"Director Xu's presence on our program today makes the entire studio feel honored! Welcome, Director Xu!"
The female host spoke with a beaming smile, showing the utmost welcome to Xu Lu's arrival.
The audience below applauded enthusiastically.
People have expressed great curiosity about this director who was able to make 'Kung Fu Hustle', 'Summer Fall' and 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'.
Although Xu Lu still appears as the lead in various works.
But clearly, for the audience, the feeling of seeing it in the film is completely different from seeing it in reality.
"Hello, host! Hello, audience!"
Xu Lu smiled and casually greeted him.
To be honest, he didn't actually intend to participate in any program.
But unable to resist Feng Xiaoxia and the others' persistent pleas, they eventually had no choice but to come.
This is partly to promote Da Xu Culture and partly to boost the box office of "Kung Fu".
That's why he's appearing in this live-streamed program studio today.
After Xu Lu sat down, the female host smiled and said:
"Director Xu, let me introduce you. Besides you, Mr. Wu Yue is also a guest here today. Mr. Wu is a film and television expert with in-depth knowledge of all types of films..."
The beautiful lady next to me is Ms. Zhao Xiaomeng, a well-known producer and executive producer in the industry.
She has produced many excellent works, and recently she has also imported several box office hits from abroad... and the one next to her..."
As the host introduced them one by one, Xu Lu finally understood the backgrounds of the other people sitting on the stage.
He nodded, which was his way of greeting the guests.
It's clear that the main topic of today's live broadcast is Xu Lu.
So soon, the host led the discussion to the currently showing film 'Kung Fu Hustle'.
And with a smile, he asked Xu Lu:
"Director Xu, as we all know, Kung Fu Hustle's current box office has exceeded four billion, surpassing the current number one film on the all-time box office chart in China."
So what are your expectations for it?
Also, when you were creating this work, did you ever imagine it would reach such heights?
Everyone present was very curious about this question.
Four billion yuan at the box office! That's an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
If an average person saves 100,000 yuan a year, it would take them 40,000 years to accumulate that amount.
That's a long time; enough for human civilization to redevelop seven or eight times over.
Even for large companies, a net profit of four billion yuan a year is quite astonishing.
However, with our director Xu, he earned 4 billion yuan with just one film, and that's not even the final total box office.
...
Seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes, Xu Lu thought for a moment and said:
"To be honest, before Kung Fu Hustle was even released, the company's producer asked me about the box office."
He asked me what my box office expectations were for Kung Fu. At the time, I said that if the movie grossed over a billion, it would meet my expectations…
A producer surnamed Feng, who was watching the live stream at that moment, immediately burst out laughing.
He really didn't expect that President Xu would remember such a small matter, but he was also quite curious about President Xu's own views.
Soon, Xu Lu, appearing on the live stream, began to talk more, saying:
"However, I didn't expect Kung Fu to reach this box office height."
When we were filming, I just wanted to make it as good as possible and do a good job in every aspect.
We can't let the audience pay money only to see a bad movie.
In fact, looking back now, we realize that we've done enough...
"It's not just good enough, it's absolutely fantastic!"
Director Xu, those who have seen your film "Kung Fu Hustle" should all agree on this point: there are just so many outstanding characters in your film, each one so unique..."
The host didn't hold back her praise, and soon changed the subject, saying:
"However, those films that were released at the same time as Kung Fu Hustle have all been very unlucky. With a film like Kung Fu Hustle pulling in such a strong box office, it's quite difficult for everyone to survive, Mr. Xu."
In response, Xu Lu shrugged and said:
"This is something I can't control either; it's just that the audience has been too supportive."
I would like to suggest that those who have already seen it once should not buy tickets to see it again.
After "Kung Fu Hustle" is taken off the screens in theaters, you can watch it directly on "DaXu Video Network"!
Upon hearing this, Liu Mingqian, general manager of Daxu Video Network, who was also watching the live stream, breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought to himself:
"It was all worth it after all that pleading with Mr. Xu for so long. He finally kept his word and agreed to give DaXu Video Network some advertising. That's great!"
Upon hearing this news, both those at the scene and those watching the live stream laughed.
Generally speaking, a film director is more afraid of a film having a low box office than a high one.
But this Director Xu is different; he actually told people not to buy two tickets and go to see the movie twice.
That's really bizarre!
Even the female host was stunned for a moment after hearing this before she said:
"Director Xu is indeed different from others. Let's talk about the films released around the same time as 'Kung Fu Hustle.' 'Shanghai Fortress' probably had the worst box office performance, and the online reviews for it were also quite negative..."
