Chapter 1227

PS: Wishing all book friends happiness and health during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and a happy family reunion!

Main text:

"Luo Quan actually possesses a huge fan circle, it's just that she usually disdains to use it."

This is an article on Zhihu, analyzing why the box office of "Flood" had an abnormal increase this time, and finally concluding that it was not the viewing wave brought by the continuous fermentation of word-of-mouth that everyone thought.

It was just Luo Quan waving her arms and shouting, and then the fans responded to her call.

It might sound incredible, but this is the fact.

In the eyes of the public, the box office appeal of top-tier stars is only about 200 million, and there is no more.

And Luo Quan gave everyone a good lesson, telling them what true fan purchasing power is.

And compared to the rotten movies filmed by traffic 'fresh meat', Luo Quan's "Flood" is too worthy of its ticket price, and there is absolutely no situation of pitting people.

However, this is just the beginning.

When the weekend arrived, many office worker fans finally had free time and walked into the cinema to send their movie tickets to Luo Quan.

This made the box office of "Flood", which had already reversed its decline, go to a higher level. This exciting news made Luo Quan play a song of "Good Luck Coming" in the stream. Those who didn't know would think it was New Year today.

"Luo Bao, pay attention to your face."

"The streamer only recognizes money; a little box office increase makes you this excited."

"You are at least a billionaire now; can you have some composure? Is this little money worth being this happy?"

…………

The bullet comments were quite disdainful of Luo Quan's celebration, feeling that it was truly too shameful.

"Damn, you guys have watched too many short videos and don't take money as money at all?" Luo Quan hummed two lines along with the song, and then said in surprise: "This is a box office counted in the hundreds of millions, and it is a reversal after being released for more than half a month. Isn't it worth celebrating!"

While Luo Quan was speaking, she clicked on the picture on the desktop: "By the way, there is a piece of good news to tell everyone. The second test of 'Fantasy World' is about to start. This time there is no limit to the number of people, paid deletion, for a period of one month, which is equivalent to one-third of a season."

"It can be considered as letting everyone adapt to the rhythm of the game in advance. After the public beta starts, there will be three seasons every year, each season lasting four months, and there will be big events."

When Luo Quan was speaking, the clicked picture also showed the time of the public beta, as well as some content arrangements.

It looks quite rich, but I don't know the specific details, whether it is fun or 'liver-breaking' (grinding).

But the quality of "Fantasy World" does not need to be questioned; it is definitely a good work suitable for all game fans.

Luo Quan then remembered one more thing and added: "In addition, I have another piece of good news here, which can be considered as giving back to game fans. After the server opens this time, there will be half a month of free play time, enough for everyone to clear the plot of the first season."

"Half a month is also basically enough for everyone to judge whether this game is worth your money to continue playing. Anyway, the monthly card is less than 50 yuan; you can't buy a loss, you can't buy a deception."

"As long as you don't think about having the combat power to beat other players in an instant, then this game only charges a monthly card fee, and there is no other extra expenditure."

This kind of 'sending welfare' behavior was of course met with unanimous cheers from game fans.

Luo Quan promised yesterday to send welfare in all aspects, and today the game part was realized. The action was truly rapid.

As for the big heroine movie and new album, although Luo Quan hasn't mentioned them yet, everyone knows that these will definitely be seen within this year, so they don't intend to urge them at all.

And Luo Quan didn't mean to sell any suspense at all. After finishing the game, she started talking about the movie: "This movie I'm going to star in has actually been conceived for quite a long time."

"The inspiration for the movie comes from 'Deep Sea', but not the redemption version, but the emo version."

When Luo Quan released "Deep Sea", there were two versions in total. Different versions had quite large differences in musical style and lyrics.

One is thorough sadness; listening to it too much makes people easily depressed.

The other is based on sadness, and finally brings encouragement and hope to continue walking forward.

Most fans prefer the redemption version because people are more eager for light. Even if they are in hell, they have a heart that yearns for heaven.

However, people cannot always look up; most of the time they can only look straight ahead and walk on.

And when the fans heard the source of Luo Quan's movie inspiration, it was actually the emo version of "Deep Sea", their mood immediately became uneasy:

"Luo Bao, didn't we agree not to film sad stories? Watching 'Farewell My Concubine' last time made me miserable."

"Luo Bao, you said yourself that you don't like tragedies. Why are you breaking your promise now?"

"Actually, tragedy is fine, just don't give me plot kills or mindless sadness. That kind of 'Farewell My Concubine' is quite good; there is a kind of despair that you know the ending but cannot change."

"I don't know what the theme is, domestic background or foreign background?"

………………

Regarding the information about the new movie, the fans had a lot to ask. Luo Quan thought for a while and answered: "The movie is a realistic theme. As for the background, let's make it an overhead Asian one. It's a small town by the sea, and everyone speaks Chinese."

"Besides that, this story will have a tragic ending, but the previous parts will definitely be a bit heartbreaking. If it's a fan who can't bear the 'abuse of the protagonist', it's best not to watch it, because the movie will make people feel very uncomfortable from the beginning."

"Ho, it's quite common to pull people into the cinema; it's the first time I've seen someone driving people out of the cinema."

"Hehe, the more you say that, the more I want to go and see what kind of movie it is."

"My heart has been tempered like steel and iron; what else can hurt me? Be more abusive, otherwise it really can't cause my emotional fluctuations."

"One by one blowing it up, don't really cry like a dog in the cinema."

"Luo Quan's tear-jerking power is not blown out; how many people did 'Farewell My Concubine' cry at the beginning?"

"Tragedies often give birth to great works. I hope Luo Quan can bring everyone a surprise this time."

"Speaking of which, since you went to the seaside to film, there should be swimsuits and the like, right?"

"Indeed, since it's this filming background, is it really appropriate not to do some 'whole-activity'?"

………………

Fans are always like this, regardless of men or women, they open their mouths and ask for welfare.

Boys can still be understood; it's natural.

The key is that there are quite a lot of girls here joining in the fun, which makes Luo Quan speechless. She never imagined that there are so many girls also coveting her body.

But this time, Luo Quan answered with a smile: "Believe me, even if I wear a swimsuit this time, you won't feel it's pleasing to the eye."

"The specific reason can't be explained in one or two sentences. I just hope that fewer people will cry when the time comes."

"In addition, the movie will strive to be released before New Year's Day, so as not to let everyone complain that I took out a tragedy to celebrate the New Year for everyone."

These words directly made the fans laugh:

"So you know it too?"

"Other directors in the Spring Festival file are trying their best to make the audience laugh, and you are the first one who wants to make everyone cry."

"If 'Farewell My Concubine' was released after the Spring Festival file, the box office wouldn't be just that little."

"Art film is normal. Other art films can be very top with one or two hundred million, but 'Farewell My Concubine' is over a billion, currently ranking first among domestic art films."

"Still very curious about what the content of this movie will be, to make Luo Bao say such a sad description, making me a bit afraid to watch it."

"Born with rich emotions, but I tend to cry if it's a bit sad, so I generally don't watch similar movies. However, since Luo Quan is starring this time, then I definitely can't miss it."

"Looking forward to Luo Bao's performance. After the movie is filmed, it will be released in China and the United States together. Let's see if we can get another Oscar Best Actress."

"In that case, Luo Bao will have three Oscar Best Actresses, the first person since the new century!"

"Oscar Best Actress is not so easy to get, but the good news is that there don't seem to be many competitors this year."

"If she really wins the third Oscar Best Actress, how sensational it would be."

"The first actress of the new century, at least in Hollywood it is like this."

"I feel that in terms of artistic attainments, it is still not as good as the three major film festivals. Oscars are ultimately a bit commercial."

"Does Luo Bao lack art now? The legendary nature brought by three Oscar Best Actresses is obviously more important, okay."

"Indeed, Luo Bao no longer needs Venice or Cannes to prove her acting skills. Conversely, these film festivals need Luo Bao to prove their gold content."

"Unfortunately, if you choose Oscars, you can't choose the three major ones. You can't have both fish and bear's paw."

"Luo Bao is still young. After a few years, she will accumulate a few more handed-down works. By then, the three major film festivals will know how to have both."

"Indeed, maybe they will give her a lifetime achievement award or something by then."

"Hahaha, a lifetime achievement award at thirty, unprecedented."

"Luo Bao has such strength; just look forward to the new movie."

………………

The fans are full of confidence in Luo Quan's new movie. Looking at the description, everyone knows that Luo Quan intends to take the art route this time.

Art movies, whether in the three major ones or the Oscars, are the movie types most likely to win awards.

Stereotypes exist in any industry.

And regarding the stereotype of movies, it is that commercial movies are difficult to have depth, because commercial movies need to make the audience feel cool, be popular and easy to understand, and can be understood without too much brain power.

So under such a premise, the plot cannot have too many things for the audience to think about.

It must be shallow, straightforward, and make people understand the funny points or high-energy points at once.

This limitation also makes it difficult for commercial movies to have depth while taking into account popularity.

The word 'commercial' determines that the movie must ensure the former, so that it can make money.

So, the Oscar selection committee hates commercial movies, feeling that this type is difficult to produce good movies.

So like "Titanic", a commercial blockbuster with depth can sweep so many awards, because movies like this are really too few.

So if you want to win an award, choose art movies first.

And the good news is that because the name Luo Quan is too valuable, and it is the first big heroine movie in theaters after more than a year, there are still quite a lot of fans willing to pay for her.

Actually, sometimes think about it, being a fan of Luo Quan is quite money-saving.

Other stars, singers hold concerts every few days, tickets are often thousands or even tens of thousands, and there are various peripherals, chart-topping, and endorsed products.

Even fans occasionally have to crowd-fund to rush some data for the idol. If you don't have some savings, you really can't afford to chase stars.

If it is a traffic star, the expenditure is even greater.

Not only do you have to spend money on the star, but you also have to spend money on the star's fan leaders, and the price is dead high.

And Luo Quan, how long has it been since she held a proper concert? It's all borrowing other people's stages, and she holds a concert by the way. The price is also low and friendly to the people, and she often gets high until the early morning. The time is far longer than other singers.

As for endorsements, it can only be said that Chanel really doesn't pit the poor. Poor brothers can't afford it at all. This point is also really conscientious.

Besides these, letting her release an album all year round is like begging the God of Wealth to get rich overnight; it's so difficult.

So all year round, what needs to be spent on Luo Quan is just a few dozen yuan for the album and a few dozen yuan for the movie ticket.

And what you get is a super popular idol who can chat with you almost every day.

Even 'white-piao' (free-riding) is okay. Luo Quan will never take the initiative to ask for gifts.

Even if she calls on everyone to watch the movie this time, it is said that you should go if you are interested, which is essentially different from sending gifts.

So in the case of spending so little, even if they have already paid for a movie ticket, most people are still willing to pay for the second one. As long as they can see Luo Quan's wonderful performance, this matter is worth it.

However, they don't know yet how much this movie will make them cry.

After the trailer was finished, the focus of attention shifted to the box office of "Flood".

After two days of saturation promotion, "Flood" was officially released in North America.

Both Canada and the United States can buy tickets to watch.

Because of the explosion of the "Flood" section on American internet forums, plus the all-out recommendation of Luo Quan's die-hard fans, after "Flood" was released, the popularity can only be described as explosive.

Long lines were blocked outside major cinemas. When reporters asked, almost all of them were here to watch "Flood".

Some domestic media quickly noticed this point and immediately sent the interview footage back to the country.

These foreigners in the video, in a mixed Chinese and English way, told the reporter about a story in "Flood Mythology" with dancing eyebrows and eyes, among which many nouns unique to China were spoken out in broken Chinese.

Clearly listening to it is very funny, but it can always give people a sense of pride.

What is cultural output? This is called cultural output!

It's not that you bite the bullet and output Chinese culture, but let foreigners all spontaneously come to learn. Such output is meaningful.

And under such a wave, the first-day box office of "Flood" in North America, including the 300 million US dollars in pre-sales, finally reached a terrifying 430 million, breaking the record set by "Barbie" not long ago in one fell swoop!
