Chapter 425: A Few Things About New Year

"Ten"

"Nine"

"Eight"

"Seven"

On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, all the actors who participated in the performance gathered together and started counting down from ten.

All the programs of the Spring Festival Gala had basically finished, and the time had just arrived on the eve of the New Year.

Under the call of the host, the audience began to prepare to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

"Three"

"Two"

"One!"

"Happy New Year!"

Everyone shouted loudly amidst the sky full of ribbons, celebrating this exciting moment with the people of the whole country. The stage was full of joy, and outside the TV sets was also a scene of joy.

"Hello 2018."

This entry rushed to the first place on Weibo trending searches at a rocket-like speed. Every active Penguin was also constantly brushing the screen with red envelopes and New Year blessings, and all live streaming platforms were covered with festive lanterns, "Fu" characters, and other gifts.

In some specific areas, fireworks also began to explode in the sky, and deafening firecrackers also began to explode on the land of China.

This day was a common festival for over a billion Chinese people.

The annual Spring Festival had finally arrived. No matter what kind of difficulties one encountered last year, no matter how unsmooth things went, as the old year passed, everything had to be turned over.

Everyone firmly believed that the new year must be a new beginning, and good things would definitely happen.

Although this was just a beautiful expectation, it might not necessarily be truly realized.

But on this day when everything is renewed, hope always firmly occupies everyone's heart, driving away all negative emotions.

The Spring Festival Gala was over, and the holiday belonging to the Chinese people had just begun.

The Spring Festival holiday is a statutory holiday of the country. Except for some special industries, most workers would not have work during this period.

Even the most black-hearted boss would usually give their employees a holiday on New Year's Day.

Girls' Generation also finally obtained a holiday lasting half a month after a busy year.

Their performance at this Spring Festival Gala could be said to be perfectly completed. The four-minute "Blue and White Porcelain" song and dance viewership was second only to the national gala at twelve o'clock. The number of discussions on related topics on Weibo had exceeded 300 million, and the names of the ten people of Girls' Generation and Luo Quan were all on the trending searches!

Just this one Spring Festival Gala was more terrifying than the popularity gained by buying trending searches for a year, and it was all positive and active traffic, harvesting all praise. It could be said to have no side effects.

The key was that other traffic stars couldn't learn this way, and it couldn't be replicated in a short time.

At this time, Penguin Interactive Entertainment and the manager of Girls' Generation said that they had really won big this time.

And returning home, the girls of Girls' Generation all lay on the sofa with their limbs spread out.

Don't look at the overwhelming praise on Weibo, but only they knew how much pressure they had and how tired they were from training for this Spring Festival Gala.

Compared to this, those previous recordings of programs and stage performances were not worth mentioning.

No wonder in many documentaries about the Spring Festival Gala, some old seniors who often performed at the Spring Festival Gala would cry loudly after returning backstage after performing their programs.

It wasn't that the program was really difficult, but that they had paid too much hardship and endured too much pressure to perform well.

After the performance ended, the tense string relaxed, and naturally they cried out.

However, the girls felt that they were still very strong. At least backstage and front stage at the Spring Festival Gala, they didn't show too much emotional fluctuation.

"Everyone did a great job today, the performance was very good, not a single mistake was made!" Wen Xia praised the team members while taking deep breaths.

Don't look at her as the captain; in fact, when she came down from the stage, her legs were also shaking.

But it would have been better if she hadn't praised them. With this praise, Luo Luo Chu Yi's nose went sour, and she cried loudly: "This time it was really too scary. When I thought that over a billion people were watching us, I couldn't even open my mouth. If it weren't for the fact that the Spring Festival Gala was lip-syncing, there would have been an accident this time, wuwuwu………………"

As the youngest and most fragile pet of the team, Luo Luo Chu Yi was often criticized by anti-fans for being a crybaby when she debuted.

However, after training, she was much better than when she first participated in the program, but after the performance at the Spring Festival Gala, she still cried.

But she wasn't the only one crying; Junzi, who had always been relatively sensitive, also sobbed.

Soon, the entire living room was like a kindergarten. Once someone took the lead, everyone cried.

Luo Quan was also crying, but between laughter and tears.

As someone who had seen big scenes, performing at the Spring Festival Gala couldn't scare her. Just keep a normal heart and dance seriously as rehearsed.

However, she wouldn't call on everyone to be strong about this little thing.

Girls, after all, are made of water, and crying is a nature. Besides, crying appropriately can also relieve anxiety and pressure.

This half-month of rehearsals had indeed been hard on everyone.

"Sister Quan, why aren't you crying?" Luo Luo Chu Yi asked suspiciously when she saw that Luo Quan was frowning because of the sad atmosphere but didn't seem to want to cry.

Junzi explained: "Quan-chan seems to have always been very strong. When I, the captain, and Quan-chan encountered a big earthquake in Tokyo before, the captain and I were scared to death, only Quan-chan's face was as usual, as if she wasn't worried at all."

Yue Wei sniffed and said, "Luo Quan, you are so amazing."

"Small scene." Luo Quan scratched her head embarrassedly.

In fact, she was really scared by the sudden earthquake at that time, her little face went pale, and she had no color on her face.

However, it might be because her skin was white to begin with, and the lights were flashing at the time, so Wen Xia and Junzi didn't see anything unusual.

After all, it was a natural disaster, and the house was shaking violently at the time. Even if a big man eight feet tall was in that situation, it would be good enough not to be scared and scream.

After such a digression, the girls of Girls' Generation finally sorted out their emotions, leaving only a few who had just cried relatively hard, still sniffing.

After being busy all night, everyone was scared and worried, and by this time they were hungry.

It was late at night and New Year's, and the nearby takeout shops were closed, so Luo Quan went to the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for everyone.

Tired for a day, she wasn't in the mood to make a big meal, just ordinary tomato and egg noodles, and added a ham sausage to each bowl.

Although the dishes were simple, everyone ate them with a slurping sound, very satisfied.

After all, it was the craftsmanship of the God of Cooking Luo Quan, and even the simplest food could have an extremely delicious taste.

After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms to wash and rest.

For the next half month, it would be leisure time without any pressure. Several people had already booked tickets to return to their hometowns, planning to have a good reunion with their families.

The next morning, after breakfast, many people took their luggage and said goodbye to Wen Xia and Luo Quan.

Jiang Yuner, Junzi, Lin Yuxiao, Yue Wei, and An Xin were all going home.

Junzi's Tousan (father) and Okasan (mother) had been muttering for several days that they wanted to see their daughter. Having been away from their hometown for so long, Junzi also missed the cherry blossom tree in the yard and the love bento made by her mother.

It's just that I don't know if the cherry blossoms have bloomed under Mount Fuji in early February.

And Jiang Yuner was also going back to South Korea this time to handle a series of return procedures for her parents.

This time, making a girl group in China, she made a lot of money and bought a house in her hometown in the Northeast, preparing to take her parents back to the country to live.

Others basically had similar thoughts.

As the hottest girl group this year, these girls around twenty had each earned a huge sum of at least tens of millions. Now that the New Year has begun, it is time to return home in glory.

Luo Quan was also going back to Yuzhou, but she was going back with Wen Xia. In addition, her parents were also going to bring Gao Liang back to see his grandparents this time.

According to them, they should be back the day after tomorrow.

"Speaking of Wen Xia, do you have any news about your father?" In the living room, Luo Quan asked Wen Xia while drinking orange juice.

Mentioning her father, Wen Xia showed a sneer: "That old bastard, as soon as he heard that I was famous, he found my mother and said he wanted to acknowledge me as his daughter.

But he was scolded by my mother. This guy didn't give up, so he found me through the agent, and then we had a talk."

Luo Quan asked with concern: "What did he say?"

Wen Xia's face was as usual: "He has been single anyway, originally thinking of reconciling with my mother, but was rejected, so he wanted to work from me and let me persuade my mother.

Can I make such a decision?

I threw 500,000 to him directly and let him sign an agreement not to pester me and my mother again."

Luo Quan said coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't give him a penny!"

There are some differences between a scumbag and a scumbag.

Her father, although a scumbag, at least accompanied her mother who gave birth to her for a whole year, and left because the family asked him to go back and marry Gao Liang's mother, and left enough expenses for her mother before leaving.

Although not contacting for more than ten years is indeed a bit outrageous, it can also be understood as not having the face to see Luo Ni, or not wanting to disturb her life.

As for Wen Xia's father, there is nothing to say, he is clearly a scumbag, and there is no way to wash it.

If she met a daughter like Luo Quan, if he really dared to come to the door, she would directly have people beaten out with sticks, and beat him every time he came!

Secular society might care about a daughter hitting her father, and there would be gossip.

But she didn't care about these.

However, Wen Xia's situation was different from hers, and it was impossible to act without any worries, so she finally chose a relatively compromise plan.

To put it simply, it is to use money to eliminate disasters.

Fortunately, Wen Xia's father was quite trustworthy. He took the money and disappeared, and never appeared again.

Of course, it is also possible that the money hasn't been spent yet.

"Don't mention those unhappy things." Wen Xia waved her hand, let Luo Quan forget these, and then said: "Luoluo, you don't have anything to do at the end of February, right?"

Luo Quan lay back: "No, I have to go to New Zealand to film Lord of the Rings 2 in April, and I have no plans for the whole of March."

Wen Xia nodded: "That's good. After our Spring Festival holiday, we will have several performances in South Korea. Can you come with us then?"

Although Girls' Generation is now considered a quasi-first-line girl group in South Korea, and its popularity is quite strong.

Even if they go there directly, they don't have to worry about not being popular.

But having one more superstar to accompany them can give them more confidence.

Although Luo Quan's reputation in South Korea was not particularly good earlier, as time passed, many rumors were self-defeating, and her popularity also began to rise steadily.

Although it is not as popular as in China and Japan, it can be counted as first-line in South Korea. If she can write a few Korean songs to build momentum, the popularity will come up all of a sudden.

"No problem, anyway, being idle is being idle, just go to South Korea with you to expand the business, maybe when I sing a few Korean songs, I will directly complete the domination of China, Japan and South Korea." Luo Quan said this and smiled proudly again.

This kind of achievement that no one has achieved yet is very exciting just to think about.

Seeing her friend so confident, Wen Xia sighed but didn't belittle herself too much.

She and her team members were also walking on a star-studded avenue at this time. Although not as fast as Luo Quan, she believed that sooner or later they could become international superstars!

"By the way, you asked me to film Resident Evil 2 before, have you planned when to film it? Tell me in advance so I can free up my schedule." Wen Xia suddenly remembered this.

She was quite optimistic about Luoluo's IP. Although she didn't know how a great beauty could handle the zombie theme, the effect of filming was extremely popular.

Resident Evil 2 was destined to be a big-selling movie, and Wen Xia was very lucky to get such precious resources in her hands. Starring as Ada Wong, she naturally couldn't be careless.

Facing Wen Xia's question, Luo Quan thought for a while and replied: "It is estimated to be in May or June. It is still early now. The scenes of the second movie are much, much larger than the first one, and the time needed for preparation is also longer. It is not urgent now."

In fact, she herself was not very sure about the specific time, because the system's chain tasks were still in the cooling-off period, and she herself didn't know what the next step was.

Therefore, filming Resident Evil 2 had to be dragged on for the time being, and all kinds of preparations had to be done first.

The budget for this sequel was not as tight as when she filmed the first one.

Now she had two or three hundred million US dollars in deposits in her account, plus she had just released a new album recently, and dividends and copyright fees were hitting her account one after another. At this time, she didn't know how to write the word "lack of money"!

When she had no money, no matter what equipment she bought, she would repeatedly compare parameters, cost-effectiveness, and user reviews on various forums and video websites, and then make the best choice according to her financial resources.

Sometimes just buying equipment could take half a day to browse the mall.

But now that she had money, why care about cost-effectiveness? Just buy me the most expensive one!

Cheap things are not necessarily all bad, but expensive things will definitely not be bad!

A rich person must have the style of a rich person.

Luo Quan never treated herself badly in terms of equipment.

As for Wen Xia's invitation to go to South Korea with Girls' Generation, she was also very much looking forward to it.

It would be a pity not to take out so many classic Korean songs. If she could make a name for herself in South Korea this time, her status in the Asian music circle would be even more solid! ===== CHAPTER 426 =====
