Chapter 821: Official Wu Gong Halls
After this incident of righteous intervention, the authorities clearly tightened the management of martial artists.
In truth, this incident had nothing to do with martial artists; both parties involved were ordinary people.
But if an ordinary person, when pushed to a frenzy, could chase down and hack at over a dozen people, how much death and injury would be caused if it were a martial artist instead?
It is just like a gun; for a powerful martial artist, killing someone is really just a matter of lifting a finger.
Therefore, strictly regulating this kind of power is extremely important.
Currently, the authorities are compiling a national list of martial artists and will soon notify these individuals to gather, requiring them to strengthen their study of character and ethics.
Of course, for an excellent citizen like Luo Quan who has always been law-abiding, this is unnecessary.
Besides this, the authorities have also launched a plan: to establish official martial arts halls, or rather, martial arts schools.
Private martial arts halls currently lack standards, with serious issues of indiscriminate charging, and the masters themselves may not necessarily teach real skills; it is very likely that students spend money and time only to end up learning nothing of substance.
Therefore, the authorities are preparing to set up state-run martial arts schools to teach students truly useful skills at more affordable prices.
Additionally, they will add martial arts majors to various 985 universities, starting with pilot programs at Jingcheng University and Qinghua University, and if the results are good, they will be promoted nationwide.
This is equivalent to giving those excellent martial artists a job to make a living, saving them from idling away their time wandering in society every day.
Upon receiving the document, Qinghua University immediately called Luo Quan, inviting her to serve as an honorary professor at the Qinghua Wu Gong Academy.
She would not need to teach at the school every day; coming to give a few major lectures per semester would suffice, which would add some popularity to the major and bring some heat to Qinghua.
For Luo Quan, this is actually a win-win deal.
She can obtain the title of honorary professor at Qinghua without expending too much energy; even if it is just a newly established major, it is already quite prestigious.
After all, Qinghua University recently ascended to the number one university in Asia and entered the top twenty in the world university rankings for the first time.
Although this is just a ranking made by an American institution and may not necessarily be better than other universities in Asia.
But at least Qinghua's strength and reputation are quite good on a global scale.
It would be even better if the aesthetics of a certain academy were improved.
In short, Luo Quan gladly accepted Qinghua University's invitation.
After accepting, Qinghua University immediately used its official Weibo to promote it:
"Warmly celebrating the first honorary professor of our university's Wu Gong Academy—Luo Quan!"
Below that were Luo Quan's photos and a brief introduction, mainly talking about what kind of fist techniques she excels in.
And Luo Quan happened to have started a live stream, and fans asked one after another:
"Luo Bao is awesome, she's actually become a professor at Qinghua."
"Luo Bao is a dignified True Martial Realm expert, the number one warrior of Europe; isn't it normal for her to be a professor?"
"Speaking of which, why does your introduction say you excel in Wing Chun and Tai Chi? Isn't that just nonsense?"
"There is too much that Luo Bao knows."
"New fans definitely don't know that Luo Bao actually excels in Kendo, the Beichen One-Blade Style!"
"Rurouni Kenshin, right? But I remember the Kenshin she played used the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryū."
"Luo Bao said before that her Beichen One-Blade Style is a lost Japanese Kendo, and the level is very high."
"After all, she is the omnipotent goddess."
"Speaking of which, what martial art does Luo Bao think she excels in the most?"
………………
Facing the fans' questions, Luo Quan raised her fist and chuckled: "That must be the Pastoral Fist Technique; and that man is not virtuous, intentional punching."
"Good fellow, female 'Jingfu' (a term for a man who beats women), is it?"
"Luo Bao doesn't seem very friendly to big guys."
"The world's number one female boxer is like this."
"Luo Bao, don't be like this, I'm a bit scared."
………………
Of course, all of the above were just jokes.
Her strongest martial art currently is definitely the Eight Inner Gates, and after opening the third gate, she can already release the 'Curry Stick' (Excalibur); by the time she reaches the fourth or fifth, Luo Quan feels she is not far from entering the Earth Immortal realm.
However, the system reminded her that the concentration of Qi on Earth is slowly increasing.
Previously, it was only enough to allow those antiques with spiritual intelligence to awaken, but now, it is truly enough for a large number of practitioners to condense sufficient power and release it externally.
Of course, within two or three years, these will definitely still be the privilege of a few.
For the external release of Qi to become popularized, it is estimated that one will have to wait a while longer.
However, it just so happens that most people are currently crossing the river by feeling the stones, so it doesn't matter if the progress is a bit slow.
By comparison, a cheat-using player like Luo Quan is the true anomaly.
While everyone else is still fighting with spears, she has already pulled out an AK47; it is truly not talking about martial virtue.
"The lead single for the English album is a matter of these one or two weeks; it won't be long."
No fans in the live stream mentioned this, but Luo Quan herself spoke up first: "Everyone, help me think of a name for the album; I don't have a clue right now."
"I graduated from elementary school, are you asking me?"
"It belongs to a cultural desert; you don't think everyone watching your live stream at this hour is a college student, do you?"
"What's wrong with 11 PM? Who stipulated that college students can't stay up late?"
"I've been in college for several years, and I haven't rested before 12 o'clock a single day; with this pace of life, who still sleeps so early?"
"Straying off-topic, let's talk about the album."
"It feels quite simple, how about calling it 'The Greatest Album in History'?"
…………
"The Greatest Album in History……"
Luo Quan looked at this bullet comment, and then at the chorus of agreement that followed, and was directly speechless: "You guys are really bold to shout that; aren't you afraid of attracting hate for me?"
"What's wrong with that? With your talent, there's nothing inappropriate about shouting such a slogan."
"Actually, Luo Bao's worry is also reasonable; let's change it to something more tactful."
"Then call it 'The Second Greatest Album in History'?"
"Haha, is there a big difference?"
…………
Sure enough, letting fans brainstorm is a mistake; they can't come up with a few serious names.
"Forget it, I'll think of one myself later; it's really unreliable to let you guys help."
Luo Quan waved her hand, telling the fans to stop the brainstorming.
As for the new songs on this new album, some new elements can be appropriately added.
A while ago, there were always people on the foreign internet pushing the narrative of her being racist, saying that one couldn't see many black people in her movies.
Although this is a fact, in the movies she filmed, there were no roles suitable for black people to begin with.
Of course, people won't care about this; they will only believe what they see.
So Luo Quan plans to put together a song to clarify things.
You say I'm racist, then I'll put together a piece of music full of African flavor; the lyrics will use your ancestors' language, but don't blame me if you can't understand it.
A little bit of rhythm won't have much of an impact on her either.
Now music fans all over the world are waiting for her new album.
And over in Japan, there is no special expectation for the English new album.
By comparison, they would rather have Luo Quan return to Tokyo to be a director.
But not to be a director for a certain movie, but to be a director for this year's Tokyo Olympics.
At the closing ceremony of the London Olympics, the Japanese Prime Minister crawled out of a pipe, cosplayed as the well-known game character Super Mario, and brought the 'Tokyo Eight Minutes' to the whole world.
As the originator of 2D culture, Japan's ACG culture is extremely influential worldwide.
Those under forty have more or less understood or liked this kind of culture.
And besides this, Japan's achievements in art are also quite good.
Movies, music, TV dramas; Japan has its own unique beauty, and it once reached a quite high level.
So for this Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony, many people have huge expectations.
Even many compatriots hope to see an opening ceremony better than the 2008 Jingcheng Olympics opening ceremony.
Let's not talk about what the composition of these people is.
Just looking at this expectation, to be honest, the difficulty is not generally high.
After all, the 2008 Jingcheng Olympics opening ceremony is recognized as one of the most excellent Olympic opening ceremonies, and one can even remove the 'one of'.
Rarely can any country be like Huaxia, possessing five thousand years of profound culture to show to the people of the world.
When that scroll, as long as Huaxia's history, slowly unfolded, it had already surpassed many opening ceremonies.
It is no exaggeration to say that the 2008 opening ceremony was a peak in human large-scale performance, showing the world the new face of Huaxia after its rapid economic development.
Not only was the scene magnificent, but the significance was also extraordinary.
By comparison, whether Japan, which is currently going downhill, can make its opening ceremony achieve a similar effect, the difficulty is not generally high.
If it were before, there were still quite a few people who held confidence in Japan's modern and contemporary artists.
A series of news since the beginning of this year has directly caused all this confidence to collapse.
First is corruption, extremely serious corruption.
From the highest officials responsible for organizing the Tokyo Olympics to those small functionaries below, almost everyone has had their hands in the till.
And by the time the Japanese government noticed something was wrong and prepared to send financial officials to investigate, the official committed suicide.
And along with the suicide being exposed, there was also a huge amount of corruption.
This time, in order to organize the Tokyo Olympics well, the Ministry of Finance allocated nearly 20 billion yen, and what truly fell into the hands of the organizers is currently only about 1 billion yen.
The rest was basically squeezed by the pairs of hands in between.
The corruption rate is as high as over 90%; besides being bold, their hearts are truly black.
With insufficient funds, it is basically impossible to create a grand scene.
But if the ideas are cleverer and some exquisite programs are designed, even if they are not so shocking, they can actually leave a deep impression on people.
However, the Tokyo Olympics director group doesn't know what kind of madness they have caught this time; they abandoned their most influential ACG culture, abandoned the music created by countless masters, and turned to choose an extremely 'underworld' (creepy/bizarre) performance style.
From the information revealed so far, the Tokyo Olympics director plans to let the people of the world revisit the classic horror movie 'Ju-On'.
That Miss Kayako who once scared billions of viewers around the world is expected to get the same way of appearance as the Japanese Prime Minister four years ago.
The Japanese Prime Minister crawled out of a pipe, and she should crawl out of a well of a similar shape.
In terms of program effect, they have the same effect, after all, both are shocking.
It's just that one is a surprise, and one is a fright.
Besides Miss Kayako, the director group also plans to use body cells to compile a stage play.
In the climax stage, a large number of cancer cells dressed like aliens will appear, which belongs to echoing across the sea with the masterpiece 'Cancer' by a certain leader in Huaxia.
If he is invited to sing a song at that time, the effect will be even more explosive.
Besides these two programs with the biggest points of criticism, the Tokyo Olympics has also prepared quite a few other surprises.
Going out to prepare a special cafeteria using aquatic products from nuclear radiation areas to make sashimi for the athletes.
Headless human face balloons floating in the streets from time to time.
And narrow dormitories that can only be made of cardboard due to insufficient funds.
Currently, only these 'underworld' operations are known, but these are already quite outrageous; even the King of Hell would shake his head upon seeing them.
Although there are still a few months before the Olympics are held, it is still in time if they change now.
But looking at the appearance of the Tokyo Olympics director group, they seem quite satisfied with the programs they designed, claiming that they will not make subversive changes to the established programs and will try their best to show the world the unique beauty of Japan.
Hearing this, the people of the world were a bit unable to hold it together, and the people of Japan were completely desperate.
This is the rhythm of losing face at their own doorstep; after all, Japan has so many years of history, and its economy was once so developed that it was claimed it could buy the United States at its peak.
Even if it has fallen now, it shouldn't be to the point of not being able to organize an Olympic opening ceremony.
And the government was counting on this Olympics to replicate the economic take-off of the last century.
It was clearly a project that needed to be valued and was indeed valued, but it ended up like this, which is really incomprehensible.
And when sad, the Japanese people naturally thought of their goddess Luo Quan in Huaxia.
They earnestly hope that Luo Quan will not just write a few songs for this Tokyo Olympics.
Finally, she should directly parachute into the director group, kick out those bastards who should commit seppuku to apologize, and then personally take the knife to re-plan the Tokyo Olympics.
Believing in her talent, she will definitely be able to create an opening ceremony that everyone will never forget!
The above are all the fans' wishful thinking.
Because the Japanese government never thought of letting her be the director.
And she is also completely uninterested in this matter now.
If they had looked for her last year, if the remuneration was sufficient, maybe she would have reluctantly agreed.
But now, there are only five months left, how can it be done?
It is obvious that the Tokyo Olympics opening ceremony has already been smashed in their hands; with so much funds embezzled, no matter how clever the ideas are, they won't be able to produce any good work.
Those directors are probably also deliberately slacking off, otherwise how could they produce such 'underworld' programs?
Now wanting her to take the blame, there is no way! ===== CHAPTER 822 =====
