Chapter 755: Changing Places to Film Movies

The new policy arrived, and countless people felt as if they were on a small sailboat driving in the rough waves.

Some chose to drift with the tide and didn't care where the waves would send them.

Some chose to control the sails and become the trendsetters of the era.

And those who have the second idea are often "successful people" who possess more resources.

Their capital gave them the power to see further and do more.

The more capital they have, the faster they act.

Just like sharks gathering after smelling blood, only those who swim the fastest can bite off the largest mouthful of food, and those who come late only have the leftovers to eat.

And the manifestation of action is that art schools for primary and secondary school students have begun to be built all over the country.

Education should start from children, and art education is no exception.

Most children are like a blank sheet of paper with infinite possibilities, possessing extremely high plasticity.

Excavating geniuses must be done in this group to be most efficient.

And a newly built school in Shanghai, which originally only intended to accept children from wealthy families, also temporarily changed its enrollment requirements after the new policy was issued.

From an ordinary aristocratic middle school, it became an art middle school, taking out half of the enrollment quota to be used for recruiting various art students.

Most ordinary middle schools will have special students, sports, art, music, etc., but if half of the school is such special students, the nature is different.

And this capable principal also invited Luo Quan to promote the school.

Although it was just taking a photo, with her popularity, even if she just strolled around the admissions office, it would make a large number of parents who hope their children will become dragons flock here.

As one of the two stars who have gained huge fame internationally since the new century, Luo Quan's name is even more useful than many old-qualified professors and gentlemen in the art field.

Even if she doesn't work as a teacher in the school, it will naturally make parents feel that this school has some connections, and they will have the idea that they might be able to invite her to give lectures in the school in the future.

Once there is such an idea, the school's plan is considered successful.

Although Luo Quan herself doesn't like to do publicity for these things.

If it were an ordinary art school, it would be fine, but the aristocratic school faces rich people, as if making her choose between two classes.

If it wasn't for Principal Li of Shangyi calling her to ask for a favor, she definitely wouldn't do any publicity.

But there is no way, having studied in Shangyi for a year before, Principal Li also helped her a lot, and it was hard to refuse the human relationship, so she took it.

Fortunately, I heard that this Yingcai Middle School will lower the enrollment threshold as appropriate, focusing more on the quality of students rather than family background, and after enrollment, it will also focus on grades and cultivating abilities, and there will be no situation where there are no top-grade students from poor families.

Although I don't know if it can be realized, it is good to have such an attitude.

Luo Quan took this job and did her best, picking an auspicious day to shoot the promotional video and posting it on the internet.

The content of the publicity is to introduce the strengths of this school, such as how large the area is, how strong the faculty is, and how advanced and complete the teaching equipment is.

From the paper data, this Shanghai Yingcai Middle School is at the first level in the country; it is worthy of being intended to be an aristocratic middle school at the beginning; the hardware is impeccable.

As for the teaching quality, we have to wait until school starts to know; she is not a teacher and cannot guarantee these uncertain things.

After the promotional video was released, the clicks quickly exceeded one million.

If it were in the past, this kind of popularity could easily hit the trending list.

But now there is no big movement.

Even if the popularity can be seen from the click volume, other places don't know what happened here at all.

Originally Luo Quan was a bit strange, feeling why Weibo suddenly suppressed her trending search.

Then she suddenly remembered the mention in the new policy about reducing the exposure of entertainment stars.

Although she has countless titles such as musician, national-level chef, philanthropist, entrepreneur, etc.

But what she is most widely known for is still the world's most beautiful and entertainment superstar.

Since she is in the entertainment industry, she will be reduced in exposure.

Although she was mentally prepared for this, when it really happened, Luo Quan still felt a bit unaccustomed.

And the situation that leads to this unaccustomedness will become the norm.

"I will get used to it slowly in the future." Luo Quan stopped refreshing Weibo and comforted herself like this.

On this side, the school matter ended, and Luo Quan opened her notebook and began to prepare for the new movie.

Although the United States is now as chaotic as a pot of porridge, with zero-dollar shopping and shootings occurring in many places, and even internet celebrity stars being shot and killed on the street.

However, no matter how chaotic the world is, you have to make money.

Warner can't wait.

Originally, it was agreed that the new movie would be released in the summer vacation, but as a result, it hasn't started filming until now.

Luo Quan promised to hand over the work within this year, but seeing that August is about to end, and there is no movement, the management is already a bit anxious.

Now the movie market is different every day; Marvel's first phase is over, which is a great opportunity for old strength to be exhausted and new heart not yet out.

If you don't take this opportunity to release a few good movies to occupy the market, wait for the second phase of movies to come out, and DC will probably be stepped on by others for the next ten years.

So, it's no wonder these managers are anxious.

Although they didn't do any human things when operating DC, as long as it is related to making money, there is no need to question their enthusiasm.

So during this period, they also sent emails to Luo Quan every day to express their condolences, asking how her body and mood were recently, whether she had any plans to come to the United States, and whether she needed them to book a plane ticket for her.

At first, she thought it was quite funny, but after a few times, she felt annoyed.

If it weren't for the fact that breaking the contract would require paying a lot of money, she really wanted to just quit and not do it.

Because no one in this world can force her to do things she doesn't like.

However, Warner gave too much money, and the compensation for breaking the contract would be even more.

So, Luo Quan, who couldn't bear the harassment, replied directly to the opposite side:

"I don't plan to go to the United States for the time being; if you insist on filming, bring people to China; I will finish filming it in China!"

This compromise method was unanimously agreed upon by Warner's management.

Anyway, it's all filming a movie; what's the difference where it's filmed? It's just spending more on plane tickets and travel expenses.

Wool comes from the sheep; when the movie is released, with Luo Quan's fame, isn't it easy to earn back the cost?

Just like that, the filming of the movie was settled, and Warner also quickly began the trailer promotion.

And Luo Quan, as the director and lead actor, was finally about to get busy.

Filming plans and the like don't need to be said; they must be done before filming every movie, written well and given to others in the crew to see, so that they know how to film this movie.

As for herself, in order to fit the protagonist's thin figure, Luo Quan exchanged some rapid weight loss pills from the system mall.

This kind of weight loss pill is very effective; after eating it, the weight will decrease by a certain amount the next day according to the number of pills eaten.

However, this medicine has a duration, and once the medicine effect passes, the weight will immediately rebound, and it will not have any effect if eaten again within a period of time.

This kind of weight loss pill that treats the symptoms but not the root cause was also the reason why Luo Quan didn't choose it when she wanted to maintain a good figure before.

But filming a movie is only for this month; what is needed is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Thin down when filming, and restore to the original state after filming; it is simply perfect.

Even then, she could market a professional persona, losing weight for filming, and so on.

Oh no, it seems that this environment doesn't work now; stars can no longer over-market, which is a bit of a pity.

After exchanging the weight loss pills, Luo Quan didn't eat the full amount to lose weight immediately, but ate a little every day, so that she would lose a little every day, so it wouldn't appear so abrupt.

Unless she has some serious illness, no one will lose more than ten pounds overnight.

Luo Quan wouldn't do such an inconsiderate thing.

And during this period, Luo Quan also spent more time in the sports room to pretend, so that Wen Xia and the others thought she had increased her exercise volume and lost weight.

With a few measures, it was basically seamless.

The next night, the movie poster was released across the internet.

This time it hit the trending list, but it was the trending list on Twitter abroad.

In the poster, there was only half of Luo Quan's upper body.

She was wearing a wine-red woolen coat, and her face was made up with red, white, and blue oil paint into a clown's makeup.

The red oil paint outlined a grinning arc at the corner of her mouth, but the closed lips and drooping eyes reflected her sad mood at the moment.

Just a teaser poster alone reflected the complex inner world of the protagonist clown so vividly, and a large group of DC fans cheered for it.

As the villain with the highest popularity in DC and even the entire American comic history, the clown had always appeared in related movies as the image of Batman's nemesis.

In ten Batman movies, five of the villains were him, and the other four would definitely mention him.

As a synonym for high IQ, madness, and doing whatever one wants, the clown actually represented the personality of many DC fans.

They don't go with the flow of the world, hate this world full of injustice, want to fight to the death with so-called justice, and then move toward great destruction in an extremely tragic posture.

Sounds shocking, and also very "middle-school."

However, this is also the charm of the clown character.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is a butcher who treats human life as grass, cunning and cruel, always able to make Batman eat a loss, but in the end, he can't escape being defeated by justice.

Everyone knew the ending of the story from the beginning.

But this time, because Luo Quan was filming the clown's personal movie, and it was also an independent parallel universe, those fans who wanted to see the clown defeated by Batman were estimated to be disappointed.

This movie is about why the clown became the clown.

There will almost be no special effects, nor will there be other superheroes, and the plot will also be dull and flat most of the time.

The only highlight is concentrated on the clown alone.

Such a movie is definitely unacceptable to most DC fans.

And this matter, Luo Quan also told everyone as soon as this project came out.

Now the movie promotional poster is out, and she mentioned it again, to avoid fans being too expectant, only to find that it is not what they want after watching the movie.

However, although she told the truth, many DC fans thought that Luo Quan was throwing a smoke bomb to leave suspense for the movie.

Many directors and actors will do such things before the movie is released, because of confidentiality regulations, they are not allowed to leak too much information related to the movie, so as not to lose the fans' expectations after spoilers.

Luo Quan's reminder was obviously considered by fans to be said because of confidentiality regulations.

It would have been better not to remind; after reminding, it made the fans even more expectant.

As a super-popular villain, many actors spent a lot of effort before playing the clown.

Some depicted it quite well, as if the clown himself was possessed.

And some acted quite generally, appearing exaggerated and awkward.

This is a character with great difficulty, but in all previous versions, the clown was played by a man.

Luo Quan is currently the only female clown.

A considerable number of fans even looked forward to her and Batman making a CP-oriented movie, having a real love-hate relationship, and even if they finally became a pair, everyone could fully accept it.

If the movie was filmed like this, don't say, it is estimated that the box office would really not be low.

Now society is used to conventional superheroes saving the world; occasionally changing the taste, watching a "girl-ified" villain and superhero fighting is really quite novel.

Luo Quan herself also likes to watch this kind of movie full of novelty.

But "Joker" is not such a story.

The female version of the clown is just a gimmick; the core of the movie is still about how to reveal the contradictions of the whole society by depicting the birth of the clown.

Its gender actually doesn't matter; whether it's male or female doesn't have much impact.

However, because the female version of the clown is unique, American comic fans are very expectant.

They want to see a different villain, a "sick girl," a crazy beauty.

Sounds really attractive, but Luo Quan can only apologize to them: you are going to be disappointed.

The effect presented by the final movie will likely not be like this.

If the Batman universe restarts in the future, maybe there will be a chance to film it like this.

But now Warner's DC universe has rotted into a puddle of mud, and many of the movies filmed have flopped at the box office, and "Justice League," which gathered many big names, is even more of a flop among flops.

So much so that the management directly cut off the plan for the second part and intends to restart the DC universe.

Screenwriters, directors, and even actors are estimated to be replaced.

Luo Quan's project, because it is independent of the main universe, has not been greatly affected.

But it will take several years or even ten years for her version of the clown and Batman to have a rival scene.

As far as the current situation is concerned, Warner does not have extra manpower and financial resources to realize this plan.

Therefore, the love-hate relationship that fans are looking forward to can only become a "lifetime series." ===== CHAPTER 756 =====
