Chapter 787 Chapter 789 The Tone of the Rich Woman
Zhou Yangwen's call came slower than Luo Quan expected. He only called the next morning. He didn't know if it took a long time to make the decision internally.
"Mr. Zhou, good morning." Luo Quan had just finished washing and was about to have breakfast.
"You got up quite early too. Have you had breakfast?"
Luo Quan took a bite of the fried dough sticks and said, "I'm eating right now. If you have anything to say, Mr. Zhou, just say it. We're all so familiar with each other, so don't be polite."
Zhou Yangwen chuckled and said, "It's better for you to be happy, Luo Quan. In fact, you should have guessed that I called you about your studio's new game."
"Overwatch."
Zhou Yangwen nodded: "Yes, just like the last World of Warcraft, the game department is very optimistic about this game, so they want to find you a domestic agent to buy this game.
Although they are all old friends, the price is certainly not cheap. "
Luo Quan smiled softly: "There is no problem with having a skin agent, but I have a question, that is, will the skin agent be operated with the same care as World of Warcraft?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, and then he tentatively asked, "Luo Quan, did you hear any bad rumors from somewhere?"
"No, I'm just afraid that you will treat Overwatch the same as you treat other competing League of Legends products.
After all, there are so many lessons learned from wegame, and many games are forced to cease operations every year. "
Luo Quan's words made Zhou Yangwen reveal a helpless smile: "We wouldn't say you are a genius. Indeed, during the seminar last night, someone proposed the strategy of buying Overwatch's agency rights and then hiding it.
And there is still no unified opinion until now.
But I can also promise you that the majority of people want to run Overwatch well. After all, the gameplay of this game is indeed quite novel and can completely fill some market gaps that League of Legends cannot reach. "
"How much is this majority?" Luo Quan was not fooled by Zhou Yangwen's flattery, and his question went straight to the point.
"More than 60%." Zhou Yangwen's tone was obviously a little weak.
"It's too little. I won't let you run Overwatch without 90%. Let me tell you, the head of the game department, that there is no shortage of agents for my games.
Overwatch will definitely become popular. Compared with the traffic of League of Legends or the income from operating this game, you have to understand it in your mind.
Let's do this. Come to me after you have unified your opinions internally. The game is under development now, and there is no rush to find an agent. Penguin has enough time to investigate and consider. "
"That's okay." Zhou Yangwen is just the economics of the entertainment branch and is not responsible for the game. The reason why he is asked to negotiate is mainly because he has a good relationship with Luo Quan.
However, Penguin thought that she could get the agency right so easily, so she was a little too naive.
Of course, Penguin may not necessarily hide Overwatch, but may also operate it well.
But Luo Quan didn't want to gamble. After all, Overwatch was ready. It was a hen that could continuously lay golden eggs, and it couldn't be wasted at will no matter what.
This was the only conversation in which Luo Quan and Zhou Yangwen did not reach an agreement, and Luo Quan hoped that this would be the last time.
"Did she really say that?"
Zhao Kang, the manager of Penguin Game Branch, confirmed to Zhou Yangwen.
Although the two of them are on the same level, Penguin’s gaming revenue is one of its pillars, accounting for 30% of the total revenue!
Therefore, Zhao Kang's tone of voice seemed to be a bit bossy.
However, only a little bit.
"Do you think Luo Quan is worth what he is today because of his face? Don't fool her into thinking she is a little girl. She is easy to get along with. She will treat you the same way you treat her."
Zhou Yangwen's tone was very cold, probably because he was quite resentful of the game department and did not regard them as colleagues at all.
It is indeed true that competition within Penguin is very fierce.
As large as branches, and as small as employees in various departments, they are all involved.
It is said that he belongs to a company, but if there is an opportunity to stab the opponent, Zhou Yangwen will really consider the feasibility.
But it will definitely not work this time, because Luo Quan is involved, which is one of the money-spinners of the entertainment branch. In any case, Zhou Yangwen will not compete with other departments by turning against Luo Quan.
So when conveying Luo Quan's opinions, Zhou Yangwen also gave Zhao Kang a few words of advice.
As for Zhao Kang, if faced with ordinary game manufacturers, they probably wouldn’t take him seriously at all.
Either the agency rights are bought obediently, or there is an overwhelming amount of trolls and trolls. These are all tried and tested methods.
But it's different if the target is Luo Quan.
This aunt has a note above, and she must not offend her if she can.
Not only is she currently popular, but major officials also take good care of her. If she messes with her, there will be problems.
After thinking again and again, Zhao Kang made a decision: "Please tell Luo Quan that we will use the best team to operate Overwatch. If the game becomes a big hit, the competition will start accordingly.
In this regard, she should be very aware of Penguin's strength. If she is still not convinced, we can add these to the contract terms. "
It is said that 60% of the people agree, but in fact most of the decision-making power lies in Zhao Kang's hands.
He was hesitant before, wondering whether he should cultivate an opponent for the League of Legends.
However, he never thought about hiding Overwatch. After all, he was quite optimistic about the potential of this game.
He just wanted to get the agency rights first, and then move on to the next stage of consideration. He mainly wanted to see how the internal beta of the game performed.
However, Luo Quan's strong performance was beyond Zhao Kang's expectation.
The two games worked very smoothly together before, but this time there were some conflicts.
Fortunately, both sides showed great restraint and did not let the conflict intensify.
Zhao Kang chose to take a gamble on Luo Quan, betting that Overwatch would be as popular as she said.
If the bet fails, this year's performance will definitely not be as good as last year's.
But like Zhou Yangwen, he also felt that the miracle of Luo Quan's life, coupled with his past record, was worth the risk.
So things were arranged. Luo Quan has also found a team of lawyers to discuss the contract.
If the negotiation is successful, Luo Quanli will take a big step forward in completing his mission.
In a place where no one knows, Overwatch, which is hotly discussed on the Internet, will soon be represented by Penguin.
But when this result comes out, there probably won't be many people who are surprised, because everyone knows that Luo Quan and Penguin often cooperate.
The previous two games were also handled by Penguin, so it is not surprising that the third one is also handled by Penguin.
In addition to Overwatch, Luo Quan has also had other related news on hot searches recently.
"Joker" is the one that gets the most attention.
Ten days after its release, clips from the film finally appeared on domestic platforms.
Compared with the complete content, it is very streamlined, only those famous scenes that are more explosive.
For example, Anna laughed loudly in the subway, shot the Wayne Industries employees, walked down the stairs in the sun, and shot Murray in the studio. These are all wonderful scenes that can be remembered after watching it once.
In addition, many of Anna's one-man shows in the room are actually quite charming.
For example, her naked back is facing away from the camera when she is sorting things out.
Luo Quan said that this movie will have large-scale shots, and it is really large-scale.
Viewed from the back, Luo Quan has no bra straps on his back, and it is unclear whether there is a bra strap on the front.
But the audience didn't feel sexy because of this.
Because Luo Quan's back is so skinny, the twisted spine seems to be pierced through the skin, reflecting Anna's embarrassment in life, as well as her inner struggle and distortion.
Few people can use a static body to interpret the character's heart, but Luo Quan can do this.
In addition, her performance in front of the mirror shocked netizens.
At that time, she only wore half of her clown makeup, and the other half was still bare makeup.
In the mirror, she painted a clown's face and sneered, which was intimidating.
The face without makeup seems to be crying, which makes people feel distressed.
These require the most extreme eyesight and extreme facial muscle control to achieve. Even the top veteran actors cannot find many who can achieve such effects.
It was this half-crying, half-laughing face that made Luo Quan top the list of hot searches.
"The clown with explosive acting skills!"
Netizens in the comment area fell to their knees after watching the video:
"Oh my god, is this the Oscar-winning actress? How did she achieve this half-crying, half-laughing expression?"
"Isn't this really a special effect? How can someone make two expressions at the same time?"
"I tried it just now and my mouth almost became crooked."
"Haha, me too. This is probably only possible with facial paralysis after a stroke."
"This is called acting, relying on human power to achieve special effects!"
………………
Not only Weibo, Zhihu is also discussing it enthusiastically.
"How do you evaluate Luo Quan's half-crying, half-laughing acting skills?"
The highlighted answer is this:
“First of all, the conclusion is shocking!
Luo Quan used his superb facial control to perfectly interpret Anna's inner two selves.
I guess Anna in the film suffers from schizophrenia, and the whole plot is how the evil Anna replaces the good Anna step by step, and eventually becomes a clown.
Anna, who looked in the mirror, had discovered the evil self in her heart, and was also discovered by the other party.
That's why he showed such an expression.
I think this is the best and most shocking moment in the entire movie that depicts the character’s inner thoughts, and it’s a moment that can definitely go down in film history! "
The second highlighted answer:
"It's hard to imagine that Luo Quan's acting skills can continue to improve after Dr. Hannie.
In The Silence of the Lambs, Luo Quan's acting skills are enough to crush all the actresses of the Mesozoic generation, and they are not even on the same level as those young actresses.
Her micro-expressions and familiar lines make people shudder even when they look at her beautiful face.
In "Joker", she has much fewer lines, and many of her words are expressed entirely through camera language, body movements, expressions and even eyes.
This tests an actor's acting skills more than speaking lines, and Luo Quan lived up to expectations and explained to the world why he was able to win the Oscar for Best Actress at such a young age!
If nothing else happens, next year's Oscar winner will also be her. I can't think of any movie this year where a female character is more shocking than Anna in "Joker".
If there is, it must be Luo Quan's new work.
However, considering her habit of taking three days off and five days off, she probably won't have any new movies this year. "
………………
In the comment area of the second answer, a group of netizens burst into laughter:
"It seems like he's blowing Luo Quan, but actually he's cheating on her again."
"Luo Quan once again committed the seven deadly sins of laziness, and she will eventually be judged by justice!"
"Let's not go through the trial now. It's the end of the year, so let me rest for a while."
"That's right, it's too much to force him like this. I'd be careful that Luo Quan just gives up and quits."
………………
Luo Quan silently watched these answers and comments.
Generally, she would not participate in discussions that were not particularly outrageous.
Of course, sometimes when I feel good or have nothing to do, I will also interact with netizens.
She is naturally in a good mood these days.
Not only was the movie a hit, but Overwatch’s agents also had an agent.
Nikola Motor's stock finally experienced a surge.
Her previous advertisements helped Nikola cars with cool looks and superior performance get a lot of orders.
But because it is a new company, most people are still waiting and watching.
After the first batch of orders were delivered, reviews from car owners gradually began to ferment online.
Almost all of them are positive reviews. Car owners have endless good things to say about it and its advantages.
After several months of accumulation, the near-perfect reputation finally turned into orders that soared like a rocket.
When Nikola announced this real data, the company's stock began to skyrocket, and it has been rising for a week.
Stock experts analyze that Nikola Motors may become Tesla's second.
With the support of better technology, it is not impossible to surpass the former.
What is this concept?
It took Tesla decades to grow from a small company the size of a sesame seed to a giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
But its stock price has skyrocketed for less than ten years.
Therefore, it does not sound like a complete fantasy for Nikola to catch up from behind.
Of course, ten years is a long time, and who knows what will happen during this period.
For a company, a small detail may lead to the collapse of the entire company.
Getting rich overnight and going bankrupt overnight are sometimes things that humans simply cannot resist.
Luck is actually very important.
It sounds ethereal, but sometimes it is.
However, Nicholas felt that since the second shareholder was Luo Quan, luck was definitely on his side.
After all, she is the famous human koi, the goddess of luck walking on earth!
Having her around is like having a mascot.
And Luo Quan, after Nikola's stock price skyrocketed, officially joined the ranks of 5 billion rich women.
She is no longer very far away from becoming a billionaire.
It is expected to be achieved in the second quarter of next year.
