328: Netizens commented: "This post is clearly showing off! I never expected Director Xu to be like this!"

'It is a great honor to be invited by Jingcheng University to attend their lecture gala...'

Our CEO Xu is all about taking advice.

After finishing his conversation with Boss Yang, he immediately instructed the Little Assistant to post an update on the Social Media Platform.

Since everyone else posted, we couldn't fall behind. It's just a Social Media Platform update, right? Post it! Post it now!

At first, the fans who followed him didn't pay much attention.

Everyone was just a little puzzled about the meaning of the update Our CEO Xu posted:

"A lecture event at Jingcheng University? Is Director Xu going to the Imperial Capital again? There's no need to post an update about this, right!"

"Exactly. I've been to Jingcheng University too. Although the academic atmosphere is really strong, it's still just a university."

"Did you guys see the words 'lecture event'? Director Xu is going to give a lecture. I've never seen him lecture before."

"Holy cow, brothers, this isn't simple. Have you seen the other news report?

The people attending this Jingcheng University lecture event are all incredibly impressive. I can't believe Director Xu actually received an invitation!"

Finally, someone realized what was unusual.

This Jingcheng University lecture event was not as simple as they had imagined.

Immediately, the comment section beneath this update became lively:

"Holy smokes, holy smokes, holy smokes! Look at who is attending the lecture event! They are all extremely famous figures.

There are masters in the literary field, famous writers in the creative field, and big shots in the economic field... But I took a look, and Our CEO Xu is the only one from the entire director circle who received an invitation from Jingcheng University!"

"Hiss! I didn't understand at first, but hearing you say that, I instantly get it!"

"That's right. Director Xu managed to stand out among so many directors. This is an extraordinary honor."

"Amazing, my Director Xu. He was invited by Jingcheng University without making a sound..."

..."I was wondering why Director Xu suddenly posted this update. It looked like nothing at first, but on second glance, it's clearly showing off!"

"Hahahaha, it really has that feeling of humble bragging. I never expected Director Xu to be like this."

"I just searched online again and found that quite a few of the invited heavyweights also posted on the Social Media Platform.

It's just that their Social Media Platform updates were posted earlier than Our CEO Xu's, and they better illustrate the high-end nature of this lecture event."

"I heard that the Jingcheng University lecture event is only held once every two years, and only top figures from various fields are invited.

It has been held over ten times since its inception, and many people consider it an honor to be invited by Jingcheng University.

Because receiving an invitation signifies your status in that field, and it also comes with numerous intangible benefits!"

...As the popularity of the Social Media Platform post continued to rise, the news of Xu Lu being invited by Jingcheng University quickly spread throughout the film and television industry.

Insiders in the circle fell silent upon learning the news.

After all, Director Xu had only been in the industry for about two years, yet he was invited by Jingcheng University this time.

Meanwhile, so many people who had been in the film and television industry for ten or twenty years had not received an invitation.

With such a comparison, this group of industry insiders couldn't help but feel silent.

It was truly depressing.

Compared to Director Xu, many people felt like they had wasted their entire adult lives.

Director Xu entered the industry two years ago and has already produced several smash-hit films.

Moreover, he has raised the banner in the science fiction film genre.

At the same time, he refreshed a new genre and provided the standard answer for it.

This is just looking at it from the perspective of a director.

Looking at it from the perspective of a company founder, it's even more remarkable.

In just two years, Da Xu Culture transformed from a startup into a large, well-known company in the industry.

It could even be said that they stand among the first echelon of the cultural and entertainment industry.

Every action they take has a huge influence on the entire film and television industry.

Thinking of all this, industry insiders couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"This Director Xu is amazing. So many veteran directors weren't invited, yet Jingcheng University specifically invited him.

After he attends this lecture gala, his status in the circle is definitely going to skyrocket. I'm so envious!"

"Indeed, being able to attend a lecture gala of this caliber is an honor for anyone."

"It's said that the Jingcheng University lecture gala will last for several days, with two main speakers each evening.

I wonder who Director Xu will be speaking alongside on the same day, and whether he'll be able to shine..."

"That's also true. If he attends the lecture gala only to embarrass himself, it would be better not to go at all."

...The above were merely the sighs of ordinary industry insiders.

For those who choked on quite a bit of water during the 'great wave' of zombie films this time, their feelings were even more complicated upon hearing the news.

For example, Qi Lingshan, the director of 'zombie man'.

Originally, Director Qi had hoped his work would take the lead this time, and he wanted to suppress Mou Jun to win the title of King of Horror Films in one fell swoop.

But who knew that the box office for 'zombie man' would be cut in half midway, followed by a complete slump.

Later, when the standard answer for the 'zombie film' came out, everyone realized that this movie was quite far from the standard answer.

In fact, Qi Lingshan himself didn't really agree with the idea of a standard answer.

In his view, a zombie film shouldn't have a standard answer at all.

A hundred flowers blooming is the best state.

However, when he heard that Xu Lu had accepted the invitation to the Jingcheng University lecture gala, Qi Lingshan's fighting spirit instantly vanished, and he felt utterly defeated.

Because he had been looking forward to the Jingcheng University lecture gala for many years.

But due to various reasons, Qi Lingshan had never been invited.

The reason he wanted to compete for the title of 'Horror King' this time was also to use it to secure a spot at the lecture gala.

Unfortunately, the spot reserved for the director circle still did not fall to Qi Lingshan.

Instead, it fell right into the hands of the young director named Xu Lu, whom he somewhat disapproved of.

Upon learning this news, how could Qi Lingshan not feel depressed?

But the die was cast, and this kind of thing couldn't be changed just by fighting for it. So, at this moment, he could probably only drown his sorrows in alcohol... On the other side, Mou Jun, a well-known director in the horror film field who also suffered a defeat this time.

Although he wasn't as obsessed with the Jingcheng University lecture gala invitation as Qi Lingshan was.

After learning that this spot went to Da Xu Culture, Mou Jun also felt regretful and envious.

After all, the number of lecture gala spots was limited; there were only a handful in the entire Great Xia.

Therefore, almost every spot represented the pinnacle of its respective industry.

This kind of recognition rarely appears, representing the external authoritative institutions' acknowledgment of one's level of expertise.

Take, for example, the yearning Qi Lingshan.

He was hoping to win the title of 'King of Horror Films' to get a chance to attend this gala.

But if he could attend the gala inherently, the title of 'King of Horror Films' would instantly become meaningless.

Because there would be no need to compete.

Receiving an invitation of this caliber implies that you are the 'Uncrowned King' of that field.

It is a pity that the person who received this great honor was not Qi Lingshan.

But rather Our CEO Xu of Da Xu Culture.
