Chapter 1239

PS: Thanks to book friend "Masked Rider of Mercury" for the book coin tip, thanks for the support!

Just like that, after looking for a while, Miss Luo Quan pulled the curtains.

When you want to do some serious work, if there are several friends playing and frolicking nearby, it's really hard not to be influenced.

Even if you know the thing you need to do is very important, you can't help but look over there from time to time, and work efficiency will be severely reduced.

If a few friends shout at you asking if you want to join, the power is even greater; if it were someone with slightly weaker willpower, they might just push aside the work in front of them and run over to be happy.

So, out of sight, out of mind; Miss Luo Quan simply pulled the curtains to avoid being seen by them and then having them come over to pull her out to play.

Her willpower is excellent, but it's really hard to refuse their requests.

After pulling the curtains, Miss Luo Quan began to lower her head and write the script.

These past few days, the script for "Sea," which is to be filmed this time, had already been written; what she has been writing recently are scripts for some new stories and new IPs.

These ones filmed this year were already written at the end of last year, which is why they could appear so well-prepared.

And for the ones to be filmed next year, preparations must start at this time, to avoid not even being able to pull out a plan when a sudden idea arises.

It is precisely because there are too many words to write and characters to conceive every day that she blurted out the word "Mom" just now.

Not only movies, but she is also conceiving the plots for games and TV series.

Although they might not all be used, it's better to be prepared.

Besides that, the genre of the scripts needs some adjustments.

Before, when she wrote scripts, she had to consider both winning awards and box office; where the story background took place wasn't important.

But now it's different; after having the need to travel through movie worlds, the background of the story must be as powerful as possible.

Otherwise, after entering, even if you clear it perfectly, you might not necessarily get any benefits.

A world view like "Shrouding the Heavens" is quite good; it's always about suppressing an era, reversing the river of time, and dominating the universe.

The background setting can be called very grand in the entire web novel industry.

However, the impact of a background being too grand is that it's very hard to stand out after entering.

After all, in the Shrouding the Heavens world, geniuses walk everywhere, and Sages are no better than dogs; in the later stages, there are Ancient Emperors, Supremes, and the Dark Race, each more powerful than the last.

Miss Luo Quan feels that she probably doesn't have the luck of the Ye Heavenly Emperor, and most likely won't make it to the end.

Of course, being able to mix in there for a while is also excellent; what if she happens to obtain some opportunity?

So Miss Luo Quan is preparing to serialize the novel "Shrouding the Heavens" in the Universe next to see if there is any heat.

If it can set off a craze for chasing updates in the Universe, that means this book has the possibility of entering the Dao and is worth filming into a movie.

If "Primordial Era" can achieve success, that is of course better, and she can enter it directly.

But Miss Luo Quan feels this matter is probably not that simple.

In the following week, with the arrival of the crew staff one after another, the movie "Sea" officially started filming.

This is a story that is very sad until the very end; perhaps to give the movie more atmosphere, the expressions of the staff were a bit solemn, not at all looking happy about arriving at a tourist destination.

This wasn't requested by Miss Luo Quan; it's probably because the stock and housing markets have been falling quite miserably recently, and the economic downturn has caused everyone's pressure to soar, making everyone lose their smiles.

Miss Luo Quan doesn't know how to make them laugh either; she estimates that raising wages would work, but the wages she gives are already very high, and if she continues to add more, the costs will be uncontrollable.

Let's wait for a while; she doesn't know if it's because of not being accustomed to the environment, but if work is affected because of this, then she will have to consider using real money to motivate everyone.

While filming is happening here, "Primordial Era" has also been successfully approved in the Universe.

During this period, Miss Luo Quan looked for several companies to prepare for the promotion and screening work.

Upon hearing that it was a movie filmed by the Holy Mother herself, the owners of these theaters were all very willing to schedule screenings for "Primordial Era."

In the Universe, before all movies are screened, they will receive a rating from the Theater Union.

This rating is determined according to the box office performance the movie might achieve, divided into four levels: one, two, three, and four.

The lower the number, the higher the priority, which means the easier it is to sell big.

And the rating Miss Luo Quan received in the theater this time was second-class, which is not bad.

The evaluation given by film critics is that the setting is novel, the world view is grand, and it is a story with a quite classical flavor of the Holy Tang Dynasty, giving people a feeling of the Renaissance.

The disadvantage is that the special effects are slightly lagging, like cheap 3D game CG, the actors' beauty is also relatively low, it is especially regrettable not to see Miss Luo Quan appear, the costumes and props are also relatively rough, and it is full of a cheap feeling from the inside out.

The advantages are also very obvious: the camera movement and lighting arrangement are exquisite to the extreme, which can be called master-level lens language, and the actors' acting skills are all online, among which there is no lack of first-class actor performances, greatly making up for the roughness in production.

However, it is already the 2022nd century, and being able to see such a retro movie is really something that makes people sigh; if you like nostalgia, this movie is worth watching.

If you want to kill time, there's no need; wait for the movie starring Miss Luo Quan to come out, that's worth spending money on, even if the production is as rough as this one.

But the premise must be that Miss Luo Quan can show her true face; as long as this level of beauty appears on the big screen, it means a history worth remembering.

Because this will definitely become the most beautiful character in film history, and there is no dispute!

This film critic's article received likes from most industry workers, which is equivalent to highly agreeing with this statement.

However, after saying so much, it was a burst of praise for Miss Luo Quan, with things like "most beautiful in film history" coming out.

But the key is that Miss Luo Quan doesn't even appear in the movie "Primordial Era," so no matter how beautiful the director is, the audience can't see it.

Returning to the movie itself, the evaluation became mixed, and even between the lines, it felt like this movie was just trying to scam money.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan listened to the fans and thought that this kind of technologically backward movie could have a market in the Universe.

Now it seems she was too optimistic.

There are indeed people who are overly willing to watch it, but for most people, watching this kind of movie is no different from paying an "IQ tax."

Suddenly, Miss Luo Quan became very pessimistic about its prospects.

And the fact was indeed as she expected; after the movie was screened, the box office was less than one-thousandth of the heat of the same period, and this was only the first day of screening; if the first-day box office doesn't rise, wanting to rely on word-of-mouth fermentation to attract the audience is truly a difficult task.

What's more, the current rating also looks a bit low; everyone mentioned the problem that the visuals are too fake and the costumes and props are too cheap.

Miss Luo Quan was also very helpless seeing this.

There are so many levels of difference between Earth and the Universe; excellent movies from Earth, in the eyes of people in the Universe, are probably as funny as Earth people watching primitive people playing with stone sticks.

Getting such an evaluation is completely reasonable.

But what can she do?

This is already the best she can do at the moment.

If she were to upgrade the special effects in the Universe, the funds and time would be very high, which doesn't fit her previous urgent idea of wanting to enter the Primordial Era world.

It can only be said that she was indeed a bit impatient; if she could have waited another month or two to polish the special effects and costumes, the quality would definitely have been much better.

But now, regretting it is already a bit too late.

After the movie was screened, the box office was no good, and the rating was no good.

Not many people watched it, and it couldn't even absorb heat values.

The fans in the streaming room were indeed saying they would go watch it, but there were really few who actually implemented it into movie tickets; it can be seen that everyone is a "free-rider" party, their mouths are sharp, but who is actually willing to spend money for her?

However, Miss Luo Quan still wants some face; even if the movie flopped, she didn't call on everyone in the streaming room to go to the cinema.

Calling on them on Earth before was because she knew the quality of the movie was among the best in the market, and everyone wouldn't lose out by watching it, which is why she called on interested fans to watch it.

Unlike other celebrities who directly use tactics like "support xxxx" to carry out moral kidnapping.

Miss Luo Quan won't use the same trick twice on the same movie.

What's more, the quality of "Primordial Era" is indeed not good in the Universe; calling on fans or believers, isn't that scamming them?

So when the fans in the streaming room were laughing at her box office flop, Miss Luo Quan just laughed along and didn't impulsively mobilize the believers to let them, who are loyal, go to the cinema to support her.

At this time, a paid barrage also appeared at the top of the streaming room:

"Judging from the current situation, the movie should be a flop; this kind of subject matter and special effects have been filmed to death in the Universe; even with the Holy Mother's fame, it can't be supported, which is really sigh-inducing.

It is suggested to choose realistic subject matter next time, so that it can resonate with more people in the Universe; after all, everyone lives in a modern civilization that is highly developed, but those myths of the ancient times are already too far away and have no heat at all."

Miss Luo Quan sighed helplessly when she saw the sincere advice given to her by the fans: "I saw everyone saying this movie had a market before I brought it over to screen; who knew it would end up like this? It's almost becoming a stain in my career; now the internet is full of people laughing at me as a box office poison."

"Haha, the Holy Mother's aggrieved look is too cute; it's suggested to have more of these stains in the future."

"You guys are heartless; Mom is already so pitiful, and you guys are still kicking her while she's down, right?"

"Mom, I was wrong; how about I go buy a movie ticket right now?"

"What's the use of one ticket? You need at least over a billion tickets to break the doubts and mockery; the money now is probably not even enough for the advertising fees."

"That's enough; according to inside news, the theater knew the director was Luo Bao, so they directly promoted it for free, so Luo Bao's business this time is cost-free and definitely won't lose money."

"Haha, why does this sound even more ridiculous?"

"I don't know if this boss can be so generous next time; I hope it doesn't affect his piety to the Dawn Church."

"Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing."

"Be serious, be careful that Luo Bao will cry for you to see later!"

………………

Being teased by her own fans is a very difficult thing to handle, but Miss Luo Quan is already used to it; it's all for the sake of the program effect.

One failure cannot knock her down, but having always had smooth sailing and suddenly encountering Waterloo, this experience is really unpleasant for her.

In these years, the failures she has encountered can be counted on one hand, and this time in the Universe should be the biggest one.

And for those previous failures, she later managed to turn the situation around through hard work, so it wouldn't become a permanent black spot.

Except for that one time with the Abyss Maw.

And now, she doesn't even know how to remedy it.

Continue to let "Primordial Era" be screened? The reviews are mixed, and the points being criticized cannot be refuted.

Directly take it off the shelves? Then it would really become a laughingstock.

Now it's equivalent to being uncomfortable on both ends, and she doesn't know which way to go.

But the only thing that can be determined is that the movie "Primordial Era" is probably unable to enter the Dao.

Even if the sequels increase production costs and add special effects and such, it is estimated that they cannot reach the standard for entering the Dao.

A thousand words gathered into one sentence: the subject matter was chosen wrong; change it and start over.

Thinking of this, Miss Luo Quan took out the first ten chapters of "Shrouding the Heavens" that she had typed out these days.

"The 'Primordial Era' movie is basically hopeless, but I have a new idea, which is serializing a novel."

Miss Luo Quan said while opening the web novel serialization website with the highest popularity in the Universe, which is the End Point Literature Network.

This is the holy land in the hearts of all web writers in the Universe, known as the only way to prove the Dao and become a saint.

Whether a web writer can get recognition depends on whether they can become popular on the End Point Literature Network.

Being popular on outside sites is all fake; only the results on End Point have the most gold content.

Therefore, any web writer with a little ambition will choose to post here.

It's just that those who can truly write are always a very small minority; the vast majority are two types of "flops."

One type is the flop who gets "castrated" (discontinued) before writing tens of thousands of words, and the small flop who finishes at light speed not long after going online.

Before picking up the pen, many people dream of getting rich with one book, but the reality is that after uploading their articles, they find they can't even gather ten readers; more often than not, there is only one reader, and that is the author themselves.

Miss Luo Quan, of course, couldn't encounter this kind of miserable situation.

After all, she is very famous now, and she is posting the book while streaming; it was approved in less than ten minutes.

"'Shrouding the Heavens,' this book sounds very cool just by the name."

"Uploading twenty thousand words in one breath, what kind of tentacle monster is this?"

"Is Luo Bao changing careers to become a web writer because the movie path didn't work out?"

"Let's go see how it's written."

"I'll directly tip ten million first, let's push Luo Bao to the bestseller list!"

"I don't know if Luo Bao can achieve success this time, or if she will flop again?"

"Can't you guys wish Mom well? You are simply a bunch of rebellious children!"

"As long as Luo Bao updates, I will definitely follow it."

"By the way, do women have 'castration' (discontinuation)?"

"I can't hold it anymore; just updated and already thinking about discontinuation, skipping the process, right?"

"Luo Bao will probably get angry again when she sees this."
