Chapter 765 Changing Places to Shoot Movies

With the arrival of the new policy, countless people feel as if they are on a small sailboat sailing in stormy seas.

Some people choose to go with the flow and not care where the waves take them.

Some people choose to control the sails and become the trendsetters of the times.

Those who have the second idea are often "successful people" who have more resources.

Their capital gives them the power to see further and do more.

The more capital you have, the faster you can act.

Just like the sharks that gather together after smelling the smell of blood, only the fastest swimmer can take the largest bite of food, while the slower ones can only eat the residue.

The manifestation of this action is that art academies for primary and secondary school students have begun to be built across the country.

Education should start from childhood, and art education is no exception.

The vast majority of children are like a blank slate with infinite possibilities and are extremely malleable.

The most efficient way to discover geniuses must be within this group.

And Shanghai, a newly built aristocratic middle school that was originally intended to only accept children from wealthy families, also temporarily changed its enrollment requirements after the new policy was promulgated.

From an ordinary aristocratic middle school, it became an art middle school, and half of the enrollment share was used to recruit various art students.

Most ordinary middle schools will have students with special talents, such as sports, art, music, etc., but if half of the school is full of students with such special talents, the nature will be different.

Moreover, this powerful principal also invited Luo Quan to promote the school.

Although she only took a photo, due to her popularity, even if she strolled around the admissions office, a large number of parents who hoped that their children would succeed would flock to her.

As the only star to achieve great international fame in the new century, Luo Quan's name in the field of art is even better than that of many senior professors and gentlemen.

Even if she is not a teacher at the school, it will naturally make parents feel that the school has some connections, and they may even think of inviting her to give lectures at the school in the future.

Once you have this idea, the school's plan will be considered successful.

Although Luo Quan himself doesn't like to promote these things.

It would have been fine if it was an ordinary art school, but the aristocratic school catered to wealthy people, as if she was being asked to choose between two classes.

If Principal Li from Shangyi hadn't called her to do a favor, she would definitely not have done anything to promote it.

But there was no other way. She had studied at Shangyi for a year, and Principal Li also helped her a lot. She was too sophisticated to refuse, so she accepted it.

Fortunately, I heard that this elite middle school will lower the admissions threshold as appropriate and focus more on the quality of the students rather than their family background. After admission, the focus will be on academic performance and ability development, so there will not be any situation where the poor are the best.

Although I don’t know if it can be realized, it is good to have such an attitude.

Luo Quan took the job and did his best. He chose a good and auspicious day to shoot a promotional video and posted it online.

The content of the promotion is to introduce the school's advantages, such as how big the area is, how strong the teaching staff is, and how advanced and complete the teaching equipment is.

Judging from the paper data, Shanghai Yingcai Middle School is ranked first in the country. It is worthy of being used to open an aristocratic middle school. There is no choice in terms of hardware.

As for the quality of teaching, we will have to wait until school starts to know. She is not a teacher and cannot guarantee these uncertainties.

After the promotional video was released, it quickly exceeded one million views.

In the past, this kind of popularity would have easily become a hot search.

But now there is no big movement.

Even though the number of clicks shows that the popularity is really high, other places have no idea what is happening here.

Originally, Luo Quan was a little surprised, wondering why Weibo suddenly suppressed his trending search results.

Then she suddenly remembered that the new policy mentioned reducing the exposure of entertainment stars.

Although she has many titles such as musician, national chef, philanthropist, and entrepreneur.

But she is best known as the world's most beautiful and entertainment superstar.

Since you are in the entertainment industry, your exposure will be reduced.

Although he was mentally prepared for this, when it actually happened, Luo Quan still felt a little uncomfortable.

And this unaccustomed situation will become the norm.

"I will get used to it gradually in the future." Luo Quan stopped refreshing Weibo and comforted himself.

With the school affairs over here, Luo Quan opened his notepad and started preparing for a new movie.

Although the United States is now in chaos like a pot of simmered eight-treasure porridge, with zero-dollar shopping, shootings, and even internet celebrities being shot dead in the street in many places.

However, no matter how chaotic the world is, we still have to make money.

Warner can't wait any longer.

It was originally promised that the new movie would be released during the summer vacation, but it has not started filming yet.

Luo Quan promised to hand over the work within this year, but seeing that August is almost over and there is still no movement, the management is already a little anxious.

Now the film market is changing day by day, and the end of the first phase of Marvel's business is a great opportunity that has been exhausted and has not been realized in the heart.

If we don't make a few more good movies now to occupy the market, DC will probably be underfoot again in the next ten years when the second phase of movies comes out.

So, it’s no wonder these managements are anxious.

Although they did not do much personnel work when running DC, as long as it is related to making money, there is no need to question their enthusiasm.

So during this period, I sent Luo Quan emails every day to express my condolences, asking her how her health and mood were recently, whether she had any plans to come to the United States, and whether she wanted to book a flight for her.

She thought it was funny at first, but as time went by, she got tired of it.

If she hadn't had to pay for the breach of contract, she would have just given up the job.

Because no one in this world can force her to do something she doesn't like.

However, the money given by Warner was too much, and the compensation after breach of contract would be even more.

Therefore, Luo Quan, who couldn't bear the disturbance, directly replied to the other party:

"I don't plan to go to the United States for the time being. If you insist on filming, bring people to China. I will finish filming in China!"

This compromise was unanimously agreed upon by Warner management.

After all, we are all making movies, so where is the difference? It’s nothing more than spending more on air tickets and travel expenses.

The wool comes from the sheep. When the movie is released, with Luo Quan's fame, won't it be easy to make back the money?

In this way, it was decided that the film would start filming, and Warner also quickly started trailer promotion.

As a director and starring role, Luo Quan is finally getting busy.

There is no need to mention the shooting plan. It should be done every time before shooting a movie. After writing it, show it to the other crew members to let them know how the movie should be shot.

As for himself, in order to fit the protagonist's thin figure, Luo Quan exchanged some quick weight loss pills from the system mall.

This weight-loss drug works very quickly. You will lose a certain amount of weight the next day based on the amount of medicine you take.

However, this medicine has a duration. Once the effect of the medicine wears off, the weight will rebound immediately, and taking it again for a period of time will not have any effect.

This kind of weight-loss drug treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, which is why Luo Quan didn't choose it when he wanted to maintain a good figure.

However, it only takes a month to make a movie, and what is important is to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

She lost weight during the filming and regained her original appearance after the filming. It was perfect.

You can even market your dedicated character and lose weight for the movie.

Oh no, it seems that this environment is no longer feasible. Celebrities can no longer over-market, which is a bit of a pity.

After exchanging the weight-loss pills, Luo Quan did not immediately eat the full amount he wanted to lose. Instead, he ate a little every day so that he could lose weight every day and not look so abrupt.

Unless you have a serious illness, no one will lose more than ten pounds overnight.

Luo Quan would not do such an irrational thing.

And during this period, Luo Quan also spent more time in the exercise room pretending to be good, making Wen Xia and the others think that he had lost weight because of increasing the amount of exercise.

With a few measures taken together, it's basically seamless.

The next night, the movie's poster was released online.

This time it was trending, but it was a trending search on foreign Twitter.

There is only one half of Luo Quan's upper body in the poster.

She was wearing a burgundy woolen coat, and her face was made up like a clown with red, white and blue paint.

The red paint outlines a grin on the corners of her mouth, but her closed lips and lowered eyes reflect her sad mood at the moment.

Just a preview poster showed the complex inner world of the protagonist Joker so clearly that a lot of DC fans shouted long live for it.

As the most popular villain in DC and even the entire American comic history, the Joker has always appeared in related movies as Batman's old enemy.

Among the ten Batman films, he is the villain in five, and he will definitely be mentioned in four more.

As a synonym for high intelligence, madness, and free will, the Joker actually represents the character of many DC fans.

They do not go along with the secular world, hate this world full of injustice, want to fight to the death with so-called justice, and then move toward great destruction with an extremely tragic attitude.

It sounds shocking, but also very middle-class.

However, this is also the charm of the Joker character.

Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is a butcher who regards human life as insignificant. He is cunning and cruel, and can always defeat Batman, but in the end he will not be able to escape being defeated by justice.

The ending of the story was clear to everyone from the beginning.

But this time Luo Quan is filming the Joker's personal movie, and it is also an independent parallel universe, so fans who want to see the Joker defeated by Batman will probably be disappointed.

What this movie is about is why the clown became the clown.

There will be almost no special effects, no other superheroes, and the plot will be dull and bland most of the time.

The only interesting thing is focused on the clown.

Such a movie is definitely unacceptable to most DC fans.

Luo Quan also told everyone about this as soon as the project came out.

Now that the movie's promotional poster has come out, she mentioned it again to prevent fans from getting too excited and realizing after watching the movie that it's not what they wanted at all.

However, even though he told the truth, many DC fans thought that Luo Quan was throwing out smoke bombs to create suspense in the movie.

Many directors and actors will do this before the movie is released. Due to confidentiality regulations, too much information about the movie is not allowed to be revealed, so as not to spoil the fans and make them lose their sense of expectation.

Luo Quan's reminder was obviously considered by fans to be due to confidentiality regulations.

It's okay not to remind, but the reminder made fans look forward to it even more.

The Joker is a very popular villain, and many actors have put in a lot of effort before playing him.

Some depictions are quite extensive, as if they were possessed by the clown himself.

And some of them performed more mediocrely, appearing exaggerated and embarrassing.

This is a very difficult role, but in various versions before this, the Joker has been played by men.

Luo Quan is currently the only female clown.

A considerable number of fans are even looking forward to the whole cp-oriented movie between her and Batman, where they will have a real love and fight, and even become a couple in the end, which is completely acceptable to everyone.

If the movie is shot like this, let alone, the box office is probably not low.

Nowadays, society is used to seeing regular superheroes saving the world. It is quite novel to occasionally change the taste and watch a girly villain and superheroes fight against each other.

Luo Quan himself also likes to watch this kind of novel movies.

But the movie "Joker" doesn't tell such a story.

The female version of the clown is just a gimmick. The core of the movie is to expose the contradictions of the entire society by depicting the birth of the clown.

Its gender actually doesn't matter. Whether it's male or female doesn't have a big impact.

However, because the female version of the Joker is Scorpion's only one, American comic fans are looking forward to it.

They want to see a different villain, a yandere, a crazy beauty.

It did sound very attractive, but Luo Quan could only say to them apologetically: You will be disappointed.

The final effect of the movie will most likely not be like this.

If the Batman universe is restarted in the future, there might be another chance to film like this.

But now Warner's DC universe has turned into a puddle of mud. Many of the movies it produced have failed at the box office, and Justice League, which has many big names, is even more of a flop.

So much so that the management directly canceled the plan for the second part and planned to restart the DC Universe.

The screenwriter, director and even actors are expected to have to be replaced.

Because Luo Quan is a project independent of the main universe, it has not been greatly affected.

But it will probably take several years or even ten years before her version of the Joker plays opposite Batman.

For now, Warner does not have the extra human and financial resources to implement this plan.

Therefore, the love and death that fans are looking forward to may only become a series in this lifetime.
