Chapter 487 Released

Although Luo Quan is usually lazy, the efficiency of his full production is so fast that many senior industry insiders are stunned.

Soon, "Rurouni Kenshin" was completely completed and sent for review.

While waiting for review, Luo Quan asked Sony to contact theaters across Japan to prepare the film, and at the same time posted a promotional video for the film on Twitter, as well as a large number of high-quality posters.

First of all, there is not much nonsense in the promotional video. It starts with an explosive BGM. After a few words about the background, the style changes. There are various fighting scenes emerging one after another. Even if each scene only lasts a few seconds, it is just this. A quick glance can make people feel the tension and excitement rushing towards them!

The fighting movements in this movie are much more exaggerated than the samurai action movies people have seen in the past. With this exciting BGM, even the trailer makes people feel that it is a visual feast.

The trailer alone looks so good, so what will the full movie look like?

Now not only fans, but also countless passers-by are interested in "Rurouni Kenshin".

As the world's third largest film market, the Japanese people's enthusiasm for watching movies is not inferior to that of China.

It's just that most of the box office successes over the years have been animation or live-action comic adaptations. However, Luo Quan does not have any IP to rely on this time and relies entirely on the quality of his own works.

Luo Quan said that there will be innovations in this action movie, so everyone inside and outside the industry is now staring at this movie that has already shown its extraordinary qualities to see where its innovations lie.

If the movie is really successful, it will be a huge inspiration for the entire action movie industry.

Although it is too early to think about this now, after watching the trailer released by Luo Quan, basically no one doubts the quality of the movie anymore.

Not to mention anything else, the picture quality and soundtrack alone are already top-notch.

The former is proof of spending a lot of money. For commercial films, it is not necessarily impossible to make a good movie without spending a lot of money. Low-cost can sometimes create box office miracles.

But if you spend a lot of money, the visual effects will definitely not stretch your hips, and even if the plot is not good, it will not prevent the audience from enjoying the movie.

As long as the audience enjoys watching it and is willing to spend money, it is considered a success for commercial movies.

As the name suggests, commercial films are all about business. It doesn't matter whether they have depth or not and whether they can win awards or not. Money is the criterion for judging their quality.

Of course, this standard does not apply to China, because the so-called big productions in China cannot see where the money is spent. Most of the movies that claim to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in special effects are sometimes inferior to those of big online movies. It doesn't look like a commercial blockbuster, but it looks like it's just a way to wash out your feelings in the name of making a blockbuster.

Xiaoxianrou must take the blame, but the problem definitely does not lie entirely with these celebrities.

In fact, Japan also has young talents, but unlike the domestic entertainment industry, Japanese stars generally charge relatively low fees. Even a top-notch movie only costs about 10 million yuan, and female stars are slightly more expensive, and it will not exceed 2,000 yuan. Wan, and even his acting skills are absolutely guaranteed.

Because in Japan, if you don’t have business skills, you have no way of living, unlike these domestic idols who can attract countless fans by dressing up in a girly way.

The actors Luo Quan invited this time were basically acting ones, and they didn't expect to be very famous. Except for the actor who played Saito Kazuo and her and Junko, the others were probably not even second-tier actors.

In other words, the total salary of these leading actors is less than one-tenth of the salary of a Chinese little fresh meat.

And when the actors' salaries are so low, the investment in the film still reached more than 180 million yuan, which shows how sophisticated director Luo Quan's production is this time.

Among other things, Luo Quan rented the best cameras from Hollywood for the film's photography equipment, which was charged on a daily basis. And because it was an action movie, it required a lot of camera positions, so she rented a lot of them.

She took photos and posted them on Twitter. People in the Japanese industry saw this and felt sad for her.

Even major directors in Japan cannot use these top-notch equipment in the Hollywood film industry at will. They can't even think about it without attracting several big companies to invest together.

As for the investors of "Rurouni Kenshin", there is only the name Luoquan Entertainment Co., Ltd. from beginning to end... In Japan, it should be called Luoquan Entertainment Co., Ltd.

It can only be said that being rich means being awesome. No wonder Luo Quan claimed after the filming of the movie that every screenshot of his movie can be used as wallpaper. The pictures from the cutting-edge movie-level cameras can be called wallpapers.

In comparison, the wonderful soundtrack that plays in the movie seems relatively ordinary.

Music is Luo Quan's specialty, and if there is any problem with the soundtrack, it will never be a problem here.

Taken together, "Rurouni Kenshin" has all the elements for success.

Quality, topicality, subject matter, everything is lacking.

If you insist that the subject matter is not good, it is because the era was not chosen well, but kendo and samurai have always been the favorites of young Japanese people, not to mention passion and fighting. Japan's title as the second country is actually unworthy.

However, just when everyone was extremely optimistic about "Rurouni Kenshin", Luo Quan announced the premiere time of the movie. If nothing unexpected happens, the release time will be June 27.

Good guy, it's just two days apart from "Titanic", so the schedules completely overlap.

Apart from being commendable for courage, industry insiders don’t know how to describe such a choice.

Courageous is a polite way of saying it, but Toutie probably fits the bill better.

What is "Titanic"? That was the masterpiece that even Ford, the director of "The Lord of the Rings", chose to avoid its edge.

Although he hasn't seen the movie yet, Director Carnason has never been so confident about the Oscars.

For his previous award-winning works, even if they have been shortlisted and nominated, he was quite nervous before the winner was actually announced.

But this time, when the movie was announced at the beginning, it was bluntly stated: I have decided on this Oscar.

Comparing the difference in the level of care before and after, you can imagine how excellent "Titanic" is.

And as the world's third largest film market, DAFUN's promotion of Japan is no weaker than that of China.

Luoquan is a trending topic on Twitter every day, and "Titanic" is directly on billboards in the subway, on big screens in buildings, and even on people's TV sets. It can be said to be everywhere.

With such a big stunt and such big publicity, you can imagine how many people will flock to the cinema to watch Big Ship.

After learning of Ofuna's exact release date, most movies in Japan that were scheduled to be released at the end of June chose to postpone it, specifically to free up space for Ofuna to work on alone.

Luo Quan, on the other hand, faced the difficulties directly, but he just didn't believe in this evil.

But having said that, with so many movies delayed, the only movies released at the same time that can be considered masterpieces are "Titanic" and "Rurouni Kenshin."

There will definitely be competition, but it doesn't seem to be any more intense than when six or seven movies are released at the same time.

From this point of view, everyone only thought about the first layer, while Luo Quan went directly to the atmosphere.

In fact, she herself is not as smart as people think. She chose to release the movie together with Da Fun just to rush for time. After one movie is finished, she still has at least two movies left. If the slightest thing delays the release, it won't be until the end of this year. Know that you can take breaks.

Anyway, Big Ship and "Rurouni Kenshin" are not the same type of movies. If they collide, they will collide. The Japanese film market is so big that it is impossible for one Big Ship to completely absorb them.

Moreover, she is quite confident in her movie, and overturning it should only be a small probability event.

Judging from her consistent good luck, there is not much difference between a small probability event and zero.

In short, the film has been submitted for review, theaters have begun arranging films, and promotions are in full swing.

The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Even if you regret it temporarily, there is no way out.

And judging from the comments from netizens after the trailer was released, it has already received rave reviews, and everything is ready for the next step.

The review passed quite smoothly, because Japan is not particularly strict about film standards, especially bloody scenes. Whether it is bleeding or severed hands, it is not a big deal to show it directly.

Therefore, there were not many things that needed to be deleted from the film that was submitted for review, and because Luo Quan had just written so many songs for the Olympic Committee, this side also gave the green light all the way.

Her good reputation is no longer here, and she has done a great favor to the government. Making movies has boosted the economy, and it is impossible to embarrass her emotionally or rationally.

After passing the review, the countdown to the release date of "Rurouni Kenshin" has officially begun.

In the following time, Luo Quan did not continue to operate on Twitter, but simply posted a number every day, that is, the number of how many days before the release, minus one every day.

As for herself, she took turns going to TV stations to promote the movie.

These TV stations include NTV, TBS, Asahi, and Fuji TV, which are the TV stations with the highest ratings. Sony took the initiative to connect them and chose the prime time in the evening.

After a TV episode is over, there should be a period of advertising, and this time period should also be the most expensive time period of the day. It is billed by the second, which literally costs millions per minute.

However, in order to insert the movie promotional video for Luo Quan, more than half of the advertising time was directly replaced.

Sony originally thought it would cost a lot of money to do so, but what they didn't expect was that the price was not much more expensive than the advertising fees in the early morning and afternoon periods.

When Sony asked for the reason, the TV station’s explanation was simply hilarious:

"In Japan, Luo Quan's ratings are high. Even if it's an advertisement, as long as she's willing to show her face, there will definitely be a lot of people willing to watch it!"

This kind of thinking may sound outrageous at first, but if you think about it carefully, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

In Japan, Luo Quan has long been a goddess. Unfortunately, the number of times she has appeared on TV is very pitiful. She only appeared once on Music Station when she first debuted, and then the part where "Don't Give Up" was released and was forced by the government to be broadcast nationwide. time.

It is worth mentioning that the ratings during this period were unexpectedly much higher than those of the programs broadcast before and after.

The major TV stations basically broadcast it at different times, so that after people watch Luo Quan singing on TV Asahi, they immediately jump to TV Tokyo to watch it again.

This kind of spectacle is so unheard of in the television industry that some experts call it the phenomenon of watching Rakusen, which is one of the major Rakusen phenomena in Japan.

After such an explanation, Sony's eager attitude towards the TV station was understood.

After the negotiation was completed, Sony immediately contacted Luo Quan to shoot a promotional video for the TV station. The content was to greet the audience, introduce the movie and his role in the movie, and then invite the audience to watch the movie.

Because the previous promotional video was not a TV interview, Luo Quan recorded a video for each of several TV stations.

The content is basically the same, except for some changes in the names of the TV stations.

After the short film was broadcast, the effect was as expected by the TV station.

Originally, the commercial time was the time when everyone changed channels and the ratings dropped. But when the audience was about to pick up the remote control to change channels after watching the TV, Luo Quan's beautiful face suddenly appeared on the TV.

Just like the character she played in the movie, she wore a company haori when filming the promotional video:

"Hello Mina-san, do you still remember me? I am Luo Quan..."

"Ouch..." I don't know how many boys who were watching the TV series shouted excitedly. Unexpectedly, they suddenly saw their wives. This is true, I will remember you even if you turn into ashes!

"The action movie "Rurouni Kenshin" that I wrote, directed and starred in will be released soon. This time I will play the protagonist Kenshin in the movie and show everyone what happened after the end of the Act..."

After a brief introduction to the movie, Luo Quan told it quite vividly, but the boys obviously didn't listen too much because their attention was all on the people of Luo Quan.

This Luo Quan in samurai uniform is so beautiful. She is exactly the image of a beauty in ancient costume that I imagined. Even comics can’t draw such a beautiful heroine!

"On June 26, I hope everyone can go to the cinema to watch "Rurouni Kenshin". I believe it will not disappoint everyone."

At this point, Luo Quan also bowed to express his thanks as usual.

As parents who provide food and clothing, this kind of courtesy is not an exaggeration.

In the past, viewers would feel that the commercial time was too long, and they would be eager to finish it quickly so they could watch the next episode of the TV series.

But now, I feel that the time is too short, it only lasted a few minutes.

But it doesn’t matter, this promotional video will be broadcast for five consecutive days, and not only during prime time in the evening, it will be broadcast every morning, noon, and afternoon.

Originally this was just an advertisement, but the TV station treated it as a flagship program.

The performance of the advertisement did not live up to the expectations of the TV station leaders. Every time the advertisement was broadcast, the ratings skyrocketed. This was simply the code of wealth!

"It's a pity that this advertisement cannot be released after the 26th." A group of leaders were happy, but also felt very regretful.
