The moment these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded:

[The streamer is going to make his own movie? That's a huge step for him, hopefully he doesn't mess it up...]

[Host, although we all know you're an actor, making movies and acting in movies seem to be two different things, right?]

[Yeah, even though you're loaded, movies can be a bottomless pit if you lose money.]

[That's right! Can't we just keep making short videos? Why do we have to keep going through all this trouble?]

I really like your boring series; you could keep making them forever and let movies just disappear...

...

I think it's a good thing that the streamer has ambition, but I guess most of the film industry is losing money these days?

That's right. All people see are movies that make a fortune, but that's just the surface.

People only see the thief eating meat, but they don't see the thief getting beaten up. Movies are the same; most of the time, they lose money.

[Um... there's something you might not know: it seems the streamer has been blacklisted by their agency!]

Just as many netizens were puzzled by Xu Lu's decision to make a movie, someone in the comments suddenly said the above sentence.

Everyone was a little dumbfounded:

[Really? I was wondering why the streamer has been logging on so punctually every day lately!]

[Wow! They've been blacklisted! That's terrifying! Apparently, this is the most severe punishment an artist can receive...]

No wonder, no wonder. I felt something was off from the short videos the streamer was making back then.

Now that I hear this, it dawns on me: the streamer definitely doesn't have the resources of a talent agency, which is why she's doing all this on her own.

[By the way, isn't the streamer signed with Boss Yang? How come...]

"Hey, you don't understand. Mr. Yang is just a director of that agency; his power is limited."
