Chapter 837: New Project

PS: Did everyone watch the super moon tonight? It's really white, big, and round.

Main text:

The masters came and went quickly, and after discussing the contract, they agreed to go to Xihu to see the scenery.

It is said that they had planned to livestream for fans at Xihu, and coming to Hengdian to discuss cooperation was just on the way.

And Luo Quan here, after driving away Lan Yu, couldn't find a suitable female role for a while.

Thinking about it, it's not easy to find an actress with Xia He's figure, and it'

So, Luo Quan decided to take the stage herself; just like when she played Jianxin before, a bit of makeup would suffice.

Besides, since she was playing a female character this time, she wouldn't need to bind her chest, so it was quite feasible.

It's just that she had never played a character of Xia He's type before.

In the words of netizens, this is one of the best...

Of course, if it were filmed exactly according to the original work, it would 100% fail the censorship review.

Xia He is naturally seductive; the vast majority of people who meet her involuntarily develop a fondness for her, and she is also very adept at using this succubus-like ability.

Therefore, her scenes and lines are basically restricted-level.

It might have been broadcast in the past, but now, even if she had connections at the SARFT, it would be impossible to pass censorship.

For the perverts, it is indeed hard to accept.

But there is no other way.

So, Xia He's plot and lines need to be changed, and some of the explicit behaviors and language from the original work must be toned down.

But the final effect presented must definitely be that of a tormenting little enchantress.

Come to think of it, Xia He didn't have many scenes in the original manga, but because she satisfied the audience's fetishes, her popularity was unexpectedly high.

For a character with such rigid physical requirements, having her play the role couldn't be more appropriate.

After making the decision, Luo Quan deleted the draft for the actor recruitment post.

On the second day of filming, after Luo Quan changed into Xia He's costume, just her profile left Gao Liang unable to look away, thinking to himself where the crew found such a top-tier beauty.

In fact, Luo Quan's hairstyle covered half her face, and the side Gao Liang saw happened to be the covered one, so he couldn't see her features.

But with a figure that looks like a mountain range from the side, she was 100% a great beauty.

"What are you looking at? That's your sister."

Mia kicked Gao Liang from behind; she had just come from the other end of the set and recognized that this beauty was Luo Quan.

"Holy crap, my sister?"

Gao Liang was shocked: "Why did she dye her hair when she had nothing better to do?"

Mia shrugged: "How would I know? Go ask her yourself."

"Forget it, livestreaming is more fun." Gao Liang shook his head, muttering "sin, sin" to himself.

Mia watched her boyfriend walk away with his head down, blinked, and then walked toward Luo Quan: "Director Luo, why did you dye your hair pink today?

Also, the V-neck on your T-shirt is quite deep."

Luo Quan replied: "The star I kicked out yesterday was supposed to play this role. She left, and I couldn't find a suitable replacement in a short time, so I had to take the stage myself.

How is it? Is this look seductive enough?"

Mia couldn't help but laugh: "It's more than enough. In the US, you'd be at the level of a hot girl. So sexy!"

"As long as it's enough. The character's persona is just like this."

Luo Quan nodded slightly. "By the way, for the photography, sound recording, and script supervision later, let Xiao Zhang, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Li handle it."

These three are all women; if they were male employees, Luo Quan was afraid they wouldn't be able to keep their eyes off her.

It wasn't that she doubted their professional ethics, but mainly because she was too confident in her own charm.

And the facts proved that when Luo Quan appeared on set with this look, it indeed caused quite a commotion.

Fortunately, she had given a heads-up in advance, so everyone adjusted relatively quickly.

Because her main job was still being the director, Luo Quan planned to finish her own scenes first.

First was the scene with the male lead's grandfather's corpse.

In the original work, Xia He sits directly on the old man.

That definitely couldn't be filmed here; it had to be changed to circling around the old man's corpse.

And the subsequent scenes with the male lead could be a bit more relaxed.

After all, Lin Mo, who played the male lead, was also a girl, so Luo Quan was unscrupulous when they were getting close.

But perhaps because Luo Quan's performance was truly too sexy, Lin Mo was blushing furiously the entire time.

Fortunately, the male lead was supposed to be in such a state at this time, so there was no need for a retake, and they just kept acting like that.

After filming for a day and a night, with most shots done in one take, Luo Quan finally finished all of Xia He's scenes.

After washing out the system hair dye, her hair turned back to gold, and everyone else thought she had been wearing a wig.

In the evening, Luo Quan posted several high-definition stills of Xia He to her feed, wanting to increase some buzz for the TV series.

Facts proved that perverts are the primary productive force.

Even though they were just a few simple stills, she didn't expect them to be pushed to the trending list by everyone.

"Good heavens, is Luo Bao's look and gaze too seductive?"

"It seems that ever since she wore black silk, she seems to have awakened some new attributes."

"Too beautiful, suggest filming more. Tongue-out. jpg"

"Haha, sexy is sexy, but can it pass censorship?"

"Probably not, so when the TV series is finished, Luo Bao should release a torrent and send everyone the uncut version."

"Hmm... that sounds a bit wrong."

…………

Clearly, while the fans were excited, they also doubted whether this look could pass censorship.

It's not that beautiful women with good figures can't appear in TV series.

But it's really rare to see one getting this close to the male lead.

Fortunately, the person playing the male lead is a girl and is one of their own from Quan Shui Entertainment, so it's not like the benefits are going to outsiders, which is why the fans are basically envious in a real-name capacity.

If it had been a man, he would probably have been roasted until smoke came out of his seven orifices.

As for what the fans were worried about, Luo Quan wasn't worried at all.

She had referred to similar scenes in previous TV series for the modified plot.

Since similar scenes had appeared in previous TV series, she dared to replicate them, and there basically wouldn't be any major problems.

Xia He only appeared for this one day, but she left an indelible impression in the hearts of fans, which could be said to be as classic as Alice's cheongsam look.

Since then, fans often asked Luo Quan in the comments section to try something bolder, like appearing in a swimsuit.

She was both annoyed and amused when she saw it. These fans really dared to dream; swimsuit appearances? Hadn't they seen enough of the two previous swimsuit sets?

No one could answer this question, and as for herself, she definitely wouldn't deliberately film a movie just for such a shot.

This kind of fan-service segment can only appear when the plot requires it; otherwise, it would seem too abrupt.

And while "Under One Person" was being filmed in full swing, the other side of the ocean was also very lively.

The Tokyo Olympics arranged for accountants to do the books, wanting to check how much of the budget had been embezzled this time and in which areas.

Then, within a week, two accounting officials committed suicide, and two resigned.

As the Tokyo Olympics drew closer, they couldn't even list the most basic material procurement list clearly.

Now the public online is cursing, while the government is playing dumb; the attitude here is truly intriguing.

On the other side, the Organizing Committee decided on a whim to add a no-holds-barred fighting event.

Regardless of weight class or fighting style, only divided by gender, as well as unarmed combat and weapons.

Once this news came out, it truly shocked the whole world.

Before this, the Olympics had never added an event on such short notice like this.

And this event was a sport that had only just become popular last year.

However, since the Organizing Committee had added it, if they had the ability to compete for this gold medal, they definitely wouldn't let it go; after all, it was national honor.

Of course, the one that agreed the most and was the most proactive was probably China.

I wouldn't dare speak for the men, but among the female athletes, no one would dare claim to be number one if Luo Quan claimed to be number two.

Whether it's unarmed combat or using weapons, she is absolutely at the peak level.

The title of "World's Number One Female Fighter" isn't just for show; these two gold medals were almost prepared for her.

With her strength, she couldn't think of a reason to lose.

After all, she had just beaten up a group of European experts a while ago.

After the new event was announced, the leaders of the Sports Bureau called Luo Quan overnight.

However, Luo Quan was sleeping soundly and didn't pick up.

The next morning, she discovered several missed calls, and only after calling back did she learn that such a thing had happened.

Facing the task assigned by the organization, Luo Quan naturally agreed happily.

Becoming an Olympic athlete to win glory for the country was one of her childhood dreams.

Most children probably fantasized about becoming athletes, scientists, astronauts, or writers, musicians, etc., when they grew up.

The next best thing was becoming a big boss and making a lot of money.

But for today's kids, many probably don't have such thoughts; becoming a celebrity, internet influencer, or streamer might be more attractive.

However, the reality is that no matter what you fantasize about doing, you only realize when you grow up that you actually have no choice at all.

Of course, Luo Quan definitely has a choice now.

At least her childhood dream finally had a day to be realized.

And after confirming her participation, she also made this good news public:

"After consultation, I will represent China in the Tokyo Olympics Women's No-Holds-Barred Unarmed Combat and Women's No-Holds-Barred Weapons Combat, upholding the higher, faster, stronger Olympic spirit, and launching an assault on the gold medals!"

Everyone had anticipated this news; they just didn't expect it to be so soon.

The news of the new event was just released by the Organizing Committee yesterday, and Luo Quan announced it today; those who didn't know might think it was premeditated.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, you'll know that Luo Quan is the only girl who holds the title of True Martial Realm, and she's so young.

Who else could they choose besides her?

There was no need to consider it at all, which is why they could be so decisive.

As for male athletes, there are too many experts to choose from.

Those participating in the Chinese Wu Lin Assembly this time were actually just a small fraction of the many experts.

There are many who didn't come out to participate for this little bit of money at all.

But it would be different if it were the Olympics.

This is winning glory for the country, the kind that can leave a name in history.

In this life, besides the physiological pursuit of eating, drinking, and excreting, fame is the most important thing.

So, as soon as the announcement was made that there would be a selection for the martial artists participating in this Olympics, hundreds of people signed up within a few hours.

Don't look at the fact that a hundred or so isn't many; these are all top-tier experts who have the ability to compete for the top ten at the Wu Lin Alliance Leader Assembly.

Judging by rank, they are at least Second-Grade Martial Artists.

And this is just the beginning.

As the publicity intensifies, there will only be more and more participants.

By then, those First-Grade Martial Artists, and even True Martial experts hidden among the people, will likely come out of the mountains.

It can only be said that having many people is good; usually, they don't show their faces, but when something really happens, these experts pop up one after another like mushrooms after rain.

Compared to the liveliness on the Chinese side, the Koreans are a bit impatient.

Less than a hundred years since the founding of the country, every antique with a bit of fame has been snatched away by Japan.

Don't look at the national flag with the Taiji; actually, it has nothing to do with Taiji, and even using China's I Ching to interpret the hexagrams, the ones on the Korean flag are all signs of great misfortune.

The only thing in the whole country with a bit of fame is Taekwondo.

But lacking the cultivation of top-tier antiques, the martial power of Taekwondo experts is far behind China's, let alone Japan's.

It must be said, Japan has such a long history, it really does have several treasures.

And it also snatched quite a few antiques from China before, which haven't been returned to this day.

In terms of heritage, Japan still has it.

Karate and Kendo have also developed quite well, with various schools blooming.

It can be said to be a strong contender for Olympic medals.

And as the host this time, if the athletes coordinate with the antiques native to Japan, the advantage they occupy is really not small.

Therefore, among the three East Asian countries, Korea's situation looks the worst, and it is already preparing to ask the United States if there is any way to achieve quick success.

As for China, it is quite confident.

This is accumulated from five thousand years of vast culture, which could only be shown to the world through the two Brother Longs before.

And now, it's finally the descendants' turn.

Just when the whole world was in a huge public opinion storm because of this new Olympic event.

Gao Liang, who had been cultivating wholeheartedly for more than half a month, finally achieved a breakthrough from zero.

On a morning that was no different from any other, he suddenly felt a bloated sensation in his stomach.

He originally thought it was impacted stool caused by eating too much last night.

As a result, he squatted in the bathroom for half an hour, only to find he couldn't pass anything at all.

And at this moment, he finally realized that this might be the "Qi" his sister talked about.

Thinking of this, Gao Liang ran out of the bathroom in high spirits to find his sister and report this good news.

Luo Quan took Gao Liang's wrist to diagnose him, then nodded: "It's indeed there."

"How many months along is it?" Wen Xia chimed in from the side.

Mia almost spat out the water in her mouth when she heard that.

Luo Quan was between laughter and tears, "It just appeared yesterday. Little brother, you've finally cultivated Qi; next, you can switch to a new cultivation method."

"Oh yeah!" Gao Liang clenched his fists excitedly, happy like a child.

Effort will always be rewarded; this is just the beginning.

He will walk the path of a martial arts expert faster and faster!
