Chapter 1421: The Legend of Zhen Huan

"You mean Xiao 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 male lead.

In fact, Zhao Xilin had worked with quite a few of the female artists at Miss Luo Quan's company, almost all of them had filmed together, and some had even filmed together more than once.

Usually, having contact with this many female artists would more or less give rise to some scandals.

"A harem is great, I love harems, wait, is it a male harem or a female harem? Don't give me that kind of show with one female lead and a whole bunch of effeminate male leads."

Right at this moment, the manager in charge of rice noodle sales called her, crying a flood of tears and snot, the crying incomparably miserable; she had probably never encountered this kind of situation before.

"By the way, how many episodes do you plan to shoot for this drama, and when do we start?"

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

"I don't care about anything else, I just want to know what theme this TV drama is?"

"I have a premonition that this TV drama will likely not only be popular domestically, but has a good chance of going international."

As for who exactly did this, please trust me, fans, I will definitely investigate until the truth comes to light.

"The internet is not a lawless zone, watch your words and actions, kid."

But Miss Luo Quan looked at the content exposed by this gala for a while and didn't find anything related to rice noodles; it was basically all internet celebrity products, plus a relatively well-known car brand.

"As long as it's not main melody propaganda, I've gotten a bit tired of those lately."

"Exactly, I feel either is acceptable, but please don't boss Miss Luo Quan around!"

There was also a luxury item, a top-tier wine with an extremely expensive price.

After all, a movie is a one-shot deal, and the screen time is also shorter than a TV drama.

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

And the bullet comments were telling her to refresh again.

Hearing this, the bullet comments immediately boiled over:

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

"To be fair, that's true."

Having spent so much money sending Jin Na to school before, now was precisely the time she needed to be put to use.

"Don't stir up opposition, there's not much difference between male and female leads, as long as it's filmed well I'll like it."

"Mi is looking down on Lao Bao's taste a bit, would she go film this kind of thing?"

The requirement was to show the brilliance of power struggles and intellectual battles within a romance-filled harem drama, while the theme of the TV drama should reflect the alienation and persecution of people under the feudal system, achieving a satirical effect on imperial power.

Through the two "Hong Huang" works, it has already been proven that Quan's work possesses an unparalleled ability to boost actors to stardom.

However, the bullet comments were basically concentrated in the first minute of the video, with few able to last past three minutes.

Scrolling down, one could see quite a few news items about the consumer gala.

"There's nothing about rice noodles here either, where did you see someone cursing about it?"

"Rice noodles? My rice noodles were only put on the shelf a few days ago, and why would they be cursed at?"

A few were internet celebrity products that had been promoted by many top-tier livestream sellers.

But Zhao Xilin didn't, and Wen Xia, who had quite a lot of contact with him, was very certain that Zhao Xilin probably wouldn't have scandals with female stars; on the contrary, there might be some rumors with male artists.

"This is the new era's Lord Ye loving dragons."

"You mean Zhao Xilin is gay?"

Being able to sell wine at this price, the backing behind it is probably not small.

Seeing the male and female fans in the bullet comments trending toward a big fight, Miss Luo Quan hurriedly persuaded them: "Everyone, don't snipe at each other over such trivial matters; since it's a harem drama, it's definitely one man and many women."

………………

"Rest assured, Lao Bao's works might hire fresh meat, but she really hasn't hired any effeminate men."

"Doesn't matter, gay or not doesn't affect us, his acting skills playing an inherently cold-natured emperor who occasionally shows a bit of kindness are still enough."

As a result, after one night, the number of returned orders skyrocketed, and no one was willing to do livestream promotions anymore.

"Lao Bao, big trouble, your rice noodles seem to have been slammed."

"That's great then, I'm not taking any other gigs for the second half of the year, just counting on this TV drama to make a living."

Miss Luo Quan did as told, and then surprisingly discovered the consumer gala news was all gone, replaced by some inexplicable media outlets, which then heavily attacked starch sausages and Immortal Sushi rice noodles.

Then, Miss Luo Quan spoke directly to the livestream camera: "Regarding the rice noodle matter, I solemnly guarantee to everyone here that the rice we use for fermentation is absolutely high-quality rice, there is no moldy situation."

"First time on set after getting pregnant, wonder what kind of stunning masterpiece will be filmed this time."

Miss Luo Quan asked the bullet comments.

Wen Xia hadn't taken any gigs these past few days; if "Zhen Huan Zhuan" requires a lot of filming content, then she can only push back those few gigs noted in her memo.

So TV dramas became a more acceptable form of entertainment.

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

………………

And this time "In the Name of the People" was even more of an all-round fan-gainer; except for Chen Hai who had too little screen time, everyone else gained at least 500,000 followers.

Even male supporting roles with less than three minutes of screen time in a movie, Miss Luo Quan has a way to film them with distinct personalities, leaving an extremely deep impression.

The matter was settled like this; Miss Luo Quan returned to her room and had the system adapt the scripts for "Zhen Huan Zhuan" and "Ming Dynasty 1566".

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

As for how to resolve the problem after it's found out, everyone just wait for the news; we're not those good people who get beaten and don't fight back."

Just like the previous "The Knockout", it directly launched Gao Qiqiang and Da Sao to top-tier stardom, and several other outstanding villains also saw their fan counts skyrocket.

Saying these starch sausages are made of chicken bones, the rice used in Immortal Sushi rice noodles is all moldy, in short, extremely unhealthy.

Simply like an annual grand gathering, the comment section is full of voices expressing gratitude and praise to her.

Now that Luo Quan says she's going to personally direct a TV drama, do you think entertainment circle stars won't be drooling?

Of course, none of these are the number one topic in the livestream room.

"Overthinking it. With so many Huaxia TV dramas, the ones that gain international popularity are few and far between. With so many entertainment options now, expecting foreigners to watch Huaxia period dramas — just thinking about it feels unreliable."

Luo Quan immediately sent a message to Yu Dabao, asking him to investigate who exactly is buying water armies to divert public attention.

"A pile of handsome men and beautiful women, I just don't believe this drama won't be a hit."

6.1223.133.190

"Wanting it all, huh? Host really doesn't make demands lightly, but when you do, it's this kind of super high difficulty."

Two consecutive hit dramas, produced two top-tier stars, and several million-follower stars.

"Each one pretending to like yanderes, but if they actually encountered a yandere they'd be scared pissless."

"Don't you know we're the Urgent Urgent Kings?"

Just opened Bilibili, and Luo Quan saw clips from her own livestream just now had already hit the hot search.

"At least that much."

"But I promise the female fans, this TV drama will absolutely suit girls' tastes too — it's a harem drama both men and women can enjoy!"

If she didn't understand what was going on at first, but still hasn't figured it out by now, then Luo Quan has wasted all these years mixing on the internet.

Actually she had layered a jacket and hot pants over herself, causing the swimsuit to be almost invisible.

"Heard this time she's coming personally?"

Originally sales were pretty good, popularity wasn't bad either, lots of streamers were negotiating collaborations with the company.

After opening the livestream room, changed the title to: New drama about to start filming, recruiting actors!

With this title change, it wasn't just fans who were interested — many stars in the industry all turned their gazes over, wanting to secure a spot in Luo Quan's new drama.

After two films finished shooting, these male actors generally gained two to three million followers each.

Forget it, the company isn't short on money anyway, lying flat is lying flat, as long as Wen Xia's fans can accept it, she as the boss has no objections anyway.

"Swimsuits are for wearing on the beach, I'm already back in my room so why would I still wear one?"

"None of you are allowed to look, Luo Bao is mine, only I can look at the swimsuit."

"Luo Bao's swimsuit is the most beautiful I've ever seen, good things should be shown off more."

Originally chatting about the drama quite nicely, suddenly a barrage comment popped up that scared Luo Quan a jump.

Current number one topic: Why not wearing a swimsuit in the room?

So TV drama viewers far outnumber movie viewers.

Accurately speaking, this is a Qing palace drama, telling a story set in the Yongzheng period.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation — basically any problematic ones might end up on this gala.

Luo Quan, full of questions, clicked open Weibo, wanting to see what exactly had happened.

The topic is very deceptive, those who don't know would think Luo Quan isn't wearing clothes in her room.

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

"Female fans expressing they've been discriminated against, so what if the female lead has a harem, shouldn't it be allowed to exist?"

Wen Xia stretched her legs out, happily choosing to lie flat.

The news didn't mention specific brands for these two foods, causing netizens to directly launch attacks on these two foods themselves.

The system has always liked to roast, this time is no exception.

Fans were very dissatisfied about this, directly rushing to question Luo Quan.

Of course, the most crucial point is that newly released movies must be seen in theaters, and for many homebody men and women nowadays, going out is like asking for their lives, let alone specially going out to watch a movie.

Regarding quality issues mentioned by some water armies, those are all intentional smears, the purpose being to divert attention from those garbage products that got on the consumer gala.

"Indeed, let's have some period stuff."

This is obviously being pulled out as a human shield by someone else.

Barrage instantly accelerated scrolling:

"Great!!!"

The mastermind behind the scenes is most likely those brands mentioned on the consumer gala.

"Impressive, Luo Bao, daring to try this kind of subject matter too."

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

"I agree!"

Could it be that after acting Cheng Dieyi, she also fell into demonic obsession along with her?

"Not sure, I wouldn't dare ask directly about this, but judging by his appearance there seems to be a bit of it." Wen Xia said with a tone full of uncertainty.

……………………

Seeing fans finally chatting about the main topic, Luo Quan clapped her hands and said: "Hehe, I knew everyone's tired of watching modern dramas, so this time it's a period drama, and a harem period drama that everyone loves to see."

"Not just looking forward to it a little, Luo Bao's productions are always premium quality!"

"Holy crap, harem!"

"Although not really into Qing palace dramas, but if it's Luo Quan filming, still can look forward to it a bit."

Luo Quan gave a relatively conservative figure, actual time might be even longer.

Good thing Luo Quan has also seen big winds and waves, continuously comforting this manager whose defenses had completely collapsed, telling her to keep the factory running, the rest she'd handle herself.

"Yes, mentioned it when the stream started, this time she's personally filming, and will also act a role."

Hottest on hot search is "Luo Quan So Spicy", content being her livestream just now on Xia Weiyi beach, comment section full of netizens screaming foreign bodhisattva's manic quotes.

But roasting aside, under Luo Quan's coercion could only obediently go to work.

Because riding the consumer gala's east wind, click-through rates are extremely, extremely high.

Some things are destined to be incomprehensible; Miss Luo Quan didn't dwell on it.

If there were online cinemas, Miss Luo Quan believed most people would still be willing to pay for legitimate content, but nowadays people's initiative is generally weak, and they prefer to stay at home during their free time, too lazy to go out.

Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera, both laughing and crying, took a deep breath, and said: "The swimsuit photoshoot hasn't officially started yet; just wait until it's done and there will be plenty of material to see—why rush this moment?"

This happened last night; the consumer gala is held once a year, mainly to expose brands with serious quality issues.

"Haha, so many female fans have come out—too bad what you say doesn't count."

Miss Luo Quan didn't know who exactly did this, but she knew someone could pull it off.

For them, who were originally just obscure figures in the entertainment industry, this follower growth rate was already beyond exaggeration—saying heavenly wealth had fallen upon them wouldn't be an overstatement.

"Damn, you're also a yandere, right? When did you learn from that Tokyo person to knife Luo Bao?"

Miss Luo Quan pondered that her video was quite long—surely no one cared about the later content?

When Miss Luo Quan said this, her expression was grim with clenched teeth.

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

Riding the heat of the consumer gala, they blamed the innocent products—who knows how many merchants and manufacturers this would ruin?

Those who did such things are literally worse than beasts!

Since you don't want me to have it easy, then I'll uproot you completely!

If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think I'm a sick cat? If I don't bring down the rice, I, Luo Quan, will write my name upside down!
