could only helplessly wait to watch "Misleading" after getting off work.

After the poster was posted, A-Qiang returned to his post and started making popcorn.

Customers also walked into the cinema one after another, naming "Misleading".

In fact, "Chinese Ping Pong" released on the same day also had quite a few screenings, but there were not many customers who wanted to watch it.

"What era is it, still filming traditional main melody." A-Qiang heard the ticket sales situation of the first hour of opening from A-Fang at the ticket office and mocked with a smile.

This movie makes people lose interest just by hearing the name; it failed to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year to cut leeks, and dragging it to now to go head-to-head with Miss Luo Quan, wouldn't it just be a dead end?

After slacking off for a while, the first batch of moviegoers came out.

Everyone was smiling on their faces; if they came with friends, they were also excitedly discussing the plot with friends.

Seeing this scene, A-Qiang called a boy: "Brother, how is this movie 'Misleading'?"

"Damn, Miss Luo Quan is really awesome; the final reversal is simply god-like, Xiao Yang is also god-like acting, and the final picture is simply beautiful to explode!"

This boy also looked like a fan of Miss Luo Quan; as soon as he opened the conversation, he began to describe it with gestures, like a madman with an overly exuberant desire to express.

A-Qiang couldn't sit still after hearing this; he had seen many people blowing the movie to the sky on Weibo just now, and even had the intention of leaving early.

However, considering the manager's violent temper, A-Qiang decided to play a trick and let his brother A-Hua replace his shift for two hours, letting him watch the movie first.

This matter was not the first time A-Qiang did it, and A-Hua also became quite skilled from the first time of being in a hurry.

After taking off his work clothes and giving them to A-Hua, A-Qiang rushed into the screening hall with his movie ticket.

Undoubtedly, this is another fan who has lost his mind because of Miss Luo Quan.

But it is precisely because she is good enough that she can make so many fans loyal to her.

This "Misleading", which took less than a month to film, is the best proof of her talent.

The box office on the first day of release was 280 million; this result is not even worse than the bunch of New Year movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

In the case of not knowing the quality of the movie and having no big-name stars, this is the box office appeal pulled up by director Miss Luo Quan alone.

This appeal has no prerequisites; no matter what movie, as long as Miss Luo Quan's name appears in the main creative list, then this 280 million is immovable.

If she also starred, I believe the box office would definitely be higher.

While the box office was selling well, the 'pocket' of "Misleading" also maintained a relatively high level; the post-viewing comments were basically praising it, and after Douban scored in the evening, the high score of 8.6 was also much higher than "Empty River Blue", which is also a suspense movie.

"How to evaluate 'Misleading'?"

In Zhihu, where nothing big happened for several consecutive days, finally welcomed a question with 20 million heat.

Fans who finished watching the movie now can't wait to tell passersby how good this movie is, attracting more viewers, so their desire to answer is quite strong:

"Not invited, spoiler warning, don't enter if you don't like it.

First of all, I am not a passerby, but a pure iron fan of Miss Luo Quan, and going to the cinema is also for her.

The good news is that Miss Luo Quan is not the kind of traffic that likes to cut fans' leeks, and this "Misleading" also continues the name of 'Miss Luo Quan's production must be a masterpiece' as always.

First of all, this is a movie with a very clear main line; it is the story of a mother and daughter accidentally killing a scum, and then the father helping the whole family get rid of the crime.

The reason it is called 'Misleading' (Accidental Killing), I think it is not the hammer that the daughter hit the scum from behind, but the scratches on the coffin board at the end.

It is very clear that the scum only fainted after being hit on the back of the head and did not die; the father buried him alive at the end, but at that time, the crowd was excited and no one noticed this detail.

Therefore, the father's perfect crime is ultimately imperfect, but it still helped the whole family clear the suspicion.

Up to here, all the emotions that were suppressed before were released with the heavy rain, how refreshing it is.

For the Spring Festival file that is about to end, "Misleading" is that perfect rest note; viewing recommendation index four and a half stars!"

Compared with the film review-style recommendation of the first answer, although the second answer is also a recommendation, the language is much sharper:

"Compared to "Empty River Blue", I think "Misleading" is more worthy of being called a suspense movie.

The so-called dozen reversals in the former, there are several places that are untraceable, there is no logic at all, belonging to the typical reversal for the sake of reversal.

Looking at 'Misleading', there is only one reversal in the whole text, which is when the coffin is opened for autopsy at the end; before the lens is given, no one would think that the corpse in the coffin would be a goat.

However, as long as people who watched the movie carefully will soon remember where this goat came from, and then associate it with the real burial place.

This is the characteristic of an excellent suspense movie; giving you seemingly irrelevant clues, and after the mystery is revealed, making you quickly understand what is going on, and making people feel reasonable and not abrupt.

So although there is only one reversal, the plot is still so ups and downs, gripping.

As for the rain scene in the climax, I think it is a very high embodiment of lens art, combining beauty and tension, using one sentence to describe it, that is 'hearing thunder in silence'.

Of course, this section can be so wonderful, besides the director's skill, Xiao Yang's actor-level acting also played a vital role.

Before watching the movie, if you told me he is a singer, an actor who just changed his career, I wouldn't believe it even if I died.

How can someone become an actor just after changing careers? Even Miss Luo Quan can't!

Undoubtedly, this is another talented player, and then very luckily met Miss Luo Quan, this good director, so 1+1>2 became logical.

Just now I looked at the total cost breakdown of "Misleading" published by Miss Luo Quan, totaling 72,651,145.14 yuan, from actor remuneration to daily box lunches and drinks, every pen is recorded in the account.

This is the cost of an ordinary suspense film; of course, because it is directed and written by Miss Luo Quan, the director's fee and screenwriter's fee are saved.

Like a director and screenwriter of her level, the fee must be exaggeratedly high, so it is reasonable to calculate the final cost of this movie as 200 million.

But the reality is that Miss Luo Quan only used an investment of 70 million to seconds a New Year suspense blockbuster with an investment of 500 million, and the shooting cycle was even shorter than it.

But even so, the movie that was seconded was already a relatively excellent movie last year, and others were even more unbearable to look at.

This makes us have to ask a question, where did all this money go?"

……………………

The second answer looks like it is praising "Misleading", but the last part reveals the real intention, which is actually asking the Chinese film industry.

The cost breakdown is now in front of everyone, and in order to ensure quality, Miss Luo Quan used big-name shooting equipment, and the remuneration is also at the industry-leading level, absolutely the conscience among consciences.

From here, it can better reflect how sufficient the efforts of other crews in cutting corners are, and the Chinese film industry will decline.

The good news is that for fans and passersby, they still have Miss Luo Quan.

Before, she boasted that she could film three movies with an investment of 500 million; now the first one has come out, the first-day box office is close to 300 million, and the final box office is predicted to be no less than 2 billion.

The box office of "Empty River Blue" was only over 4 billion; converted, she only needs to film one more to complete the task, so the real situation is even more exaggerated than when she boasted.

Although this kind of thing is not a big happy event worth celebrating for Miss Luo Quan, the live broadcast room is still full of gongs and drums, and fans gave her a late New Year greeting with red lantern barrages.

"Alright, isn't it normal to achieve such results? I haven't even released the real big move yet.

Now that I have only filmed one movie and completed nearly half of the task goal, doesn't that mean filming one more is enough?"

Miss Luo Quan was curled up in a recliner with half her body, her two legs propped high up on the computer desk, triumphantly wiggling her toes.

She said it was normal, but her face was full of "hurry up and praise me".

However, Miss Luo Quan's fans have always liked to go against her; seeing her a bit floating, they immediately started to deny:

"Just a little achievement and you're starting to pretend, right?"

"Maybe the next movie will lose money; it's not like there aren't movies that lose 400 million at once in the film circle."

"I have decided, in order to let Luo Bao film three movies, I will watch pirated copies of the second movie."

"Good idea, let Miss Luo Quan's second movie flop, wouldn't that allow for a third one?"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

……………………

In order to let Miss Luo Quan eat 'shie', these fake fans in the barrage can do anything; they even started ten thousand people blood-writing to watch pirated copies.

If it were other celebrities, they might treat this as a small joke between fans and celebrities.

But Miss Luo Quan knows that these guys can really do this kind of thing.

Just like when she raised 100 million US dollars, even if it is the most popular traffic celebrity now, they dare not guarantee that they can raise 100 million RMB from fans.

But Miss Luo Quan's fans really gathered it together; this is the execution power of 'Quan' fans.

So since then, Miss Luo Quan has never said to fans: I bet you can't do it.

Because once an outrageous bet is given, the fans will really teach her how to be a person.

However, this time, facing the fans' threat, Miss Luo Quan looked very calm: "I don't suggest everyone do group piracy to watch the third movie, because the next movie will be very worth watching.

Of course, if you really want to watch pirated copies, you have no choice; after all, this matter is not illegal."

Fans heard this and immediately sent a barrage:

"So you are begging us?"

"If you are willing to cosplay a bunny girl, then I can brush the second movie three times!"

"I brush five times!"

"I ten times!"

"Damn, why is your will not firm at all? Just cosplaying a bunny girl and you are satisfied? How can you not have a swimsuit photo?"

"Robbing while the fire is burning, but I like it."

………………

Facing the ulterior motives of a few fans, Miss Luo Quan did not choose to compromise: "Everyone, don't be led astray and learn bad things by some fans; the movie is for you to watch; if you think it's good, go watch it, not because you want me to do something to choose not to watch it.

And have I ever pitted you when I filmed a movie? It's definitely worth the ticket price, right?"

The barrage immediately replied:

"If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten; do you dare to say "Resident Evil" didn't pit us?"

"It's quite good, where is it pitting people?"

"New fans don't know, old fans explain, this movie had a poster at the beginning, the overall layout looked like Luo Bao was not wearing clothes."

"Is it the segment in the bathtub at the beginning of the movie?"

"Haha, I was also aiming for this poster at the beginning, but who knew it was hanging sheep's head and selling dog meat."

"Haha, does this count as defrauding consumers?"

"Of course it counts! What I want to see is Luo Bao's nude scene, and you just give me this?"

"It is indeed fraud."

……………………

Facing the fans' accusations, Miss Luo Quan also became a bit blushing: "Can this matter be blamed on me? Isn't that the problem of the publicity side?

I have never said that there are nude scenes in Resident Evil, only mentioned that there will be large-scale shots; this cannot be considered my pot!"

"Luo Bao is starting to be stubborn."

"Alright, that's about it; if Luo Bao, who has turned on the stubborn mode, is questioned again, after the aggressiveness is maxed out, she will turn into a beast."

"It's okay, let new fans see what a human mother tyrannosaurus is."

"Haha, not necessarily, not necessarily."

"Besides, if you say it again, I will ban you for a month, let you know who is in charge of Bilibili!"

………………

Fans just want to interact with Miss Luo Quan in this way; although the aggressiveness is a bit high, there is no too much malice.

However, Miss Luo Quan is no longer a grumpy young person, and she doesn't fall for this level of provocation. ===== CHAPTER 1008 =====
