500: Fans: From our perspective, it's truly agonizing to have someone as unambitious as Director Xu.

"The Female Ghost - Little Ghost, the Tree Demon - Old Demoness, the Black Mountain - Old Demon... it looks quite interesting."

Feng Xiaoxia stopped thinking about the 'Human-Snake Romance' and finally finished reading the script.

But he immediately asked the question he most wanted the answer to:

"CEO Xu, since you are directing 'a chinese ghost story,' will you also be starring as the protagonist?"

Xu Lu nodded and said:

"That's right! I will be playing the Male Lead, the scholar who collects debts."

Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"That's wonderful, CEO Xu. You might not know it, but many movie fans are looking forward to the release of your new film."

"Since you have confirmed that you will be starring as the Male Lead in this new production, we can finally give the movie fans an explanation."

Xu Lu glanced at the guy and suddenly said:

"Xiao Xia, I've given you all the projects you asked for. Why haven't you left yet? Do you have something else?"

Feng Xiaoxia was stunned and said:

"Uh, CEO Xu, I actually wanted to ask if this is the only project you've arranged for yourself? There aren't any others?"

Xu Lu waved his hand impatiently and said:

"It's already quite good that I arranged one project. How many more do you want, you rascal?"

"Go, go, go! Hurry up and leave! If you don't go now, I'll take this one back too!"

"Alright, alright, CEO Xu, I'll leave right away to help you set up the film crew!"

Seeing that there were truly no other projects, Feng Xiaoxia finally gave up, stood up with an apologetic smile, and left.

Although he really wanted to squeeze a few more projects out of CEO Xu, the other party was, after all, the boss, and he couldn't push him too hard.

Since CEO Xu only arranged one for himself, then one it is.

In any case, the company also has six or seven projects, enough to keep everyone at Da Xu Culture busy for more than half a year. It counts as a fruitful haul.

"But CEO Xu is right. The company needs to independently develop more projects and can't always expect to just take them for free from CEO Xu.

Even if CEO Xu is incredibly talented and can continuously provide good projects now, there will eventually be a day when he runs out."

After walking out of the office, Feng Xiaoxia secretly thought... "This kid is too greedy. Giving him one project isn't enough? Really..."

Watching Feng Xiaoxia leave, Xu Lu smiled.

But soon, he muttered to himself:

"But I really do need to find something to do for myself, otherwise the next period of time will be quite boring.

On the Spatial Pocket side, 'Buddha Kingdom in the Palm' cannot be upgraded in the short term, so I won't see many changes.

As for the 'Young Master Xu' alias, there's nothing much to focus on for now; just proceed step by step.

'battle through the azure sky' is over five million characters long. Even if I update 100,000 characters every day, it will still take forty or fifty days to finish."

Thinking of this, Xu Lu lightly tapped on the desk.

Then he set two small goals for himself.

The first small goal is, of course, to film 'a chinese ghost story,' the project he just handed to Feng Xiaoxia.

This way, he can obtain System Rewards.

To be honest, Xu Lu is always looking forward to what kind of skill he will ultimately acquire every time he shoots a new movie.

The other small goal is, naturally, to find time to create another novel.

When 'battle through the azure sky' is finished, the new novel can seamlessly go online.

The acquisition of faith value cannot be relaxed at all!

Just as Our CEO Xu set two small goals for himself and prepared to work hard,

On the other side, netizens who learned the news immediately burst into excitement:

"It wasn't easy. After waiting for so long, we finally got the news that Director Xu is going to shoot a new film."

"Exactly! Da Xu Culture took a whole month off for their annual leave.

They had a blast, but we were just depressed waiting."

"I heard Director Xu's new film is a horror romance genre. Seriously, what kind of bizarre combination is that?"

"Hahahaha, who cares what combination it is? Director Xu's films are always worth looking forward to."

..." 'a chinese ghost story'? That name sounds quite good. I wonder what the specific content is?"

"I'm quite curious who will play the Female Lead this time. Will it be Liu Yifei, Reba, or someone else?"

"Really? I heard that the Female Lead for this movie will be chosen through auditions, so it will probably be a newcomer."

"Is that true? I wonder which female Actor in the industry is lucky enough to be chosen by Director Xu..."

...The netizens were indeed pleasantly surprised.

But the most excited people should still be the fans of Our Director Xu.

Right now, in the live stream comment section, countless floors of comments had already been generated:

[It's rare! Director Xu has been resting for several months, hasn't he? He finally remembered his primary job.]

[Exactly! This guy is too neglectful of his duties, even taking a month-long annual leave for himself. Damn it.]

[Although from an employee's perspective, meeting a boss like Our Director Xu is truly fortunate.

But from our perspective as fans, meeting such an unmotivated director is pure torture.]

[I know, right? Ordinary directors offer nothing worth anticipating.

But for someone like Director Xu, I truly look forward to the release of every one of his works...]

...[a chinese ghost story? A horror movie plus a romance movie type? That makes me a bit confused.]

[Although I most look forward to Director Xu continuing to film the comedies he excels at, switching genres isn't necessarily a bad thing.]

[Hahahaha, the key is that whatever we say is useless, because it won't affect Director Xu's decision at all.]

[That's true. He previously filmed the now-exploding zombie film despite almost everyone's opposition!]

...[So, when it comes to making movies, Director Xu is the professional.

We should just choose to quietly support him, and not think we are better than Director Xu in the film industry.]

[That's absolutely right. I will fully support Director Xu no matter what type of film he shoots.]

[How about... we predict the box office for Director Xu's new movie? Ten billion or twenty billion?]

[Since it's Director Xu, let's start at ten billion yuan at the box office. As for whether it can go higher, it's really too hard to guess...]

...Actually, within Da Xu Culture.

The artists in the Artist Department were also incredibly excited when they heard Director Xu had a new project.

Everyone used all their connections, trying to find out the specific content of the project.

Originally, upon learning that the Female Lead would not be Liu Yifei or Reba—the two popular candidates—everyone's anticipation soared.

They hoped they could be noticed by Director Xu and instantly become the Female Protagonist.

But later, upon learning that the Female Lead for 'a chinese ghost story' would be chosen through auditions, everyone expressed considerable disappointment.

Fortunately, besides CEO Xu's project, Da Xu Culture has several other projects launching concurrently.

If the east doesn't light up, the west will.

Everyone shifted their focus to other films. If they could compete for the Female Protagonist role, they would; if not, Female Supporting Role was fine too!

All in all.

After Our CEO Xu handed out these scripts this time, the whole Da Xu Culture felt quite prosperous.
