Chapter 592: Not That Easy
Facts proved that these were all Luo Quan's wishful thinking.
The system she got itself wasn't a combat system that could make people become immortals. The system itself had told her this point.
Even if she was lucky later and absorbed the peer in the Imperial Jade Seal, she didn't get much improvement, and the current environment on Earth didn't support it to exert much effect.
Therefore, the system currently didn't even have a reward system matching the super-powered world. The Dou Qi cultivation method given to Luo Quan was a randomly issued one. Even the system itself didn't know where it came from or what effect it had.
As for cultivating Dou Qi, that was even more remote.
The reason why the Age of Dharma's End was called the Age of Dharma's End was because spiritual power was exhausted, and all living beings lost the possibility of cultivating into immortals. This point, even the system couldn't change.
Therefore, although Luo Quan finally got the cultivation method she had been thinking about, it was actually of no use. It was just slightly more powerful than radio gymnastics, military boxing, and the like.
However, just as the system said, what if she was lucky enough to practice it one day? Anyway, this thing was also good for the body. Even if it was purely used as exercise, it was more efficient than jumping rope, running, sit-ups, and so on.
In general, this set of 【Covenant Dou Qi】 couldn't be said to be of no use at all.
As for whether 【Covenant Dou Qi】 had anything to do with 【Sword of Promised Victory】, Luo Quan judged that it didn't.
Artoria's treasure ultimate move was ultimately something fictionalized in anime; it definitely couldn't appear in reality.
However, if she could really practice Dou Qi, she could imitate it, but it was absolutely impossible to reach the scale and power in the anime. After all, it was difficult to condense even a trace of Dou Qi now.
According to the cultivation method of Covenant Dou Qi in her mind, Luo Quan tried to sense the so-called spiritual energy in the air and assimilate and absorb it.
However, after closing her eyes, her consciousness was like a stone sinking into the sea, and soon sleepiness surged into her heart.
Yawning, Luo Quan helplessly realized that perhaps there was really no spiritual power in this world anymore.
According to the cultivation method, after inputting consciousness, she could soon sense the existence of Qi, but she only felt as if she were playing the lute to a stubborn stone.
It wasn't even playing the lute to a cow; at least if you suddenly played a high note, the cow could raise its head and look at you. What feedback could you get from playing to a stone? Not every stone hid a Sun Wukong inside.
After trying for about ten minutes, Luo Quan's enthusiasm, which was full of expectations at the beginning, gradually cooled down.
Sure enough, wanting to become a superman was still impossible.
However, it wasn't without gains. She just got a way to exercise her body that was far superior to radio gymnastics, and it could also be considered as indirectly reducing some burdens for herself.
After all, if the mission she received this time was again filming a movie or releasing an album, and the reward was very generous, she really had no reason to refuse.
At that time, it would be another mission that must be completed, and she would be busy for a good while again.
The keynote of this year was basically: every time she finished being busy, she said she would take a good rest for a while, but every time it was that she had to start working immediately after a few days.
Compared to last year, Luo Quan felt a bit of fatigue. After *Frozen* was finished filming this year, she had to give herself a proper long vacation.
Hopefully this time, it wouldn't be that she had to start working again after playing for a few days...
After *Frozen* was approved, the discussion online had always been very high. After all, the gimmick of sister and brother performing together was very rare in the whole film circle.
However, Luo Quan said at the beginning that Yu Luoquan wouldn't appear in person this time, which made a group of fans a bit disappointed.
In the last movie, Yu Luoquan had a disfiguring performance, and his handsome appearance wasn't revealed at all. This time it was even more powerful; he didn't appear in person at all. How could a group of fans accept this?
However, the one who said this was Luo Quan—Yu Luoquan's own sister. No matter how angry they were, they could only endure it. Besides, Yu Luoquan also took the initiative to explain that this was his attempt to challenge a new field, which was performing in a motion capture suit.
Similar technology wasn't rare in Hollywood special effects blockbusters, among which *Planet of the Apes* was quite famous; all the apes in it were filmed in this way.
After announcing the actor's scenes, Luo Quan also generally introduced the type of the film.
This was a beautiful fairy tale, mainly telling about love and family affection. There were princes and princesses, but it wasn't a cliché Disney-style story of a princess falling in love with a prince and the prince saving the princess.
Disney expressed that it was inexplicably "cued" and looked very innocent.
The Disney of this life was still a giant in the animation industry in the last century, having contributed countless classic movies and anime images. However, because it insisted on hand-drawn painting and its thinking was conservative, it missed the technological innovation at the end of the last century.
Pixar, DreamWorks, and other 3D animation companies caught up from behind and almost monopolized the animated movie industry, winning almost all the Oscar Best Animated Feature awards from 2005 to this year.
The only 2D animation to win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature was *Spirited Away*, released last year.
As for Disney, after several 2D animations were released and both box office and awards flopped, it decisively chose to switch to filming commercial live-action movies.
After acquiring Marvel, Disney started the production of superhero movies and earned a lot of money. The Marvel Universe could be said to be one of the most profitable superhero IPs currently. Although the Superman and Batman mastered by DC were national-level IPs, they really couldn't compare to Marvel's characters in terms of making money.
Although Disney after the transformation didn't touch the animation industry much, the princes and princesses it created were still wonderful memories that all Westerners born in the 80s and 90s couldn't erase.
The reason why a fairy tale was called a fairy tale was because it gathered all the truth, goodness, and beauty in the world and was a story woven specifically for pure children.
In a fairy tale, justice must defeat evil, the protagonist must be able to harvest love, and get a happy ending.
In this world, there was no "dark, deep, and cruel," nor were there any big truths; there were only the most simple and true emotions.
Of course, liking fairy tales in childhood didn't mean you would still like them when you grew up. Some fairy tales were actually very illogical if you thought about them carefully. Looking back at fairy tales now, you would usually feel they were a bit childish.
Therefore, when Luo Quan officially announced that she was going to film a fairy tale, the melon-eating masses knew that she was going to start "making moves" again.
Now everyone knew that this genius always liked to create from an entry point that peers wouldn't consider at all, and even if she was questioned, she could always succeed in the end.
This time was no exception. Fairy tales were obviously a niche theme that no one in the film circle had tried for a long time.
No one filmed it, which meant the market wasn't interested, and without a market, it meant no money could be made.
However, it was said that Luo Quan herself was full of confidence. In the live-stream, she said that this might be her most profitable movie to date.
Although no one knew where her confidence came from, considering her talent and the fruitful results so far, no one would jump out to question her now.
But speaking of which, the looks of the three sister-brother-sister Luo Quan were very reasonable for acting in fairy tales.
Any one of these three walking out—was there any difference from the princesses and princes in fairy tales?
It was estimated that even those real princesses and princes in history couldn't compare to them, not to mention that if they were serious, they weren't without royal blood.
Therefore, the sense of substitution for acting in such roles would be very strong. As long as the picture was made exquisite and the story was slightly exciting and not cliché, the effect filmed would definitely be beautiful, and wanting to make money wasn't a difficult thing.
As for whether the plot could be raised to a higher level and tell a story with depth and not childishness, it depended on the ability of Luo Quan, the director and screenwriter.
As for special effects, the "Digital World" studio under Universal was responsible for special effects production this time. It was one of the top ten special effects studios in the world, had produced special effects for most of Universal's movies, and had won multiple Oscars.
Although there was some gap with the famous Industrial Light & Magic, the gap wasn't particularly large.
It was worth mentioning that this studio had spread news a month ago that it had received a big order, and more than half of the studio's staff had been invested in production. If there were no accidents, this order should be *Frozen*.
After special effects were produced for a month, the crew also released news of the official start of filming. Everyone came to the woods on the outskirts of Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, located in the southeast corner of Nevada, used to start snowing only at the end of October, and it would snow for five months until it stopped in March of the following year.
However, this year's snow came earlier, and by mid-October, the earth was already covered in silver.
The movie was called *Frozen*, so there must be a large number of ice and snow scenes. Luo Quan looked for several places before positioning this as the filming location for the movie.
Las Vegas was a world-famous gambling city. Every day, countless rich people and beauties would come here to throw money. However, these people who were addicted to the world of debauchery never knew that the woods on the outskirts of the gambling city were also intoxicatingly beautiful after being covered by heavy snow.
Although it snowed, the air couldn't be said to be particularly cold. However, for the sake of insurance, Luo Quan came here to film this time. Besides wearing down jackets and cold-proof clothes, she also brought a large number of clothes, tents, food, snow off-road vehicles, and trucks.
This was so that in case of bad weather and snow blocking the road, the crew would have enough supplies to hold out until rescue arrived.
In fact, the crew's filming location was only a few kilometers away from Las Vegas. Many people in the city would come here for a stroll during morning jogging.
Moreover, the crew usually finished filming around four or five in the afternoon and returned to the city to spend the night, so basically there were no major safety hazards.
But "caution is the parent of safety," renting a few more cars wouldn't cost much money.
Besides this, the crew was also equipped with a medical team and a bodyguard team.
The medical team was used to deal with situations like frostbite and snow blindness, while the bodyguard team was to protect everyone's safety.
After all, this was a gambling city, full of desires. There were many people walking on the edge of the law. In case they met a few gamblers who lost their minds and wanted to make money to win back their capital, having bodyguards was also a way to deal with it.
The bodyguard team was temporarily arranged by Eric. He heard that his three children were going to Las Vegas to film, so he sent such a group of people without saying a word.
Although he said that they generally wouldn't meet gamblers who went to extremes, who could say for sure about future things?
After preparing everything, more than 150 people marched to Las Vegas and then drove more than a dozen cars out of the city.
This scene actually surprised the residents of the gambling city. They had seen the scene of motorcades entering the city to gamble many times, but this was the first time they had seen them going out of the city to camp.
After arriving at the filming location, Luo Quan, wrapped like a fat bear, took out her phone with difficulty and looked at the signal.
Three bars; there was no problem. In addition, there was a satellite phone in the car. If the mobile phone really had no signal, there was a backup plan.
"So beautiful." Angela wore something slightly lighter than her sister and looked less bloated, jumping around in the snow.
Living by the sea, she often surfed and dived, but she rarely went to the snow and didn't know how to ski. Seeing such beautiful snow scenery this time, she also felt it was quite novel.
"Sis, how many layers are you wearing?" Yu Luoquan asked, looking cool and handsome with the collar of his windbreaker turned up. The few nurse ladies who followed were staring with green eyes.
"Wear more, don't catch a cold." Luo Quan said stubbornly.
She said so, but after filming started, she still had to take off most of her clothes.
Fortunately, the weather wasn't particularly cold. Sticking a few warm babies was still no big problem.
But cold was still cold, but actors had to endure hardships when they had to.
Before coming, Luo Quan also gave Angela a preventive shot. The sister said that her body had been strong since she was a child, and being cold for a while was nothing.
Actually, the character Angela played wouldn't be cold. The only human in the whole movie who had magic was Luo Quan.
That is to say, only she would run around in the ice and snow wearing a skirt with her shoulders and back exposed.
Others were ordinary people. Ordinary people, of course, wore as warmly as possible.
So in the end, only she herself might suffer a bit more.
While the staff were setting up light boards and clearing branches on the ground, Luo Quan took off her down jacket and began to adapt to the local climate.
After taking off the first piece, she was still wearing two sweaters and a warm bodysuit inside, which was still relatively warm.
Plus, she had been practicing yoga, so her physical fitness was actually quite good, so she didn't feel cold.
But in fact, another part of the reason was that her body fat was relatively thick, belonging to the type that looked thin in clothes but had meat when undressed.
And fat was the biggest tool to resist the cold.
In Russia, many people often dared to roll in the ice and snow wearing only underwear, relying on the fat they raised by eating meat in big mouthfuls.
Luo Quan definitely wasn't as exaggerated as those strong men, but compared to most girls who were like bare poles, her advantage was still relatively large.
Of course, the warm babies that should be stuck still had to be stuck.
After everything was ready, she changed into Elsa the Queen's beautiful big skirt. ===== CHAPTER 593 =====
