"Fist really hired a super star this time. It really has a good reputation."
"Trivia, Luo Quan also promoted League of Legends before and cosplayed new heroes, but she had just debuted at that time and her fame was not as famous as it is now."
"When you said that, I was immediately impressed."
"It turns out that the two sides have a long history."
"It's good. Now that we are working together, we can make each other more popular."
"What surprised me most today was that Luo Bao's skills were so high. He beat Emperor Rang so hard that he couldn't even fight back."
"I'm just kidding. I don't even know what Luo Bao's nickname is. Doesn't the world's strongest woman deserve her reputation?"
"I hope her good luck will come true this time. As long as lpl can win the championship, I will directly give her a governor!"
"Holy shit, rich brother v me 50!"
………………
The impact of this anniversary performance did not dissipate with the end of the anniversary. Instead, it became a hot event in the entire gaming circle. It was discussed for several days before gradually cooling down.
After the anniversary performance, she did not continue to stay in the room to live broadcast League of Legends for players, but rushed to Hengdian non-stop to start filming "Feng Shen 2: Lich Tribulation".
Because they already had experience filming the first part, and Luo Quan gave the actors more than a month to memorize lines and figure out the characters’ ideas, plus some materials that were not used in the first part, it is expected to consume more It should take much less time than the first part.
After restarting, Luo Quan returned to his workaholic state. He didn't do live broadcasts or bother with other things, and just focused on the set.
Of course, being a workaholic does not mean that you are completely deaf to what is happening outside the window.
She has been paying attention to these news at home and abroad.
After more than a month of release, "Barbie" finally ran out of stamina, and the total global box office was basically hard to break through seventeen dollars.
And its competition with "Prehistoric" has completely come to an end, because the global box office of "Prehistoric" has reached 1.8 billion US dollars, which is nearly 11.7 billion yuan.
This has far exceeded Luo Quan's initial expectations for it. If nothing unexpected happens, "The First World" will be the global box office champion this year, and there should be no problem.
At least judging from the National Day film schedule, the last major period of this year, none of them can see its taillights.
As for foreign countries, it is almost impossible to win "Barbie", let alone surpass "Prehistoric".
Unless a little-known director can suddenly produce a work as good as "Titanic" or "Lord of the Rings", it will be possible.
Why do I say this? Because those movies with huge investments will start promoting them very early, so unless they are shot in complete secrecy, the news of a masterpiece like this must have been spread by the media one or two years before its release.
At present, there is no news about this kind of epic masterpiece, so we can only hope that it will be filmed secretly.
Of course, this is only theoretically possible. In fact, everyone knows that such a situation will never happen, so Luo Quan is determined to be the box office champion this year.
What needs to be discussed now is whether "Prehistoric" is eligible to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
First of all, Best Visual Effects is almost gone, and Luo Quan doesn’t even need to spend money to run the Oscars. If this award cannot be given to "Prehistoric", it means that none of the judges for this award are professional.
"Prehistoric" has been released in North America for some time. Its special effects do not need to be praised by China. Many American moviegoers exclaimed: This is definitely the best special effects in history. It beats this year. of these Hollywood masterpieces.
Moreover, various grand scenes emerge one after another, and there are countless imaginative designs, completely constructing a fantasy, magnificent, and at the same time extremely reasonable prehistoric family.
Just like Avatar back then, this was a work that was enough to start a revolution in special effects movies.
If this level of technology can't get the best visual effects, then I really don't know what kind of work can get it.
In short, Luo Quan got some information through Seifert. If no movie with better special effects is released before the Oscars next February, then the Best Visual Effects Award should be this one.
Although the second part of "Prehistoric" is not very far away, its release is expected to be during the Spring Festival, right before and after the Oscars, so I will definitely not be able to make it in time.
But if there are no challengers except for prehistoric times, then not only next year's Oscar, but all subsequent Oscars will be hers.
Of course, the Oscar here specifically refers to the best visual effects, and it is almost impossible to win the best movie.
What Luo Quan hopes most at the moment is to work hard towards the best foreign language film.
There is no precedent for a Chinese film to win an Oscar. Many years ago, there was a film called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" which won many Oscars including Best Foreign Language Film.
Although the film underperformed at the domestic box office, it did well in North America, grossing over $100 million.
At that time, many Americans didn't know much about China. They might have learned about Kung Fu from Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, but they didn't know what Kung Fu looked like after it became an art form.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has done a good job in promoting this aspect, and at the same time it also showed foreigners what the classical beauty of China is.
In terms of nature, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is very similar to "The Last Emperor".
It's just that the former was made by Chinese people and was released later in North America than in the mainland, so it only won the best foreign language award among the heavyweight awards.
The good news is that with this precedent, "Prehistoric" has the possibility to win awards again.
Now that the Internet is so developed, foreigners' understanding of China is no longer so narrow and ignorant.
They know that in the far east, there is a country that is safe even in the middle of the night, where various infrastructure facilities are very complete, there are delicious food everywhere, and it has an extremely rich history and culture.
After knowing so much, it is almost impossible to impress the judges with a work like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
The good news is that the theme of "Prehistoric" is older than martial arts.
It was an era of ignorance long before dynasties were formed. At that time, China was still a tribe. Faced with countless incomprehensible natural phenomena, people used their taste and imagination to weave one myth after another and create one after another. of gods.
These are the earliest spiritual totems of the Chinese people, and they are also the manifestation of the cultural spiritual foundation of the Chinese people.
Man can conquer heaven!
This is the most precious spiritual wealth passed down from ancient ancestors to future generations. It is precisely because our ancestors were fearless even in the depths that we have descendants' "Princes, generals, ministers, would rather have their kind", and that descendants' " Dare to ask the sun and moon to change the sky."
This kind of the greatest thought of the world is actually very unbelievable in foreign countries.
After all, in foreign religions, everything that people have is given by God, and people should be grateful to God. If they dare to be disrespectful, it will be a great flood that will destroy the world.
But God is merciful. He will make a man-made ark to give the tribe a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, human beings are grateful to God for his mercy, but not to Noah who built the ark.
As a result, foreigners simply cannot imagine why China seems to have no faith.
In fact, it is not that China has no faith, but this kind of faith is reflected in all aspects of life, but it is not reflected in devout prayers when facing difficulties.
Countless cases tell people that praying to God is useless. After all, they can only rely on themselves.
This kind of people-oriented spiritual core is still quite popular in the United States today.
That's why "Prehistoric" can gain so much support online, and passersby will praise the spirit it expresses after watching the movie.
At least judging from the current film reviews, both passers-by and professional film critics think "Prehistoric" is very good, and it also has a unique Eastern philosophy and is very deep.
Apart from the fact that there are no black actors, there are basically no major flaws.
However, because this is originally a Chinese movie, and China does not produce black people, of course political correctness cannot be applied to "Prehistoric".
In short, the current online reviews are very positive for "Prehistoric".
Such a successful commercial film, a foreign film with such connotation, and a high-quality film with all the acting skills of the entire cast, has fully met the criteria for award evaluation.
As long as The Ancient World was not about Chinese myths, but Indian or English myths, Luo Quan felt that he even dared to take a chance on the Oscar for Best Picture.
Of course, if these two myths were true, the box office would probably not be as explosive as it is now.
Anyway, according to Seifert, if a movie can achieve unprecedented success at the box office, it will still get some fame points during the awards.
Therefore, he and the Universal Company behind him are very optimistic about the movie "Prehistoric" and will fully mobilize the media to create public opinion.
At the same time, he also hopes that when the second part of The Wilderness is released, it will be released simultaneously abroad.
If piracy spreads after too long, it will always affect the box office.
In business, Seifert certainly hopes to earn more, and Luo Quan can earn more accordingly.
For the two of them, this is a win-win good thing, and for foreign fans of the prehistoric era, it is not necessarily a bad thing.
After all, there is a big difference between watching it in a cinema and watching it at home.
That kind of visual effect cannot be compared to the flat surface of a mobile phone or computer screen.
Some people say that home theaters can also provide a good experience, but since everyone can afford home theaters, will they spend enough money to watch the original version?
Even if you don’t want to crowd with too many people, you will choose to book the venue directly.
Instead of searching on Google for pirated websites that allow you to watch movies directly without registration, while enduring dim images, inaccurate colors and loud sound effects.
Therefore, there is almost no harm to the box office of the movie from simultaneous release.
As for the review, with Universal's help, it wouldn't be too difficult for Luo Quan.
It's a bit too far-fetched. Putting aside the second part of The Wilderness, if the first part of The Wilderness can win a grand prize, Universal can completely shape it into an Eastern Lord of the Rings.
The first two films have laid the foundation, and the last one is a super masterpiece, maybe it can directly sweep the Oscars like The Return of the King.
This is the picture Luo Quan painted for Sèvre, and she saw the immortal status of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in film history.
What Seifert saw was the huge commercial success of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Although the focus is different, the ultimate goal is the same. They all want "Prehistoric" to be popular, and the more popular the better.
Drawing pie is Luo Quan's usual skill, but the pie she painted has basically come true.
Having worked together so many times, Seifert would support her unconditionally even if he did not miss the friendship between them.
So after getting an accurate answer from Luo Quan, Seifert immediately discussed it with his father. He was going to use the best media resources in the world to build momentum for Honghuang.
Shape it into the Eastern Lord of the Rings, or even take off the label of Lord of the Rings to become a unique prehistoric myth.
The goal shaping plan is roughly divided into three steps.
In the first step, "The Creation of the Wild" won the best foreign language film.
In the second step, "The Lich" won the Oscar for Best Picture.
In the third step, "The Legend of the Ancients" swept the Oscars.
If it can really be realized, then Luo Quan will basically become a god.
Of course, achieving such an achievement is never the result of one person. It requires the efforts of many parties and the hard work of countless people.
And this plan is very difficult from the first step.
At least in the era of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the ideological competition in the United States was not so fierce. In order to open up the Chinese film market, the United States was actually very willing to give out some awards.
The overall environment is actually much more relaxed than it is now.
Now, not to mention the deepening problem of discrimination, some politicians will also make a fuss about the ownership of awards.
To put it mildly, how could such an influential award as the Oscar be awarded to a Chinese film?
To put it bluntly, it’s okay to release movies, after all, they can make money.
If you want to win awards, you will be at a disadvantage in the ideological struggle.
The award-winning films Luo Quan made before did not have many Chinese elements, so those politicians would not interfere with them.
But if the target is changed to "Prehistoric", the result will be hard to say.
So Luo Quan is still facing the difficult situation of starting from scratch.
Universal's public opinion alone may not be able to impress all the judges.
Fortunately, she didn't just know Seifert as a friend in the United States.
If a few other friends can reminisce about their old friendship, then the future of "Prehistoric" is still quite bright, and the probability of realizing the three-step plan can also be greatly improved.
