Chapter 859: Return of the King

Even as the world's number one female fighter, the peak of female combat power,

every month there are always a few days of bleeding; it's called a Flawless Golden Body, but for Miss Luo Quan, to be truly flawless, she still needs to add a sanitary pad.

And ever since her martial arts reached perfection, she hadn't been injured for a long time.

Precisely because of this, every time her "relatives" came, the abdominal pain was always particularly intense.

Every time this happened, she realized how useful Ibuprofen sustained-release capsules were.

One pill, and it could stop the pain in fifteen minutes, with effects lasting up to twelve hours.

If Ibuprofen came to her to film an advertisement during this time, Miss Luo Quan estimated she would be very willing.

"Your sister is having her period these few days, her mood is probably not good, don't provoke her."

In the room, Mia reminded Gao Liang, who was about to go out.

Usually, Gao Liang and Miss Luo Quan messing around was fine; she wouldn't use force when kicking him.

But if he bumped into her when she was in a bad mood, the consequences would be hard to say.

And regarding Mia's kind reminder, Gao Liang's expression was very surprised: "You remember this date too?"

Mia smiled and explained: "Girls, you know, are always sensitive to these numbers."

"Fine, I'll remember it."

Gao Liang answered perfunctorily, but in fact, he was quite serious inside; after all, it concerned his life.

Arriving at the set, Miss Luo Quan was gnawing on a pork floss butter bread as usual; after gnawing off a large chunk, she took a sip of real fruit juice.

"Such a heroic way of eating." Gao Liang said in a low voice.

As if hearing his brother's roast, Miss Luo Quan looked up.

Gao Liang's body stiffened instantly, thinking, can she really hear from so far away?

After walking over slowly, Miss Luo Quan greeted first: "Up so early today."

"Get up early to start practicing martial arts." Gao Liang answered hurriedly.

Miss Luo Quan looked at him with sympathetic eyes: "You really need to work harder; Cheng Nuo's martial arts are already heading towards the eighth grade. After returning to Shanghai, with the bonus of the Queen's crown, her strength growth will only be faster."

"What, Cheng Nuo is already almost eighth grade!" Gao Liang looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, almost jumping up from the ground.

It had already surprised him that Cheng Nuo had practiced internal energy before.

Now, how long had it been? Not even a full month, and she was already almost eighth grade.

What kind of speed is this?

Gao Liang suspected whether Cheng Nuo was the same character setting as those protagonists in Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Each one has high comprehension, and practicing martial arts is like a thousand miles a day.

Miss Luo Quan patted her brother's shoulder: "The situation is just like this, which is why I told you to work harder."

If this were a martial arts novel, Gao Liang felt he definitely wouldn't be the protagonist.

But he wouldn't lose his fighting spirit because of this; instead, a sense of competitiveness surged up, and he turned back to his room to continue practicing.

After Miss Luo Quan finished her bread and milk, she started filming.

She was busy until noon, and then on the dining table, while eating fish-flavored shredded pork rice, she watched today's news.

First was the freshly released World's Top 500 Enterprises; usually, this list has no influence, but today it hit the hot search.

And the reason was that all real estate companies in the Top 500, except for the Albert Group, were all from China.

Chinese people fell into silence after seeing this list.

Currently, real estate business around the world is still quite profitable; it's not surprising to enter the World's Top 500.

But what's unexpected is that the vast majority of them come from China.

And the only exception is a behemoth that dominates Europe.

However, thinking carefully, it doesn't seem strange either.

The Evergrande Group had just reported news of a thunderclap, with two trillion in debt; there were unfinished buildings everywhere in the country, and clients who bought houses with loans were gathering in groups at the Ark real estate project to ask for an explanation.

And Evergrande's boss said on his lips that he would coexist and perish with Evergrande, would never run away, and would try every means to pay off the debt, letting clients live in houses as they wished.

However, this kind of baseless promise is no harder than a bubble.

What is the concept of two trillion in debt?

Many people might not be particularly clear; they just know that many workers, working without eating or drinking, from 65 million years ago when dinosaurs went extinct until now, might not be able to scrape together two trillion.

Tencent, the company with the highest market value in China, is only over 2.8 trillion.

It's equivalent to cashing out more than half of Tencent's stock to cover Evergrande's debt.

The scale of one Evergrande is already so terrifying, and it's just one of many real estate companies in China.

Looking at it this way, it's not surprising at all that Chinese real estate occupies so many seats in the World's Top 500.

Speaking of which, doing real estate is really easy to have accidents; the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis was also because of the collapse of US real estate, leading to a global financial crisis.

In addition, there is China's former richest man, Siling of the Yifa Company, who also did real estate; the whole company was almost gone, and it only survived by selling many company assets.

Before, when Siling was still China's richest man, his son Sicong was arrogant; there was no one in the entertainment industry he dared not roast, and he even held a variety show to openly "select a concubine."

Some called him the "citizen husband," some called him the "entertainment industry discipline inspection committee," and many black materials of celebrities were exposed from his mouth, true and false indistinguishable.

However, one has to say, Sicong really did create a lot of fun back then.

But after the Yifa Group had an accident, plus the investments he made himself lost everything, Sicong became much more low-key.

He rarely speaks on Weibo anymore, but occasionally he is photographed by netizens entering and leaving some entertainment venues, and the internet celebrity girlfriends around him are never repeated.

Facts prove that if a rich second generation only eats, drinks, and plays, they really can't lose much money.

But what's scary are those who don't have enough ability but don't want to just drift through life; letting them do business, a little carelessness results in losing hundreds of millions.

Currently, it seems the water in real estate is getting deeper and deeper.

Before, she had made bold words, saying that when she became rich, she would also do real estate, specializing in affordable housing for those who didn't have enough money to buy houses.

Now thinking about it, she was quite naive.

With a net worth of only over 10 billion, she dared to fantasize about real estate; she really didn't know the height of the sky and the depth of the earth.

Sighing for the current and future "house slaves" in China, Miss Luo Quan closed this hot search full of closed and yin-yang comments.

The second hot search, compared to the first, made her happier.

That is, "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" is being released in two days, and the film company has also put all its strength into promoting the last film of this series.

As the female lead, Miss Luo Quan has also been forwarding it these past few days, letting everyone see her first kiss on screen.

Mentioning this, the fans were not in a good mood:

"You unchaste one, are you trying to learn from Pan Pan Jinlian?"

"NTR is fine, but you actually let me watch the NTR scene; you really are a bad woman."

"Why do I feel even more excited?"

"I'm Theseus; I heard there's a minotaur here?"

"Minotaurs must die!"

"Luo Bao kissing another man, don't, at least wait another ten years."

"Haha, everyone don't be so excited; actually, it's a camera angle, but it really looks sweet and moving, wooooooo~~~"

"Who could have thought that Luo Bao's first screen kiss was given away in this way?"

"I can't accept it; no matter how good this movie is, I won't watch it."

"Everyone stop discussing; Luo Bao apologized to me for a long time about this, making me forgive her, saying it was work needs."

"Good fellow, how many catties have you drunk?"

………………

It can be seen that the fans, from the initial rejection, despair, and grief, have gradually developed to the current acceptance, resignation, and even secret joy.

To summarize, it's just "let's make do; it's not like we can divorce, right?"

Actually, regarding the kissing scene, she had already greeted Director Ford several years ago when she was auditioning for the lead actress of The Lord of the Rings; it could only be a camera trick, not a real one.

She was rejected during the first audition because of this reason, but later Director Ford really couldn't find a good actress, so he finally decided to let her perform and also agreed to use PS and camera tricks to complete the kissing scene between her and Aragorn.

The kissing scene was completed last year, and at that time, Miss Luo Quan was no longer as shy about these things as she was when she first debuted.

And anyway, it wasn't real, so she didn't act coy and completed the filming very naturally.

The final effect presented was naturally stunning, embodying the emotion of the "Kiss of Victory" to the fullest.

And after The Lord of the Rings 3 was filmed, the editing, special effects, and soundtrack took a considerable amount of time, and it wasn't finished until April this year.

Then, there was two months of global promotion and warm-up.

A while ago, when the promotional video was released, they still asked Miss Luo Quan to write two songs.

Speaking of which, this was the only major production Miss Luo Quan had taken on since her debut.

Don't look at how much money the movies she filmed earned; whether it was Resident Evil or the other few, they were all low-budget.

The Lord of the Rings is the movie with the largest investment she has starred in, especially the third one.

In order to make her resume look better, Miss Luo Quan naturally brought out the promotional songs she felt were the best.

Which are "Starsky" and "Victory."

As common tracks for war-themed video editing in her previous life, these two songs are characterized by being "lit."

The songs are magnificent and grand, making people feel hot-blooded and eager to step onto the battlefield and fight the enemy for hundreds of rounds immediately.

The Lord of the Rings' own movie soundtrack was already excellent; it didn't need her to add anything.

But if it's the theme song for the promotional video, using these two would be absolutely explosive.

And because the songs were truly too lit, before the movie was even released, the promotional video had already gone viral across the entire internet.

Many netizens were asking what movie this was and if there were resources.

Then, knowledgeable movie fans would answer that this is the promotional video for The Lord of the Rings 3, and the movie will be released in a few days.

For this epic masterpiece that took nearly ten years to prepare and film, everyone is looking forward to it having a perfect ending.

From the first part, "The Unexpected Journey," which brought everyone into a fantasy Middle-earth world.

The second part, "The Desperate Defense of the City," let everyone see how a war movie with grand scenes should be filmed.

And every character in the movie made countless movie fans remember them deeply.

Gandalf with his white horse and long staff, Aragorn the King of Men with explosive masculine charm, Legolas the Elf Archer who is handsome to the point of exploding, and the Elf Princess who is so beautiful that even the stars tremble for her.

Now, this magical epic is about to welcome its final ending.

Mordor has launched its Doomsday War, attacking the King City of Gondor.

And the Ring-bearing squad, after going through all kinds of hardships, has finally arrived at Mount Doom.

How the final plot will develop is something movie fans have been looking forward to for a whole year.

Speaking of which, the first two parts of The Lord of the Rings were also ill-fated.

The costumes, makeup, props, actors, director, and script were all top-tier.

In any previous year, they would have been masterpieces capable of achieving excellent results.

Unfortunately, the year the first part was released, it encountered the politically correct "Green Book," and there was simply no competing.

And the second year's "Titanic" was even more despairingly strong, plus Miss Luo Quan's "The Silence of the Lambs" increased the difficulty of the selection.

Director Ford also forcibly delayed the release time of the second part of The Lord of the Rings by several months.

Then, this highly anticipated "The Two Towers" encountered Miss Luo Quan's "Forrest Gump" and "Joker."

One can imagine how wonderful Director Ford's inner thoughts were when he saw these two movies.

These two movies, especially "Forrest Gump," would definitely have taken the Oscars in any year.

In terms of political correctness, "Green Book" couldn't even compare to "Forrest Gump."

This is the ultimate embodiment of the American Dream, the way most Americans hope it to be.

Although "The Two Towers" had a bumper harvest in both box office and reputation, it ultimately couldn't be compared with the "American Dream."

If the Oscar ceremony wasn't an American award, it would be another story.

Fortunately, after 2 years of foreshadowing, The Lord of the Rings 3 has finally arrived.

The name of this part is "The Return of the King," and it's not just about Aragorn's story.

Director Ford feels that this symbolizes that he, like the movie's name, will once again rule Hollywood.

This is the final crystallization of his ten years of hard work; all his talent and all his fatigue were squeezed and drained, finally converging into "The Return of the King."

He has watched the finished film no less than twenty times, and every time he watches it, he feels that there has never been a movie in human film history more shocking than it.

In Director Ford's eyes, this is the best movie.

He is determined to win next year's Oscars.

With "The Return of the King," no matter who the competitors are, or what political correctness the judges want to play, he is not afraid.

Because this movie is truly too awesome; the kind where whoever touches it dies.

It was just that "Forrest Gump" was released early; if it had been released this year, next year it would only be able to obediently be the runner-up to him!

Director Ford, in private, sometimes thinks indignantly in his heart.

Of course, Miss Luo Quan doesn't know about these things.

However, she indeed has no plans to film a movie to compete for the Oscars this year.

The reason is simple: it's because of the release of "The Lord of the Rings 3."

This is the movie that has won the most awards in Oscar history, tied for first place with "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic."

Having accumulated emotions for so many years, it is indeed time for them to erupt.

If The Lord of the Rings doesn't win a major award next year, Miss Luo Quan herself won't be happy.

After all, she is the only lead actress of this epic masterpiece.
