Chapter 1135

The entertainment industry is small, and the film circle is even smaller.

A circle where you see each other when you look up and down, in order to compete for limited high-quality resources, these stars have had no less competition in the dark, and it is even more common to have contradictions and grudges.

Although the situation of tearing faces is rare, they will usually tacitly choose to never interact with each other, that is, not acting in the same play, not standing on the same stage.

For example, some star couples have divorced. Originally, it was very awkward to meet. Some organizers, in order to make trouble, deliberately arranged them together, just for traffic and popularity, even if they were scolded afterward, they still had to do so.

Miss Luo Quan made some similar mistakes, so when several big-name stars knew that their rivals also participated in the movie, they immediately refused Miss Luo Quan's invitation.

In this situation, it was indeed a bit inconsiderate, and she also apologized immediately.

However, these stars who felt offended had a very firm attitude. After accepting the apology in a lukewarm way, there was no follow-up.

After such a thing happened, Miss Luo Quan could only adjust her strategy. When inviting actors, she tried to pick second- and third-tier actors with good reputation.

These stars wouldn't refuse to be on the same stage with anyone. After all, they didn't have the right to choose, and the initiative was in Miss Luo Quan's hands.

Although in terms of initial fan effect, it might not be as good as those first-tier big-name stars, the effect on passerby popularity might be even better.

Spending a whole day, Miss Luo Quan settled all the casting and signed the contract.

For such a commercial movie, naturally, the publicity and distribution must be in place.

So she held a press conference and invited all the main creators.

Although the main creators had just received the script and some hadn't started reading it, fortunately, this press conference was completely dominated by Miss Luo Quan, and the reporters were basically making efforts towards Miss Luo Quan alone.

Occasionally, there would be a few questions to Teacher Ni Xuejian and Wang Xiaoning, asking what expectations they had for their first cooperation with Miss Luo Quan.

They are all old people in the acting circle. Of course, they said all kinds of beautiful words without leaking. In short, just look forward to it.

And the reporters asked Miss Luo Quan mainly about the hardware aspects of the movie, such as how much she planned to invest, how long the filming cycle was, when it would be released, etc.

Miss Luo Quan faced the camera and talked eloquently: "The investment in "Primordial" this time, clothing, food, and housing all strive for excellence. The initial budget is around 500 million, but I estimate that it will probably not be enough, so I will add some budget later.

How much it will cost specifically will have to wait until the movie is released to calculate.

Besides, this movie will have more than half of the content using special effects shots, so for the audience, it will definitely be a visual feast."

"Then what about you? What role will you play in the movie?" The reporter continued to ask.

"It seems there is no role suitable for me in the first part of 'Primordial'." Miss Luo Quan's tone was a bit regretful, and then she raised her tone: "However, I might appear in the subsequent series, mainly depending on the situation at that time."

"Then what is your box office expectation for this movie?"

"Because it's the first time filming a special effects blockbuster, let's set a relatively conservative number, 3.5 billion." Miss Luo Quan said her expectation in a very conservative tone.

She sincerely felt that this "Primordial Mythology" could have 3.5 billion, which was already very good.

As a result, everyone else on the scene was leaning back tactically, saying one after another that your goal was too Versailles.

How many blockbusters can have a box office of 1 or 2 billion is already burning high incense. You opened your mouth to 3.5 billion; you really don't treat money as money.

Miss Luo Quan chuckled twice without refuting.

But in her heart, she calculated that 3.5 was already low. If she wasn't afraid that they would think she was crazy, she would have opened her mouth to 4.5 billion directly.

However, the more this kind of behavior of showing off unintentionally, the easier it is to cause topics.

Soon, a news story "Miss Luo Quan's New Movie Points to 3.5 Billion Box Office" made it to the trending list.

Self-media marketing accounts are always much faster than these serious media.

The official draft hadn't been written yet, and the self-media had already made it to the trending list.

"As expected of Miss Luo Quan, crazy enough!"

"Don't frame her wrongly. That was stepping on a screw; there was no other way. Luo Bao is not a foot-picking man."

"Will this cow be blown a bit too big?"

"A long-time fan of Miss Luo Quan says a word: her tone really isn't showing off, and it's even quite humble and cautious."

"Hahahaha, this is really thinking from the bottom of her heart that this movie will explode."

"Normal, has any movie she filmed not exploded yet?"

"No! Even the second release of Resident Evil got over a billion at the box office in the country. When it was released, the pirated version was already all over the network, and there were still so many people willing to buy movie tickets."

"Look at this cast, Ni Xuejian, Cheng Daoning, Wang Xiaoning, Cheng Kun, Gu Jun, I damn your brother, all big names!"

"Heard Miss Luo Quan is also going to participate, but it seems she is not in this one."

"Haha, won't she go to act as Daji? Then King Zhou will be blessed."

"If it's Daji acted by Miss Luo Quan, then don't blame King Zhou."

"Not only not blaming King Zhou, I even want to be King Zhou!"

"Feel Miss Luo Quan guessed that we would guess she would go to act as Daji, and then she just wouldn't act."

"Then what will she act as in the end? Besides Daji, it seems there is no other suitable candidate. She can't act as Nuwa, right?"

"Nuwa is also good, can call mom rightfully."

"Against heaven!"

………………

I have to say, ten-year-old fans really grasped Miss Luo Quan's personality, knowing her true thoughts in her heart, and even predicted her prediction.

At first, she really intended to act as Daji, but thinking that Daji's scenes seemed a bit few, and there would be nothing to film after the Investiture ended.

For the sake of the box office, she planned to act as a character with more scenes and occasional appearances.

After Daji and Nuwa couldn't be chosen, Miss Luo Quan quickly set her sights on another character.

Strictly speaking, this character cannot be counted as a complete woman, but in most people's impression, she appeared in front of everyone in the image of a woman, so interpreting it as a woman would not have too much discord.

And because of the setting, even if she came to perform, she wouldn't be criticized too much because of her appearance. At worst, put on heavy makeup and be a bit more oriental.

Looking at the fans on the internet who thought they had guessed her thoughts, Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but hook up a smile.

Predicting her prediction is not that simple.

After all, she hasn't officially announced the role she wants to play until now, and she can change her mind at any time.

"Old sister, what role can I get?" In the living room, Gao Liang walked over, his tone very excited.

Before Miss Luo Quan filmed a movie, he didn't get a single role.

But that was because she was filming "Tiny Times" and had no time, so that was it.

But he has been quite free these few days and has time until the end of the year.

Now that the old sister has such a good project, no matter what, he has to make a cameo in it.

Moreover, he is very interested in the setting of the Primordial World. For this reason, he even translated the video of the old sister's "Livestream Preaching" into English and sent it to YouTube, which has already gained millions of views.

Many people on the foreign network say that this oriental mythological story is comparable to the Cthulhu mythology in terms of excitement.

If the plot details and character portrayals are supplemented, it will definitely be a big hit, and even like Japanese anime, it might become a subculture.

Miss Luo Quan herself didn't realize this, but it was seen by Gao Liang as an opportunity to develop, so he only sent half an hour of content for the three-hour video.

He plans to edit it into eight episodes and send one episode every day to keep the popularity going.

Of course, he hasn't told Miss Luo Quan about these things for the time being, planning to report the good news to her after making achievements.

The urgent matter is to fix a role in this "Primordial" movie.

Lead or supporting role doesn't matter, just need to show his face a few more times.

"Of course, I have already arranged the role for you." Miss Luo Quan pushed the script to Gao Liang. "Kong Xuan, how about this role?"

"Kong Xuan..." Gao Liang recalled, and then a light flashed in his eyes: "Is that the big peacock known as the first person under the Saint? This is okay, I like acting as this kind of tough guy."

"It's just that the scenes are not particularly many. There is no you before the Investiture, and you can't see much after the Investiture." Miss Luo Quan gave Gao Liang a heads-up in advance. "If you want to show your face more, I can change a role for you."

"No need to change." Gao Liang waved his hand and said excitedly: "Just this one. I like Kong Xuan too much. Do I need to practice a few handsome martial arts moves?"

"Cultivating immortals, martial arts shouldn't be used much. The key is that the pose must be handsome. For you, this is not a difficult thing."

Miss Luo Quan chuckled and said to Gao Liang: "You should have no scenes in the first part. As for the second part, it should start filming in a few months. During this period, you should look at more peacocks and ponder the arrogant posture of a peacock opening its screen."

"Does this little thing need special pondering?" Gao Liang was very confident in his acting skills and didn't think fixing this was a difficult thing.

"By the way, old sister, there is one thing I must tell you." Gao Liang said, shining his phone screen in front of Miss Luo Quan: "I translated the video of you telling mythological stories and sent it to the foreign network. Now the click-through rate is very high, and it has already hit the YouTube popularity list."

"This is a good thing!" Miss Luo Quan showed a surprised look. "You kid actually has ideas. I didn't think about sending this out at first."

This is the truth. After all, this is a traditional Chinese mythological adaptation. The characters and allusions inside are all influenced by Chinese people since childhood, so they can understand it and there will be no problems in understanding.

But for foreigners, this is a completely new thing. They don't know most of the characters inside. Logically speaking, it shouldn't make them interested.

However, hearing Gao Liang say that the mythological legends she adapted seem to be quite popular abroad, this is something Miss Luo Quan completely didn't expect.

"We actually like this kind of setting-heavy mythology or novel very much. The most typical one is Cthulhu mythology. It is called mythology, but it is actually a book created by modern American writers.

Because the setting is too outstanding, even if no one has read the original work, it still attracts countless fans all over the world."

Gao Liang explained to Miss Luo Quan in a deep voice and showed her the popularity of the Primordial Mythology video on the foreign network again.

Now it's not just YouTube; Twitter and Reddit also have people carrying the content of this video.

These two apps have basically the same status as Weibo and Tieba in the country abroad, and both have a large number of users.

Twitter is a bit better, but Reddit's acceptance of Primordial Mythology is really too high. The number of comments on related posts directly broke through the sky, and it hit the hot list in the blink of an eye.

Because Gao Liang only released two episodes, now the bottom is all urging for updates.

American Tieba netizens are asking Gao Liang, this younger brother, to whip Miss Luo Quan fiercely and let her send out the remaining content quickly, otherwise she is not allowed to eat fried chicken or watermelon.

Can only say it is worthy of American Tieba; the quality of users is as low as Tieba in China.

This side is yin and yang, and the other side is directly joking about political correctness. There is no bottom line.

"Don't you have that three-hour big collection?" Miss Luo Quan looked at the urging comments on Reddit and looked at Gao Liang in surprise.

Also whip her fiercely? Really treat her as a cotton picker?

Gao Liang chuckled: "I divided the big collection into eight episodes after translating it. Now only two episodes have been released.

Old sister, look, it has reached this popularity in just two episodes. If it reaches the two big climaxes of Investiture and Journey to the West, how explosive will the popularity be?

One is the slaughter of two dynasties, and the other is a fantasy adventure of a small team. These are popular subjects abroad.

So my evaluation is, you can release some character concept maps during this period, the stranger the better. Foreigners just eat this set!"

"I now know why Cthulhu mythology is so popular abroad." Miss Luo Quan shook her head and smiled. "If I translate the Classic of Mountains and Seas and send it out, won't it directly become a classic?"

"Classic of Mountains and Seas, what kind of thing is that?" Gao Liang asked suspiciously.

Miss Luo Quan said seriously: "The first written mythology collection in China. Many allusions and characters in Primordial Mythology found inspiration in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, or simply used the content of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

If you want to understand Chinese mythology, the Classic of Mountains and Seas is a must-read, and its importance ranks first."

Gao Liang nodded excitedly: "Okay, I'll read it first, then translate it and send it to the foreign network as a literature reference for fans outside."

Miss Luo Quan rubbed her hands and said: "Then I will get the character pictures out here. Those monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, if they are really restored, they will definitely be more evil than Cthulhu."
