Once this topic was started, the other guests finally found a chance to chime in.
Otherwise, like just now, Xu Lu monopolized all the topics, leaving the others to just sit there doing nothing.
Xu Lu, meanwhile, was enjoying some leisure time and decided to take it easy for the rest of the day.

Oh, by the way, a word of advice to those in the industry: please don't go making sci-fi movies anymore, you really can't do it well!
