Chapter 1322: Ode to Joy

"This is definitely a new peak in Gao Liang's acting!"

A movie fan shouted directly at the phone camera after watching the movie, his exaggerated tone wishing that the whole world could feel the excitement in his heart at this moment.

He was not only a movie fan but also a film and television blogger.

Like most bloggers, he came to the theater as soon as "The Wolf of Huaerjie" was released, wanting to write a review immediately after watching it.

It had to be admitted that the beginning of the movie was still a bit boring, but it soon got better, and the speech part by Gao Liang was high-energy throughout.

This was definitely one of the best speeches on screen in recent years; he felt it could even be mentioned in the same breath as "Darkest Hour"!

And precisely because this part was too wonderful, he had been holding back the urge to shout during the second half of the movie.

As soon as the movie ended, he couldn't wait to open the livestream and tell all his fans his feelings.

And he wasn't the only one with such actions; just as he opened the livestream, a large number of good reviews had already been uploaded to Weibo.

"Being able to see such a wonderful movie in the first part of the year, especially Gao Liang's acting being so exquisite, is really exciting. I feel like this year's Spring Festival file will be a battle of gods."

"This movie shows the ugliness of capitalism in front of us without any concealment, letting everyone see what is called cannibalism. I think the movie is really educational; it is worthy of being a work used by Hollywood to satirize Huaerjie."

"Haha, when Miss Luo Quan livestreamed, she said the original script was as soft as cotton candy, and it only became what it is now after she modified it, so who should be thanked for having such profound satirical power, no need to say, right?"

"For this kind of subject matter, it still has to be us who shoot it to get into the three points."

"But I feel the box office won't be particularly high; it's like a biography, the plot has highlights but not many."

"The dialogue of the characters is the essence, and there are many dirty words in it. Does anyone know how many 'fucks' appeared in the whole movie?"

"Didn't count, at least three hundred."

"Too exaggerated, more than three hundred?"

"Only more, not less; the people inside wish they could add a 'fuck' to every sentence."

"Feels quite consistent with reality; when I play games with my roommates, it's also full of dirty words."

"Haha, seems like that's the case."

……………………

Undoubtedly, the movie received rave reviews.

On Douban, where foreign movie ratings are generally relatively high, the opening score of "The Wolf of Huaerjie" was 8.6.

Considering that it might decrease after the number of people increases later, plus the foreign movie filter of Douban, this movie's score being around 7.5 is considered to meet Miss Luo Quan's expectations.

As for Gao Liang's acting, Miss Luo Quan could only describe it as being able to retract and release freely.

The more manic he was in the front, the more peaceful he was in the back.

Two states in one movie is actually the key to him winning an Oscar.

What kind of skill is it to play a manic capitalist?

As long as you clench your teeth, anyone can have blue veins popping out.

Being able to change from a furious pervert to a refined gentleman, that is called skill.

Gao Liang did this very well; even from her relatively critical perspective, she didn't find any flaws.

So when the movie was edited, Miss Luo Quan knew that next year's Oscar Best Actor would definitely belong to Gao Liang.

And the hit of "The Wolf of Huaerjie" also fired the first shot of the Spring Festival file.

A large number of movies started publicity, attempting to break out of the siege in this fiercely competitive winter.

Good news: by the time the box office peak of the Spring Festival file truly arrives, "The Wolf of Huaerjie" will basically have passed the period when it harvests the box office most fiercely.

Bad news: Miss Luo Quan still has a "Prehistoric 2."

The first part of "Prehistoric" was last year's global box office champion, nearly breaking the box office record of "Avengers 4," and is one of the most profitable movies in the last decade, as well as a milestone in the history of movie special effects.

Just in terms of commercial movies, "Prehistoric" is just like its subtitle, achieving the creation of the world.

Before the release of "Prehistoric," China's box office peak was "Wolf Warrior 2."

And after the release of "Prehistoric," until a long time in the future, the box office champion is estimated to only be found in this series.

"Prehistoric 2: Battle of the Lich," the plot follows the end of the previous part.

After experiencing the Great Tribulation of Opening the Sky and the Great Tribulation of Immortals and Demons, the Prehistoric World ushered in a period of prosperous development.

But tribulations will always gradually breed in the prosperity of all things, circulating repeatedly, never stopping.

The Prehistoric era does not record years, and the Dragon-Han Tribulation has begun.

This is a great war launched by the three clans of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin.

The three clans fought to be the protagonists of heaven and earth, but in the end, they fought to a three-way loss, all falling into second-class clans.

Finally, the Monster clan and the Witch clan took the opportunity to rise, which also paved the way for the later Lich Tribulation.

Up to here, the prototype of the Prehistoric Universe has basically been completed.

Miss Luo Quan decided that this kind of great gathering-style movie should stop here for now.

Currently, there are quite a few characters with very high popularity, and it is completely possible to make individual movies to continue to enrich the character settings and worldview.

For example, Nuwa created humans and became a saint through merit, leaving behind two colorful stones after mending the sky, and later the Three Emperors of Huoyundong fought for the luck of the human race.

Just this one line is enough to make a trilogy.

In addition, the line of the Three Pure Ones, filming the process of them becoming saints and establishing the three religions of Human, Chan, and Jie, is another trilogy.

Besides that, the bitter history of the two Western saints, the encounters of the two great monster saints Kong Xuan and Kunpeng, the slaughter between Kuafu, Houyi, and the Golden Crow, etc., etc.

There is really too much that can be filmed.

It has to be said that the overall operation of the Marvel Universe in the first half is definitely the best of commercial movies.

They may not be the first company in history to create a movie universe; after all, before them, "Star Wars," "Alien," and "Starship Troopers" all used the worldview of the previous work in the sequels.

However, the Marvel Universe is definitely the most successful in this category of movies.

No matter how bad the movies in the fourth phase are, the first three phases are worthy of being called the god of gods.

First use individual movies to bring out the worldview and link other characters.

Then use great gathering movies to satisfy all fans' expectations; as long as this move is used well, the box office will definitely make a lot of money.

Unfortunately, even Marvel only replicated this routine three times.

Because the plot always has a time to end.

The enemy Thanos was paved for nearly ten years, and after the heroes paid such huge sacrifices to eliminate him, the story should have come to an end.

Even if more powerful villains appear later, it is difficult to bring a sense of urgency to people.

And the audience is nostalgic; so many popular characters died in the endgame, and the new phase cannot bring people back to life, so fans of course won't buy it.

Take Captain America as an example; the character was played so well and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Now you let a black brother take his place, you say who can accept it?

Not to mention that Iron Man, the most popular character, is gone, leading to the lack of a universal adhesive for all subsequent characters, which is also the reason why Spider-Man was sprayed so miserably.

Although the new version of Spider-Man has broken away from the classic image of the old version and is considered completely unqualified by many Spider-Man fans.

But if Spider-Man and Iron Man were really allowed to perform a drama of father-son affection and slow growth, it would definitely still be very worth watching.

Now that it has become like this, it can only be said that it is really regrettable.

Of course, no matter how bad Marvel is, at least it was brilliant once.

It's much better than DC next door.

After Warner got the DC copyright, they wanted to be like Disney and use the DC Universe to make money.

To be reasonable, DC superheroes were really more popular than Marvel in the last century.

Just Superman and Batman, taking them out, there are no opponents.

But Warner's top management is really pig-brained; holding a king bomb in their hands, they can still lose the game. Miss Luo Quan feels heartache just looking at it, simply wasting such good resources.

By now, the DC IP is already in a state of being unable to return, and whoever dares to touch it again will basically lose everything, and it will also have a certain impact on their own reputation.

This is also why Miss Luo Quan is unwilling to intervene in any DC movie filming invitations other than Joker.

Joker belongs to an overhead world, completely not in the same worldview as the original DC Universe, so there is a lot of room for play.

If she were really asked to use DC superheroes to shoot according to Marvel, then she would rather die.

Destroying an IP is always easier than creating an IP.

And rebuilding an IP is harder than creating an IP.

So Miss Luo Quan chose a compromise path, which is to create an IP, which is the current Prehistoric Universe.

When the second part is released, the popularity of the Prehistoric Universe will reach a new peak.

Next, just strike while the iron is hot and release a few more individual movies; even without such exaggerated big scenes, it can still attract a large number of audiences.

When the brewing is almost done, release another great gathering movie; Miss Luo Quan feels that maybe it will directly break the movie history box office record.

Of course, the next Prehistoric movie is estimated to be two or three years later.

Miss Luo Quan didn't even dare to tell the fans this sentence, mainly because she was afraid they couldn't wait for such a long time.

Actually, the production cycle of a high-quality special effects movie has to be this long.

The trailer for "The Wandering Earth 3" also told everyone to wait for several years, and the replies received were all that they would wait patiently.

But if it is "Prehistoric," the situation might be a bit different.

Because fans are used to Miss Luo Quan's high-yield and fast-yield, watching a movie every two to three months has become a convention.

So even for a high-quality special effects movie like "Prehistoric," their maximum patience time is only a mere six months or so.

Now that it has been delayed by four or five times the length, this group of people will definitely explode when the time comes.

The good news is that she has already prepared the filming plan for individual movies.

When the time comes, put those popular characters out, and I believe the fans' anger will soon subside.

If it really can't subside, it doesn't matter; at worst, she will just stick out her big belly: "I'm already like this, do you have the heart to let me run around and work hard to film a movie?"

Miss Luo Quan rarely sells misery, but once she uses this move, it is absolutely invincible.

Not to mention that she is still pregnant with a baby now, the power of this move is directly super doubled.

So while the fans were immersed in the double joy of the release of "The Wolf of Huaerjie" and the approaching New Year, Miss Luo Quan told everyone the news that the filming of the third part of "Prehistoric" was postponed.

The words were said in the livestream room. Miss Luo Quan specifically looked at the barrage after finishing, and found that the fans' reaction was not very intense, and even very warm?

"It doesn't matter, it's fine if the movie is postponed for a year or two, or two or three years. The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, don't be too tired."

"Yes, Luo Bao, you are eating for one person and consuming for two people now, just lie down if you can."

"Agree, it doesn't matter if you watch the movie later, health is important."

………………

Miss Luo Quan was stunned when she saw these words. Are these still the fans she knows?

"When did you change your nature to this extent?" Miss Luo Quan opened her mouth in surprise, "In the past, when I said postponement, you wished I would work 24 hours a day to get things done. Now you have become so easy to talk to. It's simply incredible. Is the power of the baby really this great?"

Miss Luo Quan said, looking down at her belly in surprise.

Originally, she felt that pregnancy was quite hard, but now that she has received such treatment, she suddenly feels that pregnancy is not bad at all, and even wants Ningning to be like Nezha and be pregnant for three years, so she won't have to work hard for the next three years.

Barrage:

"The situation is different now, of course we are very distressed for you."

"I'm just afraid that you are only distressed for this period of time. Don't change back to the original state after Luo Ning is born."

"Changing back to the original state is good; it is very likely to become worse."

"Then I, Luo Bao, estimate that I will cry directly."

"Not to that extent, don't think of everyone as so bad, after all, we are not demons."

………………

The fans' teasing made Miss Luo Quan unable to help but laugh, and she didn't know how many of these sentences were true and how many were false.

However, according to their character, becoming worse is really a possible situation.

But at least she doesn't need to think about those troubles for now, just be drunk today for today's wine, and worry about tomorrow's worries tomorrow.

"By the way, fans."

Miss Luo Quan remembered an important thing and smiled at the camera: "In order to give back to users, starting from the Little New Year's Eve, Bilibili will send out red envelopes three times at 8, 9, and 10 o'clock in the evening, 100 million every day, 600 million on New Year's Eve, totaling 1.3 billion, implying that every one of the 1.3 billion citizens has a red envelope."

"Of course, in the end, you definitely won't get that much, but as long as you come to collect red envelopes every day these few days, the probability of getting a red envelope will be very high."

"Especially on New Year's Eve, the 600 million red envelope delivery at that time, it's simply too comfortable."

As soon as this word came out, the barrage was immediately excited:

"My god, 1.3 billion red envelopes, Luo Bao, did you rob a bank?"

"Is it so generous now? 1.3 billion red envelopes, if I draw this, how cool would it be."

"Thought too much, really divided down, basically all are 100 to 200."

"This is also a lot, move your fingers and have a chance to get it, really getting 200 is already higher than my daily after-tax salary."

"Indeed, why be picky about free gifts."

"I'm going to let the whole family come to grab it this time!"

"Then the question comes, what made Luo Bao become so generous?" ===== CHAPTER 1323 =====
