Chapter 1264 Tragedy Is Always More Unforgettable (Part 3)

Thank you for your hard work, we hope to work together again in the future!

After Luo Quan paid everyone, she sent a thank you message in the group, and then received many thanks and blessings for the box office success.

After the filming of the movie is finished, the next step is to wait for the company to complete the special effects, editing, dubbing, etc., and then it can be submitted for review.

However, because "Honghuang 2" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, there are still several months, so there is no need to rush.

On the contrary, I have to hurry up for the movie I promised to my fans.

Although Luo Quan said a long time ago that this would be a somewhat sad movie, fans didn't care about it at all when they heard that Luo Quan was the lead actor.

It's been a long time since I saw her starring in a movie. It's good enough that she can shoot for everyone. Why are you so picky?

In fact, at the beginning of the year, she filmed a movie called Buried Alive. Although it was a little short, it was indeed her starring role.

However, in the eyes of most fans, this Buried Alive is not particularly different from a short film. It looks good, but it's not exciting enough.

What they want to see is a good movie that is exciting enough and shows Luo Quan's acting skills.

Whether it can win an award is secondary. If it is like Alice in Resident Evil, it would be great. You can see her fighting scenes, high heels, cheongsams, and long legs. It's really cool.

It's a pity that Resident Evil 3 has been delayed for a long time, and this time it is not a masterpiece that will open up a certain movie universe.

But the same thing, considering that Luo Quan has not been a leading actor for a long time, everyone is willing to watch her no matter what she shoots.

After finishing the filming of "Honghuang 2", Luo Quan did not stop for a moment and directly issued an actor recruitment on Weibo.

"Next, I will shoot a movie on Hailan Island. The theme is youth, sadness, redemption, and love. If you are interested, you can send the interview video to my email. After passing, there will be further auditions."

If such a recruitment advertisement was posted at the beginning of the year, I am afraid that few big names would respond.

But now the situation is different. In less than a year, "Memories of Murder" swept domestic and international awards, and "Honghuang" won the annual box office champion.

In terms of both critical acclaim and box office success, Luo Quan achieved a win-win situation, that is, she won twice.

If anyone is still indifferent to her recruitment, they are either too busy to accept it, or they are more self-aware and know that their acting skills cannot meet Luo Quan's requirements.

In any case, actors with normal brains will not want to miss the opportunity to film her drama, even if they know that the competition is extremely fierce.

The only uncomfortable thing is that the recruitment of this movie did not mention the male and female protagonists. It is likely that these two candidates have been divided by Luo Quan, so there are only supporting roles and group performances left.

But supporting roles are supporting roles, as long as they can show their faces, it is better than nothing.

This is Luo Quan's own starring movie. The level of the movies she starred in before, whether it is "Joker" or "Silence of the Lambs", is no longer necessary to elaborate.

For most actors, being able to appear in a movie of this level is to add gold content to their resumes, and they will not be disgusted.

As for the male and female protagonists of the new movie, the female protagonist will definitely be Luo Quan, and the selection of the male protagonist has become a topic of gossip for everyone.

The theme of the new movie is about love.

To be honest, this should be the first time that Luoquan has made a movie with love elements since her debut.

Although her first screen kiss was given to Aragorn, it was a borrowed position, and the real people did not kiss.

In addition, she did not have many roles in the Lord of the Rings, so fans did not take it seriously.

As for other movies, they were basically related to love.

In fact, fans also look forward to Luoquan's performance in a love movie, and at the same time envy the male lead for being able to be a couple with Luoquan, even if it is only in a movie.

Although kissing is not allowed, there will always be hugging, holding hands, and head-to-head contact, which are all relatively restrained behaviors between lovers.

But fans still think it is too much, and their jealousy makes them almost crazy, so much so that the words "Luoquan is about to fall in love" are sent to the hot search.

Male fans who don't know the truth are in mourning, and only after reading the news do they know that this is a movie, but it is just a false alarm.

After paying attention to Luo Quan's new breakthrough in the film, the film labels of youth and love also made fans very concerned.

In their cognition, these words are synonymous with bad movies in a sense.

What xxx lost youth, my youth xxx, those years xxx, it gives people a very bloody sense of déjà vu.

Because this kind of youth pain literature is either about boys and girls not studying hard and fighting, or high school students falling in love early.

Of course, it doesn't mean that early love is definitely bad, but in this open environment, everyone knows what early love means.

After all, not every couple knows when to indulge and when to restrain.

Once the hormones induced by love begin to take effect, there may not be much rationality left in the person's mind.

Therefore, it makes sense for the hometown to resist early love.

But these youth movies seem to like to shoot this, as if it is wrong if there is no vigorous love between male and female classmates.

However, there are not so many passionate love stories in the world, and how many couples in school days can go to the end? In the final analysis, it is just the result of energy that has nowhere to be released and the depression caused by studying.

There are too many such movies. At the beginning, everyone will miss them after watching them. They will miss the campus, the playground, the classroom and you who sit at the same table.

But if you watch too many such movies, it will be meaningless, especially since such movies often end in tragedy, which makes people feel even more uncomfortable.

In this world, there are still more people who like happy endings. Tragedy can certainly make people more unforgettable, but it is also easier to make people afraid.

After all, we cannot choose the tragedy in life, but we can still choose to watch or not watch tragic movies.

So since those youth pain movies in the past few years were scolded by netizens and few people watched them, no investors are willing to invest in this type of movie.

Now Luo Quan suddenly wants to shoot such an unpopular theme. I don’t know whether to say that she is bold or confident.

In the eyes of netizens, this is definitely not the best choice.

It would be great to just shoot crime movies like "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Memories of Murder", which have the tension of solving a case and pursuing the truth, and can also reflect social reality and have depth.

This is what Luo Quan is best at and what the audience likes to watch the most.

Of course, her current choice can also be seen as stepping out of her comfort zone to pursue a breakthrough.

If it is too unchanging, netizens will also feel bored.

Therefore, we still have to see how Luo Quan's movie this time is shot, and only after watching it can we evaluate whether her choice is good or bad.

"So, you plan to let me play the male lead?" Wen Xia looked at Luo Quan with a slightly surprised expression: "But how can a girl like me play the male lead, and I have never played like this before, and I have no experience at all."

In order to figure out the script of "Hidden in the Dust" given to her by Luo Quan, Wen Xia read countless books and watched videos, and even went to the fields to do farm work. She even dreamed that she became a farmer, just to play this role well.

As a result, she is now told that she doesn't have to play a farmer for the time being, but to play the male lead in a youth romance movie. Is this nonsense?

Although she found it interesting that the heroine was Luo Quan, could the love story of two women really pass the review and be released?

Even in Farewell My Concubine, the emotions of the two male protagonists were very restrained and obscure. Would Luo Quan dare to be blatant again?

Or should it be handled like Farewell My Concubine?

"Do you know cross-dressing? Cross-dressing." Seeing that Wen Xia seemed a little hesitant, Luo Quan explained directly: "Such roles are not uncommon. They are just women dressed as men. Aren't Xu Xian in Legend of White Snake and Jia Baoyu in Dream of Red Mansions both cross-dressing?

And the protagonist of Under One Person played by Lin Mo recently was also cross-dressing. Have you forgotten all these?"

"I didn't forget, but can it really work?" Wen Xia looked down at her chest, "After all, she is still a girl. Will it be out of place?"

"With your size, you don't need to worry about this at all." Luo Quan leaned his head on the sofa and said with a smile.

Because Wen Xia hadn't taken the potion from the universe yet, her figure was only good enough, and Luo Quan's love was definitely several levels lower.

It was also because of this that Luo Quan let her play the male lead and he played the female lead.

When Wen Xia heard this, although she knew that Luo Quan's words were reasonable, she still felt very angry.

"Is it great to have a good figure?" Wen Xia glared at her friend, stretched out her hand and said unhappily: "Take out the script, let me see what the story is."

"Oh my God, I seem to hear that someone is going to make a new movie!" Suddenly, Leon walked in from the yard, excitedly said: "What movie is it, do I have a chance to play it?

Sister, do you know how long it has been since I played a serious role? If you don't give me a chance, I will even forget how to act!"

Luo Quan replied with a smile: "The remaining roles in my play don't seem to be suitable for you."

"How is it possible!" Leon smiled and said: "I am a movie emperor, what kind of role can't I portray?"

"Wen Xia has the male lead script, I am the female lead, the kind that has to fall in love, are you going to play it?" Luo Quan said, and drank a sip of boiled water leisurely.

Leon looked at Wen Xia, and his expression became complicated.

He imagined the possible consequences of playing this role, one is German orthopedics, and the other is the British court.

It doesn't sound like a good ending.

"It seems that I really can't play this male lead, so are there any other roles?" Leon continued to ask.

Luo Quan replied: "There is also a role of a rapist, but you are not suitable for it."

"Why?!" Leon was puzzled, but soon he thought of something, "You are not going to tell me that the victim is you?"

"What else?" Luo Quan spread his hands, looking helpless.

"That's really a headache." Leon scratched his head and felt that this matter probably didn't work.

"Luo Bao, what kind of plot is this? Why does it sound so cruel?" Wen Xia said as she opened the script, "I remember that you hate tragedy, why don't you say and do it?"

"Because tragedies tend to be more unforgettable." Luo Quan replied, "The more unforgettable something is, the easier it is to become a classic. Many comedies will be forgotten after everyone laughs, but if it is a tragedy, then maybe it has passed. "

"You do have some ideas." Wen Xia chuckled and began to read the background of the movie script.

"The story takes place in a seaside town. The protagonist is Xia Qing. He is a good student with excellent academic performance, but he has a tragic fate..."

Wen Xia was entranced as she watched it, and soon her eyes even turned red. She was obviously hurt by this heart-wrenching story, and she began to cry uncontrollably.

"Is it so cruel?" Leon asked curiously, then turned to look at Luo Quan: "Sister, give me a copy of the script."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Xia handed the script to Leon.

She wiped her tears and said, "No, this script is too miserable. I couldn't stand it until I read half of it. Let me adjust my mood before talking."

Leon blinked and his expression became cautious. Before opening the script, he specially pulled out two pieces of paper just in case.

However, less than ten minutes had passed, and tears had already begun to gather in Leon's eyes.

As the embodiment of the American dream and the tough guy in the eyes of thousands of girls, Leon Albert actually cried.

Probably to maintain his dignity as a man, he resisted wiping away his tears.

"Okay, you can cry if you want. What should you pretend to be in front of your sister?" Luo Quan handed the tissue to Leon.

"I am in my twenties, and this is the first time I cry like this." Leon took a tissue, quickly wiped away his tears, and then continued reading the script.

After reading the second half, he couldn't stand it anymore. He put down the script and took a deep breath: "Let's go here first, let me slow down."

"Why don't you read it all in one sitting?" Luo Quan laughed.

"You can still laugh after writing such a script?" Leon was surprised. "Sister, you are so hard-hearted. No wonder you can write such a cruel story."

Wen Xiachong, who had already recovered, asked his friend: "Luo Bao, I remember you said that this story would have a happy ending, but why can't I see such a sign at all?"

"There is a happy ending in the end. You haven't seen it yet." Luo Quan said, taking out another script from his backpack: "Each of you has a copy. Take it back and read it slowly. Friendly reminder, be prepared. Tissues."
