Chapter 407: JK is Faith

"Is this the boss's home in China?" Cecilia carried her luggage, looking over Miss Luo Quan's villa in Tan Palace.

Even in Hollywood, where luxury homes are everywhere, such a grand and magnificent house was definitely quite rare.

"This is our company's staff dormitory. In the future, when you come to Shanghai, China, you can just stay here," Miss Luo Quan said, handing Cecilia a set of keys.

This time returning to the country, she had brought Cecilia back with her.

On one hand, it was to introduce her to new colleagues like Ivy, and on the other, it was to facilitate the promotion of Resident Evil, which was about to be released in China.

That's right, Resident Evil was about to be released in China.

Led by Netflix, they had contacted major domestic cinemas, and the movie had already been submitted for review. If it went smoothly, they would soon receive the Dragon Seal and be released in China.

Naturally, there would be press conferences, and as the two female leads, she and Cecilia would definitely have to attend to promote it.

"Is there no one in the house?" Cecilia put her luggage in the room and walked around upstairs and downstairs, seeing no one else.

The boss said this was a staff dormitory, so there should be other employees.

Miss Luo Quan explained: "They have all gone out to work. For these few days, it should just be us."

Today was Miss Luo Quan's first day back in the country, and in the large house, there were only her and Cecilia.

Su Yu and Lan Xuan were filming in Hengdian, and Ivy had gone to Beijing to attend a fan meeting; none of them would be back for a short while.

"So that's how it is." Cecilia nodded blankly.

This was her first time abroad, and to a strange country like China that she didn't particularly understand, so she had been a bit nervous and sensitive since getting off the plane.

Now hearing the boss say that it was just the two of them in the house, Cecilia felt a bit more relaxed.

After chatting for a few minutes in the living room, Miss Luo Quan and Cecilia went back to their rooms to catch up on sleep, and the two didn't wake up until the afternoon.

Miss Luo Quan rummaged through the refrigerator for ingredients and made a proper Chinese meal for Cecilia, who was tired of American-style Chinese food.

"Is this really Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork?" Cecilia asked Miss Luo Quan in surprise, savoring the sweet and sour taste in her mouth.

She had eaten Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork at Chinese restaurants in the United States before; it was just a few kinds of shredded vegetables stir-fried with meat, and the taste was on the salty side, not really to her liking.

But this plate of Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork stir-fried by the boss was completely different from what she had imagined!

Not only was the shredded meat uniform and the sauce crystal clear, but you could smell its rich aroma from far away.

Miss Luo Quan laughed: "This is the authentic Fish-Fragrant Shredded Pork. Most of the Chinese food you eat in the United States doesn't taste even one-tenth as good as the original."

"Boss, if you opened a Chinese restaurant in the United States, the business would definitely be hotter than the best Michelin restaurant!" Cecilia scooped up a large spoonful, eating with great delight while not forgetting to praise her.

Being praised for her cooking, Miss Luo Quan felt quite satisfied and said: "This is just home-style cooking. The real famous dishes taste even better. I'll make one for you when I have the chance!"

Cecilia smiled: "Then I'll look forward to your skills."

After the meal, the heavy task of washing the dishes was naturally handed over to Cecilia, while Miss Luo Quan, as the boss, returned to her room and turned on the computer.

"Miss Luo Quan is live streaming!"

"Resident Evil," which had topped the Bilibili trending list for two days, was finally pushed down.

Sure enough, the only one who can defeat Miss Luo Quan is Miss Luo Quan herself.

The first major event of Miss Luo Quan's return to the country this time was to open a live stream and meet the fans who had been waiting for a long time.

Since the summer break, she had opened a few live streams intermittently, but each time the duration wasn't long.

She had originally promised fans to interact via live stream frequently, but in the end, due to various reasons, she had been "pigeon-ing" (avoiding) them until now.

And sure enough, as soon as the stream started, the fans' scolding came:

"It's been so long since you disappeared, it's quite strange to suddenly see you live streaming."

"Do you still remember how to live stream?"

"You can't just close it after half an hour this time, right?"

"Grandpa, your favorite streamer has finally returned!"

……………………

Being roasted by the fans, Miss Luo Quan felt quite embarrassed and quickly apologized:

"I've indeed been quite busy over the past six months, and I haven't had much time to live stream. I'm truly sorry.

But for the upcoming winter break, I basically have no work, so I can live stream at home every day!"

"Dance a 'otaku dance' first."

I don't know who sent the bullet comment, but a large crowd of fans immediately followed suit, asking Miss Luo Quan to dance an otaku dance.

"I don't know how," Miss Luo Quan said, looking at the bullet comments, feeling both amused and helpless.

It was called an otaku dance, but there was no way to redeem such a dance style in the system, which meant that in the system's view, this didn't count as a dance.

Miss Luo Quan had also watched otaku dance videos; they were basically all the same. Rather than calling them dances, they were more like a "Youth Dance" in a youth-plus version, which was basically radio gymnastics.

There were also many movements that were simply what kindergarten children learned, with no technical content at all.

The dance itself had no highlights; the key was the face, waist, and legs of the person dancing, as well as the JK school uniform.

But for Miss Luo Quan, these were all top-tier, so did it matter if she danced an otaku dance or not?

Besides, she really couldn't learn to act cute and coy like those sisters in the otaku dance section, so she could only use "I don't know how" as an excuse.

However, the fans clearly weren't buying it and kept demanding that Miss Luo Quan do something interesting; even if she couldn't dance an otaku dance, she should know how to dance something else.

Considering she had just started the live stream, Miss Luo Quan didn't want to let everyone down, and out of a desire to compensate the fans, Miss Luo Quan finally agreed to the request to do something interesting.

She definitely couldn't dance an otaku dance, but dressing up like she was going to dance one was possible.

She had finished high school in Japan and had several sets of JK school uniforms; when she returned from Japan, she had brought them all back.

She had originally just wanted to keep them as a souvenir, never expecting there would be a day they would come in handy.

Ten minutes later, Miss Luo Quan tugged at her somewhat tight collar and returned to the live stream room.

"I can't dance an otaku dance, but today I can wear a JK outfit for the live stream," Miss Luo Quan said to the camera.

At this moment, Miss Luo Quan was wearing a brownish JK outfit, with a single ponytail. Her top, which had clearly become smaller, was bulging, and under the short skirt were a pair of flawless, jade-like long legs, straight and round, tightly pressed together.

Seeing Miss Luo Quan unlock a brand-new look, the bullet comments exploded instantly:

"My nosebleed just sprayed out!"

"This school uniform is so big, these legs are so white~~"

"That's all for browsing Bilibili today."

"Is it really okay to wear so little?"

"There is a TV called air conditioning."

"I wish she would wear even less."

……………………

Now no one asked Miss Luo Quan to dance an otaku dance anymore; everyone's attention was focused on her outfit.

Although she had worn many beautiful big dresses before—graceful and luxurious, gorgeous and sexy.

But in the hearts of otaku, no matter how beautiful a gown is, it can't compare to a JK outfit, because this is a kind of faith.

The tight short skirt, the pleated hem, the white silk stockings, the black leather shoes—combined, they were the image otaku loved most.

It's a pity Miss Luo Quan wasn't wearing leather shoes, nor was she wearing white silk stockings.

But the flaws didn't obscure the beauty; just this outfit alone was enough to make fans scream that they couldn't hold it.

Miss Luo Quan also hadn't expected that the fans would be so easily satisfied; after putting on the JK outfit, they didn't even care what program she was going to perform next.

Since there were no requests, she sang a few songs, played a few games, and then started the "Miss Luo Quan Night Talk" segment.

This segment was a fixed program when she live streamed in the summer; to put it plainly, it was reading bullet comments and chatting with fans.

Sometimes it was commenting on recent hot topics, sometimes it was telling fans about her future plans, or sometimes it was acting as an emotional expert for fans, offering advice.

I don't know how these people dared to find someone who had never been in a relationship to be an emotional mentor, but anyway, no fewer than ten couples had been broken up on this program, so fans jokingly called this program the "Breakup Conference."

As soon as they saw Miss Luo Quan flash the "Miss Luo Quan Night Talk" logo on the screen, the fans immediately beamed with joy:

"It's time for my favorite Miss Luo Quan Night Talk segment again."

"Next, please welcome the first victim."

"Tearing down ten temples is better than destroying one marriage; Miss Luo Quan is truly a wicked person."

………………

Fans joked, but in reality, they really liked watching these couples being torn apart by Miss Luo Quan.

After all, everyone was a single dog; why should you be the only one showing off your affection? It's better if you all break up!

But perhaps those with girlfriends had learned their lesson; after this "Miss Luo Quan" Night Talk segment started, no one came in to ask Miss Luo Quan for emotional advice.

"Does no one have any questions for Teacher Luo?" Miss Luo Quan looked at the mailbox opened specifically for this program; there were quite a few emails, but none mentioned emotional problems.

Miss Luo Quan, who loved to act as a teacher, was slightly disappointed: "It seems everyone is very happy and satisfied. Then let's talk about something else today. Everyone, post your questions in the bullet comments, and I'll answer whichever one I see."

"Is there a chance for Resident Evil to be played in China?" Soon, a fan asked a question.

"Definitely," Miss Luo Quan answered quickly. "Wasn't there news at noon? The movie has already been introduced. What we face next is the issue of the movie's rating and how much needs to be cut."

Bullet comments asked one after another:

"I haven't seen Resident Evil yet. May I ask if the movie is very hardcore?"

"It's very hardcore. Tentacles, imprisonment, uniforms, search officers—there are many elements."

"Good heavens, are we watching the same movie?"

"Fan-fiction artists: Don't rush, I'm drawing, I'm drawing."

Seeing these playful bullet comments, Miss Luo Quan was truly amused and helpless: "Newbies, don't be fooled by these people. This is a horror movie; it just has some scary scenes.

Anyway, the movie is definitely worth watching. I hope everyone will support the original version when the time comes."

The bullet comments were filled with "Next time for sure."

It's just that I don't know if there will be a next time.

This live stream lasted for a full three hours, and it wasn't until twelve o'clock at night that Miss Luo Quan finally ended the stream.

After the stream ended, the fans were still reluctant to leave, chatting for a long time in the black screen.

And at this time, Miss Luo Quan had long since rested.

Waking up the next day, Miss Luo Quan received good news.

Resident Evil's review in China had passed. Except for a very few bloody scenes that needed to be cut, there were basically no problems with the rest.

It was mainly because Miss Luo Quan had been quite careful about the rating when filming, so the impact of the censorship was relatively small.

It's just that she hadn't expected the review speed to be this fast. Generally, if China wants to introduce a foreign language film, it's impossible to get the review done without ten days or half a month, but here it was done in less than a day.

There was only one explanation: the contribution she had made previously had finally come into play.

At the very least, she was a hero who had donated the Imperial Jade Seal; it wouldn't be excessive to enjoy this bit of treatment, right?

Although the country didn't say it, Miss Luo Quan was quite clear about it in her heart.

The news that Resident Evil had passed the review and was about to be released quickly hit the trending list.

In less than a week, there was already a large group of Resident Evil fans in China, and there were also a large number of Bilibili uploaders making related videos, and the popularity had always been very high.

Although resources had long been available in China, the cleverness of boys in finding resources was generally only useful for "GHS" (pornography).

For this kind of proper foreign resource, many times they couldn't find the correct answer, often going around in circles adding several so-called movie official accounts, only to find that it was either a movie trailer or "hanging a sheep's head to sell dog meat" (false advertising).

At first, there were a few websites where resources could be found, but they were quickly warned and taken down, and the resources uploaded to the cloud drive also expired in a few days, which made a crowd of fans without channels miserable.

In fact, it wasn't just Resident Evil; since the beginning of this year, pirate resources across the entire internet had begun to be rectified, including film, television, music, and games, and several large pirate websites had been cracked down on.

For creators, this was definitely a good thing, but for users who were used to these websites, it was truly uncomfortable.

Opinions on the internet about this situation were mixed, but Miss Luo Quan was in favor of it with both hands.

The film industry wasn't too bad yet, but the environment for domestic music and games was so terrible, and the existence of pirate merchants was one of the main culprits.

If the country could really put in great effort to govern the chaos of piracy like Japan, not to mention that masterpieces would appear immediately, at least more practitioners would appear in the industry, increasing the soil for masterpieces to grow.

As of now, the country had indeed made some changes.

Perhaps it was angered by the chaos in the entertainment industry last year, and it intended to start from this year to properly rectify the atmosphere of the entire cultural and entertainment circle.

First, it started with cracking down on piracy.

At first, it would definitely encounter a lot of scolding.

But once everything was standardized and people were used to paying for works, then for the entire cultural and entertainment world, this would definitely be beneficial and harmless.

Of course, the prerequisite was that there must be nutritious, high-level original works; if it was a pile of "Frankenstein" works, localization, and plagiarism, then it didn't deserve the protection of the policy.

Seeing the comments in the trending section, all of which were comments about going to the cinema to support the movie, Miss Luo Quan seemed to see the bright future of China's cultural and entertainment world. ===== CHAPTER 408 =====
