Chapter 1337: Where Are You Going, Mom (Part 2)

~14 min read 2,724 words

"Where Are You Going, Mom? This variety show name is quite gimmicky."

Whether a program can be popular, sometimes you can tell just by looking at the name.

"Where Are You Going, Dad" was also one of the top variety shows in the domestic entertainment industry, making many lukewarm stars shine.

Although the program was only popular for the first two seasons, the quality of the later ones was relatively average.

But judging from the audience's feedback, this type of parent-child program is still very marketable.

As long as you achieve the two words "real", the program will not worry about no one watching.

Compared to the persona deliberately created in front of the screen, netizens are more willing to see what stars look like in private.

Now the reputation of "Where Are You Going, Dad" has been ruined, but if there is no dad, there is mom. It just happens that no one touches this theme, so just come to a "Where Are You Going, Mom".

Although it is copying other people's ideas, as long as the copy is outstanding enough, there will naturally be great scholars to defend it.

Therefore, the employee who was eager to make achievements in the New Year made such a plan to ask the boss Miss Luo Quan for opinions.

And in the plan, this bold employee also wanted Miss Luo Quan to participate in the filming of the first season.

A pregnant mother is also a mother, and with Miss Luo Quan's current popularity, she can definitely make the popularity of the variety show take off during the publicity stage.

If there are no accidents, "Where Are You Going, Mom" should be the first hit of Bilibili in the New Year.

But it is on the premise that Miss Luo Quan is willing to help.

Although Miss Luo Quan rarely participates in variety shows, if "Where Are You Going, Mom" really explodes, it can indeed bring extraordinary popularity to Bilibili.

As a star, she can naturally do whatever she wants, because she doesn't care about this point.

But as a boss, she still wants this bit of popularity very much.

Especially during the Spring Festival, people either visit relatives or stay at home playing with mobile phones, which is exactly when they need a work full of topics to bring fun to their lives.

Miss Luo Quan feels that "The Knockout" alone is not enough. If you add a "Where Are You Going, Mom", it might have a 1+1 > 2 effect.

So Miss Luo Quan looked at the filming plan of this "Where Are You Going, Mom" carefully.

In fact, it is to invite a group of mothers in the entertainment industry to the program to share their daily life with the baby, which is more leisurely than "Where Are You Going, Dad".

"Where Are You Going, Dad" has to travel everywhere and complete various tasks.

"Where Are You Going, Mom" is simply filmed in a villa. The biggest activity arrangement is to go out to buy vegetables, which is quite similar to "Longing for Life".

It's just that there is no content of farming, but mothers exchange parenting experience.

Miss Luo Quan originally felt that filming like this might not be watched by anyone, but considering that social pressure is so great now, maybe this more leisurely content is suitable for the

So after reading the plan, Miss Luo Quan felt it still had potential, so she replied that she could cooperate.

Soon, her subordinate sent her a target list of actresses to invite.

"Liang Mi, Zhou Liying, Huo Yiting..."

Hey, you really know how to invite; both are top-tier actresses, and the remaining one is also a frequent trending topic, so their asking prices won't be low.

But being a bit expensive is fine; after all, they are popular actresses, and only with popularity can they better attract the audience.

It's just that I don't know if so many women gathered together will trigger any catfights.

These few are not just fans, they themselves are not easy to deal with either; I hope they don't engage in that kind of backstabbing and infighting in the villa when the time comes.

Of course, if these actresses are really invited, their husbands will probably come over to make appearances from time to time, or even stay for a long time.

The good news is that Liang Mi and Zhou Liying are already divorced, and their children are by their sides, so I reckon even if their ex-husbands come, they won't come very frequently.

Huo Yiting, on the other hand, is not yet divorced, but her husband Xiang You doesn't have a very good reputation online; he previously bragged about how powerful his martial arts were, only to end up scurrying away in fear after being beaten by an abstract streamer who had only practiced boxing for a few months, which was truly a huge loss of face.

During this period, his live-streamed sales have also frequently exploded with controversies, and coupled with the fact that his father's background is truly disgraceful, he himself hasn't been spared from being scolded by netizens.

In short, if Xiang You comes to stay for too long, it will more or less cause some negative impact.

However, if he can display the image of a good father and a good husband during this period, there is actually a not-insignificant probability of him clearing his name.

But with Xiang You's explosive temper, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for him to grasp this opportunity.

As for Liu Kaiwei and Deng Feng, they can also be considered top-tier stars who were popular for a period of time, though they haven't had much activity recently, but they haven't had any bad news either.

So occasionally coming to the show once can still have a not-insignificant positive effect.

After all, how can a single mother raising a child be as interesting as a father raising a child? The former sounds like a tear-jerker, while the latter is definitely full of warmth and joy.

Of course, these are not things Miss Luo Quan can control.

When a mother comes to participate in the show, and the father wants to come to accompany the mother and child, this is a very reasonable request that there is simply no way to refuse.

So as long as they are willing to come, she must agree.

Therefore, Miss Luo Quan was already prepared for the awkward questions from netizens like, "Miss Luo Quan, where is your husband?"

To be fair, if she weren't on the show, this question should have been asked of Liang Mi.

This top-tier celebrity among top-tier celebrities in the domestic entertainment industry has many memes and unsolved mysteries surrounding her.

Appearing on the same show as Zhou Liying, even without her, would max out the topic and popularity.

Now that she has added herself, it can only be called a royal flush.

"Just thinking about it feels exciting."

Miss Luo Quan sighed, then sent a message to her subordinate: "If you can invite these people, then do it; money is not an issue, try your best to get it done."

Having such a boss is incomparably happy for any employee.

As long as the proposed plan is reliable, it can basically be approved, and the funding is sufficient, and she won't interfere excessively; there is no better boss to be found than this.

After replying here, Director He also sent a message, praising Miss Luo Quan for truly having such a great overall perspective, and expressing his willingness to negotiate with Old Mouzi to see if the filming plan could be significantly changed.

Of course, even if this matter succeeds, it will probably be a long and drawn-out process.

After all, there are too many investors and the interests involved are too deep; even if everyone knows that doing this can earn more, Miss Luo Quan wanting to intervene will still lead to a long period of tug-of-war.

Human nature, after all, is like this; when there is an opportunity to make more money, one must definitely try to earn as much as possible; taking a step back to broaden the horizon is not the kind of thinking a mature businessman should have.

"Good, then I will wait for your good news."

After signing and replying to Director He, Miss Luo Quan raised her hand and stretched.

Having been busy all morning and finishing two meaningful things, she was truly too diligent and wished she could reward herself with two days of slacking off.

However, thinking of the fans who were still waiting to watch her live stream, Miss Luo Quan could only quickly suppress the thought of slacking off to the bottom of her heart.

"Mom, is this your work for the day?"

Ningning suddenly asked at this moment.

"Yes, Mom's work is often sitting in front of the computer, either sending messages to others or chatting with fans via voice."

Miss Luo Quan didn't care whether her daughter understood these terms or not, and blurted it all out.

"That sounds so boring; I really want to come out and move around now; being cooped up all the time feels so stifling."

Hearing her daughter's words gave Miss Luo Quan a big fright: "Daughter, it's not time for you to come out yet; you must be patient and wait until you grow up before you can come out."

"I know, Mom, I was just saying." Luo Ning giggled, "By the way, Mom, after a big meal today, I feel like it won't be long before I develop my vision; then I'll be able to see just how beautiful Mom is."

Miss Luo Quan smiled proudly: "Then you must be mentally prepared, daughter, don't be stunned by Mom's beauty."

"Hah—"

As they chatted, Luo Ning suddenly yawned: "Mom, I'm a bit sleepy, I'm going to sleep first."

"Sleep, daughter, Mom will play a song for you."

As Miss Luo Quan said this, she directly used her phone to play a lullaby.

This was originally created to soothe Luo Xi, but she didn't expect that after soothing Luo Xi, she would soothe Arthur, and after soothing Arthur, she would soothe Ningning.

Of course, it wasn't just the three of them being soothed; countless babies around the world have heard this when falling asleep.

Generally, when people are sleeping, it is difficult to fall asleep with music in their ears, unless they are extremely exhausted.

However, the lullaby indeed possesses a very unique magic, making people feel completely relaxed in body and mind upon hearing it, and they can enter dreamland beautifully before long.

The song played for a few minutes, Luo Ning had already gone silent, and Miss Luo Quan herself was yawning as she listened.

After adjusting the air conditioning temperature, Miss Luo Quan pulled up the quilt, intending to take a nap.

Although it wasn't even twelve o'clock at noon yet, that big meal just now was equivalent to eating both breakfast and lunch.

Of course, more than half of the nutrition flowed to her daughter, but from her daughter's tone, it could be heard that she likely wasn't full either; after waking up, she would have to drink more of that internet-famous milk from Huanyu to properly replenish her nutrition...

"Daughter, wake up, it's time for lunch."

Miss Luo Quan, in her sleep, felt someone patting her face; after opening her eyes, she discovered it was her mother.

"It's time for lunch, I made steamed pork with rice flour and braised pork this time."

Aunt Luo Ni only said the names of these two dishes, and Miss Luo Quan's saliva couldn't help but start dripping.

Although they were both fatty meats, they were Miss Luo Quan's favorites.

In the past, she didn't even dare to eat much for the sake of her figure, but now after getting pregnant, she could eat whatever she wanted every day.

"I want to eat!"

Miss Luo Quan shouted happily, propping herself up on the bed, and couldn't wait to call out.

Although she had slept for less than two hours, she felt her stomach was already completely empty and she could feast again.

Just arriving at the stairs, Miss Luo Quan already smelled two completely different meat aromas.

After leaning out to look at the dining room, Miss Luo Quan discovered there was an unexpected surprise.

Besides the steamed pork with rice flour and braised pork, there were also fish-flavored eggplant, shredded potatoes with sour and spicy sauce, stir-fried cabbage, and tomato scrambled eggs; they were all delicious dishes to go with rice, and also vegetables that Miss Luo Quan liked quite a bit.

"Mom, how did you know I wanted to eat tomato scrambled eggs?" Miss Luo Quan looked at her mother in surprise, "I didn't even send you a message."

Aunt Luo Ni answered with a smile: "I guessed you would want to eat tomato scrambled eggs; after all, it was what you liked to eat most when you were a child, and I haven't made it for several weeks, so you must have wanted to eat it."

"Love you, Mom." Miss Luo Quan hugged her mother, smiling incomparably sweetly.

After sitting at the dining table, Miss Luo Quan picked up a chopstick of tomato scrambled eggs for the first time.

Mmm, it was still the original taste, sour and sweet with a bit of saltiness, the first choice for going with rice.

"Sis, when are you filming that Manchester thing?"

Leon had just eaten a big piece of steamed pork with rice flour and asked with his mouth full of rice.

"It's still a long way off, why?"

"Aren't you pregnant? So I was planning to go directly to film The Great Wall, and Manchester can wait until later.

But I just received news that The Great Wall is going to undergo a very major remake; not only is the story background going to be significantly changed, but even the script and the cast are going to be changed; I reckon it won't be able to start filming within a month.

So I was just asking if Manchester also needs to be delayed for about half a year; if so, then I'll go take on other roles."

Leon recounted the news he had just received, but he didn't know that the "culprit" who caused the large-scale remake of The Great Wall was sitting right in front of him.

"Originally, Manchester was planned to be filmed in a few months, but looking at the situation, it will have to be pushed back for a while."

Miss Luo Quan picked up a piece of fish-flavored eggplant and said so.

"Why?"

"Because I'm highly likely to take over The Great Wall." Miss Luo Quan answered with a giggle.

"Ah, so that mysterious new screenwriter is you!" Leon was stunned.

Miss Luo Quan shrugged: "Originally, it had nothing to do with me, but I saw that my little brother was about to be trapped by this terrible movie The Great Wall; besides stepping in to save it, what else could I do?"

"Really, Sis? I'm almost moved to tears." Leon said with tears streaming down, "But how can you be sure that The Great Wall will definitely be terrible? I feel the cast is quite good."

"You think it's basketball, looking at the lineup? The Lakers had four superstars back then, but what happened?" Miss Luo Quan looked at her brother, speechless, "Don't you look at the script? Whether a movie is good or not should be judged by that."

"Seems like that's true too." Leon scratched his head, "But I think the director is quite impressive; it's said that another Oscar-winning actor was invited to act with me; isn't this gimmick maxed out?"

"Another Oscar-winning actor?!" Miss Luo Quan was stunned; she hadn't heard that The Great Wall had this arrangement.

Leon giggled: "It was added temporarily a while ago; I only found out not long ago.

"They said they were worried the script lacked depth, so they brought in powerful actors to fill it out; because of this, the actresses in the crew are under a lot of pressure, saying that acting with two Oscar-winning actors makes them unable to even say their lines properly."
