"Who is this?"

Near noon, Wen Xia, who got up and went to the living room to find breakfast, saw Ye Zhining and asked curiously.

"This is my manager, her name is Ye Zhining." Luo Quan replied with a smile, "This is Wen Xia, my good sister since childhood, and also an artist in the company."

"Hello." Ye Zhining looked at Wen Xia and showed a cold but friendly smile.

Wen Xia said in surprise: "Where did Luoluo find such a beautiful sister to be her manager? With such good looks, it's more than enough for her debut!"

"We met while having dinner. We hit it off immediately and had a great conversation, so I hired her to be my agent."

Luo Quan's explanation is mixed between truth and falsehood. She and Ye Zhining did meet while eating, but they just hit it off and talked happily. It depends on how you understand it.

Ye Zhining must be very happy, she has a beloved concubine at her fingertips, and she can't wait to get married that night.

But Luo Quan only knew that he was almost stabbed at that time, and it was really dangerous.

Of course, the details are not enough to be humane, they can only be her and Ye Zhining's secrets.

When Wen Xia heard Luo Quan's answer, she was a little curious about when Luo Quan went out to eat, but she didn't ask any more questions.

After all, Luo Quan is currently busy with work, and she is handling all the company's large and small matters, so she really doesn't have enough time to do all the work.

In the past, when the company was small, she could still manage her life and work in an orderly manner without an agent or assistant. But now she really needs a few more people to help her share her worries.

"By the way, Luo Bao, didn't I say before that you had a sketch for the Spring Festival Gala? Why haven't I seen you rehearsing?"

After welcoming the newcomers, Wen Xia asked about it.

Previously, during the Spring Festival Gala, Luo Quan was invited to perform a sketch about giving birth. The general plot was that a foreign daughter-in-law and her husband came to China to celebrate the New Year. The mother-in-law was anxious to have a grandson, so she urged her daughter-in-law to prepare for the birth of a baby.

The foreign wife didn't want their world to be destroyed so early, so she never agreed.

The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started a ridiculous debate on customs, ideas, and culture at home and abroad.

Then the quarrel between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law evolved into a quarrel between husband and wife. Seeing that the conflict was about to intensify further, the mother-in-law offered to give in and was no longer in a hurry to have a grandson.

The foreign daughter-in-law also understood her mother-in-law's mood and began to learn how to be a good mother.

Finally, the family was happily and reunited in the kitchen, making dumplings and smashing them!

There is no twist in the plot, it is plain and simple, and the foreign wife is the only novelty.

If it were placed around 2008, this sketch would probably still be interesting to the public.

After all, it was a time when China was rapidly expanding its international influence, and the whole country was immersed in a stage of longing for international recognition.

Any praise or thumbs up from foreigners can make people smile proudly and feel proud.

If foreigners can speak fluent Mandarin, they will be very popular, and they can rise to the level of international friends. They may even perform frequently on the Spring Festival Gala, and they are deeply loved by the audience.

But now, the increasingly tense international relations have meant that there have been no foreigners on the Spring Festival Gala stage for a long time. Even with a foreign face like Luo Quan, she has been the only one for several years.

So the new idea of ​​foreign wives seems interesting at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, the public may not necessarily buy it.

After much deliberation, the director team decided to replace Luo Quan's sketch with a marriage-inducing sketch. After all, getting married and having children has to come first.

The number of newborns has continued to decrease in recent years. The direct reason is that people are unwilling to have children, and the fundamental reason is that people don’t even want to get married, let alone have children.

Therefore, in comparison, promoting marriage is more important than promoting childbirth.

As for why they don't get married, there are many reasons. The gender conflicts caused by female boxing, sky-high betrothal gifts, pressure from car rentals, and the collapse of rituals have led to some people's infidelity in marriage and love.

The above are all reasons, and there is no solution in the short term.

As for this skit about urging marriage, Luo Quan thought it would be good if it didn't have any side effects.

But the director team doesn't think so. Of course, there may be nothing the director team can do.

In short, her skit was killed after one rehearsal. Fortunately, she had another singing program and could still appear in the Spring Festival Gala.

Facing Wen Xia's inquiry, Luo Quan explained the situation truthfully, which made Wen Xia feel regretful for a while: "I was really looking forward to your skit... but this year's Spring Festival Gala is nothing to watch."

Luo Quan smiled confidently: "No, I also have a duet with Leon, don't I need to say more about the strength of the Phoenix Legend Group?"

This time, in order to gain popularity, she prepared a divine song of the "Secret Agent Secret Code" level.

What is an agent's secret code?

For example, when you talk to a guy who claims to be Chinese, and you ask him about palace jade wine, if he can't answer one hundred and eighty glasses, he must be a foreigner.

If the answer comes out, it may even be expanded to: How is this wine? Let me blow it for you, etc.

No doubt, this must be a Chinese.

There are also advanced versions of similar codes, such as the total price of Palace Yuye Wine and Big Hammer and Small Hammer, how many steps does it take to close the refrigerator like an elephant, two pieces of wood mean a double bed, what does ten pieces of wood mean, etc.

Speaking of which, these secret codes have become known to the Chinese people through previous Spring Festival Galas.

In the past, the Spring Festival Gala was about creating memes and stars, but now, it is clear who is popular and who goes to the Spring Festival Gala and then makes crazy jokes.

But this time, she plans to set the Spring Festival Gala back more than ten years and return it to the level it was at the beginning of the century.

Today, when the entertainment industry is getting worse and worse, if it really reverses course, the audience will not know how happy it will be.

However, Luo Quan can only guarantee that his own program can go backwards. As for others, he can only wish for blessings.

Last year's Spring Festival Gala was awkward from start to finish, and was rated by netizens as the worst Spring Festival Gala ever. For more than four hours, there was no program that was above the passing mark.

Luo Quan, who has gone through rehearsals, can only say that netizens are still too hasty. Soon last year's session will no longer be the worst, because this year will most likely be even worse than last year.

And when everyone sucks, her show will be made even more exciting.

However, Wen Xia has a different opinion on this: "Are you talking about the song you sang with Leon in the living room a few days ago?"

Luo Quan nodded proudly: "That's right, isn't it very touching?"

"Hmm...it feels a bit rustic." Wen Xia said a little embarrassed.

With her musical literacy, saying such words in front of Luo Quan was equivalent to an unlearned and unskilled bandit accusing Confucius of being uneducated and speaking without shame.

But although her musical literacy is not good, she still listens to a lot of songs and knows what is elegant and what is vulgar.

The girl group dance that she became famous for is just vulgar, but who doesn't like fair-skinned, beautiful and long-legged girls singing and dancing to the accompaniment of brainwashing melodies?

Luo Quan's highly praised classical music is elegant, but the number of people willing to listen is definitely not as high as the girl group's singing and dancing.

It's difficult to have both, but Luo Quan did it, so she is a genius.

But the song that will be played in the Spring Festival Gala this time seems a bit strange to Wen Xia.

It's definitely not elegant. The melody and lyrics are so straightforward that even children can understand it.

But it’s hard to say it’s vulgar, because this is Luo Quan’s work. These two words are its signature, and they were specially created for the Spring Festival Gala. How could it be associated with vulgarity?

However, the fact is that Wen Xia's first reaction after listening to the song was that she felt tacky. It reminded her of the square dance BGM that kept making noise outside the window when she was a child. It was brainwashing and noisy, and at the same time, it also had an unbearable atmosphere. The magic of humming along.

Whenever similar music plays, I stop thinking about reading and studying for a while and my mind goes out the window.

Compared with the songs he listened to when he was a child, Wen Xia felt that Luo Quan's song was even more brainwashing. After listening to it, he had to play the melody in his mind for half an hour when he went to bed at night. Stop.

If this song was really performed on the Spring Festival Gala, she felt that people across the country would not be able to get a good night's sleep during the Spring Festival.

Hearing Wen Xia's complaints, Luo Quan replied: "You don't know something about this. As the saying goes, great music has great sound, elephants are invisible, elegance is close to vulgarity, vulgarity to the extreme is elegance, and elegance to the extreme is vulgarity.

The quality of a piece of work is not something that can be judged simply. It also needs to be evaluated by a broad audience. "

"I haven't read much, don't lie to me." Wen Xia said hesitantly, always feeling that Luo Quan was deceiving her.

But there is a saying, being able to write songs to this extent is indeed not something that ordinary people can do.

It is said that Internet celebrity brainwashing songs have no gold content, but how many of them can actually write Internet celebrity brainwashing songs with over one billion views?

To achieve the ultimate in any industry, there is a level, and you cannot simply label it with elegance or vulgarity.

"Anyway, I'm looking forward to your and Leon's performance at the Spring Festival Gala. Maybe the Phoenix Legend group will become popular all over the country next year." Wen Xia sent his blessing.

"It will definitely become popular all over the country." Luo Quan replied confidently.

After a while, everyone went downstairs for lunch. Luo Quan introduced Ye Zhining to everyone just like he introduced Xu Yanqing before.

Everyone was applauding in welcome. Only Xu Yanqing was applauding while full of doubts, wondering why this Ye Zhining looked so familiar?

It is necessary to mention that not many people know the real name of Empress Shengtang. Most people only know that her surname is Ye, and they don't know much about the rest.

In order to cover up her appearance, Ye Zhining also used disguise earrings to modify her face, which was quite different from her original appearance.

Xu Yanqing hasn't seen the empress for a long time, so it's normal that she didn't recognize her for a while.

Fortunately, I didn't recognize him. If he had, he would probably have to kneel on the ground with a plop.

Luo Quan was not a citizen of Shengtang and could not understand what the empress meant to them.

Even though there are so many people on the Internet talking about Empress YY, a large number of them are from the Divine Blessing Federation. Although there are also many people from the Holy Tang Dynasty, they are on the Internet after all.

When it comes to offline, these people wouldn't dare to do this even if they had the courage to do so. They would even feel frightened if they were watched by the empress for a long time.

After pondering for a long time, Xu Yanqing still couldn't recall where he had seen Ye Zhining. He could only think that it was the sense of déjà vu that came after arriving in a new environment.

After lunch, Leon took Mia out for a walk. Luo Ni wanted to teach her little daughter how to speak, and Xu Yanqing also wanted to continue learning Chinese.

In the blink of an eye, only Luo Quan and Ye Zhining were left.

However, after returning to the room, Luo Quan discovered that Ye Zhining's face didn't seem very good-looking, and she looked worried.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Luo Quan asked with a smile, "What makes you so sad?"

"My beloved concubine, are you hiding something from me?" Ye Zhining stared at Luo Quan closely, with a sharp gaze that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

"What else do I have to hide?" Luo Quan didn't understand why Ye Zhining asked.

"You said that your home planet is a second-level civilization that has not yet developed controllable nuclear fusion technology. Then how did you get to Huanyu Star?"

Ye Zhining actually discovered this problem very early, but she didn't take it too seriously.

But now, she really wants to hear Luo Quan explain why a second-level civilization can have long-distance teleportation technology across the star sea.

"I said I picked up a treasure, and this treasure allowed me to travel through space. Does your Majesty believe it?"

Luo Quan looked at Ye Zhining with clear eyes, without any dodge or hesitation.

"Can a second-level civilization have such a treasure?" Ye Zhining felt that Luo Quan must be joking, but looking at her, she was telling the truth.

"Our current technological level is indeed not high, but that does not mean that the technological level in ancient times was also so low.

When I was a child, I often saw TV saying that there may have been civilizations with extremely advanced technology in the ancient times of the earth, but for some reason, these civilizations all died out.

And the current development of human civilization will only take about ten thousand years at all costs. I don't know if this is a long time or a short time in Huanyu Star. "

"It's already quite short. It would take tens of thousands of years for civilizations on many planets to understand just from using flames to inventing steam engines."

Ye Zhining thought about Luo Quan's words and murmured: "But even if it is a lost civilization, it should not be able to retain any technology."

"So what did His Majesty see on the Internet that made him suddenly care about this matter?" Luo Quan asked curiously, intending to get to the bottom of it.

"It's not that I saw something." Ye Zhining shook his head slightly, "I just discovered that my strength has been suppressed by this world, which is something I have never experienced on other planets.

Ordinary planets have absolutely no such ability, which means that your home planet, the Earth, is definitely not as ordinary as you think. "

"There is such a thing?!" Luo Quan heard this and opened his mouth in surprise, but he had already expected it.
