On the third day of filming, Leon's scene was basically over. After taking photos with everyone, he flew back to New York.
As a result, Mia came to visit with gifts as soon as Leon arrived home. She had a good chat with Eric Luo Ni and his wife, and managed to capture the husband's parents without any effort.
As for Lyon, he has not made a clear statement. Luo Quan has also asked Lyon about his views on Mia before.
Leon just said that they could be friends, but he would have to talk about the rest later. He still felt that being single was more free, and falling in love too early would be equivalent to putting a constraint on his life.
There is no doubt that Leon is an unruly man, but one thing that is better than his father is that Leon never harms girls.
Of course, although subjectively he does not harm girls, his existence is very destructive to girls. The same is true for his sister Luo Quan.
After a week of smooth filming, the crew's good progress had to be paused.
The reason is that many staff members on the crew went to protest.
Protest marches are a culture in the United States, or rather throughout the West.
"Freedom" is the first element in the Western capitalist worldview, and it is also the most popular governing slogan.
There is a poem written like this.
"Life is precious, but love is even more valuable. If it's for freedom, you can throw away both."
In the eyes of Westerners, this is not a joke, but a true willingness to implement this creed from beginning to end.
The yearning for freedom has long been ingrained in people's hearts, and its specific manifestation is probably that they have freedom of speech and freedom of behavior. In summary, freedom without prohibition by law means freedom.
So whenever something goes wrong, people will contact each other to organize a protest march to express their demands to the government and let people hear the voices of their own groups.
Normally, parades are held on weekends so as not to affect normal work.
But if the matter is more serious, they won't care about weekends or not, and just put on clothes with logos and go out to rallies and parades.
The reason for the Luoquan crew's protest this time was to protest against all film and television producers under the organization of the film union. The demands were for higher wages and unwritten rules on the set.
In the film industry, producers and directors have considerable power and can almost decide whether or not most people on the crew will stay or leave. Therefore, when implementing unspoken rules on the set, these two positions are the most profitable, and this parade These two groups are also targeted.
Of course, this phenomenon definitely does not exist in Luo Quan's crew. Her salary is at the highest level in the industry, and her treatment is very good. There are no complaints from top to bottom on the crew.
As for the unspoken rules, if Luo Quan is really such a person, it is estimated that most of the men on the crew would like to be this lucky person.
The reason why this parade will affect her crew is mainly because she is recruiting top elites in the industry, all of whom have rich experience in film shooting and production.
These people have been in the industry for a long time and have high qualifications. What the parade lacks is this kind of leader.
So when there is a demonstration, they have to take to the streets to speak out, and those who really can't leave have to send tweets to express their support.
For the quality of the film, Luo Quan hired the best photographers, lighting artists, makeup artists, etc., but the film union also wanted these people by name.
In the United States, trade unions have considerable power and sometimes even dare to confront the government.
Luo Quan, a small crew, would definitely not be able to twist his thighs with his arms. Even though the filming was getting better, they could only let people go on parade.
With nothing to do, Luo Quan checked the news in the hotel. The New York Times reported that the film union had led a large group of people to the streets of New York. The noise was quite loud, and many foreign media were reporting on it.
At the same time, a large number of celebrities in the American entertainment industry have also been coerced to come out to support the show, including many singers. After all, singers also need these people to shoot music videos.
As a foreigner, Luo Quan didn't understand the situation here and was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he didn't take the initiative to speak up and just watched quietly.
However, judging from the demands of the marchers, they should be the right party. It is human nature to beat workers and demand a raise, and it is very reasonable and necessary to correct the unspoken rules on the set.
The most important point is that these people took to the streets just to protest and did not do any other unnecessary things. They were organized and disciplined.
Unlike some groups, they not only clashed with the police, but also engaged in zero-dollar purchases from time to time, so that the word "parade" became a bit bad.
While disputes continue on the American Internet, China's entertainment industry is not at peace either.
After experiencing the frequent collapse of celebrities' personalities and illegal crimes, the government finally decided to strike hard, blocking what should be blocked and rectifying what should be rectified.
In addition, fan circles, idols, and games are also within the scope of heavy hit.
Minors cried, and adults cried a lot.
For example, Wen Xia directly called Luo Quan to complain after the policy came out.
Starting from the beginning of September, idol talent show variety shows will no longer be allowed to be broadcast across the country, and minors will no longer be allowed to work as idols.
This means that China’s idol group, which had just started to take off, crashed in an instant.
The success of the Penguin Idol Draft for two consecutive years has created a huge idol ecological chain in China. Many children have the dream of becoming idols. Seeing that Wen Xia’s dream is about to come true, he did not expect to meet such a person. thing.
"Originally, I thought I could lead the Chinese idol industry to surpass South Korea, but..." Wen Xia was on the phone while drinking pineapple beer.
Bitter wine enters the throat and causes pain in the heart. If the wine is not intoxicating, everyone will become intoxicated.
"There's nothing I can do about it. I've been affected, so I have to admit that I'm unlucky." Luo Quan comforted Wen Xia softly, feeling helpless in his heart.
Penguin this time, it can be said that it was completely affected by the low-quality idol selection of other video apps. It was obvious that the two variety shows selected high-quality groups, and the boy group did not rely on girls to attract fans, but they still suffered in the end. , there is nothing we can do.
"At least your girlhood was successful. Now you are truly the number one girl group in the world, and there is an insurmountable gap between you and the following ones."
"Your contribution is the greatest." Wen Xia said softly.
Luo Quan smiled and said: "The ten of us have contributed the most. Without one of us, we would not be able to achieve today's success."
"It doesn't matter. The women's team has reached its peak, and my dream has been fulfilled. Leading the Chinese women's team to the world is no longer possible under the current situation. I have to change my dream."
Wen Xia has never been a person who likes to feel sorry for himself. After chatting with Luo Quan for a few words, his depressed mood suddenly became clear.
"You majored in acting. I suggest you study your acting skills carefully. You will definitely have a place as a Chinese-language movie queen in the future." Luo Quan said confidently.
It's impossible to make a living in a girl group for a lifetime, not to mention the current environment, where transformation is a matter of time.
As far as Wen Xia's conditions are concerned, the transformation actor is definitely very suitable. Her image is dignified and majestic, which is very suitable for playing a woman in a drama. She has a strong aura and can hold people down.
"Then I'll lend you some good advice." After the phone call, Wen Xia felt much better.
Once a childhood dream is shattered, and in such a way, it will be difficult for most people to accept it in a short period of time.
Fortunately, Wen Xia has a good friend who can complain and help her solve her problems.
As for Luoquan, it has not been affected too much by these policies.
It is said that there will be restrictions on artists' high salaries in the future, but she doesn't care. Anyway, the vast majority of her income comes from movie box office and record sales. These are products where you get what you pay for. No matter how much restrictions are imposed, this will not be limited. Come up.
"The crew went on parade."
Luo Quan, who had nothing to do, started the live broadcast, ready to see the fans he hadn't seen for a while. .
"That's strange. Aren't you supposed to be filming a movie at the moment? Why do you have time to do a live broadcast?"
"Didn't you read the title? All the crew members went to the parade."
"There is news on the Observer website that traditional Western arts belong to the category."
"It's been so miserable these days. We're not allowed to play games. Fortunately, we can see Luo Quan. Otherwise, I don't know how I would have lived."
……………………
"At this age, you should study hard and read more. No one will care what you want to do when you go to college." Luo Quan, as the soul guide of fans, said the same thing as their parents and class teacher.
"Master, stop reading, my head is already hurting!"
"I am directly suffering from PTSD. A senior high school student said that at least five people said such things yesterday at the beginning of school."
"What a college student is saying is totally bullshit. If you dare to play casually in a more strict university, you will be expelled in one academic year!"
"Indeed, if you miss more classes, counselors will have to come to your door. Moreover, the signal quality of many universities is very poor, and the Internet is disconnected at night."
"Why does it sound more dire than high school?"
"Haha, I still haven't experienced the beatings from society. You won't know how happy it is to be a student until you graduate."
………………
As we chatted, the barrage became a place for exchanging life experiences, and Luo Quan was beside him and couldn't get a word in at all.
She herself has not understood much in her two lifetimes, so she had better not speak out on important matters in life, lest someone actually uses her words as a bible, which would make everyone laugh.
After talking about life, fans talked about some of the most important things.
For young people in the live broadcast room, the importance of gaming topics is still quite high, so someone asked whether this policy would have an impact on the development of "Final Fantasy".
Luo Quan immediately shook his head: "Of course not. "Final Fantasy" is not on the shelves in China, and you don't even need to apply for a version number. What impact will it have?"
Generally, if a domestic game wants to be sold in China, the first thing to do is to apply for a version number. It will never be put on the shelves until the version number is issued.
In the past, because the review was relatively strict, very few version numbers were released, and a large number of games were waiting in line for the lottery. Although it has been relaxed a bit now, there are still many companies and works queuing up.
Luo Quan simply didn't bother to wait, and directly prepared to put it on the shelves on STEAM. The review here was very loose, and butter was sold. It was called a paradise for games.
In the past, there were few STEAM players, but now China is one of the countries with the largest number of STEAM players in the world. The popularity and sales of domestic games on STEAM are not a problem.
No matter how bad the quality is, there will be many domestic game players to support it at the beginning of the release. However, because there are too many cheats of reskinned and inferior games, current players are much more cautious about supporting domestically produced games.
"Speaking of it being on Steam, the content should be a bit more exciting, right?"
"Everyone knows, LSP is the primary productive force."
"If that's really the case, I'll buy it!"
……………………
"Haha, I won't talk about that." When Luo Quan was live broadcasting, he would definitely not dare to blatantly respond to such a request, even if he really wanted GHS.
However, although the characters in "Final Fantasy" are very beautiful and sexy, it is not a GAL game, so don't even think about the 18-plus content.
However, there is nothing wrong with playing a few side shots.
"How much are you planning to set the price for?"
In the barrage, fans soon asked this question that everyone is very concerned about.
A must-buy for less than 1,000 is a saying for rich people. Most people don’t have such a large financial resources to buy a game, even if it is to support domestic production.
"China is a low-price area, so the price is 3...59." Luo Quan thought about it again and again, and came up with a very affordable price.
According to the original price of this game in the previous life, 359 RMB was a 30% discount.
If it is in Japan, it will be sold for 10,000 yen, which is equivalent to more than 600 yuan. The price Luo Quan set in China is equivalent to cutting it in half.
Even so, she was still a little timid when she said it, but she felt that the price was a bit high.
as expected. As soon as the price of 359 came out, there was an "outrageous" barrage in the live broadcast room.
"Excuse me, 359 is enough for one-third of my monthly meal."
"159 is acceptable, but 359 is really unbearable."
"It's not that I don't want to support domestic production, it's just that the price..."
"Actually, it's not too expensive. There are many foreign large-scale stand-alone machines that are more expensive than this."
"But your quality must be comparable to other big manufacturers."
"Actually, the first game is priced at 199, which is pretty much it. 359 is really high."
……………………
Looking at these barrage, Luo Quan smiled: "Believe me, when the game comes out, 359 will definitely be a very worthwhile price."
The price is set at 159? That's not called a game, that's called charity!
Luo Quan thought this in his heart.
It can only be said that everyone has different consumption concepts, but the price of 359 is really cheap, which means that China is a low-price area. If China and Japan set the same price, then the live broadcast room may not question her, but He started scolding directly.
However, she has no doubt about the quality of "Final Fantasy". For players who love games, 359 is definitely worth the money!
