Chapter 489
The premiere ceremony ended in applause. Miss Luo Quan's novel sword performance was truly wonderful enough to make people applaud.
It was clearly just a premiere of a movie, but it made most people feel that it was better than an action movie.
In addition to the star guests watching the ceremony, there was also a large group of fans staying up late to pay attention to the movie.
Although the 26th and 27th are not weekends, this does not affect their enthusiasm for entering the cinema to watch the movie at the first time.
As early as when the premiere started, they had already gathered in the cinema, either calling friends or alone, preparing to watch "Rurouni Kenshin."
And the time when the premiere ended was already 11:40. Many cinemas had already started to clear screening halls for the first screening of "Rurouni Kenshin."
With the arrival of the early morning, major cinemas in Japan almost unanimously started playing "Rurouni Kenshin."
As the most popular local movie in Japan at present, the scheduling of "Rurouni Kenshin" is amazingly amazing. During the time when "Titanic" has not yet been released, its scheduling exceeded 35%!
And the attendance data for the first screening of all cinemas was also released. Except for some relatively remote towns, the attendance rate was above 90%.
And in big cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya, they were basically full!
Such popularity, not only the audience and film critics have not seen it, but even the managers who have been responsible for theater work for many years have not seen it.
It can only be said that Miss Luo Quan's fan base is truly terrifying. No matter how good the subject matter or trailer of this movie is, 99% of the first batch of audiences after the premiere came for her.
This is the embodiment of a star's box office appeal. In the case of not knowing how the movie is filmed, so many fans are willing to walk into the cinema to unconditionally support their idol.
Of course, this also has to do with Miss Luo Quan filming a movie in Japan for the first time. This is an action movie. If it were another subject, maybe more people would be interested.
The movie duration is 100 minutes. The first wave of film reviews should wait until 2 o'clock.
After returning to the hotel after the premiere, Miss Luo Quan didn't stay up too long and went to sleep early. After waking up, it will be the moment to welcome praise...
"You are beautiful~~
You are beautiful~~"
Miss Luo Quan's mobile phone ringtone rang. It was the song she sang herself, and it also described herself. It was very narcissistic.
Miss Luo Quan, who was not woken up naturally, had a thin anger between her eyebrows. Obviously, she was a little dissatisfied that her dream was disturbed.
"Seven o'clock, it's not very early..." Miss Luo Quan muttered after seeing the time clearly, and slightly eliminated her getting-up anger:
"Hello, is it Miki?"
"Miss Luo Quan-san, tell you a good news. 'Rurouni Kenshin' has already won 4.5 billion yen at the box office in seven hours of release, breaking the box office record for the first day of release in Japan early!"
"And now the movie ratings on the internet are all above 9.0 on average. This is definitely a rave review!"
Miki's voice sounded very excited. Although he had witnessed so many sales miracles created by Miss Luo Quan, every time he experienced it personally, it would make him excited and unable to suppress it.
"4.5 billion yen?!" Miss Luo Quan also showed joy. 4.5 billion yen is almost equivalent to 300 million RMB!
In just seven hours, the production cost has already been earned back. If this momentum continues, this movie is expected to earn back its cost in one day!
"Yes, now netizens are praising it crazy, saying this is the best action movie this year. I called you to tell you this good news. You can go to Twitter to see the details."
After the phone hung up, Miss Luo Quan also opened Twitter.
There are already more than a dozen relevant pushes in the message column, all related to Rurouni Kenshin. Half of them are pushing how much the box office has reached, and the other half are film reviews released by major film and television media.
Miss Luo Quan doesn't care about these. She wants to see the comments of the public more. What the general public likes is the real good.
There are already more than 200,000 tweets about "Rurouni Kenshin" on Twitter. If you click on one, there are thousands of comments and likes:
"Great reviews! I really saw such an explosive action movie for the first time. The costumes, makeup, and props are also very exquisite, and the actors' acting skills are also quite online!"
"The part where the protagonist picks one hundred is really too burning. That person is running around on the ground. Can a samurai really have such explosive skills?"
"Responsibly tell you, there are really such masters. Even if they are not as exaggerated as Miss Luo Quan, they won't be much worse."
"In the final duel, I think it can be included in the historical classic shots of Japanese movies. The two presented are simply epic fights!"
"As a kendo third-dan swordsman, a large part of this fight is like a real sword competition. That pile of long shots is very coherent, without cutting, and you can't see obvious holding back. Even if it is placed in a kendo competition, it is the top duel scene!"
"Is it really that powerful? But isn't this a movie?"
"Didn't look at the cast list carefully? The actor who played Udō Jin-e is Kota Yagyu, the son of Sword Saint Yagyu Ensai, and he is a very powerful swordsman."
"I never thought Miss Luo Quan's sword skills could be so strong. That thirty-six consecutive cuts made my breathing almost stop."
"This Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu is too hanging, especially the moment Kenshin swings his sword in the air to cut people, it's handsome on my face!"
"Am I the only one who thinks Saito Hajime's Gatotsu is the most handsome?"
"I feel that even the sword skills of the dragon set in the movie are not low, and the posture of drawing and sheathing the sword is quite upright!"
"I saw many acquaintances of the Yagyu family."
Fingers kept sliding down, basically all praise. The only one that is not praise is complaining that the protagonist's bangs are too long, and many times they cover half of the face, so you can't see clearly.
But there is no way, this is a small flaw that cannot be avoided.
Apart from this, there is basically no place to pick thorns.
As an action commercial movie, no one can pick too many faults at present.
And with the arrival of the day, the explosive word-of-mouth began to sweep the internet rapidly, and the movie's box office showed a trend of continuous growth, and reached a climax at 5 pm.
This is the time when office workers get off work and students finish school.
Generally speaking, office workers will call friends to walk into the izakaya after work, and then drink until 11 or 12 o'clock before going home drunk.
And today, after a day of news bombing about "Rurouni Kenshin," most people finally couldn't wait to walk into the cinema.
What they got goes without saying, naturally a visual and auditory feast. Many people even brushed it twice or three times after coming out, which shows the degree of love in their hearts.
In addition, the good review rate on the internet has also remained high. Even if the number of people rating the movie has exceeded 100,000, the score still remains above 9.0, with only a slight decline.
If it were in the previous popular period, competitors would see "Rurouni Kenshin" so popular, no matter what, they would buy water troops to brush black reviews and give low scores.
This is pure commercial competition, and has nothing to do with whether the movie quality is good or bad.
But now, except for "Titanic" which has not been released yet, there are no blockbusters to compete with "Rurouni Kenshin" for the market. There are only two or three kittens.
These kittens themselves don't have much investment, so where do they have spare money to hire water troops.
Thus, this movie by Miss Luo Quan became the highest-rated Japanese movie from the beginning of this year to the present without any interference from outsiders.
As a commercial movie, a score of 9.0 is really too high. Miss Luo Quan feels that around 8.5 is basically the limit.
Now it is a bit falsely high. After all, it has just been released, and many problems have not been excavated. Although they are not big problems, just small flaws, they will also affect the score to some extent.
After a long time, the movie rating will slowly return to normal.
But for Miss Luo Quan, the rating is actually not particularly important. What is really important is the box office.
And in this piece, "Rurouni Kenshin" has handed over a full-score answer sheet to her and everyone who is looking forward to it.
Breaking 1 billion yen in one hour of release, breaking 2.5 billion yen in seven hours, breaking the highest box office record for the first day of release previously set by "Spirited Away."
Breaking 4.5 billion yen in seven hours!
Breaking 9 billion yen in fifteen hours, which is nearly 600 million RMB.
According to the ratio of movie market cost to box office, if the box office is only the number of production costs, it is equivalent to losing all money.
And if the box office reaches three times the production cost, it is considered to have earned back the cost.
And "Rurouni Kenshin" only took a mere fifteen hours to earn back its cost.
Although after nine o'clock, the continuous high box office growth rate began to fall significantly, but because the starting point and growth speed were too high and too fast, even if it began to fall, the box office income was still shockingly high.
As of 24:00 on the 27th, which is 0:00 on the 28th, the single-day box office of "Rurouni Kenshin" reached 12.34 billion yen.
This is an unprecedented number, a milestone moment in the history of Japanese movie box office.
Before this, those occupying the top 50 box office in Japanese film history were either foreign movies or anime movies.
Although live-action movies have won numerous awards at home and abroad, and individual directors are quite figures even at the three major film festivals, the box office is generally not very high.
And now, "Rurouni Kenshin" has broken this deadlock and also set a very good benchmark for latecomers. Many big movie production companies immediately started imitation plans after seeing the record-breaking box office performance of "Rurouni Kenshin."
Although following the trend is not as well-received as original, taking advantage of the popularity to quickly seize the market and earn a lot of money is definitely not a difficult task.
It can be said that time is money and speed is wealth.
And just when everyone thought that the record set by "Rurouni Kenshin" was unreachable in a short time, the big ship came.
"Rurouni Kenshin" was broadcast for two days, winning 19.6 billion in box office, and on the evening of the 28th, the world-renowned "Titanic" premiere was held at the Dolby Theater.
Originally Miss Luo Quan was on the invitation list, but because she was busy with her own movie, she didn't go to the scene this time, and the theme song was also a record.
At the premiere, the male and female leads were dressed even more brilliantly than at the last press conference. In the absence of Miss Luo Quan, the former world's most beautiful captured the hearts of almost all men present.
Unlike Miss Luo Quan, who had just begun to mature, the fully mature Carlilian was full of charm and temptation that the opposite sex could not refuse.
As the dream lover of all American men, even if her appearance is not as good as Miss Luo Quan, she is definitely a rare beauty. Coupled with that figure, she killed countless gazes and men's hearts in front of the camera this time.
As for Leon, it goes without saying that he was so handsome that many men whistled and showed appreciative and sighing eyes.
And even such male and female leads were not the real protagonists of this premiere.
The real protagonist is the movie, "Titanic." The love and emotion across time carried by this big ship, in the director's low and magnetic voice, slowly sailed towards everyone.
Just by understanding the outline of the main plot, everyone had already foreseen its brilliance and greatness.
In local American cinemas, the scheduling was basically occupied by "Titanic." 70% of the screening halls in many first-tier cities cleared the route for the big ship, and people also guarded inside and outside the cinema, waiting for its release.
At the same time, in China and Japan, which were still in the daytime, despite the day and night reversal and different regions, the enthusiasm of fans for witnessing an epic movie was the same.
In Japan, there were still a large number of fans watching "Rurouni Kenshin," but in addition to these, there was still a large group of fans of almost equal number waiting for the release of "Titanic."
The theater's scheduling also gave a large part to it under the situation that "Rurouni Kenshin" was popular.
This is the effort made by all investment capital for it before the movie was released.
From actors to directors to investment companies and even fans, everyone has unparalleled expectations for it.
To be honest, Miss Luo Quan is quite envious of such expectations.
Although she had already reached this level in music, for movies, she still had a considerable distance from this level.
However, she can comfort herself, because there is only one Titanic, and such a scene cannot be seen once in ten years.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, ten years is definitely not that long.
At the latest the year after next, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" will be released. That is a movie she starred in, although the role is not too much...
Like all fans looking forward to the big ship, Miss Luo Quan also bought a movie ticket, put on a mask and sunglasses, and walked into the cinema, preparing to see her own Jack and Rose's love.
New era, new shooting techniques. This time the big ship uses IMAX large screen, and also needs to wear 3D glasses. All special effects scenes will be more immersive than in her memory.
