Chapter 1042: Mis-slaughter

"Are you happy now?"

Luo Quan propped her two long legs high on the computer desk, her tone very dissatisfied: "It's one thing to be led by outsiders, but why are you guys helping to fan the flames? Are you just eager to find something for me to do?"

"We just wanted to find some fun, who knew everyone had the same idea as me."

"Is it too late to regret now?"

"Luo Bao wants to film a movie, now there's no time for livestreaming."

"I regret it now, very much regret it."

"Damn, if I had known, I wouldn't have stirred up trouble."

"I don't want to watch a movie now, give me back my livestream. (Crying. jpg)"

………………

Although the fans had realized their mistake, many things aren't useful just by admitting them.

Luo Quan was forced onto the shelf and accepted this bet.

Of course, she herself was indeed a bit restless, after all, she hadn't filmed a movie for a long time. Just take this opportunity to film a few small-cost, high-return masterpieces to hype up the popularity.

"But don't worry, everyone. This movie is a small production, the workload won't be too big, so I can still occasionally find time to livestream for everyone at night."

Seeing the fans in the barrage so pitiful, Luo Quan still took the initiative to comfort them.

After the livestream ended, Luo Quan remembered that Gao Liang and Mia were on the flight early this morning, and prepared to go downstairs to see how the luggage was packed.

Actually, the young couple wanted to play in China for a while longer, but it's not suitable for pregnant women to fly after 34 weeks of pregnancy.

To avoid accidents, Gao Liang and Mia prepared to return to their country early. Mia's parents there also couldn't wait to see their daughter and their future grandson or granddaughter.

However, after going downstairs, Luo Quan found the young couple snuggling together watching an American drama. There was no suitcase in the living room, and it didn't look like they were about to leave for the airport.

Luo Quan asked suspiciously: "Aren't you two on the flight tonight?"

"Not going back for now." Gao Liang giggled and said.

"Why?" Luo Quan smiled, "Can't bear to leave your sister here?"

"That's not it." Gao Liang shook his head, "Something big happened in Ohio, they said there was some chemical leak, and now half of Ohio is polluted, the situation is very serious."

"Father-in-law said the situation is not very good now, so let us stay in China first and don't come back for the time being."

"There's such a thing?" Luo Quan was a bit surprised and quickly went on Twitter to take a look.

However, there was no news related to Ohio, but the news of the US using missiles to hit balloons was overwhelming, making people laugh and cry.

She saw this two days ago. At first, it was said that an unidentified flying object appeared over the US and was shot down by the Air Force with missiles.

Later, it was discovered that it was just a weather balloon from another country, then it was said that the possibility of an alien spacecraft could not be ruled out, and finally it was clarified that it was actually their own balloon, which was misfired.

In short, there were all kinds of explanations, like playing a game.

Luo Quan, including other netizens, treated this as fun, after all, similar hilarious events haven't happened for the first time.

As a result, hearing Gao Liang talk about the Ohio leak, she seemed to instantly clear up the truth behind this series of hilarious events.

Actually, it's not funny, but deliberately diverting people's attention.

When everyone goes to pay attention to the balloon, wouldn't the Ohio leak have no waves?

And even if a few people know now, there is no news when searching on Twitter.

It can be seen that besides diverting attention, there is no lack of blocking related information.

"So what is the specific situation in Ohio now, is the pollution serious?" Luo Quan asked her younger brother curiously.

"Not very clear, some people say it's on the same level as Chernobyl, but some people say it's not that serious."

Gao Liang shook his head: "But what is certain is that the place where the accident happened is definitely not suitable for living. Families with children and pregnant women had better not stay in Ohio and nearby for a long time."

"So serious." Hearing the words "Chernobyl," Luo Quan roughly understood what the situation was, "Then it's really worth waiting and seeing."

Luo Quan, who got the news, didn't spread it widely on the internet for the first time, but posted a dynamic as a "riddle-maker":

"Just got some explosive news about Ohio, but the specific situation is not particularly clear. In short, a train overturned and there was a chemical leak."

Soon, the gossip fans gathered:

"Just went to Twitter to take a look, there is no big news."

"That century-old railway in the US, it's normal to overturn."

"Don't know what kind of chemical it is."

"I have a premonition that this time there might really be big news."

………………

Because the matter wasn't confirmed, Luo Quan's dynamic didn't cause too much discussion.

It's nothing more than pollution caused by chemical leaks. Last year, the US wildfires burned so fiercely, didn't many people pay attention to it?

Compared to this, the scolding war between the fans of "Empty River Blue" and "The Wandering Earth 2" on Weibo is more interesting.

Peers are enemies, not to mention that these two movies are competing in the same period, and the box office is a relationship of growth and decline.

Their fans think that as long as the reputation of the opposite side becomes bad, their own movie box office can be improved, so they attack each other very vigorously.

But they ignored one point, that is, Weibo public opinion will be "freed" by capital.

In this kind of scolding war, whoever capital wants to have the upper hand, whoever can have the upper hand.

Currently, capital seems to have chosen "Empty River Blue."

After surpassing "The Wandering Earth 2" in box office on the third day, "Empty River Blue" has achieved a reverse decline for two consecutive days.

With its current single-day box office volume, it's already amazing to be able to reverse decline for one day. If it continues for another two or three days, the total box office will be over 4 billion, and it can easily kill into the top ten of domestic movie box office history!

If "The Wandering Earth 2" can't stand up in the next three days, it will be basically impossible to surpass it later.

Luo Quan, as an onlooker, doesn't intend to participate in this struggle.

Because the market is chosen by customers.

If customers like popcorn movies, there will be more similar movies in the market, and capital is more willing to invest in such movies.

Vice versa.

A director once said that only with garbage audiences will there be garbage movies.

Although this is extreme, it is not unreasonable.

However, Luo Quan actually thinks that even if there are garbage audiences, it is not a reason for her to film garbage movies.

Bottom-level directors have no choice, of course, they film whatever they can.

But those big directors who have achieved success also rot like this, that is completely self-degeneration, and can't blame the audience.

When Luo Quan was called the hope of Chinese music and film and television in the past, she also fantasized about being able to revitalize the entire market with her own strength.

Later, she discovered that the market doesn't need to be revitalized, because good things will definitely not be buried. Just film the movie seriously.

Therefore, she doesn't intend to participate in the struggle between "Empty River Blue" and "The Wandering Earth 2."

As for the evaluation of the movie "Empty River Blue" just now, it was entirely from the perspective of an ordinary audience.

What the movie is filmed like, her evaluation is what it is, nothing more.

After being forced to accept the bet, she could only start to arrange the filming matters.

The first movie needs a lot of extras, and at the same time, the male lead and female second need acting skills, so Luo Quan made a special note in the job search statement posted on Weibo:

Male lead, female one, female second need to have a professional title of level three actor or above to sign up for auditions, male second, female third only need level four or above.

To be reasonable, this condition is already very loose, especially for the latter two roles, which could only be considered as having acting skills but not prominent levels in the past.

Now that there are actor level professional titles, it had some effect at the beginning, but soon "relationship households" appeared.

Clearly the acting skills are just like that, but they can get a level three title and have been nominated for important awards many times.

If this continues, then this actor rating will only become a joke in the end.

Of course, as a director and producer, Luo Quan is responsible for checking, so she will definitely not encounter those disgusting things.

However, even though the requirements were explained, the mailbox still received job application videos from people who didn't meet the requirements.

With the idea that there might be a "pearl in the sea," Luo Quan still seriously watched the performances of these young people.

And then she regretted it.

Speaking of which, these are also "old people" who have debuted for several years, and actor rating isn't something that just came out. Anyone who is a little bit motivated should have polished something by now.

As a result, the performances in these job application videos still made people feel so awkward. Let alone playing major roles, even playing extras made people feel out of character.

However, seeing that these job seekers were so polite and called her Teacher Luo, Luo Quan still replied to them in a tactful tone:

"Please polish your acting skills again, I am optimistic about you."

During the New Year, don't stab others in the heart.

If this were another hot-tempered director, they would either block them directly or scold them. Luo Quan felt that she was already quite kind.

What's interesting is that her recruitment statement has been out for a while, but those who come to apply are either fresh meat or small transparents with no popularity. Those middle-aged actors with acting skills and fame seem to have no interest in her movie.

Her requirements aren't high either. There are hundreds of people with level two titles.

I don't know if her meaning can be expressed clearly, Luo Quan could only post another Weibo:

"Is it the New Year, everyone is resting at home and doesn't plan to work overtime?

But if you come to perform this time, there will be overtime pay and unexpected surprises, and filming my movie is easy to win awards."

When a fact is said in the tone of a child playing house, it doesn't look very convincing.

The applicants haven't appeared yet, but the netizens laughed first:

"Haha, why is Luo Quan's party A so humble? Can't you be tougher?"

"Could it be that everyone is busy reuniting with their families and has no time to film?"

"Who told you to criticize the National Master? He is a highly respected old senior with such wide connections. Who dares to risk offending him to film for you?"

"China is ultimately a society of human relationships, not something you can do whatever you want just because you are capable."

"If you apologize to Old Mouzi, can this matter be turned over?"

"Netizens, don't imagine too much, maybe he didn't take this matter to heart at all."

"Maybe."

……………………

The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.

Luo Quan was quite puzzled about what the situation was, but the netizens' speculation awakened her.

Although she didn't subjectively criticize Old Mouzi, what was conveyed by those unscrupulous media was exactly this meaning.

She didn't know if that person was narrow-minded, but being evaluated by a peer in front of the whole internet, it was somewhat difficult to save face.

Perhaps he spoke privately, or perhaps it was the speculation of others in the entertainment industry, those famous actors didn't intend to wade into this muddy water at the moment.

It doesn't matter if you don't act in one or two movies, but it's not cost-effective to offend people because of this.

People in the circle are all human spirits, and they know how to calculate this account.

Of course, it is also possible that everyone thought too much.

Old Mouzi didn't take these to heart, and the actors just wanted to have a good New Year and didn't want to work overtime.

As for apologizing, Luo Quan would never apologize because of some hearsay rumors.

Moreover, she didn't do anything wrong.

As for actors, look for them slowly. If level two actors don't work, then level three actors will do.

Don't say, soon a level three actor really came to the door.

However, this "level three" is not that "level three," here it refers to the title level.

"Hello Director Luo, I am actor Xiao Yang. Although my level is not enough, I believe my acting skills can meet your requirements. Can you give me a chance to audition?"

The email was only a job application letter, not even a video, maybe he was also holding the mood of trying.

Luo Quan felt familiar when she saw the name Xiao Yang, so she searched online.

Found that he is a member of a music group, this group is called "Spoon Brothers."

In the music circle, Spoon Brothers are second-tier, in a stage of neither up nor down.

In recent years, this group has had no movement, and I don't know if it has disbanded.

Anyway, as a singer, Xiao Yang has started to change careers to become an actor.

Although he is a half-way monk, his talent is quite good. He played supporting roles in several comedy movies and had quite outstanding performances.

But so far, he has never acted in a movie other than comedy, nor has he acted as a protagonist.

However, Luo Quan searched for his performance clips and felt that he was a talent that could be deeply excavated, so she replied:

"You send a short video of your performance. The content is that you learned that your wife and daughter killed someone, and as the pillar of the family, you are calm and composed after encountering such a big event, telling them not to be nervous, and wait for you to go back before making plans."

Luo Quan quickly recounted the outline of this segment, and then began to look forward to Xiao Yang's reply.

Soon, the video was sent over.

It was only a short fifteen seconds. After watching it, Luo Quan immediately made a decision: "Good, you will play the male lead!" ===== CHAPTER 1043 =====
