Chapter 391 A Genre Film that Has Never Appeared Before
"This movie is not bad, it was shot very well."
"It feels like the best movie in recent years!"
"Director Jiang's directing skills and acting skills go hand in hand. It's so exciting to have three movie stars on the same stage!"
………………
After the premiere, the audience came out one after another after watching the movie. Almost everyone praised "Let the Bullets Fly".
Outside the cinema, a large number of reporters were waiting for a long time, hoping to interview the audience's impressions of "Let the Bullets Fly" immediately.
The reviews it has received are basically all good. There is nothing faulty about the plot, acting, music, and pictures. It is an excellent movie that makes people enjoy it after watching it!
In less than four hours, there was a lively discussion about it on Zhihu. Many experts immediately rewatched the movie after watching it, writing down some details in the movie and analyzing it.
The result is that this is not an ordinary Republic of China drama, and there are quite a few metaphors hidden behind it.
Without the analysis by these masters, many viewers would not even be able to understand what Director Jiang Wen really wants to tell in the movie.
And the next morning, with GQT naming and praising it, "Let the Bullets Fly" completely began its road to success in theaters across the country.
It is foreseeable that such a well-received and connotative film will inevitably leave an indelible mark on the history of Chinese film.
However, it is estimated that it will be difficult to break the tens of billions box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
And just as "Let the Bullets Fly" became famous, Luo Quan also received good news.
After returning from the theater, a prompt appeared on the system early the next morning:
“Congratulations to the host for achieving a hidden achievement, participating in two classic movies and leaving a deep impression on the audience.
Achievement reward: an unopened limited-time mission.
Mission reward: a mysterious gift package containing at least three high-level drawing cards. "
It's the matryoshka style that the system is used to.
When he first saw the conditions for achieving the achievement, Luo Quan thought that he had already accomplished the task he took last year. After a closer look, he realized that it was not the case. If he wanted to complete it, he still had to wait for the release of "The Lord of the Rings".
However, it is always a good thing to complete a hidden achievement, and you can also receive a mission. The rewards for completing the mission are also quite generous...
"Show task requirements." But Luo Quan's mood was not relaxed at all. She knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, and the tasks assigned by the system were usually very difficult for her...
"Task requirements:
The total time required to shoot a movie starring yourself and achieve a box office of more than one billion yuan must not exceed three months. You have one week to consider whether to accept the task. After one week, any unaccepted tasks will automatically disappear, and there will be no consequences if the task fails. punish.
Note: This task is a rare chain task. If successfully completed, the next task will be opened, and the rewards will be more generous! "
After reading the description, Luo Quan just wanted to say that it was indeed a reward for the mission. It was indeed very generous, but at the same time it was also very difficult. He wrote, directed and acted in it in three months, and the box office would exceed one billion yuan.
Time is really too tight.
Although there are many scripts in the mall that can be exchanged for small costs and high returns, Ivy is not popular yet, and she cannot get many shooting details.
So even if there is no script, she can't make it happen by herself.
The director's skills can be redeemed, but a good movie must also include the director's thoughts and lens art, which cannot be made quickly.
However, not all movies require ideas or artistic sense.
Popcorn movies like most B-movies don't need so much connotation, they just need to be enjoyable for the audience.
The movies Luo Quan has watched the most are popcorn movies. The plots are simple, exciting and exciting, and very easy to remember.
There were many scripts that she was sure to reproduce even if she didn't redeem them in the mall.
And the most important thing is that B-level movies have low cost, fast production and high returns. As commercial movies, they have almost no difference except that they have no connotation.
But then again, what connotation does a commercial movie need? It’s okay to be brainless!
However, considering that this is a serial mission, it is best to choose a B-level movie that can make a sequel.
The name of a movie quickly came to Luo Quan's mind, and it basically met all his requirements:
It’s a great heroine, it’s fun, it’s profitable, there’s a sequel, and the cost isn’t particularly high!
By the way, has this type of movie ever appeared in this world? A question suddenly appeared in Luo Quan's mind.
I quickly picked up my phone and searched, and it seemed that there really wasn’t any!
Luo Quan smiled, God helped her.
If there were no movies of this type in the world, it would be hard to imagine what kind of shock or horror it would bring to the audience after it appeared on the big screen.
And as his imagination continued to open up, a bigger plan slowly emerged in Luo Quan's mind...
In Principal Shangyi's office, Principal Li was surprised after hearing what Luo Quan said: "You want to suspend school?!"
"Yes." Luo Quan nodded, "Suddenly I wanted to go out for a walk to find creative inspiration."
Principal Li fell into deep thought.
He knows very well how important inspiration is to a creator.
This is a gift from the God of Art to all creators and is the key to their success.
For a genius like Luo Quan, inspiration is more important than anything else. When she said she was looking for inspiration, it must be that the current environment has made it impossible for her to write new works.
If he forced himself to stay in Luoquan to complete his studies, who knows what earth-shattering music the world would miss.
He cannot bear this responsibility.
"You can leave school at any time to find inspiration, but there is no need to take a break. Just let it go with the time. You don't have to worry about final exams. I will say hello to your subject teacher."
Luo Quan nodded: "Thank you, principal."
Principal Li smiled: "There is not much the school can do to help you, and you can only rely on yourself to create.
I hope that in the near future, you can come up with great works that will impress the world again! "
"Definitely!" Luo Quan agreed without hesitation.
"Are you leaving?" In the dormitory, when the girls saw Luo Quan packing his luggage, their eyes were surprised at first, and then full of reluctance.
"Why is it so sudden?" Lu Yao has always been emotionally delicate, and her eyes turned red as she spoke.
Yesterday we had dinner and watched a movie together, but today we parted suddenly, which was really unexpected for her.
Luo Quan was helpless and touched at Lu Yao's reaction: "Oh, it's not like I'm not coming back, I'm just going to the United States for three months, and I'll be back when school starts next year, so I'll just take a few changes of clothes and go. "
"It's like letting the winter vacation in advance." Lin Yizhu comforted Lu Yao, "Our school has always ended relatively early. In previous years, it would have ended around December 20th."
"Let's play for one more month, I'm so tired." Zhang Yun's words made the big guy laugh.
After packing his luggage, Luo Quan hugged his roommates one by one and said goodbye, and wiped Lu Yao's tears by the way.
Luo Quan was extremely busy these days while waiting for his visa at home.
While helping Ivy produce her album, she was also looking for a high-quality crew for Su Yu.
In short, before going abroad, arrange all the careers of your artists properly.
Speaking of which, it's fortunate that talent in the entertainment industry is withering now.
Ever since the release of The Banquet of Heaven and Sea, beautiful women without any stains have become a scarce resource.
When Luo Quan took Su Yu's photo to apply for the female lead role, he encountered almost no resistance and passed the job very smoothly.
But when the contract was signed, the crew discovered that the artist's boss was prettier.
After everything was arranged, Luo Quan also got on the plane to New York.
Of course, the first choice for making movies is Universal Studios Hollywood, which controls the production and production of more than half of the world's film and television content.
But right now, she is empty-handed and has no preparations. It is not the time to shoot a movie right away.
As the saying goes, if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. She still needs to prepare a lot of things.
The first thing is funds. After arriving in the United States, she checked her bank card balance and found that she only had less than six million US dollars in deposits. It was really pitiful.
Fortunately, she is good at being a white wolf with empty gloves. The United States lacks everything except money!
"Borrow money?" Leon gnawed on chicken legs on the sofa, not caring about the daily calorie intake set by Seifert for him.
Luo Quan said helplessly: "Yes, I have spent all my money recently, so I can only borrow it from you."
Leon seemed to have heard a joke: "Are you kidding me? You have sold tens of millions of albums, will you be short of money?"
Luo Quan explained: "Isn't this a jade seal I bought at an auction a while ago? I spent 200 million in one go, and then I ran out of money."
"Is that the national jade seal?" Leon put down the drumstick and wiped his mouth with a tissue: "But this should be your property after the auction. Even if you can't own it, you can still get equivalent compensation. .”
Luo Quan blushed: "Because I donated it for free."
Leon was speechless for a moment: "The cost of your patriotism is really high..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Do you want to borrow it or not?" Luo Quan said anxiously, "Don't blame me for not telling you. I didn't borrow the money to spend it randomly, but to make a movie!"
"Making a movie?" Leon was stunned, "Then you might as well spend the money randomly, whether it's buying a car, a house or luxury goods, even if you throw it into the water, it will make a sound.
If you make a movie, there is a high probability that you will lose all your money. "
"You look down on me so much?" Luo Quan was a little unconvinced, "With my intelligence, is there anything in this world that I can't do?"
"I spent my own money to make the movie." Leon said quietly.
"I…………"
At this moment, Luo Quan really wanted to punch this smooth-tongued guy and let him understand what the majesty of a sister meant.
At this time, Seifert also arrived.
Before he could praise Luoquan, Leon waved and shouted: "Hey, you're just in time, come and analyze her."
"What are you analyzing?" Seifert asked as he sat on the sofa.
Leon smiled and said: "My sister wants to make a movie, but now she is short of start-up funds. You know something about this, do a risk assessment for her."
"What does it mean to know more or less?" Seifert showed great dissatisfaction with his professional level being questioned. "This is what I do, expert, you know!"
Then he looked at Luo Quan: "You said you want to make a movie. Do you know how to direct, photograph, and script?"
"I've taken the time to learn it." Luo Quan crossed his arms, the old god was there.
"Okay, I know you are a genius. This won't trouble you." Seifert gave a thumbs up, and then continued: "Then tell me about the type of movie you want to make, its classification, and the general plot. I'll see if you have any No head start."
"It's a B-level thriller." Luo Quan took out a stack of scripts from his schoolbag. There was a line of black English on the cover:
Resident Evil
Luo Quan watched Seifert flipping through the script and explained: "This is a brand new monster image. I checked the information and found that the only similar monsters are the living dead.
That was a corpse crawling out of a cemetery, which is not the same thing as mine. Moreover, it has not been on the big screen for decades, so the audience will not suffer from aesthetic fatigue. "
"If you are bitten to death, you will turn into a zombie... It sounds quite novel." Seifert glanced at it briefly and put down the script.
"How's it going?" Luo Quan asked nervously, "Actually, I also set up a lot of foreshadowing in the script. In addition to movies, there are also shooting plans for related TV series. What I want to create is a zombie universe!"
"I thought about it a lot." Leon complained, picking up the script and reading it.
"It's not that we haven't done anything yet." After thinking about it, Seifert replied:
“Thriller and horror movies generally fall into two broad categories.
One is to use plasma and residual limbs to create physical nausea and fear in the audience, and the other is to create psychological fear by heightening the tense atmosphere.
But no matter what genre it is, as long as it can scare the audience, it is a good thriller movie.
This requires a lot of skill as a director. Are you really sure you can make a scary movie? "
Luo Quan said confidently: "Of course I am sure. I will never make a decision that I am not sure about."
In fact, the charm of Resident Evil goes far beyond being scary. Fighting zombies is actually its real pleasure.
But Seiffert and Lyon would definitely not understand it now.
However, even if we only focus on creating horror, Resident Evil has also contributed many famous horror scenes in film and television. It is definitely not difficult to scare the audience.
Seifert finally nodded in agreement: "There is no problem with creativity and the direction of efforts. At present, thrillers like this in the United States are still very easy to sell. People are under a lot of pressure and need to scream loudly to release the pressure. As long as the filming is good, no Worry about not being able to make money."
"So how much do you want to borrow?" Leon asked because he planned to transfer the money.
In fact, he never thought about not borrowing it. The main reason was that he was afraid that his sister would be blindly confident and lose money in the end.
"Thirty million US dollars, but it may not be enough. It may be more." Luo Quan gave a rough quotation.
"In this way, Leon and I will each contribute 20 million. Any profit will be yours, and any loss will be ours." Seifert said very generously.
Luo Quan looked confident: "Don't worry, we can't compensate you!"
