Chapter 137 Time Is Running Out
On January 25, the crew of Wolf Warrior 2 finally completed all filming tasks in Africa before the Spring Festival. Everyone packed their luggage and boarded an early flight to the Beijing Airport.
When we got off the plane, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. Because the filming was not completed, director Wu Jin did not treat everyone to a meal.
After working in South Africa for more than four months, everyone was tired. Taking advantage of the Spring Festival, director Wu Jin arranged a seven-day holiday for the crew.
"Lolo!"
In the lobby of the Capital Airport, Wen Xiaqi rushed towards Luo Quan and held her in his arms. Junzi followed behind. Both of them came to pick up Luo Quan.
It was the eve of the Spring Festival, and there were a lot of people coming and going at the airport. Fortunately, both of them were wearing sunglasses and no one recognized them.
The three of them exchanged brief greetings and took a taxi to the mansion Wen Xia rented in the capital.
As the capital of China, capital is very expensive, and house prices have always been ridiculously high. With Wenxia's current financial resources, it is still difficult to buy a luxury house in a prosperous area, but it is very easy to rent one.
The mansion Wen Xia rents is located in Jiuding Mansion in Haidian District. It is one of the most luxurious residential areas in Beijing and is also the place with the most celebrities. The entire residential area adopts European classical design, and the community has supporting gyms, bars, and cinemas. Various entertainment facilities, hospitals, supermarkets, and restaurants are also readily available, and most daily needs can be completed without leaving home.
If you want to buy a house here with full payment, the starting price is 100 million yuan, but if you just rent it, it only costs 45,000 yuan a month. Although it is high, Wenxia can completely afford it.
Now her business in China has just started. When she appears on more programs in the future, she will be able to buy a house here sooner or later.
Wen Xia's room is on the sixth floor. This whole floor is her room. It is designed as a building within a building. The exact size is unclear, but Luo Quan looks like it should be a little smaller than her father's villa in Manhattan.
"Sit wherever you want." Wen Xia turned on the light and waved to Luo Quan, quite a bit like a hostess, "Have you eaten? Do you want me to order takeout?"
Luo Quan shook his head slightly: "I ate on the plane, so I'm not very hungry."
Wen Xia smiled and said: "I regret renting this house. With so many rooms, Junzi and I usually live there. At night, Junzi and I dare not go downstairs if we want to drink water, but I feel relieved when you come. too much."
Luo Quan looked suspicious: "Aren't you planning to wake me up and ask me to accompany you downstairs?"
Junko smiled sweetly: "You are so good at karate. With you here, we don't have to be afraid. No matter what gangsters you encounter, you can easily subdue them."
Luo Quan was speechless: "It sounds like I'm being violent."
After a few jokes, the three of them went back to their respective rooms.
I heard that Wen Xia's mother An Ran was coming from Yuzhou tomorrow to celebrate the New Year in the capital. Luo Quan had a very deep memory of this gentle and gentle aunt.
Luo Quan, Luo Ni, and Wen Xia actually have very similar personalities. They are usually carefree, and they are just as fickle as most Yuzhou girls.
An Ran, on the other hand, has a more stable personality and speaks softly, which is completely opposite to her daughter. It is estimated that her daughter inherited it from her father who has disappeared for a long time.
Speaking of which, although An Ran was usually soft and weak, she was many times stronger than Luo Ni when faced with a dead husband who abandoned his wife and daughter.
After so many years together, Luo Quan has almost never heard Aunt An Ran mention Wen Xia's father, so much so that she still doesn't know what Wen Xia's father's name is, only that his surname is Wen...
It can only be said that what everyone shows and what they think deep down are often different. Tenderness and strength, cheerfulness and vulnerability are never opposites.
After returning to the room, Luo Quan clicked on TC Candler's website and once again looked at the ranking of the top 100 most beautiful faces in the world with great anticipation.
second! Another step up!
The reason why I am so nervous is because five days ago, the TC Candler website announced that this year's top 100 most beautiful and handsome faces have entered the countdown for selection. There is still one week of voting time left. Just on the Spring Festival, the final rankings of the two lists will be made public.
Luo Quan had been firmly in the top three before, but within twelve hours after the news came out, the ranking dropped to ninth place, almost falling out of the top ten.
Luo Quan often said before that she didn't care at all about the ranking of the so-called most beautiful faces, but when her ranking really dropped, she started to panic again. As expected, the "law of true fragrance" is everywhere.
Seeing that the ranking dropped so quickly, Luo Quan quickly tweeted to call on fans to help her vote.
This is probably the first time Luo Quan has asked for fans. In the past, when she released so many albums, she just said "pay attention" and never asked them to buy them. But this time Luo Quan asked the fans to vote for her. His tone was anxious yet sincere.
Originally, Luo Quan thought it would take a few more days for this tweet to take effect, but something surprising happened to her.
Sakura Hoshino, everyone from Love Music, and Leon retweeted this tweet immediately, and called on their fans to vote for Luo Quan.
In Japan, many young people have also launched the "Vote for the Spring Goddess" campaign in various forums, calling on all people in Japan who like Luo Quan to vote for her.
There are no Internet walls in Japan. You can directly access this website, and it is very convenient to vote and so on.
With so much help, Luo Quan quickly overtook the car from ninth place and returned to the top three positions.
The reason why it didn't reach the first place is not because the fans didn't work hard. With Luoquan's popularity in Japan, with so many fans voting for three days in a row, it is not difficult to get the first place.
It’s just that the number one spot among the top 100 most beautiful and handsome faces in the world remains empty until the voting ends.
Mainly because this list is ranked by fans' votes. If the rankings were decided entirely by fans, it would not be able to convince the public. Therefore, the first place in these two lists has always been selected from these one hundred stars, and the judges will He is the editor-in-chief of TC Candler and analyzes from the most objective perspective.
To put it bluntly, it’s all about looks, regardless of popularity.
Therefore, second place is the limit that Luo Quan can achieve. Whether she can go further depends on the evaluation of her by the editors of TC Candler.
At present, there is no news about who is the most beautiful girl in the world. Many well-known foreign gambling websites have even opened handicap. Among them, the American female singer Aaliyah Grant, who is ranked third, has the lowest odds, which shows that the odds are the lowest. Most people think highly of her.
It's not that her appearance is truly invincible, but her identity is very powerful.
Black ancestry, homosexuality, anti-discrimination advocate, vegetarianism, these are all labels for Arya, one after another like stacking buffs, but generally speaking, her most important buff is her black ancestry.
If such a correct girl does not win the award in the end, it means that the editor-in-chief of TC Candler discriminated against her and wants to apologize to all black people.
At present, no brand or individual in this environment dares to openly discriminate against black people. Even in Eastern countries where there is no concept of racial discrimination, no one will do so. Most of them are ordinary netizens just talking about it.
In view of this, most people think that this time the most beautiful face in the world will probably be won by Aaliyah.
In fact, Aaliyah is also very beautiful. Without so many labels, she could have won the first place in the normal selection.
But if she does not win the first place, the TC Candler website may encounter bad public opinion attacks, so everyone already knows who should be ranked first in the world.
Luo Quan originally thought so too. When she learned that this year's competitor was a black girl, she never thought about taking first place.
Just bear with it and do it again next year. Anyway, she is only nineteen this year, and her appearance will only become more and more exquisite. Are she still afraid that others will not recognize her?
It's just that good things always happen when people are unprepared. Just after Luo Quan saw that he was ranked second and closed the website with satisfaction, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello, do you remember me? Luo Quan, I am Mark Frank, the editor of TC Candler who interviewed you last time."
Luo Quan's heart trembled: "It turns out to be editor Mark. I don't know why you called me..."
"After the selection of all TC Candler editors, you were elected the most beautiful face in the world in 2016!"
"Really!" Luo Quan covered her mouth in surprise. Just now she was wondering if a miracle would happen, but she didn't expect it to happen!
Mark smiled and said: "Of course it is true. Your beauty is well-known on the Internet. We would like to take an extra set of photos for you. Are you in Japan now?"
"No, I'm in the capital now."
Mark nodded: "Are you free now?"
"some!"
"Then we will immediately arrange for staff in Beijing to take some photos of you, and they will be included in the video of the top 100 most beautiful faces in the world in two days."
"Luo Quan said excitedly: I'll trouble you then... By the way, do I need to dress up to leave the country?"
"It's up to you. Whatever you think looks most beautiful, just wear whatever you like!"
"Okay, I'll go find some clothes right now." After hanging up the phone, Luo Quan jumped up and cheered, his joy beyond words.
He excitedly opened his suitcase and dumped his clothes on the bed, but he immediately ran into a problem.
Because it is summer in South Africa, the suitcases are full of summer clothes such as T-shirts. It was still snowing in Beijing just now. If you wear this when you go out to take pictures, won't you be frozen into popsicles? And these clothes are a little too casual.
But apart from these clothes, she only has a warm jacket given to her by the crew. What’s the point of wearing this clothes to take photos of the most beautiful face in the world?
"By the way, Wen Xia!" Luo Quan remembered that Wen Xia was a collector of limited-edition clothing and could borrow one from her!
Luo Quan hurriedly came to Wen Xia's room door with bare feet and knocked three times: "Wen Xia, are you asleep?"
"not yet!"
Luo Quan immediately opened the door and rushed in.
