Chapter 1320
Happy events bring high spirits. Since her pregnancy was exposed, Miss Luo Quan, who had been a bit gloomy, suddenly became cheerful.
Her personality is the type that doesn't like to lie; she believes she should be honest with everyone.
But the matter of pregnancy was too big, and she really didn't know if she would be directly defined as having a "collapsed career" if she said it out loud.
Concern leads to chaos, so she chose to hide it.
Living in this world, if one lives in pain, it's either because one is not noble enough or not despicable enough.
Miss Luo Quan clearly didn't fit either end, so her mood was somewhat depressed during that time.
Now it's better. Although her grandparents accidentally broke the window paper for her, they also did her a big favor.
Facts have proven that she underestimated the power of the reputation she had accumulated over the years.
It was precisely because her reputation on the internet was so good that most people felt there was no problem with her pregnancy.
Coupled with the plausible reason she came up with later, everyone accepted this fact. Miss Luo Quan didn't suffer any impact at all; instead, she gained quite a few fans. She herself found it very magical.
Although she didn't know why her fan count inexplicably increased after pregnancy—perhaps these people just like babies, just like some female fans like to cultivate male celebrities from a young age—after all, humans really have no resistance to cubs.
"Eating pork ribs again?"
Miss Luo Quan looked down at the large basin of pork rib soup in front of her, her expression a bit bitter.
"It's the last meal." Aunt Luo Ni glared at her picky daughter. "I bought a bit too much last weekend, so of course we're eating pork ribs every day. You don't like chicken soup, and duck is cold in nature, not suitable for winter. In a few days, I won't know what to make for you anymore."
Miss Luo Quan replied with a chuckle: "Home-cooked dishes are fine; I'm not lacking nutrition now."
"Still need to eat more, lest the baby is born as thin as a monkey, just like you were when you were little."
After Aunt Luo Ni dumped all the pork ribs into Miss Luo Quan's bowl, she left the live broadcast room.
"I didn't expect Luo Bao to be so thin when she was little."
"Wrong, Luo Bao was thin when she was little, but she's not thin at all when she grows up."
"She already had quite a figure when she debuted, otherwise you think the Abyss..."
"Abyss what? If you have the guts, say it again. (Kind smile)"
"She's going to be a mother, give her some face."
"This pork rib soup is stewed beautifully, glistening with oil; it looks very appetizing."
"If she keeps being fed like this, Luo Bao will probably reach 150 pounds after giving birth to Ningning."
"That's an exaggeration, 130 pounds at most."
………………
"Is it that exaggerated?" Miss Luo Quan looked down at her body in confusion, then stood up and turned around. "I'm not that fat, am I? It's just that I'm wearing more clothes in winter. My weight is only 120 now."
Before pregnancy, Miss Luo Quan's weight hovered around 115. It's normal for weight to increase significantly after pregnancy, but increasing to 130 would be too exaggerated.
After turning around, Miss Luo Quan sat back in her seat: "You people like to exaggerate. Which pregnant woman gains 40 pounds? It's not like I'm pregnant with Nezha.
Besides, even if I really reach 150 pounds, do you think I can't lose it with my perseverance?"
"Indeed, Luo Bao's self-discipline is nothing to question. She used to sleep on time before 12 o'clock for a long time."
"It's okay, I'll love you even if you reach 150. I just like this kind of tank."
"Hahaha, it's hard to imagine what Luo Bao at 150 would look like. How fat would she be?"
"Maybe no change, but F becomes H."
"Damn! Wouldn't that be an epic upgrade?"
"No matter how hard it is, don't make the child suffer."
"These aren't things we can worry about. Let's talk about the new movie."
"What's there to talk about? It's about to be released. I've watched the trailer N times, and I've almost memorized the lines."
"It's said that Gao Liang has an Oscar-level performance this time. Is it true?"
"Small matter. Even in *Tiny Times*, Gao Liang had an Oscar-level performance, and he was handsome to the point of exploding."
"Looking forward to it."
………………
Because of the pregnancy, news about *The Wolf of Huaerjie* on the internet has indeed decreased a lot recently.
Miss Luo Quan spent a lot of money on publicity, which should have been a hot topic these days, but because the heat was stolen by herself and Luo Ning, the effect was far less than expected, and there didn't seem to be any splash.
Originally, she was counting on *The Wolf of Huaerjie* to be both critically and commercially successful, kicking off the first shot of the New Year.
As it stands, if the public opinion continues to focus on her, the time for *The Wolf of Huaerjie* to take off will likely be delayed.
After thinking for a while, Miss Luo Quan said: "You guys probably haven't seen the news yet. *The Wolf of Huaerjie* has been scheduled for release in a week, a bit earlier than *Prehistoric 2*."
Barrage:
"!!!"
"It's finally here. I've finally waited for the definite news."
"I've already seen the final trailer. It's Gao Liang giving a speech."
"How come the atmosphere feels a bit like a pyramid scheme!"
"Huaerjie in that era, if you want to make big money, don't you have to be like that? To put it nicely, it's called financial incentive; to put it bluntly, it's a pyramid scheme."
"The song at the end is quite good. Is there a full version?"
"That's the theme song, right? It's actually sung by Yun Jingxiao. A dream collaboration."
"What kind of dream collaboration is this? It's standard procedure."
"That's Yun Jingxiao! The flag-bearer of the Japanese rock scene 10 years later, a big name famous all over the world!"
"Hahahaha, you can tell at a glance that they are new fans."
"Fun fact: Miss Luo Quan was in the same band as Yun Jingxiao back then. All those early classic tracks of Yun Jingxiao were written by Miss Luo Quan."
"Damn?!"
"Didn't expect that, right? Luo Bao also played rock in her early years, and many of her songs have entered the list of the 100 greatest rock songs. This is an authoritative list selected by *Rolling Stone*."
"At the rock musician gathering back then, Miss Luo Quan stood in the C-position as the representative of the new generation and even left her handprints on the Walk of Fame."
"And then a few days later, she swept the Grammys, winning over a dozen awards. It was the peak of her life."
"I suggest new fans take a close look at Luo Bao's life resume, and then you will find that every year since she debuted has been the peak of her life."
"Is your Sister Luo amazing or what?"
………………
Listening to old fans boasting about her past to new fans, reminiscing about the glorious years, is a very magical experience.
However, although she was smiling like a flower, Miss Luo Quan still waved her hand: "Hey, that was so many years ago, why bring it up? People have to look forward. Although the achievements in the past were not bad, one cannot keep resting on their laurels."
Hearing this, the barrage became even more amused:
"If we call you fat, you really start panting, huh?"
"She's the type who says one thing but means another. She says she doesn't care, but she's already smiling."
"Reasonably speaking, she did slack off a bit last year. It seems she didn't win any serious awards."
"Nonsense, aren't the Golden Rooster and Huabiao awards?"
"These small domestic ones... don't feel as good as the Oscars."
"Indeed, what's the point of mentioning awards that are just 'dividing the pork'? Although the Oscars haven't been good these years either, it's all about human favors and political correctness."
"Get used to it. The overall trend in the art world now is to slack off. Whether it's the quality of the work or the fairness of the selection, it's far inferior to the beginning of the century."
"Everyone is regressing, but I think Luo Bao alone is still climbing the peak. Her works last year were all top-notch."
"Indeed, *Memories of Murder*, *Prehistoric*, *Sea*—these are all good films that can win big awards."
"There will be a good show at the Oscars and Cannes this year. I think Luo Bao is going to kill it this time."
"Don't forget, there are two new movie releases this year: *Prehistoric 2* and *The Wolf of Huaerjie*. The latter is also Gao Liang's passionate work after a long time."
"I have always felt that Gao Liang and Miss Luo Quan should film an epic love masterpiece like *Titanic*. With two such perfect faces, it's a pity not to leave some traces together."
"And they are both Best Actor and Best Actress. Heaven knows what kind of visual feast they would offer."
"Damn, you really dare to think. But this idea is indeed very tempting."
"The idea is good. If they were siblings, it would definitely be no problem."
"I actually think it would be even more topical."
"It's definitely not possible now. They are both about to be parents."
"Indeed, it's too regrettable."
………………
I have to say, sometimes the suggestions these fans come up with are truly breathtaking.
But some things are just that regrettable.
Everyone knows that it might be beautiful if it appeared, but everyone also knows that it is impossible to appear.
Just like the collaboration between Miss Luo Quan and Gao Liang on screen.
If it's just a scene like in *The Silence of the Lambs*, then of course there is no problem.
The character Dr. Hannibal played by Miss Luo Quan became the role that won the Best Actress award in the shortest time in film history, hailed as the peak moment of an actress's acting skills.
And Buffalo Bill played by Gao Liang was also breathtaking.
If his screen time hadn't been so short, he could have at least won a Best Actor nomination.
Of course, for him, life has actually been very smooth.
After all, he played in *American Dream* the following year and directly won the Best Actor award without controversy. To this day, he is hailed as the true Captain America. Who wouldn't salute him when they see him?
This is the bonus brought by a classic role.
Playing Jack, Gao Liang became the nation's husband.
Playing Forrest Gump, Gao Liang directly became a national hero.
Going to film some other romance movie, the bonus is no longer particularly large.
Perhaps playing *The Godfather* could have a relatively large bonus.
But that's at least 20 years away. Gao Liang can't play *The Godfather* now; he can't convey that feeling at all.
The good news is that *The Wolf of Huaerjie* is about to be released.
If nothing goes wrong, he should soon be able to earn the title of "Gold Medal Lecturer."
After all, in *The Wolf of Huaerjie*, he fully demonstrated what is called the art of language and incitement. The brainwashing masters in pyramid schemes are nothing compared to him.
"Don't think about it. I have no heart to act in any romance movies now; there is simply no condition for it."
Miss Luo Quan said, directly sticking out her belly: "Let alone romance, I basically can't act in normal movies anymore."
But how could this stump the barrage? They directly replied:
"There are still some films that can be shot, such as a recently popular anime. It should also be very popular if adapted into a movie."
"What anime?"
"*Oshi no Ko*."
"Damn, this one. It is indeed very popular, and it has quite a few similarities with Luo Bao's experience."
"It's also about a star secretly getting pregnant, right? But the heroine's end is not very good. After getting pregnant, her address was found out by extreme fans, and then she was directly stabbed."
"It's indeed quite unexpected. I never thought it would develop like this."
"But this kind of thing will definitely not happen to Miss Luo Quan. With her combat power, if a brain-dead fan really comes to the door to find trouble, it's not certain who will be stabbed."
"Does Miss Luo Quan need a knife? Her fist is more powerful than any knife."
"Haha, don't make Luo Bao sound so barbaric. She is usually quite ladylike, okay?"
"Indeed, provided you don't mention the Abyss."
"You kid, you don't want your account anymore, right?"
………………
When Miss Luo Quan encounters this kind of situation, she always feels very helpless.
Because she clearly isn't that brutal, how come everyone has demonized her like a big witch?
Although she did ban some fans who liked to say these words in the past, wasn't that for the sake of the show's effect?
When she banned them, it was for a year, but she unbanned them immediately after the broadcast. When did she ever really ban anyone for a year?
So Miss Luo Quan felt quite aggrieved when she saw such remarks and said helplessly: "Don't bring up the 'Abyss Maw' anymore. Everyone says I ban you, but did I really ban anyone because of this last year?
The ones I banned the most were those who came to stir up trouble, so everyone stop talking nonsense."
Barrage:
"Haha, Luo Bao finally can't take it anymore. It's all your fault. We can't even see that kind of pure smile on Luo Bao's show anymore."
"My smile is not impure."
"Can't hold it in. You guys are the best at creating content."
"Alright, this kind of meme is fine to play once or twice. It's boring to play it too much."
"Luo Bao is also going to be a mother, give her some face."
"Indeed, saying it's an 'Abyss Maw,' Luo Bao's mouth is actually not big. Let's stop playing this meme in the future."
"Great, this rotten meme is finally dead."
"By the way, Luo Bao, are you really not planning to act in *Oshi no Ko*? It feels really fitting."
"If Luo Bao acts in it, the plot has to be changed. Don't let the protagonist be stabbed by fans, otherwise we'll only see her in the first episode, and there will be no scenes for her afterward."
"Indeed, it can be changed to her being on the verge of death and then saved by the baby, and then embarking on the peak of being an idol."
"In that case, the TV series title can be changed to *Oshi no Luo Bao*."
"Good, Miss Luo Quan is indeed my 'Oshi'."
"Haha, why can you always find ways to take advantage of Miss Luo Quan?"
"If there's an advantage to be taken, only a fool wouldn't. Besides, who wouldn't want to take advantage of Luo Bao?"
"Indeed."
………………
Today is another day of being persecuted, but the good news is that after today, the fans should no longer use the "Abyss Maw" to anger her.
