Chapter 489 Rave Reviews and the Arrival of the Big Ship

The premiere ceremony ended with a round of applause. Luo Quan's unique swordsmanship performance was truly amazing.

It's obviously just the premiere of a movie, but most people think it's better than an action movie.

In addition to the celebrity guests watching the ceremony, there were also a large group of fans who stayed up late to watch the premiere.

Although the 26th and 27th are not weekends, this does not affect their enthusiasm to go to theaters to watch movies as soon as possible.

As early as the premiere, they had already gathered in the cinema, either with friends or alone to watch "Rurouni Kenshin".

The end time of the premiere was already 11:40, and many cinemas had already started to clear their theaters for the first screening of "Rurouni Kenshin".

As the early morning hours arrive, major cinemas in Japan begin to play "Rurouni Kenshin" almost invariably.

As the most popular local movie in Japan, the number of films scheduled for "Rurouni Kenshin" is extremely astonishing. Before "Titanic" was released, its film number exceeded 35%. !

The attendance data for the first show of all movie theaters has also been released. Except for some relatively remote towns, the attendance rate is above 90%.

And big cities like Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya are basically full!

Not only have audiences and film critics never seen such popularity, but even managers who have been in charge of theaters for many years have never seen it.

It can only be said that Luo Quan's number of fans is really terrifying. No matter how good the movie's theme or trailer is, 99% of the first batch of viewers after the premiere came for her.

This is the embodiment of a star's box office appeal. Even when the movie does not yet know how well it will be shot, so many fans are willing to go into the theater to support their idol unconditionally.

Of course, this is also related to Luo Quan's first movie shooting in Japan. This is an action movie. If the subject is changed, maybe more people will be interested.

The movie is 100 minutes long, and the first wave of reviews should wait until 2 o'clock.

After Luo Quan returned to the hotel after the premiere, he did not stay up too long and went to bed early. When he woke up, it would be a moment of praise...

"You are beautiful~~

You are beautiful~~”

The ringtone of Luo Quan's cell phone rang. It was the song she sang. It also described herself. She was very narcissistic.

Luo Quan, who didn't wake up naturally, had a thin frown between his brows. He was obviously dissatisfied with his dream being disturbed.

"Seven o'clock, it's not very early..." Luo Quan muttered after seeing the time clearly, and calmed down a little:

"Hey, Miki?"

"Luoquan-san, let me tell you some good news. "Rurouni Kenshin" has already earned 4.5 billion yen at the box office within seven hours of its release, and it broke Japan's first-day box office record at three o'clock in the morning!

And now the average movie rating on the Internet is above 9.0, which is a real rave review! "

Miki's voice sounded very excited. Although he had witnessed so many sales miracles created by Luo Quan, he would be so excited every time he experienced it in person.

"4.5 billion yen?!" Luo Quan also looked happy. 4.5 billion yen is almost equivalent to 300 million yuan!

In just seven hours, the filming cost has already been fully recouped. If this momentum continues, the film is expected to recoup its investment in one day!

"Yes, netizens are praising it like crazy now, saying that this is the best action movie this year. I'm calling you to tell you the good news. You can check it out on Twitter for details."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Quan also opened Twitter.

There are already more than a dozen related notifications in the message bar, all related to Rurouni Kenshin. Half of them are about the box office reached, and the other half are movie reviews published by major film and television media.

Luo Quan doesn't care about these things. What she wants to see more is the comments of the people. If the general public likes it, then it is truly good.

There are more than 200,000 tweets about "Rurouni Kenshin" on Twitter. If you click on one, you will get thousands of comments and likes:

"Great praise! This is the first time I have seen such an explosive action movie. The service is also very exquisite, and the actors' acting skills are also very good!"

"When the protagonist picks a hundred, it's so exciting that the man is running around on the ground. Can a samurai really have such powerful skills?"

"I can tell you very responsibly that such masters really do exist. Even if they are not as exaggerated as Luo Quan makes them out to be, they will not be too different."

"The final duel, I think, can be included in the historical classic scenes of Japanese movies. The two people presented an epic fight!"

"As a third-level swordsman, a large part of this fight is like a real swordsmanship competition. The long shots of the action are very coherent, without editing, and there are no obvious differences. Keep it in mind, even if it is placed in a swordsmanship competition, it will be the top showdown scene!"

"It's really that powerful, but isn't this a movie?"

"Have you not looked at the cast list carefully? The actor who plays Udo Blade Guard is Kouta Yagyu, the son of the sword master Yagyu Ensai. He is a very powerful swordsman."

"I didn't expect Luo Quan's swordsmanship to be so strong. Those thirty-six consecutive cuts made me almost stop breathing."

"This flying sword style is so awesome, especially when Kenshin swings his sword in the air and kills people, it makes me look so cool!"

"Am I the only one who thinks Saitoichi's protruding teeth are the most handsome?"

"I feel like in the movie even the swordsman's swordsmanship is not bad, and the posture of drawing the sword and putting it back is quite upright!"

"I see a lot of acquaintances from the Yagyu family."

……………………

My fingers kept sliding, and basically all of them were positive reviews. The only criticism was that the protagonist's bangs were too long, and often covered half of her face, making it difficult to see clearly.

But there is nothing we can do about it, it is a small flaw that cannot be avoided.

Other than that, there's basically nothing to nitpick.

As an action commercial movie, no one can find too many faults at the moment.

As daytime approached, explosive word-of-mouth began to quickly sweep across the Internet, and the movie's box office continued to grow rapidly, reaching a climax at 5 p.m.

It's time for office workers to get off work and student parties to get out of school.

Generally speaking, office workers will go to the izakaya with friends after get off work, and then go home drunk until eleven or twelve o'clock.

Today, after experiencing a day of bombardment with news about "Rurouni Kenshin", most people finally couldn't wait to enter the theater.

Needless to say, what I got was an audio-visual feast. Many people even played the game twice or even three times after coming out, which shows how much they love it.

In addition, the online praise rate has always been high. Even though the number of people who rated the movie has exceeded 100,000, the score still remains above 9.0, with only a slight decline.

If it were placed in a popular period in the past, competitors would see how popular "Rurouni Kenshin" is, and they would buy fake reviews anyway and give it a low score.

This is purely commercial competition and has nothing to do with the quality of the movie.

But now, except for "Titanic" which has not yet been released, there are no major movies competing with "Rurouni Kenshin" for the market. There are only two or three kittens.

The investment in these kittens is not big, so there is no spare money to hire a navy.

As a result, Luo Quan's film has become the highest-rated Japanese film since the beginning of this year without any interference from outsiders.

As a commercial film, a score of 9.0 is too high. Luo Quan feels that around 8.5 is basically the limit.

It's a bit false right now. After all, it has just been released and many problems have not been discovered yet. Although it is not a big problem, it is just a small flaw, but it will affect the score to some extent.

As time goes by, movie ratings will slowly return to normal.

But for Luo Quan, the ratings are not particularly important. What really matters is the box office.

As for this aspect, "Rurouni Kenshin" has given her and everyone who is looking forward to it a perfect answer.

It exceeded 1 billion yen in one hour and 2.5 billion yen in three hours of release, breaking the previous record of highest box office on the opening day set by "Spirited Away".

Breaking 4.5 billion yen in seven hours!

It exceeded 9 billion yen in fifteen hours, which is nearly 600 million yuan.

Calculated according to the ratio of film market costs to box office, if the box office is only the amount of the shooting cost, it is equivalent to losing all money.

And if the box office reaches three times the shooting cost, it will be considered a return on investment.

"Rurouni Kenshin" only took fifteen hours to complete.

Although after nine o'clock, the box office growth rate continued to rise and began to decline significantly, but because the starting point and the rate of increase were too high and too fast, even if it had begun to decline, the box office revenue was still frighteningly high.

As of 24:00 on the 27th, which is also midnight on the 28th, the single-day box office of "Rurouni Kenshin" reached 12.34 billion yen.

This is an unprecedented number and a landmark moment in the history of Japanese film box office.

Prior to this, the top 50 box office films in Japanese film history were either foreign language films or anime films.

Although live-action films have won numerous awards at home and abroad, and the directors are quite famous even in the three major film festivals, their box office is generally not very high.

Now, "Rurouni Kenshin" has broken this deadlock and set a very good benchmark for latecomers. After seeing the record-breaking box office performance of "Rurouni Kenshin", many major film production companies Plans to imitate it began immediately.

Although following the trend is not as well-received as the original, it is definitely not difficult to quickly seize the market and make a lot of money while the popularity is just beginning.

It can be said that now time is money and speed is wealth.

And just when everyone thought that the record set by "Rurouni Kenshin" would be unmatched in a short period of time, the big ship came.

"Rurouni Kenshin" aired for two days and earned 19.6 billion in box office, and on the night of the 28th, the world-famous premiere of "Titanic" was held at the Dolby Theater.

Luo Quan was originally invited, but because he was busy with his own movie, he didn't go to the scene this time, and the theme song was also played on a record.

At the premiere, the male and female protagonists were even more glamorous than at the last press conference. In the absence of Luo Quan, the former The Most Beautiful in the World captured the hearts of almost all the men present.

Unlike Luo Quan, who has just begun to mature, Carillian, who is already mature, is full of charm and temptation that the opposite sex cannot refuse.

As the dream lover of all American men, even if her looks are not as good as Luo Quan's, she is definitely a rare beauty. Paired with her figure with peaks and turbulence, it can be said that she is a killer in front of the camera this time. How many eyes and hearts of men are known.

Not to mention Leon, he was so handsome that many men stopped whistling and showed admiration in their eyes.

And even such a male and female protagonist is not the real protagonist of this premiere.

The real protagonist is the movie, the Titanic. This big ship carries the love and emotion that spans time, and in the director's low and magnetic voice, it slowly sails toward everyone.

Just after understanding the outline of the main plot, everyone already had a premonition of its splendor and greatness.

The film schedules of domestic theater chains in the United States have basically been dominated by "Titanic". In many first-tier cities, 70% of the screening halls have made way for the ship, and people are waiting inside and outside the theaters, waiting for its release. .

At the same time, it is still daytime in China and Japan. Although day and night are reversed and the regions are different, movie fans have the same enthusiasm for witnessing an epic movie.

In Japan, there are still a large number of fans watching "Rurouni Kenshin", but in addition to these, there is still a large number of fans who are almost equal in number waiting for the release of "Titanic".

When "Rurouni Kenshin" exploded in popularity, theaters allocated a large portion of their film schedules to it.

This is what all the investment capital put into this movie before it was released.

From actors to directors to investment companies and even movie fans, everyone has unparalleled expectations for it.

To be honest, Luo Quan is quite envious of such expectations.

Although in terms of music, she has already reached this level, as far as movies are concerned, she is still quite far away from this level.

But she can comfort herself, because there is only one Titanic, and such a scene will not be seen once in ten years.

However, judging from the current situation, ten years will definitely not be that long.

At the latest the year after next, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" will be released. It will be a movie starring her, although the role is not too much...

Like all movie fans who are looking forward to the big movie, Luo Quan also bought a movie ticket and walked into the theater wearing a mask and sunglasses, ready to watch the love between Jack and Rose.

The new era has new shooting techniques. This time the ship uses an IMAX large screen and wears 3D glasses. All special effects scenes will be more immersive than what she remembered.
