Chapter 507: Can't Afford to Offend
"Really, Miss Luo Quan's beauty is completely two grades offline and online. She looks much more three-dimensional in person than in the video." Zhao Xilin continued to praise Miss Luo Quan's beauty in the video.
Although this is a slightly vulgar topic, Miss Luo Quan also has many other highlights worth praising, but there is no way, her beauty is really too prominent.
And the bullet comments, under Zhao Xilin's lead, also became a scene of a Pan Peach Feast:
"Needless to say, after all, she is my wife."
"What your wife? She is clearly my wife!"
"Miss Luo Quan, hehe, my Miss Luo Quan. (Drooling)"
"Against the sky, are you all obsessed?"
"In front of Miss Luo Quan, who wouldn't be?"
"Indeed..."
………………
After chatting about Miss Luo Quan, Zhao Xilin continued: "By the way, I haven't told you the result of this audition yet.
This time I was favored by Director Luo to play the male lead in her new movie, directly saying goodbye to being an extra!"
"Good heavens, this completes a class leap?"
"Playing the male lead in Miss Luo Quan's movie, you are on the rhythm of flying high."
"Old Zhao, this wave is definitely taking off. There is no one who has worked with Miss Luo Quan who hasn't become popular. You have finally made it!"
"By the way, this urban comedy shouldn't have any kissing scenes, right? You are the male lead, Miss Luo Quan must be the female lead. If at that time..."
"Die! This kind of thing must not happen!"
"Thinking too beautifully. Even the Oscar Best Actor in Lord of the Rings couldn't kiss Miss Luo Quan; they had to use camera angles and PS."
"That's for sure. Even if it was camera angles, Miss Luo Quan coaxed me for several days before I agreed."
"Good guy, it's starting again, isn't it."
"Who has yellow urine, go directly."
……………………
Half of the bullet comments were congratulating Zhao Xilin, and the other half were playing memes and being clever. Like most Bilibili video bullet comment environments, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
In the video, Zhao Xilin didn't reveal any information related to the movie, just said he was going to play the male lead, which didn't count as a spoiler.
Seeing Zhao Xilin's emotion at the end of the video, saying: I have endured a lot of pressure and suffering in the past two years, and now I have finally seen the light of day, and I feel that life is really wonderful.
After watching it, Miss Luo Quan actually felt the same way. She had been in this world for two years, but the encounters she had were even more amazing than Zhao Xilin's.
However, this is a secret that cannot be told to anyone.
With a light laugh, Miss Luo Quan typed in the comment section: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what kind of surprise you will get."
This is a line from the movie "Forrest Gump," which defeated the number one highest-rated movie on Douban, "The Shawshank Redemption," to win the Oscar for Best Picture.
Miss Luo Quan felt it was quite appropriate to use it here.
It's just that because the video view count was too high, the number of comments quickly exceeded one thousand. When she commented, she didn't forward the update, so most people couldn't see the comment she posted at all. Even if there were some who saw it, they were few, and they couldn't be fished up.
Fortunately, not long after, Zhao Xilin himself saw it and immediately arranged for it to be pinned. Miss Luo Quan's comment reply also made this video quickly hit the hot list.
Miss Luo Quan didn't pay attention to the subsequent matters. She still had many things to do.
And in the capital, more than a thousand kilometers away, Niu Jie sat on the sofa with an annoyed face. The vases, remote controls, and TV around him had already been smashed to pieces.
In the eyes of the outside world, he is a gentle and elegant famous director who is keen on promoting newcomers.
But in private, his temper is actually very irritable.
Since he became famous, few people have dared to give him so little face. Even if it was a rejection, it was only a tactful rejection. This Miss Luo Quan actually dared to mock him.
Originally, he wanted to ask who gave her the courage, but after thinking about the background of her grandfather, he directly omitted this point.
In the past, when encountering such tough nuts, Niu Jie would generally use harder means to deal with them.
But he definitely didn't dare to use this kind of means on Miss Luo Quan. The example of Hua Yi and even the Huang family behind her was the best example. More than a dozen Southeast Asian "Double Flower Red Sticks" were not the opponents of this tigress. No matter how capable he is, can he be more capable than the Huang family?
However, Miss Luo Quan herself cannot be dealt with, but her works are not so impeccable.
Swallowing his anger has never been his style. People fight for a breath, trees fight for a piece of light. He, a dignified director, stumbled on this young girl who had not yet dried behind the ears. If it spreads out, how can he handle these increasingly restless juniors in the Chinese film and television circle?
After calming down, Niu Jie dialed the phone of Deputy Director He of the GD Bureau.
"Hello, Director Niu, what's the matter?" Deputy Director He had recently been commended by his superiors for his excellent work, and there was a hint that his "deputy" was about to become "formal," so his mood was quite good.
Niu Jie called, and his tone of answering was also smiling.
"Director He, I heard you got commended recently. Congratulations." Niu Jie also learned this news from others in the GD Bureau, and used this to open the conversation.
Deputy Director He didn't expect Niu Jie to be so sensible, coming to congratulate him not long after the matter happened.
Although Niu Jie's reputation in the industry is not good in private, he doesn't like to care about such things usually, but he doesn't hit a smiling person, so he chatted with Niu Jie for a few words.
After chatting, Niu Jie started to talk about the main business: "Director He, does Miss Luo Quan have a new movie to start filming recently?"
"There is such a thing."
"I have read that script, it doesn't quite conform to the positive energy values advocated now. It has thoughts of promoting consumerism. Logically speaking, the review shouldn't have passed so quickly."
So the drunkard's intention is not in the wine, Deputy Director He sneered coldly: "The Chinese film market is dead. Last year, a "Wolf Warrior 2" made the general environment more lively. I was just about to let Miss Luo Quan add fire to it, to see what kind of innovation she can bring.
As for the script, I have read it. It is a very good story. It seems to be about a world of desire, but in the end, the protagonist chooses to follow her heart and return to the ordinary. This is not necessarily a good inspiration for young people now."
"Then maybe my understanding ability is not enough." Niu Jie smiled awkwardly and continued: "But after all, the movie has a process of suppressing before lifting. The plot in the first part really has bad places. If it is over-interpreted by people on the internet and brings up the rhythm of public opinion, it will eventually cause no small trouble."
Deputy Director He said meaningfully: "Then don't let this rhythm be brought up."
"Uh... I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Niu Jie, you are also an old man in the circle. You know better than me how to bring the rhythm and how to suppress the rhythm." Speaking of this, Deputy Director He simply stopped playing riddles, "I'll speak straight, Niu Jie. I don't know how Miss Luo Quan had a conflict with you, making you come to me to put eye drops on her, but I can tell you very clearly that you can't afford to offend her.
As long as Miss Luo Quan doesn't make a principled mistake, she can walk sideways in the domestic entertainment circle. Let alone me, even if the director calls her, he has to welcome her with a smiling face.
She is now one of the few stars in China with huge influence internationally. What she says is more useful than many people. This kind of talent is the country's baby bump, the kind that is afraid of melting when held in the palm of the hand.
If you go against Miss Luo Quan, that is to cut yourself off from the government and the people.
For the sake of knowing each other for so many years, I won't pursue this matter. However, if you offend her, you'd better buy a plane ticket immediately and go to apologize to her in person. Otherwise, when she comes to settle accounts with you, even the gods can't save you!"
After speaking, Deputy Director He hung up the phone with a bang.
And Niu Jie, who had been lectured, was also somewhat lost at this time. He never expected that the reply he finally got from Director He was like this.
This Miss Luo Quan, is she really that powerful?
He didn't pay much attention to entertainment news outside of the film industry; after all, although the entertainment circle is vast, film is the highest hall of fame, and the status of the vast majority of singers, idols, and variety show personalities cannot be mentioned in the same breath as film stars.
This sense of superiority is not just something he has, but a phenomenon in the entire film circle.
Miss Luo Quan has indeed been very powerful in the music circle these years, but she is only a newcomer in the film circle. At first, he didn't take it seriously at all.
And the words of Deputy Director He just now made him feel a misunderstanding in his thinking. He seemed to have thought of Miss Luo Quan too simply.
He looked solemnly at the second number on his phone, which was the one he had just called Miss Luo Quan.
Niu Jie cares about face, but he also understands the truth that a great man can bend and stretch.
Deputy Director He just pointed him a way, which didn't sound like he was pitting him, but to apologize to a little girl who was not even half his age, this...
After struggling for half a year, Niu Jie's reason took the upper hand, and he called Miss Luo Quan again.
Five seconds later, he put down the phone and cursed: "Damn, she actually blacklisted me!"
Now that he can't contact anyone, what should he do? Should he apologize publicly on Weibo?
Stop joking, where would he put his face in the future if he did this!
At this time, he remembered what Miss Luo Quan had said to him before. If he wanted to continue mixing, he should go and kneel down to apologize to Zhao Xilin.
Is this certain? Niu Jie sneered, this is even more outrageous than letting him apologize on Weibo.
Thinking of this, Niu Jie simply didn't bother to struggle with these things. No matter how powerful Miss Luo Quan is, she can't just fix whoever she wants in China...
After three days in Hengdian, Miss Luo Quan had basically finished the casting. Su Yu is the female lead, she plays the daughter, and the third female lead is played by Wen Xia as a guest appearance.
As for the clothing design, Miss Luo Quan had already pulled in sponsorship. The clothes of well-known big brands such as Chanel, Gucci, and Dior had already been shipped to the plane yesterday. Calculating the time, it is estimated that they will arrive soon.
This is a whole plane of gorgeous clothing. Also coming along are several stylists specially invited by Miss Luo Quan to design the outfits for the movie's leads in every scene.
As a fashion blockbuster, the leads in the movie will have different clothing styles every day. This is a huge workload. It's too tiring for her to do it alone. Letting professionals design it is the right solution.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after Miss Luo Quan finished breakfast, the clothes of several big brands were also loaded on trucks and sent over.
In order to place these props, Miss Luo Quan rented a large warehouse near the hotel. Three trucks took turns unloading, leaving three huge iron boxes in the warehouse.
Since the last time Chanel had an incident where clothes were stolen in China, all new clothes sent to China have been locked, fingerprint unlocked. Except for a limited few, no one can open them.
Although these clothes are not new, they are all classic styles of major brands, and their value is only high, not low.
Wen Xia, who has always liked collecting clothing, hasn't taken her eyes off these three big boxes since she saw them.
"Quick, quick, quick, open it." Wen Xia said excitedly to her friend from behind.
And Miss Luo Quan was recording a video with her phone: "Fans, this is the first big investment for the new movie, classic clothing styles from various well-known brands. Here, I also thank all the sponsors for their strong support."
Miss Luo Quan said, pressed her finger on it, and gently pulled the door buckle of the iron box.
Amidst a creaking sound, the iron door slowly opened, revealing a clothing corridor more than ten meters long inside.
Fashionable clothes of all kinds were lined up on both sides of the road, and there were three rows hanging on each side. Just this one box had hundreds of clothes, and the three big boxes almost squeezed out all the works of these brands in recent years.
It seems that her movie is quite valued by these brands, and they have all taken out the things at the bottom of their boxes.
Miss Luo Quan smiled proudly, simply recorded a general situation with her phone, and then entered the second box.
The situation was similar to the first one, also with countless clothes.
The third box, in addition to clothes, also had many shoes and bags.
Compared to clothes, women are actually more fond of luxury bags. Clothes may not all be suitable for wearing, but bags don't have the situation of not being able to carry them. Various limited-edition bags are carried on the shoulders, which is much more face-saving than clothes.
And in the third big box, there were all the limited-edition bags that these brands had ever released. If this video photo were placed on Weibo or Little Red Book, I don't know how many girls would scream.
However, Miss Luo Quan and Wen Xia didn't have much interest in these things. Wen Xia liked clothes more, while Miss Luo Quan didn't care about any of them.
Moreover, thinking that after the movie officially starts filming, she almost has to wear high heels every moment, her head couldn't help but ache.
A big reason why she doesn't like attending formal occasions and walking the red carpet is that she hates wearing high heels.
This kind of anti-human shoe is not much different from the foot-binding cloth in ancient China, extremely abusing the entire foot of women. Every time she wears it, it's like being tortured, and her feet hurt for a whole night after wearing it.
This movie will be filmed for at least a month or so. The Miranda she plays wears high heels and walks around most of the time. She can already imagine how her feet will be ravaged. ===== CHAPTER 508 =====
