Chapter 1365

"So, am I really going to be given the title of Holy Mother?"

After reading the relevant news, Miss Luo Quan giggled at the camera, which was very much in line with the mindset of a confused prankster.

And the fans were also quite surprised by this:

"Does this mean Luo Bao is going to become the mother of that group of believers?"

"Not a biological mother, but better than a biological mother."

"This isn't an ordinary title; Holy Mother, in a sense, has an even higher status than the Pope, almost equal to a god descending to Earth!"

"I always feel the title 'Holy Mother' doesn't sound very good; over here, it's almost like an insult."

"The 'Holy Mother Bitch' is the insult; a true Holy Mother sacrifices herself and is overly kind-hearted, so it's considered a good word."

"It's just that now 'Holy Mother' and 'Holy Mother Bitch' are basically the same word, so it doesn't sound as good."

"If she really becomes the Holy Mother, what kind of preferential treatment will Luo Bao get if she goes to Western countries?"

"Visa-free entry to countries that believe in the Holy See, free meals, 20% off shopping, etc.; these are very likely to happen."

"Awesome, she can directly do cross-border purchasing; wouldn't that make a lot of money?"

"Is there a possibility that the little money made from purchasing isn't even as much as the interest on Luo Bao's bank savings for one day?"

"Hahahaha..."

………………

Huaxia's believers are still very rare, and everyone has no respect for local religions, let alone foreign ones.

So the fans were basically just joking; occasionally, a few real believers would float by in the comments wanting everyone to be respectful, but all they got was group mockery.

In reality, the environment on the internet is just like this.

When Miss Luo Quan livestreams on the universal platform, not many people are truly that respectful to her either; they act quite frivolous, which is the same as domestically.

So even if the title of Holy Mother is really given to her, Miss Luo Quan doesn't think it will make these fans any more serious; it might even activate their hidden XP, and by then, the comments will probably be even more chaotic.

In short, the Pope has taken a group of bishops to study how to give the titles of Holy Mother and Holy Child, and there will be results soon; major Western media are also tracking and reporting on it.

As for domestically, the hottest topic discussed recently is also related to Miss Luo Quan.

To be precise, it's the hit drama she wrote the screenplay for — "In the Name of the People."

During the Spring Festival holiday, "The Knockout" ignited the entire winter TV drama market.

This phenomenal hit drama caused heated discussions across the entire internet, with related discussion counts exceeding 3 billion; it can definitely be called the hottest TV drama in the last five years.

Characters like Gao Qiang, the Big Sister-in-law, the crazy younger brother, the Dragon and Tiger brothers, the Mang Village father and son, including Xu Jiang who only appeared for a few episodes, all left an extremely deep impression on the audience.

TV dramas that can portray characters so brilliantly have been too rare in recent years.

"The Knockout" not only achieved this but could almost be said to have done it the best.

The only flaw was that the righteous characters were portrayed a bit too stereotypically, lacking character.

So this created a strange phenomenon: even though this TV drama was about the battle between good and evil, the villains representing evil ended up gaining countless fans, with discussions getting higher and higher, and countless content creators making clips for the villain group.

While the righteous ones were ignored, with no one making clips, and the discussion level was almost zero.

A trend appeared on the internet where everyone wanted to be Gao Qiang and everyone liked the members of the Qiangsheng Group, but no one liked An Xin.

Of course, if you pair An Xin and Gao Qiang as a couple, the discussion level of the two would be quite high.

To summarize, the righteous protagonist alone really doesn't have much popularity; he must be paired with the villain to be more popular.

Of course, Miss Luo Quan knew this result would happen when she brought out the script.

It's normal because human nature is like this.

An Xin's image is like a selfless, devoted Holy Mother, great but unrealistic; there are really too few such people in reality.

And characters like Gao Qiang are more grounded and make people happier.

The most critical point: who wouldn't want to become Gao Qiang or have such a relative?

Getting something for nothing and loving ease while hating work are human nature; if one could live a good life without sweating, I believe no one could refuse.

But such a life would inevitably be built on the basis of exploiting those below.

People only think about themselves being Gao Qiang's friends and relatives, being able to follow him to eat and drink well.

But no one thinks about being the one exploited, the one forced by these socialites to have their family broken and wife sold.

There's a good saying: the board only hurts when it hits your own butt.

However, Miss Luo Quan won't criticize this behavior.

Because the audience's love for the bad guys is mainly due to the oppression they suffer in real life.

Now that there happens to be a character like Gao Qiang who climbed up from the bottom, he is of course deeply loved by them.

If a righteous character as brilliant as him could be created, it might not be impossible to reverse the public opinion.

So Miss Luo Quan prepared "In the Name of the People."

In fact, this TV drama also has villain characters that are more eye-catching than the righteous ones, and by far.

Among them, the male lead Hou Liangping's family background, as well as his cold mockery of his old classmate Qi Tongwei's experiences, have never been liked by the audience.

So Miss Luo Quan made some modifications to the script, merging Hou Liangping with Yi Xuexi from the TV drama.

In the new version of "In the Name of the People," Hou Liangping is no longer so lucky; he wasn't assigned to work in the capital as soon as he graduated from school.

He also has no wife, and the only girl he liked was forced to separate due to family opposition, and he never looked for a girlfriend again.

His identity is just a small-to-medium official who was squeezed out for refusing to go along with the Handan Gang.

But after his good friend Chen Hai was seriously injured by a killer sent by Qi Tongwei, he received Chen Yanshi's recommendation, took over Chen Hai's position, and launched a counterattack against the Handan Gang.

During this period, Hou Liangping encountered countless temptations and threats, and even faced life-threatening danger several times due to accidents.

But he didn't waver; instead, he used a firmer will to carry out his good friend Chen Hai's life creed, which is to bring all evil to justice.

It sounds a bit funny, but Hou Liangping in the TV drama worked hard to realize these words from beginning to end; it can be said he tried his best.

Such a character, stubborn as a stone, strong as a stone, and simple as a stone, Miss Luo Quan believes will definitely attract praise and heated discussion.

There is no shortage of such characters in reality; it's just that no one promotes them.

Of course, "In the Name of the People" hasn't reached Hou Liangping's highlight moment yet.

After "The Knockout" ended, "In the Name of the People" didn't follow seamlessly but waited for a period of time to maximize the profit from the previous TV drama's popularity.

When summer started and the weather became hot, this TV drama, which was hotter than the sun, was finally released.

In fact, as early as a few months ago when "The Knockout" was still airing, the audience had already started looking forward to this TV drama.

At that time, Miss Luo Quan told everyone that this TV drama would be even more exciting than "The Knockout," which truly whetted everyone's appetite.

The trailers released one after another over the past few months made people feel itchy inside, unable to wait to see the actual show.

And after the premiere of "In the Name of the People," it didn't disappoint netizens; just these two episodes contributed N famous scenes and hot memes.

"Look, you're anxious again," "I don't dare to spend a penny, I'm scared of being poor," "Who hid this money in my fridge," etc...

Besides that, Teacher Hou Yong, who played the role of Zhao Dehan, used his incredibly explosive acting skills to gain a lot of praise on Weibo's hot search list.

And the subsequent plot was high-energy throughout, with no boring parts; Li Dakang, Gao Yuliang, Qi Tongwei, one character after another appeared in turn, using exquisite acting skills and thought-provoking lines to present one wonderful performance after another with incredibly huge amounts of information.

In just four episodes, the audience already believed that this movie could be locked in as the best of the year.

That's right, that's how confident they are.

And if the plot quality keeps up like this, it might even become the best work of the last decade.

Of course, many viewers also felt regret, saying it's a pity this TV drama wasn't filmed by Miss Luo Quan herself.

If she had filmed it herself, the artistic component of the TV drama could have become higher, and it might have become a classic work like "Infernal Affairs."

Although the director of "In the Name of the People" is also very capable and has guided many classic series, in the eyes of netizens, there is still a significant gap compared to a genius like Miss Luo Quan.

The old director is experienced and won't make mistakes, but for the sake of stability, there will be fewer flashes of brilliance.

And these are not rare in Miss Luo Quan's works; one can often see compositions that can be called classic paintings inadvertently.

Some works only need one such scene to be remembered in film history.

And Miss Luo Quan can achieve mass production; how strong this skill and inspiration is, no longer needs to be described.

Precisely because of this, many fans ran to Miss Luo Quan's livestream to express their regrets, and even asked if a movie version could be released for her to personally direct.

After seeing these comments, Miss Luo Quan immediately replied: "Those who say that so-and-so director's filming isn't as good as mine, please don't say that again in the future."

"Although I didn't participate in the filming of 'In the Name of the People' from beginning to end, I did guide some important scenes."

"And I also watched the final cut; it's not much different from the 'In the Name of the People' I imagined, and even if I did it myself, it wouldn't be better."

"So, everyone shouldn't say things like 'if I did it, it would definitely be better' in the future; this is a great disrespect to the current creators."

Miss Luo Quan paused, took a sip of water, and continued looking at the camera: "If you like 'In the Name of the People,' it means this TV drama successfully moved you, and it further proves the director filmed it well, so those shouting to change to me to film it are simply unreasonable."

"Also, this movie has almost no possibility of being adapted into a movie because the plot is too long; even if it's filmed as a series, the plot cannot be segmented, and it's more satisfying to watch the TV drama continuously."

Once these words were spoken, it immediately caused fans to take advantage of the topic:

"You also know that watching TV dramas should be continuous, so why does 'In the Name of the People' only update two episodes every three days?"

"This is already not bad; before, 'The Knockout' only updated three episodes a week, and it took more than a month to finish airing; chasing the drama made me so anxious."

"Looking at it this way, the updates for 'In the Name of the People' are okay, almost equivalent to one episode a day."

"It's to make money and drive traffic for Bilibili; if all the content was released in one go, netizens would just open a one-month membership, watch it, and leave; then what about the popularity?"

"Indeed, the current TV dramas all pay attention to playing the long game, wanting to air for as long as possible."

"One has to admit, Bilibili is really getting easier and easier to use, and the film and television resources are really so many; I'm almost unable to watch them all."

"Just watching 'In the Name of the People,' this is the only drama I've chased online; the content is truly too fascinating."

"It's all about the survival rules in officialdom, which are also very suitable for the workplace; it's worth learning for everyone."

"Just treat it as learning a foreign language."

……………………

As the comments said, Bilibili is now thriving.

Buying film and television resources crazily was Miss Luo Quan's first step in driving traffic.

But what truly played a decisive role was the hit airing of "The Knockout" during the Spring Festival.

This TV drama was so popular at the time that almost everyone could see someone recommending it in their WeChat Moments.

Under the wave, there will always be people following the crowd, and then more and more people will watch it.

And Bilibili, as the exclusive online copyright holder, absorbed countless new users thanks to "The Knockout."

Making money and such are secondary; a huge customer base is the key to a website's survival.

Even if these people are freeloaders, it doesn't matter; as long as the number of people is large enough, it can attract a large number of advertisers to come and discuss cooperation.

By then, just collecting advertising fees can actually make money.

When the time is ripe, and then cultivate a few streamers to bring goods, won't the cash flow come up immediately?

Douyin is already invincible in short videos, and Bilibili cannot compete with it.

But turning to long videos, Bilibili also has advantages that almost no one can compare with.

This time, "In the Name of the People" is the opportunity for Bilibili to completely break out of the circle.

This TV drama is already a masterpiece destined to break out of the circle; in the near future, countless hot memes and clips related to it will appear on the internet.

When uninformed netizens ask which TV drama this is from and where to watch it.

Their answer will be: This is "In the Name of the People," watch it on Bilibili.

Ten years ago, saying the name of this website was still a bit embarrassing; as for now, people will only think it's trendy, and default to it being the video website with the youngest users and the most complete resources in the country.

And the current hit dramas must also be watched on Bilibili.

Operating like this, Bilibili becoming the YouTube of Huaxia can be said to be just around the corner.
