Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 487
Although Luo Quan is usually lazy, the efficiency of full production is so fast that many senior industry insiders are dumbfounded.

Soon, "Rurouni Kenshin" was fully produced and submitted for review.

During the period of waiting for the review, Luo Quan asked Sony to contact theaters all over Japan to prepare for the filming, and at the same time released a promotional video of 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 short film. It is just a BGM that explodes. A glimpse of it can make people feel the tension and excitement coming to their faces!
The fighting action in this movie is much more exaggerated than the samurai action movies that people have seen in the past. Coupled with this exciting BGM, even if it is just a trailer, it will make people feel that this is a visual feast.

The preview alone is so good, what does the full movie look like?
Now not only fans, even countless passers-by are interested in "Rurouni Kenshin".

As the third largest film market in the world, the enthusiasm of the Japanese people to watch movies is not inferior to that of China.

It's just that most of the box office successes over the years have been anime or live-action comics, but this time Luo Quan didn't rely on any IP and relied entirely on the quality of his own works.

Luo Quan said that there will be innovations in this action movie, so both the industry and the outside world are now staring at this movie that has shown its extraordinary features to see where its innovations lie.

If the film does succeed, it will be a huge inspiration for the action movie industry as a whole.

Although it is still too early to imagine these things, but after watching the trailer released by Luo Quan, basically no one doubts the quality of the movie anymore.

Among other things, the picture quality and soundtrack alone are already at the top level.

The former is a proof of spending a lot of money. For commercial films, not spending a lot of money may not necessarily make a good movie, and low cost can sometimes create box office miracles.

But if a lot of money is spent, then the visual effects will definitely not pull the hips, even if the plot is not good, it will not prevent the audience from enjoying it.

As long as the audience enjoys watching it and is willing to pay for it, it is considered a success for commercial films.

Commercial films, as the name suggests, are all commercial-oriented. It doesn't matter whether they have depth or not, whether they win awards or not, money is the criterion for judging them.

Of course, this standard does not apply to Huaxia, because the so-called big domestic productions can't see where the money is spent. Most movies that claim to have hundreds of millions of dollars in investment are sometimes inferior to big online movies. It doesn't look like a commercial blockbuster, but it seems to be laundered in the name of making a blockbuster.

Xiao Xianrou must be blamed, but the problem is definitely not entirely on these stars.

In fact, there are small fresh meats in Japan, but unlike the domestic entertainment industry, Japanese stars generally charge relatively low fees. Even if they are top-notch, they can only make a movie with about 2000 million yuan. Female stars are a little more expensive, and they will not exceed [-] million yuan. , and even the acting skills of Xiao Xianrou are absolutely guaranteed.

Because in Japan, if there is no business ability, there is no way to survive. Unlike these idols in China, they can attract countless fans by dressing up a bit.

The actors Luo Quan invited this time are basically acting school, not seeking much fame, except for the actor Saitoichi and her and Junko, the others are probably not even second-tier.

In other words, the total salary of these leading actors is less than one-tenth of the salary of Huaxia Xiaoxianrou.

However, with such a low salary for the actors, the investment in the film still reached more than 8000 million RMB, which shows how excellent the production of director Luo Quan is.

Among other things, Luo Quan rented the best cameras for the film from Hollywood, and the rate was calculated by the day, and since it was an action movie, she also rented quite a few cameras.

She took photos and posted them on Twitter. Those in the industry in Japan saw it and felt pain for her.

These top-level equipment in the Hollywood film industry, even the big directors in Japan, don't just use it as they say, and don't even think about it without attracting a few big companies to invest together.

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

It can only be said that being rich and powerful is awesome. No wonder Luo Quan claimed that every screen shot of his movie could be used as wallpaper after the movie was finished. Isn't the screen of a cutting-edge movie camera called wallpaper?

In comparison, the wonderful soundtrack played in the movie is relatively ordinary.

Music is Luoquan's old profession, and there will be absolutely no trouble here if there is a problem with the soundtrack.

On the whole, "Rurouni Kenshin" already has all the elements for success.

There is no shortage of quality, topicality, and subject matter.

To say that the subject matter is not good is because the age was not chosen well, but kendo and samurai have always been the favorites of Japanese young people, let alone blood and fighting.

However, just when everyone was extremely optimistic about "Rurouni Kenshin", Luo Quan announced the premiere time of the film. If there is no accident, the release time will be June 6.

Good guy, it's just two days away from "Titanic", and the schedule completely coincides.

In addition to commendable courage, people in the industry do not know how to describe such a choice.

Courage is commendable, that's a polite way of saying it, and Tou Tie probably fits better.

What is "Titanic"?That was the masterpiece that made Ford, the director of "The Lord of the Rings", choose to avoid his edge.

Although I haven't seen the movie yet, Director Carnathan has never been so confident about Oscar.

His previous award-winning works, even if they have been shortlisted for nominations, were quite nervous before the actual announcement of the winners.

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

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

Moreover, as the third largest film market in the world, DSIC's promotion efforts in Japan are no weaker than China's.

Luoquan is a hot search on Twitter every day, and "Titanic" is also directly on the billboards of the subway, the big screens of the buildings, and even the TV sets of the people. It can be said to be everywhere.

With such a big gimmick and such a big publicity, one can imagine how many people will flock to the cinema to watch the big ship.

After knowing the exact release date of Ofuna, most of the movies in Japan that decided to release at the end of June chose to postpone, and specially made room for Ofuna to toss by himself.

Luckily, Luo Quan faced the difficulties directly, but he didn't believe in this evil.

But having said that, with so many movies postponed, the only movies released in the same period that are called masterpieces are "Titanic" and "Rurouni Kenshin".

There will definitely be competition, but it seems that the competition will not be more intense than six or seven movies released at the same time.

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

In fact, she herself is not as smart as people think. She chose to release together with Da Chuan simply because she was in a hurry. After one movie is finished, she still has at least two more movies. Know that there are breaks.

Anyway, Ofuna and "Rurouni Kenshin" are not the same type of movie. If they hit each other, they will hit each other. The Japanese movie market is so big that it is impossible for a big ship to eat all of it.

Besides, she is still quite confident in her movie, and the car rollover should only be a small probability event.

But judging from her usual good luck, there is not much difference between a small probability event and zero.

In short, the film was submitted for review, the theaters began to arrange the film, and the publicity and distribution were 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 of netizens after the trailer was released, it has already received rave reviews, and everything is ready for the next step.

The review went quite smoothly, because Japan doesn't have a very strict grasp of the film's standards, especially the bloody scenes. Whether it's bloodshed or a severed hand, it's not a big deal to show it directly.

So there wasn't much that needed to be cut from the film 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.

The good reputation is no longer here, and it has helped the government a lot, and making movies has stimulated the economy, and it is impossible to make things difficult for her.

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

In the following time, Luoquan did not operate on Twitter anymore, but simply posted a number every day, that is, the number a few days before the release, minus one every day.

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

These TV stations include NTV, TBS, Asahi, Fuji TV, and other TV stations with the highest ratings. Sony took the initiative to make connections and selected the prime time at night.

After a TV episode is over, there should be an advertisement for a period of time, and this time period should also be the most expensive time period of the day, billed by the second, and in the true sense, there are millions of minutes per minute.

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

Originally, Sony 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 costs in the early morning and afternoon hours.

When Sony asked the reason, the explanation from the TV station was simply ridiculous:
"In Japan, Luo Quan is the ratings. Even if it is an advertisement, as long as she is willing to show her face, there will definitely be many people willing to watch it!"

This kind of thinking may sound outrageous at first glance, 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, she has been on TV very few times. She only appeared on Music station once when she first debuted. After that, "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.

And the major TV stations are basically broadcasting in turn at different times, so that after people watch Luoquan sing on TV Asahi, they will immediately jump to TV Tokyo to watch it again.

This kind of strange scene in the TV station industry is so unheard of that some experts say that the phenomenon of watching Luoquan belongs to one of the phenomena of Luoquan in Japan.

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

After the negotiation, 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 the role he played in the movie, and then invite the audience to watch the movie.

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

The content is basically the same, except that there are some changes in the name of the TV station.

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

Originally, the advertising time was the time when everyone switched channels and the ratings dropped, but when the viewers were about to pick up the remote control to switch channels after watching the TV, Luo Quan's beautiful face suddenly appeared on the TV.

Like her character in the movie, she was wearing a corporate haori for the promotional video:

"Hi Mina-sang, do you still remember me, I'm Luo Quan..."

"Aww..." I don't know how many boys who were watching TV dramas cried out excitedly, and unexpectedly saw their wives all of a sudden. This is right, I will remember you even if you turn into ashes!
"The action movie "Rurouni Kenshin", which I wrote, directed and acted in, will be released soon. This time I will play the protagonist Kenshin in the movie, and show you the end of the curtain..."

There was a brief introduction to the movie, and Luo Quan narrated it vividly, but the boys Mingxin didn't pay much attention to it, because their attention was all on Luo Quan people.

This Luo Quan in the samurai costume is too beautiful, she is exactly the image of a beauty in ancient costume in my fantasy, and comics can't draw such a good-looking heroine!
"On June 26, I hope everyone can go to the cinema to watch "Rurouni Kenshin". I believe it will not disappoint everyone."

Having said that, Luo Quan also followed the usual practice and bowed to express his gratitude.

It is not an exaggeration to do such a gift for the parents of food and clothing.

In the past, the audience would feel that the advertising time was too long, and they wished they could watch the next episode of the TV series as soon as possible.

But now, I felt that the time was too short, and it was gone in just a few minutes.

But it doesn't matter, this promotional video will be broadcast for five consecutive days, and not only during the prime time at night, but also every morning, noon, and afternoon.

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

And the performance of the ad did not disappoint the expectations of the TV station's leaders. Every time the ad was broadcast, the ratings kept rising. This is simply the code of wealth!

"Unfortunately, this advertisement cannot be released after the 26th." A group of leaders felt very regretful while being happy.
