Chapter 1061 Manslaughter Released (2)

On the 27th of the first lunar month, as people gradually returned to work, the business of movie theaters also lost the enthusiasm of the previous few days. Although it was still during the Spring Festival, the popularity was not much higher than that of the off-season.

"Luo Bao seems to like to release movies during the off-season."

Aqiang, an employee of a cinema, muttered to himself after replacing the poster of "Empty River Blue" with "Manslaughter".

As a fan of Luo Quan for ten years, what Aqiang likes to do most is to open Station B to watch her live broadcast or search for slices of her live broadcast while fishing at work.

Of course, what he hopes most is to see her in the movie. After all, he is also a practitioner in the film industry, even though he is only responsible for hanging posters and selling popcorn.

It's a pity that Luo Quan hasn't starred in a movie for a long time. This time she is the director again, and she doesn't even have a cameo appearance.

However, Aqiang still plans to wait until after get off work to support his idol with a movie ticket.

Originally, he planned to ask for leave today, but as a result, A-Zhen was going on a blind date, A-Hua went back to her parents' home, and A-Wei was sick. If he asked for leave again, there wouldn't be many people in the theater available.

Therefore, the manager did not approve it, and Aqiang had no choice but to wait until after get off work to see the manslaughter.

After the poster was put up, Aqiang returned to his work station and started making popcorn.

At this time, customers were also entering the theater one after another, asking by name to watch "Manslaughter".

In fact, "Chinese Ping Pong", which was released on the same day, also had many films scheduled, but few customers wanted to watch it.

"What age are we, and we are still filming traditional themes." Ah Qiang heard from Ah Fang at the ticket office about the ticket sales within one hour of opening the store, and laughed and laughed.

Just hearing the name of this movie makes people uninterested. It failed to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. If it is delayed until now and it is head-on with Luo Quan, then it will be a dead end.

After fishing for a while, the first batch of movie-watching customers came out.

Everyone is smiling, and if they come with friends, they are excitedly discussing the plot with their friends.

When Aqiang saw this scene, he stopped a boy: "Brother, how about the movie "Manslaughter"?"

"Holy shit, Luo Quan is so awesome. He turned out to be amazing at the end. Xiao Yang is also an amazing actor. The final scene is so beautiful!"

This boy also looked like a fan of Luo Quan. As soon as he started chatting, he started dancing and describing, like a madman with an excessive desire to express himself.

A Qiang finally couldn't sit still after hearing this. He just checked Weibo and saw that many people were hyping the movie to the sky, and he even planned to leave early.

However, considering the manager's bad temper, Ah Qiang decided to play a trick and asked his brother Ah Hua to cover the two-hour shift for him and let him watch the movie first.

This is not the first time Aqiang has done this, and Ahua has become quite skillful from being in a hurry the first time.

After taking off his work clothes to Ah Hua, Ah Qiang rushed into the screening room with the movie tickets.

There is no doubt that this is another fan who is obsessed with Luo Quan and loses his mind.

But it is precisely because she is good enough that so many fans are devoted to her.

"Manslaughter", which took less than a month to film, is the best proof of her talent.

The box office on the first day of release was 280 million, which is not even worse than the bunch of Lunar New Year movies released on the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Without knowing the quality of the movie and no big-name stars participating, this is the box office appeal that can be achieved purely by director Luo Quan alone.

There are no prerequisites for this appeal. No matter what movie, as long as Luo Quan's name appears on the list of main creators, then the 280 million is unbeatable.

If she also stars in the film, I believe the box office will definitely be higher.

While it was a hit at the box office, "Manslaughter" also maintained a fairly high level of success. Most of the comments after viewing were full of praise. When Douban released the score in the evening, the high score of 8.6 was much higher than that of the same suspense movie. "Empty River Blue".

"How do you evaluate "Manslaughter"?"

Zhihu, which had nothing major happening for several days, finally received a question with 20 million searches.

After watching the movie, fans now want to tell passers-by how good the movie is and attract more viewers, so their desire to answer is quite strong:

“Uninvited, spoiler warning, don’t like to wander in by mistake.

First of all, I am not a passerby, but a pure fan of Luo Quan, and I went to the cinema for her.

The good news is that Luo Quan is not the kind of person who likes to cut off his fans. This "Manslaughter" continues Luo Quan's reputation as a high-quality film as always.

First of all, this is a movie with a very clear main plot, which is the story of a mother and daughter accidentally killing a scumbag, and then the father helps the whole family escape the crime.

The reason why it is called manslaughter is not because my daughter hit the scumbag with a hammer from behind, but because of the scratches on the coffin board at the end.

Obviously, the scumbag only fainted but did not die after being hit in the back of the head. His father finally buried him alive, but the crowd was so excited at the time that no one noticed this detail.

Therefore, the father's perfect crime was not perfect after all, but it still helped the whole family clear their suspicions.

At this point, all the emotions that had been squeezed out before were released as the heavy rain fell. It was so refreshing.

For the Spring Festival season that is about to end, "Manslaughter" is the perfect ending note, with a movie recommendation index of four and a half stars! "

Compared with the film review-style recommendation of the first answer, although the second answer is also a recommendation, the language is much sharper:

"Compared to "Empty River Blue", I think "Manslaughter" can be called a suspense movie.

Among the so-called dozen or so reversals in the former, many of them are traceless and have no logic at all. They are typical reversals for the sake of reversal.

Looking back at Manslaughter, there is only one twist in the whole story, which is when the coffin is opened for autopsy at the end. No one would have thought that the body in the coffin could be a goat before the camera was shown.

But anyone who watches the movie carefully will quickly remember where the goat came from, and then associate it with the real burial place.

This is the characteristic of a good suspense movie. It gives you seemingly insignificant clues and allows you to quickly understand what is going on after the mystery is revealed, and it makes people feel reasonable and unobtrusive.

So even though there is only one twist, the plot still seems so ups and downs and exciting.

As for the raining scene at the climax, I think it is an extremely high expression of lens art, with both beauty and tension. To describe it in one sentence, it is like hearing thunder without any sound.

Of course, in addition to the director's ability, Xiao Yang's actor-level acting skills also played a crucial role in making this section so exciting.

Before watching the movie, if you had told me that he was a singer who had just changed his career as an actor, I would not have believed it.

How can anyone become an actor just after changing careers? Not even Luo Quan!

There is no doubt that this is another talented player, and he was lucky enough to meet the good director Luo Quan, so 1+1>2 became logical.

I just looked at the total cost breakdown of "Manslaughter" announced by Luo Quan. It totaled 72,651,145.14 yuan, ranging from the actors' remuneration to the daily lunch boxes and drinks. Every single transaction was recorded in the account.

This is the cost of an ordinary suspense film. Of course, because Luo Quan directed and wrote it, he saved director and screenwriter fees.

For a director and screenwriter of her level, the fees must be exorbitantly high, so the final cost of the film is 200 million, which is reasonable.

But the reality is that Luo Quan only used an investment of more than 70 million yuan to shoot a Lunar New Year suspense blockbuster with an investment of 500 million yuan, and the shooting period was even shorter than it.

But even so, Miao's movie was already one of the better movies last year, and the others were even worse.

This makes us have to ask a question, that is, where is all the money spent? "

……………………

The second answer seemed to be praising "Manslaughter", but the real intention was revealed in the last part. It was actually a question to the Chinese film industry.

The cost details are now in front of everyone, and for the sake of quality, Luo Quan used big-name shooting equipment, and his remuneration is also at the leading level in the industry. He is definitely a conscience.

From here, it can be more clearly shown how much effort other crews have put into cutting corners, and that the Chinese film industry will be in decline.

The good news for fans and passers-by is that they still have Luo Quan.

Kouhai said before that she could make three movies with an investment of 500 million. Now the first one has been released. The box office on the first day was close to 300 million. It is predicted that the final box office will not be less than 2 billion.

The box office of "Empty River Blue" is only over 4 billion. Calculated, she only needs to make one more film to complete the task, so the real situation is even more exaggerated than when she was high.

Although this kind of thing is not a big event worth celebrating for Luo Quan, the live broadcast room was still filled with gongs, drums and firecrackers, and fans used red barrages with lanterns to wish her a happy old age.

"Okay, isn't it normal to achieve such results? I haven't even released the real ultimate move yet.

Now that we have accomplished nearly half of our mission with just one movie, doesn't that mean that one more movie is enough? "

Luo Quan was half-lying in the recliner, with his legs high on the computer table, cocking his head proudly.

He said it was normal, but the words "Come on, praise me" were still written all over his face.

However, Luo Quan's fans have always liked to do the opposite with her. Seeing that she was a little carried away, they immediately began to deny:

"You're just pretending that you have so few achievements, right?"

"Maybe the next movie will lose money. It's not like there are no movies in the film industry that have lost 400 million in one time."

"I decided that in order for Luo Bao to make three movies, I would watch a pirated version of the second movie."

"What a great idea. Let Luo Quan's second movie hit the streets. Then there will be a third one?"

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

……………………

In order to make Luo Quan feel embarrassed, the fake fans in the barrage were willing to do anything, and even started to read pirated copies of the book that cost tens of thousands of people.

If it were other celebrities, they might regard this as a little joke between fans and celebrities.

But Luo Quan knew that these guys were really capable of doing this kind of thing.

Just like the original crowdfunding of 100 million US dollars, now even the most popular traffic stars dare not guarantee that they can crowdfund 100 million yuan from fans.

But Luo Quan’s fans really came up with it from the beginning. This is the execution ability of Luo Quan fans.

So since then, Luo Quan has never said anything to his fans: I bet you guys can't do it.

Because once she makes any outrageous bets, fans will really teach her how to behave.

But this time, Luo Quan seemed very calm in the face of threats from fans: "I don't recommend that everyone form a group to pirate just to watch the third movie, because the next movie will be very worth watching. .

Of course, if you really want to watch pirated copies, there's nothing you can do about it, after all, it's not illegal. "

When fans heard this, they immediately posted:

"So are you begging us?"

"If you are willing to cosplay a bunny girl, I can watch the second movie three times!"

"I brushed it five times!"

"Me ten times!"

"Damn it, why are you not determined at all? Are you satisfied with just cosplaying a bunny girl? Why can't you do a swimsuit photoshoot?"

"Taking advantage of others, right? But I like it."

………………

Faced with the ulterior motives of a few fans, Luo Quan did not choose to compromise: "Don't let some fans mislead you. The movie was made for you. Go watch it if you think it's good. It's not for me." What do you do to choose whether to go or not?

And have any of the movies I made ever fooled you? It’s definitely worth the price of admission, right? "

The barrage immediately replied:

"I would have forgotten if I didn't mention it. Do you dare to say that "Resident Evil" is not a scam?"

"It's very beautiful. Where is the trick?"

"New fans don't know. Old fans can explain. There was a poster for this movie. The overall layout makes it look like Luo Bao is not wearing any clothes."

"The scene in the bathtub at the beginning of the movie, right?"

"Haha, I originally went there for this poster, but who knew it was just selling someone else's head?"

"Haha, is this considered consumer fraud?"

"Of course forget it! What I wanted to watch was Luo Bao's nude scene, and you just showed me this?"

"It is indeed a fraud."

……………………

Faced with the fans' accusations, Luo Quan became a little blushing at this time: "Can you blame me for this? Isn't that the promoter's problem?

I never said there would be nudity in Resident Evil, I just mentioned that there would be large-scale shots. This is not my fault! "

"Luo Bao started to be tough."

"Okay, that's it for now. If Luo Bao, who is in tough-talking mode, is questioned again, he will turn into a beast when his aggressiveness is full."

"It's okay, let the new fans see what a humanoid female tyrannosaurus is."

"Haha, it's not that bad."

"Besides, let's ban you for a month and let you know who has the final say at Station B!"

………………

Fans want to interact with Luo Quan in this way. Although it is a little more aggressive, there is not much malice.

However, Luo Quan is no longer an irritable young man, and he will not be fooled by this level of aggressive tactics.
