Chapter 695: Changes

"It's actually quite nice to listen to. What is Luo Bao humming?"

"Listen closely, it sounds like a lullaby."

"No duh, isn't everything used to put a baby to sleep called a lullaby?"

"Geniuses really are different; a casual hum turns into a beautiful tune."

"Does it have a name? Can you post a full version? I also want to experience the feeling of being lulled to sleep by Miss Luo Quan."

"Good grief, what kind of immersive experience is this?"

"You guys are always coming up with new tricks."

………………

Miss Luo Quan truly hadn't expected that a lullaby she hummed casually would attract so many comments.

However, this Brahms' Lullaby is indeed one of the most famous lullabies in the world.

But looking at the fans' reactions, it seems this world probably doesn't have it either.

"Let's just call it 'Lullaby'. If you all like it, I'll record a full version later and post it online," Miss Luo Quan said, lowering her voice as she faced the camera.

After speaking, she looked down at Luo Xi. The latter was sleeping peacefully, her mouth slightly pursed, looking very soft and cute.

Because she had to hold Luo Xi, she definitely couldn't play games, and she was afraid of waking her up if she talked.

Although the fans said that just watching her sit there was fine, Miss Luo Quan sat blankly in front of the camera for a while before ending the stream.

After holding her for about ten minutes, Miss Luo Quan saw that her sister was sleeping very soundly, so she carefully placed her into the crib.

Babies under a year old sleep a lot, but they usually don't sleep for long; they often wake up crying due to various discomforts before long.

By then, the trouble of changing diapers, washing her bottom, and applying baby powder would begin.

Because of this, Miss Luo Quan didn't leave. She placed the crib nearby and started scrolling through her phone on silent.

Not long after the stream ended, Luo Xi was already trending.

The last time Luo Xi trended was when she was just born.

It's actually quite funny; when her sister was born, a bunch of celebrities from the entertainment industry who had no connection to her all sent congratulatory messages in the comment section.

Although it's a good thing for people to offer congratulations, Miss Luo Quan always felt it was a bit strange.

But this time, when Luo Xi trended, there weren't that many celebrities; it was mostly netizens commenting:

"Wow, she's already so beautiful at such a young age."

"Look at those eyes and nose; in two or three years at most, she'll be a proper little beauty."

"The genes in Miss Luo Quan's family are truly good. She's already so pretty at this age; I'm so envious."

"After all, they are the family with the highest level of attractiveness in the world; that's not just talk."

"I really hope little Luo Xi grows up quickly. I really want to know how beautiful she will become."

"If possible, not growing up is the best."

"There's nothing good to encounter in the adult world."

"Indeed, a child's world is the purest and most beautiful, carefree, without so much backstabbing."

…………

It's clear that when netizens express their love and praise for Luo Xi, it also contains a considerable amount of envy and memories of their own childhood lives.

People are always like this; they dwell on what they lack the most in the present.

However, little Luo Xi isn't a celebrity, and there's no one helping to market anything online right now.

So the popularity comes fast and goes fast.

By comparison, everyone is still more willing to discuss her sister, Miss Luo Quan, who is a big star.

The trending topic "Miss Luo Quan's Maternal Glow" began to dominate the list before long.

Clicking into the trending topic, it shows the scene of Miss Luo Quan holding Luo Xi and humming the nameless lullaby.

Under the soft lighting, Miss Luo Quan's arms and chest formed a cradle, swaying gently. Luo Xi slept peacefully inside, and the whole scene was so heartwarming that it made people feel a sting in their noses.

The warmth between parent and child is the most moving thing. Although Miss Luo Quan is the sister, the twenty-year age gap truly makes her look like a young mother.

And the temperament she displayed wasn't much different from a real mother, especially the tenderness revealed in her eyes, which was enough to make anyone's heart melt.

"I don't mean anything by this, but Miss Luo Quan's appearance made me almost blurt out 'Mom'."

"This is probably Miss Luo Quan's most gentle moment; I've never seen a moment like this before."

"The baby is very light, but in her arms, it's equivalent to the weight of the whole world. She holds her so carefully, full of a sense of protection."

"If I could be held by Miss Luo Quan like that, it would be worth it even if I were a ghost."

"Haha, then you probably would have had to save the solar system in your past life."

"Indeed, this isn't treatment that an ordinary person can have. Currently, out of the seven billion people on Earth, only Luo Xi has enjoyed it."

"To be honest, I'm truly envious this time."

………………

Watching the netizens' half-serious, half-funny comments is Miss Luo Quan's greatest joy. This sense of satisfaction is something that a box office of over a billion couldn't provide, and no matter how she looks at it, she never gets tired of it.

Of course, the premise is that she can't watch for too long; watching for too long makes it easy to fall into a state of narcissism.

Although the fans don't think her narcissism is much of a problem.

Being this beautiful and not narcissistic would be the strange thing. As long as it's not too excessive, it's actually considered a cute trait.

However, there aren't many celebrities left who can be treated with such tolerance by netizens.

Ever since the internet cleanup began, the authorities' politics regarding the entertainment industry have never stopped.

First, it was cracking down on those illegal and criminal groups and individuals, sparing neither the big nor the small. The light punishments involved being ordered to retire from the industry, while the heavy ones resulted in prison time; the intensity could be said to be quite high.

Immediately following that was a wave of salary caps, limiting celebrities' pay to a relatively reasonable range as much as possible.

It was also after this salary cap came out that, although the overall number of movies and TV shows decreased, the number of good works appearing clearly increased.

And after these two measures, the third wave of policy finally arrived; it was a measure that had never appeared in China before and might overturn the entire entertainment industry ecosystem.

"Starting from May, Chinese actors will implement a grading system, and the salary cap for actors will be determined by their grade."

The shorter the words, the bigger the matter usually is.

Less than five minutes after this policy came out, it directly became an "explosion," and within half an hour, it gained a million likes on Weibo's trending list.

Countless netizens who had been tortured by bad actors and bad acting for a long time could be said to have been looking forward to this policy for far too long.

Actors should have been like this from the start, earning money based on ability. Those traffic stars with no skills who only know how to market and hype are simply not worthy of such high pay.

Now that the grading system is out, it's a huge blow to all traffic stars.

However, this policy is definitely good, but it immediately led to a series of problems.

For example, what is the highest grade for an actor? How is the grade assessed? Who are the people serving as assessors, and can they convince the public?

These are all points that the general public needs to understand. However, the authorities are probably still in final discussions, and leaking a bit of wind now is also to let those actors without acting skills prepare in advance.

The entertainment industry does need to be rectified, but wiping out the vast majority of actors is definitely not a scene the authorities want to see.

This policy is more about acting as a spur and a restriction.

It spurs the "little fresh meats" to work hard to improve their acting skills instead of spending energy on managing fan circles and fighting.

At the same time, it also limits the amount of money celebrities earn. After all, those sky-high paychecks, when reported, are indeed too easy to cause negative social sentiment.

Overall, the promulgation of this policy will indeed bring about many good changes, but it will also cause considerable changes to the current ecosystem of the entertainment industry.

But as long as the fairness and rigor of the grading are grasped, this policy can definitely make the entertainment industry better.

And right now it's just actors; in the future, directors, screenwriters, singers, variety show hosts, and so on can all have grading.

In this way, there will be fewer and fewer slackers, and those with ability can slowly gain opportunities to move up, earn more money, and thus start a virtuous cycle.

This is a foreseeable situation. Sure enough, if you want to revitalize such a large circle, you have to use an iron fist.

Just as Miss Luo Quan said before, if you want to revitalize the music or entertainment industry, relying on one person's strength is far from enough.

And now, the intensity is there; as for the specific situation, it depends on the situation after the May grading.

The next evening, Luo Xi was lying in the cradle listening to classical music. The title of the stream was: "Music must start from childhood; today we're listening to some high-class classical music."

Then, the comment section also very cooperatively flooded the screen with "high-class."

"Today this is a high-class stream; those not wearing evening gowns or tailcoats, please leave."

"Looking down on me, right? Open your eyes wide; what I'm wearing is a dragon robe!"

"Where did this waiter come from with no eye for things? I have an invitation personally written by Princess Miss Luo Quan."

"Since everyone is so high-class, then everyone should know the music in the stream, right?"

"Isn't it displayed in the player? Mozart's Violin Concerto."

………………

"Haha, you guys should stop; I was just joking, why are you taking it so seriously?" Miss Luo Quan held Luo Xi and laughed very happily.

Seeing her sister so happy, Luo Xi turned her face to look at her, held her mouth with both hands, and then squeezed it toward the middle with force, laughing happily while squeezing.

"Haha, I finally know who Miss Luo Quan's nemesis is."

"Facing Luo Xi, the sister really has no temper at all."

"You have to deal with her like this, Luo Xi; use your advantage, you won't have this opportunity when you grow up a bit more!"

…………

"You guys are inciting a crime, right?" Miss Luo Quan saw the comments and immediately spoke up to refute.

At the same time, she tilted her head, wanting to shrink away from Luo Xi's hands.

But as soon as she moved away, Luo Xi's mouth drooped, and she was about to cry immediately, scaring her sister into quickly stretching her face back out.

This scene made the fans laugh even more happily.

"The sister is treating you like a toy; she cries as soon as you pull your head back."

"Ask yourself, who doesn't like to play with Miss Luo Quan?"

"Is this about to get suggestive? Should I lock the car doors?"

"I also want to knead Miss Luo Quan's face like that, *hiss*."

"Tone it down, this is a high-class stream."

"But don't nobles usually have this style?"

"Haha, this soul-searching question left me speechless."

………………

Amidst the teasing in the comments, Luo Xi kneaded her sister's cheeks up, down, left, and right.

After kneading for a while, perhaps feeling it was boring, she also clamored to go back to the cradle to lie down.

Miss Luo Quan couldn't ask for anything better and quickly put Luo Xi back into the cradle.

"Sigh, children are just hard to take care of." Miss Luo Quan rubbed her sore mouth and drank a cup of hot water to quench her thirst.

"Miss Luo Quan, can you evaluate the actor grading system from this morning?"

"The specific news came out in the afternoon; there are six grades at the highest, and they said they would release samples for each grade later."

"There shouldn't be a need for Grade 1, right? Aren't all those little fresh meats currently at that grade?"

"Grade 1 is already an actor; do you think the performances of those fresh meats are worthy of the profession of actor?"

"Indeed, if my grandma went to act, she would probably act better than these people."

"I'm quite looking forward to what grade Miss Luo Quan will get."

"Is that a question? Definitely the highest!"

………………

Seeing that the fans in the comments were quite concerned about this matter, and that this grading system was also closely related to her, Miss Luo Quan also planned to talk about it:

"First of all, grading is definitely a good thing. In the future, when filming movies of a certain grade, you can just find actors of the corresponding grade. This classification can be said to be a big step forward.

As for the salary cap for little fresh meats, it is indeed effective.

But now, the income of little fresh meats is not just acting fees; variety shows, advertisements, appearance fees, etc., are actually often higher than just filming a movie, so they will still make a lot of money, and it won't have much to do with the grade level.

As for what everyone is more concerned about, what grade I will get when I return to the country, although I am an Oscar Best Actress, it doesn't mean my acting skills have reached the pinnacle.

Actually, I still have quite a lot of room for improvement, and there are many types of roles I haven't challenged, so it's not that simple to get a Grade 6 certificate."

"Indeed, for example, you haven't acted in nude scenes or kiss scenes yet; as an actor, this is very unprofessional."

An old fan with a Level 10 fan badge in the comments said this, and Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but laugh and cry as she reached out to grab the mouse:

"You guy, you really know how to hit where it hurts. Banned for one day, no problem, right?"

"Just banned for one day?"

"That's too harsh; they were just telling the truth."

"Even if I get banned, I still have to say it: you aren't professional!"

"Indeed, at most a Grade 5."

"Is there a possibility that Miss Luo Quan is directly a judge this time?"

"Damn, I forgot about this position if you hadn't mentioned it."

"With Miss Luo Quan's resume, it seems there really is such a possibility."

………………

"A judge?" Miss Luo Quan pinched her chin and thought carefully. Although her email and phone hadn't received any similar notifications yet, it really couldn't be ruled out.

After all, she at least has a Best Actress award in hand, and her acting skills are quite convincing. ===== CHAPTER 696 =====
