Chapter 503 What Is High-Cost Investment?
"Don't be too sensitive, everyone. I just returned to China to shoot a movie. After filming, I will go back to school." In order to avoid misunderstanding among Japanese fans, Luo Quan quickly clarified on Twitter.
Because she has a "criminal record", Japanese fans are very sensitive and thought she was trying to make another excuse to run away. Although I haven't heard of anyone giving Luo Quan a hard time recently, they still came out in droves to apologize on Twitter. In order to win over, some talents even directly recorded videos of bowing.
Luo Quan felt a little bit dumbfounded by this. There was no way he could reach this point, but it made her a little embarrassed.
However, considering Japan's national conditions, bowing is also a relatively common action. When encountering any problem, the first thing that comes to mind is to bow first. As for how to solve the problem, that is a matter later.
Luo Quan had learned this trick when he was hacked by Ai Hui Company. After the incident was exposed, the director of Ai Hui Company used this method to win the sympathy and forgiveness of the public.
However, Luo Quan could not accept this result at all at the time, but she was not as famous as she is now, so she could only let it go.
Nowadays, no celebrities or companies dare to openly oppose her. There must still be black men in private, but most of them are individual behaviors, and they have a good grasp of the degree of blackness, walking on the edge of breaking the law. Luo Quan uses these People don’t have any good ideas.
It's like a mosquito hovering above your head. It's disgusting, but you can't kill it.
As for the Japanese fans here, they overreacted and had some misunderstandings about her intention to return to China. Fortunately, Luo Quan had nothing to do during her vacation. Apart from playing computer games and checking her mobile phone, she quickly saw the fans The reaction was also explained immediately.
After receiving the explanation, the worries of Japanese fans were finally calmed down a lot, and soon fans began to wonder what the plot of Luo Quan's new movie called "The Queen Wears Chanel" would be like.
During the previous live broadcast, Luo Quan only talked about a general inspiration for the theme, and said that he would play a queen-like role. He did not reveal the rest, and his tone was quite strict.
It happened to be mentioned here, and fans asked questions directly on Twitter.
However, Luo Quan has always maintained restraint on this, and just asked everyone to wait patiently, and will slowly reveal the details of the movie to everyone later.
A new project has just been finalized, and the corresponding confidentiality work must be done well, and she has never been one to speak out.
Now that Chanel has secured sponsorship, Luo Quan sent cooperation invitations to several other luxury brands, such as Gucci, LV, and Dior, before returning to China.
For a fashion blockbuster, it is definitely not enough for Chanel to be the only brand. As the saying goes, it is not spring that stands out alone. Only when all kinds of big names come together can it be called a fashion blockbuster.
On this point, Luo Quan stated before signing the contract with Chanel President Yalan. At first, they wanted exclusive sponsorship rights. However, after Luo Quan made it clear about the stakes and promised to give Chanel the most exposure, he still agreed. down.
As for the remaining brands, Luoquan is also casting a wide net to catch more fish.
She is a favorite here at Chanel, but before the contract ends, she is not much different from her competitors to other brands. I don’t know if these brands will be rewarded by inviting these brands for this cooperation.
But it stands to reason that with her current fame and traffic, it shouldn't be too difficult to cooperate with these brands.
The key lies in how much these brands value this so-called advertising space in the movie. Anyway, she stated in the invitation that Chanel has already boarded the car, and there are not many advertising spaces left. If you want to come sooner, it will be gone if you are late. location.
In this negotiation technique, Luo Quan actually used some prisoner's dilemma psychology.
As we all know, Luo Quan is currently a hen that lays golden eggs with an extremely high reputation in the world. Whether you are collaborating with her to produce a work or letting her be an endorsement, it is a sure-fire deal, and you will make money if you sign in.
Now there is an opportunity to cooperate with them. Although the best position has been taken away by Chanel, the remaining seats are definitely quite valuable. Perhaps this value is not necessary for these big names.
However, if you don't take it and let other big names get it, the difference between this return and the return will be quite considerable.
Therefore, no brand will give up this opportunity easily without being sure that other brands are not interested in this seat.
Therefore, after Luo Quan's cooperation invitation email was sent out, almost all brands expressed their willingness to cooperate. They would provide clothing and Luo Quan would send them advertisements in the movie.
In this way, Luo Quan almost solved one of the biggest expenses of the entire movie, that is, the costumes, with a blank slate.
As for another big expense, she also thought of a solution.
As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. Good-looking clothes must be matched with a good-looking mount to complement each other.
The mounts in modern cities are definitely not white horses, but various luxury sports cars.
As for clothing, Luo Quan has several wardrobes with limited editions of various brands, which would be enough to film a documentary on the history of fashion evolution.
But when it comes to cars, she only has a Lamborghini Poison, which she uses to be sure to be popular, but it's not enough to support the dazzling scenes of all the luxury cars in the movie.
At this time, I have to ask my dad for help.
"Du-du-du"
After the phone rang for three provinces, it was answered:
"Hey daughter, why are you calling daddy all of a sudden?" Eric thought his daughter was missing him and his wife, so he called her to say hello.
Luo Quan wasn't too polite. After all, she called her parents on holidays and so on: "Dad, I remember you have a lot of luxury cars in the United States, right?"
"I loved this stuff when I was young, so I collected hundreds of millions of them. Now I rarely use them. They basically eat dust in the underground garage of my New York villa."
"Approximately how many vehicles are there?"
"More than a hundred, right?" Eric thought for a while and gave a number that was not particularly accurate. "Not all of them are in the garages of New York villas. There are also some in residences in other continents. What, you want to buy a new car? Then I will buy you a new one directly, these models are relatively old and not suitable for girls."
Luo Quan shook his head and explained: "It's not about buying a new car. I'm going to shoot a movie recently and I need a lot of luxury cars, so I want to borrow a few from you."
At the end, Luo Quan added: "I promise I will cherish it very much!"
"Hey, what do I think?" Eric smiled, "When you go to New York, just ask Leon for the garage key. You can use whichever one you want. Build it however you want! If you break it, it's mine. .”
"No, I'm not filming police vs. speedsters." Luo Quan chuckled, "That's it for now, help me say hello to mom, and drink less. Drinking too much of that stuff is bad for your health. "
"I know, you have to lose weight in moderation, and don't starve yourself no matter what." Eric smiled happily and gave his daughter a few words.
After hanging up the phone, Eric looked at the phone, seemingly thinking about something.
At this time, Luo Ni came over, touched her belly with her hand, and asked, "Is it your daughter who called?"
"Well, you came to borrow a car from me and asked me to say hello to you." Eric slowly pulled Luo Ni to his side and sat down, then leaned forward and put his ear to hers.
Luo Ni glanced at him angrily: "You are stupid, what can you hear in just one month?"
"Haha, I'm just getting used to it in advance." There was a smile in Eric's eyes that couldn't be concealed.
Ever since he learned that his wife was pregnant more than half a month ago, the smile on his face has never disappeared and he has always been in a very happy state.
As a father with three adult children, he was actually very unqualified. He had no involvement in the growth of his two daughters. The only son who was by his side was taught by his grandfather most of the time.
Although these three children all had extraordinary achievements in the end, they actually had little to do with him. This was what Eric felt most regretful and ashamed about.
Even now he is trying every means to make up for it, and even though his children are relieved and no longer blame him, there are still shortcomings after all, and he himself cannot pretend that nothing happened.
But at least he won't be wrong forever. Now his wife is pregnant with another baby. Whether it's a son or a daughter, he will use his best efforts to protect him/her so that he/she will no longer experience the same childhood experiences as his older brothers and sisters. Pity.
"Have you decided on a name for the baby?" Luo Ni snuggled into her husband's arms and asked happily.
Eric said softly: “If it’s a boy, let’s call him Ericson.
If it's a girl...then call her Judy. "
……………………
Luo Quan didn't know that she was going to have a younger brother or sister soon. After acquiring her father's garage, she also posted her first reveal about the movie on Station B:
"The bulk of the investment in the new movie has basically been secured, and the cost will be exaggerated. Next, we will gradually release physical photos of the investment. Everyone can guess what the final investment in the movie will reach."
Luo Quan has now pointed out the first selling point of the movie, which is the high cost.
However, fans in the comment area were still a little hesitant at first:
"Now that I see the words "big budget", my head hurts. Any movie with these three words is not bad, and the higher the cost, the worse it will be."
"Haha, that's true, but you don't have to doubt Luo Quan's level. No matter how bad the shooting is, it will not be worse than these domestic products."
"Produced by Luo Quan, it must be a high-quality product. As for what the final film will look like, let's look forward to the follow-up news."
"Speaking of how high the cost of an urban comedy can be, I watched a movie with two leading actors, one being you and the other being an artist from your company. Do you still want to charge your own sky-high salary?"
"Yes, Luo Quan's current salary starts at least 300 million RMB. If you give yourself a salary, it will be counted as income. After paying taxes, you will still lose tens of millions."
"You are the pioneer of charity, right? If domestic celebrities and rich people are taken advantage of by people like this, why worry about poor people not being able to live a good life?"
“I can’t imagine how much more expensive a movie on this subject could be, except for a few clothes.”
"You're not going to invite a few young guys to irritate my eyes, are you?"
"Don't. If this is true, I won't watch it even if it was taken by Luo Quan."
………………
Seeing this, Luo Quan smiled and said: "Don't worry, everyone, I will strictly control the casting of the movie. What you are worried about will never happen."
Netizens quickly responded:
"It's okay if you don't have it. As long as it doesn't disgust me, no matter how it turns out, I will give you a movie ticket."
"I'm looking forward to the new movie, and should I also consider the new album?"
"This... the trilingual album was released not long ago. Do you want to rush it? Even a sow has to wait for a while to give birth."
"What a strange metaphor, but the words are crude but not crude."
"Although I'm afraid you'll be tired, I really want to sing new songs. It doesn't matter if they are Chinese songs or not."
………………
"A new song is coming out, but it won't be sung by me." Luo Quan knows how fans want to hear the new song, but she really doesn't know what to do. Now the new movie project has just started, and there are many things to prepare and plan. Energy is really limited.
If you only release a single, you can still squeeze in some time to record, but if you make an album, it's not realistic.
Therefore, she is not planning to release a new album in the short term at least.
But it’s not that there are no new songs, they are just ones she has composed before.
Before Creating Boyhood was aired, Zhou Yangwen asked her to produce the group's debut album. In response to the sky-high production fee, she released two songs, which gained a lot of popularity and praise in idol circles at home and abroad.
She has already written the remaining six songs of the album and handed them over to Manager Zhou. When "Planet Bang" debuts, these songs will be released together.
After Luo Quan explained the reason, the male fans did not show much dissatisfaction.
In the past domestic men's team auditions, the more feminine the more popular they were. The members selected by Planet Explosion this time are generally more in line with the aesthetics of normal people.
The normal people here refer to normal women and men. Not only women like to look at handsome guys, but boys also like to look at them.
Handsome guys and beauties with good looks can always gain favor easily, and Luo Quan and Leon know this very well.
There are definitely jealous people, but in comparison, these idols are much better than those sissies. In addition, this is a global audition, and those who can advance are both strong and beautiful, so the reputation of the show is quite good so far. It's a blast, with basically no flaws.
In this way, even Station B, which has never been too fond of fans, does not have much prejudice against this show.
So this time, although Luo Quan did not sing the new song herself, since it was written by her, you can still listen to it.
