Chapter 1019 New Year’s Eve (3)
"Why are you talking to me?" Leon looked confused, "Do I look like the kind of person who bullies others?"
"No." Luo Quan shook his head, "Isn't this a warning to you?"
"The education I received from my childhood prevented me from doing something like this."
Leon straightened his clothes and raised his chin slightly: "If there is any dispute, I will usually teach it to my private lawyer to handle it, and he will help me solve everything."
"That's true." Luo Quan doesn't know much about the judicial environment in the United States, but he hears this sentence often.
Of course, what happens more frequently is: you can remain silent, but every word you say next will become evidence in court.
In Hong Kong dramas from the beginning of the century, the police would usually say something like this after arresting someone, so she was particularly impressed.
However, in the Mainland, the police will definitely not say such a long list of words when arresting people. They are usually more concise and concise, such as: squat down, hold your head, put your hands behind your back, and sometimes shout: Put on your clothes!
Of course, what Si Cong encountered this time should be the same situation as before.
Si Cong was beaten in the street and suffered a broken nose. Currently, Sicong has been detained. It is not known how long he will be detained, but netizens can't help but start commenting.
At first, everyone was still criticizing Sicong, but gradually the style of the comment area changed:
"Xiao Si can still do it. He has bodyguards and still has to do it himself. He is manly enough."
"The one who got beaten is so happy. Don't even think about it if the settlement fee is less than one million!"
"When I meet a cash cow like Si Cong, I also want to be beaten."
"Just breaking the bridge of your nose can lead to wealth and freedom. It's such good luck."
………………
As the old saying goes, having money is not everything, but not having money is everything.
Luo Quan knows that money is paramount in today's society, and the general public is obsessed with making money, but it is indeed a bit sad that the values have reached such a point.
Let’s not talk about who is right and who is wrong about the beating. After all, the official report does not have many details. I don’t know whether it was the provocation from passers-by or the arrogance of Sicong. If it was the former, Luo Quan felt that the beating was right.
But if it's the latter, how did these people come to the conclusion that "Sicong is still a singing man"?
If you have a bodyguard, you don’t have to hit someone with your own hands to be a man, right?
That's true. If you let the bodyguard beat someone, it's the bodyguard who will be detained. At most, he just spent some money.
But on the other hand, the nature of this behavior of instigating bodyguards is not necessarily a simple fight.
But even so, there are still people on the Internet applauding him, and even wishing that they were the ones being beaten.
This kind of thinking is quite twisted, and it is completely licking the rich without any bottom line. It is the same as those who licked the young master of Wanliu Academy before.
Luo Quan can't understand the psychology of such a person at all, because no matter how much you lick, you won't get any benefit, but other people will see your ugly face.
But even so, there are still many people who are willing to be the loyal dogs of the rich, even at the expense of their own dignity.
Luo Quan flipped through the comments and saw a word between the lines: money worship.
What is a pity is that worshiping money is not illegal and should not be criticized morally.
Although these people promote bad values, there is no law against doing so.
She had already made a sarcastic comment before, and now posting another one made it seem like she was hating the rich.
It will be so funny then. The richest woman in China and even Asia actually hates rich people. No one would believe her if she told her.
The feeling of ritual collapse and joy lingered in Luo Quan's mind for a long time, but in the end he never sent it out.
"For those who are celebrating the New Year, it's better not to cause trouble to the big guys." Luo Quan comforted himself.
"By the way, sister, have you received an invitation from the master of Baifa UP at station B?" Leon said suddenly.
"No." Luo Quan shook his head, "When I became popular, Station B had just become popular, so I didn't want to do this.
Station B is a big platform now, but it’s no longer the turn for an old up like me to participate.
What, you were invited to attend the 100th Grand Ceremony? "
"Yeah, I'm so talented. I'm one of the top 100 ups in 2020!" Leon smiled and tugged on his collar again.
This smug look made Luo Quan curl his lips: "You have learned to speak politely, but I don't remember that you have ever operated a serious operation at station B?"
"That's because you didn't pay attention." Leon Jiang showed his sister his mobile phone. His account on Station B already has more than one million followers.
Although there are a lot of big Vs with the number of fans on Weibo, in terms of authenticity, Station B is much higher. The ratio of real people among these one million people is quite high.
"Okay, I have accumulated so many fans in less than a year." Luo Quan said in surprise.
If she remembers correctly, apart from her, only a handful of celebrities who have joined Station B have more than one million fans. Many celebrities have not even made a splash after joining Station B.
As a foreigner, Lyon can still thrive at Station B, which is indeed rare.
"When I come to Kangkang, what do you usually write about?" Luo Quan clicked on Lyon's contribution history and found that he was actually an up owner who did miscellaneous talks.
Just like when he was broadcasting live, Lyon's video content was also about talking.
The secrets of European royal families, the history of American plutocrats, and the appearance behind the glamor of Hollywood are all eye-catching but not nutritious content.
"That's right, I thought you would make videos like eating and broadcasting that don't require technical skills and are easy to get popular." Luo Quan put down his phone and gave his brother a like.
In fact, mukbang is not bad, but what makes Luo Quan speechless the most is the Don’t Laugh Challenge and the idle meal, which are boring and brainless, but they still have such high traffic.
How does this make those up owners who are serious about creating content feel embarrassed?
If she takes over Station B, the first thing she will do is to limit the traffic of all the bad up owners in the living area, and then direct all the traffic to those ups who are skilled, knowledgeable, and capable.
"Actually, my videos are not all these." Leon chuckled, "When I first started, I really planned to do a mukbang, just to show Chinese fans what Americans usually eat.
However, I made a few videos, and most people focused on the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB. Just making US dollars and spending US dollars would cause a lot of quarrels, so I decisively gave up this genre. "
"It is true that many Chinese people like to argue about this." Luo Quan nodded in agreement.
When she usually looks at foreign food, as soon as the price is listed, someone will definitely say that it is very cheap, but the same money in China will definitely not be able to eat it.
Of course you can't eat it. The animal husbandry industry in the United States is so developed that pork and beef must be cheap.
What's more, the number of people in China is several times that of the United States. It is indeed impossible for China's per capita meat consumption to reach the level of the United States.
"So, you just switched to chatting?" Luo Quan continued to look at Leon's videos, but the more he looked at his expression, the more something seemed wrong.
For example, in July, everyone traveled to Tokyo together. Leon posted a video of reaching the tallest tower in Asia.
The titles of the subsequent videos became more and more outrageous, such as the comparison of the taste of e-cigarettes and Chinese, I was born by a mother, American bald eagle with cheese, I am here to rap with you, and a complete collection of thimble emoticons at a glance...
In addition to Thimble, classmates Gua Ling and He were also the targets of his teasing.
His video is like a hodgepodge of Internet memes. At best, it’s like keeping up with current events, but at worst, it’s like committing a crime against the odds.
After all, he can be regarded as half of the Chinese entertainment industry, but there is really no other star as abstract as him.
"You're too abstract." Luo Quan scratched his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She also likes to play this meme during live broadcasts, but she doesn't make videos specifically to do the meme, let alone Lyon's level of direct integration.
Faced with his sister's complaints, Leon responded with his usual expression: "Netizens like to make memes, so why not do it? Moreover, I am entitled to one-sided most-favored-nation status for making memes and will not be sanctioned."
"Everyone is here." Luo Quan thought of the history of junior high school, "Do you know what this is? No matter how good or bad you are, you dare to take it."
"I know, Mia explained it to me." Leon laughed, "After explaining it, I was shocked. I thought I would dare to finish this kind of joke. At the beginning, I told everyone not to do it like this, as it would easily lead to accidents.
But they said there was no need to worry, because the people in New York are the people who work for me, and they didn’t dare to embarrass me during the review at Station B.
I know I'm joking, but as you can see, these videos of mine have not been blocked, and the views are quite high, which has gathered a large number of fans for me. "
"Abstract fans are not easy to take care of. Don't worry, they will bite you." Luo Quan kindly reminded his younger brother. As far as he knew, none of the Internet celebrities in China who became popular by attracting abstract viewers could escape unscathed.
Of course, Lyon may be a little bit special. After all, no one before him could have imagined that a foreigner could master domestic tricks so smoothly.
Fortunately, Lyon is not just playing abstract jokes mindlessly. His business ability is actually the real key to retaining fans. His rap skills are far ahead of his peers, allowing him to earn close to one million yuan just by posting a singing video. play volume.
This is also the reason why he can become the top 100 up master. If he wants to enter the top 100 just by relying on abstract culture, it is impossible to think about it.
"correct."
Leon looked at his elder sister and asked, "I've finished recording the video for this New Year's Eve party at Station B. I just heard yesterday that you were going too. Do you need me to record another one with you?"
"No need." Luo Quan shook his head gently, "Originally, I just inserted it in and then re-recorded it with you. Editing is a big problem, and the stage effect is not as good as live after all.
But don’t we have a program for the Spring Festival Gala? Just rehearse carefully. "
"What are you talking about?" Leon laughed, "I didn't expect you to perform such old-fashioned music on such an important stage."
Luo Quan immediately retorted: "How can it be called old-fashioned? This is called full of a sense of the times, right?
Besides, this style of music has stood the test of time, and people just like this kind of music.
The Spring Festival Gala is a program watched by more than one billion people. It will definitely not work if it is too elegant or too vulgar. If it is not so easy to enjoy both elegance and vulgarity, then it can only be slightly shifted in the direction of vulgarity. "
"It makes a little sense, but..." Leon still felt that the style of the song was a bit too vulgar, in other words, it was vulgar.
But I have to admit that while it is earthy, it is also extremely magical. There will be many people who hate it and people who like it.
"Okay, don't think about so many things, just prepare for the show with peace of mind." Luo Quan patted his brother on the shoulder, "If you perform well this time, maybe you will become famous all over China and become a domestic celebrity. The tallest foreign star!”
"Are you serious?" Leon doesn't really believe it. I have only had one million fans after working on Station B for so long, and I became famous all over the country just by singing a song in the last Spring Festival Gala. Why don't I believe it? "
"Hehe, believe it or not, you will know when the time comes." Luo Quan didn't argue with his brother too much, just wait and see.
Soon, the news about Si Cong was updated online. It was said that the two parties reached a settlement and Si Cong spent 2 million to avoid being detained.
However, the reports are not authoritative media, so the credibility is questionable.
But what is certain is that Si Cong will definitely want to reconcile.
After all, during the Chinese New Year, relatives and friends come to Lao Si's house as guests and ask where your son is. How will you answer then? Could it be that he is celebrating the New Year in the police station? That's too embarrassing.
Therefore, even if Si Cong wanted to take a gamble, Lao Si might not agree, and he would probably lose money and avoid disaster.
As for whether it can reach the sky-high price of two million, the possibility is quite low.
The richest man’s money did not come from strong winds. This amount far exceeded the record of compensation for minor injuries. If he really spent so much money to settle, wouldn’t it send a signal to the outside world that he would get rich just by messing with him?
Therefore, the amount of compensation will definitely not reach 2 million, and a more reasonable range is around 100,000 to 150,000.
Considering that Si Cong is a public figure and has star power, the fee can be increased as appropriate.
Luo Quan did not pay attention to the subsequent processing results, but began to edit the company's plan for the new year.
While Luo Quan was writing furiously, Xu Yanqing had already arrived at Bai Xingwei's home.
"What's your business?"
Bai Xingwei and Xu Yanqing had no friendship. The only one who could make this big star come to her home was Luo Quan, so she said: "If you are here to see Luo Quan, then I can only tell you that she has returned to her hometown. It will take a while to come back.”
"Then is there any way to contact her? I have something to say to her." Xu Yanqing looked very anxious, as if it was something important.
"Yes, there is..." Bai Xingwei hesitated, not sure whether Xu Yanqing was trustworthy.
Although Luo Quan had a pleasant conversation with Xu Yanqing and Chu Yueyan before, she didn't know what the relationship was, so she said:
"Okay, you wait here for a moment, and I'll ask Luo Quan first to see if she's free."
"Okay, no problem!" Xu Yanqing immediately nodded in agreement.
