501: Music industry insiders: Better to die than lose a friend; may our brothers in the film and television industry pray for their own good fortune!
In fact, after the news from Da Xu Culture spread, it also brought a ray of 'hope' to industry insiders.
That's right!
The industry had been in a slump recently because all the films released during the Spring Festival holiday flopped at the box office.
As a result, most film and television companies are now very hesitant about whether to start new projects.
If they don't develop new projects, the company's staff will have no work and won't earn money.
But if they do develop new projects, they might not only fail to make money but even lose it.
It was at this time that Da Xu Culture made a high-profile announcement that not only were several internal company projects about to launch.
Even the industry-renowned Director Xu was recently preparing a new drama crew, which was good news for many industry insiders:
"It has to be Director Xu. He actually started a new drama without hesitation at this time. He's too confident."
"No choice, none of Director Xu's films have ever flopped at the box office; every single one has been a huge hit."
"Indeed, the only difference is between a small hit and a big hit. How exactly does he film them to be so powerful?"
"It's unfathomable. The difference between a genius and an ordinary person is greater than the difference between a human and a dog. How can you guess?"
..."In an industry downturn, it's a good thing that Da Xu Culture and Director Xu can step forward.
At least it can boost the atmosphere in the film and television industry and give other film and television companies a bit of confidence..."
"Isn't that right? You probably don't know that just yesterday, several stocks in the film and television industry rose."
"Speaking of which, why hasn't Da Xu Culture gone public yet? Otherwise, I would definitely buy their shares."
"Hehe, other companies go public to raise capital. Da Xu Culture doesn't lack money at all, alright?"
...Of course, not everyone praised Da Xu Culture's high-profile actions.
For example, at Xia Lifei Film and Television, Xiong Tang snorted coldly after hearing the news:
"Choosing to form a crew at this time, that kid sure knows how to make a name for himself."
One couldn't blame Xiong Tang for being petty; it was just that Xia Lifei hadn't been doing well recently.
Because their company also had a movie released during the Spring Festival holiday.
However, this year's New Year's and Spring Festival box offices were not strong, and predictably, the film flopped, which had greatly annoyed Xiong Tang recently.
At this very moment, seeing his old rival acting so high-profile, it would be strange if Xiong Tang were happy.
Moreover, both sides are competitors.
One side making more money means the other side makes less money.
It's like fishing in the same pond; it seems like there isn't much mutual influence.
But if one side uses a large net to catch eighty percent of the fish in the pond, the other can only fish from the remaining twenty percent.
However, tragically, Da Xu Culture is the one that can catch eighty percent.
In fact, besides Xiong Tang of Xia Lifei Film and Television.
Zhao Fu, who wanted to compete with Our CEO Xu for the title of 'King of Comedy' some time ago, was also very unhappy at this moment.
That time, the box office of Our CEO Xu's 'flirting scholar' directly crushed Zhao Fu's 'the great comedy of life'.
Then, our once high-spirited Director Zhao met with tragedy.
Not only did his film's box office flop slightly, but his reputation also deteriorated significantly.
Before, many investors were willing to invest in this rising Director Zhao's films.
But ever since his last competition failure, no investors have approached him until now.
And Zhao Fu himself is not like Our CEO Xu, who has enough funds to make films independently.
So now, he is in a state of 'unemployment'.
Zhao Fu had already attributed this matter to Our CEO Xu, and his hatred for Our CEO Xu was considerable.
Now, seeing that the other party is preparing to film a new drama while he is in a situation with no films to shoot, it would be strange if Zhao Fu wasn't angry with the comparison.
For example, at this moment, Director Zhao angrily slammed his water cup onto the table and cursed:
"I hope that kid's film flops this time, preferably losing everything. May the Buddha bless that!"
Of course, even Zhao Fu, who uttered the curse, felt that such a situation was probably difficult to happen.
So after cursing, he fell into his usual depression... In fact, besides Xiong Tang and Zhao Fu, many other relevant people also wanted to curse Our Director Xu to have bad luck.
It's a pity they don't have the ability of 'Qiankun Qi Observation'.
Otherwise, they would see that Our CEO Xu is now surrounded by a dense white aura, almost solidified, making it impossible for him to have bad luck.
On the contrary, at present, although he can't say that everything he wishes for comes true, things going smoothly is truly not a problem.
Oh, right, besides a bunch of guys hoping for Our Director Xu's misfortune.
There's also a group of people who are quite relieved about his preparations to make a movie.
Yes!
This group of 'old irons' are the relevant people in the music industry.
Since Our Director Xu is preparing a new movie, it means he won't be messing around in the music industry for a short while.
This made a large group of music industry insiders breathe a sigh of relief:
"Great, let that guy surnamed Xu go and mess with the film industry. Please, don't come and cause trouble in our music industry."
"Indeed, as long as he doesn't come to our music industry, everything is fine. I'll even support his new movie."
"That's right! I hope this guy makes more movies, preferably seven, eight, nine, or ten a year.
That way, he definitely won't have any extra time to mess with our music industry..."
"I support him making movies, but I still hope he doesn't do theme songs or anything like that. Otherwise, it's quite annoying."
..."That's true. I hope that guy surnamed Xu will just focus on making movies from now on and do more decent things."
"Hahahahaha, you're absolutely right. May the Bodhisattva bless him to only wreak havoc in the film industry.
Our music circle is too small; it can't accommodate that kid causing trouble here. We must be blessed!"
"That's right, let our brothers in the film industry bear more of the burden, and we can enjoy the blessings..."
"Better a dead friend than a dead me. That's so well said. May the fellow practitioners in the film and television industry take care of themselves!"
...The people in the music industry were jubilant about this news, and life suddenly became more enjoyable.
For them, as long as Xu Lu doesn't release songs, everything is fine.
Because from previous experiences.
As soon as Our Director Xu releases a song, the major music charts will definitely be in chaos.
So, music industry insiders are now extremely wary of this guy who can cross over and cause trouble... Of course, whether outsiders are willing or unwilling, happy or unhappy.
Our CEO Xu's side, the crew's formation is already in preparation.
And the first step in preparing a crew is, of course, character selection, especially the Female Protagonist.
In fact.
After the news spread, a large number of actresses in the industry approached him through connections, wanting to audition for this role.
However, until now, no candidate has appeared that satisfies Xu Lu.
