Chapter 1235: Tragedy is always more unforgettable (Part 3)

~13 min read 2,581 words

Thanks for everyone's hard work, let's cooperate again if there is a chance!

After Luo Quan finished settling the accounts for everyone, she sent a thank-you message in the group, and then received many thanks and blessings for the box office to sell well.

The movie is finished, and the next step is to wait for the company to do the special effects. After editing, dubbing, and all these are done, it can be sent for review.

However, because "Prehistoric 2" is scheduled for the Spring Festival slot, there are still several months, so there is no need to worry at all.

It is the movie she starred in that she promised the fans before, which needs to be hurried.

Although Luo Quan said very early that this would be a movie that is a bit abusive, but the fans heard that Luo Quan was the lead actor, so they didn't care about these at all.

How long has it been since I saw her starring? It's good to be able to shoot for everyone, so what are you picking and choosing?

In fact, at the beginning of the year, she shot a "Buried Alive." Although it was a bit short, it was indeed her starring.

However, in the eyes of most fans, this "Buried Alive" is not particularly different from a short film. It is good-looking, but not enough to satisfy the addiction.

What they want to see is a good movie that is exciting enough and can reflect Luo Quan's acting skills.

Whether it can win an award is secondary. If it is like Alice in Resident Evil, it would be great. You can see her fighting scenes, and you can see high heels, cheongsam, and long legs. It is simply refreshing.

It is a pity that Resident Evil 3 has been delayed for a long time, and this time it is not a masterpiece that is going to open a movie universe.

But it is still the same sentence, considering that Luo Quan has not starred for a long time, no matter what she shoots, everyone is willing to watch.

And after finishing the filming of "Prehistoric 2," Luo Quan did not stop for a moment, and directly issued actor recruitment on Weibo.

"Next, I am going to shoot a movie on Hailan Island. The theme is youth, sadness, redemption, and love. Those who are interested can send the audition video to my mailbox. After passing, there will be further auditions."

If such a recruitment advertisement was issued at the beginning of the year, I am afraid that few big names would pay attention.

But the situation is different now. In less than a year, "Memories of Murder" swept domestic and foreign awards, and "Prehistoric" was the annual box office champion.

In terms of both reputation and box office, Luo Quan achieved a win-win, that is, winning twice.

If there is anyone who is indifferent to her recruitment now, either they are too busy to take it, or they have self-knowledge, knowing that their acting skills cannot meet Luo Quan's requirements.

Anyway, actors with normal brains don't want to miss the opportunity to shoot her play, even if they know the competition is extremely fierce, they want to try it.

The only thing that is more uncomfortable is that the recruitment of this movie did not mention the male and female leads. It is highly likely that these two candidates have been divided by Luo Quan, so only supporting roles and group performances are left.

But supporting roles are supporting roles, just show your face, it's better than nothing.

This is a movie starring Luo Quan herself. What level the movies she starred in before, whether it is "Joker" or "The Silence of the Lambs," is already unnecessary to repeat.

Being able to appear in a movie of this level is to increase the gold content of one's resume for the vast majority of actors, and it is impossible to dislike it.

As for the male and female leads of the new movie, the heroine is definitely Luo Quan, and the candidate for the male lead has become a topic of gossip for everyone.

In the theme of the new movie, there is the label of love.

Reasonably speaking, this should be the first time Luo Quan has shot a movie with love elements since her debut.

Although the screen first kiss was dedicated to Aragorn, that was a borrowed position, and the real person didn't actually kiss.

Plus her scenes in The Lord of the Rings were really not many, so it wasn't taken seriously by fans.

And other movies basically don't have much to do with love.

In fact, fans are also looking forward to Luo Quan acting in love movies, what it will look like, and also envy the male lead for being able to be a couple with Luo Quan, even if it is only in the movie.

Although kissing is not possible, hugging, holding hands, head-to-head should always be there, these can be considered relatively restrained behaviors between couples.

But fans still feel that it is too much, so jealous that they are almost crazy, so that they sent the words "Luo Quan is about to fall in love" to the hot search.

The male fans who didn't know the truth were mourning, and after reading the news, they knew that this was to shoot a movie, just a false alarm.

After paying attention to Luo Quan's new breakthrough in the movie, the labels of youth and love also made fans very concerned.

In their cognition, these words are synonymous with bad movies in a sense.

What xxx's lost youth, my youth xxx, those years xxx, sounds like a very bloody sense of sight.

Because this kind of youth pain literature, either boys and girls don't study well and tear each other, or high school students fall in love early.

Of course, it's not that falling in love early is definitely bad, but everyone knows what falling in love early means in this open environment.

After all, not every couple understands when they can indulge and when they should restrain.

Once the hormones spawned by love start to work, I am afraid that there is not much reason left in people's minds.

Therefore, it is reasonable for the hometown to resist falling in love early so much.

But these youth movies seem to like to shoot this, as if it is wrong for male and female students not to have a vigorous love.

However, where are there so many vigorous loves in the world, and how many student-era couples can go to the end? In the final analysis, it is just the consequence of unreleased energy and the depression brought by learning.

There are too many such movies. At the beginning, everyone would miss it after watching it, and would miss the campus, playground, classroom, and the you at the same table.

But watching too many such movies is meaningless, especially since such movies often end in tragedy, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

In this world, there are more people who like the happy ending. Tragedy can indeed make people more unforgettable, but it is also easier to make people fear.

After all, we can't choose the tragedy in life, but we can choose to watch or not watch the tragedy movie.

So since the youth pain movies of the past few years were scolded by netizens and no one watched them, there have been no investors willing to invest money in this type of movie.

Now Luo Quan suddenly wants to shoot such an unpopular subject matter, I don't know whether to say she is bold or confident.

In the eyes of netizens, this is definitely not the best choice.

It's good to shoot crime movies like "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Memories of Murder," which have the tension of solving cases and seeking truth, and can reflect social reality and have depth.

This is what Luo Quan is best at, and it is also what the audience loves to watch.

Of course, her choice now can also be seen as stepping out of her comfort zone to pursue breakthroughs.

If it is too unchanging, netizens will also feel greasy.

Therefore, it depends on what Luo Quan's movie looks like this time. Only after watching it can we evaluate whether her choice is good or bad.

"So, you intend to let me play the male lead?" Wen Xia looked at Luo Quan, her expression slightly surprised: "But how can I, a girl, play the male lead? And I have never acted like this before, and I have no experience at all."

In order to polish the script of "Return to Dust" that Luo Quan gave her, Wen Xia read countless books and videos, and even did farm work in the fields. Even in her dreams, she dreamed that she had become a farmer, just to play this role well.

As a result, she was told that she didn't need to play a farmer for the time being, but to play the male lead in a youth love movie. Is this pulling?

Although the heroine is Luo Quan, which still makes her feel interesting, can the love story between two women really pass the review and be released?

Even in "Farewell My Concubine," the emotions of the two male leads are very restrained and implicit. Luo Quan comes again, dare she be blatant?

Or is it still handled like "Farewell My Concubine"?

"Do you understand cross-dressing? Cross-dressing." Luo Quan saw that Wen Xia seemed to be hesitant and explained directly: "Such roles are not uncommon. Isn't Xu Xian in "Legend of the White Snake" and Jia Baoyu in "Dream of the Red Chamber" cross-dressing?

And the protagonist of "Under One Person" played by Lin Mo recently is also cross-dressing. Have you forgotten all these?"

"I haven't forgotten, but can it really work?" Wen Xia looked down at her chest, "After all, I am a girl. Will it be out of play?"

"With your scale, you don't need to worry about this at all." Luo Quan leaned her head on the sofa and said with a smile.

Because she hadn't given Wen Xia the potion of the universe, her figure could only be said to be quite good, and it was definitely several grades worse than Luo Quan's.

Precisely because of this, Luo Quan asked her to play the male lead and herself to play the heroine.

And Wen Xia heard this, although she knew that Luo Quan was right, she was still very angry.

"Is a good figure amazing?" Wen Xia glared at her friend, stretched out her hand and said angrily: "Take out the script, let me see what kind of story it is."

"My God, I seem to hear someone is going to shoot a new movie!" Suddenly, Gao Liang walked in from the yard, looking excited: "What movie is it? Do I have a chance to act?"

"Sister, do you know how long I haven't had a serious role to play? If you don't give me a chance, I'm almost forgetting how to act!"

Luo Quan answered with a smile: "In my play, the remaining few roles don't seem to be suitable for you."

"How is it possible!" Gao Liang said with a smile: "I am a movie emperor, what kind of role can't I shape?"

"Wen Xia's side is the male lead script, I am the heroine, the kind that wants to fall in love. Do you intend to act?" After Luo Quan finished speaking, she drank a sip of white water with ease.

Gao Liang looked at Wen Xia, and his expression became complicated.

He imagined the possible consequences after playing this role: one is German orthopedics, and the other is a British court.

It doesn't sound like a very good ending.

"It seems that I really can't play this male lead, are there any other roles?" Gao Liang was unwilling to give up and continued to ask.

Luo Quan answered: "There is also a rapist role, but you are not very suitable."

"Why?!" Gao Liang was very puzzled, but soon he thought of something, "You don't intend to tell me that this victim is you, right?"

"Otherwise?" Luo Quan spread her hands, her expression helpless.

"That's really a headache." Gao Liang scratched his head, feeling that this matter was probably not going to happen.

"Luo Bao, what kind of plot is this? Why does it sound so abusive." Wen Xia said and opened the script, "I remember you don't hate tragedy, why are you inconsistent?"

"Because tragedy is always more unforgettable," Luo Quan answered like this, "The more unforgettable things are, the easier it is to become a classic. Many comedies are forgotten after everyone laughs, but if it is a tragedy, then maybe it can make people hold a grudge for a long time, becoming an unforgettable regret for countless people."

"You have quite a lot of ideas." Wen Xia laughed and began to read the background of the movie script.

"The story takes place in a seaside town. The protagonist is called Xia Qing, a good student with excellent character and learning, but has a tragic fate..."

Wen Xia was fascinated by reading, and after a while, her eye sockets even turned red. Obviously, she had been hurt by this abusive story and couldn't control her tears.

"Is it that abusive?" Gao Liang asked curiously, then turned his head to look at Luo Quan: "Sister, give me a copy of the script too."

As soon as the voice fell, Wen Xia handed the script to Gao Liang.

She wiped her tears and said: "No, this script is too miserable. I couldn't read it after reading half of it. Let me adjust my mood first."

Gao Liang blinked, his expression became cautious. Before opening the script, he specially pulled two pieces of paper for emergency needs.

However, less than ten minutes passed, and the tears in Gao Liang's eyes began to gather.

As the embodiment of the American dream, the tough guy in the hearts of thousands of girls, Gao Liang Albert actually cried.

Probably to maintain his dignity as a man, he endured not wiping away his tears.

"Okay, if you want to cry, just cry. What are you pretending in front of your sister?" Luo Quan handed the tissue to Gao Liang.

"I'm twenty-something, and I cried like this for the first time." Gao Liang took the tissue, wiped his tears quickly, and continued to read the script.

After seeing the second half, he really couldn't hold it anymore, put down the script and took a deep breath: "Let's stop here, let me slow down."

"Don't you want to finish it in one go?" Luo Quan laughed.

"You can still laugh after writing such a script?" Gao Liang was very surprised, "Sister, you are simply too hard-hearted. No wonder you can write the story so abusively."

Wen Xia, who had already slowed down, asked her friend: "Luo Bao, I remember you said this story would be a happy ending, but why can't I see such a sign at all?"

"It is a happy ending in the end. You haven't seen it there yet." Luo Quan said, took out another script from her backpack: "One for each of you, take it back and read it slowly. Friendly reminder, prepare tissues." ===== CHAPTER 1236 =====
