Chapter 1120: A Little Bit of Traffic Shock

PS: Thanks to book friend Mercury's Masked Rider for the book coins, thank you!

Main text:

After several days of preparation, the filming venue for the Bilibili Song Festival has been set up.

The space is not very large, a bit like the small theaters used by musical and drama troupes.

However, because the theater is small, the decor is much more exquisite, with an overall gold tone that makes it look like a miniature version of the Golden Hall.

When photos of the theater were released, netizens left comments one after another: "High-class."

In terms of atmosphere, this performance stage is indeed quite extraordinary; the smaller space provides a greater sense of security, and emotions can be more relaxed.

Additionally, such a space is very suitable for singers to perform, and it also allows cameras to capture all the movements and expressions of the contestants.

"This is just one of the venues. Later on, we will take the contestants to a proper stadium for an open-air concert; that is the real place to test singing skills."

Seeing the fans discussing it so heatedly, Miss Luo Quan drew another big pie in the comment section.

"Are you finally planning to hold a concert?"

"National tour! National tour!"

"The music market has recovered recently, many singers are holding concerts, and music festivals are also in full swing. Miss Luo Quan, are you really not planning to join in the fun?"

"Indeed, your box office appeal is currently one of the best in the country. It would be a pity not to hold thirty-two concerts."

"I hope Miss Luo Quan holds one in every province in the country to see if she can achieve the feat of emptying the streets."

"This is a great opportunity for you to challenge yourself and set a new record."

………………

The thinking of netizens is always so jumpy; they take advantage of any opportunity to push their luck.

Miss Luo Quan only said that the subsequent programs would be performed in the form of concerts at stadiums, and as a result, these people asked her to go directly on a national tour.

She has done concerts a few times; to be honest, she didn't earn much, and she had to rehearse for many days in advance, which was very tiring.

If she encountered fans who were a bit more enthusiastic, she couldn't leave when the time came, and she would have to sing until at least one or two in the morning.

Unfortunately, the fans were always very enthusiastic whenever she held a concert, and she often ended up singing for several extra hours.

Of course, she didn't reject such things; in fact, she was quite happy to sing for her fans on the concert stage.

But concerts require researching costumes, makeup, and props, arranging backup dancers, and organizing ticketing.

Working hard for more than half a month, just for one night of revelry.

Miss Luo Quan felt that this efficiency was too low; it was better to stay at home and sing for her fans in front of the camera.

Although the singing time was a little less, at least they could hear it whenever they wanted, and they didn't have to spend money.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan didn't like holding concerts; to sum it up in two words, "troublesome."

So when she saw so many people making a fuss, she chose to remain silent as if she hadn't seen it.

Having spent many years on the internet, she had learned a truth.

That is, say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes, and if you don't speak, you won't make mistakes.

How many people, after making a mistake, published various essays trying to explain, but the result was that the more they described it, the darker it got, eventually inciting public anger.

By comparison, cold treatment is actually the wisest method.

Forget about concerts or whatever; however, if the fans' emotions were high, she could sing on stage for free for another night after the program was recorded.

With her current physical fitness, she could fully achieve the true meaning of partying for three days and three nights, and it wouldn't cause any damage to her throat.

Of course, doing this on Earth would be too shocking; singing all night would probably make people worry about her health the next day, so singing for one night would be better.

However, if this decision were announced, the fans would definitely say again: Since you decided to sing, why not just hold a concert?

People are greedy; they look at the pot before they finish eating what's in their bowl, which is normal operation.

Not giving them expectations from the beginning and then giving them a surprise when the time comes will have a much better effect.

So even though the voices in the comment section calling for her to hold a concert were quite loud, they were eventually brushed off by Miss Luo Quan, who played dumb.

"Sis, I see that recording starts tomorrow. Have you booked your flight?" Gao Liang packed his luggage, brought it downstairs, and looked ready to set off at any time.

"Where are you going?" Miss Luo Quan looked at her brother in confusion.

Gao Liang also felt very strange: "To record the program. We can't just prepare slowly after getting off the plane tomorrow, right?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, most of Bilibili's program recordings are completed in Night Shanghai, and it takes twenty minutes by car to get there." Miss Luo Quan stuffed a piece of apple into her mouth and said with a smile.

"Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!" Gao Liang was helpless. "I thought we were going to the capital."

"You didn't ask." Miss Luo Quan replied righteously.

This conversation had quite the meaning of Miss Luo Quan questioning the system back then.

Sure enough, people will sooner or later live to become the person they hate the most.

Although he had packed for nothing, Gao Liang was still very happy not to have to endure the hardships of travel.

Kicking the suitcase to the wall, Gao Liang sat on the sofa, peeled a banana, and started gnawing on it.

"Speaking of which, have you booked your flight back to the United States? That 'The Wolf of Wall Street' should be starting filming soon. I saw the news released by the director a while ago."

Miss Luo Quan looked at her brother and asked about this matter.

"It won't be filmed for a short time." Gao Liang chewed the banana with his mouth full and said vaguely.

"Why?" Miss Luo Quan was very surprised. "Has the zero-dollar shopping situation in the United States intensified again?"

"Hey, hasn't it always been like that over there? There's no such thing as intensifying or not."

Gao Liang swallowed the banana and said: "All the screenwriters in the United States are on strike, organized by the union, and almost all of Hollywood has come to a standstill."

"There's such a thing!" Miss Luo Quan hurriedly lowered her head, took out her phone, and opened Twitter to take a look.

The screenwriters in the United States were indeed on a major strike, and the reason was very simple: to get a raise.

The screenwriters felt that the scripts they wrote were paid at a fixed price, and no matter how popular the script became later, they didn't get any share.

They felt this was very unfair, so they demanded a raise.

Currently, union representatives are talking to producer representatives, but it doesn't seem very optimistic.

After all, the current economic situation is not good; there are layoffs, pay cuts, and spending reductions everywhere, and the strategy is to save as much as possible.

You screenwriters suddenly demand a raise; if it were just for the screenwriters, that would be fine.

What if the actors see that the screenwriters got a raise, and they also let the union organize a strike to discuss a raise?

If screenwriters and actors get a raise, do the lighting, photography, and prop masters get one? Do the floor managers, directors, and costume designers get one?

There are so many professional divisions in a film crew; if this circle of raises continues, the cost will increase by an unknown amount.

So the producers are not very willing to loosen their grip, and the screenwriters are also determined to earn more money, so the two sides are deadlocked.

And with the screenwriters on strike, the crew has no new plots and character dialogue, so it can only come to a standstill.

In fact, similar situations have happened many times before.

Some crews, in order for the movie to be released on time, directly let the actors improvise, talk based on feeling in front of the camera, and the plot also develops based on feeling.

Therefore, many movies from this period often have obvious plot problems.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the number of film crews still working in the United States can be counted on one hand.

The "Resident Evil" team counts as one, because the screenwriter is the boss of the company and is not an American.

The American screenwriters going on strike won't affect her, a Chinese person.

However, in order to avoid being called a scab, Miss Luo Quan still notified the crew to stop filming and let everyone take a break.

The whole of Hollywood has come to a standstill, and all the workers are supporting the screenwriters' strike with words or actions. If your crew is still working there, it's too glaring and easy to affect your reputation.

Although not everyone who supports the strike is sincere.

But in an environment like the United States, if you don't support it, it's the biggest incorrectness, and empathizing with capitalists will definitely be scolded to pieces.

Now there are already a few people who have made negative examples, complaining about the screenwriters' strike when facing the media, saying it affected the filming work.

Now these people have been scolded miserably by American public opinion, and it might directly lead to the end of their careers.

Miss Luo Quan, who has always paid attention to these details, would certainly not make a mistake, so she gave instructions to the person in charge over there immediately.

"Sis, your reaction is quite fast. You let the crew stop working as soon as you knew the news." Gao Liang heard Miss Luo Quan's phone call and gave her a thumbs up.

Miss Luo Quan was proud and beaming: "Your sister is famous for being airtight. Is this little thing worth complimenting? It's just a routine operation.

Rest assured and prepare for tomorrow's program recording. You are the number one signboard for attracting female viewers!"

"How can you call it a signboard? That's too ugly." Gao Liang shook his finger and corrected: "Please call me a friend of women."

"What friend of women?" Mia hugged her son and came downstairs, hearing her husband bragging there again.

Miss Luo Quan said with a smile: "I said Gao Liang is the signboard for our program to attract female viewers, but he is not happy and insists on saying he is a friend of women."

Mia thought for a while and nodded: "There are indeed quite a lot of middle-aged women in your live broadcast room."

Gao Liang's expression was serious: "How can those be middle-aged women? Please use mature women to describe my fans."

"Would mature women give you so much money every day? I think they are no different from teenage girls!" Mia curled her lips, her tone sour.

Gao Liang has been popular until now, and his fan base has long been not limited to those young girls.

With his looks, he can kill everyone from middle-aged and elderly women to ignorant girls. Now it's just a normal situation after his popularity has opened up.

Compared to young girls who have no source of income, those mature women who are fans of Gao Liang spend money ruthlessly.

Because Gao Liang doesn't bring goods much and doesn't sell peripherals, these women brush gifts in the live broadcast room every day, and it's crazy.

It is said that the main force of fan circle voting is often women.

Maybe women have more spare money than men, and they lose rationality once they spend it.

"What can I do? Your husband is just so charming." Gao Liang spread his hands and smiled triumphantly.

Mia curled her lips and did not refute.

Because he is indeed very charming, otherwise she wouldn't have married this guy.

"Son, let Dad hold you." Gao Liang took Arthur from Mia's arms, lowered his head, and touched the little guy's cheek with his nose.

After gradually growing up, the frequency of Arthur crying at night has decreased too much compared to before, and now the couple can finally sleep peacefully at night.

Sometimes I felt that this little cub was really noisy before, but now I like him more and more.

However, Arthur didn't stay in his father's arms for long before raising his hands to Miss Luo Quan.

"Haha, he is still closer to his aunt." Mia laughed.

Gao Liang looked at his son with jealousy: "I don't love you less on weekdays, kid. Why do you always want your aunt and not your dad?"

"Maybe it's because you're too handsome and boys don't like you." Miss Luo Quan's joke made Mia laugh out loud.

This is actually a truth.

Although Gao Liang is very popular among boys because of his abstract antics.

But also because he is too handsome, many boys don't like him. It can be said that the polarization is quite serious.

In fact, Miss Luo Quan also faced the same situation back then, but her reputation has been much better in recent years than before, and she can be considered to have truly achieved full-network praise.

As for Gao Liang, he hasn't reached this point yet, so there are many boys who like him, and there are also many who hate him.

However, putting this on Arthur is just a joke. Maybe it's simply because Miss Luo Quan brought Arthur the most during the period after he was born, so he is more willing to be close to her when he sees her.

The couple also knows this and has thought of ways to make up for it, but the effect doesn't seem to be very obvious.

In fact, the same thing happened not only to Arthur, but Luo Xi also had the same performance.

Since the whole family came back from traveling, Luo Xi has been very close to her sister.

When Eric, Luo Ni, and Miss Luo Quan are all present, Luo Xi is definitely more willing to let Miss Luo Quan hold her.

Every time they have a video call, Luo Xi is also very excited when she sees her sister.

No one knows the reason. Maybe it's because Miss Luo Quan's looks are too high, so even children like her very much when they see her.

"Speaking of which, if my sister has children in the future, what name will she give them?" Gao Liang looked at his son and asked suddenly.

This question stumped Miss Luo Quan. After a while, she said: "I really haven't thought about this question. After all, I haven't even decided when to find a partner, so how can I think about naming the child?"

"You have to plan ahead." Gao Liang had just learned an idiom and used it immediately.

"Yo, you can use idioms now." Miss Luo Quan smiled, "That's what I said, but naming can't be so sloppy; it also needs inspiration.

And this inspiration will probably only appear after the child is born."

"Indeed." Gao Liang and Mia nodded, feeling that Miss Luo Quan's words were fine. ===== CHAPTER 1121 =====
