Chapter 1063 Reversal
Originally, Luo Quan's reputation in South Korea was in a state of collapse due to the Spring Festival incident.
But after the news of the film being made was announced, there was an unexpected turn of events.
To this day, there are still many fans of hers in South Korea.
After all, her original controversial statement was not about the issue, not the person, and not all Koreans in AOE, but only a certain group of people.
It's just that in the context at that time, everyone would definitely feel that he was talking about himself, and Luo Quan's words were indeed quite intense, which is why so many Korean passers-by turned into negative fans.
However, just like many domestic celebrities who still have a lot of crazy fans after breaking the law, Luo Quan also has such fans in South Korea, and there are quite a lot of them.
In the past, it was difficult for this group of fans to clear their ground because of the outraged public opinion. But now that the new movie is about to start filming, they finally found an opportunity.
The reason is: Luo Quan only hates those people on the Internet who deliberately incite conflicts, and does not use map cannons. This filming of a movie set in South Korea is proof.
This explanation sounds far-fetched, and if it is a crime film set in South Korea, I don’t know if it is considered a smear campaign, so it has mixed reviews on the Internet.
But no matter what, it is indeed worthy of attention that a major international director like Luo Quan makes a movie based on a well-known case in his own country.
And this can also be understood to mean that Luo Quan doesn't have much opinion on Korean things, but the matter of grabbing the Spring Festival really breaks the bottom line, so he said such things.
Anyone with simple patriotic feelings will have a similar reaction when encountering this kind of thing.
It's just that as a star, Luo Quan's words are more influential.
Besides, anyone who has studied history will know who owns the Spring Festival, and who deliberately instigates and sets the pace. Luo Quan only scolds these bad people.
However, there are not many people on the Internet who can distinguish right from wrong. Most of them follow the trend and are blind.
In short, Luo Quan's reputation in Korea has finally improved due to the official announcement of the movie "Memories of Murder" and the unremitting efforts of fans.
After the incident subsided, and everyone calmed down, they found that her scolding was not particularly excessive, so people began to look forward to the movie again.
They wanted to know how Luo Quan would film a case that was well known in South Korea.
Moreover, she also said during the live broadcast that she was aiming for this movie to win international awards, which shows how seriously she attaches importance to it. With this as a premise, "Memories of Murder" is even more worth looking forward to.
As for Luo Quan herself, she did not expect that her reputation in South Korea would one day come back to life.
She was already ready to give up on the Korean market. Now it seems that there are many normal people on the Internet, but she didn't seem to like to talk much before.
Of course, no matter how her reputation in South Korea changes, it will not have any impact on her domestic filming plans.
After the actor recruitment advertisement was released, there was an endless stream of actors and actresses who submitted application letters.
It's a pity that the movie "Memories of Murder" doesn't have any outstanding female characters. Most of the women who appear are victims. Their scenes only last about one minute, and some of them don't even have faces.
Even if movie queens are willing to play supporting roles in her movies to enhance their qualifications, it does not mean that they are willing to stoop to play supporting roles or even corpses.
My influence is not that great yet.
So the first thing she looked at were the application letters, or application videos, from the male actors.
Some post their past award-winning resumes and representative works, letting their achievements speak for themselves.
Some just make a short short film to show off their superb acting skills, and there is still a lot of useful information.
Unlike some fresh meat, he just said "Good morning, sister Luoquan".
Although he is very polite, I don't know why, but it still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Moreover, the entire article talks about how popular he is, how many fans he has, and how high his box office appeal is, but the most critical level of acting is not mentioned at all.
Luo Quan glanced at such cover letters and threw them directly into the garbage bin. They had no value at all.
After reading his mailbox for half an hour, Luo Quan decided on a list of four or five characters, leaving one rebel male lead without a choice.
The villain in the setting is a handsome and handsome man who looks more like a mother than a serial murderer.
That is to say, because the image of the villain is so different from the murderer in people's habitual thinking, it can create a greater sense of contrast.
In fact, there are quite a few male stars of this type who engage in domestic entertainment, and those who are relatively popular are very suitable for the requirements.
It's just that the acting skills of the young actors who met this requirement were so awkward that Luo Quan had no desire to choose.
And just as she was thinking about how to solve this problem, Wen Xia walked into the room.
"Busy, Luoluo?"
Wen Xia holds this thermos cup in her hand, which contains fragrant honey and wolfberry tea.
Since practicing martial arts, Wen Xia has become more and more health-conscious. She uses some folk remedies that she doesn't know where to get from all day long. They say they nourish yin, nourish the kidneys, and beautify the skin, but she doesn't know whether they are effective or not.
"We're deciding on a new movie role, haven't you fallen asleep yet?" Luo Quan glanced up, then quickly looked back.
"I'm thinking about your new movie, where can I sleep?" Wen Xia got straight to the point and explained his purpose.
As the saying goes, first come first, first come first, in Luo Quan's new movie, whenever there is a female character that is easy to shine, Wen Xia will be the first one to consider.
And this time she also wanted to come over and see if there was a more suitable role.
"This movie is all about men. Girls' scenes are not easy to film." Luo Quan looked at Wen Xia and said with a smile.
"Aren't you still worried about my acting skills? Isn't it easy to handle any role?"
Wen Xia smiled confidently: "Tell me what role it is."
"In my play, there are more or less roles that girls can play. They are Female Corpse No. 1, Female Corpse No. 2, Female Corpse No. 3, and Female Corpse No. 4."
Luo Quan turned around and looked at Wen Xia as he spoke: "Which one do you want to choose?"
"Why are they all corpses?" Wen Xia's smile immediately dropped, "Isn't there anything that can move?"
"Yes." Luo Quan nodded, "Female Corpse No. 2 had a one-man show before she was killed. It took about one minute. Do you want to do it?"
"..." Wen Xia looked at Luo Quan speechlessly, "Aren't there any female characters who don't have to die?"
Luo Quan spread his hands helplessly: "I can't help it. Most of the female characters in my movie are victims. The female police officer doesn't have to die, but she has too few scenes and she's not outstanding."
"It doesn't matter. The female police car is a female police officer. Anyway, I am idle and I just want to find something to do."
As soon as Wen Xia heard what Luo Quan said, she knew that this movie was a proper men's drama, and she lost her expectations.
But anyway, the filming in Beijing is finished, and there is no announcement next, so I will play a role in Luo Quan's new movie to avoid being bored in the following days.
"Okay, I'll send you the script later."
Luo Quan nodded and seemed to remember something: "By the way Wen Xia, the villain in my play has never been decided. Now I need someone who is delicate in appearance and a bit weak, but can portray himself as a murderer through acting skills." Actor, do you have anyone in mind?"
Wen Xia laughed: "It's hard to find weak ones, aren't they all little fresh meat?
It's hard to find masculine handsome guys nowadays, but aren't there a lot of sissy handsome guys with more than 10 million fans? "
Luo Quan rolled his eyes at Wen Xia: "Pay attention to the conditions and have acting skills!"
"Yes, you also need to have acting skills."
Wen Xia frowned when he heard this: "Acting skills... acting skills... how is Zhao Xilin?"
"That's right!" Luo Quan slapped his thigh, "How could I forget about him!"
Zhao Xilin is the first male star that Luo Quan became popular in China. The two collaborated in "The Queen Wears Chanel" and "Farewell My Concubine".
Although Zhao Xilin is a pure man, the feminine temperament he displays on the big screen is indeed more feminine than a woman.
It really shouldn't be forgotten about such an outstanding person.
But after all, Luo Quan wanted to recruit Zhao Xilin before but was rejected. After that, she never learned about him again, and it was understandable that she didn't remember it for a while.
I just don't know if Zhao Xilin is willing to play this villain who is easily scolded, given his current worth.
Ever since he won the Best Actor Award at Cannes for his role as Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine", Zhao Xilin's popularity in China has soared like a rocket, with various film and television and endorsements continuing.
Later, she acted in a drama called "Dangai", which became even more popular. Now she has more than 70 million fans on Weibo.
He has a lot of traffic, acting skills and honors. At present, it is estimated that there is no second young actor in the country who can compare with him.
As a top-notch actor with Cannes Best Actor-level acting skills, Zhao Xilin's salary was basically set at upwards of 50 million after he obtained the first-class actor certificate.
And even if the price is set so high, there are still countless crews crying and wanting to find him, which shows how ridiculously popular he is.
Is such a famous star really willing to play a supporting role?
Luo Quan was not sure in his heart.
"Zhao Xilin is now a top figure in the entertainment industry. He is even better than I was at my peak. Can I get him?" Wen Xia said with a smile, as if he was testing Luo Quan's ability.
"I still have some friendship with him...right?" Luo Quan himself wasn't very sure, after all, we hadn't contacted each other for a long time.
Even though he was the one who made him famous, people's hearts are far apart. Who knows what he is thinking now.
In fact, if there were no other suitable candidates and she didn't want to lower her standards, Luo Quan really didn't want to find Zhao Xilin.
After all, she is not a person who asks for favors in return. She doesn't contact others when nothing happens, and only contacts others when she needs something.
If someone refuses, they are ungrateful. If they don’t refuse, they would feel a little embarrassed.
In short, it doesn't matter if you are looking for him, or if you don't look for him.
Just when Luo Quan was hesitating, Zhao Xilin took the initiative to send an email:
"Director Luo, I haven't contacted you for a long time. Do you have any undecided roles in your movie? Anything is fine, and it doesn't matter if you're a bit player. I heard it's a masterpiece, so I want to come over and get some credit. (Gotou.jpg)"
"Did you see that Lao Zhao is still a very particular person?"
Luo Quan pointed at the email, said to Wen Xia, and then quickly replied:
"There is also a male villain. I don't know who to play, so you sent me an email. Don't you think this is a coincidence?
However, this villain may be scolded if he plays the role well or not, so you have to think carefully about it. "
Zhao Xilin’s reply was also quick:
"I'm not worried about Director Luo's movie. If I hadn't spent time with my family during the Spring Festival, I would have applied for it.
Originally, when I saw that no one answered your Weibo post, I thought that there would be a stalemate for a while, so I planned to spend some time with my family before asking you. I didn't expect that you would confirm the role the next day.
I missed "Manslaughter" and I can't miss it this time, so I sent you an email as soon as I finished the work at hand. "
This email was Zhao Xilin's introduction to the fact that he had not participated in "Manslaughter" before, and he was afraid that Luo Quan would think too much.
In fact, Luo Quan never thought that Zhao Xilin would be thinking about this matter at that time. After all, although she was objectively the one who made him angry, she never thought about asking Zhao Xilin to repay her.
Cooperation and mutual benefit have always been her thoughts.
I just didn't expect Zhao Xilin to be so proactive.
"Then the third male lead will be assigned to you. You can read the script later and sign it if you think it's okay."
Luo Quan replied happily and also sent the script.
There was no movement there for the moment, probably because they were reading the script.
Luo Quan also turned to look at Luo Quan at this time: "Did you see that with my connections, I still need to invite actors personally if I want to find them?
Even the best actor is willing to come to me! "
Wen Xia curled her lips disdainfully, but didn't know how to refute. After all, facts speak louder than words.
If it were in the past, she would have said that Luo Quan would have to teach him a lesson.
But after practicing martial arts, she realized how big the gap was between herself and Luo Quan.
He had messed around with her before, but was not counterattacked. It was really Luo Quan who showed mercy.
If he does this again now, who knows if he will be the one begging for mercy.
The good news is that he is the only one who knows Luo Luo's weakness. As long as his eyes look at that place intentionally or unintentionally, Luo Luo's body will tremble and his hair will stand on end.
This is a conditioned reflex and has nothing to do with strength.
Thinking of this, Wen Xia couldn't help but smile again, as if she had Luo Quan under control again.
So if anything, the Spiritual Victory Method is really useful.
When Luo Quan saw Wen Xia staring fiercely at his penis just now, he immediately tightened his anus and prepared to defend.
But she didn't expect Wen Xia to return to normal soon, which surprised her.
According to past situations, Wen Xia would definitely retaliate against himself after being frustrated.
This time it didn't, and I don't know what the problem was.
Maybe he knows the difference in strength, so he doesn't dare to take action easily?
Luo Quan also laughed when he thought of this.
If this is the case, the offensive and defensive dynamics will have to change.
