Chapter 247: Friends and Family (Part 5)

Luo Quan read the contract roughly, and there was no big problem.

The salary is a little less, but the treatment of female actors all over the world is basically like this.

Besides, she has fame now, but her fame and appeal on the big screen are basically zero. The after-tax salary of 1.5 million US dollars is already high enough. After all, she doesn't have many shots in the first play.

It is worth mentioning that after the discussion of the directors, screenwriters, and producers of "The Lord of the Rings" crew, in addition to the Elf Princess, the role of the Elf Queen is also played by Luo Quan.

There is no other reason, just because Luo Quan is too suitable to play this kind of role. With her pearls in front, letting others play the same role as her setting will appear very awkward.

In terms of looks, Luo Quan can be said to be firmly grasped.

As for one person playing two roles, there is no big problem. One role is plain, and the other role is made up with a cold makeup. Luo Quan's makeup is completely two people.

Besides, the Elf Queen is originally the grandmother of the Elf Princess, and looking similar is also in line with the setting.

The scenes are a little more, but the salary has not changed.

At least Luo Quan only has so much in the first play, but it does not exclude that it will rise in the second and third parts.

In short, if "The Lord of the Rings" box office reputation explodes, it is very normal for the main creators' worth to skyrocket. At that time, her salary will probably have to turn up.

This is an excellent springboard for her. Even if it is zero salary, she will join without hesitation.

Of course, although it is unlikely that the crew will pit her, Luo Quan did not rush to reply after reading the first edition of the contract.

After experiencing the Jiang Yuner incident, she must keep a few more eyes on signing the contract, so she decided to make a decision after asking professionals.

The place is unfamiliar, and Luo Quan doesn't know where to find a lawyer, so Luo Quan had to trouble Seifert and sent a message to ask him for help.

Tool man Seifert was very generous and agreed.

The casting of "The Lord of the Rings" is over, and the supporting role of "Titanic" basically has no big problems. It depends on Director Kanason to send the contract to herself.

Solving these two things, Luo Quan's mood is very good.

Humming a hometown tune, she went downstairs. The hall was already full of guests.

At 10:30 in the morning, Charles Albert's birthday party officially began.

Before this, the old man rarely held such a party. He usually invited his few iron buddies to hold a private party, at most six or seven people.

This time he invited guests widely, from relatives and friends to partners who have cooperated in business; social celebrities to government officials are all in the invitation list.

Some of these people also brought their families to come together, scattered with two or three hundred people, all dressed in bright clothes and jewelry.

Luo Quan walked down in such a home casual wear, and then remembered that she should wear formal clothes at this time.

However, she didn't bring an evening dress when she came to London this time, and she didn't know if her mother had any extra.

Just at this time, Butler Barry passed by her, and Luo Quan hurriedly stopped him:

"Butler Barry!"

"What's the matter, Miss Luo Quan?"

"Does the family have any formal clothes? I forgot to bring them this time."

"Yes," Butler Barry nodded with a smile and said, "Please come with me."

The two turned and went to the fourth floor. This is the floor closest to the top of the castle and is used as a storage room. Of course, it is not used to store sundries or food, but to store some collections with overall value.

As an old-fashioned aristocrat, the old man, like most people, likes to collect paintings, sculptures, and various rare items of famous artists.

Of course, he is not a fan of this aspect, and only collects what he likes.

As for the room of women's clothing in front of Luo Quan, it is not the old man's collection, but prepared by Butler Barry.

The women of a big family often have to attend many formal occasions. At this time, these clothes will be used. Butler Barry also asked professionals to prepare women's clothing of various sizes from 1.65 meters to 1.75 meters.

Of course, there are also men's clothing.

It is a pity that the clothes are ready, and the children of the old man can't come back once a year, so these clothes have become decorations.

However, Butler Barry didn't just leave them idle. Every period of time, he would ask professionals to maintain the clothes in case of need.

"The style of the clothes is not the latest. If Miss Luo Quan is not satisfied, I can call someone to send it to you from outside."

"Haha, no need to be so troublesome." Luo Quan walked in with a smile, and Butler Barry gently closed the door.

Luo Quan didn't have a choice difficulty. She quickly picked a pure white lace evening dress among the clothes emitting unknown floral fragrance, and walked into the fitting room with it.

After changing, she looked in the mirror. It was quite fitting and not particularly exposed.

Then she casually turned over a pair of white crystal high heels according to her foot size in the glass shoe cabinet next to the hanger.

At first glance, Luo Quan felt that her dress was exactly the same as the princess in the fairy tale.

It's quite strange to be like this usually. Fortunately, she looked at the female guests in the hall just now. Basically, they were all evening dresses and high heels.

Everyone is the same, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

However, she wore high heels too little. When she walked to the door, she swayed step by step, and she was worried about whether she would sprain her feet later.

Grabbing the door handle, Luo Quan felt a little more at ease and opened the door.

Butler Barry, who was facing the door, turned around. He, who was old and steady, couldn't help but show a surprised expression: "Your beauty is even more amazing than all the princesses and socialites I have ever seen!"

Luo Quan laughed: "Haha, really? My friends all say that I am very earthy, like a village girl."

It's fine not to open your mouth. It really looks like a village girl when you open your mouth...

Butler Barry felt a stagnation in his heart and regretted: "If you had lived in the Albert family since you were a child, as a butler, I would definitely make you have more aristocratic temperament than any lady in the family!"

"It's really too late to learn now, but as long as you talk less, it shouldn't be a big problem." Luo Quan also knows her own problems. Anyway, as long as she doesn't speak, she is a goddess.

"That's not necessarily the case." Butler Barry shook his head with a smile.

The two went downstairs. At this time, the whole family had changed their clothes and put on makeup, and went to the courtyard.

The lunch party was held in the courtyard, and the castle hall had to be decorated for the evening party, so the guests were invited outside after staying in the hall for a while.

Luo Quan came to the quite lively courtyard alone.

The party has already started. Various appetizers and pre-meal desserts are placed on the long table covered with white tablecloths.

Like the scenes in Luo Quan's impression, champagne, red wine, etc. are all arranged in a mountain shape, but they are not piled up particularly high, only three layers.

After the drunkenness last night, Luo Quan didn't want to look at any wine at all now.

Skipping the table full of wine, Luo Quan went straight to the "children's area" with juice next to it.

"Fred, look there!" In the party, a blonde man poked his friend with his elbow.

"Look at what?" The young man called Fred just focused on the food in front of him and said somewhat uninterestedly.

Both are blonde white men. Fred's suit obviously looks a bit big. The trouser legs covered half of the back of the leather shoes, and the sleeves were also rolled up a circle. Those who didn't know thought he had secretly worn his father's suit out.

Darian said excitedly: "I swear, that is definitely the best-looking girl I have ever seen!"

Fred helpless: "How many times have you said this sentence in the UK?"

"Don't just eat your food, you'll know if you take a look!"

Fred had no choice but to take a bite of the meat steak in his hand, and looked over along his friend's gaze.

In an instant, Fred seemed to be struck by lightning, his whole person froze in place, the meat steak in his hand slipped quietly, and his mouth that was chewing also lost its movement.

Obviously there were so many women in the line of sight, but he saw the girl who could make everything fade away at a glance.

At this moment, his mind was turning thousands of times. Among all the knowledge he learned, the adjectives about beauty used to describe this girl were so pale and powerless.

What made his face pale was that the girl actually turned her head and looked at him.

Now he, with half a piece of meat steak in his mouth, his mouth was full of bright fat, and his hands were also wet.

The meat steak that was incomparably delicious just now was completely tasteless at this moment.

This should be the most embarrassing moment in his life. He didn't pay much attention to his image before and was unkempt.

But now, how he wished his image could be as clean as his friend.

"Fred, that girl looked over. I think he must have been attracted by me!" Darian became more and more excited, tidied up his collar and tie, and walked forward.

On the way, he also took two glasses of red wine from the waiter passing by.

Although he was snatched by his friend, Fred still stepped forward to follow.

In the past, he didn't care much about his friend's behavior of chatting up girls, but this time, he hoped darkly that his friend must fail!

"Beautiful girl, I don't know why I always feel like I've seen you somewhere." Darian was full of smiles, using this old-fashioned opening line.

"Have you heard my songs too?" Luo Quan knew there would be this scene after looking at these two boys.

"Are you... a singer?" Darian was stunned, obviously not expecting this.

After a pause, he realized: "I seem to have seen you? I was on Time magazine before, called... Luo Quan?!"

Foreigners speak Chinese, and they always like to use the third tone for pronunciation.

Luo Quan's face turned black and said: "That word is pronounced quan."

"Oh... sorry, my Chinese is not very good." Darian used a smile to cover up his embarrassment, was silent for a while, and hurriedly handed the red wine in his hand: "Do you mind if I invite you to have a glass of wine? The main course of the party is about to start, just treat it as an appetizer."

Luo Quan was familiar with this, and her father also said to have a glass last night, treat it as an appetizer.

Then she drank it, and the things behind it are also known.

"Sorry, I can't drink, I can only drink juice." Luo Quan raised the orange juice in her hand and declined.

"Ah... this." Darian didn't know what went wrong, and hurriedly finished a few sentences. The first impression this girl had of him dropped straight.

"I remember!" Fred behind Darian suddenly shouted, startling the two people beside him.

"You are that Luo Quan from China, you released an album before—"Love", right?!"

"Yes." Luo Quan nodded, "So have you heard it?"

"Uh... of course I have!" Darian hurriedly replied.

"Don't you like listening to rap the most? Big gold chain, luxury car, and beautiful woman?" Fred dismantled the stage without mercy.

Darian looked at his friend and immediately understood what he wanted to do.

"Haha, let me introduce you. This is my best friend Fred Abigail. You two shake hands and get to know each other."

"Hello." Luo Quan was very polite and reached out.

Fred also wanted to reach out, but after raising it, he remembered that his hand had just grabbed the meat steak, and it was full of meat residue and oil.

Luo Quan was about to shake hands, and seeing the unknown liquid on Fred's hand, her expression froze.

Both of them fell into embarrassment.

Fortunately, Fred reacted quickly and raised the other clean hand.

After shaking hands with difficulty, Luo Quan turned around and took out a few pieces of paper.

Thinking about it, she took out a few more.

"Thank you!" Fred grabbed the tissue and hurriedly wiped it on his hand.

"And your mouth." Darian whispered.

Too embarrassing! Fred exposed all his ugly side in front of Luo Quan.

There is nothing more embarrassing than this.

Just then, Seifert and Gao Liang walked over: "Wow, you changed into a dress, as if you were a different person!"

The five met. Darian was surprised to see Seifert: "It's you! How did you come too!"

Seifert laughed: "You said this, can you buy it and I can't come?"

As a human spirit, he had already seen the three people here before coming over, and guessed what they were chatting about through their expressions.

"Sister, Dad was looking for you just now." Gao Liang said.

"Let me introduce you. This is the grandson of the party host, Mr. Charles, and Luo Quan is his sister." Seifert's expression was natural, as if he was also the host.

"Hello." Gao Liang shook hands with Fred and Darian.

After shaking hands, Gao Liang felt a little greasy. Does this person use hand cream? Is he not a Gay!

Darian asked: "So you are Mr. Charles's granddaughter, then your father is?"

"Eric Albert." Gao Liang helped say.

"Ah, before in the United States, my father met Eric a few times. Then our two families can be considered to have a deep origin."

This is starting to climb the relationship.

Seifert laughed: "It's a deep origin if you have met a few times. You are quite good at pulling relationships."

Darian's face didn't change and said: "I'm not fictionalizing, the facts are originally like this."

The two looked at each other, their eyes full of sparks, it is estimated that there had been some unpleasant experiences before.
