Main Text:

Miss Luo Quan knew that this matter would sooner or later be brought up by the fans.

Succubus, what a good cosplay material. A justifiable reason to let the cosplayer wear sexy clothing, and the white skin is also a large area of exposure, not a swimsuit but better than a swimsuit.

However, Miss Luo Quan also had a way, directly sticking her belly out: "I'm in this situation now, and you still want me to cosplay the Succubus Queen? Can you guys be human?"

"It's not that I won't do cosplay for everyone, the key is whether it's suitable or not."

Barrage:

"Then can you cosplay after giving birth to the baby?"

"By the time Luo Ning is born, it will almost be summer. By then, we'll be shooting swimsuits, and cosplay will definitely be omitted directly."

"That's the logic, Luo Bao dodged it again."

"Forget it, there are plenty of people cosplaying the Succubus Queen online. It doesn't matter if Luo Bao doesn't want to. Anyway, it's the same effect to go directly into the game to see."

"That's true."

"Pity."

Seeing that the fans seemed still quite unwilling, Miss Luo Quan said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that I can't cosplay with my current figure, it's just that the character I cosplay might not fit everyone's aesthetic."

"There is a hero in League of Legends, Gragas the Rabble Rouser, who fits my figure quite well. Zhu Bajie in Honor of Kings is also about the same. If I cosplay that, there shouldn't be any incongruity."

"Let's forget about this, what's good about cosplaying two dead fat guys."

"You don't have any idol baggage at all, go less into these strange things."

"I also think we should forget it, don't destroy the perfect image of Luo Bao in my heart."

"It's not that Luo Bao can't cosplay Zhu Bajie."

"Just like this big fat guy."

"Speaking of logic, if Luo Bao gets fat and then goes to shoot an inspirational weight-loss movie, will it be better than Director Zhen's?"

Originally chatting about cosplaying Zhu Bajie, the topic suddenly pulled to the inspirational weight-loss movie.

Miss Luo Quan was stunned after reading it: "How do you guys know I want to shoot a movie related to weight loss? I haven't revealed any news about this before, have I?"

Now it was the barrage's turn to be shocked:

"You are also going to shoot a weight-loss one?"

"This is going to be fun. Director Zhen just released one over there, and the heat is quite high."

"Indeed, don't know how much money was spent on marketing, the whole internet is blowing it, I didn't see where it was shot well."

"The filming process is quite inspirational, actually lost 100 pounds, the director went from a fat girl to a little beauty."

"I support Luo Bao shooting this type of movie with both hands, just like this kind of beauty of contrast before and after."

"But it looks like it can't be shot now, it was snatched by someone else."

While the fans were discussing enthusiastically, Miss Luo Quan also searched for relevant information online.

This year's Spring Festival file, Director Zhen Lin released a movie called "Rolling Fire," which is about a fat girl who is looked down upon by everyone, in order not to be hurt anymore, she works hard to lose weight and becomes a boxer.

The main theme of the whole movie is to treat yourself well; weight loss can actually only be considered the second theme.

However, because the director and actor Zhen Lin had such a huge contrast before and after filming the movie, weight loss became the only label for this movie, causing heated discussion on the whole internet.

It's no wonder netizens are so concerned; it's mainly because Zhen Lin's gimmick of losing 100 pounds in a year is too big.

Xiao Miao was about the same weight before, and she used all kinds of black technology, and after losing it, she didn't say she reached a very thin level.

But the effect Zhen Lin presented was really explosive; the before and after were simply two different people. Many weight-loss bloggers said that it was impossible to achieve this effect in just one year. This wasn't just using technology; this was definitely done with a lot of medical aesthetics.

But regardless of whether she did medical aesthetics or not, Zhen Lin is indeed very thin now, visually only about 100 pounds.

Such a huge weight-loss range also successfully made the movie "Rolling Fire" the hottest movie in the Spring Festival file, and the heat was even higher than "Fengshen."

It was probably because the plot of the second part was in the connection stage, plus the heat of the first part had reached its peak, leading to the discussion of the second part not being as high as the first.

It was mainly because Miss Luo Quan had already released all the plots of the Honghuang stream, so everyone didn't discuss the plot much, but went to tear apart the combat power of each character, taking away quite a lot of the movie's heat.

As for Director Zhen Lin, she had already established her status as the number one new-generation female director in China with "Hello, Mom" the year before last. Now that the new movie is online, and using herself as an example, the promotional effect achieved is naturally quite good.

Although "Fengshen 2" had the advantage in box office, the speed of growth was obviously not as fast as the first one. If the word-of-mouth of "Rolling Fire" continued to ferment, creating the same movement as "Hello, Mom," it wouldn't be impossible for the box office to overtake it.

Actually, after experiencing Luo Xiaoyuan's small account, she had quite a bit of insight into weight loss.

The contrast of online public opinion before and after weight loss, as well as the different treatment of oneself by men and women in reality, she had personal experience. This kind of content shot out would definitely have topicality and depth.

Plus her own traffic, the box office certainly wouldn't be bad.

As long as the character portrayal is profound, it wouldn't be impossible to compete for those big awards.

But it probably won't work now. Director Zhen Lin has already shot the movie, and the heat is so high. Shooting another movie with the same theme in a short time will inevitably have the suspicion of picking up others' wisdom.

If it's shot well, it will be complained that you don't give your peers a way to live, shooting whatever others shoot.

If it's not shot well, it will be even more fun, directly saying that you don't even understand how to rub heat, and there will be more mockery by then.

So although many people in the barrage are persuading her to do one too, she still shook her head: "Others have already shot it, why should I go and join in the fun."

"Moreover, Xiao Miao has already demonstrated it once before. I go and shoot it again, it really isn't necessary."

"Just like the phantom beast that fans got for me, let me produce a similar open-world online game. I feel that since others have done this thing, you immediately go to rub the heat and replicate it. This kind of behavior is not very good, so I thought I'd better forget it."

The barrage laughed instantly:

"Luo Bao, I suspect you are implying a certain company."

"Implied? I think this can already be counted as a clear indication. Which company in China likes to rub heat and replicate the most?"

"Speaking of logic, there are quite a few companies that like to do this kind of thing."

"Indeed, but if you must pick a company that is most representative, then..."

"Bold! You don't want your account anymore?"

"What are you afraid of with a Bilibili account? It's not Tencent's turn to manage it."

"Cold knowledge, Tencent is also one of Bilibili's major shareholders."

Shareholders are shareholders, but Miss Luo Quan didn't have any hesitation when she teased them.

Mainly because Tencent also has a reputation in the industry, and the public opinion is already hard to change; it's not something she can solve by teasing or not.

In short, whether it's movies or games, she doesn't plan to rub heat.

Rubbing heat is easy to be complained about, and she will also lose her already scarce rest time.

Like the previous "Great Wall" changing to "Pacific Rim," she originally intended to go and direct it.

However, because she was really lacking energy after pregnancy, she let Director Zhang go and handle it, just follow her script. After "Great Wall" opens later, she will shoot another "Pacific Rim," and the effect will be better.

Of course, she is definitely not lacking energy now, but since there is an opportunity to fish in troubled waters, why refuse?

But she definitely can't say this kind of thing, or the fans will scold her again when they hear it.

Alas, being a celebrity is really too suffocating.

Other celebrities are all like grandfathers, surrounded by a circle of agents and assistants, ordering them around, and treating fans like slaves.

Even so, they can still be prosperous, and even be praised by fans as "true temperament."

And if Miss Luo Quan dares to do this, her previous persona will completely collapse, and she will be scolded even worse.

It can only be said that crying children have milk to eat, and good people will always be pointed at by guns. If you dare to have a little bit of being out of line, you will immediately be sprayed to pieces.

But now she has gotten used to it. After all, as long as she doesn't do bad things, who can point a gun at her?

Thinking and thinking, Miss Luo Quan saw the barrage suddenly brushing fast from the corner of her eye.

Looking closely, she found that the fans were all shouting for her to save Chinese movies.

It turned out that this year's Spring Festival file was really too lagging. Except for "Fengshen 2," there wasn't a single blockbuster that could be watched. They were almost all small-cost drama films, not even as good as the beginning of the century.

At that time, although poor, there were still many movies with big scenes, and they were all big scenes piled up with people and props, with quite enough weight.

And in recent years, it belongs to using special effects to top all big scenes. The key is that the special effects are also very poor, purely rough and shoddy.

But no matter how rough and shoddy, it is at least 4D. Watching it in the cinema will have some visual effects, and you can get addicted.

This year is good, there isn't a single cool movie like that anymore. They are all drama films, and you can't even see a big special effects scene. The average cost is basically controlled at around 100 million.

During the Spring Festival holiday, everyone's time and money are relatively abundant, but they are facing the awkward situation of having no blockbusters to watch, so fans are shouting that Chinese movies are going to be finished, asking Miss Luo Quan to come out and save everyone, and shoot some blockbusters.

This statement is definitely wrong. Chinese movies can't be finished no matter what. After all, there is such a big market, and no matter what movie is shot, there is no shortage of people to watch.

However, it is quite possible that good movies won't come out. After all, the quality of movies in recent years is indeed on a downward trend.

Of course, Miss Luo Quan herself still maintains a quite high standard, but her situation is different from others, so they can't be directly compared.

"Everyone doesn't need to be so pessimistic." Miss Luo Quan began to speak fair words at this time, "The economy is sluggish, and it is understandable that there are fewer special effects blockbusters."

"After all, this is not like action movies or comedy movies. As long as the actors are outstanding enough, they can be shot in a very short time."

"The production of special effects movies is a very big project, not to mention the later special effects, which are even bigger projects measured in years."

"The Wandering Earth is an example. After the first one exploded, it immediately announced that it would shoot the second one. In the case of completely lacking funds and manpower, didn't it also take several years to produce the second one?"

"So it is very unrealistic for everyone to want to see a high-quality special effects movie every few months."

Barrage:

"But didn't you do two in half a year?"

"I suspect Luo Bao is praising herself in disguise (dog head. jpg)"

"Others can't do it, but I can. Luo Bao has also started to do this set, right?"

"Classic credit-taking."

"Actually, what Miss Luo Quan said is quite reasonable. Special effects blockbusters indeed have a long production cycle. Small-cost movies can be shot in a month or two, but special effects blockbusters shot in half a year must be bad movies."

"So the 'Honghuang' series is so hanging, shot two in half a year, and the quality is so explosive."

"So everyone understands what Miss Luo Quan means, what are you still stunned for, praise!"

Heaven has pity, Miss Luo Quan really wanted to say a fair word for her peers this time, but was misinterpreted by the fans like this. For a while, she was also a bit crying and laughing: "Don't misinterpret my speech, I am purely a good person, but I was turned into a wolf by you. Isn't this still harming me?"

"Also, you can't compare me with other movie crews. I have a game company with thousands of people. They use the most advanced systems in the world, have the richest production experience, take the best salaries in the industry, and only work for me alone."

"As long as the production capacity explodes, making special effects is easy, right? So this piece can't be compared at all."

Originally, Miss Luo Quan thought she was objective and fair enough, but in the end, she was backstabbed by the fans, and her reputation was damaged.

"Understood, Miss Luo Quan is saying that these peers who shoot movies are simply not worthy of being compared with her."

"Luo Bao said that everyone who shoots movies, except her, is trash."

"Hahaha, directly booked for the hot search."

"To take out of context, excerpted from 'Don't Take Out of Context'."

"You guys are good at summarizing."

"Luo Bao was originally a peacemaker, but was turned into a big villain by you guys."

"Now Luo Bao's popularity in the industry is going to be even worse."

"I can only say you guys are really awesome." Miss Luo Quan directly raised her thumb, "You can find things for me to do even when there is nothing. If this is really edited and put on Weibo, who knows how big a rhythm it will bring."

"Alright, let's not talk about these during the New Year. Let's talk about other interesting news."

The barrage followed the trend:

"Indeed, let's talk about how to save the future Spring Festival Gala."

This is a life-threatening question. If answered poorly, the impact might be more serious than the previous question.

Miss Luo Quan frowned tightly after seeing this pinned paid barrage, not knowing how to answer. ===== CHAPTER 1353 =====
