Chapter 494: Rising Fame

The college entrance examination ended, and Luo Quan finally scored 471. It wasn't good, but it wasn't bad. At least she didn't have to worry about an undergraduate degree. Most students were basically at this level.

However, this score of 471 was based on zero in math and a big drag in liberal arts.

For Luo Quan, this was just an exam for the sake of the program effect, but for others, there were many places worth discussing.

Not long after the live stream ended, there were related Q&As on Some Zhihu.

"How to view Luo Quan doing the 18 National Paper and getting zero in math?"

High-praise answer:

"Obviously, Luo Quan is really not good at math. When she participated in the Tokyo University entrance exam in Japan, other subjects were very good, but only math was not very good. It is not surprising that such a situation occurred.

After all, she has never been exposed to domestic math textbooks and math problems, and the difficulty of this year's national paper math is also the highest in previous years."

"After this exam, Luo Quan's math level is considered to be known to the whole country.

However, if anyone really thinks she is a math idiot, then I am afraid it is a big mistake.

When live-streaming, I saw clearly that she calculated the answers to the first few questions of the test paper and wrote them on the draft paper, but she still chose the wrong answer while interacting with the barrage.

Perhaps she really couldn't do the difficult questions later, but her math wasn't bad to this extent.

The reason for getting zero points is estimated to be for the program effect. Look at this live-streaming of doing college entrance examination questions, didn't it harvest a lot of topics?"

"Reasonably speaking, Luo Quan said before the live stream that she hadn't done math problems properly for two years.

When I was in high school, if I didn't do problems for a summer vacation, I would feel strange looking at the textbook after returning to school. Not to mention her who hadn't touched it for two years? Is it a joke that the brain will rust if it is not used for too long?"

"It's not that I'm washing her. Now those sophomore and junior students, aside from those in the math department or top students, how many can understand the college entrance examination math questions if they look back?"

"If nothing else, Luo Quan's Chinese is really good. Aside from the modern text reading where the interpretation rights belong to the question-setting teacher, the previous questions are all full marks.

If she could look at the answering ideas in advance and learn the sentence patterns like: 'This sentence uses the technique of..., vividly and vividly expressing the psychology of..., reflecting the thought of...', the score is estimated to be easily over 135."

Although Luo Quan getting zero in math made many people drop their glasses, after some analysis, it didn't seem so hard to accept.

After all, it is not a necessary skill for life. It might be possible to get a high score in high school, but it is not strange that it is forgotten seven or eight out of ten if not reviewed for a long time, and people will not question her education because of such trivial details.

Furthermore, with her current situation, education is no longer important.

As long as she wants, she can go to top-tier famous universities like Harvard and MIT. After all, no university would be willing to refuse such a wealthy and talented student.

Therefore, this exam didn't cause too much public opinion. People discussed it more in a teasing tone.

However, Luo Quan was actually a little disappointed with this situation. She wished that the heat of her doing college entrance examination questions could rise, and it would be best if the whole country and even the whole world knew about it.

She even took out the Nobel Prize winning work to save her face, but there was no discussion, which was really uncomfortable, making her feel like a pearl cast in the dark.

Of course, it was more likely that Chinese people couldn't appreciate Western-themed poetry works without this cultural background.

If what she wrote this time was *Tengwang Pavilion Preface* or *Song of Everlasting Regret*, assuming these works hadn't appeared, the attention it would attract would be in the millions.

Unfortunately, with her brain, she didn't have the ability to write such a top-tier article with flying literary talent.

It wasn't impossible to write it hard, but the level was estimated to be similar to Zhang Zongchang and others.

This "doggerel general" had many popular poems, among which her favorite was *I Also Write a Great Wind Song*, and the famous line: "The cannon opens, boom his mother" was simply mighty and domineering.

The poems she wrote had no attention, but Luo Quan was not discouraged. After all, this was originally a song. After the musical work was sung by her, the heat was not the same, and it was only a matter of time before it hit the front page of the newspaper.

However, in these few days, there was probably no place for her in the newspaper. With the release of *Titanic*, Carilien became the most popular woman in the world.

The day after the film was released, major newspapers began to praise her in various ways, from the film to the director to the actors, as cheesy as possible.

*Time* magazine's exclusive interview and cover, several main creators took turns, and endorsements, film contracts, program recording invitations, and interviews came like a tsunami.

Before filming *Titanic*, Carilien was actually just a second-tier star. Although she had won several high-value awards and was very beautiful, she was just a bit short of becoming a first-tier star.

But after *Titanic* was released, her popularity exploded, directly skipping the first tier and becoming a super first-tier, at the same level as Luo Quan.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the theme song *My Heart Will Go On* brought a large wave of traffic to Luo Quan, Luo Quan's heat during this period wouldn't be comparable to Carilien's.

As the saying goes, "people are popular and have many troubles."

Two big stars who had won the title of "world's most beautiful" would definitely be compared by all kinds of people, regardless of whether they had such thoughts themselves.

These people include melon-eating masses who just want to watch the fun, anti-fans with ulterior motives, and unscrupulous media who deliberately lead the rhythm.

In the final analysis, it was all for traffic. There was no event with greater traffic than two popular female stars tearing each other apart.

Now there were many reports on foreign websites blackening Carilien or blackening Luo Quan. The routine was similar to the marketing accounts in China. When blackening someone, they would deliberately mention another person in the article and carry out positive propaganda, and then the comment section would directly start a fan war.

In general, Luo Quan had always been in the upper hand, after all, there were many fans.

But Carilien was in full swing now, occupying the welfare of *Titanic* being popular, and had a considerable number of followers. Loving the house and its crow, they naturally became Carilien's fans.

So the two sides were currently evenly matched, and there was no situation where one side was exploded.

But this was also the reason why Luo Quan didn't pay attention to this wave of rhythm at all, plus domestic fans were all paying attention to her getting a zero in the college entrance examination math, and didn't participate in the rhythm abroad at all.

Actually, Luo Quan had always been on Twitter paying attention to this matter. She felt that Carilien should also be unaware. After all, the two had exchanged contact information a while ago, and there was a possibility of cooperation in the future, so there was no need to do such things that offended her.

It was estimated that it was still the good deeds of these media who would do anything for traffic, which also strengthened her idea of doing media herself.

If there were conditions in the future, she would raise a group of pen-holders herself. Whichever media blackened her, she would let her subordinates black back, so as to save her from having to go down personally every time. She had become an international top stream, and doing things still had to pay attention to a pattern.

To avoid the matter getting bigger and bigger and becoming uncontrollable, Luo Quan took the initiative to post a tweet:

Congratulations to *Titanic* for breaking 800 million USD at the global box office. In addition, Carilien's Rose and Gao Liang's Jack played really well. Such love is really moving.

After posting the tweet, Gao Liang immediately replied below:

"Did anyone see the guest role my sister played in the movie? To be honest, I didn't notice where the director cut her when I watched it the first time."

"This guy..." Luo Quan's fist couldn't help but clench.

This matter was actually quite funny. Before, Director Kanason invited her to be the heroine but failed, so he proposed to let her guest star in a role in the movie.

However, because she was too beautiful, if she was given more shots, there would be a risk of stealing the show, so he only arranged a role for her that only appeared for one year, which was a member of the band playing in the hall with the pianist at the end of the movie.

Luo Quan was the violinist inside. When the camera came over, you could only see half of her face, and then the next picture was seawater pouring in, and everyone was drowned.

To be honest, if you didn't know in advance, you couldn't recognize it was her based on this short shot. Anyway, Luo Quan didn't hear anyone recognize her when she watched it in the cinema.

If it weren't for the media mentioning this matter later, it was estimated that not many people would think of her appearing in the movie.

Media, they always like to engage in clickbait. When reporting, they directly used: "Shock! Luo Quan also guest-starred in the epic masterpiece *Titanic*, and the role she played was actually..."

Click in to see, there was only a blurry photo, estimated to be captured on the spot with a camera, because the picture was too fast, so the picture quality was the same as the quality of a certain V.

After this report came out, the whole internet was full of happy atmosphere.

Originally, it was an embarrassing awkward thing. Gao Liang was now mentioning which pot was not open. In Luo Quan's view, he was obviously itchy

Luo Quan chuckled and replied to him with a "fist" emoji, the meaning of which was quite obvious.

Not long after, Karilian also replied under the tweet:

"Congratulations to Director Luo on the great success of *Rurouni Kenshin*, breaking the Japanese film box office record. I look forward to us having a chance to collaborate in the future!"

This interaction effectively caused the tension between the two to collapse on its own.

In fact, many things can be resolved with just one sentence and a simple, well-intentioned communication. After all, most people are reasonable.

However, many people like to complicate simple matters and are unwilling to take the initiative to offer others a way out, which is why situations often escalate into conflicts.

Luo Quan used to have a fiery temper; she didn't like to back down and was sometimes unforgiving even when she was in the right.

But after experiencing the Miss Xingye Ying incident, she would calm herself down before doing anything, considering the causes, consequences, and gains or losses.

If she is attacked, she also looks to see if the other party is deliberately picking a fight or if someone else is plotting in the shadows.

It sounds like she has changed from a reckless hothead into someone deep and calculating, but this "deep calculation" has indeed allowed her to resolve controversies and storms with the fastest speed.

Luo Quan taking the initiative to show goodwill to Karilian was something the media outlets still trying to stir up trouble hadn't expected. They had originally assumed that these two popular stars would inevitably clash over the topic of whose looks were better, and as long as one side couldn't hold back, they could continue to fan the flames and ignite a massive war.

As it turned out, Luo Quan took the initiative to show goodwill, and Karilian followed suit gracefully.

Now, if they tried to stir up trouble again, even a fool would know the media was just adding drama for their own sake.

Consequently, less than two days after Luo Quan posted the tweet, reports pitting the two against each other on the foreign internet dropped by more than half, and the conflicts between their fans almost ceased entirely.

However, Luo Quan's attention was no longer on this. After restarting her stream, Luo Quan did the college entrance exam questions as requested by her fans, and then spent the entire day being mocked by the math geniuses in her chat.

She didn't know before that every one of her fans was at the level of an Olympiad math champion, because almost everyone was mocking her: "Isn't this kind of question something you can do with your hands? I could solve this with my feet..."

Facing such mockery, although Luo Quan was very annoyed, she had no reason to refute them.

But staying silent wasn't her style, so the next day, Luo Quan directly launched the first Luo Quan Cup League of Legends Solo Tournament.

LOL can be considered the game with the highest penetration rate besides *Honor of Kings*; there are almost no high school boys who don't play it.

If their math grades aren't good, perhaps the boys won't argue back.

But if someone says you're a "noob" at LOL, then sorry, you have to solo to see who the real "daddy" is.

Generally speaking, girls aren't as good at gaming as boys, and those who can reach Diamond on their own are rare, but Luo Quan is clearly an exception. Previously, she had braved the "sniping" of her fans to reach Master rank in the Ionia server on her own.

She might still be a distance away from Challenger level, but her LOL skill definitely exceeds 99% of male players in the country.

Therefore, Luo Quan started this solo tournament to deflate the arrogant attitude of these male fans in her chat.

She also changed the title of her stream; the first half was "The First Luo Quan Cup League of Legends Solo Tournament," and the second half was "I'm not targeting anyone, but everyone here is trash."

With a title like that, if the summoners could still hold back, they would definitely be itching for a fight—those with accounts would log in, those without would borrow them, swearing to let her know who the real master of summoners is!

………………

"The master of summoners takes First Blood!"

In the Rift, Luo Quan's ID was announced once again. She smiled contemptuously, exited the game, and filled in the strokes of the third "Zheng" character on her notepad.

This was already the fifteenth summoner to fall at her hands.
