Chapter 260

"Luo Quan, there's something I want to discuss with you." Seifert's tone sounded a bit hesitant.

"What is it?"

"It's just that last time I said I wanted to give you an Ether Maserati as a birthday gift, but now I'm afraid I can't give you this one."

"Ah, why?" Luo Quan wasn't insisting on this car; she didn't actually have any special obsession with these things.

"My sister found out that this car was going to be given away by me, and she wouldn't let me, pestering me every day. I really couldn't resist her.

But as compensation, I'll change it to a better one for you! I've already sent the photos of the car to your email, I think you'll like it."

As he spoke, Luo Quan's phone made a notification sound; it was most likely the photos Seifert had sent.

"It doesn't matter, the thought is enough. I'd be happy even if you gave me a bicycle... Let me take a look at this car then." Luo Quan didn't hang up the phone, but switched the call to the background and opened her email.

Coming into view was a stylish sports car that was pitch black all over and full of a sense of technology. Its appearance had distinct edges and corners and was full of aggression, somewhat resembling the four-wheel-drive cars she played with when she was a child.

But without a doubt, this car was much cooler than all the four-wheel-drive cars she had ever seen!

Actually, Luo Quan herself didn't have any research on these sports cars, but the first time she saw this car, she felt its extraordinariness and fell in love with it.

"What is this car called?" In Luo Quan's tone was joy that could not be concealed, "Such a cool sports car!"

"It's a Lamborghini Veneno."

"That's the one!" Luo Quan said without hesitation; not only the appearance, but even the name grabbed her heart.

"Then it's settled. Take some time to handle the import inspection and customs declaration procedures; I'll take care of the tariffs here for you."

"Then thank you so much." Luo Quan smiled and said with satisfaction.

"We're so close, no need to say thanks." Seifert laughed and hung up the phone.

"It's really just as you said, Luo Quan likes this car very much." Seifert looked up and said to Fred, who was sitting opposite him.

In the quiet room, there were five young people sitting in total.

Gao Liang, Seifert, Prince Abshir, Fred, and Darian.

Gao Liang and the others had met at the Dubai airport, and after chatting for a few sentences, they realized that Fred and Abshir were also good friends. Although Seifert and Darian didn't get along, they eventually traveled together.

After arriving in Dubai, these four had also been hanging out with Abshir the whole time.

Fred was quite proud: "Luo Quan's aesthetic definitely wouldn't be the same as an average girl's."

"You're really willing to part with it. I've always wanted this car, I didn't expect you to just give it away like that." Abshir's tone was full of complaints.

Gao Liang took a sip of camel milk and didn't speak.

The cause of this matter was actually him discussing giving Luo Quan a gift with Seifert.

Originally, Seifert had already handled all the procedures in the United States and was about to notify Luo Quan to handle them there so it could be directly air-freighted over.

As a result, Fred found out and said that he actually had a better choice for a gift car, and that Luo Quan would definitely like it.

Gao Liang and Seifert, these two brothers, were so shrewd; hearing this, they knew Fred was interested in Luo Quan.

Moreover, Fred was so generous, opening his mouth to offer this top-tier luxury car, of which only three were produced globally. Such a straightforward sucker, if you don't fleece him now, when will you?

Actually, Gao Liang refused at first; letting his older sister receive such a big favor from someone for nothing wouldn't be easy to repay later.

Moreover, as a younger brother, he subconsciously also rejected the feeling of his sister being coveted by other men. (PS. Nothing to do with incest)

However, Fred gave too much.

As a meeting gift, he gave Gao Liang a full set of Transformers figures, among which Optimus Prime and Megatron were even the nearly 1.8-meter tall versions!

To boys, these were priceless treasures!

Gao Liang struggled bitterly for three seconds, and finally accepted the gift with tears in his eyes, while remaining silent on the following matters.

As for Seifert, she didn't have any thoughts about Luo Quan, so she was indifferent.

Fred was willing to use such a method to get close to Luo Quan, and he also did a favor; after all, in the eyes of American girls, this guy was one of the top three most eligible bachelors!

Therefore, Fred obtained this opportunity to give Luo Quan a gift, even if Luo Quan didn't know at all that it was from him.

Having ascended to the position of Luo Quan's number two simp, his intentions had actually been seen through by everyone, but fortunately, he currently didn't have any competitors...

It wasn't that there weren't any; Japan still had an Imperial Grandson, but that person had already died heroically last year. Although he might still be missed, it was estimated that there would be no opportunity to meet Luo Quan in the short term.

In short, this favor was owed without Luo Quan knowing anything about it...

After "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, the box office and word-of-mouth went up all the way, and related information flooded social media and WeChat Moments. Weibo, Zhihu, and Douban were also overwhelmingly discussing it.

This well-produced mainstream film, with its explosive action scenes that crushed all domestic films in recent years and the superb acting skills of the protagonists, received tidal waves of praise from inside and outside the industry. At the same time, many words from the protagonists' mouths in the film also became current golden quotes.

However, the clip used most by Douyin and Constable was actually the scene at the end of "Wolf Warrior 2", which was a wine-red passport with a few lines of words engraved in gilded gold:

Citizens of China, when you encounter danger overseas, do not give up! Please remember, behind you, there is a powerful motherland!

Actually, this sentence is not on China's passport; it was added at the request of Director Wu Jing himself, but in the end, it became the finishing touch of the entire film, sublimating the theme.

Most worth mentioning is that China's consistent behavior has also been the most powerful proof of this passage.

Just like when the villain in the film was suppressing Leng Feng, mocking the protagonist for being an inferior race.

And the next moment, Leng Feng completed a counter-kill in a desperate situation and said: That was in the past!

China has already stood up.

However, not every Chinese person has stood up.

When "Wolf Warrior 2" ignited the patriotic feelings and national pride of the public, there were always some flies, a few shrill sounds, a few sobs.

I don't know if they were paid or if they were born without bones in their knees, but they refused to stand and be human, insisting on kneeling and being dogs.

These people were always posting various comments online to slander "Wolf Warrior 2" and slander the various plots in the film related to China.

Actually, they only had one goal, and that was to slander China.

However, flies will be cleared away sooner or later; even if the authorities don't take action, the people won't let them go.

Angry Chinese netizens still had their own judgment in the face of such matters of principle; they were scolding them while reporting them.

Weibo, this time, could be considered to have done something human, banning all those relatively active flies for a year.

Seeing this, Luo Quan couldn't help but tear up a little.

These flies caused public anger and were reported, yet they were only banned for a year. How many people had reported her for her to be banned permanently?

No one could answer this question for her, presumably.

As of midnight on Children's Day, "Wolf Warrior 2", which had been released for a week, had raked in two billion in box office, setting a record for the first-week box office of an Asian film. Professionals analyzed through data that the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" should continue for about another five days.

At the same time, the government also issued documents to large and medium-sized enterprises, including state-owned enterprises, requiring enterprises to organize employees to go to cinemas to watch the film.

This was a mandatory indicator, and primary and secondary school students would probably have corresponding arrangements, but considering economic conditions, there shouldn't be mandatory arrangements.

Luo Quan and Wen Xia also wore sunglasses to the cinema to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" on Children's Day.

Seeing one's own face appear on the big screen was actually a very wonderful experience.

At first, she was a bit embarrassed, but later on, Luo Quan got used to it.

This time, "Wolf Warrior 2" caused such a huge discussion that the various muscular hard photos of the male lead, Wu Jing, became essential pictures for middle-aged men to motivate themselves in their WeChat Moments.

And as the female lead, Luo Quan, although she didn't have many scenes, still gained a considerable amount of popularity.

Netizens who play on Weibo, Zhihu, and Bilibili were mainly those around twenty years old, and Luo Quan appeared most on these platforms.

Unlike in Japan, her national popularity in China wasn't actually that high.

In the past, there were mainly two ways to increase national popularity in China: one was the Spring Festival Gala, and the other was the Star Avenue.

Now there was one more, Weibo.

And Luo Quan, in the situation of almost never having been on television, let the ordinary people of China know her name through the hit movie.

Just on June 1st, the News Broadcast reported on the "Wolf Warrior 2" film breaking two billion, and she, as the female lead, also received a not-short introduction.

This included her nationality, as well as the achievements she had made at home and abroad since her debut.

Many middle-aged people who didn't play on Weibo were surprised after seeing this beautiful girl with a foreign face but Chinese nationality.

As for the high evaluations she received in music, they were automatically omitted by everyone, but this peerless face of hers left an extremely deep impression on people.

With the continued explosion of "Wolf Warrior 2", her national popularity would naturally also receive a huge boost.

However, it sounded very beautiful, but it was actually of no great use.

The songs she wrote were basically what young people liked to listen to. How many young people nowadays watch TV, and how many of those elderly people play on Weibo or Bilibili?

The target audience for promotion was almost staggered.

So Luo Quan didn't particularly care about these things. If she really wanted to gain fans, she could strike while the iron was hot and write a few songs like "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" or "The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style", and she would probably be able to dominate the domestic middle-aged and elderly market very quickly.

After watching the movie, Wen Xia announced the end of their joint entertainment activities, and she also missed an episode of "Creation Youth".

Facing the fans' confusion, Wen Xia only used four words to answer: "Preparing for the College Entrance Exam!"

This could be considered her most important thing this year; after getting it done, this year would be relaxed.

And Luo Quan, having rested for so long, finally welcomed work of her own.

It was Dean Zheng of the Shangyi Music Academy who called her, asking her to come to the school if she had time in the near future.

She, who had been in a salted-fish state, flew to Shangyi as soon as she received the news.

Finding Dean Zheng's office, the latter took off the headphones he was wearing and looked at Luo Quan.

"Hello, Dean Zheng." Luo Quan greeted him.

"Hello, find a seat and sit down." Zheng Guohua said with a beaming smile.

In the eyes of most students at the Music Academy, Dean Zheng's image had always been stern and extremely strict with rules. Every time he gave a lecture at the beginning of the month, he would have a straight face, as if every student sitting there owed him money.

However, at this moment, facing Luo Quan, he was smiling brightly, his smile like a daisy.

"You were in such a hurry to find me, is there something?" Luo Quan asked straight to the point.

"This matter is an opportunity for you; it just depends on whether you can grasp it." Dean Zheng said, taking a document out of the drawer, turning it around on the table, and pushing it in front of Luo Quan.

She looked closely: "600th Anniversary Documentary of the Forbidden City... Music Score Collection!"

"That's right, this is a document issued from above, aimed at all musicians in China. As long as you want to, you can submit your work.

Although there are still 2 years until the 600th anniversary, if you want to create good music, you definitely need a long time to polish it, so arranging it in advance also gives everyone time to prepare."

"Does that mean I can also submit?" Luo Quan saw a "National" character on the document and thought to herself that she actually had a day where she could participate in music production of this level.

"Of course, I called you here for this matter!" Zheng Guohua nodded and said, "As one of the top art colleges in the country, our Shangyi's cultivation of musical talent and achievements in music are obvious to all. Since the founding of the school, Shangyi has always upheld the school motto of 'Ultimate Goodness and Beauty', focusing on the construction of teacher ethics and style, strengthening student management..."

As Dean Zheng spoke, he discovered the problem himself.

"Look at my brain, I usually speak official jargon too much, and I can't switch back all of a sudden. Why am I telling you this?"

Luo Quan smiled: "Just consider it my first lesson of the semester in advance."

Zheng Guohua said seriously: "My meaning is that Shangyi has made quite a few achievements in music, the students' qualifications are among the best in the country, and the teachers' strength is also very strong.

So this time, the authorities specially gave us an opportunity to show our faces, letting us be responsible for the background music creation for the documentary's promotional short film.

The requirement is for it to be imposing, to let the audience be attracted by the Forbidden City's heavy history and grand history at the first moment.

This is a private meal for Shangyi musicians; outside musicians cannot participate. And calling you here this time is because I want you to also join in the music creation!"

Ps. Thanks to book friends Senior Anima and Smiling Streamer for the book coins, thank you!
