Chapter 910
"It's so hot."
Returning to Earth, Luo Quan hadn't even had time to breathe the long-lost air of her hometown before she was hit by the incoming heat, making it almost impossible for her to open her eyes.
She left at the beginning of August, and now it is August 28th; logically, she should have avoided the hottest period.
At this time, Yuzhou shouldn't be very hot anymore.
"This temperature, something is a bit off." Luo Quan stood in the sun for only a few minutes, and her whole body was already soaked with sweat.
Originally, she thought she was a person who could tolerate heat well; when she was a child, to save money, the air conditioning in the summer was only turned on for an hour or two before sleep.
But today's weather was truly so hot that she wished she could immediately turn on the air conditioning and set it to 16 degrees.
"This temperature, I'm afraid it's over forty degrees."
Luo Quan opened her phone and called a taxi, preparing to return to the city first.
As soon as she turned it on, there were over thirty missed calls.
Wen Xia, Gao Liang, her dad, Manager Zhou Yangwen, and Blizzard Studio had all called to contact her.
Besides missed calls, there were some text messages, but they were basically asking how she was doing; there shouldn't have been any major events.
Opening Weibo, sure enough, Yuzhou's high temperature was already trending.
Since the beginning of September, there has been an extreme high-temperature weather event that only happens once in several decades, with daytime temperatures almost consistently staying above forty degrees.
And it's not just Yuzhou; many regions across the country have experienced such extreme high temperatures, which had never happened in previous years.
Although there has been constant talk about the greenhouse effect caused by massive carbon dioxide emissions and global warming, with even glaciers melting.
But because it basically happened abroad, most people in China didn't have a particularly clear concept of global warming.
However, this year, I guess the concept is quite profound! Because this summer was truly too hot.
Luo Quan searched and found that every day there were several trending topics reporting that high temperatures in various places had broken records.
And those cities that were originally famous as "furnaces" were even more bright red on the high-temperature warning map, with forty-plus degrees everywhere one looked.
This kind of extreme weather is uncommon and may become the norm in the coming years.
Luo Quan originally thought she could withstand the high temperature, but standing on the road at over forty degrees, she was still steamed to the point of discomfort.
Plus, being in the middle of nowhere, Luo Quan waited for a full ten minutes before finally getting into a car.
When the cold air in the car blew on her face, Luo Quan finally let out a long sigh of relief.
After entering the city and checking into a hotel, the first thing she did was turn on the air conditioning and take a cold shower.
After coming out, the heat accumulated in her body was finally swept away.
Opening the news on her phone, Luo Quan wanted to see if anything major had happened recently.
There really was.
A top-tier celebrity had collapsed due to improper love dealings.
After the specific news was exposed, it immediately sparked heated discussions across the entire internet; many fans were wailing as if their worldview had collapsed, and gossiping netizens didn't expect this person could do such a thing.
In previous years, this would have been a major event enough to cause an earthquake in public opinion.
But this year, it seemed less surprising.
Because the theme of this year is "collapsing," and he wasn't the only star to collapse this year.
Of course, after the matter was confirmed, it did spark quite a lot of discussion; after all, this person was so popular before, almost the founding father of the traffic-idol era.
Now, he is definitely completely finished and will be forever nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the entertainment industry, becoming a joke for everyone.
And netizens are also curious about how many other male artists in the circle are like this—looking decent on the outside but actually playing very wildly.
Many netizens believe that many stars actually have some involvement, it's just that some have been exposed and some haven't yet.
But if you want people not to know, you shouldn't do it; trouble is sooner or later.
So "collapsing" is not only the keyword for this year, but may also be the keyword for next year and the year after.
As the intensity and accuracy of those whistleblowers increase, those tainted stars will sooner or later be executed by justice.
At this time, someone asked, are there any clean male stars left in the circle?
Some extreme netizens bluntly said no, because men are not good things.
This set of "fist techniques" descending from the sky left everyone with no way to parry.
And it was indeed hard to refute, because recently it seems that all the stars who had trouble were male artists, and the reasons were always those same few things.
"Food and sex are human nature," the sage's words are indeed very reasonable.
After analyzing the men, netizens began to analyze the female stars.
Logically speaking, in the environment of the entertainment industry, everyone is birds of a feather.
With so many male artists collapsing, it makes no sense for all female artists to be pure and clean.
Just because it hasn't been exposed now doesn't mean there are no problems.
So everyone asked, are there any stars in the entertainment industry as decent as Huang Baoqiang?
This person couldn't even have dirt dug up on him by his own pillow-mate and agent, which shows how clean he is in private.
Actually, there are; netizens nominated Luo Quan one after another.
Although there hasn't been any new movement for nearly a month, there are still legends of the sister in the world.
Relying on her proud record of zero scandals since her debut, Luo Quan became one of the two winners in this netizen questioning assembly.
Like Baoqiang, she is also considered by netizens to be the high-quality female star least likely to break the law.
Except for being a bit lazy, having a big mouth, and having a bit of a short temper, she is almost perfect.
Perhaps knowing that Luo Quan had no time to look at her phone in the mountains, the fans' comments were very bold.
Clearly they should be praising her, but the comment section was full of people criticizing her.
Luo Quan was also a bit dumbfounded after seeing it, thinking that these people were really putting all their effort into mocking her while she was away.
Especially the nickname "Abyssal Bawanghua," I don't know which wicked person brought the new nickname she got at the Tokyo Olympics back to the country, and she was mocked for a good while again.
Unfortunately, during the time this nickname was circulating online, she happened not to be on Earth and had no way to stop its spread.
Now it has become a meme, and it's too late to stop it.
Fortunately, at least she can ensure that this title won't appear in her comment section and live broadcast room; whoever dares to act out of line will be directly arranged for a permanent ban!
After reading the news, Luo Quan edited a post.
Originally, she thought of many words to announce her return to her fans, but after thinking about it, she felt those words were too sentimental.
So the thoughts that went through a hundred turns finally turned into just one sentence: "I'm back."
In less than ten minutes, she was number one on both Bilibili and Weibo trending lists.
Perhaps because she had been missing for too long, just a single post could pull at the heartstrings of netizens so much.
Fans teared up one after another, shouting in the comment section:
"Why did you only just come back!"
"I waited for you until the flowers withered."
"Finally there's some movement, Luo Bao."
"You really made me miss you to death."
"Finally back, I thought you went on maternity leave, scaring me so much I couldn't sleep all night."
………………
Originally, the previous comments were quite sentimental, but when the last one came out, the style changed instantly.
Speaking of which, during the time she disappeared, there were indeed some troublemakers spreading rumors that she went on maternity leave, and they even analyzed it with great seriousness, which was alarmist to the extreme.
Although fans cursed them for spreading rumors, because Luo Quan herself never came out to clarify, it really made some netizens think it was true.
After seeing the comments, Luo Quan quickly added a post: "I went to the mountains for a vacation, but it is definitely not maternity leave."
Then she attached a photo of her stomach below the post, flat and smooth, without any problems.
Originally thought this matter would end here, but unexpectedly, the fans got excited:
"It seems that my affair with Luo Bao can no longer be hidden; that's right, I have a child with her."
"As a man, I can no longer remain silent and escape; yes, she went on maternity leave because of me!"
"Nonsense, it was clearly because of me!"
"Why are you, a female account, joining in the fun?"
"Discriminating against women, right? I'll give you a direct iron fist warning."
"Ah, this…………"
…………
So Luo Quan's fans are very strange.
When she is silent, some people spread rumors, and fans immediately debunk them while cursing the rumor-mongers.
Now that she has come out to clarify, one after another they jump out to admit it was them, leaving Luo Quan speechless; if she had known, she wouldn't have come out to clarify.
But regardless, this return was quite eye-catching.
Fans all said she was "Sister Wang's Return."
This is a meme from the movie "Detective Tang Renjie" that was popular a while ago; because of the supporting actor's magical accent, this sentence was particularly funny, and then it became popular.
Of course, "Detective Tang Renjie" had more than one meme that became popular.
As one of the last movies to be released in the summer season, looking at the trailer, everyone thought it was an absurd drama like "Lost in Thailand," with some detective elements attached.
Because both movies have Baoqiang, everyone was quite reassured about the comedy part.
As for the detective part, not many people held much hope; it was just for fun anyway.
As a result, after the movie was released, everyone found that this movie was truly good.
Not only were the jokes dense and the plot ups and downs, but the thriller and suspense elements were also grasped quite well; it belongs to a very good comedy movie.
Thus, this movie, which was released last in the summer season, instead came from behind and became the champion of this year's summer season.
It has currently harvested 1.5 billion in box office, and with the fermentation of audience word-of-mouth, the final box office breaking 2 billion is absolutely easy.
Undoubtedly, this is another classic case of low cost and high return.
The only real big-name star in the movie is Baoqiang, and the salaries of the others combined are estimated to be only a little higher than his.
Being able to achieve such huge success truly made many domestic capitalists sigh.
So it turns out that making a profitable movie is so simple, and it doesn't necessarily have to be about stacking traffic and hiring big names.
Of course, understanding how it works doesn't mean these people can replicate it.
Just like the movies Luo Quan filmed before, many of them were also low cost and high return, but currently, no one dares to imitate them.
Because no one thinks they have the ability to replicate Luo Quan's success.
However, many people in the country still feel that the success of "Detective Tang Renjie" can be replicated.
After all, there really aren't many domestic movies that combine comedy and crime investigation.
This is a huge blank space, and it seems that the audience is quite into this.
So after "Detective Tang Renjie" became popular, similar projects were quickly approved.
It is estimated that in less than a year, all kinds of "detective" movies will appear in theaters.
Of course, many people also hope that Luo Quan will come to film a similar movie.
Whether it's detective or not is secondary; the main thing is that everyone seems to have never really seen her act in a comedy.
In the many movies she has filmed since her debut, her roles have been relatively cold or deep images.
Although her acting skills are exquisite, it always makes people feel a bit monotonous.
Many netizens feel that good actors should be able to act in both comedies and tragedies, being able to be deep and melancholy, and also able to put down their status to make everyone happy.
Whether this sentence is right or wrong, Luo Quan feels it's not that she can't act in comedies.
But it's not the time yet, because she still owes a "Harry Potter" that hasn't been filmed.
Originally, it was agreed that this movie would meet everyone in the summer vacation, but plans couldn't keep up with changes; she was participating in the Olympics and going to the Universal Star to upgrade the system.
Things all happened together, and now that she's back, it's almost autumn, and "Harry Potter" hasn't started filming yet; even if she moves fast, it's estimated that netizens won't be able to see this movie until the end of the year.
As for comedy movies, you can't just cut in line without any warning, right?
Of course, if she were a bit more diligent, it wouldn't be impossible.
But as everyone knows, she, Luo, is a famous salted fish, so just think about this kind of thing.
Meals must be eaten one bite at a time, and things must be done one by one.
She hasn't managed things for nearly a month, and there are probably many things in the company and at home waiting for her to deal with, so let's put the movie aside for now.
Just as Luo Quan finished pondering, Wen Xia called.
"Hey, did you miss me?" Luo Quan said with a grin.
"Miss your dead head." Wen Xia sounded very angry, "How come you didn't respond to any calls or messages for this month? Those who didn't know would think you were kidnapped and sold."
"The signal in the mountains is not good." Luo Quan explained helplessly, "And do you need to worry about these things with my skills?"
"You're amazing, your martial arts are high, okay?" Wen Xia complained angrily.
Before she couldn't contact Luo Quan, she was indeed very worried.
Now that she heard her voice, she finally felt relieved.
"By the way, I have good news here, do you want to hear it?" Wen Xia suddenly said to Luo Quan as if she remembered something.
Luo Quan chuckled: "Only good news? I thought it was one good and one bad."
"Gao Liang is going to be a dad."
Wen Xia's light sentence was like a thunderclap on a clear day, striking Luo Quan until she was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
"What!" Luo Quan's eyes widened, and a smile appeared on her face involuntarily.
Wen Xia replied: "It was discovered during a check-up last week; Mia had been nauseous and retching, and they thought it was a stomach problem. Only after going to the hospital did they know she had been pregnant for two months."
