Chapter 1410: Conscience Product

"By the way, did everyone receive the instant noodles I sent last time? How do they taste?"

Luo Quan remembered sending instant noodles to fans a while ago and quickly asked about the user experience.

"I've finished all the noodles, and I'm already two months old now."

"Ah, did you eat the noodles or rat poison?"

"The noodles are delicious; my mom says she wants to eat them again in her next life."

"You're all just writing netherworld reviews here, huh?"

"By the way, is there any serious feedback? Are these noodles actually good or not?"

"I got lucky and drew five bags; let me tell you, these five bags are a two-day supply—I devoured them all in one sitting. Now, if I don't eat for a day, I feel like ants are crawling all over me."

"Are they really that delicious?"

"Indeed they are; the best are the tomato spare ribs and sour radish old duck soup—so fresh I almost want to swallow my own tongue!"

"The noodle texture is also great, and the ingredients are definitely not low-quality rice."

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

……………………

After removing the jokey reviews, the fans who actually ate the noodles unanimously gave positive feedback.

A single instant noodle product receiving such consistent praise proves the product quality is indeed solid.

"The noodles are priced at two yuan fifty per bag; if you buy a box, there's a discount—forty-eight yuan for a box of twenty-four bags. As for the bucket version, one bucket costs five yuan."

"Compared to instant noodles, it's definitely a bit more expensive, but as fans who've already tried it said, the taste and ingredients are both excellent, and I believe everyone will feel they got their money's worth after buying it."

Luo Quan said this, and the barrage didn't oppose the price.

"This price is fine—it's about what I imagined."

"Not bad; the quality absolutely matches the price—I even feel it's sold too cheaply."

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

"Quan Shui brand noodles—let you enjoy silk-smoothness like spring water."

"You little brat, why do I feel there's something hidden in your words?"

"Normal; this is just noodles. When Quan Shui brand milk powder came out, that was when all hell broke loose."

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

"Do you think Luo Bao needs milk powder?"

"Indeed."

………………

The fans' discussion nearly made Luo Quan laugh with anger—these people really have the guts to talk about anything, aren't they afraid of getting banned?

Indeed not, because Luo Quan wouldn't open the ban over such a small matter.

After all, the barrage in the live stream has always been like this; if she disliked seeing these, she would have opened the ban long ago, not kept it until now.

If it were someone who couldn't take a joke, they would have blacklisted the teaser from the first day of being mocked, so no one would dare joke with her, and the comment section would be full of female fans shouting, 'Wifey, you're beautiful! Wifey, you're cool!'

Or it would just be various fan-circle quotes.

Luo Quan doesn't like that atmosphere, so she'd rather have the fans in the barrage be more lively.

After ending the live stream, Luo Quan booked two tickets to Japan and then told her family about her decision.

"Why did you book just one ticket to Japan? Everyone should go together!"

Wen Xia knew Luo Quan was going to shoot a swimsuit scene, and she had always been very proactive about this. When she heard Luo Quan only booked two tickets, she immediately got anxious.

"Swimsuit shooting isn't in Japan." Luo Quan shook her head. "I thought about it—Japan's waters aren't really suitable for swimming now. I might be fine, but Lemlem and you guys—who knows what could happen?"

"So let's go to Hawaii instead—great scenery, lots of good food and fun things to do."

"Then why are you still going to Japan?" Wen Xia wondered, baffled.

"To find Chunzi." Luo Quan put down her phone and said: "She's been in Japan for over half a month with no news at all—she doesn't reply to messages. If I hadn't confirmed with her grandfather that she's been staying home, I'd think she encountered some danger."

"So you're planning to go directly to Japan to find Chunzi." Wen Xia understood, then patted her chest and said: "Need help? We can go together."

Luo Quan smiled and shook her head: "I'm enough on my own. While looking for Chunzi, I'll also visit a few old friends—I might stay around a week."

"These few days, you can pack your luggage, then ask everyone at the company if anyone doesn't want to go to Hawaii to swim."

"By then, you'll fly from within China, and I'll fly with Chunzi from Tokyo."

"Alright then, but you're bringing a child to Japan alone—you need to be extra careful about safety."

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

On Earth, there's simply no one who could threaten Luo Quan—she bringing this up is really unnecessary.

"That's settled—I'll take good care of myself. Although the sea conditions in Japan aren't great, I don't eat seafood anyway."

Luo Quan said this with a chuckle, then let Wen Xia relax.

Soon, her parents also learned she was taking her daughter alone to Japan.

Although they were still worried, considering her daughter's unmatched combat power, they didn't say much more.

Luo Lem doesn't need to worry either—although she's this small, according to her mother's words, if they really fought, few people in the house would be her match.

With this mother-daughter duo whose combat power is off the charts, no matter where they go, they don't need to worry about themselves.

Later, fans also learned from Luo Quan's post that she had changed her mind temporarily.

Regarding this decision, everyone clapped and praised:

"When I first heard Luo Bao was going to Japan to shoot a swimsuit scene, I was a bit worried—afraid she'd be led astray by this. Now it seems she's considered this point."

"Actually, I think it's unnecessary to change the destination—this makes her look guilty."

"What's there to feel guilty about? Before, we only said she should go to Japan, never that she must go."

"Don't you find it strange? Luo Quan has always been excellent at avoiding risks in this regard, hasn't been to Japan in a long time—why would she suddenly bring up going to Japan, and even vaguely mention the ocean?"

"There is only one truth: Luo Quan deliberately brought this up because she wants everyone not to forget."

"The internet has a memory, especially with Luo Bao around constantly helping everyone recall; I believe the change formed this time will definitely bring the nuclear wastewater discharge back into discussion."

"There's already related news on Twitter; everyone is discussing whether Luo Bao changed her itinerary because she's afraid of contamination."

"Originally there was no heat at all; now it's good, it's going to be scolded for a long time again. (doge. jpg)"

"Well done, worthy of you, Luo Bao."

"Wait half a year until the heat dies down, then do this once more; we must make the whole world remember what kind of shameless faces those bastards have!"

………………

Facing the fans' "excessive" interpretation, Luo Quan wore a smile on her face, but still specially posted another Weibo: "Please, fans and netizens, do not over-interpret; I changed my itinerary simply because I purely feel Hawaii is more suitable for shooting swimwear."

"And I'm still going to Japan; I plan to go find Junzi and see some old friends."

Not explaining would have been fine; once she explained, it directly became 'three hundred taels of silver buried here':

"Hawaii is more suitable — is it because Hawaii hasn't discharged nuclear wastewater?"

"You really didn't need to specially explain once; doing so instead makes it look like you said it on purpose."

"Luo Bao: Whether I did it on purpose, you guys go eat yourselves; anyway, as long as it keeps the heat on this matter from dropping, it's fine."

"Suggest everyone repost and comment more, continue whipping the corpse!"

"Comparatively speaking, what I and you care about is Junzi; why does Luo Bao have to personally go to Japan to find her? Could it be she ran into some trouble?"

"What trouble could there be? Junzi's grandfather is one of Japan's Sword Saints, his social status is very high, okay."

"And Junzi herself is a big star too."

"Cold knowledge: Junzi should be the second most capable fighter in Luo Bao's company; I've seen her swordsmanship, it's not ordinarily formidable."

"Rest assured, it's nothing major; we should be able to see Luo Bao and her Crystal Palace appear in Hawaii soon."

"Hawaii again; I remember last time it seemed to be Hawaii too."

"The important thing isn't the location, it's the person; aren't all oceans water?"

"Indeed."

……………………

Netizens obviously didn't take Luo Quan going to find Junzi seriously; none of them felt there would be any problem.

Luo Quan herself thought so too.

So before departure she sent Junzi a message: "I've arrived in Tokyo; tomorrow's flight is at twelve noon, can you come pick me up?"

This time Junzi didn't pretend not to see it again, finally replied with 'awaiting your grand arrival', followed by a funny expression.

Luo Quan couldn't help but find it a bit funny after seeing it.

To avoid her daughter getting hungry on the plane, Luo Quan fed Ningning until her belly was round and bulging before departure, coaxed her to sleep, and only then passed security accompanied by the whole family.

Because she didn't plan to stay long in Tokyo, Luo Quan only carried a backpack, containing a few changes of clothes, not even a second pair of shoes.

Of course, she now possesses an Immaculate Immortal Body, a proper fairy constitution; the sweat she produces has no odor, so changing shoes or not doesn't make much difference.

But this kind of thing definitely cannot be publicized with great fanfare; otherwise people would definitely think you have a mental problem.

The distance from Shanghai to Tokyo is not far; Luo Quan dozed off on the plane and watched half a movie before arriving.

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

Just hearing the title makes it feel quite sci-fi; the plot is even more sci-fi than imagined.

Just the opening part: a woman lies at home for ten years for no reason, doesn't work, doesn't communicate, specializes in living off her parents.

Dating her boyfriend she also doesn't fulfill any of the duties a girlfriend should have, and her temper gets weirder and weirder.

Such a character is actually promoted as a model of female independence and autonomy.

Luo Quan frowned watching it anyway, not understanding why such a character design was used.

Later checking, she found out the plot was actually remade from a foreign film, and had undergone some localization changes.

Whether the changes were good or not doesn't matter anymore; at the root it belongs to an imported product.

The key is this isn't the first time the director of "Rolling Fire" has done this; she's shot two films total, both are remakes.

The irony is both films performed very well; one was the box office champion two years ago, one is this year's Spring Festival runner-up.

This situation of bad money driving out good has provided a train of thought for countless domestic film creators.

That is to find a good script abroad, sinicize it, spend a little money to buy the rights, then remake it.

Before release, spend big money on all-round, no-dead-angle marketing; best if it can hook onto social hot topics.

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

Filming movies according to this formula, Luo Quan feels it would be hard to lose money even if you tried.

Just hope the success of these two films won't become the fuse that ignites a great era of domestic remakes.

Mainly because doing it this way the cost is really too low, the returns are high to an outrageous degree; any qualified businessman would find it hard to refuse such a movie formula.

Although there's scolding online too, Luo Quan feels it's still not intense enough.

Because there's still over three billion yuan in box office backing this model.

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

Of course the actual number definitely isn't this exaggerated, but even calculating conservatively that's still several million people supporting such films.

And this order of magnitude is already enough to guide the market's wind direction.

Wait and see; after "Rolling Fire" succeeds, more sinicized remake films will definitely appear; Luo Quan can already imagine what that kind of "prosperous age" will look like.

But industry insiders being anxious is useless; because movie fans seem to have no great objection to this phenomenon.

Remake or not, they fundamentally don't care; even if they know, they'll just go 'oh', then enter the cinema for a laugh.

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

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

If they can't meet the condition of being good-looking, they just want to have such an experience, so they can share their insights on social media to prove they fit in and can keep up with society's pace.

Simply put, it's just following the trend.

As for this idea, Luo Quan doesn't judge it as good or bad, because everyone has their own way of life.

But if everyone is just doing it for fun, and later the quality of movies declines, there's no need to complain about not being able to find good films.

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

Luo Quan ultimately didn't finish watching the movie, not because it was too bad to watch, but because the plane had already arrived at the flight.

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

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