Chapter 697: Eve of Release

"How to evaluate the tenth group where Miss Luo Quan is?"

This is today's Zhihu trending question, and another one is "How to evaluate these ten group leaders."

Because Miss Luo Quan is not among the group leaders, the popularity is slightly lower.

After all, Miss Luo Quan currently comes with huge traffic, and such a gap is understandable.

Regarding the tenth group where Miss Luo Quan is, netizens evaluated it like this:

"The members of this group are very interesting: five people, three Best Actors, one Best Actress, one Best Picture. In terms of the gold content of the awards, it can be said that there is no one better in the country.

And the average age is also the youngest group, only thirty-six years old. Among them, Miss Luo Quan and Xia Yu dragged the average down; these two people combined are not even as old as Grandpa Cheng in the first group.

However, young is young, but I believe everyone is clear about the abilities of these few; there is no such thing as mixing in water, and the acting skills are all top-notch. In the future, when the grading starts, I believe it will also bring a lot of interesting news."

"The acting skills of these few do not need to be questioned. The only thing to be clear about is that except for Miss Luo Quan, the other four are all people from the Beijing circle.

What is the Beijing circle? Early on, it referred to that large group of artists headed by Hua Yi, but as this circle developed larger and larger, the definition of the Beijing circle has long been not so narrow.

And with the two presidents of Hua Yi's company going to prison, the Beijing circle can be considered to have completely drawn a line with this company.

There are many celebrities in this circle, many big names, and those with status and background are as numerous as hairs on an ox.

In a society of human relationships like China, what I am more worried about is that those actors belonging to the Beijing circle will deliberately arrange themselves into the tenth group for grading, so as to obtain preferential treatment.

I am not questioning the character of Grandpa He and others, but just worried about whether they can withstand the pressure and be fair and impartial?"

"If you ask me, Miss Luo Quan should be the group leader.

When streaming, she eats soft but not hard.

And once it involves work, she is even more famously soft and hard-headed.

Grading work is exactly what needs this kind of Hai Rui-style judge to control the direction.

The most important point is that the backgrounds of the Beijing circle cannot be pressed on her head. Such an international celebrity, if someone really has no eyes and wants to use their background to press her, I guess she will immediately publish it on Twitter.

By then, the world's eyes will be focused on you; I really want to see how hard these people's backgrounds can be."

………………

It seems that the public is really looking forward to Miss Luo Quan having a head-on collision with these imaginary enemies.

After all, the last one to have a head-on collision with Miss Luo Quan was Hua Yi Company. Judging from the recordings afterward, Miss Luo Quan was really scolding the boss of Hua Yi directly if she was unhappy, without giving any face at all.

Later, seeing that the soft approach didn't work, they wanted to use the hard approach and sent more than a dozen thugs to deal with her, but they were still knocked down by her on the street. This posture was completely the number one person who couldn't be provoked, not to mention how arrogant it was.

Having such a person as a group leader can actually make netizens feel more at ease.

It's just that the list has already been set, and if it were changed, it would cause some opinions from the members, so although netizens discussed it this way, the list did not change.

And Miss Luo Quan also talked about this matter when streaming.

"Just this brother on Zhihu, am I as fierce as you say? Describing me like a shrew, am I really that uncultured?"

Miss Luo Quan put her big face against the camera and asked unconvinced.

"Otherwise? You only know today that you are violent?"

"It's just that you met us; otherwise, if you changed to another place, you probably wouldn't be able to get married."

"Girls shouldn't be fighting and killing; it's better to honestly have a husband, children, and a warm bed."

"Indeed, quickly hold Luo Xi, let me see that side of you as a virtuous wife and mother."

"I want to see the sister! I want to see the sister!"

As if hearing the call of the fans in the comments, Luo Xi, who was lying well in the cradle, suddenly reached out and made a fuss:

"Hold! Hold!"

"You can really hear the comments?"

Miss Luo Quan couldn't help but laugh and cry as she picked up Luo Xi and touched Luo Xi's nose with her own nose: "Next time you want me to hold you, you have to call sister!"

"*Bia! *" Luo Xi pursed her lips and spat a bubble, laughing happily.

Seeing this scene, the fans were almost immediately melted.

"These two sisters are too loving; I can watch it for a day."

"Having such a sister is such a beautiful thing."

"This is probably the most heartwarming chicken soup I've ever seen; I feel like all the previous unhappiness has vanished."

"Ah hahaha, the chicken soup is here."

………………

After the netizens finished their fun, Miss Luo Quan looked at the camera and talked about business:

"Actually, regarding this actor grading matter, I still have some things I want to say.

First of all, I don't know if there are any practitioners in the stream; I guess there aren't.

I have already received the grading standards; details cannot be disclosed, but I can guarantee to everyone that as long as you have studied seriously, even if you are not from a professional background, you will still get a good result.

But if you only think that you have traffic and want to make money without even memorizing your lines, then I can only say that you may need to improve your skills and ideological awareness.

Anyway, for me, besides acting skills and hard work, nothing else can move me.

Don't look at me saying I'm gentle, but fans who are familiar with me know that I am very strict and don't show any mercy when I work.

So, bring out more skills when grading; don't think about muddling through."

These words can be considered a response, or rather an affirmation, to the comments about her on Zhihu.

Since she took on this actor grading matter, she must do it to the best of her ability.

This is her consistent life principle; creativity and inspiration are others', and if she copies, she must copy perfectly.

Other aspects must also have this attitude.

As for identity and background, just like the answer on Zhihu said, she has never compromised before, and she won't this time either.

Soon, "Miss Luo Quan is so tough" trended.

The trending content was this passage she said in the stream, which was liked and forwarded by GQT.

Subsequently, those actors on the judge list also forwarded it, which can be considered using her words to express their own attitude.

But how many are just going through the motions, and how many truly agree with her words, that is unknown.

But at least on the surface, no one sang the opposite.

The overall situation in the country is settled; everything is waiting for the actor grading in June, also known as the college entrance examination for the acting world.

The college entrance examination will determine the fate of students, while grading will determine the salary cap of actors for the coming year.

And salary is just the appearance; getting an excellent grade can get quite a lot of marketing opportunities.

In the past, people said who had good acting skills and who had bad acting skills, but there was no standard.

Now the authorities give you a standard and want to grade you. In the future, if you want to brag, just take out the certificate; it's simple and convenient.

As for these judges serving as committee members, they don't have grades, or rather, they are defaulted to the highest grade.

After all, their acting skills have long been unanimously recognized by the public, and their own works are indeed very solid, so there is no need to do anything extra.

As for salary, as long as it doesn't exceed the standard of the salary cap, there is no restriction.

So compared to getting a high grade, actors actually want to sit in the judge position more.

However, those who have this idea are basically young and middle-aged actors with some ability and qualifications.

Besides Miss Luo Quan, there are not many young actors who dare to say they have understood a character; being able to memorize lines and cry is already quite good.

If you say the lines are more ups and downs and full of emotion, that is simply an old drama bone among little fresh meats.

This shows how low the threshold of the acting world is now; the most basic literacy has even become a point to praise an actor.

What's more outrageous is that in the past, even without strength, at least having a handsome face and beauty could still make one a celebrity.

But now, not only is there no strength, but even a good-looking face has to have a question mark.

Many of the male and female leads in current costume dramas, to be honest, are many passersby faces, completely unrelated to handsome or beautiful.

But relying on fan circles, they still obtained resources.

This made the public unable to tolerate it.

Letting the public watch paralyzed vases is one thing, but now they don't even give vases to watch, just paralyzed faces, and they are so ugly; it's simply insulting the public's intelligence.

Therefore, the appearance of actor grading can be considered to have won the hearts of the public and many actors in the circle, and everyone thinks it is a good thing.

For those with ability, this is an excellent opportunity to prove themselves and a stage to turn over.

And for those who make up the numbers, the day grading starts is the day they reveal their true colors.

After the tide recedes, you can see at a glance who is swimming naked.

China is bustling, and the United States on the other side of the ocean is also not idle.

After the nuclear-powered money printer started, the bottom-level civilians did get a lot of relief funds, improving their lives a bit.

But not long after, prices began to rise.

Large-scale money printing inevitably leads to inflation. The United States has sufficient resources, but not enough for everyone to eat big fish and meat.

If wealth were divided equally, it would definitely be enough, but unfortunately, 80% of the wealth is in the hands of 20% of the people.

And what inflation affects is the remaining 80% of the bottom-level people.

Soon they found that the relief funds received from the government were spent in a few clicks, and jobs were still hard to find, prices were getting more and more expensive, and life gradually had a trend of moving toward a more difficult direction.

With this analysis, people found that the government's relief fund plan was a waste; not only did it not solve the problem, but it made the problem more serious.

Along with it, the stock market, which had just recovered not long ago, faintly showed signs of crashing again.

Panic is extremely easy to spread, and now the internet is developed, making it more convenient for people with ulterior motives to incite stock investors.

Just posting a message online that the US stock market is going to circuit break again can have an effect.

At first, it might be treated as a lie and scolded.

But if a lie is repeated many times, it becomes the truth.

Moreover, the US stock market has a criminal record.

Coupled with the cooperation of those financial crocodiles, the leeks who had just regained confidence are afraid they are going to be doomed again.

At the same time, the promotion of *Forrest Gump* has reached the final stage.

In four more days, the movie will be released, and the creators have also frequently brushed their presence on the internet during this period.

In such a difficult period, the price of movie tickets is one of the few commodities that has not skyrocketed.

Or rather, only Miss Luo Quan's movie didn't rise too much.

Mainly because the filming of *Forrest Gump* didn't cost too much money. Although there are many celebrities, one is the director's brother, and the other is simply from the director's own company. The prices of these two big heads were not particularly large, so the final cost was controlled quite low.

Although movie tickets rose, it was only because the costs of all aspects of the cinema had to rise, so they had to adjust the price.

Compared to the prices of other movies that almost doubled, *Forrest Gump* only rising a few dollars is already quite conscientious.

After all, the movie is marketing the American Dream mainstream, and conscientious pricing is also a point that can be marketed.

And after promoting this, it really gained good reviews online. Netizens verbally expressed support for the movie, and many planned to support it offline, contributing their own movie ticket.

On the streets of New York, Tang Mu walked onto the street with his hands in his pockets.

The once bustling streets seemed a bit desolate because the stock market was about to crash.

It seemed as if the economic lifeline of this country was in the stock market; once the stock market had a problem, everyone was not in the mood to do business.

But thinking about it, it's also true. Last year, he could still eat fried chicken with his good friend Jerry in the room and watch Miss Luo Quan's *Resident Evil*.

And now, for the sake of life, even though he hadn't graduated from university, he had to spend quite a lot of spare time working as a waiter in a restaurant to reduce the family's burden.

Originally, his family situation was quite good. But ever since the stocks his dad invested in plummeted, the comfortable life of the past had gone forever.

Although it was not enough to go bankrupt, it was definitely not possible to be as extravagant as before.

However, their family was still considered good; at least some assets remained, not enough to be at the end of their rope.

The family upstairs, because of the stock market crash, had their savings basically all trapped, turning from rich to negative overnight.

The man of the house couldn't accept the blow and jumped directly from the window, and the whole family fell into the abyss.

Also because of this incident, Tang Mu had always had a shadow in his heart and hadn't laughed for a long, long time.

But today, after finishing the restaurant work, on the way back to school, he passed by the cinema and saw the poster for *Forrest Gump*.

Seeing that handsome face, Tang Mu walked up as if possessed and booked a movie ticket for the night of the premiere.

I don't know what kind of power made him make such a decision, or was it the "American Dream" in the middle of the poster?

Maybe. ===== CHAPTER 698 =====
