"Sister, do you think I'm doing well?"
In the private gym on the second floor of the mansion, Leon was doing hard jerks under the watchful eyes of Mia and Luo Quan.
It's been half a year since I started working out consciously. Although I haven't achieved the effect of having muscles as big as bricks like those in WWE, I can still see my chest and abdominal muscles.
At first, he still needed to exercise under the guidance of a coach, but now he can train alone, and the amount of training is gradually increasing.
Of course, today he just wanted to show off, so he lifted far more than usual. After a few lifts, he felt a little sore. In order to avoid injury, Leon carefully lowered the barbell and left the fitness bench.
"It's almost the same size, but the abdominal muscles need to be more obvious." Luo Quan commented on his brother like he was looking at pork belly in the supermarket.
"By the way, you still have less than a month, so hurry up and eat as little barbecue, fried chicken and the like as you can." Luo Quan said, sitting on another chair, adding and Same weight as Lyon.
Leon was doing this for fitness, and she was just out of curiosity.
Girls generally don't need such a large amount of exercise to keep fit. Yoga, rope skipping, etc. are pretty much it. For girls, a good figure and muscles are sometimes completely opposite.
Of course, judging from the emerging concept of beauty, it is quite good for girls to have waistcoat lines, but there is no need to use barbells to practice.
In Luo Quan's hands, the barbell began to rise and fall very lightly.
Leon looked at his sister looking so relaxed and looked at the barbell next to him suspiciously.
Is this strength serious?
"By the way, Luo Quan, Leon doesn't have to look ugly this time, right?" Mia sat next to her boyfriend and hugged his arm.
She knew that her boyfriend wanted to win the Oscar, but she also knew that the Oscar judges did not like handsome guys, especially young handsome guys.
So if he wants to win an award, in addition to slowly gaining qualifications, he also has to act ugly.
If you want to act like an idol and get a Best Actor nomination based on the success of "Titanic", that's your limit.
This time, the movie that my sister asked Leon to star in was said to be no worse than "Titanic". It was a very powerful film, so Mia was also very concerned about this aspect.
"That's definitely not necessary. The role Leon is going to play can be seen as the embodiment of the American dream. Of course, the more handsome the better." Luo Quan put down the barbell and answered seriously.
"Can I also be the embodiment of the American dream?" Leon laughed, "I always thought I was the embodiment of the American girl's dream."
"What are you talking about!" Mia patted Leon, knowing that he usually had a loud mouth and spoke freely, but at least he had to pay attention to control it.
It's okay to tell your family in private, since no one will spread the news.
But if outsiders are around and you say something bad, you'll be in big trouble.
Just in time for the anti-fans in Lyon to reach their peak, even a small problem will be infinitely magnified.
"Haha, I understand, I won't do this again." After being scolded by his girlfriend, Leon immediately admitted his mistake and corrected it.
I'm usually very naughty, but I didn't expect to become so docile after falling in love. Do people really change?
After staying in the gym for an hour, Luo Quan walked out without even breaking a drop of sweat.
She had contacted Karan just now and said that she needed his help in preparing the shooting location.
Because the story tells the modern history of the United States, many political landmarks definitely need to be photographed.
But her identity is quite sensitive, so she might not be able to shoot directly, so she asked Karan to make arrangements in advance.
Although I don’t know what Karan’s identity is, seeing that his name is both Kennedy and Roosevelt, I know that he must have two tricks in the political world.
The result was not beyond her expectation. She was allowed to enter some sensitive places for filming this time, but the number of people could not be too large and the time could not be too long.
Another point is that this movie cannot contain private goods.
As an internationally renowned director, the United States has quite conflicting feelings about Luo Quan coming to film the modern history of the United States.
On the one hand, I am looking forward to seeing what she can capture about that magnificent period of history.
On the other hand, I am also a little worried, worried that she will get in some private goods and slander the United States in front of people all over the world.
The reason for this concern is that this is what they do in the cultural war. When they use themselves to save others, they are naturally afraid that Luo Quan will retaliate against others.
After Luo Quan heard the instructions conveyed by Karan, he just laughed.
She's not so unstructured, she just needs to reproduce what the movie is like.
I won't hide the bad parts, and I won't cover up the good parts either. I'll just shoot it as it should be, and at most I'll do some innocuous artistic processing.
As for bringing in private goods, she didn't even bother to do such a thing to ruin her reputation and status.
Besides, this method of revenge, which is like playing house with a child, has no real use.
After receiving the instructions, Luo Quan posted a promotional poster for "Forrest Gump" on Twitter.
In the photo, there is a tall figure wearing the uniform of a US military non-commissioned officer from the last century, saluting towards a pool.
The protagonist is a soldier, so the tone of the movie is set, and it probably won't be too lighthearted.
Below the poster, there is a string of words like this:
What is the American Dream?
This is a question that I hope people will discuss among themselves before the movie is broadcast.
There is no doubt that people today no longer think the same thing as people a few decades ago, and their dreams are no longer the same thing.
A few decades ago, many low-income workers could own two-story Western-style houses, and have many holidays and financial resources to travel abroad every year.
As for now, I'm afraid we can no longer see such cool and unrestrained people at the bottom.
Even after the American Dream was brought up, it was considered to be a relatively acute and controversial issue with bad intentions, and many people criticized it for this reason.
This shows how far social conflicts have developed.
In fact, Luo Quan sang about the current situation in the United States with "This Is America" a long time ago, which also caused a huge sensation.
But it was just a sensation. After singing, everything remained the same.
But now, everything is just accumulation, lacking a real trigger.
Of course, for now, things are relatively peaceful, so "Forrest Gump" starring Leon is still quite anticipated by netizens.
The only pity is that Luo Quan is only the director and will not appear in this movie.
Originally, everyone thought that Luo Quan and his brother would have some rivalry scenes this time, but they still missed it.
It is worth mentioning that this time the heroine is played by Carillian.
Not long after the two collaborated on "Titanic", they played the male and female protagonists in the movie again. Isn't this providing material to the CP party?
At the same time, the two people working together again raises a question, that is, will Mia be jealous?
After falling in love, Leon and Mia didn't do much to cover up when they went shopping. The paparazzi often photographed the two of them being intimate on the street.
Not long after, netizens with powerful skills also found out Mia's identity. She was the granddaughter of the stock god. The two of them were both talented and good-looking. They were well matched and it was no one else's turn to object.
But would a young lady from such a famous family really not be jealous when she sees her boyfriend in love acting as a couple with other beauties?
Netizens obviously didn't believe it. Many female fans even happily thought that the movie was a foreshadowing of the two's breakup and applauded it.
The previous passionate scene between Leon and Carillian was criticized by many Leon fans, who were so jealous that their eyes were spitting fire.
Now, these fans just hope that Luo Quan will make the scenes between these two as big as possible. As long as they can make the original partner angry, everything will be fine, so that Lyon can belong to them again.
This kind of thinking can be said to be quite dark and selfish. There are many tauren in this world, but it is really rare to see someone like this who is so awesome.
"Tell me, are you jealous?"
On the sofa in the living room, Leon read these comments from fans to Mia.
Mia shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "What am I so jealous about? They can't even imagine my happiness."
This means that Mia has already logged out of her social account, otherwise she will post a taunting post now to show her sovereignty over Lyon.
There is a saying that a man is like a kite. As long as he holds the string in his hand, no matter how high he flies, he will never escape.
The current situation is that the string of Leon's kite is firmly held in Mia's hand, and it is very sticky and cannot be shaken off.
Faced with these dissension on the Internet, Mia certainly will not be fooled.
It's not bad, but it's good. After all, "Forrest Gump" is not mainly about love like "Titanic", so there won't be too many kissing scenes and sex scenes for the male and female protagonists.
Leon told Mia about this at the beginning.
As an actor, there are some things he cannot avoid.
Mia was also quite generous and said she could accept it.
After all, the United States is a little more open-minded in this regard.
And Luo Quan didn't intend to add any difficulty to his brother's love. He borrowed the kissing scene if he could, and the sex scene was a little duller, with more stream of consciousness. Anyway, as long as the intention was achieved, it would be enough.
Of course, it is not ruled out that after the filming is completed, Luo Quan feels dissatisfied with the finished film and asks them to reshoot it.
With different shooting methods and scales, the final appearance of the movie is also different, so everything has to be watched after filming.
In the evening, Luo Quan’s Twitter was trending in China.
Now everyone knows that she is going to film American Dream. Needless to say, from the name, you can tell that it is something more positive.
It's also about the changes of the times. Why is "Farewell My Concubine" so heavy?
Regarding such questions with ulterior motives, Luo Quan answered directly: "Because I respect history."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately silenced.
Luo Quan started a live broadcast in the evening, and there were quite a few check-in barrages in the live broadcast room.
Of course, this is not a check-in that says "I don't have L in March or I don't have L in April", but a record of fans practicing martial arts.
After being told by Luo Quan last time, many fans made up their minds and prepared to use martial arts to temper their will and body.
Most people are afraid of hardship, but there are also a few people who are willing to be cruel and want to practice the Bajiquan taught by Luo Quan.
Of course, Luo Quan was very happy that someone was willing to learn. At the suggestion of the barrage, she once again live broadcasted to demonstrate to everyone what blowing is.
When they saw her humming into the microphone, the fans felt as if someone was beating a drum hard in their ears, and the sound was terrifyingly loud.
As a world-class soprano singer like Luo Quan, who also has the aura of an iron lung, there is no need to elaborate on how loud his voice can be.
And the humming produced by the special technique was as dull as a hammer, and even through the screen it felt like a hammer had been hammered on the chest.
The feeling is similar to listening to the powerful DJ music in a bar. The pulse of your heart no longer belongs to you, but to the rhythm of the music.
When Luo Quan hummed, everyone felt as if their hearts had skipped a beat.
"Can you withstand this sound, twenty years of skill?" After Luo Quan finished the demonstration, he looked at the barrage of earphones exploding all over the screen, and asked proudly.
"It's true that I can't bear it, but it would be nice if I screamed a little gentler."
"I'll go, this is martial arts, don't drive just because you disagree."
"In addition to blowing the air, I still want to see the analysis of the heart elbow movement. I feel that this move is really practical."
"It's really practical. I imitated it to my roommate yesterday and almost pushed him into the ICU."
"Damn it, you young people are so brave. Do you dare to imitate them even if you are so stubborn?"
"It's a good thing you didn't practice to the extreme. Otherwise, after this moment, my roommate would not have been admitted to the ICU, but would have been sent directly to the morgue."
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Nonsense, the elbow is one of the hardest parts of a human being. It will hurt no matter where you push someone, let alone the heart, which is a fatal part!"
…………
Seeing the discussion in such detail on the barrage, Luo Quan also nodded in agreement: "So remember, everyone must not use any of the techniques learned from my live broadcast room on the people around you in the name of experiment.
No matter if the technique is not appropriate, if there is even a slight mistake, it will cause big problems or even human lives.
Especially Bajiquan, this boxing technique is said to be sure to hurt someone if it is used. Even I don't know how to use it unless it is absolutely necessary. "
"It can be seen how anxious those gangsters were on Luo Quan that day. He used the Bajiquan and Xinyi skills without stopping. It was simply too violent."
In the barrage, a fan made a joke.
