Main text:
"Alright, let's not talk about this. Today is my birthday, does anyone have anything to say to me, or gifts to give me?"
After laughing, Luo Quan entered today's theme.
"I want to give you the shining stars, I want to give you the gentle moon, I want to give you the burning..."
"Speak, why don't you continue?"
"Probably afraid of the one-year ban package."
"Hahaha, you guys are still the ones who can create content."
"Actually, there are many things I want to give, but you probably won't like what I can afford, and I probably can't afford what you would like."
"Indeed, with this net worth, you probably won't lack these."
………………
Seeing fans say this, Luo Quan immediately denied: "How could that be? This kind of thing is about the heart. No matter how much it's worth, as long as it's given to me, I can accept it happily, even just a 'happy birthday' is fine."
"Of course, except for intentional pranks."
Luo Quan knew these fans liked to joke and argue, so she blocked this path in advance.
"Student party doesn't have much money, so I can only say happy birthday to you!"
"Haha, how is this different from not giving a gift."
"However, what Luo Quan wants is indeed just everyone's heart."
………………
The comments started complaining. In fact, since the live stream started, the "happy birthday" on the screen hadn't stopped.
It's equivalent to Luo Quan not making any requests; it's just that the fans thought about it too complicatedly themselves.
If it were really a very expensive gift, she couldn't accept it either.
After asking for gifts, it was time for the message reading segment that fans had been waiting for for a long time.
Generally speaking, Luo Quan doesn't read messages written by fans.
Because the quantity is too large, her mailbox and private messages are in a 999+ state every day, and they are mixed with advertisements, which is not easy to distinguish. Furthermore, it's a mixed bag, and it's easy to have live stream accidents.
So, she didn't add this segment.
However, today is a special day, so she added this segment and picked a few lucky audience members.
Opening the mailbox, fans first saw a long line of birthday cards sent by various famous brands.
There are fashion clothing brands, such as Chanel, LV, Dior.
There are car brands, such as Hyundai, Volkswagen, Honda.
There are film and television brands, such as Universal, Warner, Disney.
Basically, they are all familiar brands, and each one sent Luo Quan quite enthusiastic birthday congratulations.
Except for Chanel, these brands also added words hoping to cooperate with you at the end, obviously with ulterior motives.
The above are just famous brands that Luo Quan stayed on for a while; below, there are countless others, top-tier, first-tier, second-tier, whether for men or women, basically all filled up.
These brands don't care if Luo Quan can use their products, but since it's her birthday, they have to send a congratulatory telegram and mention that they hope to start a cooperation.
Although the possibility of cooperation is rounded to zero, what if? What if Luo Quan suddenly had a whim and wanted to cooperate after seeing this card, wouldn't the good thing come?
So these brands, even if previous cooperation invitations always sank into the sea, still sent congratulatory emails for this birthday.
"Oh my, this scale is simply amazing, it's simply an exhibition."
"Since these brands have issued endorsement invitations, what would happen if Luo Quan accepted them all? Wouldn't she make a fortune!"
"She would probably be exhausted. Luo Bao is drained after filming a movie and needs to rest for half a month. Who knows how long it would take to film so many endorsements."
"Haha, why is it so funny to hear you say that, but Luo Bao is indeed a bit lazy."
"She's not lazy, she just naturally doesn't like to move."
"Isn't not moving a turtle?"
"Hahaha, are you trying to laugh me to death?"
…………
2B youth has more fun; Luo Quan didn't expect that she could be so happy watching the routine greeting cards from brand merchants.
However, since the audience helped her create program effects themselves, it also saved her a lot of trouble.
After skipping the long advertisements, it was finally the emails sent by fans.
"Come, let's read the letter from this 'Burning Eye Eyed Xiahou Dun'... eh, have I seen you somewhere? Why do you look so familiar."
Luo Quan looked at this nickname and always felt she had an impression, but couldn't remember it for a while.
"You forgot this? For us, this is a quite important fan big shot."
"Indeed, without it, there would be no benefits for us."
"Friendly reminder, crowdfunding, swimsuit."
"Drew a big shot as soon as I came, awesome!"
………………
After seeing the prompt in the comments, Luo Quan immediately remembered: "So it was you, kid."
After she debuted, her first bold behavior started from this crowdfunding swimsuit photo shoot.
Although it was indeed her who set the flag, if it weren't for the organization of this "Burning Eye Eyed Xiahou Dun," it is estimated that she wouldn't have been able to raise so much money, and naturally, she wouldn't have needed to film it.
However, one thing to say, although she was quite embarrassed at the time, now thinking about it, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
And it can be considered to have indirectly helped her, rejecting the so-called definition the public had of her, and also allowing her style to be more varied later.
"Let me see what you said this time."
Luo Quan clicked on the email, and the scroll wheel slid down slowly.
"Luo Bao, long time no see, I don't know if you still remember me. First of all, I must wish you a happy birthday.
It's been more than a year since your first swimsuit photo shoot, and the vast number of fans are waiting for you to launch a sequel. How about continuing to crowdfund 100 million US dollars this time?
I've already chosen the location, it's in Xia Weiyi. If it's okay, notify me at any time, and I can start organizing immediately!
Finally, wish you a happy birthday again!"
"Damn, this is really a great philanthropist."
"What kind of high spirit is this? It's simply detached from low-level interests, wholeheartedly pursuing the supreme realm of beauty."
"Good guy, can watching swimsuits be said so majestically?"
"I'll just ask if you want to watch it."
"Want to, dream about it."
…………
These words from Burning Eye Eyed Xiahou Dun ignited the bunch of perverts in the comments, who all voiced wanting Luo Quan to do another crowdfunding, even if it was increased to 200 million US dollars, it wouldn't be impossible.
However, this time Luo Quan wouldn't make the same mistake again, directly crossing her hands in front of her chest: "No way, don't even think about this kind of thing. As far as the current situation is concerned, I don't have any plans to film swimsuit photos again.
After all, my homepage isn't a swimsuit model."
"So, will there be plans in this regard later?"
Fans hurriedly asked.
"I really can't give everyone a definite answer to this." Luo Quan shook her head, "But there should be, I just don't know exactly when."
Hearing this, although the fans were a bit disappointed, at least there was something to look forward to.
It's just that this empty check, I don't know if it can be cashed within a year.
However, last year, Luo Quan also did a swimsuit live stream for everyone in Xia Weiyi. Reasonably speaking, that was also quite exciting. Even if she doesn't film photos, doing a few more live streams like that is also excellent.
After reading the first lucky fan, the next was the second.
It was a netizen with the nickname Yun Mu, who said:
"Wish sister Luo Quan a happy birthday, hope you become younger and younger, more and more beautiful.
I am a poor student from the mountains, my parents work outside, and I was brought up by my grandparents since I was a child.
Some time ago, my grandfather was diagnosed with cancer. Although it was early stage, the surgery fee was quite expensive for us, and we couldn't afford it at all.
Fortunately, there is a foundation founded by sister Luo Quan to help poor people. After we sent a rescue application to the foundation and it was verified, my grandfather was quickly arranged for surgery.
Now my grandfather is in good health and recovering quite well.
Besides that, my tuition and miscellaneous fees were actually helped by sister Luo Quan's foundation. It can be said that without sister Luo Quan, there would be no happy and complete family I have now.
Now I have been admitted to Beijing University, majoring in finance, just to make a lot of money when I graduate, repay sister Luo Quan, and be a person who is rich and benevolent like you.
In addition, I also want to take this opportunity to say thank you to you. If you are not married when I make something of myself, I will step on colorful clouds to propose to you!"
After hearing Luo Quan finish reading this student's email, the comments exploded:
"Good guy, I was quite moved when I saw the front, but at the end, it directly came to a 'dagger revealed at the end of the map'."
"When Luo Quan did good deeds, she probably didn't expect that she would get herself involved."
"The kid has ambition, but Luo Quan is destined to be my brother's, so don't even think about it."
"What's so great about Beijing University? I graduated from Blue Fly, am I proud?"
"Mere Blue Fly? I'm from New East!"
"It belongs to having a bright future."
…………
Fans joked around, Luo Quan was quite gratified; her donations indeed fell into place, helped people in need, and also cultivated a talent.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if this talent didn't have designs on her.
"This little brother Yun Mu, first of all, thank you for your letter.
However, you should study hard at this stage, emotional matters can be talked about later. Repaying society and becoming a useful person in the future is the greatest reward for me."
Such a reply can be considered a tactful refusal of his intentions; after all, saying it directly in a live stream would hurt the young man's self-esteem too much.
Although she herself isn't very old, I know young people care about face.
Next, she read several more fans' emails one after another.
These fans come from all walks of life, including workers working on construction sites, office workers, programmers who have lost half their hair but are actually under thirty, and delivery guys who go through wind and rain.
Perhaps many of them don't have high education, but the emails they sent were quite good at creating content, including the classic "I really want to be Miss Luo Quan's dog" after pirated pranks.
After reading it out, not only were the fans laughing, but Luo Quan herself couldn't hold it back.
After reading more than a dozen emails, the time in China was almost 2 AM. Considering the fans' rest, Luo Quan told everyone to go to bed early and then ended the live stream.
She was quite satisfied with the effect of this birthday live stream; it had been a long time since she interacted with fans so happily. Although many people showed varying degrees of "Taobao user" symptoms, that was also out of their love for her.
For the next two days, Luo Quan's attention was on the reviews and box office of Resident Evil 2.
Resident Evil 2, with a first-day box office of 170 million US dollars, successfully broke the circle under the situation of public opinion taking off, becoming a hot topic in the world's all-age range, and also attracted a quite large viewing craze.
As a result, the second day's box office increased, reaching 185 million.
Don't look at it as not much, but a movie with overwhelming promotion originally meant that the first day would attract the vast majority of interested fans.
And those who come later are mostly second-time viewers and those attracted by word-of-mouth. In this case, the box office is usually lower than the first day.
But Resident Evil 2 had a reverse decline, and it was for three consecutive days, which really gave Luo Quan a surprise.
In just three days of box office, Resident Evil 2 harvested 580 million US dollars, already making a fortune.
However, such a grand occasion didn't last long. After rising for three consecutive days, it began to fall, with each day being about 15% less than the previous day.
The speed of the decline wasn't too big, indicating that Resident Evil still had quite a large viewing interest among fans worldwide, it's just that everyone didn't necessarily have time.
With the lengthening of the screening time, fans probably finally squeezed out time to come to the cinema and contribute their tickets.
Under such a steady accumulation of box office, Resident Evil 2 breaking through 1 billion US dollars was already within reach; it just depends on whether it can break through 1.5 billion.
For Hollywood commercial movies, 1 billion US dollars is a threshold. As long as there are no major plot holes and the special effects and acting are above standard, it's not difficult to reach.
And after 1 billion, basically 500 million is a level. Those that can reach more than 1.5 billion are very excellent commercial movies, such as the Avengers.
And if it can reach 2 billion US dollars, then it's quite awesome; there aren't many such movies in the world currently.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Resident Evil 2 doesn't have such a fan base yet.
But if this series continues to be released, and each installment doesn't drop the ball, then it's possible to break through the 2 billion US dollar mark.
The success of Resident Evil 2 has completely declared the prosperity of the zombie IP. Next, it only needs vigorous operation, releasing related movies, games, and comics. With fan support, it's really making money while lying down.
It is precisely for this reason that numerous film and television companies also sent emails to Luo Quan, hoping to buy the adaptation rights of the Resident Evil IP.
Some even offered high prices, wanting to buy the copyright of Resident Evil directly.
