Chapter 589: Frozen
"'Apologize' boldly incorporates classical music elements; it is another fusion song of Miss Luo Quan's classical and pop. However, compared to 'Time to Say Goodbye,' the singing style of this song is relatively ordinary, so it is not as excellent as 'Time to Say Goodbye' in terms of listening experience.
But as a pop song, this is a quite good work."
This was the music review made by *Rolling Stone* magazine. After naming Miss Luo Quan the greatest singer of the new century, this was also the first time the two sides interacted.
Of course, *Rolling Stone* magazine was basically the active party. Miss Luo Quan rarely interacted with these media. It wasn't because of being cold or anything; it was purely because she was relatively lazy. Besides news from friends and family, she basically didn't pay much attention to them.
However, *Rolling Stone* had recently helped her gain a huge wave of popularity and given her such a resounding honor; if she were to be lazy again, it wouldn't be very justifiable.
Chinese people pay attention to reciprocity. People have been praising you and showing goodwill; she definitely wasn't the kind of person who wouldn't want to show any expression after taking the benefits.
So Miss Luo Quan forwarded this music review and added: "Thank you *Rolling Stone* magazine for your consistent support and fair evaluation. I also hope your magazine will get better and better."
As everyone knew, Miss Luo Quan's blessing was a causality weapon. Those she had praised or blessed were now quite popular.
Even the national football team, in the World Cup full of strong enemies, was still divided into the weakest group and even defeated the Asian powerhouse South Korea.
Although it couldn't be said to be all her credit, there were more or less some factors in it. Psychological factors were also factors, right?
As for Miss Luo Quan's most recent exertion of power, it was the S8 Global Finals. After GNR and EDG lost, Miss Luo Quan posted an update and firmly "nursed" them, saying that the LPL would definitely win the championship this time.
In a situation where most people were relatively bearish on iG, this update of Miss Luo Quan's indeed had the meaning of "going against the heavens." However, when everyone saw her say this, the anxiety in their hearts suddenly let go by more than half.
Now that Miss Luo Quan exerted her power again, netizens at home and abroad saw it and expressed their envy with real names:
"Miss Luo Quan's blessing, this is simply the Kiss of the Goddess of Luck in the game. *Rolling Stone* magazine is going to make a fortune."
"The road is wide."
"So that's how the nickname 'Human Godly Nurse' came about. I didn't know before."
"Uh, the truth inside might not be that simple. (Funny)"
"I remember this nickname appeared after Miss Luo Quan came back from the Maldives, but not long after it came out, it was strongly banned by Miss Luo Quan. Anyone who dared to shout it in the live-stream room was directly banned for a year, with an intensity comparable to 'Abyssal Maw'."
"So why? I feel this is a complimentary term."
"Go see Miss Luo Quan's photo book *Aphrodite by the Sea*. After reading it, you will understand. This nickname is the evaluation of fans all over the world who are so impressed by Miss Luo Quan's figure that they prostrate themselves."
"It's too vulgar! I wanted to rebuke her like this, but she is really too big."
"Now I understand. That's it for Twitter today."
This was the reason she was lazy. No matter what content she posted, the comment section would always turn into this.
But there was no way; "LSP" (lecherous fans) were the primary productive force.
The next day, Miss Luo Quan found a hotel and invited Angela over.
It had been agreed before to check Angela's acting skills, but because there were many things recently, it was postponed.
Considering that the filming was about to start, Miss Luo Quan had to see what Angela's level was first, and then find a way to remedy it.
However, the plot of *Frozen* was relatively simple, and there were no high requirements for the actors' acting skills. Moreover, a considerable part of the scenes were presented in the form of musicals.
Acting was something that could be learned quickly, but singing couldn't. No matter how good the talent was, it required years of practice, not to mention singing musicals, which had higher requirements than ordinary singing.
So to ensure quality, Miss Luo Quan would replace Angela's singing voice with dubbing.
The acting test Miss Luo Quan set for her sister wasn't difficult either: it was a crying scene, plus making a sad expression.
These were relatively basic performances, but at the same time, they were also the most important. Almost no movie would lack these performances. While simple, they were also the most testing of an actor's skill.
Wanting to keep crying scenes from being superficial required talent and technique. Among the young actors in China, acting crying scenes well was still a difficult problem.
"Acting a crying scene, right?" Angela heard the director sister's request, nodded, and then walked to Miss Luo Quan.
According to the books, there were several types of crying. What Angela showed was the relatively difficult silent crying, using her eyes to express the inner sorrow, and then mobilizing her emotions to shed tears.
The whole process was very natural and smooth, completely unlike a novice who had just learned to perform.
Especially that look in her eyes—clearly the expression wasn't particularly big, but the sorrow almost overflowed.
When the emotions brewed to the peak, two lines of crystal-clear tears flowed out from those eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
"Clap, clap, clap!" Miss Luo Quan nodded while applauding. "Very good performance. This can already be compared to some students in acting majors."
"Is it that amazing?" Angela's face turned slightly red.
She had been praised by people around her since she was a child, and her family had always regarded her as their pride, so Angela had always felt that she was a very smart person.
However, compared to her sister, she felt that she still had a big gap.
And acting was different from things like taking exams that had objective answers; there was no standard answer, and it needed to be evaluated by the audience.
So, even Angela, who had always been confident, still felt a bit unsure about how her acting skills were after reading so many books and practicing so many times.
Fortunately, hearing her sister's praise now, Angela finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"It's really quite amazing." Miss Luo Quan nodded affirmatively. "Better than many first-line stars in our country. This crying scene of yours wouldn't be practiced by ordinary people without two or three years of effort. It can be said that you are quite talented."
"I've only read books for a few months, can I also be better than those actors?" Angela's small face was full of big doubts. "Logically, to become a first-line star, their abilities shouldn't be bad. I think Brother Yu Miss Luo Quan acts quite well."
"Uh, I can only say that the situation inside is more complicated." Miss Luo Quan smiled helplessly. "Because the celebrity industry isn't about having strength to become popular, nor does it mean you have strength if you are popular. Some just know how to hype; they don't have acting skills themselves, but they are still more popular and make more money than those Best Actors.
I can only say that this situation exists both at home and abroad, but it's slightly more serious in China."
"By the way, are there any things to pay attention to when being a celebrity? Like words and deeds?" Angela hadn't chased stars and didn't understand the rules and secrets in the entertainment industry too well.
But she knew that this circle was glamorous on the surface, but had a lot of filth inside.
In addition, this vanity fair would have a lot of rhythm and turmoil. Most people in this circle could sell many things for fame and fortune.
And those audiences outside the circle were also of mixed quality.
If you could harvest fans, you would of course get a bunch of support. Whenever there was a work coming out, fans would automatically gather to praise it in various ways.
This feeling of being recognized was definitely very comfortable, and no matter what you did wrong, it could be washed away.
But on the other hand, after becoming popular, you would inevitably harvest a bunch of "black fans" (haters). No matter what you did, you would be attacked. In the eyes of these haters, it seemed that even your breathing was wrong.
This was unavoidable. Even a "perfect person" like Miss Luo Quan would be scolded by haters, and the outrageous things were all groundless.
For example, being too beautiful, causing anxiety about female figure and appearance.
Or singing too well, squeezing the living space of peers, not giving them a way to live.
Even, donating too much money, making you look rich, as if others didn't donate as much as you, so their character was not good.
It was precisely some such outrageous black spots that still had quite a few people online deeply convinced.
No way, there were too many people on Earth, and everyone had their own ideas. It was impossible for an artist to make everyone like them.
Miss Luo Quan saw through this point very early, so she had long since lost the feeling of being scolded by haters. When she met them, she could even interact with them with a cheeky face.
However, Miss Luo Quan could do it, but it didn't mean others could.
Like Chunzi, Yuner, or even old seniors like Wen Xia, they had all cried because of being scolded, and even felt sad for a period of time.
Some people could see through it, others might not. This was entirely about a person's mentality.
"First of all, as an artist, your stress resistance must be strong." Miss Luo Quan raised a finger and pointed it at her sister.
"How do you say that specifically?"
Miss Luo Quan said seriously: "The celebrity industry will be watched by all kinds of people. Where there is attention, there will be comments.
And these comments, some will praise you, some will scold you, and they will scold you very nastily."
"How nasty?" Angela was curious.
"My public opinion is relatively good, and there aren't many people scolding me, but the popularity is there, so there are quite a few comments scolding me." Miss Luo Quan said while opening Twitter, clicking into her latest update, opening the folded comments one by one, and then holding them in front of her sister.
"Oh... my... god..."
Angela opened her mouth wide, her eyes full of disbelief.
In the environment she was in, although she had always attended aristocratic schools, there were quite a few classmates around her who cursed, and there were many boys and girls.
Originally, she thought she already had a certain resistance to vulgar language, but after seeing these remarks her sister faced, she was directly stunned.
It was simply all-encompassing, scolding from all angles.
And it was much, much more vulgar than she imagined.
"These people are too outrageous." Angela frowned.
She knew her sister's fame: an internationally renowned great beauty, a great talent, a great philanthropist. When classmates learned that Miss Luo Quan was her sister, they often ran over to ask about her sister and wanted an autograph at the same time.
And this concern came from the whole class, the whole grade, and even the whole school. Besides students, it even included teachers.
Before this, Angela had always been a "star" at Columbia University—high looks, good family background, excellent grades, a good girl, and she had a beautiful wavy curl, almost an ideal girlfriend.
When classmates saw her, they would always involuntarily cast smiles and admiring eyes at her.
She had always thought that this was the highest treatment she could enjoy at Columbia.
But her sister's influence far exceeded the highest level she thought. Just hearing about her relationship with her sister made them act so crazy.
No, it couldn't be called crazy.
She had seen true madness when Yu Miss Luo Quan came to school to find her; all the girls in the school seemed to go crazy and rushed to the classroom she was in, and almost everyone was screaming.
This was madness.
And for Miss Luo Quan, classmates worshiped her more; seeing her was like seeing a god.
And even such a goddess would be scolded, and scolded so nastily.
While Angela couldn't understand, she was also thinking about what it would be like if she were hated.
"Don't think too much." Miss Luo Quan saw her sister lost in thought and patted her on the shoulder: "As a celebrity, being hated and scolded is a very normal thing. What you have to do is to do positive things as much as possible and maintain a correct and rational worldview on everything."
Don't get angry about the remarks of haters; just treat them as losers in life. If you really can't bear it, sue them directly; you'll definitely win every time."
"I know these." Angela nodded. "I knew this wasn't an easy road when I planned to enter this line, and I made certain psychological preparations.
It's just that I didn't expect that a successful celebrity like you, sister, would also be scolded. I'm thinking about how I can do well?"
"Just make most people like you." Miss Luo Quan looked at her sister gently. "A celebrity is a commodity. As long as you can make most fans and customers willing to pay for you and give good reviews, then we are successful."
Angela laughed: "This metaphor is quite vivid... A celebrity is a commodity, then sister must be the most popular and precious kind, and also a necessity."
"Haha, your flattery makes me a bit embarrassed." Miss Luo Quan's face was full of bright smiles, looking not embarrassed at all.
But speaking of which, this was the first time she had such a profound exchange with her sister, or rather, a heart-to-heart talk.
Although they only talked about what they would face after becoming a celebrity and what they should do, these words basically went into their hearts.
"This time your acting skills are basically up to standard. Go back and watch the musical, see how people do the movements, what characteristics they have, and imitate them." Miss Luo Quan began to teach her sister lip-syncing techniques.
"Musical? Oh, I remember, there are many of these in movies. I will learn and watch more." Angela was tone-deaf and really not very good at singing, so she could only lip-sync.
After giving instructions, the sisters left the hotel and went home. ===== CHAPTER 590 =====
