288: Xu Lu: Whatever, I'll take action anyway! Reba sighed: I'm truly speechless.

"Blame this Fukai No for not making himself clear. You can't blame me for misinterpreting it, I'm such an upright person... After all, in most people's minds, Japan is most famous not for horror films, but for action films, right?"

Seeing the expressions of the people around him, including the Female Host, were just as surprised as his own.

Xu Lu muttered internally.

He had just been wondering how daring this guy from Japan was.

To actually discuss things on a live broadcast that should only be criticized in private.

It wasn't until Fukai No said the words 'horror film' that Xu Lu realized the topic the other party wanted to discuss was different from what he had imagined.

Horror films, well, those can certainly be discussed in public.

Compared to the surprise of the others, Fukai No himself clearly didn't realize this.

He continued speaking:

"So now everyone understands why I want to cooperate with Mr. Xu, right? It's based on this reason.

Since we in Japan are not very good at the science fiction film genre, we might as well introduce it from other countries.

Previously, I always went to Lighthouse Country to seek cooperation, but this time I think Mr. Xu's iron man is more worthwhile..."

Seeing that it wasn't good for Fukai No to just talk to himself, the Female Host interjected:

"Mr. Fukai No, speaking of horror films, I recall a movie that was released in Great Xia not long ago, which I believe was imported from Japan, and the box office was excellent!"

Hearing this, Fukai No said with a proud expression:

"In fact, many of our horror films have already been screened in your Great Xia. This genre of film still has a very large audience.

Furthermore, as far as I know, Great Xia currently does not have horror films with its own unique style. I must say this is somewhat regrettable..."

"Unique style? Mr. Fukai, could you elaborate?"

The Female Host became interested and asked.

In fact, everyone else present also had this doubt.

A horror film is just a horror film. It's already a genre of movie, so does it need to be subdivided into different styles?

Soon, Fukai No spoke eloquently at length, and the other guests nodded in agreement.

In fact, what this guy said made a lot of sense.

For example, horror films from Lighthouse Country tend to feature a lot of gore and violence.

They might also involve horror elements like vampires and werewolves.

Japanese horror films, on the other hand, mainly feature demons, monsters, and ghosts.

After all, the Eight Million Gods of Fusang are not to be trifled with.

But here in Great Xia, although some horror films are of good quality, they haven't formed their own unique style, nor can people tell immediately that they are horror films produced in Great Xia.

No wonder this Fukai No is so proud.

It's just like how insiders in Lighthouse Country previously viewed Great Xia's science fiction films.

Clearly, horror films are also a weak point in the Great Xia film market.

There aren't many high-quality films domestically, but the public demand for them is quite high, so they can only spend money importing them from Japan.

Everyone sighed for a moment, and the Female Host suddenly noticed that Great Director Xu, who was present, hadn't spoken up to participate in the discussion.

She then turned her gaze towards him and asked with a smile:

"Director Xu, do you have any unique insights regarding this situation? Or, from your professional perspective, our Great Xia's horror films..."

The next moment, something unexpected happened.

The Female Host hadn't even finished speaking when Xu Lu suddenly interrupted:

"It doesn't matter, I'll take action anyway!"

"Wh-What?"

The Female Host, along with all the other guests present, was stunned, unable to grasp the meaning of his words immediately.

What do you mean, you'll take action?

They are discussing the future of Great Xia's horror films. What does your 'taking action' or not mean?

Instead, Fukai No, the guy from Japan, was the first to react, looking over with surprise and saying:

"Mr. Xu, are you planning to shoot a horror film too?"

What... is that what he meant?

Hearing this, everyone present looked toward Xu Lu, and the Female Host excitedly said repeatedly:

"Director Xu, when you said 'I'll take action,' did you mean you plan to personally make your mark in the horror film industry?"

This is explosive news.

The fact that Director Xu, who just filmed a sci-fi masterpiece that astonished Hollywood insiders in Lighthouse Country, is now setting his sights on the horror film genre, is enough to trend.

Therefore, not only was the Female Host repeatedly surprised, but the surrounding guests were also astonished.

At the same time.

Backstage, Feng Xiaoxia’s heart skipped a beat, and he secretly groaned in distress.

"Just now I was saying that luckily nothing major happened this time. Although The one surnamed Li caused trouble earlier, Director Xu's response was perfect.

However, unexpectedly, this tranquility ultimately did not last until the end.

Director Xu, Director Xu, when you make such a major decision, could you possibly give a little heads-up beforehand?"

Feng Xiaoxia felt that his already strong heart had just received another excellent workout—it was truly too stimulating!

In fact, it wasn't just Feng Xiaoxia; people like Reba, who were watching the live broadcast program, were also startled by Xu Lu's words.

"The next movie is actually a horror film? What on earth is this guy thinking?"

"He didn't just make this decision on a whim after hearing what that Fukai No said, did he?"

Reba thought speechlessly.

She felt this was exactly the kind of thing Xu Lu would do. It was the same with the science fiction film last time.

At that time, provoked by that woman on the show, he declared his next film would be a science fiction film.

This time, having just heard Fukai No say that Great Xia lacked horror films with a unique style, this guy immediately said, 'I'll take action.'

"I am truly speechless!"

Reba sighed, feeling she really couldn't understand Xu Lu's thought process anymore... At this moment, the fans watching the live broadcast were also stunned by the news:

[Director Xu is going to shoot a horror film? Holy cow, the genre switch is too fast!]

[First comedy, then sci-fi, and now he's preparing to enter the horror film genre...]

[As expected of Director Xu, always on the path of challenging himself, with no intention of resting on his laurels.

If it were anyone else making money from comedies, they would definitely focus entirely on making comedies.

But Director Xu is different. He made money with comedies, he made money with science fiction films, and now he has chosen a niche genre: horror films.]

[But why do I feel that the genres Director Xu chooses are getting progressively harder?]

[Exactly, science fiction films are inherently difficult. The 'door' was locked at the time.

It's just that Director Xu's abilities are astonishing, allowing two iron man films to shine brightly and force even the people of Lighthouse Country to concede.]

...Under everyone's gaze, Xu Lu smiled and nodded, saying:

"That's right! My next movie will be a horror film—the kind with a unique Great Xia style."
