Chapter 1055 Manslaughter

"Are you happy now?"

Luo Quan's long legs were raised high on the computer table, and he said in a very dissatisfied tone: "It's okay to be led by an outsider. Why are you helping to fan the flames? Are you eager to find something for me to do?"

"Originally I just wanted to have some fun, but who knew you guys had the same idea as me."

"Is it too late to regret it now?"

"Luo Bao wants to make a movie, so there is no time for live broadcast."

"I regret it now, very much."

"Damn, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been able to coax him."

"I don't want to watch a movie now, so please return my live broadcast. (crying.jpg)"

………………

Although fans have realized the mistake, many things can be useful without admitting the mistake.

Luo Quan was finally put on the shelf and accepted the bet.

Of course, she herself is indeed a little restless. After all, she hasn't made a movie for a long time. She just took this opportunity to make a few masterpieces with a small cost and a big return to create excitement.

"But don't worry, everyone. This movie is a small production, so the workload won't be too big. I can still find time to live broadcast it for everyone occasionally in the evening."

Luo Quan saw how pitiful the barrages were, so he took the initiative to comfort them.

After the live broadcast ended, Luo Quan remembered that Leon and Mia had a flight early this morning and were going to go downstairs to see how the ceremony was being done.

In fact, the young couple wants to spend more time in China, but pregnant women are not suitable for flying after thirty-four weeks of pregnancy.

In order to avoid accidents, Leon and Mia are preparing to return to China early. Mia's parents there can't wait to see their daughter and their future grandchildren.

However, when he got downstairs, Luo Quan found that the young couple were cuddling together and watching American TV series. There was no suitcase in the living room. It didn't look like they were about to catch a plane.

Luo Quan asked doubtfully: "Isn't your flight tonight?"

"I won't go back for the time being." Leon said with a smile.

"Why." Luo Quan smiled, "Can't you bear to leave your sister and me here?"

"That's not true." Leon shook his head, "Something happened in Ohio. It was said that some chemicals were leaked. Now half of the state is polluted. The situation is very serious.

My father-in-law said that the current situation is not very good, so he asked us to stay in China and not come back for the time being. "

"Is there such a thing?" Luo Quan was a little surprised and quickly checked on Twitter.

However, there was no news related to Ohio. On the contrary, the news about the United States using missiles to pop up balloons was overwhelming, making people who watched it dumbfounded.

She saw this two days ago. At first, she said that a UFO appeared in the sky over the United States and was shot down by the Air Force with a missile.

Later, it was discovered that it was just a weather balloon from another country, and then he said that he did not rule out the possibility of being an alien aircraft. Finally, he clarified that it was actually his own balloon that had been shot by mistake.

In short, there are all kinds of explanations, just like a joke.

Luo Quan, including other netizens, took this incident as amusement. After all, this was not the first time that a similar hilarious incident had happened.

As a result, when she heard Leon talking about the Ohio leak incident, she seemed to instantly understand the truth behind this series of hilarious incidents.

In fact, it is not a joke, but deliberately diverting people's attention.

When everyone pays attention to the balloon, won't the leak in Ohio be less troublesome?

And even if some people know it now, there is no news when searching on Twitter.

It can be seen that in addition to diverting attention, it has not failed at all in blocking relevant information.

"So what is the specific situation in Ohio now? Is the pollution serious?" Luo Quan asked his brother curiously.

"It's not clear. Some say it's on the same level as Chernobyl, but others say it's not that serious."

Leon shook his head: "But what is certain is that the place where the accident happened is definitely not suitable for people to live in. Families with children and pregnant women are best not to stay in Ohio and nearby areas for a long time."

"It's so serious." Luo Quan heard the words Chernobyl and roughly understood what the situation was. "Then we really should wait and see."

After receiving the news, Luo Quan did not immediately publicize it on the Internet. Instead, he posted a post and became the Riddler:

"I just got some breaking news about Ohio, but the specific situation is not very clear yet. In short, the train overturned and there was a chemical leak."

Fans of Chigua soon gathered:

“I just checked Twitter and there’s no big news.”

"It is normal for America's century-old railroads to overturn."

"I don't know what kind of chemical it is."

"I have a hunch that there might really be big news this time."

………………

Because things are still uncertain, Luo Quan's news did not cause much discussion.

It's nothing more than pollution caused by chemical leaks. The wildfires in the United States last year were so severe that not many people paid attention to them.

In comparison, the scolding war between fans of "Empty River Blue" and "The Wandering Earth 2" on Weibo is more interesting.

People who work in the same industry are enemies, not to mention that these two movies compete in the same schedule, and the box office is in a relationship where one is ebbing and the other is ebbing.

Their fans believe that as long as the reputation of the other party is worsened, the box office of their own movies will be improved, so they attack each other very vigorously.

But they ignored one thing, that is, public opinion on Weibo will be freed by capital.

In this kind of war of words, whoever capital wants to have the upper hand will have the upper hand.

At present, capital seems to have chosen "Empty River Blue".

After surpassing "The Wandering Earth 2" at the box office on the third day, the box office of "Empty River Blue" has fallen for two consecutive days.

With its current single-day box office volume, it is already remarkable that it can reverse the decline for one day. If it continues for another two or three days, the total box office will be well over 4 billion, and it will easily enter the domestic movie box office. Top ten in history!

If "The Wandering Earth 2" cannot be enjoyed within the next three days, it will be basically impossible to come back later.

As a spectator, Luo Quan had no intention of participating in this fight.

Because the market is based on customer choice.

If customers like popcorn movies, there will be more similar movies on the market, and capital will be more willing to invest in such movies.

vice versa.

A director once said that only rubbish audiences will produce rubbish movies.

Although this is extreme, it is not unreasonable.

However, Luo Quan actually feels that even if there are rubbish audiences, it is not a reason for him to make rubbish movies.

Directors at the bottom have no choice, of course they will shoot whatever they can.

But for those great and successful directors to show off like this, they are completely self-indulgent, and the audience cannot blame them.

In the past, when Luoquan was called the hope of Chinese music, film and television, it also imagined that it could revitalize the entire market on its own.

Later, she discovered that the market did not need to be excited, because good things would never be buried, and she could just make films seriously.

Therefore, she does not intend to participate in the battle between "Kong Helan" and "The Wandering Earth 2".

As for the evaluation of the movie "Songhelan" just now, it is completely from the perspective of an ordinary audience.

Whatever the film turns out to be will be her evaluation, nothing more.

After being forced to accept the bet, she could only start planning the filming.

The first movie requires a lot of extras, and the male lead and second female lead need to have acting skills, so Luo Quan made a special note in the statement he posted on Weibo:

The male lead, first female lead, and second female lead must have a professional title of level three or above before they can sign up for the audition, while the second male lead and third female lead must have a level four or above.

To be honest, this condition is already very loose, especially for the latter two roles. In the past, they could only be regarded as having acting skills but not outstanding levels.

Now that I have an actor-level professional title, it had some effects when I first arrived, but soon there were connections.

Although his acting skills are just like that, he was able to obtain a third-level professional title and was nominated for important awards many times.

If this continues, this actor rating will become nothing more than a joke in the end.

Of course, as a director and producer, Luo Quan is responsible for ensuring that he will not encounter those disgusting things.

However, even though the requirements have been stated, the mailbox still receives some job application videos from people who do not meet the requirements.

Thinking that there might be a hidden gem in the ocean, Luo Quan still carefully watched the performances of these young people.

Then she regretted it.

Speaking of which, these are all "old people" who have been in the industry for a few years, and actor ratings are not new. Anyone who wants to make progress should hone their skills at this time.

As a result, the performances in these job-hunting videos still make people feel so embarrassed. Let alone playing the main role, even playing a supporting role makes people feel like they are acting out.

However, seeing these job seekers being so polite and calling her Teacher Luo, Luo Quan still replied to them in a euphemistic tone:

"Please hone your acting skills, I'm optimistic about you."

If you are celebrating the New Year, you won’t hurt others.

If it were a bad-tempered director, he would either block him or scold him. Luo Quan felt that he was already quite kind.

What's interesting is that it's been a while since I made my recruitment announcement, but the people who come to apply for jobs are either freshmen or transparent people with no popularity. Those middle-aged actors with acting skills and reputations don't seem to be interested in my movies.

Her requirements are not high either. There are currently hundreds of people with second-level professional titles.

Not sure if she could express her meaning clearly, Luo Quan could only post another Weibo post:

“It’s the Chinese New Year and everyone is resting at home, don’t you plan to work overtime?

But if I come to perform this time, I will get overtime pay and unexpected surprises, and it will be easy for me to win awards for my movies. "

When a fact is told in the tone of a child playing house, it doesn't seem very convincing.

The applicants haven’t appeared yet, but netizens started laughing:

"Haha, Luo Quan, why is Party A so humble? Can you be tougher?"

"Isn't it because they are busy with family reunions and don't have time to act in movies?"

"Who asked you to criticize the National Master? He is a highly respected senior with such a wide network of connections. Who dares to risk offending him to film for you?"

"After all, China is still a human society, and you don't just have to be capable to do whatever you want."

"If I apologize to Lao Mouzi, can this matter be resolved?"

"Netizens, don't overthink it. Maybe people don't take this matter to heart at all."

"Maybe."

……………………

He does not mean that.

Luo Quan was quite puzzled as to what was going on, but netizens' speculations awoke her.

Although I did not criticize Lao Mouzi subjectively, this was the meaning conveyed by those unscrupulous media in the end.

She didn't know how petty that person was, but being judged by his peers in front of the entire network, it was a bit hard to live up to in terms of face.

Perhaps because of what they said in private, or perhaps because of the speculations of others in the entertainment industry, those famous actors are not planning to take a dip in this muddy water at the moment.

It doesn't matter if you don't act in one or two movies, but it's not worth it if you offend people.

Everyone in this circle is a smart person, so it’s clear how to settle this account.

Of course, it's possible that everyone is overthinking it.

Lao Mouzi didn't take this seriously, and the actors just wanted to have a good year and didn't want to work overtime.

As for apologizing, Luo Quan would never apologize because of some baseless rumors.

What's more, she didn't do anything wrong.

As for actors, take your time to find them. At worst, you have to lower your standards. If second-level actors are not good, just use third-level actors.

Needless to say, a third-level actor actually came to the door soon.

However, this third level is not that third level. The third level here specifically refers to the professional title level.

"Hello, Director Luo, I am actor Xiao Yang. Although my level is not high enough, I believe my acting skills meet your requirements. Can you give me a chance to interview?"

There was only a cover letter in the email, and there wasn't even a video. Maybe I just wanted to give it a try.

When Luo Quan saw that the name Xiao Yang seemed familiar, he searched online.

It was discovered that he was a member of a music group called the Spoon Brothers.

In the music industry, the Spoon Brothers are considered second-tier, in a stage where they are neither rising nor falling.

There hasn't been much movement in this group in recent years, and I don't know if it has disbanded.

Anyway, Xiao Yang, as a singer, has now started to change his career as an actor.

Although he became a monk halfway, he is quite talented and has performed quite well in supporting roles in several comedy movies.

But so far he has not acted in films other than comedies, nor has he played a leading role.

However, Luo Quan searched for clips of his appearances and felt that he was a talent that could be further explored, so he replied:

"Send a short video of your performance. The content is that you learned that your wife and daughter killed someone, and as the backbone of the family, you became calm and calm after encountering such a big event. Tell them not to be nervous and wait for you. I’ll make plans after I get back.”

Luo Quan quickly recounted the outline of this episode, and then began to look forward to Xiao Yang's reply.

Soon, the video was sent.

It only lasted fifteen seconds. After watching it, Luo Quan immediately made the decision: "Okay, you will play the male lead!"
