394: Xu Lu: As a time traveler, I haven't even copied a few poems. I'm really a bit incompetent.

Want to meet the head of the special effects team?

jervis doesn't even have a fixed body right now; it usually moves between various electronic devices, belonging to the 'comes without a trace, leaves without a shadow' type.

Therefore, Director Wu's request is destined not to be fulfilled.

Xu Lu smiled and said:

"Director Wu, I'd very much like to introduce the person in charge to you, but their team leader is extremely socially anxious.

Even I find it difficult to meet them normally; everything is communicated verbally, so..."

"I understand, I understand. Many capable people have their quirks."

Wu Leilei was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded and said:

"I was too abrupt, Our CEO Xu. Since they are socially anxious, let's not make things difficult for them.

This level of special effects is not something ordinary people can produce, and even if they could, it would take a lot of time.

So, we absolutely must not offend our company's special effects team..."

It was clear that Wu Leilei held this 'internal company' special effects team in very high regard.

Xu Lu nodded, then suddenly said:

"Although you can't meet them due to their social anxiety, Director Wu, if you have any requests, you can communicate with them via voice. I'll give you a number later."

"Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, Our CEO Xu!"

Wu Leilei's eyes lit up at the news, and he was so happy that his molars showed.

Xu Lu waved his hand, indicating 'it's a small matter'.

It truly was a small matter, after all, there was no real 'internal company special effects team'; it was just letting the Artificial Intelligence butler jervis talk to Director Wu.

Anyway, the current jervis is capable of 'multitasking', so dedicating a thread specifically for 'answering questions' is no problem.

Of course, for Wu Leilei, the significance was different.

He felt that Our CEO Xu introducing such a professional talent to him clearly meant treating him as a true insider.

Although the other party couldn't meet him due to social anxiety, being able to talk was already very good.

"Perhaps joining Da Xu Culture was the most correct decision of my life. Otherwise, how could I have such an opportunity?"

Director Wu sighed inwardly.

For sci-fi directors like them, the script is important, but special effects are equally important.

If a powerful special effects team can provide technical support, it will definitely achieve a qualitative leap for sci-fi movies!

...After sending off the overjoyed Wu Leilei, Xu Lu immediately relaxed.

He muttered to himself:

"Recently, the company has captain great xia parts one to three to film, and then Eddie Peng also has fleet of time.

After Wu Leilei's hulk 1 is released, I can arrange hulk 2 and 3 for him.

Lin Qiying already has several zombie film scripts ready to be filmed for a year or so, so there's no need to worry there either.

I just finished filming two youth campus dramas, so I don't need to rush to film new works for now, especially since there's a skill waiting to be upgraded."

That's right!

Our CEO Xu felt that a person shouldn't constantly work like a machine that only needs electricity and oil.

When it's time to balance work and rest, one must do so.

It's important to remember that even though 'those years' and 'my old classmate' were filmed very well, Xu Lu put in no less effort.

If other directors had come, it would have taken at least double or even more time to film these two plays.

But it's important to remember that during this period, Xu Lu was not just the chief director, but also the male lead of both plays!

The reason others saw Xu Lu filming two plays simultaneously with such ease was entirely due to his superhuman physical fitness.

However, since he worked so hard back then, Xu Lu now wanted to take the opportunity to rest a bit.

Coincidentally, the skill Unparalleled Literary Talent, obtained while filming to live, had not yet been truly unlocked.

So, for the next period, he felt he could explore the potential of this skill.

His intuition told him that this skill was definitely a super powerful existence.

But the prerequisite was that he could unlock enough permissions.

After all, despite his 'talent as high as five measures', he only gained five abilities: Photographic Memory, Night Vision, Paper Talk, Emanating Chapters, and Sharp Tongue.

What if he could reach 'talent as high as eight measures'? Or even 'talent as high as one stone'?

The abilities unlocked then would surely be heaven-defying!

"Through previous tests, I've learned several ways to acquire talent: writing songs, writing poems, writing essays... and also writing novels.

In short, as long as I publish something through similar channels that people praise or like, I can gain a certain amount of talent.

It's a pity that filmmaking isn't included, otherwise, I could gain talent and system rewards through movies simultaneously!"

Thinking this, Xu Lu shook his head.

He was still a bit too greedy. The human flaw of 'gaining one thing and desiring another' truly is universal.

After a brief sigh, Xu Lu pondered what method he should use next to acquire the 'talent' needed for 'upgrading'.

"Clearly, in terms of difficulty, plagiarizing ancient poetry and prose from my previous life is the easiest.

Next is releasing songs, and finally writing novels and such, as novels are mostly long-form."

Thinking this, Xu Lu had made up his mind:

"In that case, I'll start with 'copying poems'. This is the simplest and easiest, and it also best aligns with the Unparalleled Literary Talent skill.

Furthermore, the poetry and prose from Earth in my previous life are cultural treasures of humanity. Bringing these things over as a vessel is also a great merit.

Speaking of which, I've been a transmigrator in this world for several years, yet I've only copied a handful of poems and lyrics. I'm truly a bit derelict in spreading culture!"

After a secret self-deprecating remark, Xu Lu immediately called out to the empty hall:

"jervis, help me check if there are any poetry competitions or similar events in the country recently?"

"Okay, Our CEO Xu, I have found 37 poetry and prose competitions in Great Xia recently, according to your request.

Excluding some miscellaneous competitions, there are 3 relatively formal competitions: one for modern poetry and two for prose."

The Artificial Intelligence butler jervis had already 'possessed' one of the sweeping robots.

Xu Lu nodded and said:

"Tell me specifically about the format and relevant information for the modern poetry competition."

jervis immediately replied:

"Okay, Our CEO Xu, this modern poetry competition is an open submission model, jointly organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles... The modern poetry has a stipulated theme of 'love', requiring no plagiarism or referencing, otherwise..."

"Does this modern poetry competition have any connection with the Modern Poetry Association?"

Xu Lu suddenly remembered something and asked an extra question.

After all, he remembered that he had previously offended a certain president of the Modern Poetry Association.

He couldn't accidentally stumble into the enemy's lair.
