Chapter 488 Release (2)

The few days before the movie was released were the most relaxing days for Luo Quan in a month. There was no need for work and no pressure.

Other directors worry about gains and losses before the movie is released. They are worried about the box office and their pockets. They hope to gain fame and fortune, but they are also afraid of a box office failure and a bad reputation.

But Luo Quan is different. She is not too worried about the results she is about to achieve. With her fame, just shooting a few minutes of commercials can increase the ratings of major TV stations so much. This appeal Simply don't be too awesome.

With such appeal, there is no possibility of box office failure.

As for word-of-mouth, the plot of this movie is solid, there aren't many controversial aspects, and it's impossible for it to crash.

What she hopes is to use this movie to bring new elements to the Japanese action movie market. To put it bluntly, it is innovation.

However, this is a more advanced pursuit, which is more difficult than achieving good box office and good reputation. Luo Quan doesn't know whether rigid film producers will recognize such an action movie.

However, if "Rurouni Kenshin" achieves great success, investors will definitely recognize it. As long as capital comes in, everything will be easy to say.

By then, various similar action movies will be released one after another, just like "Resident Evil" started the zombie craze, by then "Rurouni Kenshin" will also become the originator, and a big IP will be established again. .

Of course, these are Luo Quan's imagination of the most ideal conditions. No one can say for sure what will happen yet. "Rurouni Kenshin" may be a big hit, or it may just be a small hit. It all depends on the release. The audience later reflected.

Promotional advertisements are being broadcast on major TV stations, and there are also related news about Sony on major platforms. As a leading presence in Japan's audiovisual field, Sony's influence can be said to be everywhere.

Just like Samsung in South Korea, Sony is closely related to the lives of almost all Japanese citizens, but it is not as exaggerated as Samsung.

With such a large company as its backing and its full-scale publicity and distribution work, the effect is needless to say.

It didn't take long for "Rurouni Kenshin" to be well-known across the country. As long as people watch TV or surf the Internet, there is no one who doesn't know about it. Even if some people haven't watched it carefully, they have definitely seen related push notifications. , I knew there was such a movie.

After catching a glimpse of a series of keywords such as Luo Quan, samurai, Feitian Yujian style, vow not to kill, living sword, etc., you will more or less become interested.

Once you are interested, everything will be easier. Even if you don't go to see the movie immediately, you will have such an impression in your mind that after a few days when the movie's reputation grows, you will definitely go to the cinema to see it.

This is not just Luo Quan’s idea, but also the view of Sony’s senior executives responsible for this business.

After the film is finished, I will send it for review and show them the finished film to consider how to promote it.

If the movie is not well shot, then the trailer will cut out all the best parts and use it as a headline to attract the audience.

If the movie is shot well, just edit it normally, mainly to highlight the characteristics of the movie and the starring role. Some types can be edited to be more mysterious and arouse the audience's curiosity.

The finished film delivered by Luo Quan belongs to the third category. From the perspective of commercial action films, it is top-notch. There is no need to consider how to edit, because the fighting scenes in it are all classics, and any scene shot looks like a photo. Exquisite.

How else do I need to cut this? Just put in a few random lenses and that's it.

Anyway, after watching the film, the executives had a completely new understanding of Luo Quan's filmmaking skills.

In the past, Sony internally gave Luo Quan the highest level of authority to release a new album. As long as she released Japanese songs, there was no need to think about it. She could just get the copyright and print a CD. There was no possibility of losing money.

This is the extreme trust she gained from her first hit Japanese song since her debut. The only people who can receive this kind of treatment are the few music queens who became popular throughout Asia at the beginning of the century.

After these singers retired one by one, only Luo Quan could enjoy such treatment again for many years.

And now, she may get the same preferential treatment in the film field.

However, Sony will definitely not tell Luo Quan about this kind of thing. They are afraid that if they tell Luo Quan, it will make Luo Quan slack off and lead to a decline in the quality of the work.

After all, Luo Quan is famous all over the world for her laziness. It's good to have a job. The sense of urgency to complete the task can drive her to use her superb talents to do everything that ordinary people can't do.

But if there are no tasks to be completed, she can stay at home 24 hours a day, and may not even get out of bed except to go to the toilet.

Don't think this is a joke, Luo Quan already showed how strong her determination was when she did a live broadcast last year.

For the whole day, except for opening the door for the waiter who delivered the food, going to the toilet, and taking a shower, she never left the big bed. From getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, the number of steps in the penguin on her mobile phone clearly showed zero.

So much so that at that time, many "experts" and "teachers" criticized Luo Quan's lifestyle as too depressing and devoid of vitality, and that he was simply bringing down the young people of China.

Luo Quan expressed that she was wronged because her lifestyle is a true reflection of many young people.

She didn't know about other things, but Lin Yizhu, Lu Yao, Zhang Yun and others were like her on weekends, paralyzed from morning to night?

It's just that they like to go shopping and occasionally go out for a few laps. They are not as homely as she is.

Of course, she didn't mean that this was the right thing to do. She also knew that such a lifestyle was not good, but she couldn't afford to lead the young people of China into bad situations.

From then on, Luo Quan rarely went to bed during live broadcasts. He basically sat at the computer desk, and the live broadcast time was much less.

As a result, those "experts" who criticized Luo Quan were directly blocked on Weibo by fans.

Last summer vacation was the most indulgent period for Luo Quan. After the beginning of the new year, she also deliberately adjusted her lifestyle and increased the amount of exercise, such as sit-ups and push-ups, which are simple but practical exercises.

In addition, she has been practicing yoga, combined with the slimming tea she brought back from the UK. After combining the two, the effect is already obvious.

Now her weight has been reduced to 118. Considering her height and figure, this weight is no longer considered heavy.

However, Luo Quan feels that it is better to keep it at 55KG, so that even if she suddenly indulges for a period of time and causes her weight to rebound, she will still have enough buffer space to prevent her from losing control directly.

In the past few days when he returned to Tokyo after filming the movie, Luo Quan didn't go out much. He just stayed in the hotel to surf the Internet and do aerobic exercise as usual.

A period of busy work made her feel a little tired, so she took this time to adjust her mental state.

As for the school, it was still early to leave school, so she didn't need to worry at all.

During this period, everyone from the band Love music came to the hotel to get together. From the conversation with them, I learned that everyone in the band seemed to be in love.

Miyano Natsuko and Amuro have been in love for a long time, and Kamiya Suzune was licked by Sato Shuichi who had been licking her affectionately and persistently.

Although Luo Quan was surprised when he heard about it, but if he thought about it carefully, it was a foreshadowing, and it would happen sooner or later.

Besides, being in your early 20s is a time when young people are ignorant. It is normal for college students to fall in love. Not everyone is like Luo Quan, determined not to find a boyfriend.

Speaking of which, after Kamiya Suzune told Luo Quan about their relationship status, she once again asked Luo Quan what he thought. After all, good friends found partners one after another, so they shouldn't be touched at all.

This is actually true, because not only them, Seifert is also in love. After Shang Yi's three roommates leave, no one will suppress their glory, and more and more boys will chat with them. , If you don’t keep it together, something good will happen one day.

I'm afraid that in another year or two, she will really be the only one left among these people around her.

But what about the tired Wadokara (so what)?

What does other people's love have to do with her? It's just an extra share of money when they get married in the future.

For people like Miyano Natsuko and An Shiyu, she can still give them one less.

As for the so-called touch, she really didn't feel it too much.

After all, there are not as many boys chasing her now as before, and there are only two who are thief-minded, and they are only thief-hearted, and the thief's courage has long been wiped out.

Under such circumstances, she wouldn't have the conditions to be touched too much.

When her friends fall in love, she only needs to send her blessings. As for the rest...thinking about it so much is just adding to the worries.

Seeing that Luo Quan was so determined, Kamiya Suzune and others did not say anything more about this matter, knowing that she was preparing to go all the way to the dark side...

On the evening of June 25, in a theater in Ginza, Tokyo, there were many stars gathered here today, all of whom were invited to attend the premiere of "Rurouni Kenshin".

As a masterpiece with an investment of 3 billion yen, the premiere naturally needs to be grand and grand.

Although Luo Quan, as a director, only knew Sakura Hoshino in the Japanese film and television industry, he had never spoken to anyone else, let alone had any friendship.

However, I can't resist people wanting to take the initiative to get acquainted with her.

After the movie's release date was announced, a lot of emails signed by the star's names appeared in the mailbox. Most of them were congratulating her in advance on her box office success and asking where the premiere would be.

These people, Luo Quan, were certainly not stupid enough to refuse or throw them into the trash can. They all responded politely and sent the time and place of the event.

However, the ones who take the initiative to send emails are all third-tier stars and below. Those with a bigger reputation usually don't take the initiative to ask. Even if she is very popular now, too much initiative will be too low.

Fortunately, she has Sony. As the sole organizer of the announcement, they are naturally responsible for the premiere. Naturally, these big-name stars were also invited by Sony.

With Luo Quan and Sony's honorable invitations, except for a few who were really unavailable, everyone else was basically present.

So even though Luo Quan doesn't have many acquaintances in the industry, the premiere of "Rurouni Kenshin" is still full of stars.

Speaking of which, this was the first time for her to attend a premiere as a director and for an older girl to get on a sedan chair.

Originally, this should have happened when "Resident Evil" was released. Unfortunately, she had not proven herself as a director at that time. After the film was completed, there was no splash. Only Netflix expressed interest in the film, so the film was released. When it is released online, the premiere part is naturally omitted.

In the previous premieres she attended, she stood next to the director as a vase and sang a song without saying a word. Now that she is the director and in charge of the overall situation, to be honest, she is really nervous.

However, before the premiere, she had watched a lot of video materials and knew what the process was.

In fact, it is about the creative background of the film, the relevant legends and historical documents behind it.

Then there are the interesting or touching things that happened during the filming. Note that if there are young people in the movie, this part is a more important part.

The director or veteran actor must praise the young actor, praise him for his hard work, praise his improvement in acting skills, in short, praise him for anything. After the praise is over, the media will start to brag...

Luo Quan actually watched a lot of premieres on the movie channel when she was a child. At that time, she thought the movie would be shown directly, so she stupidly kept listening to the chatter of these people on the stage.

As a result, more than an hour passed and we didn't see the movie until the chat was over.

Later she learned that the premiere was just like the preface or chapter of a book. It just told the audience about the creator's journey. If you really wanted to see the content, you had to pay for it yourself.

Luo Quan felt that it would be too boring to just chat. As she likes to live a busy life, she did not hesitate to have all the main creators come out at the premiere wearing costumes from the movie.

In a costume action movie, it would be too dramatic to wear a suit and dress. Wearing a costume can make you feel more immersed.

In addition to wearing costumes, Luo Quan also gave a swordsmanship performance directly to the audience and the audience in front of the TV at the premiere.

In addition to letting Yagyu Kouta perform the Yagyu family's swordsmanship, she also personally went into battle to perform the long-lost Beichen One-sword Style.

According to her, in this movie, in addition to the Feitian sword-fighting style in the setting, she will also join the swordsmanship of Beichen Yidao style.

Now she has used one first. If you are interested, you can see the difference between the two sword skills in the movie.

Young people are always very interested in this swordsmanship genre whose name sounds like a handsome one.

There is no doubt that Luo Quan's unique premiere once again surprised the audience.

However, this is just an appetizer tonight, the real surprise can be found in the movie.

ps. Thank you to the book friends who feel unbalanced and don’t eat coriander for the book coins. Thank you very much!
