Chapter 264 Preparations

The entire press conference lasted for more than an hour. At the end, the main creators held a simple opening ceremony together.

The first part of The Lord of the Rings, "The Fellowship of the Ring," is expected to be filmed for four months, with the remaining two months being spent on special effects, editing, and promotion.

In other words, it will not be released until next year at the earliest, and the production cycle of the three movies will be as long as three to four years.

Of course, for Luo Quan, it was only a short period of one or two months. Although she was literally the heroine, her role was not as much as that of the princess of the Kingdom of Rohan.

This princess has a lot of scenes with the male protagonist later on, and there are many scenes, and they are all quite outstanding.

It can only be said that her own image helped Luo Quan, but also restricted her.

Not only The Lord of the Rings, but also any future movie, as long as there is a vase-type character, Luo Quan will be the best choice.

As for other roles that require a test of acting skills, it may not be her turn.

After all, in the eyes of most people, appearance and acting skills are in an inverse relationship, and few people are exceptions.

Luo Quan herself knew this situation, but she would not force it.

On the one hand, her current acting skills are indeed not good enough to support a movie. On the other hand, there is nothing wrong with being a vase. It is easy to shoot and it is not easy to take the blame.

It's just that the pay is less, but compared to the fame she can get from appearing in the movie, these are trivial details.

After the press conference, Luo Quan took a taxi back home.

The crew did not charter a special plane because there were too many people, so the producers asked everyone to buy their own tickets to New Zealand and reimburse them at the same time.

On the day he arrived in the United States, Luo Quan went to the embassy to apply for a New Zealand passport.

My passport will come out tomorrow and I can leave for New Zealand in the evening.

The gathering place is set in Auckland, New Zealand's largest city. It is the commercial and industrial center of New Zealand. It is half land and half island. It is a very diverse water world.

After settling, Luo Quan sent a message to Fred.

Since they made an appointment to go together, Luo Quan definitely couldn't just leave on his own.

Fred also responded two minutes later. The ticket was booked, first class tomorrow afternoon.

"The action is very fast." Luo Quan smiled.

The next day, Luo Quan packed his luggage, first went to the embassy to get a visa, then walked around Madison Avenue, took some photos and bought some souvenirs.

Although she is a stay-at-home girl, she finally traveled abroad and happened to be free, so she wanted to go shopping.

As the shining pearl among the "lighthouses of the world", New York reveals its aura of development and wealth everywhere.

The people here have different looks. There are office workers who are talking on the phone and walking fast.

There is a young man with a leisurely expression walking his dog on the street.

There are foreign tourists like her who take pictures everywhere with their mobile phones.

Of course, there are also homeless people with sad faces, lying on the ground begging.

Even in the most developed and richest cities in the world, there are still people living in extreme poverty.

Even the state of these homeless people is even more depressed than that of China.

According to her guess, it was probably because of drugs.

In the United States, drug use is very common, and in some states even DM is legal.

Of course, in addition to homeless people, there are also many black people on the street wearing jackets and exposing their strong muscles.

These unemployed vagrants wearing red headscarves and tattoos all over their arms are always huddled in small groups in the corner, some are doing transactions, and some are whistling hooligans at the beautiful girls passing by.

Of course Luo Quan also encountered such treatment. Fortunately, she was wearing sunglasses and it was in broad daylight, so these black people could only whistle.

To be honest, Luo Quan's heart tightened when he saw such a group of people.

The United States is no different from China. You will never know if the passerby next to you has a pistol tucked into the back of his waist.

Shootings occur almost all the time and everywhere.

In front of a pistol, no matter how skilled you are, you will still overturn. This is the reason why she never likes shopping abroad.

She was originally in a good mood today, but the sudden appearance of these black men put her in a good mood.

Ignoring the greetings of these people, Luo Quan hurriedly walked to a crowded place with his suitcase, and then took a taxi directly to the airport.

After sitting in the airport cafe for about an hour, Fred came over with his luggage.

"Where's Seifert?" Luo Quan asked when he saw that there was one person missing.

This time the three of them planned to go to New Zealand together. As one of the top executives of Universal, Seifert still had to take a look at the launch of such an important project, not to mention he was the son of the president.

"He said he would discuss some matters with the producers of his company."

Fred lied. In fact, Seifert had nothing to deal with and simply didn't want to be a light bulb.

"That's right." Luo Quan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After boarding the plane, after experiencing the initial turbulence during takeoff, we traveled smoothly through the clouds.

Luo Quan put down the board and took out the staff and pen from his bag.

Fred on the side looked surprised when he saw this scene: "Are you going to start writing songs? On the plane?"

"Yes, inspiration suddenly came to me." Luo Quan said, writing an English sentence on the staff, which was the name of the song.

“Five Hundred Miles(five hundred miles)”

Fred read the title of the song, but it didn't feel like a love song.

He originally thought that Luo Quan's creation would take some time, so he was prepared to be silent throughout the whole process and watch her perform.

As a result, Luo Quan's entire creative process did not even take more than three minutes. The score and lyrics were basically completed in one go, with no pauses.

If he hadn't seen her miraculous creative power before, it would be hard for Fred to believe that such a thing was happening before his eyes.

"Has it been written?" Fred asked carefully when he saw Luo Quan picking up the music score and shaking it.

"Okay." Luo Quan nodded.

"The lyrics seem to be in a country style. I don't know if I'm right."

"It's indeed a country style. It's a very leisurely and a little sad song... You may not feel anything when you say it, so I'll play it for you." Luo Quan said, taking out an apple and placing it horizontally on the board. , open the guitar simulator.

There was no need to look at the music score. Luo Quan's green and jade-like fingertips lightly touched the phone screen and slid out a string of very pleasant notes.

Fred, on the other hand, stared at the score and tried to sing.

Although there was no arrangement yet, the song was not difficult, but Fred stopped after singing two lines.

After all, non-professionals can't do it. They have to wait until Luo Quan sings it to know what the song is like. After all, she wrote it.

But just listening to the music made Fred a little obsessed.

"It's so beautiful!" Fred exclaimed, "The beats of a few notes can interweave such beautiful music. You creators are really amazing!"

Luo Quan laughed and said: "It's not that exaggerated. In fact, the melodies used in most pop songs and country music are similar. Those who write symphonies are the real masters, and they are the true creators."

"Aren't you also such a creator? "Canon of Luoquan" was written under my nose!"

Luo Quan smiled and did not argue.

Seeing Fred looking so excited and happy, but the atmosphere was so harmonious, she had to be the one to ruin the atmosphere.

"Do you have a crush on me?"

Luo Quan asked very directly and in a very tactful way.

Fred was stunned for a moment, his face became red and congested.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he should admit or deny. This was a dilemma between heaven and hell.

But Luo Quan acted calmer and more rational than him. After all, this was not the first time she had encountered this situation.

"You don't have to answer whether this question is yes or no." Luo Quan whispered. The seats of the two of them were wider than other first-class guests, and there was a thick curtain in the middle. There was no need to worry about being disturbed by such a loud voice. heard.

"It's not that I'm narcissistic. I know the fact that many boys will develop a liking for me when they get along with me. After all, the expression on their face can't be faked." Luo Quan smiled and sounded confident.

After all, what is her current appearance? , there is also a charm attribute that can make most people like you.

"That's true." Fred admitted with his head still awake.

“I never mince words, I always speak directly.

I don’t know if you know me personally, just search for my past videos. If so, you should know that I once said that I will not consider any personal emotional issues before I am thirty. "

"I know this, but..."

"No buts." Luo Quan raised his finger and shook it, "At this point, no one can sway me.

Maybe some girls like to ride on a donkey and look for a horse, eating from a bowl and looking at what's in the pot, but I'm not that kind of person.

If you like it, you just like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. I will never hang on to anyone. This is something I will make clear to all the boys whose feelings I feel are about to break through the boundaries of friendship.

When I was studying in Japan, a Japanese crown prince also had the idea to go further after becoming friends with me.

I discovered it relatively late at the time, and it also caused him considerable pain when I rejected him.

I don't want to experience the same thing again. You think I'm pretending to be noble, or you think I'm thinking about you. "

Fred scratched his head in distress, his voice trembling: "You are so sudden, it really makes me frustrated... It was the first time I had a crush on a girl, but before I even confessed..."

Luo Quan smiled: "Don't doubt yourself because of this. You're just unlucky. You met such a weirdo like me when you first fell in love."

Fred was helpless: "But now I like you, this weirdo."

"Believe me, there will definitely be labor pains, but it is impossible for the two of us to develop a deeper relationship than friends. Even if it is a fatal friendship, it is still just a friendship after all.

I have said countless times on countless occasions that you will not fall in love before you are thirty. "

"I know." Fred looked a little defeated.

Leon had told him about this matter when he was in Dubai, but he felt that he must be the exception and could change Luo Quan's mind.

But I didn't expect that Luo Quan's rejection would come so quickly, on a plane in New Zealand.

Fred thought his first confession would be a failure in a beautiful place in New Zealand, but unexpectedly it was stillborn.

"But I still don't understand, why do you refuse love so much? Are you..."

"That's not true." Luo Quan shook his head, "You can understand that there is no one who can attract me yet."

"What if there is one?" Fred seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Luo Quan laughed: "Then I guess they are all in their thirties. There are thousands of handsome guys in the world, but none of them can tempt me."

After struggling for a long time, Fred finally didn't get any chance.

He was silent for a long time, but still asked the same question that Keimiya Masaku had asked at the airport: "Can we still be friends?"

Luo Quan's answer was the same: "Of course, we are friends now, in the future, and forever."

Fred grinned, not knowing what to say.

He was obviously hurt.

But Luo Quan knew that long-term pain was better than short-term pain, so he pulled him out before he got too deep.

It was because he indulged Senior Jinggong's emotions in the first place that he almost couldn't wrap things up in the end.

She wouldn't make the same mistake a second time.

In fact, sometimes being too perfect is not necessarily a good thing. When getting along with the opposite sex, you always have to pay attention to their status and beware of changes in your lover.

This is why Luo Quan is always very careful when getting along with others. She is very afraid that a charming smile when getting along with friends in the future will create an ambiguous smell in the air.

Fortunately, judging from the current situation, among the many friends of the opposite sex Luo Quan has made, there are only two of them, and the ratio is still relatively small.

In any case, Luo Quan made it clear to Fred.

Fortunately, he did not show up to hate out of love. Both he and Senior Jing Gong are gentlemen with a broad mind.

Such outstanding boys should have a beautiful love, but unfortunately, they all chose this beautiful-looking crooked-necked tree.

It can only be said that this world really depends on appearance, so many girls with beautiful souls cannot be discovered.

But there is no way, the appearance is given by parents, I can't make the decision.

The only thing you can do is to enrich your inner connotation and let your temperament set off your appearance.

This world looks at faces, but it definitely doesn’t only look at faces.

I remembered that I promised Seifert to write two songs for Lyon. Now I have completed one and there is still one left.

Taking out a pen and paper, Luo Quan started dictating again.

After a while, Fred couldn't help but turn his head and glance, and the last illusion in his heart was completely shattered.

The second song written by Luo Quan is titled "Auld lang syne".

Translated into Chinese, it means "Auld Lang Syne."
