Chapter 956 Crazy Racing (3)
"This year's Mid-Autumn Festival Gala is a bit interesting. Internet celebrities have come to perform."
Wen Xia was eating walnut kernels on the sofa, and it was hard to tell whether his tone was teasing or mocking.
In order to save the party's ratings, which have dropped rapidly after a slight improvement, this Mid-Autumn Festival party not only invited many Internet celebrities, but also invited a lot of fresh meat, just to firmly grasp the young people's market.
However, I had originally hoped that the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala would not be subject to such strict censorship and would not teach everyone a lesson during this reunion time, so the skit might be funnier.
The result is still so bad. Let’s not talk about lip-synching. The cooperation between Internet celebrities and traffic stars really stretches the crotch, which is not interesting at all.
It can be seen that they have tried their best to bring everyone happiness, but unfortunately their abilities are limited and they are really unable to do what they want.
The only highlight of the entire party was probably the medley of songs by Hong Kong and Mainland singers on the same stage.
The scene was lively and full of memories, but there was only one highlight moment.
Only then did the audience realize that these galas had actually been going downhill, but that year they just happened to be a little better than before, so they gave everyone the illusion that they were getting better.
Now this is back to the normal level, so it looks very stretched.
Everyone knows the truth, but the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala with such a crotch-heightening style still aroused dissatisfaction among netizens.
Fortunately, it is only the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala, which is far less important than the Spring Festival Gala. There are not many people watching, so the complaints are not particularly loud.
And because it actually went well last year, everyone’s tolerance is still relatively high.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone began to think about the Spring Festival Gala:
"It's okay to stretch your hips during the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Just don't stretch your hips during the Spring Festival Gala."
"I heard that many old artists have been invited to this Spring Festival Gala, and it is planned to be a big event."
"I only know that Wang Mian is going to the Spring Festival Gala and will be cooperating with Da Zhangwei."
"Who is Wang Mian?"
"The winner of this year's talk show competition is a man who combines music and comedy. His talk show is really exciting."
"Teacher Da Zhangwei is also a very funny person. One plus one is definitely greater than two!"
"It seems that this year's Spring Festival Gala is still very interesting."
"The Spring Festival Gala is still too far away. By the way, are there any good movies to watch during the National Day holiday this year?"
""My Hometown Father and Me", "Eight Hundred", "Four Seas", "Crazy Racing""
"The first one, from the name, sounds like a hodgepodge of several directors filming one part each and then editing it together."
"It's true. I tasted the sweetness last year, and I'll do it again this year."
"You can tell by the name that it doesn't look good."
"Luo Bao's movie feels pretty good and worth looking forward to."
"Didn't I say that "Avatar 2" is coming? Can it be released on the National Day schedule?"
"What? I'm going to compete with "Shanghai Fortress" on New Year's Day."
"Hahahaha, this is indeed very interesting. I think it is very exciting just by reading the movie reviews."
"The pressure is on "Fortress of Shang Hai". If Lu Han's film continues to fail, no crew will come to him in the future."
………………
Obviously, the crotch-stretching Mid-Autumn Festival Gala did not affect everyone's mood.
Because the National Day is approaching, in addition to celebrating the motherland’s birthday, most people can have a seven-day holiday.
This is really precious for modern social animals who are under increasing pressure.
This seven-day holiday is very good whether you use it to relax at home and spend time with your family, or go out to travel and watch movies with your girlfriend.
Because there is plenty of time during the holidays, the National Day period is the peak box office season after the Spring Festival period, and competition is often particularly fierce.
Like this year, "My Hometown Father and Me", "Eight Hundred", and "Four Seas" are all big-budget productions with no shortage of fresh meat, veteran actors, movie stars, and great directors.
In comparison, "Crazy Racing" seems too shabby.
Director and actor Luo Quan is the biggest star in this crew, and her salary is 100 million. There are definitely a lot of people vying to hire her.
But because it is a movie that I invested in, all costs are zero.
The second biggest star is Wen Xia, who guest-starred as the only female supporting actress, but because she didn't have many roles, and for well-known reasons, her pay was not high.
The rest are a bunch of supporting characters from all over the world.
These supporting actors have their own unique looks and have acted in many works. Their acting skills are excellent and the prices are low. Even if their wages are increased after receiving the blessing of actor ratings, each person's salary is only about two million.
As for the rest, they are basically all small. There are no big scenes in this movie, and the special effects shots only last for a few seconds. The production cost is very, very low.
After the film was submitted for review, Luo Quan also posted the production cost of the film on the news, which was only over 18 million, which was lower than the cost of Luo Quan's previous "Resident Evil".
When they saw this news headline, netizens didn't believe it and thought Luo Quan was talking nonsense.
In the past five years, how many Chinese-language films have cost less than 20 million?
With such a small amount of money, if you spend it to buy a little fresh meat, you will probably only be able to buy one leg!
However, after clicking into the news and seeing the details of the crew's accounts listed by Luo Quan, netizens finally understood that it really doesn't cost much to make a movie.
Although everyone knows that this is a small production, no matter how small the production is, it will not be shoddy because it is produced by Luo Quan.
The quality is definitely guaranteed, and the cost is still so low, which makes netizens have to ask a question:
For those big productions that often cost hundreds of millions, where does the money go?
The answer to the question was actually said by Luo Quan during the live broadcast before, but maybe because of too many mistakes, all the live videos of that day were deleted and cannot be found online now, so most netizens don’t know about Luo Quan that day. What exactly was said.
After the live broadcast video was deleted, Luo Quan didn't bother to make up for it. Anyway, it had nothing to do with her whether the film market was bad or not.
She just needs to ensure that the movies she makes are good enough, and China's population base is so large that it can feed her well.
As for my colleagues, I can only wish them good luck.
"Crazy Racing" passed the review as smoothly as ever, and it was awarded the dragon mark without any effort.
Although she did not make any achievements in the Huaguoshan secret adventure this time, her strong gold medal win in the Tokyo Olympics still earned her a lot of impression points.
It's a pity that the Winter Olympics did not add another ice fighting event, otherwise she could have won another gold medal.
As far as she knows, the only sport in the Winter Olympics that can be fought on ice is ice hockey. If there is any conflict between the two teams, they can start fighting directly on the field. The referee will only watch from the side, and the two people waiting to fight will decide the winner. .
It can only be said that it is a pity that she is very good at fighting, but she has never touched ice hockey.
"Sister, how much box office do you think you can get this time?" Leon asked his sister curiously.
He has not seen the finished film, but he has been present during the filming process. Just by watching those shooting clips, he knows how many jokes and twists the film contains.
As a comedy, it is really a masterpiece, but whether it is the best in recent years will only be known after it is released.
After all, Happy Sweet Potato has also produced many excellent comedy works, including several masterpieces in the eyes of the audience.
Compared with previous comedies, it can be seen that the audience's tastes are changing.
Whether the taste of "Crazy Racing" can match the audience depends on the effect on the day of release.
Therefore, Luo Quan could only say in a joking tone in response to his brother's question: "I definitely hope to achieve a box office of 5 billion, but this is not the Spring Festival period, and it is probably unreachable, so I will lower my requirements and have a three-billion-dollar box office." A billion would be fine.”
"Three billion is not low." Wen Xia checked Baidu and said: "This is also a good result that can enter China's historical box office rankings."
Luo Quan waved his hand: "It's useless to predict these things now, just wait quietly for the movie to be released."
As he spoke, he turned on his phone and sent out a countdown to watch the movie.
After passing the review, she can already control when it will be released, and it will be available in theaters across the country as soon as the National Day comes.
Although it is a low-budget movie, because Luo Quan wrote, directed, and starred in it, this label is almost synonymous with box office success, so the theaters dare not slack off at all, and there will definitely be no shortage of films scheduled by then.
Netizens were ecstatic when they saw the countdown finally came out, and immediately pre-purchased movie tickets online.
It has to be said that the fans are really awesome. With the support of the god-level trailer, the pre-sale box office reached 200 million.
According to this trend, the box office of the movie may reach 1 billion before it is officially released.
Only a few domestic films can enjoy this kind of treatment.
As for the trailer, it’s not that it was shot well. It’s actually just a mix of characters. There are a lot of scenes of riding and driving, which kind of echoes the title of the movie.
But that's not the point. The point is BGM.
Careful netizens discovered that this is a new song composed by Luo Quan, called "In the Palace of the Mountain Demon King".
The melody of the song is weird and crazy, and at the same time it is extremely brainwashing. The final climax leads to glory in endless chaos. The movie characters flash like a revolving lantern, and together they interweave an absurd story.
At the end of the song, "Crazy Racing" remained on the screen.
The lingering sound lingered, and the barrage was full of awesome comments.
"You call this horse riding a low cost?"
"This song alone is worth ten million! I said so."
"Haha, Luo Quan said this song can be written in five minutes, and it's free and free of charge."
"I wrote, directed, acted, and scored my own music. No wonder the cost was not kept so low."
"It's normal. Luo Quan made all the albums by herself and didn't let others have the opportunity to make money at all. That means the conditions for making movies don't allow it, otherwise she might be able to do it all."
"As expected of Luo Quan, a movie with less than 20 million yuan can be turned into a Hollywood blockbuster."
"Is this really a comedy? It doesn't look like there are many funny scenes."
“What can you tell from a two-minute video?”
"It's all about looking forward to it. I've already bought the movie. If you can't buy it for fifty yuan, you won't be deceived."
"I saw Luo Bao's tight-fitting racing suit in the trailer, and his figure is still as good as ever. I won't say more, I will support you by pre-ordering."
"lsp."
"To clarify, I am not old!"
………………
The trailer successfully completed its mission and fulfilled the expectations of netizens.
Many directors in the industry are also eyeing this movie. They want to see why Luo Quan spent 20 million to make a movie that everyone applauds.
With such a small investment, other crews would only get a rating of shoddy.
But Luo Quan has always been known for being good at creating miracles, so can she create a miracle this time?
No one knows, but Luo Quan's fans feel that she will not let everyone down.
…………
October 1st is the first day of the National Day holiday.
The long-awaited holiday has finally arrived, and office workers may still be sleeping in and trying to recover from their tortured bodies.
The student party members were even more energetic and were already running around the streets calling for friends at around nine o'clock.
Of course, only for students in high school and below.
College students in this era have become somewhat prematurely aged, and are usually asleep at this point.
However, even though it is the National Day holiday, many people still choose to go to work for the high overtime pay.
If everyone is on vacation, how can those who enjoy the vacation come out to play?
This is an irresolvable contradiction.
In the cinema, there was an endless stream of guests coming to watch the movie.
It is said that the Chinese film market is a false prosperity, but looking at the appearance in front of you, there is no fake appearance at all. This is all real customer traffic. I don’t know how many tickets have been sold since Cong opened the store.
For now, it’s unclear which movie is the biggest hit.
Some people have watched the major blockbusters featured in the National Day schedule. "The Eight Hundred" has enough stars and good publicity, so slightly more people came to watch it.
But "Crazy Racing" and "4 Seas" are not far behind, each has its own advantages.
And as the first batch of audiences poured into the theater, the true appearance of these movies was finally revealed to everyone.
In order to control costs, Luo Quan did not even hold a premiere, and many people in the film media have only now seen the finished film.
Zhao Yang is one of them. He even thought about asking questions, but Luo Quan didn't hold a premiere, which was simply too crude.
But after he sat down in the cinema, all his thoughts were focused on the big screen in front of him.
The dragon logo and exclusive BGM appear at the beginning of the film, followed by the list of investors and main creators of the film.
Crazy Racing is different. There is only one production company, Quanshui Entertainment, and Luo Quan accounts for half of the main creative list. It seems that she thought she made this movie alone.
However, because there are so few units that need to be acknowledged, the title of the movie is much shorter than other movies, which is a very comfortable point.
Soon, our protagonist Geng Jiao kicked off the scene.
