Chapter 843: Adapted from a True Case

"What bicycle do you want?" Qi Yuan showed a puzzled expression.

"Yeah, what bicycle do you want." Luo Quan said with a smile.

Now Qi Yuan understood; foreigners might not know, but Chinese people basically all understand this meme; after all, this is one of the punchlines from the representative work of the King of Spring Festival Gala sketches.

Qi Yuan understood Luo Quan's implication and immediately said: "Don't worry, the Wu Gong Management Bureau will not forget your contribution this time; as long as there is a place where you need help in the future, just shout."

"Don't wait for the future."

Luo Quan waved her hand; she knew the principle that if you don't use it, it will expire; the "future" mentioned in this scenario, who knows how long that will be.

"I happen to have a TV series that needs a large number of martial artists to appear; I don't know if the Wu Gong Management Bureau has manpower to help?"

"It's just a cameo, it won't take up too much of your time."

If Director Qi and the others were police, Luo Quan definitely wouldn't make such a request.

However, the Wu Gong Management Bureau doesn't have an establishment, and their identities aren't as formal as the police; coming to act in a TV series shouldn't be a problem.

And Director Qi didn't expect Luo Quan to be so straightforward.

Actually, he was just being polite when he said that.

Luo Quan is a big star and has money; her status above is even higher than his own, so he estimated she wouldn't have any favors to ask of him, which is why he could be so generous.

Who knew she would be so honest and not polite.

"Since you have a need, it just so happens that I brought quite a few people this time; how many people do you want to cameo, just say it." Qi Yuan was also very straightforward, letting Luo Quan make her request.

"Then let them all come; work starts tomorrow, food and housing provided, and performance fees settled by the day." Luo Quan made arrangements in a thunderous manner.

The Hengdian violent case came to an end here; the police, with the help of enthusiastic citizen Luo Quan, brought the criminal Zhu Yu to justice.

Facing the ironclad evidence like a mountain, Zhu Yu confessed to his criminal facts.

Although he changed his temperament because of his ancestor's calligraphy and painting, the social influence caused was indeed quite vicious, and a prison sentence was definitely unavoidable.

And as a first-rank martial artist, the punishment he received would be even more severe.

If it were in ancient times, he would definitely have his shoulder blades pierced to abolish his martial arts.

Modern times definitely wouldn't be so cruel, but during Zhu Yu's imprisonment, he must regularly undergo psychological assessments to confirm whether he will commit crimes again later.

This time he didn't hurt anyone, but if he came out in a few years and retaliated against society by killing people, the harm would be too great.

However, going to prison might not be a bad thing for him; staying away from his ancestor's murderous calligraphy and painting, maybe his personality will also improve.

Of course, these details were not disclosed to the outside world.

The announcement only mentioned that Zhu Yu was a martial artist and would be handled severely to serve as a warning to others.

On the way back to the hotel, Luo Quan also thought a lot.

Just such a piece of calligraphy has such great power.

Then if it were the Seven Kill Stele left by King Zhang, what kind of effect would it have?

The poem on the Seven Kill Stele is scary just to look at.

If it were the original manuscript left behind, would the murderous and resentful aura on it be trivial?

I'm afraid ordinary people would go crazy directly after coming into contact with it.

And besides this, there are actually quite a few similar antiques in Chinese history, but many have disappeared in the long river of history.

Some have already been destroyed, while others don't know where they are buried in the loess mountains and gullies, and don't know how long it will take to see the light of day again.

After the wild thoughts ended, Luo Quan returned to the hotel room to wash up and rest.

Although she went out temporarily to work overtime, the harvest was quite good.

First, she let the system suck a big mouthful of energy, getting closer to the day the portal opens, although she still doesn't know exactly how many days it will be.

Another thing is that she gained a group of experts from Director Qi's side to be supporting actors; these genuine martial artists will make the TV series' texture go to a higher level.

The next day, after Luo Quan arrived at the set, she first called the assistant director and assistant screenwriter: "Everyone pay attention, I plan to temporarily add a main plot to 'Under One Person,' and it has to happen before the original plot."

The assistant director's face was bitter: "But we've already filmed several episodes."

"It doesn't matter; this newly added part won't overturn the later plot; it can be seen as an enrichment of the background of 'Under One Person'."

Although the script hadn't been typed out yet, she had already decided what to add at the beginning; it was precisely the relatively niche modern action movie from her previous life, "Wu Gong Jungle."

The golden age of martial arts action movies was from the end of the last century to the beginning of this century; Shaw Brothers films opened the curtain of its brilliance, and countless filmmakers poured their blood and sweat into it, creating countless classics.

It's a pity that just like martial arts will eventually be eliminated by thermal weapons, martial arts movies were also eliminated by the times.

And "Wu Gong Jungle," in Luo Quan's view, was the last excellent genre film.

Although the box office was average and the popularity wasn't very high, the plot and action design were very flavorful.

Especially the story of ancient martial arts being lost in the steel jungle of modern society also coincided with the background of "Under One Person"; after changing the sect moves, it could almost be used directly.

Of course, the protagonist definitely couldn't be Xia Houwu, who was sent to prison for killing people.

Besides this, this movie and the cases that happened recently also looked a bit similar, so it wouldn't be impossible to say it was adapted from a true case.

Using this gimmick, if she could ride the popularity of the case, it would definitely save some publicity costs, which belongs to killing multiple birds with one stone.

Adding the group of experts brought by Qi Yuan to play supporting roles, the lineup was also quite powerful.

And all these were things Luo Quan thought of in an instant at the police station last night.

"The plot can be changed like this: martial arts fanatic Feng Yuxiu practiced hard for decades to become the world's number one; after his martial arts were completed, he came out of the mountains and attacked famous masters of fist, leg, and grappling techniques one after another.

The protagonist Zhang Chulan, because he bumped into the process of Feng Yuxiu committing crimes, was about to be silenced, and had no choice but to expose part of his strength; the two fought to a draw; because the police arrived, Feng Yuxiu ran away, while Zhang Chulan was taken back to the police station for investigation, eventually involving a mnemonic related to 'alien'…………"

Luo Quan narrated the outline of the plot, and several assistant directors and assistant screenwriters listened and took notes.

With an introduction, the plot became more layered.

The key is that the content has increased.

The previous arrangement was that the first season would only be filmed until Zhang Chulan received Zhang Lingyu's invitation letter, asking him to go to Long Hushan to participate in the Luo Tian Da Jiao.

The previous content wouldn't even take eight episodes to finish filming.

Luo Quan had been thinking about how to stretch this part of the plot to ten episodes.

Now with the Feng Yuxiu unit, ten episodes of content would be quite easy.

This was just an outline; Luo Quan still had to prepare the specific details later.

As for the casting of Feng Yuxiu, it was a problem.

A crazy martial arts fanatic isn't that easy to play, and he can't be too tall, and in the end, he must have a martial arts foundation, otherwise he won't be able to do the moves she wants.

After flipping through the contestant list of the Wu Gong Alliance Leader Conference for a long time, Luo Quan finally found a suitable candidate.

Lu Zheng, height 1.65 meters, third-rank martial artist, excels in Xingyi Quan, style is rigid, fierce, and ferocious.

The key is that before participating in the Wu Gong Alliance Leader Conference, he had been a star martial arts stunt double for a long time and had rich performance experience.

Although his performance in this Wu Gong Alliance Leader Conference wasn't particularly good, only 11th in Jiangnan Province, and he couldn't even advance to the national competition.

But he still gained a lot of fame through this competition; now there are many more film crews looking for him to be an actor than before, and they are all roles where he can show his face.

For him, who is not good-looking and can even be said to be a bit ugly, this was unimaginable in the past.

In the film industry, it's too hard for an ugly-looking martial arts star to become popular; usually, they can only play supporting roles.

The Wu Gong Alliance Leader Conference did Lu Zheng a big favor.

When Luo Quan contacted Lu Zheng, the other side didn't quite believe it, thinking it was a scam call.

"I really am Luo Quan; if you don't believe it, come to the set and see for yourself; I am very sincere in inviting you to play this important villain, and the price is negotiable."

Luo Quan was dumbfounded by Lu Zheng's caution, thinking that people's defensiveness is too high now; if she hadn't shouted in time, the other side would have already hung up the phone.

"Is it really Luo Quan?" Lu Zheng was still skeptical, "Then I'll come over to take a look later; if there really is a role for me, then I'd be very happy."

Lu Zheng is not a heavy internet user; most of his time is spent practicing martial arts.

But he had heard of Luo Quan's name; to be precise, it should be deafening.

If you ask an actor making a living in Hengdian if they haven't heard of Luo Quan, raise your hand; 100% no one will raise their hand.

This is called an international superstar.

Becoming an action superstar like Jackie Chan was Lu Zheng's childhood dream, and soon, he would meet another international superstar.

Five minutes later, Lu Zheng hadn't arrived yet, but Director Qi Yuan brought his subordinates to the set first.

There were seven martial artists who came to Hengdian with him to handle the Zhu Yu case, three fourth-rank, two third-rank, two second-rank, and Director Qi Yuan's own strength was comparable to a first-rank martial artist.

This lineup could easily take down Zhu Yu, but Luo Quan's actions were faster than them; before Qi Yuan's group got off the plane, she had already handled Zhu Yu.

Now, to repay the favor from last night, Qi Yuan also brought everyone over to act.

For these martial artists, meeting a True Martial Realm senior is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Not to mention getting a few pointers, just watching her usual words and deeds could lead to some insights.

Originally, everyone was quite excited at first, but after learning that this True Martial Realm "senior" was Luo Quan, their interest dropped significantly.

There was really too little to learn from Senior Luo Quan; she was purely a genius, the kind that heaven begs to feed.

Apart from her, the average age of other True Martial Realm martial artists was sixty-two.

Only she was not even twenty-six, appearing so out of place.

Many Daoist experts said that if she were born in ancient times, it is estimated that she would have ascended in a few years; the whole person felt like a god from heaven who came down to experience the world.

When the time comes, she will return to her position immediately.

Of course, these are jokes.

However, Luo Quan really didn't have anything to point out to these martial artists.

So the martial artists were a bit listless about this mission.

But at least food and housing were provided and there was a performance fee; just treat it as coming out for a public-funded trip; practicing martial arts in the room all day is indeed a bit stuffy, so changing to a place to improve one's mood isn't a bad thing.

In short, Director Qi Yuan's group of eight arrived at the scene.

Their roles were very simple; they were just playing the unlucky ones killed by Feng Yuxiu.

They didn't have many lines; they were just fighting against Lu Zheng, who played Feng Yuxiu.

But it definitely wasn't a real fight; many places needed to use slow motion.

Because the script and lines weren't out yet, Luo Quan prepared to finish all the fight scenes today.

The performance fees for these people were calculated by the day; finishing a day early could save a day's wages.

Another twenty minutes passed, and Lu Zheng arrived at the set.

He was indeed a man with an ordinary appearance and a thin build, looking to be in his early thirties, with some stubble on his face.

This image was not much different from the Feng Yuxiu in Luo Quan's mind.

"How is it, I didn't lie to you." Luo Quan greeted Lu Zheng with a smile.

"I didn't expect it to really be you."

Lu Zheng looked at the entire film crew, his eyes full of surprise: "I can't believe a big star like you would let me play in a TV series you're filming, and it's even an important role."

Luo Quan chuckled: "Heroes don't ask where they come from; I never look at fame when looking for actors, only whether they are suitable.

Your image and strength are very suitable for playing Feng Yuxiu; now it depends on whether you are willing."

"Can you tell me about this…… what kind of character is Feng Yuxiu?" Lu Zheng quickly became serious.

How good Luo Quan's film crew's conditions are is famous both at home and abroad.

After confirming that this was the shooting site of "Under One Person," Lu Zheng definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity that could change his destiny.

He is a martial artist, but also an actor.

How hard it is to make it in the entertainment industry, he knows better than anyone.

Especially without backing and looks.

Fortunately, he at least had martial arts skills and his acting was not bad; as long as he was willing to work hard, there would definitely be a day when he would stand out.

And Luo Quan could shorten the arrival of this day by a lot.

Seeing Lu Zheng so eager, a look of satisfaction appeared in Luo Quan's eyes.

This kind of actor is what she needs.

Like that Lan Yu from before, acting like she was on vacation; I don't know if I thought she was the investor; inviting an actor was no different from inviting an ancestor.

She wouldn't want this kind of actor no matter how well they acted.

And Lu Zheng, who treats acting as the first priority, is the ideal actor in her mind.

Working with such a professional person is also the most worry-free.

Soon, Luo Quan told Lu Zheng about the general personality, experience, and settings of the character Feng Yuxiu.

Lu Zheng frowned after hearing it.

Before, he had played many bit parts and also summarized some acting experience.

For him, a character like Feng Yuxiu is indeed quite challenging.

After thinking for a while, Lu Zheng said to Luo Quan: "Director, I can't guarantee how well I can play, but I guarantee I will do my best to work hard!" ===== CHAPTER 844 =====
