Chapter 508: Wedding
Although it was very uncomfortable, it was for filming the movie, so she could still endure this bit of suffering.
Although she has a daughter's body, she is not delicate at all.
After all the preparatory work was completed, Miss Luo Quan picked an auspicious day and held a boot ceremony in Hengdian, worshiping both the civil and military gods of wealth, Guan Er Ye and Zhao Gongming.
On her own territory, these gods still need to be respected. Although the country now advocates science and opposes feudal superstition, these are, after all, thoughts carved into the bones, which are not so easily removed.
After the boot ceremony was held, the various information about the movie also began to be gradually revealed on the internet, including the plot summary, the lead actor list, and various highlights.
The clothing video Miss Luo Quan filmed a few days ago also became the video with the highest click-through rate among this information.
Before, she said that the investment in this movie would be very large. At that time, fans racked their brains and didn't know how large the investment in an urban comedy without special effects shots could be.
Now looking at the video, good heavens, many of the clothes in these three big boxes are limited editions or out-of-print designs from major top luxury brands, belonging to the kind that will never produce new products for sale. This time, they were all taken out for Miss Luo Quan to film the movie, which is truly shocking.
This kind of face might be exchangeable with money, after all, capital is profit-seeking, but including so many classic clothes of brands, the money that needs to be paid must be an astronomical figure.
However, according to Miss Luo Quan, this is only the first part of the investment, and the second part of the investment will be larger, even several times the former!
This makes everyone very curious about what it will be.
With such an eye-catching video for marketing, the popularity of "The Queen Who Wears Chanel" began to rise. Because it focuses on themes such as women, fashion, and the workplace, it has even greater topicality on Weibo and Douban than on Bilibili.
However, Miss Luo Quan herself didn't do much marketing in these places, it was completely relying on marketing accounts to help, but this didn't affect the trend of the movie being popular before filming.
Originally, Miss Luo Quan was going to devote herself to filming, promoting while producing. However, two sudden happy events made her stop all the work in her hands.
"Aunt Luo is pregnant, and is about to hold a wedding with Uncle Eric?!" Seeing Wen Xia's eyes widened like copper bells when she heard these things her friend told her.
"I just found out about this too." Miss Luo Quan had an uncontrollable smile on her face. She was happy for her mother from the bottom of her heart.
The only thing to note is that her mother is already an older pregnant woman at this age, but she has always been very healthy. With a little attention to maintenance, there won't be any big problems.
"Five days later, the wedding will be held in Provence, France. You and Aunt Wen are also invited to attend. I have already booked the tickets, hurry up and pack your luggage." Miss Luo Quan didn't give her friend room to refuse, directly urging her to pack her change of clothes quickly.
In fact, Seeing Wen Xia had no reason to refuse.
Miss Luo Quan and Seeing Wen Xia's families used to be neighbors and lived together for so many years, so their relationship was quite deep. Not to say they were one family, but it was not much different.
Although Aunt Luo is older, this is also the first time she has held a wedding. This ceremony, which had been owed for more than ten years, was finally made up. Seeing Wen Xia and Seeing Wen Xia's mother would attend for both reason and emotion.
As for Miss Luo Quan, she had actually been in a state of being both surprised and happy.
All of this was really without any warning. When she knew about this, she was completely unprepared, and even felt that her mother's decision to hold a wedding was a bit rushed.
In her view, the wedding of her mother and father should be held more grandly.
Miss Luo Quan had heard her mother say more than once that the best wedding in her mind was to be accompanied by the best orchestra and priest, wear the most beautiful wedding dress, walk into the hall accompanied by the most beautiful bridesmaid, and make a vow of eternal love with the person she loves most.
But after so many years, when all this really came, the venue for the wedding was just a monastery in a valley in Provence. With Miss Luo Quan's lack of geographical knowledge, she had never even heard of this place.
The priest was just a priest in the monastery, and the witnesses invited were not many, just the relatives on both sides, adding up to less than fifty people.
This was really too different from the grand and grand Miss Luo Quan imagined.
However, she soon felt relieved. After so many years, her mother had long passed the age of being full of fantasies and longing like a young girl.
When she was young, her mother might have hoped that her sweetheart would be a world-shaking hero who could ride colorful clouds to marry her.
But in the years when she met her father again, her mother had few opportunities to even get news of her father.
Now that she has seen the light of day, she probably doesn't crave too many things anymore, and she is satisfied with just holding a simple wedding ceremony.
However, as a daughter, Miss Luo Quan does not allow her mother's wedding to be held so simply. Even if it cannot be made into a century wedding that shocks the world, it must be recorded in the history of music of various countries in the future!
The ticket Miss Luo Quan booked was for noon the next day. That night, she worked overnight to record several pieces of music, ready to play them at the wedding.
The next day, Miss Luo Quan and Seeing Wen Xia left the crew that had just started filming and went straight to the airport.
Of course, as a director, Miss Luo Quan didn't just walk away.
Before leaving, she still gave instructions to the assistant director. The plot with the two of them would be temporarily stopped, and the female lead and other people's shots would be filmed first, and the rest would be discussed when she came back.
These are actually common operations on the set, not to say that the filming can't be done without one actor.
However, it is indeed a bit troublesome without the director. Although Miss Luo Quan had already told the assistant director how to film, there must still be a considerable gap compared to her own operation and control. It is a nail in the coffin that many shots need to be reshot after coming back.
However, these don't matter to Miss Luo Quan. Anyway, the crew's employees are paid by the day. The price she gives is the best in the country, and everyone wishes they could grind foreign work for a few more days.
After getting on the plane, Miss Luo Quan's heart calmed down a little, and she made up for her sleep.
Before getting on the plane, she had already seen the news on Twitter. The news of the wedding of the son of the chairman of Albert Company still spread.
Miss Luo Quan estimated that her father didn't have the idea of being low-key. For such a big thing as holding a wedding, such a big family must hope that the more people who know, the better. The more people who know, the more blessings are good.
Of course, it is not certain that an average capitalist would be able to harvest everyone's blessings, but this couple could be considered to have basked in the light of their own daughter, receiving congratulations from fans and passersby alike out of love for her.
The news received in the country was slightly slower, but at noon, the relevant news still made the hot search, but the title was slightly changed: "Miss Luo Quan's parents are going to hold a wedding!"
The comments quickly exceeded ten thousand, but most fans expressed that it was a false alarm:
"Scared me, I misread it and thought Miss Luo Quan was going to hold a wedding."
"It can be considered a happy event, congratulations to Miss Luo Quan and her parents."
"I have always liked Miss Luo Quan's father and mother. The beauty of this family is quite high, but it's a pity that neither of them is a star."
"Don't say, maybe this family will really film a movie or something for you in the future."
"Wouldn't that be the movie with the highest beauty of actors in history. (Dog head)"
"No need to add a dog head, this is the one with the highest beauty."
"By the way, where is Miss Luo Quan now? I didn't see her post an update."
"If it's a private matter, there's no need to post an update for everything."
"It is estimated that she got on the plane."
………………
Miss Luo Quan was indeed on the plane, and she had already slept.
However, because this trip was relatively far, she should have just gone abroad now.
This trip, they had to fly from Jiangnan to Paris first. Even if they didn't transfer, it would take twelve hours to arrive. If they needed to transfer, it would be about twenty hours.
And after arriving in Paris, they had to transfer to the high-speed rail to Provence, which would take another two hours.
It can be said that this journey was quite long. China is basically the most remote place among the guests invited this time, needing to cross the entire Eurasian continent. The United States is not far after crossing the Atlantic.
It was also considering that they had to take such a long plane and high-speed rail, so Miss Luo Quan sent her clothing size to her mother before getting on the plane, so that she could start making bridesmaid dresses immediately.
This wedding, she will serve as her mother's bridesmaid and walk into the church or monastery with her, and the second younger brother will also be the father's best man.
Generally speaking, this should be served by the bride and groom's best friends. However, the couple chose to let their children do this, which can be considered a tacit understanding.
As for the specific implementation, the effect should also be very good.
This brother and sister will overshadow the limelight of the main couple no matter who they are the best man or bridesmaid for, but only their own father and mother will not. After all, heaven and earth are big, who can be bigger than their own parents?
Judging from the beauty of this family of four, it will inevitably become a good story after the wedding.
To be honest, this is also the scene Miss Luo Quan is most looking forward to at present. She has always wanted to experience what it feels like to get married, but she has never had the opportunity.
Although this is a Western-style wedding, not the Chinese-style wedding she likes most, each has its own merits, as long as the sense of ritual is in place.
It's just that this time she is not wearing a wedding dress as the main person, but as a bridesmaid.
"Luoluo, what do you think our wedding will look like in the future?" Seeing Wen Xia had been watching videos on her phone after getting on the plane.
This was a few documentaries called century weddings that she downloaded from the internet before getting on the plane. Inside, there are weddings of world superstars, weddings of the world's richest people, and weddings of royal nobles. They are all Western-style, without exception, all luxurious and grand to the extreme, and the cost of each one starts at hundreds of millions of RMB.
Before this, Seeing Wen Xia had never thought about what her wedding would look like. Like her friend Miss Luo Quan, she had not yet met a boy who could make her heart beat.
However, unlike Miss Luo Quan, Miss Luo Quan has no needs in this regard at all, Seeing Wen Xia just simply has no good goals.
Like most girls, she also longs for love and weddings, but she has been busy with her career all these years and hasn't had much imagination in this regard.
Now that she suddenly encountered her friend's mother holding a wedding, Seeing Wen Xia couldn't help but let her thoughts drift on the plane.
In common terms, this girl is a bit moved, but the comedy is that she can't find an object to be moved by at all.
"The extreme of a Western-style wedding is those in your phone. No matter how grand it is, it won't be much bigger. However, some innovations can be made in the details, such as the groom descending from the sky by helicopter, or the bride and groom in the sea, diving to hold a wedding."
"That's a good idea!" Seeing Wen Xia has always liked diving. Her eyes lit up when she heard her friend's suggestion.
"However, you have to find a shallower and clearer water." Seeing Wen Xia added, "By the way, what does the wedding in your mind look like?"
"Me?" Miss Luo Quan's green onion-like white jade fingers rested on her beautiful chin, thinking carefully: "In the past, the thought of this in my mind was probably in a church, reading vows in front of a priest, that is, you are willing, I am willing."
"However, there are too many such weddings now. Following the crowd is not my style. Moreover, you also know that I am very traditional."
"Are you talking about doing that set of our ancestors?" In Seeing Wen Xia's mind, she immediately thought of the unified big red wedding clothes of the bride and groom in ancient costume film and television dramas, the bride wearing a red hijab on her head, the groom wearing a black high hat, and a loud-voiced matchmaker next to her shouting "First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to the high hall."
I don't know why, but this scene, which was originally very serious, made her feel quite funny.
However, if Luoluo could wear a gorgeous phoenix crown and rosy cape, apply bright red rouge, point cinnabar, and kou dan, and then draw a smoke-like eyebrow, how beautiful it would be.
Seeing Wen Xia just thought about that scene and felt goosebumps all over her body. The picture was too beautiful for her to dare to look at.
"Don't think it's boring just because you see that set of ancestors too much. The grand scene of a serious Chinese-style wedding is no smaller than the Western one. What ten miles of red makeup is a small scene. In this society, you don't have to be afraid of exceeding the system. It's not impossible to follow the specifications of an ancient emperor marrying a wife." Miss Luo Quan said, and opened the video on her phone to show Seeing Wen Xia.
Like her friend, Miss Luo Quan also downloaded some wedding videos, but they were all Chinese-style. The complexity of the procedures and the beauty of the scene were no less than the Western-style, and they were also more in line with the aesthetics of the Chinese people.
It's just that a serious Chinese-style wedding is actually more expensive than an ordinary ritual wedding, so now there are really not many ordinary people who use the etiquette passed down by their ancestors, and most rich people choose Western-style to reflect their status.
Miss Luo Quan is not criticizing anything, after all, individuals have their own preferences and choices.
And her choice is a Chinese-style wedding.
"It is indeed very beautiful." Seeing Wen Xia watched for a while and said sincerely. Her heart also underwent some changes, and she suddenly felt that using a Chinese-style wedding should also be a very good choice.
Of course, whether it is Western-style or Chinese-style, for these two girls who have just turned twenty, it is still a bit too early. ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
