Chapter 1226

~14 min read 2,608 words

Abroad, there is a meme called "Luo Quan's Promise", which basically has the same meaning as China's "words must be followed". It means that as long as Luo Quan makes a promise, then no matter how unreliable it sounds, it will definitely be completed without discount in the end.

If she says swimsuit, it's a real swimsuit.

If she says release a new album, it's a real new album; she has never 'walked' (stood up) her fans.

So when Luo Quan says she wants to do something now, almost no one questions whether she can do it, but directly treats these words as a declaration of victory, because everyone believes that Luo Quan can definitely finish the 'boasting' she blew.

This is almost like a law of causality.

Now Luo Quan mentioned topics related to "Flood". Before this, she hadn't published such a formal article for promotion.

When the article was translated and posted on Twitter, countless fans couldn't sit still, howling to give Luo Quan a wave of performance and show their loyalty.

Don't look at the fact that she has been staying in the country all these years and hasn't gone out much.

But every time she releases a new song, it is released in Chinese, Japanese, and English together.

What does this mean? It means Luo Quan has always kept the fans abroad in her heart.

Moreover, her stream recordings have always been transported and translated, so except for less interaction in the stream, there is actually not much difference between domestic and foreign.

After all, how many stars are as free as her to stream every day to meet fans?

Usually, they are busy filming and recording songs, or rushing to walk the red carpet everywhere, all busy rolling in the vanity fair. Who would interact with fans every day like Luo Quan?

So this kind of 'streamer-style' star makes Luo Quan's fan stickiness exceptionally high.

It's equivalent to saying that she possesses the advantages of both top-tier stars and top-tier streamers, while not messing around or violating laws and disciplines like these people.

Such a high-quality idol, fans really find it hard not to worship.

Now that she has brought out a special effects masterpiece with technology leading the world, and the theme is also a very novel Eastern mythology, foreign fans have to support it even if they weren't very interested at first.

All along, what Luo Quan has appealed to fans is rational consumption, and she has never let them pay for her in the name of love.

Because this is what the idol requested, the fans have always kept this in mind. Except for the new album and the movie starring Luo Quan, they basically haven't consumed blindly.

But this time, Luo Quan actually published an article to promote the new movie, so from this moment on, the content in the article is no longer important.

They heard Luo Quan's call; Luo Quan needs their support!

Every star has their own 'fan circle'. It's not that Luo Quan doesn't have one, but she has always emphasized that fans shouldn't behave too much like a 'fan circle'.

What is a 'fan circle'?

It is blindness, fanaticism, and unreasonableness.

If there are conditions, the 'fan circle' will pay everything for the idol without complaint, and treat her as respectfully as a god.

If there are no conditions, then try every means to create conditions! And then carry out the above behavior.

Undoubtedly, Luo Quan's article finally made those hidden 'fan circles' of hers unable to pretend to be silent anymore.

The task is very simple: Luo Quan needs to climb the charts now, and the goal is initially set at 10 billion.

And our powerful idol Luo, the 'omnipotent goddess' Quan, has already managed 5 billion with her own ability. Wouldn't it be settled if the remaining 10 million 'Springwater' fans worldwide each bought a movie ticket?

There is no difficulty at all!

Subsequently, led by the Saudi tycoon fans, all rational fans fell into a fanatical state at this moment.

This Saudi Wang Chu can also be considered one of the most famous among Luo Quan's countless fans.

Luo Quan's first swimsuit, the unlock amount was 100 million US dollars, and this brother spent a large sum of money.

And the signed photos, same-style dresses, and photo albums that Luo Quan released later, he collected a copy of each, not missing a single one.

Some of them can only be obtained by lottery, but money can make ghosts push the mill. In the case of using 'money power', this little thing is still very easy to handle.

And this time, this Saudi Wang Chu generously took out 10 million US dollars to pre-order "Flood" movie tickets and gave them away for free on TikTok.

And the condition for free distribution must be that they are not Luo Quan fans to receive them.

This was requested by the Twitter branch of Luo Quan's global fan club, because die-hard fans will spend their own money to buy movie tickets. If fans receive the tickets, it will instead cause the total box office to drop.

It sounds absurd, but this is the 'fan circle'.

In addition, Luo Quan has actually always been disgusted with this 'fan club' thing. When she first saw this organization on Weibo, she ordered them to disband immediately.

It is mainly because she is worried that someone will rely on this organization to seek private gain, while at the same time kidnapping public opinion to kidnap the star's actions.

Don't you see, how many stars in the domestic entertainment industry are destroyed by their own fans.

So Luo Quan clearly stated very early on that she didn't need this thing.

However, she can ban it domestically at any time, but she can't do it abroad.

And the foreign fan club was established by more than a dozen tycoons, not for money or fame, just wanting to give 'Springwater' fans a big family.

Besides Twitter, they even specifically found programmers to develop an app, with organization and discipline.

Usually, everyone shares Luo Quan's beautiful pictures and the final stream clips in it. Now that they have encountered a situation, with one push and a call, the fans immediately know what to do.

Those with money give money, and those without money go to recommend it to friends and family. One can pull one.

When the masses are mobilized, the influence brought is unprecedented.

In one night, just one night, the domestic box office of "Flood" rose from 5 billion to 5.3 billion. This is still the night shift where the box office growth rate is the slowest.

At first! The masses who didn't know the truth thought it was 'shadow soldiers' watching the movie, and then the fans took photos to prove their innocence.

In the middle of the night, the cinema was full, all here to watch "Flood". It was simply a spectacle.

On the other side, the foreign box office rose even more fiercely than domestically.

Originally, the pre-sale box office was only 50 million US dollars. Under the call of fans across the internet, the pre-sale amount has broken through to 200 million US dollars.

And looking at this growth rate, it is estimated that there is no problem reaching 300 million US dollars before the movie is released!

"What kind of magic does 'Flood' possess?"

Foreign media, who had never seen this battle, reported on this phenomenon for the first time and raised such a question.

Actually, the box office performance of "Barbie" in the same period was also excellent, but its success was actually foreseeable.

First is the word-of-mouth fermentation. After Barbie was released, the box office continued to rise against the trend, relying on excellent acting and wonderful plots. Everyone was recommending it, so the box office went up all the way.

Secondly, it is political correctness. This thing, scolding is scolding, but it is still the wealth code of American movies.

The success of movies like "Black Panther", "Get Out", "Forrest Gump", and "Green Book" is the best example.

If the lead actor of "The Little Mermaid" wasn't too ugly, as long as a better-looking black actress was replaced, the box office could still sell well.

Combining these two advantages, the success of "Barbie" is not so hard to understand.

But what virtue and ability does "Flood" have?

It's not a big IP, and there is no political correctness. Even foreigners can't see the finished film, but they still dare to pre-order so confidently.

Why is this?

Of course, it's because of Luo Quan.

After so many years, Luo Quan is the only star who calls fans 'family' but has never pitted her family.

If someone else had her traffic, they would have started streaming to bring goods long ago.

Men, whether in terms of financial resources or willingness to spend money, are far superior to women.

Usually looking 'stingy' is just because they feel these products are not worth it. When they really encounter something they like, they never skimp on their wallets.

And Luo Quan is definitely the existence that all male fans like.

Of course, Luo Quan herself definitely can't be bought with money. She doesn't engage in any personal brands like other stars, and the clothing she endorses is mostly women's clothing.

In addition, she also sells milk powder, which most adults don't need even more.

This is quite embarrassing. Male fans can't spend money on her even if they want to.

If she is willing to bring goods, then the male fans who 'love the house and its crow' will definitely buy it out.

However, Luo Quan said in the stream that for products, the more middlemen, the higher the premium. There is no situation where things that have been poured several times are cheaper than buying directly from the original factory.

So in her view, streaming to bring goods is simply an act of pitting family members. What is the difference from the original TV shopping?

Selling it dead expensive, and the quality is poor.

So Luo Quan never brings goods.

Even the milk powder sold is only attached with Taobao/Jingdong links. Watching her stream can get some discounts, etc. This is no different from spending money to advertise on Douyin.

And now, Luo Quan, who has never brought goods, finally opened her mouth, intending to bring goods for her own movie.

Even knowing that they will be pitted, fans are still willing to jump into the pit regardless of their lives.

What's more, judging from the word-of-mouth of Chinese movie fans, this movie was really filmed quite well, and it is extremely likely not a pit.

Then it is even more worth it for fans to take a look.

Supporting the idol and watching an excellent movie is equivalent to killing two birds with one stone.

So the foreign enthusiasm for watching the movie is extremely high, and under the vigorous promotion of these fans, passersby who were originally irrelevant were also attracted, and they developed a strong interest in this magical blockbuster called "Earth's Number One".

The opportunity to bring out a phenomenal blockbuster is hard to find. Universal was worried about not finding a movie to compete with Warner's "Barbie". Now Luo Quan very thoughtfully sent the shells into their hands, so how could there be no reason to fire?

So the 'self-water' (organic) fans and capital exerted force simultaneously, suddenly making "Flood" suppress "Barbie" and become the most popular movie in Hollywood.

The fun part is that it is still a full day away from its release.

And for the first reversal of "Flood"'s domestic box office in many days, the entertainment industry, while shocked, also sighed at Luo Quan's appeal.

Usually, Luo Quan is lukewarm, as if the fans are all like middle-aged Buddhist old men, with no combat power and no consumption power.

Who knew that when they really went crazy, the battle was much more fierce than those 'fan circle' girls.

The movies filmed by those top-tier stars, the box office just lets the fans support one or two hundred million, which is the limit.

And Luo Quan, just domestically, rushed 300 million in seven or eight hours in one night. The gap is simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

Regarding this, Luo Quan's fans proudly stated:

"We just don't like to participate in those so-called chart-topping and data-brushing usually, which doesn't mean we don't have that ability. Luo Quan didn't call, which means she didn't need it."

"Now that she needs it, we have the ability to help her achieve this goal, that's all."

"Springwater fans are low-key, not dead, so don't look at the current achievements as too explosive; it's just a regular level."

"Domestic fans haven't really exerted force yet. In the middle of the night, some people are not convenient to go out after all. Let's wait until the weekend the day after tomorrow."

"Not only the credit of male fans, female fans also exerted great force."

"No matter if you are a man or a woman, as long as you are willing to rush the charts for Luo Quan, then you are a good brother and good sister."

"Speaking of which, now the movie looks like it has achieved remarkable results, doesn't Luo Bao intend to express something?"

"She has already started streaming; she is kowtowing and thanking right now."

"Really!"

"Go, go, go, hurry up and watch."

………………

"Thank you, fan lords." Luo Quan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then smashed the computer desk with her fist.

At first glance, it really looks like she is kowtowing and thanking.

In addition, there are also a large group of fans in the bullet comments sending gifts and opening 'governors', obviously feeling that buying movie tickets is not enough, and they have to send some gifts to make up for it.

But Luo Quan's 'void kowtow' operation immediately caused dissatisfaction among the fans:

"Just this? It's too insincere!"

"Kowtowing is boring; it's better to stream in a swimsuit."

"Haha, maybe it's okay to wear a swimsuit at the beach, but isn't it a joke to wear a swimsuit here? Do you really think that just because you are the boss, you can do whatever you want?"

"My suggestion is to hurry up and buy a plane ticket to the beach to play. This time everyone will definitely support you in 'fishing' (slacking off) and vacationing with both hands."

"Both hands won't do; one hand."

"Hmm?"

"Ah this..."

"Driving (making dirty jokes), right? I report someone for driving!"

"Doesn't this deserve a seven-day ban to show respect?"

…………

If it were usual, this kind of 'driving' remarks would definitely be banned.

However, her mood was very good today, so Luo Quan was too lazy to care.

She just said: "Everyone pay attention, don't be too excited and lose your sense of proportion."

Subsequently, Luo Quan coughed lightly and said: "Regarding this swimsuit matter, it has already been filmed this year. If I do it again, everyone will definitely feel tired of it."

"As for cosplay, Dr. Mundo hasn't been done yet, so it's not my turn for the time being."

"So I think it's better to focus the scope of sending welfare on the works."

"For example, in the second half of this year, how about releasing a big heroine movie starring me?"

"In addition, new albums, new games, new TV series, these will not be left behind."

As soon as these words came out, the bullet comments instantly boiled over.
