Chapter 558 Materialist Iron Fist
"It's okay, dad, it's just a business deal. I'm asked to make a movie, and the pay is quite generous. I can't avoid it, right?
Okay, I get it, don't worry. "
After explaining, Luo Quan finally ended the phone call with his father.
The matter between her and Karan was spread by the media, and half of the United States was upset. As soon as her father knew about it, he called over to ask about the specific situation.
Female celebrities who have anything to do with politics usually don't end well. A certain legendary sex goddess of the last century is the best example. Eric was also afraid that his daughter would have any special ideas, so he called to remind her.
As everyone knows, Luo Quan doesn't have any extra emotions towards Karan. In fact, she can treat most boys equally.
The only boy who can make her particularly excited is Huang Songtao. It is said that he has been sentenced to life imprisonment. If nothing happens, the next time they meet again will probably be decades later.
"Director, another group of reporters are coming outside and want to interview you." Just as he was dealing with his father, the security guard came in again.
In the past few days, reporters' interest in interviewing Luo Quan has been extremely high, and they are trying their best to enter the set every day. Fortunately, the security personnel hired by Luo Quan are very professional and have been loyal to their duties, so these people did not succeed.
Hearing that these people were determined to come again, Luo Quan sighed, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the set.
Originally, she didn't want to pay attention to these reporters, but it seemed that if she kept coming forward, these people would not give up for a day.
Anyway, they will have to face it sooner or later, so it is better to get rid of these people as soon as possible.
"Luo Quan is out!"
Soon, the reporters outside the set saw Luo Quan walking out and shouted excitedly.
"If you have any questions, please ask them one by one." Luo Quan calmed down his impatient expression and forced a smile.
As for the media, as long as they don't touch her bottom line, she will still receive them politely even if they are annoying.
"Luo Quan, what do you think of the internet rumor that Karan and you have started a relationship?"
"Fake news!"
Luo Quan raised an index finger and said in a very serious tone: "I don't know how these people came to this conclusion.
But Karan and I have only met once, and the communication lasted no more than ten minutes, so I’m afraid it’s not possible to start a relationship.
Moreover, I have said countless times that emotional issues should not be considered before the age of thirty, and I can tell you clearly that until now I have not found the person who can make my heart beat.
I don’t know if I stated it clearly enough? "
This series of affirmative sentences made the reporters look at each other in surprise. They didn't expect Luo Quan to explain emotional matters so clearly.
However, this does not stop journalists from continuing to gossip.
"Can you talk about your impression of Karan?" a reporter asked.
"Elegant and easy-going." Luo Quan casually used an adjective.
"What do you think about netizens paying so much attention to your love rumors?"
"Many celebrities have encountered it. I definitely want to refute the rumors. Whether others believe it or not is beyond my control."
……………………
The interview lasted ten minutes. Luo Quan answered every question asked by reporters and completely denied a series of rumors currently circulating on the Internet.
It can be said that the media involved in this interview were quite formal. There were not too many edits when playing the interview video, which conveyed her meaning relatively completely.
After the clarification, there were a lot less rumors on the Internet, and the people's enthusiasm for eating melons suddenly dropped a lot.
On the other hand, Karan was also a little troubled.
Originally, he was thinking about how to get close to Luo Quan, but he didn't expect that Luo Quan's refusal in the media three times in a row deprived him of the opportunity to speak.
Everyone has made it so clear that he will not fall in love before he is thirty. If he tries to flirt with her now, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
If they were talking about work, but he knew nothing about movies, what could he talk to Luo Quan about?
This is a very contradictory point.
Karan has encountered many problems since he was a child, but this time the difficulty was so high that he didn't even know where to start.
"Love is more difficult than politics." Karan rummaged through information in the library at home, but did not find any constructive opinions and could only sigh in vain...
"It's harder to fall in love than to do business!" Seifert complained to Luo Quan while visiting the film studio.
"Don't you call yourself the Saint of Love? How can you be so difficult to deal with in love?" Luo Quan looked at the bitter-melon-colored Seiffert with a smile. From the look on his face, he probably had some trouble with Anne.
"You know, as a senior executive at Universal's headquarters, I am usually very busy at work and have very little time to rest every day. Except for sleeping and working, I basically spend all my time with Annie.
But even so, she felt that I didn't care about her enough, and we always broke up immediately after not being together for long. "
Seifert said and sighed again: "I didn't deliberately let her go. This is not a regular meeting of the company. I really can't get away from it."
After listening to Seifert's words, Luo Quan knew that he had encountered the same troubles as Andy, the heroine of "The Queen Wears Chanel", who was busy with work and neglected his lover.
And Seifert is the successor of the company appointed by his father. If she abandons her job because of falling in love, then Anne may not be recognized by Seifert's father.
This kind of problem, to describe it in a more neutral way, is that I can't hug you with a sword in my hand, and I can't protect you without a sword in my hand.
"I don't know why. We had a good relationship at the beginning, and I was very busy at that time, but she never had any similar complaints." Seifert said in a deep voice, feeling very puzzled in his heart.
"Annie is studying in school now, right?" Luo Quan asked.
Seifert nodded proudly: "Yes, Annie's grades are very good and she accumulates credits quickly. Graduating early is not a problem."
“I guess when you first started, it was because she was your secretary and she was always by your side when you were busy, so you wouldn’t feel lonely.
If you want to solve it, wouldn't it be settled if you let her be your secretary again and be with you every day? "Luo Quan proposed a somewhat taken-for-granted solution.
But sometimes, this approach sounds really reliable.
"That seems to be the case. I'll go back and try to see if it works." Seiffert refreshed himself. After being depressed for so long, he finally got a solution that might work.
"By the way, how is the filming of your movie going? How long does it take to wrap up?"
As the distributor of "Silence of the Lambs", Seifert came to Luo Quan this time. Complaining was secondary, and asking about the progress of the film was the main task.
"It's almost done. The most difficult part has almost been solved. Next, as long as we finish filming the hotel part, the scene is basically done." Luo Quan said with a relaxed expression.
For a movie like this with a lot of drama, the speed of progress depends on the actor's line skills and the director's level. In both areas, Luo Quan did his best to do his best, so the movie was not only shot quickly, but the quality was also not important. flaw.
"You said before that you would find a hotel for me to use for filming. Have you found it yet?" Luo Quan asked a more important matter.
In order to highlight the sense of age, the hotel Luo Quan was looking for was one with a relatively old-school decoration.
There are not many hotels like this in the United States now. Many hotels have been renovated and did not achieve the effect she wanted.
"Found it, but..." Seifert showed a wry smile.
"But what?" Luo Quan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the hotel director didn't want her to shoot a movie with such a scene?
"To be honest, this hotel has a bad reputation. It's very evil." Seifert lowered his voice as he spoke, deliberately creating a suspenseful atmosphere. "I wonder if you know about the Saichi Hotel?"
"Saixi Hotel?" Luo Quan didn't have any special impression in his mind. He took out his mobile phone to check and was stunned.
This Saixi Hotel is a hotel from the last century and is very old.
This was originally a very ordinary luxury hotel, but since the 1950s, this hotel has gradually become famous.
If nothing else, it's mainly because people who stay at this hotel often encounter mishaps.
Many bizarre and horrific murders have occurred in this hotel, and most of them have not found the murderer to this day. In addition, according to some customers who stayed at this hotel, they sometimes encounter strange things during the day.
In short, this is a haunted hotel famous throughout the United States.
It is very famous, and there are many tourists who come here every day, and the decoration is also in line with Luoquan's requirements.
But Seifert wasn't sure if Luo Quan was willing to go to such an evil hotel.
"Because the scene you want to shoot is too bloody, many hotels are not willing to let you go. Only the Sethi Hotel agrees, and it is quite happy." Seifert looked a little dumbfounded, "But this hotel is indeed very ominous. , if we really don’t want to, we can spend more money to find other hotels.”
"An unknown hotel?" Luo Quan laughed when he heard this, "Seifert, do you know why there have been fewer and fewer sightings of water monsters, savages, UFOs, and monsters in recent years?"
"Why?" Seifert was puzzled.
Luo Quan took out his cell phone and raised it: "My cell phone can take pictures of every pimple on your face from a few hundred meters away.
With this kind of pixels, there will be no market for those pretentious imaging devices with mosaic quality.
In the same way, the so-called supernatural events are just rumors. I can be in awe, but I will never be afraid. "
"It seems to make sense." Seifert seemed to be unable to find a reason to refute after hearing Luo Quan's logic.
"Don't worry, I guess most of these cases are made up by this hotel to attract attention. If murders were really frequent, the police would have already started investigating the hotel owner." Luo Quan seemed very calm and said Don't worry about the so-called reputation of this hotel.
After the filming location was decided, Luo Quan took everyone to New York the next day.
The Sethi Hotel is located in the center of New York City, and its business is quite prosperous. However, the guests who come here are not serious guests, but are members of a group of paranormal associations or anchors from YouTube and Mouse Channel.
These people all know the name of the Sethi Hotel and the curiosity of today's people, so they are all willing to come to this hotel to explore its secrets.
However, every time the live broadcast was started, it was very serious, but even after staying up all night, I didn't notice anything unusual.
But even so, no one still questions the reputation of the Sethi Hotel. After all, this hotel has indeed had several major cases that shocked the country.
After the crew arrived, Luo Quan briefly negotiated with the hotel owner and explained the layout of the shooting scene.
The boss seemed to be a very kind old man with a white beard, and he welcomed Luo Quan's request to make a movie.
In fact, he has seen too many horror film crews, and people come to his place to shoot scenes every year.
There is a saying in the American horror film industry that a horror film would not be complete without filming at the Sethi Hotel.
Of course Luo Quan didn't know this. She came here purely for the movie effect. After all, the decoration of this hotel was very close to the effect she wanted in the movie.
After getting permission from the hotel owner, Luo Quan immediately arranged for workers to start building the scene.
The members of the crew did not show any special emotions towards this notorious hotel. They were more afraid of losing their jobs than mysterious things like the undead and ghosts. No money to make.
Thanks to the efforts of the workers, a birdcage-shaped prison was built. Luo Quan sat inside wearing a white prison uniform and took the opportunity to take a few photos.
Luo Quan picked out a few pictures and posted them on Bilibili's Twitter as breaking news from the movie's set.
Photos with this special theme are always very gimmicky, and fans started teasing them as soon as they were released.
"Luoquan prison play. (Funny)"
"Are the canaries in this birdcage afraid of?"
"It's good. I didn't expect Luo Quan to be so good."
"Is this the legendary ogre? Please lock me in too."
"She stole my heart."
………………
Compared with some of the photos he posted before, Luo Quan's expression in today's photo is much softer and no longer frightens fans.
And this kind of clothing and environment are indeed quite interesting and topical, so a bunch of LSPs are about to start again.
But they probably couldn't imagine what a tragic and shocking "body art picture" this person in this cage would create later.
The shooting in the birdcage was completed quickly. It took more than two hours to build such a cage, but the actual shooting time was less than half an hour, and the time cut into the movie was even shorter.
Next, it is time to set up the most shocking scene in the movie - "The Passion of the Lord."
Before Dr. Hannibal escaped from prison and ascended to heaven, he brutally killed the policeman guarding him and hung him in the air.
It looked like Jesus being crucified.
Luo Quan knew that this scene would become a world-famous painting that countless people will never forget after the movie is broadcast!
