289: Hollywood insiders are going crazy: Oh my god, there's going to be a third Iron Man movie?

Hiss! Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped, clearly realizing something.

After all, just moments ago, Fukai No had said that Great Xia didn't have horror films with its own unique style, and Xu Lu had immediately spoken up to say his next film would be a horror film, specifically emphasizing that it would be the kind with a 'unique Great Xia style'.

Clearly, his decision was related to Fukai No's words.

At this moment, even the Host was momentarily at a loss for words.

Instead, Fukai No straightened his back and said solemnly: "Mr. Xu, I admire you, and I hope you can make a horror film with a unique Great Xia style, although that sounds very difficult."

As soon as he said this, the Female Host hurriedly applauded, quickly stirring up the atmosphere of the entire venue.

"Director Xu is truly worthy of being Director Xu; he dares to do what others dare not, and can do what others cannot. We look forward to your next work and hope it brings more vitality to the Great Xia horror film market," the Host said.

For the remainder of the time, the live broadcast did not delve any deeper, as it was nearing its end.

However, some news from the program had already spread.

In particular, the news that Our CEO Xu would be making a horror film for his next project caused quite a sensation both inside and outside the industry.

"Shooting a horror film? This young man is truly bold. After trying the science fiction film genre, he's immediately set his sights on this even more niche genre," an industry veteran sighed, sounding meaningful.

"This Xu Lu is too restless. He got lucky with his previous science fiction film, and instead of taking the time to make more, he's going to shoot a horror film now? Flitting from one thing to another like this, I don't think it's a good thing. It's not obvious while things are going smoothly, but once he hits a setback, heh!" Others were not optimistic, believing Xu Lu was unfocused and that the consequences would be unpredictable.

There were also some people who didn't get along with Xu Lu, and at this moment, hope was rekindled in their hearts. For example, some people from Mo Luntian, some from Xia Lifei, and also... some from the dismal Feilongxian Special Effects Studio.

In fact, when Xu Lu was shooting his science fiction film, they had already ignited hope once, hoping that this kid would flop at the box office in the science fiction film field. Unfortunately, both iron man films were box office smashes, dashing their hopes.

They had thought there wouldn't be such a good opportunity again, but who knew that 'Heaven helps me'. Of all things, that kid Xu Lu said his next film would be a horror film. This thing is even more niche than a science fiction film; not only is the market small, but the difficulty is high. To make a horror film with a good box office, the difficulty is more than ten times that of a science fiction film. With this, the fire of hope was reignited in these people.

"Heh, I originally thought it would take a long time to see that kid have bad luck, but he's courting death himself, doing it time and time again. Surely he should have bad luck by now!"

"A horror film? Hahahaha, I really don't know what that kid is thinking. Is he so impatient to flop? You'll definitely get your wish this time."

"If I had known this kid was so easily provoked, I should have found a few more people to talk to him about niche film genres back then; maybe he would have flopped long ago."

"I can't wait to see the look on that kid's face when he makes a trashy film. Horror films are hard enough to shoot as it is, and you have the audacity to say you want a unique Great Xia style? Please, is that something you can just shoot whenever you want? It's ridiculous. Does he really think that just because he made a few films, he can do anything..."

Meanwhile, Xu Lu, who had finished the program, was grabbed by Feng Xiaoxia, who had been waiting backstage. The other party said with an anxious face: "Our CEO Xu, you said on the show that your next film will be a horror film; that's not true, is it?"

"Of course it's true. I said it in front of so many people; how could I go back on my word?" Xu Lu replied irritably.

Feng Xiaoxia was instantly choked up and unable to speak. He thought to himself, 'But you could have completely avoided saying it at the time, and then nothing would have happened, right?'

Of course, he only dared to say this in his heart; he didn't dare say it to Our CEO Xu's face. So, at this moment, he just said helplessly: "Our CEO Xu, this... going back on your word is indeed not very good, but horror films... are also not easy to shoot. And you also said you want to shoot a horror film with a unique Great Xia style; the difficulty just skyrocketed..."

"Who said it was very difficult?" Before Feng Xiaoxia could finish complaining, Xu Lu suddenly interjected.

This time, Feng Xiaoxia was truly stunned. Although he had the experience of so many previous times, he no longer had any doubts about the ability of the Our CEO Xu in front of him. However, hearing him say that shooting a horror film with a unique Great Xia style was easy made him somewhat incredulous.

But before Feng Xiaoxia could be lost in thought for too long, Xu Lu interrupted him and said: "Alright, alright. In the future, you can just send anyone to participate in these kinds of programs; there's no need to ask me to hold down the fort every time. After all, Da Xu Culture is now considered a big company in the entertainment industry, and each of you should have the ability to handle things on your own."

As for the second half of the sentence, Feng Xiaoxia didn't comment, lest it seem like boasting. But for the first half of what the Our CEO Xu said, he deeply agreed.

It wasn't because he thought 'anybody would do'. It was just that every time Our CEO Xu participated in a program, it seemed like he would stir up some trouble.

For example, last time, he also decided to shoot a science fiction film on the program, which scared the group at Da Xu Culture to death. Fortunately, the iron man film that was finally made was a real hit, which was the only reason they breathed a sigh of relief.

Who knew that the second time Our CEO Xu participated in a program, he would spread the news that his next film genre would be a horror film. Heaven knows if he participates in a program next time or the time after, whether he will suddenly come up with something that gives people a headache; it just feels like the risk is very high!

As a well-known director in the industry who has been the most prominent recently, Xu Lu's every move is clearly being watched by many people. Moreover, explosive news like his next film being a horror film spread across the entire internet in an instant.

Even the group in Hollywood learned of this news immediately. Hearing that this guy would no longer shoot science fiction films, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling their confidence return:

"I told you, this director named Xu Lu does have some ability. But being able to shoot two high-quality science fiction films is already quite good; what happens next still depends on our Hollywood operations."

"That's right! It's clear that this guy named Xu Lu also knows he can't compete with all of Hollywood on his own, so he has chosen to retreat in the face of difficulties."

"Heh, I thought this guy was really something, but didn't he only shoot two? Hollywood is, after all, Lighthouse Country's Hollywood..."

Just as the Hollywood insiders felt the storm had passed and quickly turned on their mocking mode, another piece of news came from Great Xia, directly shocking them silly: 'iron man 3 is about to be released simultaneously in Great Xia and Lighthouse Country in the coming days...'

The Hollywood insiders who had just been excited for a little while were going crazy: "Oh my god! What the f***! How is there a third iron man?"
