Chapter 498: Getting Rich

"*Rurouni Kenshin* has been released for a week, taking 29.3 billion yen at the box office!"

Japan's trending list for today was covered by this shocking news. The film industry hadn't seen such a shocking commercial film for a long time. Previously, it was difficult for those released to break 10 billion, and Miss Luo Quan's first Japanese-language film achieved such results, which couldn't help but make people sigh at Miss Luo Quan's ability to attract money.

In just one week, this movie had already brought her hundreds of millions of yuan in income, and the prototype of a popular IP had been faintly established.

The most intuitive manifestation was that a large number of young people wearing loose samurai haori and wooden katanas tucked into their waists appeared on the streets of Tokyo.

For such a handsome and powerful character, both boys and girls were very willing to cosplay. In Japan, where the two-dimensional industry is extremely developed, if the movie is adapted into an anime next, it will definitely have a very high level of attention.

Although Miss Luo Quan didn't have the energy to produce these anime series herself, there were as many powerful anime production companies in Japan as stars in the sky. The most famous ones were now competing for the *Rurouni Kenshin* manga adaptation script in Miss Luo Quan's hands, and the prices offered were very high.

Miss Luo Quan was prepared to wait until the movie was off the screens before choosing a suitable company to sell the manga adaptation script to let this anime come into being. Mainly, she also wanted to wait until the movie's box office was fully counted before selling the manga adaptation script, so she could sell it for a better price.

However, after a week of hot screening, the box office of *Rurouni Kenshin* had begun to decline significantly.

The number of Japanese people is ultimately not as large as China's. Although the film market is large, the volume is always limited. Being able to maintain an upward curve for so many days was already very rare. However, after this wave of viewing enthusiasm passed, she wouldn't be surprised even if there was a cliff-like decline.

Relatively speaking, although *Titanic* had an explosive reputation globally, it didn't achieve a comeback in the Japanese region. Since its release, it has only had a box office of over 17 billion yen. It is estimated that the final box office will be around 28 billion, far less than the estimate range of over 40 billion for *Rurouni Kenshin*.

But after all, this is a Japanese-language film, and there is the star bonus of Miss Luo Quan. It would be strange if it could still win against her.

If comparing global box office, even if there is no movement in the Chinese region, *Titanic*, which has already raked in 800 million US dollars at the box office, has directly doubled *Rurouni Kenshin*.

Of course, no one is bored enough to make a fuss about the gap between these two movies. After all, the cost magnitude of the movies is different, the types are different, and the release regions are different, so there is no comparability at all.

In short, as far as the profession of commercial director is concerned, Miss Luo Quan is already quite successful. It is said that she has two more movies to start filming in the second half of this year, one in Chinese and one in English. If they can really be released, it means she completed the film production of three different languages in China, Japan, and the United States in one go this year.

Although such an outrageous style fits her consistent characteristic of being as high-yielding as "that," for a director, such an output rate is indeed too shameful.

The key is that the two movies she released are not shoddy assembly-line products; the quality is very high. As for the two that haven't been released yet, presumably they won't be bad either. Both Chinese and American netizens can be said to be quite looking forward to it.

However, everyone is looking forward to it, but Miss Luo Quan herself is not panicked at all.

*Rurouni Kenshin* had just finished filming and was released, and her summer vacation had just begun. Don't look at how much she has done in the past few years, and she has been shouting about growing up and being mature, but her temperament is still a bit childish. To put it bluntly, she is greedy for fun.

But then again, at the age of twenty, who isn't greedy for fun?

But her playing is actually a kind of work. After all, she has been livestreaming for the past few days at home. Except for sleeping at night, the camera is basically always on. In terms of diligence, Miss Luo Quan can be called a model worker in the livestreaming industry. In Bilibili, where pigeons are in groups and "cooing" is the style, Miss Luo Quan is like a clear stream.

"ZZZZZ…………"

On the bed, Miss Luo Quan's soft snoring came, sounding like blowing a whistle that wasn't very loud, intermittent and intermittent.

However, the camera couldn't reach her upper body. In the lens, there were only a pair of pink, tender little feet that were white and translucent. Although she was 1.73 meters tall, her feet weren't particularly large, and the foot shape was a typical Egyptian foot.

The cyan veins under the skin could be clearly seen on the white and delicate instep, and the ends were connected to ten pearl-like toes, trembling gently with Miss Luo Quan's dream.

However, not many people paid attention to this scene that was pleasing to the eye. Everyone's attention was attracted by her snoring:

"Did I hear wrong? Is Miss Luo Quan snoring?"

"Impossible, beauties don't snore when they sleep."

"Here we go again…………"

"This is breathing, right? She stayed up late last night and is a bit tired."

"Haha, regardless of whether it's breathing or not, making a sound while sleeping, in Miss Luo Quan's hometown dialect, it is uniformly classified as 'che pu han' (snoring)."

"I didn't feel anything at first, but this adjective is too fierce. Laughing to death."

"The streamer is livestreaming sleeping to be lazy, right? Tens of thousands of people watching you snore?"

"This is a new livestreaming method, sleep-streaming. Miss Luo Quan said it will be like this every afternoon from now on."

"Can the camera angle be changed? I want to see Luo Bao's sleeping face. (Funny)"

"I think this angle is quite good. Slurp."

"Foot fetishists are perverts! Oh, I'm a foot fetishist too. That's fine then."

"Classic self-directed and self-acted."

……………………

"Ah woo…………" A yawn came, Miss Luo Quan woke up from her nap, sat cross-legged on the bed, and stretched.

"How long have I slept?" Miss Luo Quan's eyes looked a bit dull. She never set an alarm for her naps and always slept until she woke up naturally. Sometimes she could sleep from one o'clock to five o'clock.

"Just past two hours."

The chat sent Miss Luo Quan's sleep time this time.

In terms of napping, this time is too long. However, Miss Luo Quan often uses her brain a lot. If she doesn't want to be listless, sleeping a little longer is fine, just not often.

"Let me buffer first." Miss Luo Quan felt that her brain had just turned on, and many systems hadn't finished loading, so she sat on the bed and started refreshing.

"Is this lagging?"

"Should change the hard drive and CPU. It lags like this after two hours of standby."

"Suggest changing to solid-state, use Ruilong for CPU, cheap and easy to use."

"What about the graphics card? Don't you want a graphics card?"

"Miss Luo Quan's vision is 4.9, what else to change? Electronic eyes?"

"There is no stock of graphics cards recently. Even if you want to change, you can't."

………………

The talents in the chat can always connect two unrelated things together, and then add jokes for everyone. After Miss Luo Quan came back to her senses, she watched the chat for a while and also laughed:

"Just passed 618 a while ago. I saw many graphics cards on JD. com. Didn't you guys buy them?"

It would be better not to mention this. Once mentioned, everyone started to pour out their bitterness.

"Buy my ass. Those manufacturers are all here to play monkeys. They only put up a few dozen, and then tens of thousands of people grab them. If they grab them, they don't ship. Other small shops are either expensive or like second-hand ones. Who dares to buy them?"

"Can only say that profiteers must die!"

"Not only profiteers, the miners who use graphics cards to mine are the culprits for the out-of-stock and price increases of this graphics card!"

"Capitalists who speculate in coins are too!"

………………

Everyone talked at once, listing the "must-die" list one by one.

This matter actually had signs since last year. Around this time last year, the price of Bitcoin began to skyrocket, and the graphics cards that could mine Bitcoin rose accordingly.

And after several large capitals entered to raise the market, the price of Bitcoin has now reached a terrifying height of 70,000 US dollars per coin, which has tripled compared to a year ago, a bull market that has lasted for nearly a year!

At this time last year, she also advised fans, saying that these virtual currencies are electronic scams, all set up by large capitals to cut you leeks and retail investors. If you go in, just wait to lose money.

As a result, not long after she finished saying this, Bitcoin began to take off, and then her words also became one of the few statements that were slapped in the face.

A year has passed, and Bitcoin has maintained a steady increase. Miss Luo Quan herself wants to buy a few to invest.

However, thinking that this thing is ultimately a virtual currency, without national credit guarantee, if it collapses one day after buying it, wouldn't it be a total loss? So in the end, she still controlled her hands.

As for the fans mentioning this matter now, her view is still the same as before:

"I still say the same thing. This kind of thing will fall sooner or later, and once it falls, it will collapse in an instant. Now that it has risen for a year, the leeks have entered the market almost enough, and it is time for large capitals to start harvesting."

Many people in the chat hold the opposite attitude:

"You said the same thing a year ago, and then Bitcoin rose for a year…………"

"Fortunately, I didn't believe it at the time. I took all my pocket money for the year to buy half a coin. I sold it yesterday and made a net profit of 170,000 RMB!"

"Awesome, envious. Newbie asks, is it too late to enter now?"

"It's never too late. Fight for it, the bicycle becomes a motorcycle."

"If you win, you go to the club to be a young model; if you lose, you can only go to the club to be a young model. Old stock investors give everyone a piece of advice here: be cautious, brothers."

………………

Although there are some voices of advice from those who have been there in the chat, everyone is generally quite optimistic about the Bitcoin market, and Miss Luo Quan repeated what she just said, trying her best not to let her fans be deceived.

However, less than half an hour after she finished speaking, news came from the US that the value of Bitcoin skyrocketed by another 4.5%, the largest increase in the past half month! It is very likely related to the Tesla CEO announcing a week ago that Bitcoin can be used for car purchase settlement.

What does this mean? This means that large capitals are still optimistic about this product, and market sentiment is also very high. Big fish, small fish, and shrimp are all entering. The more people buy, the more valuable the Bitcoin with limited total quantity becomes, and then everything starts a virtuous cycle.

Now it's only up 4.5%, who knows if it will rise more!

Once the news came out, people's mood to buy Bitcoin became more intense, and they inquired about various purchasing channels. The mines in China also started mining regardless of cost, so much so that some areas experienced power outages due to excessive power load.

In Miss Luo Quan's livestream room, it was equally exciting. Fans were all making jokes like "Miss Luo Quan buys in reverse, villa by the sea."

Miss Luo Quan wasn't angry either. It wasn't the first time she had been slapped in the face with this thing, but even so, she still posted a dynamic on Twitter and Bilibili:

"Intuition tells me that this abnormal increase is a flash in the pan. Bitcoin is estimated to start falling. Students preparing to enter might as well wait a few more days. Students who have Bitcoin in their hands, hurry up and throw it away."

"Of course, this is just my suggestion. The decision is in your own hands."

As the saying goes, clear wine reddens people's faces, and wealth moves people's hearts. The constantly rising Bitcoin had long made people's eyes red.

In the eyes of these people, this is a magic stock that only rises and never falls. Even a fool can see that now is a good time to buy with all their strength, but you let everyone wait to enter, and even let people with Bitcoin in their hands throw it away quickly.

What does this mean? Isn't it that you also want to enter and make a profit? This kind of sensational talk can't work on these veterans!

So the veterans thought they understood Miss Luo Quan's intention, and while replying with sarcasm, they also bought Bitcoin at a high price.

As for Miss Luo Quan, seeing the sarcasm of these people who are not her fans, she didn't know whether they were leeks or capitalists. In short, it didn't matter which one.

She had said her piece anyway. Good words are hard to persuade the ghost who is about to die. Whether Bitcoin rises or falls, you will know in a while.

However, Miss Luo Quan originally thought that she would have to be ridiculed by these people for a week or two before it stopped, but she didn't expect the capitalists to act so fast. The day after she posted on Twitter, Bitcoin plummeted by 10%!

It went from 72,000 US dollars per coin to 64,800 US dollars per coin, setting the largest single-day decline record.

But most people feel that this belongs to normal price fluctuations. After all, it has been rising for a year, and it doesn't matter if it falls occasionally.

Thus, a strange scene appeared, described in one picture:

Others are greedy, I am fearful; others are fearful, I am greedy. And the final result of this is that others lose a little, I go bankrupt.

Most people think they are stock gods, the chosen ones, not knowing that whether it is Bitcoin or those curves on the stock market, in the eyes of large capitals, they are actually just a string of numbers that can be changed at will.

The rise and fall are all decided by others. Even if they really can't control it, they can pull the network cable. The center of the entire financial transaction is in their territory. Why can foreign retail investors fight against them?

Thus, just when most people felt that this was the best time to buy Bitcoin, the capitalists had already ruthlessly swung the sickle in their hands, and the poor leeks were completely unaware. ===== CHAPTER 499 =====
