Chapter 391: A Type of Film That Has Never Appeared Before

~13 min read 2,598 words

"This movie is good, it's filmed quite well."

"Feels like the best movie in recent years!"

"Director Jiang's directing skills and acting skills are on par. It's so satisfying to have three movie kings on the same stage!"

The premiere ended, and the audience who finished watching the movie came out one after another. Almost everyone praised "Let the Bullets Fly".

Outside the cinema, a large group of reporters had also been waiting for a long time, wanting to interview the audience about their post-viewing feelings about "Let the Bullets Fly" at the first time.

The evaluations obtained were basically good reviews. The plot, acting, music, and pictures could not find anything to pick on. It was an excellent good movie that made people call it satisfying after watching it!

In less than four hours, there was also a heated discussion about it on Some Zhihu. Many great gods directly brushed it twice after watching the movie, recorded some details in the movie and analyzed them.

The result obtained is that this is not an ordinary Republic of China drama, and there are quite a lot of metaphors hidden behind it.

It is not that these great gods analyzed it, many audiences even couldn't understand what Director Jiang Wen really wanted to tell in the movie.

And on the morning of the second day, with GQT's naming and praise, "Let the Bullets Fly" completely started its wild journey in national theaters.

It is foreseeable that such a movie that is both good and popular and full of connotation will inevitably leave its indelible mark in Chinese film history.

However, it is estimated that it will be quite difficult to break the 10 billion box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2".

And just when "Let the Bullets Fly" became famous, Luo Quan also got good news here.

After returning from the cinema, the system appeared with a prompt early the next morning:

"Congratulations to the host for achieving a hidden achievement, participating in two classic movies and leaving a deep impression on the audience."

Achievement reward: an unopened limited-time task.

Task reward: a mysterious gift bag, which contains at least three advanced extraction cards.

It is the system's usual nested doll style.

When she first saw the conditions for achieving the achievement, Luo Quan thought that she had already caused the task she took last year, but after looking carefully, she found that it was not. If she wants to complete it, she still has to wait for "The Lord of the Rings" to be released.

However, achieving a hidden achievement is a good thing after all, and she can also take a task. The reward for completing the task is also quite generous...

"Display task requirements." But Luo Quan's mood didn't relax at all. She knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and the tasks arranged by the system were usually very difficult for her...

"Task requirements:

Shoot a movie starring yourself and achieve a box office of over 1 billion RMB. The total time must not exceed three months. You have one week to consider whether to take the task. After one week, if you don't take it, it will automatically disappear, and there is no punishment for task failure.

Note: This task is a rare chain task. If successfully completed, the next task will be opened, and the reward will be more generous!"

After reading the description, Luo Quan just wanted to say that it is worthy of being a task reward. It is indeed very generous, but at the same time, the difficulty is also very high. Three months of self-writing, self-directing and self-acting, and the box office has to break 1 billion RMB.

The time is really too tight.

Although there are many low-cost and high-return scripts in the mall that can be exchanged, Aiwei is not yet popular, and she cannot get many shooting details.

So even if she has a script, she can't shoot it by herself.

Director's technology can be exchanged, but a good movie must also contain the director's thoughts and lens art, which cannot be achieved quickly.

However, not all movies need thoughts or artistic sense.

Popcorn movies like most B-movies don't need so much connotation, just let the audience watch it coolly.

The movies Luo Quan has seen the most are popcorn movies. The plot is simple, and the explosion points and cool points are also very easy to remember.

There are many that even if they are not exchanged in the mall, she has the confidence to replicate 70-80%.

And most importantly, B-movies have low costs, fast output, and high returns. As commercial movies, except for no connotation, there is almost no difference.

But then again, what connotation do commercial movies need? Isn't it cool to be brainless!

However, considering that this is a chain task, the B-movie to be chosen is best to be the kind that can shoot sequels.

The name of a movie quickly appeared in Luo Quan's mind, and it basically met all her requirements:

Big heroine, cool, can make money, has sequels, and the cost is not particularly high!

By the way, has this type of movie appeared in this world? A question suddenly arose in Luo Quan's mind.

Hurry up and take out her mobile phone to search, it seems that there really isn't!

Luo Quan laughed, this is God helping her.

If this type of movie doesn't exist in this world at all, it's hard to imagine what kind of shock or horror it will bring to the audience after it appears on the big screen.

And with the continuous opening of the brain hole, a bigger plan slowly rose in Luo Quan's heart...

In the principal's office of Shangyi, Principal Li was surprised after hearing what Luo Quan said: "You want to suspend school?!"

"Yes." Luo Quan nodded, "Suddenly I want to go out and walk around to find some inspiration for creation."

Principal Li fell into meditation.

He knows very well how important inspiration is to a creator.

This is the gift of the God of Art to all creators, and it is the key to their success.

And for a genius like Luo Quan, inspiration is even more important than anything else. When she says she wants to find inspiration, it must be that the current environment has made her unable to write new works.

If he forces Luo Quan to complete her studies, who knows what earth-shattering music the world will miss.

He cannot afford this responsibility.

"You can leave school at any time to find inspiration, but there is no need to suspend school. Let it go with time. You don't have to worry about the final exams. I will say hello to your subject teachers."

Luo Quan nodded: "Then thank you, Principal."

Principal Li smiled: "There are not many places where the school can help you, and creation can only rely on yourself."

"Looking forward to the near future, you can take out good works that make the world look at you!"

"Definitely!" Luo Quan agreed without hesitation.

"Are you leaving?" In the dormitory, the women saw Luo Quan packing her luggage, their eyes were surprised first, and then full of reluctance.

"Why is it so sudden?" Lu Yao has always been delicate in emotion, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.

Yesterday they ate together and watched a movie, and today they suddenly parted, which really caught her off guard.

Luo Quan was helpless and moved by Lu Yao's reaction: "Oh, I'm not not coming back. I'm just going to the United States for three months. I have to come back when school starts next year. I'm just taking a few changes of clothes and leaving."

"It's equivalent to an early winter vacation," Lin Lin Yizhu comforted Lu Yao, "Our school has always been relatively early to let out. In previous years, it was around December 20th."

"Play for another month, I'm sour." Zhang Yun's words made everyone laugh.

After the luggage was packed, Luo Quan hugged her roommates one by one to say goodbye, and incidentally helped Lu Yao wipe her tears.

During the few days waiting for the visa at home, Luo Quan was busy.

While helping Aiwei produce the album, she was looking for a high-quality crew for Su Yu.

In short, before going abroad, she arranged the careers of her artists properly.

Speaking of which, it is fortunate that talents in the entertainment industry are withering now.

Since the Tianhai Banquet came out, beautiful women without stains have directly become scarce resources.

When Luo Quan took Su Yu's photo to apply for the heroine, she almost didn't encounter any resistance and passed very smoothly.

As a result, when signing the contract, the crew found that the artist's boss was more beautiful.

After everything was arranged, Luo Quan also boarded the plane to New York.

Shooting a movie is of course the first choice of Hollywood Universal Studios, which controls the production and production of more than half of the world's film and television content.

However, she is empty-handed now, and she is not ready to shoot a movie immediately.

The so-called sharpening the knife does not cut the firewood by mistake, and she still has a lot of things to prepare.

First of all, it is funds. After arriving in the United States, she checked the balance of her bank card, and there was less than 6 million US dollars, which was really pitiful.

Fortunately, empty-handed white wolf (getting something for nothing) is her specialty. The United States lacks everything, but it doesn't lack money!

"Borrow money?" Gao Liang was gnawing on a chicken leg on the sofa, regardless of the daily calorie intake formulated by Seifert for him.

Luo Quan said helplessly: "Yes, all the money has been spent recently, so I can only borrow it from you."

Gao Liang seemed to hear a joke: "Are you kidding me? You have sold tens of millions of albums, will you be short of money?"

Luo Quan explained: "It's not that I bought a jade seal at an auction a while ago, spent 200 million in one breath, and then I had no money."

"Is that the so-called Imperial Jade Seal?" Gao Liang put down the chicken leg and wiped his mouth with a paper towel: "But this auction should be your property. Even if you can't own it, you should be able to get equivalent compensation."

Luo Quan blushed: "Because I donated it for free."

Gao Liang was speechless instantly: "Your cost of patriotism is really high..."

"Don't talk so much nonsense, borrow or not." Luo Quan was anxious, "Don't blame me for not telling you, I didn't borrow this money to spend it randomly, but planned to shoot a movie!"

"Shoot a movie?" Gao Liang was stunned, "Then you might as well spend this money randomly. Whether it's buying a car, a house, or luxury goods, even if you throw it into the water, you can hear a sound."

"Shooting a movie, forgive me for saying that it is likely to lose all money."

"Look down on me so much?" Luo Quan was a little unconvinced, "With my intelligence, what can't I do in this world?"

"Shoot a movie with your own money." Gao Liang said quietly.

"I..."

Luo Quan really wanted to punch this glib guy at this time, so that he could understand what a sister's majesty is.

At this time, Seifert also came.

Before he could open his mouth to praise Luo Quan, Gao Liang waved and shouted: "Hey, you came just in time, come and analyze it for her."

"Analyze what?" Seifert sat on the sofa and asked.

Gao Liang laughed: "My sister wants to shoot a movie, and now she is short of start-up funds. You know a little bit about this, give her a risk assessment."

"What is called knowing a little bit?" Seifert expressed great dissatisfaction with his professional level being questioned, "I am in this line of work, an expert, you know!"

Saying that, he looked at Luo Quan: "You said you want to shoot a movie, director, photography, script, can you do all these?"

"I have learned it in my spare time." Luo Quan hugged her chest, old god in the ground.

"Okay, I know you are a genius. These can't stump you." Seifert gave a thumbs up, and then continued: "Then tell me the type of movie you want to shoot, rating, general plot, let me see if there is any work."

"It's a B-level thriller." Luo Quan took out a stack of scripts from her schoolbag, and there was a line of black English on the cover:

"Resident Evil"

Luo Quan watched Seifert flip through the script and explained: "This is a brand new monster image. I have checked the information. Similar monsters only have living dead."

"That is a corpse crawling out of the cemetery, which is not the same thing as mine, and it has not been on the big screen for decades. The audience will not have aesthetic fatigue."

"If you are bitten to death, you will become a zombie... It sounds quite novel..." Seifert looked at it roughly and put down the script.

"How is it?" Luo Quan asked nervously, "Actually, I have set many foreshadowings in the script. In addition to the movie, there is also a shooting plan for related TV series. I want to create a zombie universe!"

"You think quite a lot." Gao Liang complained while picking up the script and reading it.

"It's not that there is no work." Seifert finished thinking and gave a reply:

"Thriller horror movies are generally two major categories."

"One is to use blood and residual limbs to create physiological disgust and fear for the audience, and the other is to create psychological fear by setting off a tense atmosphere."

"But no matter what type, as long as it can bring surprises to the audience, it is a good thriller movie."

"This requires very high skills for the director. Do you really have the confidence to shoot a scary movie?"

Luo Quan said confidently: "Of course I have confidence, I never make decisions without confidence."

In fact, the charm of Resident Evil is far more than just scary. Fighting zombies is actually its real cool point.

However, Seifert and Gao Liang definitely couldn't understand it now.

However, even if it is only about creating horror, Resident Evil has contributed quite a few horror scenes that have remained in the film. It is definitely not a difficult thing to want to scare the audience.

Seifert finally nodded in approval: "There is no problem with the creativity and effort direction. Currently, this kind of thriller in the United States is still quite easy to sell. Everyone is under great pressure and needs to scream loudly to release pressure. As long as it is filmed well, don't worry about not making money."

"So how much do you want to borrow?" Gao Liang asked this, intending to transfer money.

In fact, he didn't think about not borrowing, mainly because he was afraid that his sister would be blindly confident and lose money in the end.

"30 million US dollars, but it may not be enough, maybe more." Luo Quan gave a rough quote.

"In this way, Gao Liang and I will each pay 20 million. If you make money, it's yours. If you lose, it's ours." Seifert said very generously.

Luo Quan looked confident: "Don't worry, you can't lose!" ===== CHAPTER 392 =====
