Chapter 916: Crazy Racer

The Art Olympics would be held next year, and the start date of the preliminary competition was also at the end of this year; the time was still relatively long, enough for all contestants to prepare.

In addition, as far as Luo Quan knew, many long-established artists would participate in the competition this time.

Compared to those young people who had talent but no opportunity, these old cannons were the true favorites to win.

Because they had already been recognized and made a name for themselves internationally, the maturity of their works was incomparable to those of other young people.

Those like Luo Quan who showed their talent in their teens were ultimately just a minority.

And when netizens asked about the tracks she was preparing to send to participate in the preliminary competition, *Waltz No. 2*, this divine song, began to officially become popular on the internet.

This classical music with a beautiful melody and quite a momentum could be used in the background music of most short videos, making people feel comfortable as soon as they heard it.

The only pity was that most short video producers used it to match some relatively luxurious scenes, which was also related to the occasion when it first appeared in this world.

Seeing this, Luo Quan also posted an update:

"Actually, the original intention of this song was to praise the working people, but the first place it was used was at a court banquet dance; however, everyone should not misinterpret its original intention."

Background music could be used casually, but the meaning behind it needed to be stated clearly.

Just after doing these things, Luo Quan, who had originally planned to rest, was rendered sleepless again by the sound of the system in her head.

"A random task has appeared; do you want to accept it?"

"There's even this kind of thing as a random task now?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

After the system upgrade, there were many extra functions, and she hadn't fully figured them out yet, just like this suddenly appearing random task.

"Random tasks can accelerate the host's growth; it's a new permission obtained after the system's function completion, belonging to a kind of welfare."

Luo Quan retorted: "Then since it's welfare, why don't you just send me the reward directly?"

"Because pies won't fall from the sky."

"…………" Luo Quan didn't know how to refute this at the moment. "Forget it, let's see what the random task is?"

"Random task: Shoot a comedy movie and harvest a box office of at least two billion or more.

Reward: Five million popularity points, one high-level random draw.

Notes: The task needs to be completed within four months; overdue will lead to task failure."

"Five million?!" Luo Quan was so surprised she almost screamed; such a huge sum of income was almost catching up to her accumulation of more than a year.

"After the system upgrade, the amount of rewards has also been increased, so don't be too surprised; after all, your current expenses are also much larger than before."

"That's what you say." Luo Quan's face was already full of smiles. "But this can be considered a huge sum of money that fell from the sky."

Although she hadn't shot a comedy movie before, she knew quite a few excellent domestic comedy movies.

The moment she saw the task requirements, she had already decided which one to shoot, which was *Crazy Racer*.

As the second part of the *Crazy* series, *Crazy Racer* could be called the peak work of domestic comedy movies, with multi-line narration, wonderful plot, humorous lines, and golden sentences coming out one after another.

From this movie, countless famous scenes and hot memes were born.

Luo Quan had watched it no less than ten times, and every time she watched it, she would laugh from ear to ear.

The only pity was that because of the era when this movie was released, the box office wasn't particularly explosive.

Although it was a model of low cost and high return, it was also relative to movies of the same era.

And a few years later, the box office record of Huaxia movies broke through five billion, which was something no one could have imagined.

And if this movie were released here, Luo Quan felt that a box office of two billion wasn't enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

In her view, this was absolutely an excellent work sufficient to refresh the domestic comedy movie box office record.

Coincidentally, hadn't the fans been discussing whether she had any plans to act in a comedy movie before?

She hadn't had time to respond positively, but now that she had a task, she certainly had to make the fans happy.

So at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Luo Quan updated her update again:

"Before, fans had been talking about comedy movies, and everyone seemed to really want to see this kind of movie I had never acted in before.

I feel that challenging a brand-new role is a new improvement for acting skills; after a few days of conception, I thought of a very good script.

This is an absurd and funny story about a bunch of people; I will tell everyone the name of the story and the protagonist in the coming time, so fans and netizens, please look forward to it!"

A heavy bomb in the middle of the night was something netizens hadn't expected.

Many Luo Quan fans had already gone to sleep at this time, so the popularity of the update was less than during the day.

But it still hit the number one trending search, and the comment area was full of discussions:

"Did Luo Quan open up her Ren and Du meridians after returning from vacation? She feels much more diligent than before!"

"Indeed, if this were in the past, she would have to rest for a month or two after appearing on a variety show; now it's new songs and new movies—she really doesn't plan to rest."

"And they are all what fans want to see most; Luo Bao is really too gentle, I'm crying to death."

"Fan circle fans, tone it down; her gentleness can only be mine alone. Dog head. jpg"

"Dog head protection doesn't work either, fork it out!"

"Really curious about what kind of plot could make Luo Quan describe it like this."

"It must be full of laughs; this time I'm going to look forward to it fiercely."

………………

This period of time was probably when Luo Quan had the most positive reviews among fans.

In the past, her slacking behavior would be complained about by everyone, feeling that she was completely wasting her talent, clearly capable of being fast and high-yielding, but always liking to be lazy.

And now, almost every day there were new plans released, and she took care of every group of fans, which was truly sigh-inducing; it turned out that Luo Quan could be so terrifying when she was diligent.

However, they didn't know that the truly terrifying part was still to come.

………………

"Luo Bao, when are you going to shoot this new movie?"

Early the next morning, Wen Xia, who had read Luo Quan's update, asked while eating breakfast.

After *Under One Person* was broadcast on Tencent Video, the popularity and reputation were both explosive.

This urban fantasy TV series not only had novel settings and explosive special effects, but the key was that the appearance of the characters was top-tier.

The appearance of several supporting roles in it was even more beautiful than the male and female leads of many costume idol dramas.

Especially Xia He played by Luo Quan and Bao'er-jie played by Wen Xia directly became popular characters who killed both male and female audiences.

The only flaw was that the former's screen time was really too little, and the audience shouted that it wasn't enough.

Besides these, the plot of the TV series was also quite tense and exciting.

It started with high energy; the martial arts fanatic Feng Yuxiu challenged and killed martial arts masters everywhere, leading to the entire world of aliens, and then the male lead appeared, showing a very wonderful fight scene in the middle of the road.

I don't know when it started, but action movies no longer had any market in Huaxia.

Maybe those older generation action stars inevitably moved toward aging, their bodies could no longer support the use like when they were young, and they couldn't make those clean and neat martial arts movements.

Now, action scenes were basically finished after posing a few times or hanging on wires for a few backflips; the more conscientious ones might add some special effects.

The technology had gone up, but the effect presented wasn't real at all.

And the actors acting in action scenes didn't have the foundation of action scenes at all, and the movements made weren't good-looking either.

And for action movies, the most important thing was that the action must have ornamental value.

If the actors were as soft as nasal mucus, could the filmed drama be good?

This was the biggest reason for the decline of action movies, especially Huaxia kung fu movies.

But under this general trend, *Under One Person* became that freak driving in the opposite direction.

Every supporting role in it looked like a martial arts master, and the martial arts movements were even more standard than Wuying-level athletes, with great ornamental value.

And there were various types of kung fu, which truly feasted the audience's eyes.

Before the TV series started, the promotion told everyone that *Under One Person* invited many masters from martial arts sects to participate.

Originally, everyone thought they were just inviting sect disciples to be extras, and they wouldn't be that powerful.

Who knew that the ones invited were all predecessors sufficient to be called masters and ancestors, and a few had even appeared on Douyin and Constable, being martial arts masters recognized by the public.

They all participated in the shooting and presented wonderful performances.

Of course, the most wonderful was the final battle between the protagonist and Feng Yuxiu on the road.

Among the cars speeding by, the two fought with their lives, risking death how many times.

And in the end, the protagonist defeated Feng Yuxiu but didn't kill him.

Because it was a society ruled by law, it was impossible to be as happy and vengeful as in ancient times.

And Feng Yuxiu, who was no longer bound by the law, was preparing to counter-kill, but was shot in the head by the female police officer responsible for investigating the case from more than ten meters away.

This scene also announced the change of the era.

Kung fu is indeed a killing skill, but in terms of this skill, kung fu is outdated; the pistol is the true king.

It was precisely this shot that directly sealed *Under One Person* as a god, hailed as the last peak of Huaxia film and television action.

After this ups and downs beginning ended, the TV series entered the plot of the original manga.

Introducing the protagonist's college life, and a series of troubles caused after being targeted by Quansheng, and then participating in the Luotian Luotian Da Jiao.

Currently, there are two episodes left in the first season of the TV series, and in the last episode, the protagonist will duel with Zhang Lingyu.

This is the most burning episode of the first season, and also the one with the most explosive budget.

Most of the special effects shots were basically used here.

Currently, the viewership of *Under One Person* has exceeded three billion; for a TV series with only sixteen episodes, it is really very terrifying.

The discussion popularity on the whole internet has remained high, and when drama fans learned that Luo Quan hadn't done any shooting for the second season at all, their mentality was simply explosive.

This meant that even if she started filming immediately, the second season wouldn't be able to meet everyone until next spring; the time to wait was simply too long.

Now that they knew she was going to open so many pits again, the drama fans were even more tearful, shouting that this TV series was going to become a series for the rest of their lives.

And Wen Xia, as one of the leads, absorbed a big wave of fans thanks to the role of Bao'er-jie, and was already the top traffic besides Luo Quan.

However, she wasn't particularly anxious about when to shoot the next season.

She was actually more curious about when Luo Quan's new movie would be shot.

Because *Harry Potter* and *Under One Person* were set in the same world, so after filming *Under One Person*, she couldn't go to act as a wizard, and could only wait for the opportunity to appear when the two IPs linked up in the future.

However, Luo Quan didn't seem to plan to shoot *Harry Potter* first, but another comedy movie.

This made Wen Xia very interested.

Although she didn't know if this was the movie she was using to win awards, a brand-new type looked very challenging no matter how you looked at it.

Hadn't she been bitterly honing her acting skills for these years just to be able to carry a movie alone one day?

Now she needed to experiment to see if her acting skills could achieve such an effect.

Hearing Wen Xia's inquiry, Luo Quan immediately understood her meaning and replied: "It's just a pure commercial comedy; if you want to act, I do have a supporting role here, but you might need to make yourself ugly."

"I thought it was what." Wen Xia laughed. "Whatever the character setting is, I must act it out; this is an actor's basic quality, okay?"

Luo Quan asked with a smile: "Then nude scenes and passionate scenes are also acceptable?"

"Oh, stop it." Wen Xia blushed rarely; it seemed she couldn't accept these relatively open scenes either.

She had the awareness for kissing scenes, but for others, let's forget it for now.

"Just kidding." Luo Quan smiled. "This supporting role is a big fat person weighing over three hundred jin; if you want to act, you need to gain weight."

"Gain weight to three hundred jin?" Wen Xia's face twitched. ===== CHAPTER 917 =====
