Chapter 661 Aesthetics
As usual, Luo Quan continued live broadcasting the next day after returning to China.
The Spring Festival holiday is over, and most people have returned to work.
However, there are still a few days left for the students' winter vacation, which is no longer particularly sufficient.
Therefore, the title of Luo Quan’s live broadcast room today is: Students, have you finished your winter vacation homework?
"Holy shit, I went into cardiopulmonary arrest as soon as I entered the live broadcast room!"
"Why do you have to remind me of this?"
"I haven't done any homework on six subjects. School starts in less than ten days. I commented that it's not difficult to do one subject in six days."
"You're quite optimistic."
"Luo Bao, please comment on the new movie "Lion Dance"."
…………
Among a bunch of barrages discussing winter vacation homework, such a barrage suddenly appeared.
"Lion dance?" Luo Quan has been abroad for the past few days, and the only domestic hot spot he paid attention to was Wang Lu's incident.
"Is this another conscientious domestic product? Our Chinese movies are about to rise." Luo Quan said while searching on the browser.
"Haha, it's not too late to say this after you finish reading."
"I feel like you are implying something. Do you really not know about this movie?"
"If Chinese-language films rely on this kind of thing to rise, I would rather it die immediately."
………………
The barrage suddenly became excited because of Luo Quan's words, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the movie "Lion Dance".
When Luo Quan found the poster for the movie and watched the trailer, she fell silent.
"Wife, please say something~"
"Luo Quan was thinking: What the hell is this shot?"
"Haha, this character modeling was directly silenced by Luo Quan."
"When I finished reading it, I had almost the same expression as Luo Quan."
………………
Fans were joking in the comments, but they were actually angry.
"Is this made in China or shot abroad?" Luo Quan asked after being silent for a while.
In fact, this problem is clearly visible under the propaganda. From the director, producer to art, they are all made in China.
"It's a bit outrageous. How can any of our own people portray one of our own people like this?"
Luo Quan's two beautiful eyebrows are gradually getting closer to each other: "Abroad, this kind of portrayal should be a kind of RH, especially the wide distance between the eyes and the hanging corners."
"That's what they say, but the film's creators don't think so."
"They think this is a reflection of cultural and aesthetic confidence, not RH."
"The director of the film also said that it was based on materials from Guangdong Province. There are trolls trying to show that this is the face of the Chinese public."
…………
Seeing the description of the barrage, Luo Quan felt that this was a bit outrageous.
But she didn't understand the complete story, and she didn't curse immediately. She could only say some conclusions that she could determine:
"First of all, this is definitely not a popular face, because wasn't it said before that it was a high-end face?"
Luo Quan laughed. Isn't this kind of face a high-end model's face touted by many Muyang dogs? Now it has become a public face. Isn't this a contradiction?
"That's it. Now there's a huge quarrel in the country over this matter."
"Those who support movies say that we are stuck in our ways and have no aesthetic standards, so we can do whatever foreigners do."
"Indeed, looking at it makes me want to curse."
"It belongs to the plaque that Brother Long was kicked over. These people picked it up themselves."
………………
It can be seen that the fans in the barrage are very enthusiastic.
However, the opponents argue that there is a gap in aesthetics between the general public and professionals, and that the mob cannot represent authoritative experts.
This sounds very irritating, but it is really difficult for ordinary people to refute by reasoning, because the opponent himself is somewhat unreasonable.
"A foreigner? That's just right. I happen to know a few friends in the foreign film industry. Wouldn't it be nice to connect directly to them and let them comment?"
Luo Quan also had a sudden idea. Since these people felt that they should be in line with the international trend, she would use magic to defeat magic.
Soon, Luo Quan sent Seifert a video request on his computer.
It's now half past nine in the morning, which is not too late in the United States. With Seifert's workaholic schedule, he must still be awake now.
Sure enough, after about ten seconds, Seifert was connected.
"Oh, my Oscar-winning actress, why do you want to send me a video at night?"
Luo Quan couldn't help laughing when he saw Seifert like this: "I'm live broadcasting for fans here, and I happened to encounter some problems, and I want to ask you for advice."
After hearing the live broadcast, Seifert immediately became more serious: "If you have any questions, just ask me. I will tell you everything I know."
"Let me introduce to fans first. This is Seifert, the deputy director of the marketing department of Universal. He discovered and brought my brother Leon out. He is also responsible for being a gold medal agent. There is no doubt about his level in the industry." Luo Quan raised his hands to make a cup gesture and said solemnly.
"Ahem!" Seifert straightened his tie and hairstyle, and said seriously: "Correction, I have been promoted a long time ago, and now I am the director of the marketing department!"
"Okay, Minister, I will send you a trailer now for you to evaluate." Luo Quan sent the movie trailer of "Lion Dance" to him.
It took Seifert two minutes to read it, and then came the face of the old man on the subway:
"I saw that the Chinese characters written on it are the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Isn't it true that it is a shocking release? Doesn't a Chinese character using this image not count as RH?"
"Look, everyone, even a foreigner can see it." Luo Quan faced the camera with his hands spread out.
"Does this still require foreigners?" Seifert was stunned. "This should be a thunderbolt. Not only China, but Chinese people all over the world will feel uncomfortable seeing this, right?
In this line of work, I have to take into account the taboos of all countries, races and beliefs. Anyway, if I were the boss and made a character like this, I would definitely blow his head full of shit with a toilet shovel. "
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time, please continue your work." Luo Quan nodded and hung up the video with Seifert.
"One person's point of view may be one-sided. I'll find another person to talk to, someone with more authority."
As Luo Quan spoke, he directly invited Director Carnason.
Some fans who speak English well were shocked when they saw Carnason's name, thinking it couldn't be that Carnason, right?
After the new Oscar-winning director appeared on the screen, the barrage immediately went viral.
"Holy crap, it's really Carnason!"
"They say Luo Quan doesn't know how to socialize and has no connections. Look at all the people she knows."
"Can you introduce me? I don't know much about the European and American entertainment industry."
"The director of "Titanic" just won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture."
"And it's not the first time I've won it. It's a big shot among Hollywood big shots."
"Niubi."
………………
Director Carnason was in a good mood for a while. He also smiled when he saw Luo Quan. After understanding the intention of Luo Quan’s video, he also waved to say hello to his friends on Bilibili.
It's a pity that Director Carnason doesn't know much Chinese, so he can only say a half-baked sentence: Nihao.
According to the process, Luo Quan also made no comments and let him watch the trailer of "Lion Dance" first.
Because of their different positions, Carnason's evaluation is also different from Seifert's.
Seifert is more concerned about commercial gains. For this kind of character modeling that will obviously affect the box office, he bluntly said that he will fire the modeler who designed it.
As a director, Carnason saw the essence: "These directors probably want to win some awards in Hollywood."
The background of this sentence is based on the fact that an Asian director won the best documentary at last year's Oscars.
The content the director shot was also somewhat sensitive, but because it met the appetite of some judges, he won the award.
The current situation is probably the same as before. It is nothing more than political correctness.
To smear black people is discrimination and political correctness.
Being praised for smearing Chinese people is also politically correct.
Although Director Carnason himself is an American, he didn't take it into consideration when he said this. Moreover, he himself almost became a victim of political correctness, and this year's best film was almost blacklisted.
When I say this now, it quite literally means criticizing Sang and Huai.
"Actually, a big role of movies is to export ideology and culture. The United States used to shoot individual heroism movies that save the world for a long time, just to establish the image of Americans as heroes abroad.
Movies can really have a subtle impact on audiences, but many people don't realize it. "
Director Carnason was bold, but not bold enough. He touched on some important points, but did not point them out directly.
Although he sees things more clearly, he is an American after all, and when it comes to this, he is quite benevolent and righteous.
In a nutshell, this director just wants to cater to those foreign professionals and win a few awards, preferably the Oscar for Best Foreign Language or the Oscar for Best Animation.
There must be no other ideas, because Seifert has already analyzed it from a business point of view. When this movie is released in China, it will definitely be a hit on the street, and the industry will be bankrupt.
If it’s not for the box office, then it must be for winning awards.
The analysis must be very good. The reason why Erluoquan mobilized so many people is to make this statement more authoritative.
Don’t you all say that you want to be in line with international standards? Is the current marketing director of Universal Company and the Oscar-winning director international enough?
After finishing the video with Director Carnason, Luo Quan zoomed in on the camera and said, "Now that the flirting is over, everyone should have a clear idea. If you encounter someone making trouble about foreign countries, just use this live video to criticize them." .
In addition, I would like to say a few words myself. First of all, there must be people in China who look like this. People have different opinions on aesthetics. You don’t have to look like me to be beautiful.
However, some people still want to touch some things that have been concluded for a long time, that is, it is either stupid or bad. I don’t know the plot and box office of this movie, but judging from the fact that it is at least good For the sake of promoting traditional culture, I will go take a look and give you a score after reading it. "
Without the right to investigate, there is no right to speak. Luo Quan decided to go to the cinema to see this masterpiece, which was highly praised on foreign movie apps.
During the time when Luo Quan went to the cinema, the live broadcast content also began to quickly ferment online.
Even if a celebrity comments, it won't cause any trouble. It's just that the hot search in the last ten minutes has not been followed up.
But Luoquan is different. The people invited to evaluate are relatively heavyweights and are among the authorities in the industry.
If both of them shake their heads, then even if the movie is not as rubbish as imagined, there is definitely a big problem.
Soon, netizens who had been feeling aggrieved after watching the trailer found an outlet to vent their anger, and immediately started firing after receiving the video:
"Come on, explain why foreign countries think this is rh?"
"What Seifert said is exactly what I want to say. The person who designed this kind of model really has something in his head."
"It turns out that I wanted to please the foreign judges, so it all makes sense."
"It was released for 12 hours, with a box office of RMB 15.6 million, and all the records were broken during the Spring Festival. The result is that you are the best, don't you want to think about the reason?"
"There's no telling how many living people there are among these more than 10 million."
………………
While there was a commotion outside, Luo Quan also encountered an embarrassing situation in the cinema.
She just said in the live broadcast room that she would go to the cinema to watch the movie.
Obviously when I booked the tickets, only a few of the hundreds of seats were occupied.
But when she arrived at the cinema, it was actually full.
Jiu Luoquan came in wearing sunglasses, tall and hot, and at first glance he was not an ordinary person.
Damn it, isn’t this a fan meeting?
Feeling the gazes around him, Luo Quan felt that his identity must have been exposed.
After all, who wears sunglasses when entering a movie theater?
"Luo Quan!" Suddenly a boy shouted.
Luo Quan's shoulders also trembled, and finally he had no choice but to take off his eyes: "Hey, hello everyone, did you really come to the cinema and squat with me?"
"Wuhu, I knew it was you just by looking at your back!" A group of fans raised their hands and started cheering.
I never expected that the only sold-out scene of the movie "Lion Dance" was actually because of Luo Quan.
Fans who met their idols could not focus on the upcoming movie. They were taking pictures and asking for autographs. They were very busy.
"Everyone, please come and take photos after watching the movie. Also, don't publicize it. If there are too many people waiting, it may affect public order." Luo Quan also loudly appealed to fans.
"I've seen it, it's not a bad movie." A voice shouted, causing laughter.
The fans still listened to Luo Quan's words very much, and they probably knew that she was wrapped in the center position, with hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at her, unable to escape, so they returned to their respective positions.
Soon, the movie started, and Luo Quan spent more than an hour watching the entire movie.
It’s pretty much what the fan who watched the movie said, it’s not a bad movie.
The plot seems to be okay, but after careful consideration, I find that it doesn't seem to have much to do with the lion dance.
"Damn, I wasted dozens of dollars in vain." Luo Quan suddenly felt heartache when he thought of this.
