Chapter 1375: Conscientious Product

"By the way, you all should have received the instant rice noodles I sent out last time. How do you find the taste?"

Miss Luo Quan recalled that it had been a while since she sent the instant rice noodles to her fans, so she hurriedly asked about their user experience.

"The rice noodles are already finished, and I'm now two months pregnant."

"Ah, did you eat rice noodles or paraquat?"

"The rice noodles were delicious. My mom said she wants to eat them again in her next life."

"Are you all writing 'netherworld' reviews here?"

"Speaking of which, is there any serious feedback? Are these rice noodles actually good or not?"

"I was lucky enough to draw five bags. Let me put it this way: these five bags were supposed to be two days' worth, but I devoured them all in one sitting. Now, if I don't eat them for a day, it feels like ants are crawling all over my body."

"Are they really that good?"

"They are indeed delicious. The best ones are the tomato pork rib and the sour radish old duck soup. They're so fresh I could almost swallow my own tongue!"

"The key is that the texture of the rice noodles is also quite good; the ingredients are definitely not that low-quality rice."

"By the way, how much is a bag of these rice noodles? As long as it's not too expensive, I plan to eat this for lunch from now on."

……………………

Excluding those prank reviews, the fans who actually ate the rice noodles gave unanimous praise.

For an instant rice noodle product to receive such consistent feedback, it shows that the product quality is truly solid.

"The pricing for the rice noodles is 2.5 yuan per bag. If you buy a whole case, there will be a discount, which is 48 yuan for a case of twenty-four bags. As for the bucket version, it's 5 yuan per bucket.

Compared to instant noodles, it's definitely a bit more expensive, but as the fans who have already eaten them said, the taste and ingredients of these rice noodles are excellent. I also believe that after buying them, you definitely won't feel like you've lost out."

Miss Luo Quan said this, and the live chat didn't voice any opposition to this price.

"This price is acceptable; it's about what I imagined the retail price would be."

"Not bad at all. The quality is definitely worth the price; I even feel like it's sold too cheaply."

"By the way, when will they go on sale? I can't wait to eat these rice noodles."

"Springwater Brand rice noodles, letting you enjoy the silkiness of spring water."

"You kid, why does it feel like there's a hidden meaning in your words?"

"Normal. This is just rice noodles. When the Springwater Brand milk powder came out before, that was what you'd call a 'dance of demons'."

"By the way, does Ningning eat this milk powder now?"

"Do you think Luo Bao is the kind of person who needs to use milk powder?"

"Indeed."

………………

The fans' conversation nearly made Miss Luo Quan laugh out of anger. This group of people really had the guts to talk about anything; were they not afraid of being banned?

They were indeed not afraid, because Miss Luo Quan wouldn't go so far as to lift the ban for such a small matter.

After all, the live chat had always been like this. If she didn't like seeing these things, she would have banned them long ago and wouldn't have kept them until now.

Anyone with a personality that couldn't take a joke should have been blocked from the very first day they were teased. That way, no one would dare to joke with her, and the comment section would turn into nothing but female fans shouting, "Wife is so beautiful, Wife is so cool."

Or various fan-circle quotes.

Miss Luo Quan didn't like that kind of atmosphere, so she preferred the fans in the live chat to be more lively.

Closing the live stream, Miss Luo Quan booked two plane tickets to Japan and then informed her family of her itinerary.

"Why did you only book one for yourself when going to Japan? Let's all go together!"

Wen Xia knew that Miss Luo Quan was going to shoot swimwear photos. She had always been the most proactive about this, and upon hearing that Miss Luo Quan only booked two tickets, she immediately got anxious.

"The swimwear shoot isn't in Japan." Miss Luo Quan shook her head. "I thought about it; that place in Japan isn't really suitable for getting into the water right now. I might be fine, but Ningning and you all—who knows if something might go wrong?"

"So, it's better to go to Xia Weiyi. The scenery is good there, and there's plenty of good food and fun things to do."

"Then why are you still going to Japan?" Wen Xia was completely baffled.

"To find Chunzi." Miss Luo Quan put down her phone and said, "She's been in Japan for over half a month, and there hasn't been a single word from her. She doesn't reply to messages either. If I hadn't confirmed with her grandfather that she's been staying at home, I would have thought she had encountered some danger."

"So you're planning to go over and find Chunzi directly." Wen Xia understood, then patted her chest and said, "Do you need help? We can all go together."

Miss Luo Quan smiled and shook her head: "I'm enough on my own. While finding Chunzi, I'll also visit a few old friends. I'll probably stay for about a week."

"These few days, you can pack your luggage and ask everyone in the company who doesn't want to go swimming in Xia Weiyi."

"By then, you all can fly from the country, and Chunzi and I will fly from Tokyo."

"Alright then, but since you're taking the child over alone, you must be careful about safety."

When Wen Xia said this, she felt she was being overly worried.

There was simply no one on Earth who could threaten Miss Luo Quan; her saying this was truly a bit redundant.

"Let's leave it at that. I'll take good care of myself. Although the situation in the Japanese sea isn't great, I don't eat seafood anyway."

Miss Luo Quan said with a chuckle, then told Wen Xia to set her mind at ease.

Soon, her parents also learned the news that she was going to take her daughter to Japan single-handedly.

Although they were still very worried, considering their daughter's unparalleled combat power, everyone didn't say much more.

There was no need to worry about Luo Ning either. Don't look at how small she was; according to her mother, there weren't many people in the house who were her match if a real fight broke out.

With such a mother-daughter pair whose combat power was off the charts, there was no need to worry about them wherever they went.

Later that evening, the fans also learned from the update Miss Luo Quan posted that she had changed her mind at the last minute.

Everyone applauded this decision:

"I was a bit worried when I heard Luo Bao was going to Japan to shoot swimwear, fearing she'd be targeted because of it. Now it seems she thought of that point."

"Actually, I don't think it was necessary to change the destination; it makes her look guilty instead."

"What's there to be guilty about? It was only said that she should go to Japan, not that she definitely had to."

"Don't you find it strange? Miss Luo Quan has always had excellent awareness regarding such pitfalls, and she hasn't been to Japan in a long time. Why would she suddenly mention going to Japan, and even ambiguously mention the ocean?"

"There is only one truth: Miss Luo Quan mentioned this on purpose, just to make sure everyone doesn't forget."

"The internet has a memory, especially with someone like Luo Bao helping everyone recall. I believe this change in itinerary will definitely bring the issue of nuclear wastewater discharge into the sea up again."

"There's already relevant news on Twitter, and everyone is discussing whether Luo Bao changed her itinerary because she's afraid of being contaminated."

"It wasn't even trending anymore, and now it's good—it's going to be scolded for a long time again. (Doghead. jpg)"

"Well done. As expected of you, Luo Bao."

"Wait half a year until it's not trending, then do it again. We must make the whole world remember what those bastards look like!"

………………

Facing the fans' "over-interpretation," Miss Luo Quan wore a smile, but she still specifically posted another Weibo: "Please, fans and netizens, do not over-interpret. My changing the itinerary is simply because I feel Xia Weiyi is more suitable for shooting swimwear."

"Besides, I'm still going to Japan. I plan to find Chunzi and meet some old friends."

It would have been better if she hadn't explained; the explanation made it look like "there is no silver buried here" (a classic idiom meaning the explanation reveals the truth).

"Is Xia Weiyi more suitable because Xia Weiyi isn't discharging nuclear wastewater?"

"You didn't need to explain it specifically; it makes it look like you did it on purpose."

"Luo Bao: Whether I did it on purpose or not, you can figure it out yourselves. As long as it keeps the heat on this matter, that's enough."

"I suggest everyone share and comment more, keep whipping the corpse!"

"By comparison, what I'm concerned about is Chunzi. Why does Luo Bao have to go to Japan to find her personally? Could it be that she's encountered some trouble?"

"What trouble could there be? Chunzi's grandfather is one of the Sword Saints of Japan; her social status is very high, okay?"

"And Chunzi herself is a big star."

"Fun fact: Chunzi should be the second-best fighter in Luo Bao's company. I've seen her swordsmanship; it's not just 'usually' powerful."

"Rest assured, it's nothing major. We should see Luo Bao and her 'Crystal Palace' appear in Xia Weiyi very soon."

"It's Xia Weiyi again. I remember it seems like it was Xia Weiyi last time."

"The location isn't what's important; the people are. Isn't the ocean just water everywhere?"

"That's true."

……………………

The netizens clearly didn't take Miss Luo Quan going to find Chunzi seriously, and none of them felt there would be any problems.

Miss Luo Quan herself felt the same way.

So, before departing, she sent a message to Chunzi: "I've arrived in Tokyo. My flight is at twelve noon tomorrow. Can you come pick me up?"

This time, Chunzi didn't pretend not to see it and finally replied with "I await your arrival," followed by a funny emoji.

Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but chuckle when she saw it.

To prevent her daughter from getting hungry on the plane, Miss Luo Quan fed Ningning until her belly was round and full before they left, and only after coaxing her to sleep did she go through the security checkpoint accompanied by her family.

Because she didn't plan on staying in Tokyo for long, Miss Luo Quan only carried a backpack, which contained a few changes of clothes; she didn't even bring a second pair of shoes.

Of course, she was now in the Immaculate Immortal Body, a genuine immortal constitution; the sweat she produced had no odor, so it didn't really make much difference whether she changed her shoes or not.

However, this kind of thing certainly couldn't be publicized with great fanfare, or else others would definitely think you were crazy.

The distance from Shanghai to Tokyo wasn't far; Miss Luo Quan took a nap on the plane and watched half a movie before they arrived.

The movie she watched on the plane was the runner-up in the box office for this year's Spring Festival, "Rolling Fire," also known as "Three Thousand Monthly Salary Gym Weight Loss."

Just hearing the name made it sound quite sci-fi, and the plot was even more sci-fi than imagined.

Just in the opening part, a woman lies at home for ten years for no reason, not working, not communicating, and focusing on living off her parents.

In her relationship with her boyfriend, she doesn't fulfill any of the duties a girlfriend should have, and her temper keeps getting stranger.

Such a character was actually promoted as a model of female independence.

Miss Luo Quan frowned the whole time she watched it, not understanding why such a character setting was used.

Later, she looked it up and found out that the plot was a remake from abroad, and there had been some localized changes.

Whether the changes were good or not was no longer important; at its root, it was an imported product.

The key was that this wasn't the first time the director of "Rolling Fire" had done this; she had directed a total of two movies, and both were remakes.

What's bizarre is that both movies performed very well; one was the box office champion two years ago, and the other was the runner-up for this year's Spring Festival.

This situation of bad money driving out good provided an idea for countless domestic film creators.

That is, to find a good script abroad, adapt it for the domestic market, spend a little money to buy the rights, and then remake it.

Before the release, spend a lot of money on comprehensive, all-around marketing, preferably linking it to social hot topics.

Gender conflict is the current version's answer; as long as you link to it, the heat won't be low, and with heat, the box office is guaranteed.

Following this formula to make movies, Miss Luo Quan felt it was hard to lose money even if you wanted to.

She only hoped that the success of these two movies wouldn't become the fuse for the opening of a great era of domestic remakes.

The main thing is that the cost of doing this is really too low, and the returns are ridiculously high; any qualified businessman would find it hard to refuse such a movie formula.

Although there were criticisms online, Miss Luo Quan felt they weren't strong enough.

Because there was still over three billion in box office revenue supporting this model.

If a movie ticket is calculated at 100 yuan, three billion is a full thirty million people.

Of course, the actual number of people certainly isn't that exaggerated, but even if calculated on the low side, that's still several million people supporting such a movie.

And this order of magnitude is already enough to guide the trend of the market.

Just wait, after the success of "Rolling Fire," there will definitely be more localized remake movies; Miss Luo Quan could already imagine what that "prosperous age" would look like.

However, it's useless for industry insiders to be anxious, because movie fans don't seem to have much of an opinion on this phenomenon.

Whether it's a remake or not doesn't matter at all; even if they know, they just say "Oh," and then go into the theater for a bit of fun.

Not everyone has such high artistic pursuits; some people watch movies just to seek relaxation or spiritual solace.

They don't care about genuine or pirated versions, as long as it's good.

If the condition of being good can't be met, they just need to have this experience so they can share their thoughts on social media to prove they are part of the crowd and can keep up with the rhythm of this society.

In layman's terms, it's following the trend.

Miss Luo Quan doesn't judge whether this way of thinking is good or bad, because everyone has their own way of living.

But if everyone just wants to have fun, when the quality of movies drops in the future, don't complain about why you can't see good films.

Why? Because good films have all been squeezed out by bad ones.

Miss Luo Quan didn't finish the movie in the end, not because it was too bad to watch, but because the plane had reached its destination.

Putting on her sunglasses and holding her daughter in her arms, Miss Luo Quan followed the crowd into the airport terminal.

There were too many people around, and Miss Luo Quan really couldn't find Chunzi, so she immediately called her.
