Chapter 967: Each Generation Has Its Talents

~14 min read 2,663 words

In China, if a film is purely for the story and ignores whether the values it conveys are correct, it mostly won't pass censorship.

Fortunately, the values of *Tiny Times* only had to do with money; money worship isn't a very big crime, and it's better than murder, arson, and being at large.

And just after Miss Luo Quan analyzed why *Tiny Times* succeeded, Director Ming also stood up to respond to the controversy surrounding the film online.

He admitted that there were many places in the plot that weren't handled well, but he had done his best, accepted everyone's criticism, and promised that the sequels would be more serious, striving to present a good story to everyone.

Because his attitude was quite sincere and he didn't argue, but decisively admitted his mistakes, this attitude alone surpassed countless stars who encountered similar situations.

So this wave of operations by Director Ming gained him quite a lot of favor.

As for the sequels he mentioned, it's estimated that it will have to wait until next year.

With *Tiny Times 1*'s box office being so high, filming sequels is already a done deal.

As for whether he can still invite Gao Liang, Director Ming doesn't know, but he will give Gao Liang a price he cannot refuse.

Unlike his sister, Gao Liang needs to boost performance for Universal, so if a tycoon is willing to spend a lot of money to hire him, even if he knows it's a rotten film, he has to take it.

Making money, it's not shameful.

As for Miss Luo Quan, she belongs to being her own boss; no one can force her, and what kind of role she wants to play depends entirely on her interests and hobbies.

Currently, she hasn't decided what kind of role she wants to play. As for the previously decided *Return to Dust*, she plans to hand that film to Wen Xia to act in, and like *Forrest Gump*, she will still be the director herself.

In order to figure out this role well, Wen Xia has stopped all variety show and TV series announcements, staying at home all day searching for related videos to observe.

After returning to Yuzhou early next year, she will have to observe how the local farmers work and what their state is in daily life. Only after seeing the real situation can she know how to act.

No one can act out something they don't know at all. Many film and television dramas are now criticized for having outrageous plots because the characters' states are completely detached from reality and they don't understand the hardships of the world.

Although Wen Xia and Miss Luo Quan both come from single-parent families and their family backgrounds aren't well-off, compared to the male and female leads in the film's setting, they are still much better off.

So if she wants to act out the effect of "a poor couple having a hundred sorrows," she still needs long-term observation and study.

Fortunately, Miss Luo Quan isn't in a hurry, leaving her plenty of time.

It's mainly because the filming method of *Return to Dust* is quite special; except for the heroine, other roles are played by local farmers.

Including the male lead, he is also a complete amateur who is in contact with film for the first time, but his acting is surprisingly good.

Perhaps only a real farmer can act well as a farmer.

Because most of the roles and content are taken from the local area, the preparation work for *Return to Dust* won't be particularly complicated.

Of course, no matter what, these are all things after the Spring Festival.

For young fans living in the present, they never delay happiness for too long.

Miss Luo Quan previously promised to do a cosplay for everyone, but she delayed it for a while on the grounds of not having the costume.

Although not much time has passed since the day she promised, the fans are already impatient to have Miss Luo Quan fulfill her promise.

However, they also understand Miss Luo Quan's temper; nothing can be rushed, and they must try to ask in a gentle tone so as not to arouse Miss Luo Quan's rebellious psychology.

So even though they are anxious in their hearts, the fans still pretend not to care too much and ask questions like: "Has the cosplay costume arrived?" "What are you cosplaying?" and so on.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. The costume arrived last night."

Miss Luo Quan scratched her head embarrassedly: "Since that's the case, there's no time like the present. I'll cosplay for everyone now. Let me turn off the camera first."

After speaking, the live broadcast room was gone.

Saying she turned off the camera, in fact, she turned off the machine directly.

Many streamers also thought they had turned off the camera or microphone, and then under the eyes of everyone, they turned themselves into a "Streamer XX Gate."

Miss Luo Quan wouldn't make such a mistake; she directly pulled the rug out from under them, which was turning off the machine and unplugging the network cable.

She couldn't guarantee whether the camera was turned off, but she could guarantee that her computer was completely disconnected from the outside world.

Ever since her series of Apple phones were hacked and data stolen, Miss Luo Quan has had an extra eye in this regard. Any electronic device storing important files is usually not connected to the internet.

Of course, these were her early processing methods. Since having the firewall designed for her by Yuni Jina, she doesn't need to worry about these anymore.

As for now, it's entirely to avoid unexpected situations; after all, better safe than sorry.

Taking off clothes is always easier than putting them on. Miss Luo Quan turned on the heater of the air conditioner and studied in front of the mirror for a long time.

Cosplay clothes are much more complicated than normal clothes. After putting them on, you need to carefully check and compare, otherwise you don't know if some exposed parts are for sexiness or just because you put them on wrong. In short, you can't make a joke.

The good news is that this time she is cosplaying Rangiku Matsumoto. The clothing style is relatively simple, somewhat like a Japanese samurai outfit, just with a more open collar.

Of course, what Miss Luo Quan bought is a special edition that complies with China's National Day.

The collar is open, but not entirely open.

If it were the figure of the manga character, the effect of wearing it would definitely cause the live broadcast room to die within ten minutes; it wouldn't pass censorship at all.

And when she put it on, it was just right, telling people what it means to have "the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building, the black clouds pressing down on the city and the city wanting to be destroyed!"

After looking in the mirror and confirming there was nothing wrong, Miss Luo Quan restarted the computer and returned to the live broadcast room.

Miss Luo Quan remembered that when the live broadcast was turned off, the popularity was only over 10 million, and now it has soared to over 20 million, presumably all coming after hearing the news.

And after seeing the character Miss Luo Quan cosplayed, the fans exclaimed one after another:

"Holy crab!"

"Why is it so big today?"

"I really underestimated you before."

"It still has to be Miss Luo Quan to cosplay such a character. Changing to other stars doesn't have this flavor."

"No way, female stars in the domestic entertainment industry are all airports, how can they compare to Mount Everest?"

………………

Excellent cosplay often only requires the simplest clothing. Although there is no fancy design, because it is very restored to the character, Miss Luo Quan still received everyone's praise.

And she just sat in front of the camera like this and started tonight's live broadcast.

………………

"So the theme recently is poetry and songs?"

Miss Luo Quan originally intended to chat with fans about daily life or strange things at home and abroad as usual.

But they kept asking her to write poems and lyrics, which made her very puzzled.

You know, music and literature are in two completely different fields, and it's hard to draw inferences from one instance, but the fans all insist that she must have the ability to recite poems and compose, otherwise why would the lyrics be written so well.

And the reason everyone is so high-spirited is mainly because the No. 1 station recently released a new hot variety show called *Chinese Poetry Conference*.

At first, this variety show was to let a large group of young people go to the show to conduct poetry Q&A. The show gives the first half of the sentence, and they follow the second half, mainly testing reading volume and memory.

At the same time, literary experts among the guests will also explain some poems. This kind of variety show that combines education with entertainment has been well received by young people.

And in order to come up with new ideas, *Chinese Poetry Conference* also launched a netizen masterpiece sharing session in the recent episodes, which is to recite the works submitted by netizens at the end of the show and share them with everyone.

This session was released and immediately ignited the creative enthusiasm of netizens.

For those who like literature, when reading to the point of excitement, it is inevitable to create some works, but the works created can only be appreciated by oneself, which is really a pity.

And *Chinese Poetry Conference* gave these people a chance to show themselves to the public, especially when seeing their works appear on the show and being praised by guests and audiences, that feeling is indescribably satisfying.

Many of Miss Luo Quan's fans are loyal viewers of this variety show, and they all hope that their works can be a blockbuster on the show and enjoy everyone's praise.

But the reality is that most of them don't have such literary talent, so they pinned their hopes on Miss Luo Quan.

Let Miss Luo Quan write a poem to go on the show to pretend to be cool. They, as fans, are also honored. Rounding it up is equivalent to their own writing.

So the fans urged her, wanting to see if Miss Luo Quan really has talent in this regard.

After all, she had never said before that she could paint, but she still dared to participate in the competition, which shows that she still has many unknown skills. Reciting poems and composing might be one of them?

This is the wishful thinking of the fans.

And Miss Luo Quan, facing the fans' entreaties, said helplessly: "Where did you get this heart of comparison? You can't pretend to be cool yourself and you want me to help. It sounds too outrageous!"

It seems to be a refusal, but she quickly said: "But since you have sincerely made a request to me, then I will reluctantly show everyone my talent that has been dusty for many years. Bankai!"

Miss Luo Quan said, suddenly shouting the most frequently appearing line in the *Bleach* anime again, which is very secondary.

It can be understood as the "Jutsu of..." in *Naruto*, or the "Gum-Gum..." in *One Piece*; in short, it's the wind-up before unleashing a skill—if you don't shout it out, the power is halved.

And Miss Luo Quan, who was too deep into the play, was immediately ridiculed by the fans:

"Playing awkward, right?"

"Second-dimensional people are like this, I am also a second-dimensional person."

"What kind of self-exploding truck?"

"Luo Bao looks very smart, but sometimes she is also quite silly, but silly and cute."

"I want to see what you can solve with Bankai."

"Solution: From the meaning of the question, we can get..."

"Haha, you know how to do math test papers."

"You can give a hard work score at your discretion."

………………

In the conversation where the fans had already gone off-topic, Miss Luo Quan had already gone to the study and put the four treasures of the study on the table.

Although she had almost never used these, they were prepared at home.

After all, there are too many rooms, and there is plenty of space to store these messy things.

"Come on, I'll let everyone see my calligraphy by the way." Miss Luo Quan said and started grinding ink.

After grinding for a while, she smiled at the camera again: "If this video is uploaded to the internet today, this dress will probably be called a calligraphy beauty."

"My suggestion is, the more beauties like you, the better."

"Dressing has nothing to do with skill. Like Bilibili, there are also many uploaders who play the piano in tight clothes, which does not affect us calling her a female Bodhisattva."

"Hahaha, the female Bodhisattva is here, then Luo Bao's level must be a female Buddha."

"Wrong, Luo Bao is cultivating the Dao, so she should be called a fairy."

"Luo Bao cultivating the Dao?"

"Luo Bao said before that she had learned some related knowledge, not a formal entry."

"Okay, another identity as a Dao beauty."

"Why? Can the monk touch it, but I can't?"

………………

Facing the fans' jumpy remarks, Miss Luo Quan didn't know how to complain. Sure enough, when there are many people, sand sculptures will appear in large numbers. These are really too funny.

After the ink was ground, Miss Luo Quan spread out the rice paper, pressed it with a small seal, and then picked up the brush and dipped it in ink.

After taking a deep breath, she waved her brush and fell, with strength penetrating the back of the paper. Three regular scripts that were square enough to be compared with computer typing appeared on the right side of the paper.

"Ding Feng Bo!"

The fans repeated these three words with barrage, and at the same time raised doubts:

"What a strange name, why is it called Ding Feng Bo?"

"I only know General Fu Bo."

"No culture, Ding Feng Bo is the name of the Ci tune."

"Don't understand, ask, what is the name of the Ci tune?"

"Just like poetry has five-character poetry and seven-character poetry, Ci also has its own format, and different formats are distinguished by different Ci tune names."

"Curious about what Luo Bao can write."

………………

At first, the fans were still discussing enthusiastically, but soon, the barrage gradually became sparse.

And as Miss Luo Quan's beautiful characters jumped on the paper one by one, the full picture of this Ci was finally presented to everyone.

"Don't listen to the sound of the forest and leaves, why not chant and walk slowly! Bamboo sticks and straw shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A straw rain coat for a lifetime.

The cold spring breeze blows the wine awake, slightly cold, the mountain top slanting light welcomes. Looking back at the desolate place, go back. Neither wind nor rain nor clear."

After writing, Miss Luo Quan checked for typos.

After finding no problems, she picked up the small seal of the paperweight, took a breath, and printed it directly.

Soon, her name appeared in the lower left corner of the rice paper.

And at this time, Xiaoyu also jumped up, looking at Miss Luo Quan with burning eyes, as if saying, shouldn't this be my job?

It was clearly me who came first, and I am so suitable for stamping.

Miss Luo Quan felt Xiaoyu's resentment, smiled and touched its head, and put the inkpad in front of it: "Know you like stamping, come on, you should do one."

"That's about it!" Xiaoyu meowed contentedly, stretched out its paw and pressed it on. ===== CHAPTER 968 =====
