Chapter 508 Wedding
Although it was very uncomfortable, she was still able to bear the pain because she was filming a movie.
Although she has the body of a girl, she is not squeamish at all.
After all the preparatory work was completed, Luo Quan picked an auspicious day and held a start-up ceremony in Hengdian. Guan Erye and Zhao Gongming, the two gods of civil and military wealth, all paid homage.
On one's own territory, these gods still have to be respected. Although the country now advocates science and opposes feudal superstition, these are thoughts engraved in the bones after all, and they can be eliminated so easily.
After the opening ceremony, major information about the movie began to be gradually revealed online, including the plot synopsis, starring list, and various highlights.
The clothing video Luo Quan shot a few days ago has also become the most clicked video among these messages.
She said before that the investment in this movie would be very large. At that time, fans had no idea how big the investment would be for an urban comedy without special effects shots.
Now when I watch the video, I immediately realize that many of the clothes in these three boxes are limited editions or out-of-print designs from major luxury brands. They are the kind that will never be sold as new products. This time, they were all given to Luo Quan. It was really shocking to use it in a movie.
You may be able to get money for this kind of brand, after all, capital is all about profit, but for classic clothing from so many brands, the amount of money you need to spend must be an astronomical figure.
However, according to Luo Quan, this is only the first part of the investment. The latter part of the investment will be larger, even several times the former!
This makes everyone curious about what it will be.
With such an eye-catching video for marketing, the popularity of "The Queen Wears Chanel" has begun to rise. Because it focuses on women, fashion, workplace and other themes, it has a larger audience on Weibo and Douban than on Bilibili. Topic.
However, Luo Quan himself has not done much marketing in these places. He relies entirely on marketing accounts to help, but this does not affect the trend of movies becoming popular before they are filmed at all.
Originally, Luo Quan was going to devote herself to the filming, promoting and producing at the same time, but two unexpected happy events made her stop all the work she was doing.
"Aunt Luo is pregnant, and she is going to have a wedding with Uncle Eric soon?!" Wen Xia's eyes were as big as bells when she heard what her friend told her.
"I just found out about this too." Luo Quan couldn't help but smile. She felt happy for her mother from the bottom of her heart.
The only thing that needs to be noted is that the mother is already considered an older mother when she is pregnant with a baby at this age. However, she has always been in good health. If she pays a little attention to maintenance, there will not be any big problems.
"In five days, there will be a wedding in Provence, France. I also invite you and Aunt Wen to attend. I have booked the air tickets. Pack your luggage quickly." Luo Quan did not give his friend any room to refuse and directly urged her to pack and change. clothing.
In fact, Wen Xia had no reason to refuse.
The Luo Quan and Wen Xia families used to be opposite each other. They had lived together for so many years and their relationship was quite deep. They could not be said to be a family, but they were not much different.
Although Aunt Luo is older, this is also her first wedding. The ceremony that has been delayed for more than ten years has finally been made up. Wen Xia and Wen Xia's mother will attend because of the love and reason.
As for Luo Quan, she was actually in a state of surprise and joy.
All this happened without warning. She was completely unprepared when she found out about it. She even felt that her mother's decision to hold the wedding was a little hasty.
In her opinion, the wedding of mother and father should be more grand.
Luo Quan has heard her mother say more than once that the best wedding in her mind is to have the best orchestra and pastor, put on the most beautiful wedding dress, walk into the hall accompanied by the most beautiful bridesmaids, and promise to the person you love most until death. An everlasting oath.
But after so many years, when all this happened, the wedding venue was only in a monastery in a valley in Provence. With Luoquan's lack of geographical knowledge, he had never even heard of this place.
The priest was only a priest in the monastery, and he invited not many witnesses, including relatives on both sides, less than fifty in total.
This is quite different from the grandness and grandeur Luo Quan imagined.
But she soon felt relieved. After so many years, her mother had long passed the age when her heart was full of fantasy and longing like a girl.
When she was young, her mother might have hoped that the person she loved was a great hero who could ride on colorful auspicious clouds to marry her.
But in those years when she met her father again, her mother had very few opportunities to get news from him.
Now that all the hardships have come to an end, she probably no longer desires too many things, and is satisfied with just having a simple wedding ceremony.
However, as a daughter, Luo Quan did not allow her mother's wedding to be so simple. Even if it could not turn into a wedding that shocked the world, it must be included in the history of music in various countries in the future!
Luo Quan booked her flight for noon the next day, and that night she recorded several songs overnight to be played at the wedding.
The next day, Luo Quan and Wen Xia left the crew who had just started filming and went directly to the airport.
Of course, as a director, Luo Quan doesn't just walk away.
Before leaving, I told the assistant director that the plot involving the two of her would be temporarily stopped, and the scenes of the heroine and others would be shot first, and the rest would be discussed after she comes back.
These are actually common operations on the set, and it does not mean that the film cannot be filmed without one actor.
However, without the director, it was indeed a bit troublesome. Although Luo Quan had already told the assistant director how to shoot, there was still a big gap between her and her own operation. After returning, it was certain that many scenes would need to be reshot.
But these don't matter to Luo Quan. Anyway, the crew's employees are charged by the day, and the price she offers is the best in the country. Everyone is eager to work as a foreigner for a few more days.
After getting on the plane, Luo Quan calmed down a little and took some rest.
Before getting on the plane, she had already seen the news on Twitter, and the news about the wedding of the son of the chairman of Albert Company spread like wildfire.
Luo Quan guessed that his father had no idea of keeping a low profile. For such a big event like a wedding, such a big family would definitely want as many people to know about it, the better. It would be good to have more people know and give more blessings.
Of course, ordinary capitalists may not necessarily receive everyone's blessings, but the couple can be considered to have benefited from their daughter and received congratulations from fans and passers-by Aiwujiwu.
News received in China was a little slower, but the relevant news was still on the hot search list at noon, but the title was slightly changed: "Luo Quan's parents are going to hold a wedding!"
The comments quickly exceeded 10,000, but most fans said it was a false alarm:
"I was shocked. I misunderstood and thought Luo Quan was going to have a wedding."
"It's a happy event, congratulations to Luo Quan and her parents."
"I have always been a fan of Luoquan's parents. They are a very good-looking family, but it's a pity that they are not celebrities."
"Don't tell me, maybe this family will actually make a movie for you in the future."
"Isn't that the movie with the most beautiful actors in history. (Dog Head)"
"No need to add a dog head, this is the most beautiful part."
"By the way, where is Luo Quan now? I haven't seen her post in the news."
"If it's a private matter, there's no need to post everything."
"I guess I'm on the plane."
………………
Luo Quan was indeed on the plane and had already slept.
But because this trip is quite far, she should have just left the country now.
This time they had to fly from Jiangnan to Paris. Even if they didn't transfer on the way, it would take twelve hours to arrive. If they needed to transfer, it would take about twenty hours.
After arriving in Paris, we have to transfer to the high-speed train to Provence, which takes more than two hours.
It can be said that this journey is quite long. China is basically the farthest place among the guests invited this time. It needs to span the entire Eurasian continent. The United States is basically not far away after crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
It was precisely because of the long flight and high-speed train that Luo Quan sent his mother her dress size before getting on the plane so that she could start making bridesmaid dresses immediately.
In this wedding, she will be her mother's bridesmaid and walk into the church or monastery with her, and her second brother will also be her father's best man.
Generally speaking, this should be done by close friends of the bride and groom, but the couple unanimously chose to let their children do this, which is a clear understanding.
As for the specific implementation, the effect should be very good.
The two siblings would overshadow whoever they serve as best man and bridesmaid, but only their own father and mother would not. After all, the world is big, who else can be bigger than their parents?
Judging from the looks of this family of four, the wedding will definitely become a good story.
To be honest, this is the scene Luo Quan is most looking forward to right now. She has always wanted to experience what it is like to get married, but she has never had the chance.
Although this wedding is a Western-style wedding and not her favorite Chinese-style wedding, each has its own advantages and the ceremony just needs to be in place.
But this time she didn't wear a wedding dress as the main bride, but a bridesmaid dress as a bridesmaid.
"Luoluo, what do you think the wedding will be like when we get married in the future?" Wen Xia had been watching the video on her phone after getting on the plane.
Before she got on the plane, she downloaded several documentaries called weddings of the century from the Internet. There were weddings of world superstars, the weddings of the world's richest man, and weddings of royal nobles. They were all Western-style, and without exception, they were all luxurious. The grandeur is extreme, with the cost of each event starting at hundreds of millions of yuan.
Before this, Wen Xia had never thought about what her wedding would be like. Like her friend Luo Quan, she had still met a boy who could make her heart beat.
But unlike Luo Quan, she has no need in this regard at all. Wen Xia simply has no good goals.
Like most girls, she also longs for love and a wedding, but she has been busy with her career these years and doesn't have much imagination in this regard.
Now that she suddenly met her friend's mother for a wedding, Wen Xia couldn't help but let her thoughts start to wander on the plane.
To put it in layman's terms, this girl is a little attracted to her, but the comedy is that she can't find the one she's attracted to.
“The ultimate Western-style wedding is what you see on your mobile phone. No matter how grand it is, it won’t be that big. However, you can make some innovations in the details, such as the groom descending from the sky in a helicopter, or the bride and groom having a wedding in the sea and diving. .”
"That's a good idea!" Wen Xia has always liked diving, and her eyes suddenly lit up when she heard her friend's suggestion.
"But you have to find shallower and clearer water." Wen Xia added, "By the way, what do you want the wedding to be like?"
"Me?" Luo Quan put his green and white jade-like fingers on his pretty chin and thought carefully: "The idea in my mind about this before was probably that I would recite the oath in front of the priest in the church, that is, if you are willing I would like that.
But there are too many weddings like this now. Following the crowd is not my style. Besides, as you know, I am a very traditional person. "
"Are you talking about doing what our ancestors did?" Wen Xia's mind immediately recalled the uniform bright red wedding clothes of the bride and groom in costume movies and TV dramas. The bride wore a red hijab on her head, and the groom wore a black one. In a high hat, a matchmaker with a loud voice next to her shouted: "Bow the heaven and the earth, and the second bow to the high hall."
She didn't know why, but this originally serious scene made her feel quite happy.
However, it would be so beautiful if Luoluo could wear a gorgeous phoenix crown, apply bright red rouge, point crimson, and koudan, and draw smokey eyebrows.
Just thinking about that scene, Wen Xia felt goosebumps all over her body. The picture was so beautiful that she dared not look at it.
"Don't think it's boring just because you've seen too many of your ancestors' weddings. A serious Chinese wedding ceremony is no smaller than a Western one. Even the ten-mile red makeup is just a small scene. In today's society, you don't have to be afraid of going beyond the rules. Just press the button The standards for the marriage of ancient emperors are not bad." Luo Quan said, opening the video on his phone and showing it to Wen Xia.
Like his friends, Luo Quan also downloaded some wedding videos, but they were all Chinese-style. The procedures were complicated and the scenes were beautiful, no less Western-style, and more in line with Chinese aesthetics.
It's just that a serious Chinese wedding is actually more expensive than an ordinary ceremony wedding, so nowadays there are really not many ordinary people who use the etiquette passed down by their ancestors, and most wealthy people, in order to show their style, Western style was also chosen.
Luo Quan didn't mean to criticize anything, after all, individuals have their own preferences and choices.
And her choice was a Chinese-style wedding.
"It's indeed beautiful." Wen Xia looked at it for a while and said sincerely. Some changes occurred in her heart, and she suddenly felt that a Chinese wedding would be a very good choice.
Of course, whether it is Western or Chinese style, it is still too early for these two girls who have just turned 20.
