Chapter 244 Relatives and Friends (5)

Luo Quan took a quick look at the contract and found that there were no big problems.

The pay is a little less, but this is basically the same treatment for actresses all over the world.

Moreover, she is famous now, but her fame and appeal on the big screen are basically zero. The after-tax salary of 1.5 million US dollars is already high enough. After all, she did not have many scenes in the first film. .

It is worth mentioning that after discussions among the directors, screenwriters and producers of the "Lord of the Rings" crew, in addition to the Elf Princess, the role of the Elf Queen was also played by Luo Quan.

There is no other reason than that Luo Quan is too suitable to play this type of role. With her as the lead, it would be very inconsistent to let someone else play the same role as her.

In terms of appearance, Luo Quan can be said to be very good at it.

As for one person playing two roles, there isn't much of a problem. One character can wear no makeup, and the other can wear cool makeup. Luo Quan is completely different whether he wears makeup or not.

Besides, the Elf Queen is originally the Elf Princess’s grandmother, so it’s more in line with the setting if she looks a bit like her.

There are slightly more scenes, but the pay has not changed.

At least that's all Luo Quan has in the first film, but we can't rule out that it will increase in the second and third films.

In short, if "Lord of the Rings" becomes a hit at the box office, it will be very normal for the creator's net worth to skyrocket. Then her salary will probably go up.

This is an excellent springboard for her, and she will not hesitate to join even if it means zero pay.

Of course, although the crew was unlikely to trick her, Luo Quan did not rush to reply after reading the first version of the contract.

After experiencing Jiang Yoona's incident, she had to be more cautious when signing the contract, so she decided to make a decision after consulting professionals.

Being unfamiliar with the place, Luo Quan didn't know where to find a lawyer, so Luo Quan had no choice but to trouble Seifert and send him a message asking him to help.

Toolman Seifert was very generous and agreed.

The casting process for "The Lord of the Rings" has come to an end, and there are basically no big problems with the supporting roles in "Titanic". Director Carnason has to give him a contract.

After solving these two things, Luo Quan was in a good mood.

Humming a tune from my hometown, I went downstairs. The hall was already full of guests and friends.

At half past ten in the morning, Charles Albert's birthday party officially began.

Before this, the old man rarely held such banquets. He usually invited a few of his close friends to hold private parties, with at most six or seven people.

This time he invited a wide range of guests, from relatives and friends to business partners; celebrities to government officials, they were all invited.

Some of these people came with their families, and there were two to three hundred people in total, all of them brightly dressed and jeweled.

Luo Quan walked down in casual clothes, and then he remembered that he should wear formal clothes at this time.

But she didn’t bring an evening dress with her when she came to London this time, and she didn’t know if her mother had many.

Just at this time, Butler Barry passed by her, and Luo Quan quickly stopped him:

"Butler Barry!"

"What's the matter, Miss Luo Quan?"

"Do you have any formal clothes at home? I forgot to bring them this time."

"Yes." Butler Barry nodded with a smile and said, "Please follow me."

The two turned around and went up to the fourth floor, which was the floor closest to the top of the castle and was used as a storage room. Of course, it was not used to store sundries or food, but to store some collections of overall value.

As a long-established aristocrat, the old man, like most people, likes to collect paintings, sculptures and various rare objects by famous artists.

Of course, he is not an enthusiast in this area. He only collects what he likes.

As for the women's clothing in front of Luo Quan, it was not the old man's collection, but was prepared by Butler Barry.

The women of a large family often have to attend many formal occasions, and these clothes are needed at this time. Butler Barry also asked someone to prepare women's clothes in various sizes from 1.65 to 1.75 meters.

Of course, men's clothing is also available.

It's a pity that the clothes are ready. The old man's children never come back once a year, so these clothes have become decorations.

However, Barry Butler did not just let them sit idle. After a while, he would ask professionals to maintain the clothes in preparation for emergencies.

"The styles of the clothes are not the latest. If Miss Luo Quan is not satisfied, I can call someone to deliver them to you from outside."

"Haha, no need to go to such trouble." Luo Quan smiled and walked in, and Butler Barry closed the door gently.

Luo Quan didn't have difficulty choosing. He quickly selected a pure white lace evening dress among the clothes that exuded the fragrance of unknown flowers, and walked into the fitting room with it.

After changing it, she looked in the mirror and saw that it fit well and was not too loose, and it was not too revealing.

Then I randomly browsed a pair of white crystal high heels according to my foot size in the glass shoe cabinet next to the clothes rack.

At first glance, Luo Quan felt that his outfit looked just like a princess in a fairy tale.

Normally this would be quite strange, but fortunately she just saw that the female guests in the lobby were all wearing evening gowns and high heels.

Everyone is the same, so there is no need to be embarrassed about being hungry.

However, she wore too few high-heeled shoes. When she walked to the door, she staggered every step, and she was always worried about whether her feet would sprain later.

Grasping the door handle, Luo Quan felt relieved and opened the door.

Butler Barry, who had his back to the door, turned around. The mature and prudent man couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this time: "Your beauty is more amazing than all the princesses and ladies I have seen!"

Luo Quan laughed and said: "Haha, is there any? My friends say that she is usually very earthy, like a village girl."

It's okay if you don't speak, but you do look a bit like a village girl when you speak...

Butler Barry's heart stagnated, and he regretted: "If you had lived in the Albert family since you were a child, as a butler, I would definitely make you more aristocratic than any other young lady in the family!"

"It's indeed a little late to learn now, but as long as you talk less, it shouldn't be a big problem." Luo Quan also knows her own problem. Anyway, as long as she doesn't talk, she is a goddess.

"That's not the case." Butler Barry shook his head with a smile.

The two of them went downstairs. At this time, everyone in the family had changed their clothes and put on makeup and went to the courtyard.

The noon banquet was held in the courtyard, and the castle hall had to be decorated for the dinner, so the guests were invited outside after staying in the hall for a while.

Luo Quan came to the lively courtyard alone.

The banquet has already begun, and various appetizers and desserts are placed on the long table covered with white tablecloth.

Just like the scenes in Luo Quan's impression, all the champagne and red wine were arranged in a mountain shape, but it was not particularly high, with only three floors.

After experiencing the drunkenness last night, Luo Quan didn't want to look at any alcohol anymore.

Skipping the table filled with wine, Luo Quan went straight to the "children's area" where juice was placed next to it.

"Fred, look over there!" At the banquet, a blond man poked his friend next to him with his elbow.

"What are you looking at?" The young man named Fred just focused on the food in front of him and said with some lack of interest.

Both were blond and white. Fred's suit was obviously a bit too big. The trousers covered half of the back of his leather shoes. His sleeves were also rolled up. Those who didn't know thought he was stealing his father's suit. Wear it out.

Darian said excitedly: "I swear, that is definitely the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!"

Fred was helpless: "How many times have you said this to England?"

"Stop eating your little food, you'll know after you take a look!"

Fred had no choice but to take a bite of the steak in his hand and followed his friend's gaze.

In an instant, Fred seemed to be struck by lightning. His whole body froze on the spot. The steak in his hand slipped quietly, and the mouth he was chewing lost its momentum.

There were so many women in his sight, but he caught sight of that girl who was enough to eclipse them all.

At this moment, his mind was turning over and over again. All the adjectives about beauty that he had found in all the knowledge he had learned were so pale and weak to describe this girl.

What made his face turn pale was that the girl turned her head and looked at him.

Now, he had half a steak stuffed in his mouth, the corners of his mouth were still full of shiny fat, and his hands were wet.

The steak, which was so delicious just now, is completely tasteless now.

This should be the most embarrassing moment in his life. In the past, he didn't particularly care about his image and was unkempt.

But now, how he wishes his image could be as clean as his good friend's.

"Fred, that girl looked over, I think he must be attracted to me!" Darien became more and more excited, straightened his collar and tie, and walked forward.

On the way, I also picked up two glasses of red wine from a passing waiter.

Although his friend got the first step, Fred still followed him.

In the past, he didn't care much about his friends' behavior of chatting up girls, but this time, he secretly hoped that his friends would fail!

"Beautiful girl, I don't know why I always feel like I've seen you somewhere before." Darien started with this cliched pick-up line with a smile on his face.

"Have you heard of my song too?" Luo Quan knew this as soon as his eyes met with those two boys.

"Are you... a singer?" Darien was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting this.

After a pause, he suddenly said: "I think I have seen you before? You were in Time Magazine before, and your name is... Luo Dog?!"

When foreigners speak Chinese, they always like to use the third tone when pronouncing words.

Luo Quan's face darkened and he said, "That character is pronounced quán."

"Oh... I'm sorry, my Chinese is not very good." Darien used a smile to cover up his embarrassment. After being silent for a while, he quickly handed over the red wine in his hand: "Do you mind if I buy you a drink? Banquet The main meal is about to begin, so let’s treat it as an appetizer.”

These words seemed familiar to Luo Quan. Last night, his father also said to have a drink as an appetizer.

Then she did it, and everyone knows what happened next.

"Sorry, I can't drink wine, I can only drink juice." Luo Quan held up the orange juice in his hand and declined.

"Ah...this." Darien didn't know what went wrong. He felt that after a few words, the girl's first impression of him plummeted.

"I remembered!" Fred suddenly shouted from behind Darien, startling the two people beside him.

"You are the Luo Quan from China. You released an album before - "Love", right?!"

"Yes." Luo Quan nodded, "So have you heard of it?"

"Um...of course I've heard of it!" Darien quickly replied.

"Don't you like to listen to rap the most? Beautiful women with big gold chains and sexy cars?" Fred ruthlessly demolished the music.

Darian looked at his friend and instantly understood what he wanted to do.

"Haha, let me introduce you. This is my best friend Fred Ibigail. Please shake hands and get acquainted."

"Hello." Luo Quan was very polite and extended his hand.

Fred also wanted to reach out, but when he raised it, he remembered that his hand had grabbed the steak just now, and it was full of meat residue and oil.

Luo Quan was about to hold it when he saw the unknown liquid on Fred's hand and his expression was stunned.

Both of them were in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Fred reacted quickly and raised his other clean hand.

After shaking hands with difficulty, Luo Quan turned around and pulled out a few pieces of paper.

After thinking about it, she took a few more shots.

"Thank you!" Fred grabbed the tissue and quickly wiped it on his hands.

"And your mouth." Darien whispered.

What a shame! Fred showed all his ugly side in front of Luo Quan.

It doesn't get much more embarrassing than this.

At this moment, Seifert and Leon came over: "Wow, you changed your clothes, it's like you've become a different person!"

The five people met, and Darien was surprised when he saw Seifert: "It's you! Why are you here too!"

Seifert chuckled: "As you said, you can come but I can't?"

As a human spirit, he had already seen the three people here before coming here, and guessed what they were talking about through their expressions.

"Sister, dad was still looking for you just now." Leon said.

"Let me introduce, this is the grandson of Mr. Charles, the host of the banquet, and Luo Quan is his sister." Seifert's expression was natural, as if he was also the host.

"Hello." Leon shook hands with Fred and Darien.

After shaking his hand, Leon felt a little slippery. Did this man still use hand cream? I'm afraid he's not gay!

Darian asked: "So you are the granddaughter of Mr. Charles, then who is your father?"

"Eric Albert." Leon said helpfully.

"Ah, my father had met Mr. Eric a few times before in the United States, so our two families are quite related."

This is where the relationship begins.

Seifert smiled and said: "We have a lot of connections after meeting each other a few times. You are quite good at building relationships."

Darien's expression remained unchanged and he said, "I'm not fictitious. This is the truth."

The two looked at each other with sparks in their eyes, probably because they had had some unpleasant experiences before.
