Chapter 756: My Movie, My Decision

~14 min read 2,675 words

After the movie started to warm up, Luo Quan herself also posted a status update:

"Because of force majeure factors, this movie filming will be carried out in China, so fans don't have to worry about me disappearing for another month."

Posting this status update was originally just to give fans a reassurance, but it ended up attracting quite a few investment intentions for her.

Domestic capital and artists heard that Luo Quan had a new movie to film, and each of them was exceptionally excited, trying every means to get on her boat.

Everyone knows that Luo Quan's movies now have both box office and awards, "The Silence of the Lambs" helped her win the Best Actress throne, "Farewell My Concubine" won the Best Movie at Cannes, and "Forrest Gump" has already been scheduled for the Oscar.

And the following "Joker" is starred by Luo Quan herself, and it is also an extremely complex character, testing acting skills, and at the same time can reflect acting skills.

If there are no accidents, this time Luo Quan will once again bring a feast of performance to movie fans.

In the two movies where she was the protagonist, one took the box office champion so far this year, and one helped her win Best Actress.

I don't know which one this will be, or both?

No one dares to draw a conclusion easily, but there is no doubt that filming a movie with Luo Quan will definitely bring benefits.

Her crew not only has good treatment and high wages, but also has a huge bonus for personal resumes.

If she can get her appreciation and play a good role that leaves an impression on the audience, what awaits you may be soaring.

Zhao Xilin is the best example.

Before acting in "The Queen Who Wears Chanel," he was just a runner in Hengdian, and besides having more than 100,000 fans on Bilibili, he had almost no popularity.

But it was precisely because he was spotted by Luo Quan during the audition that he played a supporting role in "The Queen Who Wears Chanel," and then became popular overnight.

Later, he continued to cooperate with Luo Quan, playing Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine," and completely conquered the audience with his exquisite acting skills like being possessed, and his status in the entertainment industry also leaped to become a top stream.

Compared to his worth when he was running in Hengdian, now it has increased more than ten thousand times; it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a step to the sky.

Compared to the legendary rise of a certain migrant worker Best Actor, Zhao Xilin's success actually has better replicability.

Because Luo Quan always wants to film movies, and according to her personality of "fat water not flowing to outsiders' fields," the heroine and hero are estimated not to be the turn of others.

But the second and third heroines, the second and third heroes, there are always opportunities, right? Even if it's just a runner who shows his face, it's not impossible.

As long as you can appear in her movie, to be honest, these are huge bonuses.

Now Luo Quan has a trend of being mentioned in the same breath as those older famous directors.

In the past, in the film and television industry, there were "some girl," "some girl," which meant that women cooperated with these directors and could easily become famous overnight.

Luo Quan now films one movie and it becomes popular; it's hard not to become popular when she is the heroine in her movie, and it is completely qualified to be called a "Quan girl" later.

Now "Joker" is about to start filming; although I don't know how many positions are left in this movie, there are quite a lot of people in the country who want to be "Quan girls."

Besides people, capital is also interested, but they don't want to be "girls," but want to invest and share the cake, or plant an advertisement or something.

After all, this time it is filmed in China, and the near water tower gets the moon first.

Unfortunately, the investors of this movie were decided a long time ago, and it is almost impossible to intervene.

However, the matter of actors can be discussed.

There are many people who need to appear in a movie; it is not impossible to arrange a few irrelevant runner roles.

By the way, it can also make the movie not only have black people and white people, so that no one will say she is racist later.

Now foreign countries are watching this aspect very closely, killing by mistake rather than letting go; Luo Quan is tough again, and she doesn't want to touch the eyebrows of these people, so she can leave as few handles as possible.

In short, there are only a few positions for runners, and foreigners in China are not difficult to find, so there is no need to specially find group performers in the United States.

As for the streets, many have

Although it feels a bit like taking off one's pants to fart, since we can't film in the United States, we have no choice but to choose this troublesome method.

Early the next morning, Luo Quan's personal inbox already had 99+ messages.

They were either people wanting to audition or people recommending acquaintances to audition.

But Luo Quan hadn't heard of the names of most of them; by comparison, she still preferred to look at actors with a bit more fame first.

"Jiaoyang Artists..."

Luo Quan muttered the name signed on the email.

This is one of the largest talent agencies in the country, whose artists mainly focus on filming movies and television dramas, and generally do not touch variety shows or music.

Their level of professionalism is absolutely beyond reproach, and this company also produces one or two high-quality, high-heat works every year; their fame in the industry belongs to the top tier.

For such a famous company in the industry to recommend actors to her for bit parts, their posture is set way too low.

Or is it that her own status has now risen to this level?

Opening the email, Jiaoyang Artists first used a few greetings to gain some initial favor, and then talked about the movie role.

Basically, it said the company has many excellent actors, and there are a few top-notch seedlings they want to recommend to her; if she has time, she can come and interview them.

Since there are quite a few good seedlings, Luo Quan planned to solve the problem of bit parts all at once, so she replied to the email asking who all the recommended actors were.

Soon, Jiaoyang Artists sent a photo and information.

"Hao Liu, representative works 'Unheard Music', 'Struggle Era'..."

The person in the photo is a young girl with a gentle and bright smile, born after 2000, with excellent physical conditions, and currently studying at the Beijing Film Academy.

And she should be quite famous, because she had quite an impression of this name in her mind; it seems she had seen it in some trending news before.

Soon, she recalled the specific memories regarding this actress.

She is indeed quite famous, but not for a good reputation.

The negative news mainly occurred regarding her family, because a drunk driving incident many years ago resulted in a girl having her thigh amputated.

After the court ruled them fully liable, they refused to comply, and it wasn't until enforcement was forced that they finally paid the compensation.

And the time of payment happened to be a period before Hao Liu's debut, obviously because her family didn't want to add a stain to their daughter's acting career.

But if you want people not to know, you shouldn't have done it; with the internet so developed now, no one's life can be without traces, unless you and your family never use mobile phones or computers.

Otherwise, some clues will always be dug up.

What's more, this isn't even a clue for Hao Liu; it went to court, and you can find out just by checking.

A while ago, it was exposed because of this incident, causing a wave of blacklash across the entire internet.

Angry netizens all wanted Hao Liu to publicly apologize to the girl, but she never made any response from beginning to end.

Although she was indeed not the perpetrator, the principle that a father's debts are paid by the child is one of the simplest moral standards in China.

For things the father did, the descendants will more or less be implicated.

If she came out to apologize sincerely and added some compensation, this rhythm could have subsided, and she could even have washed away the black spot and turned it into an act that could attract fans.

However, it is likely that this family didn't take that girl or the public opinion on the internet to heart at all, adopting a cold-treatment approach throughout.

They even appeared in promotional advertisements prohibiting drunk driving afterwards, serving as an ambassador once.

This is equivalent to telling everyone: I know you find me unpleasant, but I can just use this most ironic way to challenge your nerves.

It is said that this Hao Liu has a strong background; since her debut, she has had constant collaborations with big names, several famous directors have taken turns promoting her, and she even won a very high-value award at the beginning of this year. In terms of popularity alone, she is indeed the top tier among the post-00s young actresses in China currently.

However, because of these things, her public favorability is extremely poor, and the box office of the movies she starred in has not been very ideal.

Although it has something to do with the quality of those movies themselves, ruining public favorability is also an indisputable fact; many netizens have stated that they will absolutely not watch movies starring Hao Liu.

It can be said that the higher her resources in the film industry, the lower her reputation.

Before, Luo Quan only roughly looked at the process on Weibo and didn't understand it very deeply.

Because understanding it wouldn't change anything, and instead would just add to her own annoyance, so she simply didn't look.

But now that people have stuffed her right in front of her eyes, if she pretends not to see it, it's not that her eyes are blind, but her heart is blind.

Luo Quan replied directly in the email: "This is your company's top-notch seedling?"

Jiaoyang Artists originally wanted to send over the profiles of a few other artists, but seeing this, they were stunned. It took a full minute before they typed: "There have indeed been a lot of rhythms about Hao Liu on the internet recently, but most of them are fake. If you don't believe me, go search again; many of those who spread rumors have deleted their comments."

It was indeed deleted, and even the news could no longer be searched.

However, this was not because the rumor-mongers found their conscience, but an act of burying one's head in the sand to cover up one's own stains.

"Don't use these words to fool me. Since your company promotes this Hao Liu so much, I think we should talk about the collaboration later.

When Hao Liu apologizes for this incident and makes additional compensation, then we can talk about the collaboration."

After the email was sent, there was no response from Jiaoyang Artists.

It is unknown whether they went to arrange for Hao Liu to apologize or simply retreated in the face of difficulties.

However, Luo Quan estimates it will be the latter; for someone who can ignore the entire internet's angry spraying, how could she go to apologize because of her own words?

If she really apologized, wouldn't the previous scolding have been in vain? Wouldn't the deleted trending searches have been deleted in vain?

She and the people behind her will not do such a thing of self-defilement.

It's just that she doesn't know if doing this will lead to being held a grudge by Jiaoyang Artists.

This company has many good dramas, and as long as it is a good drama, artists on Luo Quan's side generally won't miss it.

Checking the notepad, Su Yu and Jiang Yuner indeed each have a play that is in collaboration with Jiaoyang Artists.

Fortunately, it was just accepted and hasn't started filming yet; both are reading the script, so there is no loss even if they drop it.

Of course, this matter still has to wait for Jiaoyang Artists to bring it up first; if there is a breach of contract, it will be their breach.

Subsequently, Luo Quan told Su Yu and Jiang Yuner about this matter, letting them have some psychological preparation in advance.

Hearing the boss say she offended Jiaoyang Artists, Su Yu laughed directly: "No matter how you look at it, they offended you, Boss. With your current status, even if you point at them and scold them, they have to smile even if your spit lands on their faces."

Luo Quan chuckled: "How could I be so vulgar, and I'm afraid of dirtying my saliva."

Jiang Yuner was a bit worried: "But this company is indeed quite powerful. In the high-scoring dramas of the past few years, three out of ten were filmed by them, and three others were participated in production. If we can't cooperate in the future, wouldn't we lose a lot of good resources?"

"It doesn't matter, at worst we'll film it ourselves." Luo Quan comforted the girls indifferently, "Can your boss produce a movie script, and can't she produce a TV drama script?

It's just that I'm lazy, and I also want to let you exercise your acting skills, so that even if the difficulty of the script is high later, you can easily handle it."

Wen Xia opened her mouth and yawned: "It's really not easy to hear you say you're lazy yourself."

Luo Quan spread her hands and said with justification: "I just don't want you to be too tired. Now that there are ready-made resources, you can rest for a long time after filming for a month, isn't that beautiful?

Are you all workaholics who feel uncomfortable if you don't film for a day?"

Su Yu shook her head immediately: "That's definitely not it. Who doesn't want to play if they can?"

"Me too." Jiang Yuner also nodded in agreement.

Luo Quan laughed: "That's right.

But since the topic is here, I'll give you a reassurance.

I definitely have the script, and I'll get it out for you after you finish the drama on hand."

"Is it already conceived?" Wen Xia's eyes lit up, "But our company has many girls. Can we all go together? It seems only Qing Palace dramas can satisfy this condition."

Luo Quan nodded: "It is indeed possible, but this type doesn't seem to be very popular now, so I plan to film a modern drama, with the title tentatively set as 'Ode to Joy'."

Su Yu blinked: "Ode to Joy? It sounds like singing; it won't be a musical, right?"

If it's music, then 'Ode to Joy' is definitely one of the best.

However, this world doesn't have it; whether it's music or TV dramas, there is no 'Ode to Joy', so naturally there is no fear of any misunderstanding.

And this TV drama is indeed a female ensemble, with quite deep characterization of several female leads. Its evaluation and popularity in the previous life were very good, belonging to a good drama that will become popular once filmed.

Originally, Luo Quan planned to tell Wen Xia and the others after a while, but now that it happened, she told everyone in advance.

Just after the meeting, the revenge from Jiaoyang Artists came.

It was faster than Luo Quan imagined, and also more powerless than imagined.
