Chapter 598

The nickname "Human Divine Milk" was originally a description by fans of Luo Quan's blunt and accurate predictions, but later, for some reason, it became a compliment about her figure, and then changed back again.

It could be said that it was a series of twists and turns.

League of Legends players online all say that this time I Gaming's championship win is one-third thanks to Luo Quan, because she was infinitely optimistic about the LPL before the tournament started, and after GNR was eliminated, she stated directly that I Gaming would definitely crush their way to the championship.

In that kind of environment at the time, for Luo Quan to make such a bold and certain judgment was very unreasonable.

But it was precisely this unreasonableness that reflected her vision, which transcends that of ordinary people.

Or perhaps, this has something to do with her koi fish attribute?

But it doesn't matter anymore; anyway, I Gaming won the championship, and now looking back, no matter how much people praise her, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.

As for the GNR team, because the damage caused by their previous breakup was too severe, and their performance on the world stage was too outrageous, even though the LPL won the championship, they were still dragged out to be "flogged" posthumously.

There are championships every year, but the "scriptural classics" presented by the GNR team are not something that happens every year.

The heat of the championship win will last for about one or two weeks, and the capital market has also begun to notice the esports industry, which has already begun to show its potential; it is estimated that the first major investment is about to begin.

However, these things have nothing to do with Luo Quan, and she doesn't rely on this for a living.

After returning from Incheon and resting for a day, the *Frozen* crew continued to work.

Compared to the previous films, the filming progress of *Frozen* is much faster because many shots require special effects and need to be produced in post-production, so the work is relatively easier.

Anyway, they film for a fixed eight hours every day, so there is no need to rush.

In her spare time, Luo Quan would take that sword in her hand and swing it at the air a few times, whether she had something to do or not.

Like Saitama-sensei in *One-Punch Man*, who gained powerful strength through this kind of simple training.

Although she knows this is a plot in a manga, Luo Quan still wanted to follow the trend; what if it succeeded?

Moreover, there is indeed a sword-swinging training method in "Oath Battle Qi," so she isn't doing useless work.

It's just that what she thinks in her heart and the actual situation are different; although she has been swinging it every day for this past week, there hasn't been any special feeling.

If one had to say there was something, it would be that the muscles in her forearms seem to have become increasingly firm.

Seeing that there was no effect, Luo Quan could only helplessly stop this method.

On one hand, there was no effect, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she would really train a pair of "Qilin arms" and turn into a "King Kong Barbie," which would be too ugly.

Luo Quan has completely given up on the Battle Qi matter, and she probably won't go out of her way to practice it again in the future.

However, she won't delete the task directly; anyway, leaving it there doesn't take up any space.

During the time she was filming in Hollywood, the president of the University of Tokyo sent her an email to chat about the exchange student matter.

Luo Quan actually heard this rumor a long time ago, saying that there are many top music schools in the United States that want her to go over as an exchange student for a year.

If it were a month ago, she might have agreed; after all, she had nothing to do at that time and was relatively free, so she definitely wouldn't refuse getting a degree.

But now she is full of exhaustion, just waiting to finish filming the remaining plot of *Frozen* so she can give herself a winter vacation, so being an exchange student or whatever, let's just forget it.

Thus, Luo Quan tactfully expressed to the president her thought that she didn't want to be an exchange student anymore.

The president didn't force her, only telling her to prepare well for her graduation thesis.

The next afternoon, the second episode of *Will You Listen to My Song? * began recording, and Luo Quan, who was in the United States, continued to serve as a mentor via video call.

For this episode, the production team originally wanted the contestants to adapt classic songs, but this proposal was rejected by Luo Quan.

She believes that the reason a classic is called a classic is because it is already very good in all aspects, and it has also left a unique mark in the hearts of the public.

Rashly adapting them will inevitably be thankless work.

And after the adaptation is finished, it is inevitable that it will be compared with the original version, which is equivalent to a public execution.

Although most of the contestants in the show are very talented, they are still young after all, and it is still too early to directly adapt classic songs; after all, many singers who have already become famous might not necessarily be able to handle this task well.

So Luo Quan feels that if the show is filmed this way, not only will the adapted songs likely not sound good, but it will also trigger considerable controversy.

After much discussion, the director decided to cancel this segment and change it to random topic composition.

It still tests the singers' creative ability, but this time they cannot use their stock; they need to use the props provided by the production team to stimulate inspiration, and then create within less than five days.

The random topic drawing segment was already filmed four days ago; it was actually just putting boxes into a claw machine and letting the contestants grab them themselves.

Whatever is in the box they grab, that is the topic.

The imagery provided by the production team is actually quite extensive, including antiques, jewelry, ornaments, as well as banknotes, postcards, love letters, and even chalk, school uniforms, and books, involving quite a lot of aspects.

Five days is not long; it might be enough to write a set of lyrics, but writing a complete song is still a bit of a stretch.

So this segment actually still tests the singers' usual creative ability; at this time, they still have to take out their stock, but the lyrics need to be modified to fit the topic.

It should be noted that this episode is an elimination round; among the forty team members, the ten with the lowest scores will be eliminated. If they have any real skills, if they don't take them out now, they might not have any chance left.

Therefore, after the show started recording, the contestants' expressions appeared relatively serious, probably because they knew that if they didn't perform well in this round, they would have to leave directly.

It was precisely under this pressure that many contestants erupted with performances even more brilliant than in the first episode; compared to the first episode, the quality of the songs improved by at least one level!

The much-anticipated Hao Shuai is not the most brilliant one here, but he is definitely the one with the most personality.

Even with such a wonderful performance in the first episode, and still not being liked by the public judges, he did not choose to compromise with the market and still chose hardcore rock.

The quality of the song is very high, the lyrics are also very good, and the melody is not bad either; saying it stunned the whole audience wouldn't be an exaggeration.

It's just that the sound was too loud; judging from the expressions of many public judges at the scene, it is estimated that he has already gone far in this round.

After the song ended, the three mentors gave quite high scores, but the public judges still gave low scores as usual.

It was only because Luo Quan was a mentor and had to pay attention to the show's effect that she couldn't directly roast these people.

Otherwise, she really wanted to ask, can these people actually listen to music?

To be honest, this hardcore rock song by Hao Shuai was already enough to cater to pop music fans; the melody was definitely catchy, yet even so, it still couldn't get a high number of votes.

Probably only songs like *Learning to Bark Like a Dog* can resonate with them.

Luo Quan is not against "slop" songs, but she is against those "slop" songs that have no nutritional value at all.

However, under the bombardment of fast-food culture, these types of songs are the mainstream, and there is no other way.

Therefore, when Hao Shuai's score came out, from the mentors to the contestants, everyone stared with wide eyes and fell into silence.

Staring with wide eyes was because of surprise, and silence was because there was nothing to say.

After about a few seconds, Luo Quan on the screen asked Hao Shuai, who was smiling bitterly: "Are you feeling bad now?"

"Actually, I knew it would be this result, but when I really encountered it, it's impossible to say I'm not feeling bad." Hao Shuai managed to squeeze out a smile, "It's still a bit bad."

"The market is like this, the status quo is like this, there's no way even if you feel bad." Luo Quan said with a calm expression and tone: "And this status quo will continue for a quite long time, and it's also hard to get improved."

"I know, but I'm not afraid." Hao Shuai smiled very brightly this time, "My songs are only sung for those who know their value."

"That's how it should be." Luo Quan gave a look of approval, and at the same time looked at the students behind Hao Shuai, "I hope everyone can understand this truth, that the reason we work hard and struggle is not to change the world, but to not let ourselves be changed by this world.

I wish that many years from now, what you have done and what you thought of at the beginning are the same thing."

"Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap!" The whole audience burst into thunderous applause; Luo Quan, who loves to play the teacher, gave everyone a lesson once again.

However, although the words sounded good, the voting result had already been decided, and nothing could be changed.

At the end of the show, the students' scoring results came out; Hao Shuai, who had been praised but not popular for two consecutive episodes, although he got good scores from the mentors, his results here with the public judges were not ideal, ranking thirty-first, just enough to be eliminated.

It is worth mentioning that the production team prepared two rescue spots for the elimination segment, which is for the three mentors to discuss and pull back two eliminated students.

However, Hao Shuai took the initiative to propose not to take this spot and let it go to other students.

In fact, Luo Quan was already prepared to announce that Hao Shuai would return.

But hearing him make such a decision, everyone wasn't particularly surprised, because he himself is just like his songs, very full of personality.

Just like that, Hao Shuai, who was quite talented in rock, was eliminated.

After the competition, Luo Quan got Hao Shuai's contact information from the production team and asked him if he was interested in coming to her company to become her signed artist.

However, the answer she got was a polite refusal; this was the second time she had been rejected by a boy, the last time was Zhao Xilin, who was also a young person favored by the system.

Perhaps capable boys nowadays don't like to live under someone else's roof? Luo Quan, full of doubts, could only come to this answer in her heart.

However, although Hao Shuai refused, he still expressed sincere gratitude for Luo Quan's appreciation and her care for him during the show.

As for the road ahead, he had already thought about how to walk it, and if there is a chance in the future, he will definitely repay Luo Quan.

If nothing unexpected happens, Luo Quan probably won't need to use this favor.

However, building good karma with people is definitely not a bad thing, and Hao Shuai is clearly a stock with potential; becoming popular is just a matter of time, it just needs a simple opportunity.

Ending the call, Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "It's really hard to sign a capable person now."

But come to think of it, her signing invitations to female artists have all been successful so far, but all those to boys have failed, which makes her very puzzled.

Logically speaking, her temptation to boys should be doubled, but as a result, this has been the situation twice in a row.

Thinking for a long time without figuring it out, Luo Quan simply stopped considering it.

For the next three days, Luo Quan accelerated the filming progress, striving to finish all the plot before October 20th, and then let the special effects production company start working.

She calculated that with the manpower and strength of Universal, it would take at most a month and a half to get it done.

*Frozen* will definitely be released on Christmas; for a film of this theme, it's impossible to miss one of the most important holidays in the West, and the atmosphere also matches so well.

If the special effects production goes smoothly, she will have about ten days to carry out publicity work; with her and Lyon's fame, plus Universal's marketing ability, ten days is basically enough.

And just as the filming of *Frozen* was nearing its end, *The Lord of the Rings 2* also announced that it had wrapped up.

This big production, which took nearly a year to film, has even more magnificent war scenes than the first one, which is the Battle of Helm's Deep.

Interestingly, the only designated heroine, Luo Quan, has even less screen time in the second part than in the first, basically not showing her face much.

She received the news of filming during the summer vacation; going to and from New Zealand plus filming, it took a total of five days, which really made her feel quite unsatisfied.

For such an epic masterpiece, she didn't have any brilliant scenes.

And she experienced a similar situation once in *Titanic*.

However, by comparison, *The Lord of the Rings* is still better than the big ship; at least she still holds the title of heroine and has a few minutes of plot.

Unlike the big ship, where she only appeared for a few seconds, and it was a special appearance.

It can only be said that other people's big productions are other people's after all; she is just a participant, not the producer, so the screen time is decided by them.

Only works that she directs and acts in herself can control the appearance time.

After *The Lord of the Rings 2* wrapped up, the remaining two months or so will be for editing and special effects production; Director Ford expects it to be released on January 1st.

Originally, he wanted to compete for the Oscars with this trilogy, but last year he encountered the ultimate politically correct film *Green Book*, this year he encountered *Titanic*, and there was also an against-the-heaven *The Silence of the Lambs*; these films were one fiercer than the other.

Although *The Lord of the Rings 2* is also good, it is not good enough to be invincible, so he plans to drag the film to be released next year to compete for the Oscars the year after next.

However, he doesn't know what kind of works will be waiting for him next year.

But even if he knew, Director Ford probably wouldn't particularly care; after all, he still has a "king bomb" that he hasn't taken out, which is the final work of the *Lord of the Rings* series that is about to start filming, which is *The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King*!
