Main text:

After Miss Luo Quan returned to the stage, the way the celebrities looked at her was different.

It was as if they were looking at a hero, and also as if they were looking at a reckless person.

"You are truly fierce; you said everything I wanted to say the most."

Wen Xia gave Miss Luo Quan a thumbs up, her eyes full of admiration and disbelief.

Miss Luo Quan snorted: "Someone should come out and talk about these things; since no one else dares to start the fight, then I will. Anyway, I'm not afraid of offending people."

She didn't lower her voice when saying this, so people nearby probably heard it all.

Lin Ruoli looked around; everyone's expressions were a bit unnatural, some laughing, some angry.

In fact, from the attitudes of these people, one could also know what they thought about unspoken rules.

Although the boss didn't name names, they were all in the circle; could others not know if there was any movement?

People don't enter hotel rooms out of thin air, nor do they disappear out of hotel rooms out of thin air.

With so many paparazzi reporters outside the hotel, one can estimate the time and know whether they are interviewing or doing other things.

So, the boss's words were actually not much different from pointing at these people's noses and scolding them.

And it was in front of the entire internet, and it was a livestream; this influence was unparalleled.

"I seem to have followed an incredible boss."

Lin Ruoli looked at Miss Luo Quan, her eyes filled with nothing but her figure.

No one expected that the most heavyweight part of tonight's awards ceremony would actually be Miss Luo Quan's acceptance speech.

After the result for Best Film came out, it didn't even make it into the top ten of the hot search.

But Miss Luo Quan's denunciation of the entertainment industry's unspoken rules had already set off a huge wave.

Miss Luo Quan's fans came out to stir the pot:

"Those who have encountered unspoken rules, and those who have been asked to carry out unspoken rules, now is the time to come out and report it while the heat is on; it might have a very good effect.

Of course, if anyone takes this opportunity to muddy the waters and slander others, with such high attention, your end will also be very miserable."

One can only say that fans are like their idols.

Miss Luo Quan herself is fearless, so her fans are naturally unbridled in their speech.

They directly asked victims to come out as witnesses.

Unfortunately, although this rhetoric was very inflammatory, almost no one actually came out to report.

Abroad, the momentum of similar "Me Too" movements was very grand, with numerous actresses who had been harmed by unspoken rules coming out to speak, causing countless producers, directors, and male stars to be ruined.

And those actresses who dared to speak out became representatives of "feminism," and their image was greatly improved.

But if the same situation happened domestically, the most they would get might be slut-shaming.

For example: It takes two to tango; if you didn't want to be famous, why would you be subjected to unspoken rules; you used them and then turned around to report them, right; although the one who used unspoken rules isn't a good thing, you are not a good person for being complicit.

Such words would definitely exist.

Many people in this society pursue the "perfect victim," and they also like to engage in victim-blaming.

As if an illegal infringement event happened, both sides are responsible.

It is precisely because of this atmosphere that those artists who have suffered or almost suffered from unspoken rules do not intend to speak out.

Just like those female fans who wrote essays to expose their idols before, if they weren't extremely disappointed and at their wit's end, who would make such ugly things public?

And most artists are definitely still thinking about how to develop better and go further in this circle.

If they really came out to report, let alone whether they could ruin the perpetrator.

Their own future career would likely be very bleak.

Therefore, unless Miss Luo Quan posted on Weibo promising to sign those artists who reported, for the sake of their own future, these people would mostly not come out to speak.

So despite the big setup and so many people stirring the pot, the entertainment industry was basically still calm.

Perhaps some people would even complain, complaining that Miss Luo Quan came out to ruin their good things.

And these people could be men or women, and the ratio is also very even.

There is a saying: When a beam of light shines into a dark iron tower, exposing the filth and evil inside, then this beam of light becomes a sin.

Fortunately, this beam of light from Miss Luo Quan contains a temperature of millions of degrees.

Perhaps she cannot dispel the darkness, but if any hand dares to go up and cover it, it will be pierced through in an instant.

With such a beam of light in the room, everyone will be very uncomfortable, and they will be exceptionally careful when moving around.

This is the effect Miss Luo Quan wanted.

She knows she cannot change the status quo with just one sentence, but at least she can let everyone know that she is speaking out for this matter.

As Miss Luo Quan's best friend, Wen Xia actually understands her heart the most.

She also encountered unspoken rules when she was in South Korea in her early years, and the situation was even more dangerous than that of ordinary stars.

What stars encounter is usually a director or producer, and after refusing, it's nothing more than not filming the play.

But what she encountered in South Korea was an official, and at that time, his subordinates were also nearby.

It was fortunate that she reacted quickly, sensed something was wrong, and left immediately; plus, she wasn't Korean, and that official had some concerns, so she escaped a disaster.

Since then, she has often had nightmares.

In the nightmare, the official's fat-pig-like body slowly approached her, which was very scary.

This state lasted until she returned to South Korea again.

But that time she went back, she wasn't alone, but with Miss Luo Quan.

That official who had premeditated evil intentions toward her was also struck by Miss Luo Quan's heavy fists, beaten until his nose was bruised and his face swollen, and he lost several teeth.

Looking at it now, Miss Luo Quan held back at the time.

It can be said that Miss Luo Quan saved her life.

And she is still working hard now, wanting to save other people's lives.

Of course, some people are self-depraved, don't want to be saved, and are not worth saving.

But at least Miss Luo Quan treats everyone equally.

So sometimes Wen Xia feels that having such a good best friend is the luckiest thing in her life.

Perhaps she was too moved, so much so that she didn't even notice she had lost the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actress.

After the Best Film award was presented, the remaining awards were released one after another.

Although "Farewell My Concubine" still had many nominations, it didn't win another award afterward.

All nominated films could only win one award at this awards ceremony, no matter how excellent their quality was, they couldn't move the mass judges.

Miss Luo Quan watched from below the stage with a blank expression, only feeling that this scene was completely like dividing pork—one piece for each, everyone happy.

Dividing pork is fine, but they still had to have mass judges vote to make it look objective and fair, when in fact everyone knew what the result would be.

Miss Luo Quan suspected that the tie between "Farewell My Concubine" and "Lake" was also arranged long ago, to replicate the famous scene at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Unfortunately, it seems I still need to polish my acting skills." Wen Xia came back to her senses and found that she only got twenty-something votes, not even second place, so she sighed self-deprecatingly.

"Next time we won't fight for supporting actress, we'll go for lead actress." Miss Luo Quan tilted her head to comfort her.

Compared to Best Supporting Actress, Best Lead Actress must be more prestigious.

Considering that there are really no good films in the mainland film circle at present, she estimated that she could just film anything, and then properly train Wen Xia, and winning an award shouldn't be difficult.

In "Farewell My Concubine," Wen Xia's screen time was just too little; although brilliant, it added up to no more than five minutes.

But next time she won't make this mistake again.

The awards ceremony ended, and tonight's Hundred Flowers Award can be said to be a happy ending for everyone, with everyone having an award.

Of course, if Miss Luo Quan hadn't gone up to say those words, there would probably be more happy people.

In fact, it would be fine if she put this matter on the table, but the most feared thing is that Miss Luo Quan's words would make the authorities decide to have another "Clear and Bright" action, which would be a big problem.

During the last "Clear and Bright," how many big names in the domestic entertainment industry were forced to retire, and how many veterans went to prison.

Although it cleaned up a part, to be honest, just a part is far from enough.

In this environment of the domestic entertainment industry, if everyone were caught, there would definitely be innocent ones.

But if one out of five is caught, there will definitely be many who slip through the net.

It's not that they fear Miss Luo Quan speaking out, but that they fear attracting the attention of the authorities and getting another iron fist.

The good news is that tonight, other than Miss Luo Quan hitting the hot search, there was no other movement.

The next day, the Hundred Flowers Award organizers issued a statement, apologizing to Li Wen for the problem with the on-site earpiece equipment.

An earpiece is a device used by singers to hear their own singing; if you don't wear an earpiece, it's very difficult to hear what you are singing by just listening to the floor monitor.

If this equipment has a problem, it's easy to go off-key and lose the rhythm.

That's why Li Wen presented such a car-crash scene last night.

Of course, the voice becoming like that can't be blamed on the earpiece; after all, she is old.

And the apology statement issued by the Hundred Flowers Award organizers this time can be considered helping Li Wen save face, not letting the scene become too ugly.

However, to be fair, Li Wen, who hadn't had much heat for a long time, hit the hot search several times in a row because of a car-crash scene.

Fans and passersby even helped explain, saying that at least it proved she was singing live, or that everyone has mistakes, who can guarantee that there will be no mistakes on site?

Then, Miss Luo Quan was brought out again and again to refute it.

"Miss Luo Quan has never made a mistake so far, and her stage has never had a car crash."

Miss Luo Quan felt helpless after seeing this.

Although she likes fans to flatter her, this is completely bringing her hate.

Others make mistakes, their fans wash the ground for their own stars, and as a result, they bring her out to refute it—what is this?

But that "at least it proves it's live singing" is indeed quite funny.

I don't know if her thinking is too outdated, but has the standard of the domestic entertainment music circle dropped so low now?

Sighing lightly, Miss Luo Quan refreshed the Weibo hot search to see what new tricks these people in the domestic entertainment industry could come up with for her today.

After flipping for a while, there really was something.

First, two new variety shows appeared.

One is called "Super Singing Stage," aimed at all new singers, internet celebrity singers, idols, old singers with promotional needs, and crossover film and television artists.

As long as you want to come and have energy, you can come.

It's just that the rules of this variety show are too outrageous, leaving Miss Luo Quan stunned.

First of all, each episode only invites five groups of guests, and the duration of each episode is an hour and a half.

If you only sing, you can finish it in half an hour.

And the remaining hour is all arranged by the production team to play games.

There are sports games similar to "Running Man," and language games similar to "Ace vs. Ace"; in short, it's mainly for comedy and mobilizing the atmosphere.

After each game, the guests are asked to go up and sing a song, and after singing, they score the performance.

Note, the divine operation of the production team is here.

In addition to the 400 votes from the live audience, the singers themselves also have 400 votes in their hands.

After singing, the singer scores their own singing performance, and then subtracts the audience's score; the closer the resulting number is to zero, the higher the ranking.

Seeing this, Miss Luo Quan truly admires the brains of the production team for being able to think of such a thing.

With such rules, you don't even need to look at strength; you need to look at the guests' mathematical ability and grasp of the audience's psychology.

It sounds like it has a lot of hype and can be considered a fusion version of "Super Brain" and "Ace vs. Ace."

But the key is that this is a music variety show, the singing part is less than one-third of the time, and the voting part is so ridiculous.

Originally, Miss Luo Quan felt that this singing stage had some potential and might be able to unearth many newcomers or powerful singers.

Now it seems it's just another entertainment product with no real meaning.

As for the other variety show today, it is the big production "Sisters Who Turn the World Upside Down" that Mango TV has been preparing for a long time.

When this variety show was promoted early on, it was too powerful; it invited more than thirty female stars, more than half of whom were former goddesses, top streamers, and old seniors.

And among the young female stars, quite a few have also been popular for a period of time.

It can be said that the female stars on this invitation list are all not to be trifled with.

Putting them together, let alone deliberately doing any variety show, just listening to them talk is a program effect.

Three women make a play; with thirty women, the only thing Miss Luo Quan can think of is "Empresses in the Palace."

That is truly intrigue and step-by-step danger.

Sometimes you can interpret several pages of inner analysis from one sentence.

With such an outrageous lineup, netizens only thought Mango TV was doing marketing and that it was impossible to gather so many big names.

However, as the top dog of domestic entertainment, Mango TV's ability has never been blown out of proportion.

Today, "Sisters Who Turn the World Upside Down" was officially announced, and all the female stars on the previous list were invited.

Not just netizens, even Miss Luo Quan herself was stunned, thinking they really gathered these people.

If they tear each other apart while recording the show, I don't know how lively it will be.

Just like many people like to watch women fight, Miss Luo Quan also likes to watch.

Besides that, she is also very interested in watching women argue.

She decided to follow this variety show to see what kind of tricks Mango TV can come up with these sisters.

She feels that if everyone doesn't argue on the first day they are together, it's already a success.
