Chapter 231

~14 min read 2,628 words

"Hello Miss Luo Quan, I am director Claire Ford. Recently I am preparing a movie, and the setting of the heroine is very consistent with your image. I don't know if you are interested in coming to audition?"

Early in the morning, there was such a message in Miss Luo Quan's Twitter private message.

Click on the avatar of the private messenger, the nickname is Claire Ford, there are more than 3 million followers, and the label is a famous director. It shouldn't be a scam.

For this director, Miss Luo Quan still has some impressions. It seems that when she was on Tdle last year, this director also praised her a few words, saying that she was a dream with legs.

Miss Luo Quan didn't remember too clearly, and Baidu-ed the director's information again before replying.

This is a famous director with real strength. The art film won an Oscar, and the commercial film box office sold well globally. It belongs to a win-win director who is both acclaimed and popular.

Among the directors who are still alive, they all belong to the ranked figures.

The only pity is that there is no work that is enough to shake the film history under his hand so far. Compared with those real big guys, there is still a slight gap.

Of course, this does not hinder the fact that Director Ford is a top Hollywood director.

And such a big director personally sent a private message, asking her to audition. To be honest, Miss Luo Quan was still a bit flattered, and at the same time, she was also a bit excited, because if this audition was successful, her task would be settled.

After Baidu-ing, Miss Luo Quan replied immediately:

"May I ask what is the time and place of your audition? Because I am going to the UK in a few days, I am afraid the time will be too late."

Not long after, Director Ford replied: "That is really a coincidence. I am in the UK now. When are you coming?"

Miss Luo Quan originally planned to fly to the UK in ten days, but there was a temporary arrangement, so she advanced the date: "Seven days later, I will arrive in the UK in about seven days."

Director Ford agreed: "No problem, I will stay in the UK for about half a month. This movie needs a lot of actors to interview. I have been so busy these days that my head is almost dizzy."

"Can you reveal what kind of movie this is?" Miss Luo Quan asked curiously.

"A fantasy epic movie, adapted from a long novel called 'The Lord of the Rings', the author's name is Tolkien."

"This novel is very famous. I don't know if you have heard of it?"

Miss Luo Quan has naturally heard of it, not only heard, but it is like thunder!

The 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy is known as the greatest in film history. In any list of the greatest movies, it is an existence that can be ranked in the top twenty.

In terms of honor, the trilogy has won countless international awards. The trilogy has won sixteen Oscars, of which 'The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King' alone won eleven awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture!

There is only one movie in the entire film history that can achieve this achievement, and that is the equally great 'Titanic'!

'The Lord of the Rings' movie can be said to have left too many classic character images in film history, and even after more than ten years, it is still enduring.

If she can play the heroine in this movie, after the movie is released, entering Hollywood with this is absolutely no problem!

However, Miss Luo Quan after calming down was a bit disappointed.

She has watched the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy countless times. Most of the shots in the movie are stories of several good friends adventuring. The shots with the heroine are only a few minutes in total. In other words, there is no drama, and it is insignificant.

I don't know if she can leave a deep impression on the audience according to the task requirements in such a short time.

After all, the task requirement is two consecutive movies. Wolf Warrior 2 has a lot of her drama, and there is no difficulty in completing it. 'The Lord of the Rings' is hard to say.

However, encountering such an epic movie, Miss Luo Quan couldn't let it slip through her fingers no matter what.

No matter how much drama there is, agree first!

Because it was just an audition invitation, Miss Luo Quan and Director Ford only made a verbal agreement and didn't need to sign any contract.

Very coincidentally, the investor of this movie is Universal again. However, Miss Luo Quan secretly asked Leon later, and he didn't seem to participate in the casting of 'The Lord of the Rings', saying that there was another movie waiting for him, jointly produced by Fox and Paramount, but it is still in preparation, and it is still early for formal shooting.

About to leave China and head to the UK, Miss Luo Quan arranged her departure matters before leaving.

Actually, there is nothing to arrange. Miss Luo Quan's interpersonal relationship has always been relatively simple. Her friends in China are probably not as many as those in Japan.

The program team and the school have already communicated well, and Wen Xia also knows about this. The only thing to arrange is probably the Bilibili dynamic.

In recent days, Bilibili fans are dissatisfied with her frequent behavior of cooing, and have denounced it many times in the comment section, threatening her to update a life vlog every day by canceling likes.

And Miss Luo Quan, as a senior pigeon, would not be threatened by such small means. Every time she posted a video, she said she would update more next time, and then next time after next time…………

Actually, shooting a vlog is not difficult. It is just holding a mobile phone against her face, letting fans see what she is doing all day long.

The troublesome point is that these things cannot all be uploaded. Several hours of material finally have to be condensed into a few minutes of essence clips, and she has to add her own commentary. The workload is actually not small.

In the days of studying at Dongda, because it was on campus, she could encounter different people and things every day, and the place was big, so the material was very abundant, and Miss Luo Quan was relatively relaxed when editing.

Now after returning to China, except for recording programs, she spends most of her time at home.

Although Wen Xia's mansion is large, it is only a few hundred square meters, with two floors and less than twenty rooms. Recording back and forth is just those things. After a long time, Miss Luo Quan really doesn't know what to record for fans.

Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan was inspired by those food-zone up-hosts recently, feeling that recording cooking videos is a good choice.

These days, like Bamboo Rat Brothers, Da Sao, they are all gaining hundreds of thousands of fans, with many barrages and many memes, which are very popular.

If she follows the trend and does it, it should be no problem to complete the task assigned by fans.

Of course, wanting to achieve the same program effect as those up-hosts is very difficult. After all, her home doesn't have the big mountains with ingredients provided by villagers everywhere, and there are no glasses on her face that can seal her appetite.

Soon, Miss Luo Quan uploaded the cooking video. This series of videos is named 'Down to Rice', and the first issue of 'Down to Rice': 'Dongpo Pork'.

After uploading to the Bilibili homepage, it immediately attracted a large number of Bilibili friends to watch. In less than five minutes, the comment section was already overcrowded:

"Miss Luo Quan's small video has a new series?"

"This is a new version I haven't seen before!"

"It's really 'Down to Rice'"

"Forgive me for speaking bluntly, among girls under twenty, I haven't seen anyone who can properly stir-fry hard dishes like braised pork. Being able to understand egg fried rice can be called virtuous."

"Can't agree more. Two days ago, my girlfriend made sweet and sour pork ribs for me, almost piercing the pot. The ribs made were blacker than coal, and even my dog wouldn't touch them!"

"It still depends on the person. If it's made by Miss Luo Quan, even if it's poison, I can eat it very fragrantly."

"Wake up, you don't even have the qualification to eat the poison Miss Luo Quan puts!"

"Stabbed the old heart."

It can be seen that a group of fans are quite distrustful of Miss Luo Quan's cooking skills. Most people think that what Miss Luo Quan brings out later will not be braised pork, but black braised pork.

However, just like in the comment section, as long as it is made by Miss Luo Quan, no matter if it is delicious or not, it must be praised.

Therefore, fans and passersby clicked on the video one after another, wanting to find out.

At the beginning of the video, there was a loud "bang", and it turned out that Miss Luo Quan threw a piece of pork belly on the cutting board.

"Hello audience, today is the first issue of the 'Down to Rice' series. The first dish I made for you this time is the nationally famous Dongpo Pork. How about it, is it drooling when you hear this name?"

In the picture, Miss Luo Quan is wearing a light yellow apron, her hair is tied into a ponytail behind her, and two slender hands whiter than pork are pressed on today's ingredients, with a bright kitchen knife placed by her hand.

"Opening thunder strike!"

"The earphone party exploded on the spot."

"So fierce."

"Good hand, I lick!"

"Surprise appearance of the treasure of sincerity."

"Good pork belly, a pity."

"I want to see today, what you can turn this piece of meat into."

"No, you don't even handle the hair?"

"This hair stands up, almost stabbing my eyes."

As if hearing the barrage's complaints, Miss Luo Quan turned on the natural gas stove, hooked both sides of the pork with two hooks, and roasted the skin of the pork against the flame.

While roasting, she said: "This step is to remove the hair and hair follicles of the pork and reduce the fishy smell."

"Originally, it would be more convenient if using a spray gun, but there is no such prop for the time being."

Such a large piece of meat, Miss Luo Quan alone is still a bit strenuous to lift. After roasting for a while, she put it on the cutting board, wiped her sweat and said: "It's too tiring to start from the beginning. Next time I buy pork, I have to ask for it to be handled."

The barrage brushed up:

"Not bad, know how to roast off the pig hair. This point has already surpassed 99% of girls."

"You should record from the very beginning next time, I want to see you kill a pig."

"Think about that picture, the world's number one beauty holding a pig-killing knife, with a poor piglet wailing constantly beside her."

"Puff! I'm eating noodles, brother, sprayed directly."

………………

It seems that although Miss Luo Quan's performance in the first step is normal, it didn't make everyone feel that she is a qualified cook, which only shows that she did her homework in advance.

After all, these processes of handling meat can be known by checking on the internet, and there is no difficulty.

However, Miss Luo Quan dared to do this 'Down to Rice' series, and it was definitely not a whim.

In fact, she had long ago pointed the skill of cooking to a very high level.

Life skills are different from personal attributes. Like face value, acting skills, etc., upgrading to A+ requires attribute improvement cards to upgrade.

And life skills like cooking, housework, etc., can be upgraded to S- level using popularity values!

What is the concept of S? The head chef of a Michelin restaurant is only A+, and the upper limit of cooking level is S+.

Not only cooking, she also exchanged recipes for major cuisines at home and abroad. As long as it is a mainstream dish, she can basically make it.

Therefore, a mere Dongpo Pork is really not a difficult task for her.

After roasting the pork, Miss Luo Quan began to prepare the sauce to be used, and then explained in her mouth: "Now start making the sauce to be used for boiling Dongpo Pork. The dosage of these various spices is actually very difficult for ordinary people to grasp."

"Saying a few grams, you don't have that measuring tool. Saying a little, you can't estimate it. So it is recommended that everyone see the capacity of my spoon and add ingredients according to my portion."

Saying that, Miss Luo Quan picked up a spoon and scooped in each spice bowl. Every common spice like prickly ash leaves, star anise, etc., came a little bit, then put it into a cloth bag and threw it into clear water to boil.

Then it was boiling meat. Miss Luo Quan put the pork into another pot of clear water and said: "This process is to flavor and remove the fishy smell of the pork. There is no difficulty. It is just to pay attention to opening the pot lid every once in a while and scooping out the white foam on the surface."

Seeing this, the wind direction of the barrage began to change:

"It seems quite like that."

"This process is very formal, and it is almost the same as the videos sent by those big chefs."

"I followed this series of videos. Watching a big beauty cook is more comfortable than watching those big-headed and thick-necked chefs cook."

"Look at it for a while, the most difficult place for Dongpo Pork is the mastery of heat."

As soon as the barrage finished speaking, the video went black, and it was time to open the pot.

Here Miss Luo Quan edited it. In reality, one or two hours have actually passed.

The pork had been boiled into a snow-white color, bent into a C shape.

And the pot with the spice bag. The clear water all turned into sauce-purple brine, fragrant, but unfortunately only Miss Luo Quan could smell it.

Next, Miss Luo Quan fished out the boiled meat, pressed it with an iron plate, and fixed it with transparent glue.

This step is to reshape the pork and make it square.

Take out the brine bag and let the boiled brine stand to cool.

Every step, Miss Luo Quan performed as standard as a textbook, even the most demanding old chef could not find any problems with Miss Luo Quan.

Especially in the end, when boiling Dongpo Pork, Miss Luo Quan's control of heat was even more precise, from the size of the firepower to the duration of the firepower, all precise to a perfect level!

A group of gourmets in the barrage were dumbfounded.

Finally, Miss Luo Quan plated the cut Dongpo Pork, and then two bowls were combined and buckled, and the juice did not spill at all.

Even if they didn't see its final appearance, the audience knew that this must be an incomparably delicious delicacy.

Across the screen, they all seemed to smell a rich meaty fragrance!
