Chapter 1386: Empresses in the Palace

"You mean Little Linzi?"

Wen Xia's tone sounded like she was quite familiar with Zhao Xilin, and she had no objections to Miss Luo Quan choosing him as the lead.

In fact, Zhao Xilin had contact with many female artists in Miss Luo Quan's company; they had almost all acted together, and some had even acted more than once.

Usually, having contact with so many female artists, there would more or less be some rumors.

"Harem is good; I like harems. Wait, is it a male harem or a female harem? Don't make that kind of drama with one female lead and a bunch of sissy male leads, okay."

【Browser prompt】

Just then, the manager in charge of rice noodle sales called her, crying and wailing—it was truly miserable; he probably had never encountered such a situation before.

"By the way, how many episodes are you planning to shoot, and when will you start?"

After arranging the system's work, Miss Luo Quan opened her laptop, preparing to announce this good news to the fans.

"I don't care about anything else; I just want to know what the theme of this TV series is?"

"I have a premonition that this TV series might not just be popular domestically; it has high hopes of going international."

As for who did this, please fans, believe me, I will definitely get to the bottom of it.

"The internet is not a place outside the law; you kid, be careful with your words."

But Miss Luo Quan watched the content exposed by this gala for a while and didn't find anything related to rice noodles; they were basically internet-famous products and a relatively well-known car brand.

"As long as it's not the main melody, I've been a bit tired of watching that lately."

"Exactly, I think any kind is acceptable, but please don't order Miss Luo Quan around!"

Additionally, there was one that could be considered a luxury item—a type of alcohol with a very expensive price.

After all, a movie is a one-off deal, and the screen time is longer than a movie.

Miss Luo Quan looked at this woman who was even lazier than herself, pouted, and didn't know what to say.

And the barrage was telling her to refresh again.

The barrage boiled over upon hearing this:

Miss Luo Quan clenched her fists, as if making a vow.

"One thing to say, indeed."

Spent so much money to support Yunjina's studies before; now is the time she needs to be put to use.

"Don't stir up opposition; the difference between male and female leads isn't that big. As long as it's shot well, I like it."

"Mi (Rice) is somewhat looking down on Luobao's taste, right? Would she go shoot this kind of stuff?"

The requirement is to show the brilliance of power struggles and intellectual battles in a love-filled harem drama, while simultaneously reflecting the alienation and persecution of people by the feudal system in the drama's theme, achieving the effect of satirizing imperial power.

Through two *Great Wilderness* movies, it has already been proven that Miss Luo Quan's works have an unparalleled effect on boosting people's popularity.

However, the barrage was basically concentrated in the first minute of the video; few could last over three minutes.

Looking further down, one could see quite a bit of news about the Consumer Gala.

"There's nothing about rice noodles here either; where did you guys see people scolding?"

"Rice noodles? Didn't my rice noodles just go on the shelves a few days ago? And why would they be scolded?"

There were a few internet-famous products that had been promoted by many top-tier livestreamers.

But Zhao Xilin didn't, and Wen Xia, who had more contact with him, was very certain that Zhao Xilin shouldn't have rumors with female stars; on the contrary, he might have some rumors with male artists.

"It's a new era of 'Lord Ye who loves dragons' (pretending to love something you actually fear)."

"You mean Zhao Xilin is gay?"

To be able to sell alcohol at this price, the energy behind it is probably not small.

Seeing that the male and female fans in the barrage were about to have a big fight, Miss Luo Quan quickly advised: "Everyone, don't bicker over such trivial matters. Since it's a harem drama, it's definitely one man and many women."

………………

"Rest assured, Luobao's works might invite 'little fresh meat' (effeminate idols), but she really hasn't invited sissies."

"Doesn't matter; whether he's gay or not doesn't affect us. His acting skills are enough to play an emperor who is naturally cold-blooded but occasionally does a good deed."

As a result, overnight, the number of returned orders skyrocketed, and no one was willing to promote it anymore.

"Luobao, big trouble! Your rice noodles seem to be getting scolded."

"That would be great; I'll just stop taking any announcements for the second half of the year and just live off this TV series."

Miss Luo Quan did as told, then was surprised to find that the news about the Consumer Gala was all gone, replaced by some unknown media, and they were heavily criticizing starch sausages and instant rice noodles.

Then, Miss Luo Quan said directly to the livestream camera: "Regarding the rice noodles, I solemnly guarantee to everyone here that the rice we use is definitely high-quality rice; there is no situation of it being moldy."

"First time on the battlefield after pregnancy; don't know what kind of world-shaking masterpiece can be shot this time."

Miss Luo Quan asked the barrage.

Wen Xia hadn't taken any announcements for the past few days; if *Empresses in the Palace* required a lot of content, she would have to push away those announcements noted in her memo.

So TV series became an easier-to-accept form of entertainment.

And compared to movies, TV series make it easier for an actor to explode in popularity.

………………

And this time, *In the Name of the People*, everyone gained fans; except for Chen Hai, whose screen time was really too little, everyone else's reviews gained at least 500,000 fans.

Even if it was just a male N-number who appeared in the movie for less than three minutes, Miss Luo Quan had a way to make them distinct and leave an extremely deep impression.

The matter was settled like this; Miss Luo Quan returned to the room and let the system adapt the scripts for *Empresses in the Palace* and *Ming Dynasty 1566*.

Miss Luo Quan really didn't know about this; having contact with Zhao Xilin before, she found this actor quite manly.

As for how to solve the problem after finding out, everyone just wait for the news; we are not those "great kind people" who don't fight back when hit."

Just like the previous *The Knockout*, it directly pushed Gao Qiqiang and his wife to the top tier, and the other villains who performed well also saw their fans skyrocket.

Saying these starch sausages were made of chicken bones, and the instant rice noodles used moldy rice—in short, it was very unhealthy.

It was just like an annual gala; the comment section was full of voices expressing gratitude and praise to her.

Now that Miss Luo Quan said she was going to personally helm a TV series, do you think these stars in the entertainment industry could not be envious?

Of course, these were not the most important topics in the livestream.

"Thinking too much; there are so many TV series in China, and those that can be popular internationally are few and far between. With so many entertainment activities now, counting on foreigners to watch Chinese costume dramas—just thinking about it feels unreliable."

Miss Luo Quan immediately sent a message to Yunjina, asking her to investigate who was buying internet trolls to divert public attention.

A bunch of handsome men and beautiful women—I don't believe this drama won't be popular."

【Garbled text】

"Wanting both this and that, huh? Host, you really don't make requests often; once you do, it's this kind of super high difficulty."

Two consecutive big-hit dramas, pushing out two top-tier stars, and several million-fan celebrities.

"Everyone is pretending to like 'yandere' (sickly sweet); if you really met a yandere, wouldn't you be scared to the point of peeing your pants?"

"Don't you know we are the 'King of Urgency'?"

Just opened Bilibili, and Miss Luo Quan saw that the clip of her livestream just now had already hit the trending list.

"At least."

"But I guarantee to the female fans that this TV series will definitely be very much to the girls' taste; it's a harem drama that both men and women can enjoy!"

If she didn't understand what was going on at the beginning, if she still didn't understand now, she, Miss Luo Quan, would have been mixed up in the internet for nothing for so many years.

Actually, she was wearing a coat and hot pants over her body, causing the swimsuit to be almost invisible.

"Heard she's coming personally this time?"

Originally, sales were quite good, and the heat was also good; many livestreamers were talking about cooperation with the company.

After opening the livestream, she changed the title to: New Drama About to Start, Casting Actors!

With the title changed like this, it wasn't just the fans who were interested; many stars in the industry all focused their attention, wanting to get a seat in Miss Luo Quan's new drama.

Once the two movies were finished, these male actors generally gained two or three million fans.

Forget it, anyway, the company isn't short of money; let it rot if it wants to rot. As long as Wen Xia's fans can accept it, she, the boss, has no opinion anyway.

"Aren't swimsuits for wearing on the beach? I'm back in the room, what am I wearing it for?"

"You guys aren't allowed to look; Luobao is mine, only I can look at the swimsuit."

"Luobao's swimsuit is the most beautiful I've ever seen; good things should be displayed more."

Originally chatting about the TV series quite well, suddenly a barrage came out, which startled Miss Luo Quan.

The current number one topic is: Why not wear a swimsuit in the room?

So far more people watch TV series than movies.

To be precise, this is a Qing palace drama, telling the story of the Yongzheng period.

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation—as long as there is a problem, it's possible to end up on this gala.

Miss Luo Quan clicked on Weibo full of questions, wanting to see what on earth happened.

The topic is very deceptive; those who don't know might think Miss Luo Quan isn't wearing clothes in the room.

Miss Luo Quan doesn't sell starch sausages, but rice noodles are a product she just put on the shelves.

"Female fans express they have been discriminated against; what's wrong with a female-lead harem? Shouldn't it exist?"

Wen Xia stretched her legs and happily chose to "lie flat" (give up).

The news didn't mention the specific brands of these two foods, leading netizens to directly launch an attack on these two foods.

The system always likes to complain, and this time was no exception.

The fans were very dissatisfied with this and directly questioned Miss Luo Quan.

Of course, the most critical point is that newly released movies must be seen in a movie theater. For many otaku and otome (homebodies) now, going out is like killing them, let alone going out specifically to watch a movie.

Regarding the quality issues mentioned by some internet trolls, those were deliberate smears, the purpose being to divert attention for those garbage products that ended up on the Consumer Gala.

"Indeed, let's have some ancient costumes."

Isn't it obvious that she was dragged out by others to block a bullet?

The barrage immediately accelerated:

"Good!!!"

The mastermind behind the scenes is mostly those brands mentioned by the Consumer Gala.

"Can do, Luobao, you dare to try this kind of theme too."

And this growth will continue for a long time, because *In the Name of the People* hasn't even finished half of the plot yet.

"I agree!"

Could it be that he became obsessed after playing Cheng Dieyi?

"Not clear; how would I dare to ask directly? But looking at him, it seems there is a little bit." Wen Xia's tone was full of uncertainty.

……………………

Seeing that fans finally got to the point, Miss Luo Quan clapped her hands and said: "Hehe, I knew everyone had seen enough modern dramas, so this time we are shooting ancient costumes, and it's a harem ancient costume TV series that everyone loves to see."

"More than just looking forward to it; Luobao's works are must-see masterpieces!"

"Damn, harem!"

"Although I don't really like Qing palace dramas, if it's shot by Miss Luo Quan, I can still look forward to it."

Miss Luo Quan said a relatively conservative number; the actual time might be even longer.

Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan had also seen big storms and waves, and repeatedly comforted this manager who had broken down, telling him to keep the factory running, and she would handle the rest.

"Yes, it was already mentioned when the broadcast started; she is shooting it personally this time, and will also play a role."

The hottest thing on the trending list is "Miss Luo Quan is so hot," the content being her livestream on the beach in Hawaii just now, and the comment section is full of netizens shouting "Foreign Bodhisattva" quotes.

However, complaining is complaining; under Miss Luo Quan's pressure, he could only obediently go to work.

Because it caught the east wind of the Consumer Gala, the click-through rate was very, very high.

Some things are destined to not be understood, and Miss Luo Quan didn't dwell on it.

If there were an online movie theater, Miss Luo Quan believes most people would still be willing to pay to watch the original version, but now people's initiative is generally weak, and they like to nest at home in their free time, too lazy to go out.

Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera, laughing and crying, and after a deep breath said: "The swimsuit photo set hasn't been officially shot yet; once it's shot, there will be plenty of material to look at. Why be in such a hurry?"

This happened last night; the Consumer Gala is held once a year, mainly to expose those brands with major quality problems.

"Haha, so many female fans were dug out; unfortunately, what you say doesn't count."

Miss Luo Quan doesn't know who did this, but she knows someone who can find out.

For them, who were originally just small transparents in the entertainment industry, this fan growth speed cannot be described as exaggerated; calling it a "heaven-sent giant wealth" is not an overstatement.

"Damn, you are also a yandere, right? When did you learn from that person in Tokyo to come and stab Luobao?"

Miss Luo Quan wondered, her video is quite long; does no one care about the content behind it?

Miss Luo Quan's expression was gritting her teeth when she said this.

She hadn't been this angry for a long time.

Hitching a ride on the Consumer Gala's heat, framing the guilt on innocent products—don't they know that doing this will bankrupt countless merchants and factories?

People who do this kind of thing are simply worse than animals!

Since you don't want me to have a good time, then I will pull you out by the roots!

If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think I'm a sick cat? If I don't take down the "Mi" (Rice), I'll write the two characters "Miss Luo Quan" backward! ===== CHAPTER 1387 =====
