Chapter 525: It’s a Mess Abroad
ps. The author does not mean to write urban pretentious articles. This is just to pave the way for the next works.
“‘The Queen Wears Chanel’ has entered the post-production stage and will be available to you soon. Stay tuned this late summer!”
Luo Quan fully exploits the advantage of being the only UP show with 20 million fans at Station B. He posts everything on Station B first, and then spreads it to the entire network through this platform.
With her current popularity, a selfie posted on Station B can be a hot search, not to mention the key information of a new work like this. It is not only a hot search on Station B, but also on Weibo and Zhihu.
Although the cast and crew list of Luo Quan in the movie shows that she is not the heroine, judging from the stills released so far, Luo Quan's appearance is domineering and aura is quite strong. It is estimated that Luo Quan will have a very eye-catching performance in the movie. She should Things are different in Lord of the Rings.
For fans, that's enough.
Although it is not a war movie or a science fiction movie, the gimmicks Luo Quan created for this movie are no less than those of other masterpieces.
Just the appearance of limited-edition clothing produced by several major manufacturers for decades is already a big deal, not to mention the "Luxury Car Auto Show" that broke out today. The luxurious feeling and visual impact are quite eye-catching.
As for the quality of the movie itself, with Luo Quan's name and past achievements here, it is basically unlikely that it will be a shoddy movie, so fans are basically planning to go to the movie and donate a movie ticket.
As for the pure passers-by, there was also a lot of interest, and they decided to make a decision after the trailer came out.
"I don't know how much box office I can get this time..." Luo Quan looked at the expectant words of fans in the comment area and estimated the results to be achieved.
Although the original author of the film is an American and is very different from China in some traditional concepts, there is still no problem in terms of right and wrong. Some places are slightly inconsistent, but it doesn't hurt.
Luo Quan has also deleted some unsightly plot points, which will basically not cause too much controversy.
Of course, this film itself can easily cause conflicting opinions on some values, and there will be little discussion after it is released. However, it can be regarded as a disguised promotion for the film, and the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
So Luo Quan finally estimated that the box office should exceed one billion.
For today's Chinese-language film market, one billion yuan is not much, but as her first Chinese-language film, the results are definitely quite good.
If she can successfully make a name for herself, then she will have works with quite good box office in China, Japan and the United States. This can be regarded as a unique achievement in today's film industry. It is very interesting to think about it.
After finishing his work, Luo Quan was about to wash up and go to bed when his cell phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Fred, so he pressed the answer button:
"It's so late, what's going on?"
"Ah? I was detained. How could this happen?"
"Okay, I'll come to the lobby right now!"
Not knowing what Fred said on the phone, Luo Quan frowned and quickly changed clothes and went to the hotel lobby.
When Fred saw Luo Quan in the hall, he immediately came over, followed by four bodyguards. Luo Quan had seen them once before during the battle at the Columbia University gate, but he had not seen their skills.
"What's going on? Everything was fine at noon, so why did something happen at night?" Luo Quan asked with a frown.
"Let's talk as we walk." Fred pointed to the car outside, and everyone got on it immediately.
It took ten minutes for Fred to tell Luo Quan what happened in the afternoon.
It turned out that Seifert was driving his newly acquired Bugatti Veyron on the road outside Los Angeles, and he happened to meet a group of rich second-generation people racing cars?
There were acquaintances of Seifert, both of them were car lovers, and there were also acquaintances, so it didn’t take long for them to become familiar with each other.
After driving for a while, one of the second-generation rich people invited Seifert to a party on an island in the sea. It was said to be a private island and very high-end. Not many people knew the location, but There are quite a lot of entertainment activities on the island, and there is nothing you can’t imagine. It’s just like paradise on earth.
Although Seifert is also a top second-generation rich man, he is usually busy with work and doesn't know much about this aspect. However, a friend he just met warmly invited him, and he couldn't refuse, so he went to the island.
As a result, after arriving on the island, Seifert was fine at first, but after drinking a few glasses of wine, Seifert felt something was wrong. He became dizzy and fell down soon after.
When he woke up, he found that he had been stripped naked and had photos taken, saying that he had sex after drinking and had done many bad things. The photos were full of evidence. If he didn't want to be exposed, he quickly asked someone to pay him to redeem him. .
Seifert had no choice but to call Leon and ask him to go to the island to rescue him.
However, Seifert also left a plan. After calling Leon, he called Fred. If Leon was also detained, Fred could find another way to help.
"Is this some new type of fraud?" Luo Quan looked incredulous after hearing the whole story, "Aren't these people so brave? They dare to kidnap the son of the president of Universal Corporation?!"
"The rich and powerful people or families in this world are more than just what they see on the outside, and these people hiding in the dark are more lawless than most people imagine." Fred said quietly, taking something out of his bag. He took out a cigar and acted like a boss who has seen through the truth in the world.
"You still smoke?" Luo Quan looked over. She hated tobacco and alcohol.
"Well... I don't smoke myself, but when I go out, I will always be handed cigarettes." Fred smiled awkwardly and quickly took it back.
Fortunately, he was a little quick-witted and used a common excuse in China.
I have never heard of people in foreign countries offering cigarettes...
Luo Quan murmured in his heart, but did not delve into it.
The car quickly drove to the California harbor, and a group of six people walked towards the group of yachts on the beach.
Each of the ten yachts was occupied by seven or eight big men in black suits. The middle of the yacht was covered with a layer of black cloth, and it was unknown what was hidden underneath.
"Are these all going to the island together?" Luo Quan looked at these menacing and strong men in front of him and felt that all of them were of extraordinary skill. This was not like going to the island to redeem people.
"After Leon came to the island just now, the other party offered a sky-high price. Leon didn't agree, so both of them were detained, so I brought some more people." Fred explained with a smile, "You know, My family is in the arms business, so it’s reasonable to hire more employees, right?”
It is also very reasonable to hide more than a dozen AKs in this boat! Luo Quan thought in his heart, looking at this posture, he is probably going to be on the news tomorrow.
"There was a gunfight on an island near California, and big star Luo Quan was also involved!"
If this happened, it would definitely be a big headline that would shock the world.
I just wish there wasn't such fierce firepower on the island, otherwise it would be really difficult for her to use her fists and kicks.
"Let's go!" Fred walked onto the boat and shouted to all his men. At the same time, he handed Luo Quan a bulletproof vest:
"Although it's unlikely that there will be a fight, I'd better put it on just in case."
The bulletproof vest was very good, but wearing it made Luo Quan even more unsure.
But Seifert and his younger brother were both on the island, so they had to brave the situation no matter how dangerous it was.
This island is not shown on the map, and Fred only found the location after locating Leon's cell phone.
The island is not big, so Fred and his men found a beach to log in.
"Just stay nearby. If I don't give you a signal, don't come out. Just be on guard." Fred was more cautious and assigned tasks to his men as soon as he got off the island.
Then, he led Luo Quan and four of his men straight to the location of the two brothers.
It was in a seaside villa with no guards. There was loud music and cheers in the hall, and it seemed like people were dancing in high spirits.
Luo Quan walked in immediately, followed closely by Fred.
Colorful atmosphere lights flashed in Luo Quan's eyes. More than twenty young men and women were swaying on the dance floor, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
In this mixed situation, it would be too troublesome to find someone.
So Luo Quan went directly to the DJ table, pushed the black DJ above him away, and then turned off all the music and atmosphere lights.
Immediately, there was silence, and the sudden incandescent light illuminated the astonished faces of the young men and women.
"Whoever is in charge here, please come out." Luo Quan took the microphone and said with a serious face.
Her best friend and younger brother have been detained until now. She is worried about their safety and feels nervous and anxious.
"Damn! Who are you!" A man looked at Luo Quan drunkenly. He didn't know whether he was too drunk or too far away, so he didn't recognize Luo Quan.
"I am the leader here." A voice came from the corridor on the second floor. The speaker was a young man with yellow hair. He was followed by a group of unruly young people, including Seifert and Leon. .
Seifert's face was livid, probably because he was threatened by taking photos. Although Leon also looked very angry, he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing his sister and Fred.
A group of people walked downstairs in a mighty manner. Huang Mao, the leader, looked very proud: "The big star is here in person. Our party is going to be so lively tonight."
"I don't remember that I have offended you, or have they offended you, or our parents?" Luo Quan wanted to find out the rights and wrongs of the matter first.
"There's no way I can offend you. I just happened to catch it. It's impossible not to eat the fat meat in your mouth. Now you have two choices in front of you, or take a hundred..." Huang Mao continued. Before he finished speaking, Luo Quan rushed up.
Her figure was like a swift leopard. She arrived at Huang Mao's side in the blink of an eye, kicked him over, and then stepped directly on his chest:
"We haven't offended you, so why are you looking for trouble?" Luo Quan looked at Huang Mao with cold eyes, as if he was stepping on an ant under his feet.
Hidden family? Bullshit hidden family!
If you really had the ability, you would have already made money by relying on Internet finance. Nowadays, it is not popular to make a fortune silently.
Moreover, she had asked her father about the Freemasonry before. The most powerful so-called hidden family at present is the Rothschild family.
And even this Rothschild is almost the same compared to Albert. Since other hidden families cannot come to the fore, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Of course, Luo Quan's greatest confidence in doing this was what he said after coming out of the court. As long as she didn't provoke the US government, he would be able to help her get out of trouble.
Can these people in front of me represent the US government? Obviously not.
After confirming that he was not at fault, Luo Quan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this person and took action directly.
Fred also didn't expect Luo Quan to be so tough. Before he could say anything harsh, Huang Mao was already kicked down.
"I will give you two choices now." Luo Quan squeezed the photo with his right hand and said, "Either hand over the photo, or you have to endure the pain before handing it over."
"Don't be harsh. My knife skills are so good that I can cut a ten-centimeter piece of pork into a hundred translucent slices. To put it more simply, I can cut you a hundred times, and in the end the injury can be identified and even... It doesn’t constitute a minor injury.”
Luo Quan spoke with a cold, emotionless light in his eyes.
Leon has seen this kind of light. When my sister was cooking and butchering chickens, she had the same look in her eyes. There was no pity or emotion.
"Go ahead, it's so cruel." Fred originally thought he was cruel enough, but he didn't expect Luo Quan, who looked so charming, to say such creepy words.
If he remembered correctly, this should be a kind of criminal law in China called Lingchi. It is an extremely painful and cruel criminal law. Simply put, it means cutting people into pieces with a thousand cuts, like sashimi.
Just thinking about this scene made Fred shudder.
As the saying goes, those who are ruthless are afraid of being ruthless, and those who are ruthless are afraid of death. Huang Mao is obviously not ruthless, he is just a young man with some background who wants to make money.
This matter was just a spur-of-the-moment move, with no thorough planning at all.
It's illegal for them to do this, but Luo Quan's current remarks are already a bit anti-human.
What's more, now that he has been stepped on, he has completely lost the initiative. Others and his companions are watching but dare not move.
Originally, he thought that having Seifert's photo in his hand would give Luo Quan the upper hand in negotiations.
But Luo Quan didn't listen to him at all. He didn't abide by the rules of the game and turned the table over.
This is completely different from what it looks like on TV!
Looking at Luo Quan's increasingly cold eyes, Huang Mao actually felt a hint of murderous intent.
Foreigners don't know what murderous intent is, but human intuition tells him that this woman looks like an angel, but her true face is a devil. If he doesn't obey, his end will be no different than that of a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. the difference.
"I...you...let go first, I can't breathe!" Huang Mao suddenly felt that his breathing was short of breath, and he began to cry anxiously.
Luo Quan snorted coldly and took his feet off his body.
