Chapter 663: Aesthetics

As usual, Miss Luo Quan continued to live broadcast the day after returning to China.

The Spring Festival holiday had ended, and most people had returned to their posts to work.

However, the students' winter vacation still had a few days left, which was no longer very abundant.

Therefore, the title of Miss Luo Quan's live broadcast room today was: Students, have you finished your winter vacation homework?

"Damn, I had a cardiopulmonary arrest as soon as I entered the live broadcast room!"

"Why do you want to remind me of this?"

"I haven't touched any of my six assignments, and school starts in less than ten days. I'll do one assignment in 1.6 days, it doesn't feel very difficult."

"You guys are quite optimistic."

"Luo Bao, evaluate the new movie 'Lion Dance'."

…………

In a pile of barrage discussing winter vacation homework, such a barrage suddenly appeared.

"Lion Dance?" Miss Luo Quan had been abroad for the past few days, and the only domestic hot spot she paid attention to was the Wang Lu incident.

"Is this another conscientious domestic product? Is our Chinese movie about to rise?" Miss Luo Quan said while searching on the browser.

"Haha, it's not too late for you to say this after watching it."

"I always feel like you are implying something. Do you really not know this movie?"

"If Chinese movies have to rely on this kind of stuff to rise, I'd rather it die immediately."

………………

The barrage suddenly became excited because of Miss Luo Quan's words, as if they were quite dissatisfied with the movie "Lion Dance".

And when Miss Luo Quan searched for the movie poster and finished watching the trailer, she fell silent.

"Wife, say something~"

"Miss Luo Quan is thinking in her heart: What kind of stuff is this."

"Haha, this character modeling directly silenced Miss Luo Quan."

"When I finished watching it, I had the same expression as Miss Luo Quan."

………………

The fans in the barrage were all joking, but actually, they were already angry.

"Is this domestic or filmed abroad?" Miss Luo Quan was silent for a long time and asked.

Actually, this question was clear at a glance under the promotion. From the director, producer to art, they were all domestic.

"It's a bit outrageous. How can our own people portray their own people like this?"

Miss Luo Quan's two beautiful eyebrows gradually had a trend of merging: "Abroad, this kind of portrayal should be a kind of RH (racist/insulting), especially this wide eye distance and slanted eyes."

"That's how it's said, but the movie creators don't think so."

"They think this is embodying cultural aesthetic confidence, not RH."

"The movie director also said it was taken from Yuezhou, and there are water armies washing it as a Chinese public face."

…………

Seeing the description in the barrage, Miss Luo Quan felt that this matter was a bit outrageous.

But without understanding the complete process, she didn't scold immediately, she could only say some conclusions she could be sure of:

"First of all, this is definitely not a public face, because didn't they say it was an advanced face before?"

Miss Luo Quan laughed, isn't this kind of face the advanced model face that many pro-foreigners praise? Now it has become a public face again. Isn't this self-contradictory?

"That's just how it is; right now, the country is arguing to the heavens over this matter."

"Those who support the movie say we are conservative, have no aesthetic level, and look at how foreigners are."

"Indeed, I want to scold people when I look at it."

"It belongs to the plaque that was kicked over by Brother Long back then, and these people picked it up themselves."

………………

It could be seen that the fans in the barrage were very angry.

But unfortunately, when the opposing side talks, it's about "summer insects cannot talk about ice," the aesthetic gap between the general public and professionals, and that the mob cannot represent authoritative experts, etc.

This kind of thing sounds very angry, but ordinary people really can't refute it by reasoning, because the opposing side itself is a bit unreasonable.

"Foreigners? That's just right. I happen to know a few friends in the foreign film industry. Isn't it just fine to connect directly and let them talk about their evaluation?"

Miss Luo Quan also had a sudden whim. Since these people feel they need to connect with international trends, she will use magic to defeat magic.

Soon, Miss Luo Quan sent a video request to Seifert on the computer.

It was 9:30 in the morning, and it wasn't particularly late in the United States. With Seifert's workaholic schedule, he definitely hadn't slept yet.

Sure enough, after about ten seconds, Seifert connected.

"Oh, my Oscar Best Actress, what are you doing looking for me with a video in the middle of the night?"

Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Seifert's appearance: "I'm live broadcasting to fans here, and I happened to encounter some problems, so I want to ask you for advice."

Hearing that she was live broadcasting, Seifert immediately became more serious: "If you have any questions, just say it, I will definitely know everything."

"Let me introduce to the fans first. This is Seifert, the deputy director of the marketing department of Universal Pictures. My brother Lyon was discovered and brought out by him, and he also serves as a gold-medal agent. His industry level is unquestionable." Miss Luo Quan raised her hands in a holding gesture and said solemnly.

"Cough cough!" Seifert straightened his tie and hairstyle and said sternly: "Let me correct it, I was promoted long ago, now I am the Minister of the Marketing Department!"

"Okay Minister, I will send a trailer to you now, you evaluate it." Miss Luo Quan sent the movie trailer link of "Lion Dance" over.

Seifert spent two minutes watching it, and then directly had a subway old man face:

"I see the Chinese written on it is 'Zheng Yue Shi Wu' (15th day of the first lunar month), shocking release, right? Doesn't it count as RH for China to use this kind of character image now?"

"Everyone look, a foreigner can see it." Miss Luo Quan spread her hands facing the camera.

"Does this still need a foreigner?" Seifert was stunned, "This should be a minefield, right? Not only China, but Chinese people all over the world would feel uncomfortable seeing this, right?"

"I work in this industry, and I have to consider the taboos of all countries, all races, and all beliefs. Anyway, if I were the boss, I would definitely take a toilet plunger and blow up the head full of shit of the modeler who made the character like this."

"Sorry to trouble you this time, you continue to be busy." Miss Luo Quan nodded and hung up the video with Seifert.

"One person's point of view might be one-sided, let me find another one to talk about, find a more authoritative one."

While speaking, Miss Luo Quan directly sent an invitation to Director Kanason.

Fans with good English saw Kanason's name and were startled, thinking, it wouldn't be that Kanason, right?

And after this new Oscar Best Director appeared on the screen, the barrage immediately boiled over.

"Damn, it's really Kanason!"

"Everyone says Miss Luo Quan doesn't know how to socialize and has no connections. Look at the people she knows?"

"Can you introduce him? I don't know much about the European and American entertainment industry."

"This is the director of 'Titanic', who just won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture."

"And it's not the first time he's won. He's a big shot among Hollywood big shots."

"Awesome."

………………

Director Kanason had been in a very good mood during this period. Seeing Miss Luo Quan, he also smiled. After understanding the intention of Miss Luo Quan's video, he also waved to greet the little partners of Bilibili first.

Unfortunately, Director Kanason didn't know any Chinese, so he could only say a half-baked: "Ni Hao."

According to the process, Miss Luo Quan didn't evaluate anything either, letting him watch the trailer of "Lion Dance" first.

Because of the difference in positions, Kanason's evaluation was also different from Seifert's.

Seifert focused more on the commercial revenue. For this kind of character modeling that would obviously affect the box office, he bluntly said he would fire the modeler who designed it.

And Kanason, as a director, saw the essence: "These directors probably want to win some awards in Hollywood."

The background of this sentence was based on the Oscar last year, where an Asian director won the Best Documentary.

The content filmed by that director was also somewhat sensitive, but because it catered to the appetite of some judges, he got the award.

And the current situation was probably similar to that time, nothing more than political correctness.

Smearing black people is discrimination, this is political correctness.

Smearing Chinese people is praised, which is also political correctness.

Although Director Kanason himself is also an American, he didn't have any scruples when saying this. Moreover, he himself almost became a victim of political correctness, and this year's Best Picture was almost blacked out.

Saying this now, it somewhat meant pointing at the mulberry to scold the locust.

"Actually, a big function of movies is to output ideological and cultural forms. The United States has long filmed individualistic hero movies to save the world, just to establish the image of Americans as great heroes for foreign countries."

"Movies can really subtly influence the audience, but many people don't realize this."

Director Kanason was very bold, but not bold enough. He talked about some key points, but didn't point them out directly.

Although he saw through it quite thoroughly, he was an American after all. Saying it to this point was already benevolent and righteous.

In a word, this director just wanted to win a few awards by catering to those professionals abroad, preferably Oscar Best Foreign Language Film or Oscar Best Animated Feature.

There were definitely no other ideas, because Seifert had already analyzed it from a commercial perspective. This movie would definitely flop if released in China, losing money to the point of bankruptcy.

If it's not for the box office, then it must be for winning awards.

The analysis was definitely easy to analyze, and the reason why Miss Luo Quan was so aggressive was to make this statement more authoritative.

Don't you all say you want to connect with the international community? Now, are the Minister of Marketing of Universal Pictures and the Oscar Best Director international enough?

After ending the video with Director Kanason, Miss Luo Quan enlarged the camera and said: "Now that it's finished, everyone should have a count in their hearts. If you meet someone who uses foreign countries to talk about things again, take this live broadcast recording and slap it on their face."

"In addition, I will say two sentences myself. First of all, there must be people in China who look like this, and aesthetics are also a matter of opinion. It doesn't have to look like me to be called beautiful."

Miss Luo Quan laughed, isn't this kind of face the advanced model face that many pro-foreigners praise? Now it has become a public face again. Isn't this self-contradictory?

"But, for some things that have long been concluded, some people still want to touch them again and again, that is either stupid or bad. I don't know the plot and box office of this movie, but seeing that it can be considered to have promoted traditional culture, I will go and watch it. I will give it a score after watching it."

Without the right to investigate, there is no right to speak. Miss Luo Quan decided to go to the cinema to see this masterpiece that was blown to the sky on foreign movie apps.

And during the time Miss Luo Quan went to the cinema, the content of the live broadcast also began to ferment rapidly on the internet.

Even if ordinary celebrities evaluated it, they couldn't make any waves, nothing more than being on the hot search for ten minutes and then having no follow-up.

But Miss Luo Quan's was different. The people invited to evaluate were relatively heavyweight, belonging to the authorities among authorities in the industry.

If both of them shook their heads, even if the movie wasn't as rubbish as imagined, there would definitely be big problems.

Soon, the netizens who had been very aggrieved after watching the trailer found an outlet for venting. They got the video and immediately opened fire:

"Come on, explain why foreign countries also feel this is RH?"

"What Seifert said is what I want to say. I really don't know what kind of stuff is in the brain of the person who designed this kind of modeling."

"So it was to please foreign judges, then everything makes sense."

"Released for twelve hours, box office 15.6 million. The Spring Festival file all broke records, but you are the most lagging. Don't you want to think about the reason?"

"I don't know how many living people are in this ten million."

………………

Just when it was noisy outside, Miss Luo Quan also encountered an awkward situation in the cinema.

She just said in the live broadcast room that she was going to the cinema to watch this movie.

Clearly when booking tickets, only a few people were sitting in hundreds of seats.

But when she arrived at the cinema, it was full.

The person who came in was Miss Luo Quan, wearing sunglasses, with a tall and hot figure, looking like she was not an ordinary person.

Damn, isn't this a fan meeting?

Feeling the eyes around her, Miss Luo Quan felt that her identity should be exposed.

After all, who wears sunglasses when entering a cinema?

"Miss Luo Quan!" Suddenly a boy shouted.

Miss Luo Quan's shoulders also trembled, and finally she helplessly took off her glasses: "Hehe, hello everyone, are you really squatting for me in the cinema?"

"Wuhu, I knew it was you just by looking at your back!" A group of fans raised their hands and began to cheer.

Never expected that the only full session of the movie "Lion Dance" was because of Miss Luo Quan.

The fans who saw their idol now had no attention on the movie that was about to start. They took photos, asked for autographs, and were busy having fun.

"Everyone, let's take a group photo after the movie is finished. Also, don't publicize it. If too many people come later, it is likely to affect public order." Miss Luo Quan also loudly appealed to the fans.

"I've seen it, it's a bad movie that doesn't count as a bad movie." A voice shouted, causing a burst of laughter.

The fans still listened to Miss Luo Quan very much. It was estimated that they also knew she was wrapped in the center position, with hundreds of eyes staring at her, unable to escape, so they returned to their seats one after another.

Soon, the movie started, and Miss Luo Quan spent more than an hour finishing the whole movie.

Just like the fan who had seen the movie said, it was a bad movie that didn't count as a bad movie.

The plot seemed okay, but after careful deliberation, it was found that it seemed to have nothing to do with lion dance.
