Chapter 697 Responsibility

Happy Spring Festival!

The stars in the sky and the beautiful fireworks are filled with my New Year’s Eve prayers! I pray that my book friends may have smooth sailing, double happiness, prosperity in the three suns, peace in all seasons, and five blessings!

May book lovers bring their dreams and set sail at a new starting point! I believe that in the Year of the Tiger, when the tiger is full of power, you will be even more powerful and create miracles!

ps. The author here also wants to shamelessly take a day off on the first day of the new year, so everyone will understand tomorrow’s update.

In addition, the delayed update during this period has indeed caused trouble to book lovers.

However, the author has indeed tried his best to overcome the pain in his hands and ensures updates every day.

In such a difficult situation, the book has not been updated so far, and it will definitely not be stopped in the future. Therefore, book lovers can rest assured that the book will have a beginning and an end, and will definitely not become a eunuch in the palace.

As for the story of the book, the author can only say that it is still very long. If you are willing, just keep reading with Luo Bao.

Finally, I wish all my book friends a happy New Year again, and thank you all for your continued support.

As usual, a press conference is required before the filming of such a large-scale, high-profile movie begins.

"Forrest Gump" is also the only big-budget movie with news of its launch. All other movies have been postponed indefinitely due to the recent turmoil.

It also includes those movies that were originally planned to be released. It seems that everyone thinks that releasing movies at this time will lose money.

In fact, it is normal to have such thoughts. The plummeting stock market and the social turmoil have indeed created a somewhat depressed atmosphere, and people's consumption sentiment has also been greatly reduced.

When a movie is released at this time, the box office is definitely not as good as usual.

As for making movies, to be honest, it is not an easy task to find a film team that is calm and completely unaffected by the outside world.

However, Luo Quan is an exception. When making movies, others only need to act like tools and operate according to her will. In this way, the influence of the outside world will be much less when shooting.

At the press conference, in order to fit in with the recent atmosphere, Luo Quan, who usually likes to laugh, also had a rare serious expression.

In the past, American media liked to put close-ups of Luo Quan's bright smile in their reports, with titles like "Silly Sister."

And the American people really like this kind of persona, so reports with close-ups of her smile often get a lot of traffic.

But this time, her happiness and smile disappeared, and I don't know if it was related to the plummeting stock price.

"Luo Quan, in this environment, it is not easy to start filming. I wonder what your expectations are for "Forrest Gump"? Do you hope that this movie about the American dream can save the current United States? "

The New York Times reporter asked a very constructive question right from the beginning. It combined the content of the movie and hot topics. It was also very topical, but it would be difficult for the person being asked to answer it.

Luo Quan fiddled with the microphone in front of him and said in a deep voice: "I am just making a movie. This is also a biographical movie. If you want to save the current United States, it belongs to the category of science fiction movies."

As expected of the silly elder sister and pistachio recognized by the American media, Luo Quan made everyone laugh as soon as she opened her mouth.

"To be honest, as an outsider, I am actually not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on the current social situation, and it is actually of no use.

I only hope that the films I make can help alleviate the current tense and pessimistic atmosphere. This is the responsibility I can promise.

As for those promises that I can't make or that I'm not sure I can make, I won't make them. "

In fact, what she wants to say is that if you want to solve the current problem, your own government must provide more personnel and resources.

But considering my own position, I'd better say less of this kind of thing, so as not to cause trouble for myself.

After all, what's wrong with her being an outsider making plans for other people's family affairs?

In this situation, pretending to be stupid and acting wisely to protect yourself is the best choice.

The reporters also understood the reason why Luo Quan said such nonsense, and wisely changed the direction of the questions:

"You chose your brother Leon as the representative of the American dream. Do you think he is qualified for this responsibility?

In fact, judging from the public opinion on the Internet, people think that you are more suitable for the term American Dream. "

Luo Quan smiled when he heard this question: "Is it an American man's dream? I don't believe how many girls would dream about me.

This relatively limited version of the American Dream is definitely not what I want to shoot, and it’s probably not what everyone wants to see either.

As for Lyon, I can only say that I hope everyone is looking forward to his next performance, and he will definitely deliver a satisfactory answer. "

"Nowadays, people on the Internet say that you are nepotistic and give all your resources to your family. All your previous movies and songs were like this, either for your family or for your own studio. Some of them are too exclusive and selfish. What do you think of such comments?"

Another reporter raised a highly discussed question.

The fact that the rich water does not flow to outsiders has always been the most true and accurate portrayal of Luo Quan’s works in collaboration with others.

But Luo Quan thinks this is natural: "If you don't give the best resources to your relatives and friends, how can you give priority to strangers? There is no such reason, and I am not selfless to that extent.

Besides, among the relatives and friends who appear in my works, do any of them hinder the work? Or which work was ruined?

Obviously, there is no problem, which is enough to show that there is no problem with my choice, and not only have I done this in the past and now, but I will still do it in the future. "

A very straightforward answer, which slapped many people in the face who said the grapes were sour.

At the following press conference, reporters asked Luo Quan some questions about his future schedule, such as new albums, concerts, etc.

She said everything she could. As for the concert she hadn't even decided when it would be held, she just said "Stay tuned" to get over it.

Just kidding, how long has it been since the last concert? Come on again, even the donkeys in the production team didn't act like this.

After the interview ended, it didn't take long for Luo Quan's classic quotes from this interview to become a hot search.

And among so many answers, the most exciting one is the sentence "science fiction movie".

"If you want to save the United States, you have to rely on science fiction movies."

Under the news, countless netizens were dumbfounded in a real sense:

“This may seem like a joke, but it’s actually very realistic.

Today's American society can indeed be saved only by the power of science fiction movies. "

"Luo Quan is probably very helpless. She is just an influential celebrity, not an official. What she said doesn't count."

"I suggest those officials take a look at Luo Quan's answer. At least her views are more reasonable than the words of these bureaucrats blaming each other."

"My grandma's nonsense after she got Alzheimer's makes more sense than what they say. These people are just moths and trash."

………………

The more the conversation went on, the more heated the comments from netizens became. As a result, no one paid much attention to "Forrest Gump".

But that's fine, no one will assign "responsibility" to her.

Because she has a record of "saving" the Japanese stock market, this time many people still hope that she can save the U.S. stock market, and even regard her as a life-saving straw.

But this is completely nonsense and irresponsible behavior. If nothing changes after the movie comes out, won't she be innocently stigmatized?

Luo Quan didn't know whether the people spreading such remarks had good intentions or ulterior motives. Anyway, it was not good news for her.

She didn't want to inexplicably take a blame that didn't belong to her because of someone else's mistake.

Even if she was cleared of this scapegoat, she would gain unparalleled fame and power, but she was not willing.

It's not that she's afraid of being scolded or criticized after failure. She has become accustomed to these things and doesn't need to worry about it at all.

What she was afraid of was that when those people saw such remarks, they would really put all their hopes on her.

And if it fails, these hopes will turn into despair in an instant, and by then I am afraid that any extreme things may be done.

On the other hand, if no one has any hope, it might produce some unexpected effects.

Anyway, she is quite satisfied with the current situation where everyone's attention is not on "Forrest Gump".

With great power comes great responsibility.

This is what Luo Quan saw in a superhero movie. It makes sense, but she doesn't have that much ability, nor can she bear such responsibility.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

She wanted to give people hope, but if she failed, the disappointment would be unbearable for most people.

So, that's it.

Of course, most people don't care about movies. As the initiator of the movie, Karan finally contacted Luo Quan.

I probably saw the news about the press conference, so I took some time out of my busy schedule to ask if there were any difficulties and if I would like help solving them.

Karan's tone sounded very tired and a little worried.

Luo Quan felt that his difficulties should be much more than what he faced, so he smiled: "No need, everyone on the crew is emotionally stable now, and the movie will be successfully completed and released."

"That's fine. I have something to do here. I'll hang up first."

In the past, after Karan finished talking about movies, he would find excuses to chat with Luo Quan about other things.

He can talk about anything, and he is very happy as long as he talks to Luo Quan, but in most cases he can only chat awkwardly.

But this time, Karan ended the topic quite neatly, saving her a lot of trouble.

To be honest, Luo Quan really didn't like chatting with these second- and third-generation officials, and dealing with Karan was purely for business.

After dealing with the media and film promoters, Luo Quan officially started filming "Forrest Gump" in Hollywood.

Today, it is destined to be written into the textbooks of American film history in the future, but now, we still don’t know what kind of movie this crew will bring.

On the second day after filming started, the film encountered a disaster.

But it was not because of anyone else, but because of the director herself. She had been directing the shooting all morning and announced that everyone would be free to move around in the afternoon and there would be no more shooting tasks.

When he said this, his tone was quite impatient, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. The employees looked at each other, thinking that something bad had happened to make the director so angry.

I checked the Internet and found no negative news about Luo Quan.

Everyone is puzzled.

"What's wrong with sister?" Leon returned to the hotel and looked at his sister's back with confusion.

"I probably know." Mia looked at the calendar on her phone and made a guess.

"For what?"

"Oh, girls are always in a bad mood for a few days. Isn't this why I lost my temper a while ago?

But Luo Quan is really gentle. Even though he was under such great pressure, he never lost his temper with anyone and kept all negative emotions to himself. "

Mia sighed softly, and then looked at Leon: "Leon, do you think I should do the same and become gentler?"

"Haha, you and my sister are not the same type. Why do you force yourself to imitate her?" Leon asked in confusion.

Mia intertwined her fingers quickly: "But I think your sister looks very... very good like this. Who doesn't like gentle girls?"

Instead, Leon became gentle: "That's what I said, but I like you as you are, and you don't need to make any changes."

"So, I can lose my temper at will in the future?" Mia laughed and saw clearly.

"Ah this..." Leon made a sweaty face, trying to say that you can't do enough.

"If you can be gentle, you can still be gentle. If you can't, don't lose your temper like before."

"Haha, I'm kidding you. After that time, I also reflected on it. It is true that I did something wrong. You must not be angry with me." Mia lowered her head as she spoke.

"I'm not so stingy." Leon held Mia's face and said lovingly.

At the same time, in Luo Quan's room, Carillian kept chattering to Luo Quan like an old woman.

"When you're on your period, don't eat any hot pot or ice cream. How dare you eat such a stimulating food for your body? It's weird if you're in a good mood!"

Carillian bought a large pack of anti-side leakage sanitary napkins from the supermarket and threw them on Luo Quan's bed.

She asked her assistant to buy this, as Luo Quan's previous one happened to be used up.

"I forgot, I thought it would have no impact." Luo Quan had already finished taking a shower and was wrapped up tightly.

It's a cold spring season, but fortunately we are in Hollywood, where the climate is relatively pleasant.

However, being too unrestrained in her diet still caused problems with her mentality.

To be honest, this once-a-month period is not as scary to her as she thought.

The pain can be tolerated and the mood can be adjusted.

But if you are a little careless and eat more exciting food, it will still make her become irritable.

In this current state, I definitely can't make a movie, so I can only choose to rest.

"Stay well. It's best not to look at Twitter, so as not to see any news that slanders you." Carillian poured a glass of hot water and handed it to Luo Quan's hand.
