250: An industry veteran commented: "Young people are still too young. After two hit works, they've finally gotten cocky."

"Director Xu said it so well! Before anything is done, who can be sure that the result will be bad?"

"Exactly, those words are truly profound. As expected of a Great Director."

"My favorite part was Director Xu hitting back, saying there's nothing great about Lighthouse Country, and he doesn't know why these people are groveling.

That woman's words earlier made me furious, but hearing Director Xu say that, I finally feel relieved."

"Hahahaha, look at that woman named Zhao Xiaomeng, her face looks like a donkey's face, long and stretched out."

..."Director Xu really sees things clearly, and he's truly not afraid of offending people, directly confronting them on a live broadcast."

"That's hilarious. Zhao Xiaomeng probably never expected to be called out directly."

"Serves her right! That kind of woman only thinks about Lighthouse Country. Director Xu wasn't wrong; it truly makes people sick!"

"I hope Director Xu can make a good science fiction film. If we encounter this situation again, we'll have evidence to refute them."

...Xu Lu's words drew endless cheers from the live audience and those watching the broadcast.

Everyone had been filled with anger by Zhao Xiaomeng's comments just now, but they didn't have a chance to confront her.

Now it’s great. With Director Xu acting as their 'Mouthpiece' and voicing everyone's thoughts, the audience felt the frustration they had just experienced instantly vanish.

This feeling is so damn satisfying.

This is how it should be! You open your mouth and say Lighthouse Country, close your mouth and say Lighthouse Country. Lighthouse your grandpa?

If you want to grovel, go grovel by yourself. Why do you have to come and disgust others?

Meanwhile, the employees of Da Xu Culture also widened their eyes:

"Damn! President Xu is too fierce! He just went right for it, not showing any mercy."

"Actually, this must be the real President Xu. I felt something was off when he didn't react earlier."

"True! But President Xu really spoke our minds. I haven't been able to stand that woman for ages!"

"Exactly! A Banana Man making outrageous statements and treating Lighthouse Country like an ancestor. Go to hell with that."

Even Feng Xiaoxia, after frowning for a moment, slowly relaxed and thought to himself:

"Forget it. President Xu just has this personality. Besides, saying this will probably make him even more popular with netizens, so it's not a bad thing."

On the other side, Reba, who had rushed to watch the live broadcast immediately after receiving the news, had her mouth wide open.

"Wow, Xu Lu is so daring! Publicly confronting someone on the show, but somehow it feels great!"

Reba's eyes were squinted with laughter.

But she quickly wondered:

"But is he really planning to shoot a science fiction film? That's not a good decision.

Although the woman surnamed Zhao spoke harshly, science fiction films are indeed weak here in Great Xia.

Making a science fiction film that is both critically acclaimed and commercially successful is much, much harder than making a comedy film.

Never mind. I'll call and try to persuade him after the show, even though there's a high chance it won't work!"

Reba, who understood Xu Lu very well, shook her head helplessly... Half an hour later, the live broadcast ended, and Reba called him immediately to discuss the science fiction film.

Sure enough, Xu Lu said directly:

"Girl, you don't need to persuade me about this. I've already made my decision and I'm not planning to change it.

Oh right, interested in playing a role in your Brother's science fiction film? If you want to, I'll save you one."

Hearing this, Reba was slightly tempted and asked, "What kind of role? The Female Lead?"

She had only asked jokingly, but to Reba's surprise, this time Xu Lu actually said:

"If you want to play it, it's not impossible."

"Seriously? Xu Lu, you're not messing with me, are you?"

Reba was genuinely surprised.

"Of course it's true. As long as you agree, the Female Lead role is yours."

Xu Lu said with a smile.

"Ah? So generous? Are you not playing the Male Lead then?"

Hearing this, Reba countered with even greater surprise.

To be honest, for a moment there, she almost agreed.

But the thought that this guy Xu Lu might not be playing the Male Lead instantly dampened her enthusiasm.

She then said directly:

"Forget it, I don't want the Female Lead. Just give me a Supporting Role, or even an extra."

"You really don't want it?" Xu Lu pressed again.

"I really don't!" Reba replied firmly.

"Fine, I'll give you a small Supporting Role then. What a pity, someone actually gave up the Female Protagonist treatment and voluntarily chose a Supporting Role. I don't get it!"

Xu Lu teased.

Reba, on the other end, said exasperatedly:

"Alright, stop trying to annoy me! I don't want the Lead Role this time, but if you have any good movies next time, you must save a Female Protagonist part for me, understood!"

"Fine, how about next time I shoot a crime drama, I invite you to play the Perverted Female Lead? Would that work?"

Xu Lu continued to joke.

"Hmph, I'll play it if I play it, what's the big deal!"

Although Reba was slightly annoyed, she maintained a tough front... Setting aside the two people who were bored and bickering with each other.

Currently, the entire Film Industry was causing a stir because of what Xu Lu said during the live broadcast.

You must know that the box office hit kung fu, which earned four billion, hasn't even been pulled from theaters yet, and the total box office is rapidly approaching five billion.

This is a first in the entire film history of Great Xia, so you can imagine how popular Director Xu is in the industry right now.

However, this director, who set box office records, announced that his next film would be a science fiction film. As soon as this news broke, everyone in the industry was stunned.

After all, the failed precedent of the science fiction masterpiece 'magic city fortress' is right in front of them.

Why shoot a science fiction film, of all things? This is truly shocking.

"Young people are young people after all. After directing two consecutive smash hits, he's probably gotten carried away now!"

An Industry Veteran said this.

"Yeah, making a science fiction film? Might as well just throw the money into the water. At least you'd hear a splash, and you wouldn't get scolded by people?" someone lamented.

"What a pity. If Director Xu had continued to focus on comedy, his achievements would be limitless. But if he thinks he's omnipotent and starts messing around randomly, his future is worrying!"

Someone expressed concern.

"Hahahaha, is this guy Xu Lu crazy? Making a science fiction film? This is absolutely fantastic! I'll be watching how badly you fail!"

Zhao Fan, who had recently been so defeated he almost coughed up blood, was now ecstatic.

Take, for example, Director Wu Leilei, who directed the massive flop 'magic city fortress'. He was also full of anticipation after hearing the news.

He hoped that the person who made 'kung fu' would also fail miserably in the science fiction film sector.

That way, people would no longer think that the box office failure of 'magic city fortress' was due to Wu Leilei's lack of skill.

But rather that science fiction films truly have no environment to thrive in Great Xia!
