"Xu Lu, you're amazing! You were actually invited by Peking University to attend their lecture. That's incredible!"
On the other end of the phone, Reba said in a surprised tone.
Xu Lu smiled upon hearing this and said:
"It's just so-so, only Peking University. If it were anyone else who came to me, I might not have agreed."
After all, we're considered big-name directors now; our status is what it is, so we can't just agree to things casually.
"cut!"
Upon hearing Xu Lu's boastful words, Reba immediately expressed her envy, jealousy, and hatred.
But she quickly added:
"Oh right, it's great that you're coming to Kyoto. I'm quite bored here all by myself."
"Once you come over, you can spend a few days with me. I also want to introduce you to my good friend, as I mentioned before."
"Oh, I forgot you were in Kyoto too! No wonder you're calling me at this hour!"
Xu Lu suddenly realized:
"But we're going to Kyoto to do serious business, so we don't have time to mess around with you. Besides, don't you have to film variety shows?"
All you do is play around all day. I suspect that Xia Lifei's declining performance is largely due to the laziness of you artists. Who knows, you might even bankrupt Xia Lifei one day!
"It would be better if it went bankrupt. Then I'll come work for your Daxu Culture. You won't be unhappy with that, will you?"
Dilraba originally wanted to refute this.
But when she thought about how she would be free if Xia Lifei really went bankrupt, she actually hoped that would happen, so she asked again with anticipation.
It's just a pity, who is our CEO Xu?
He refused outright:
"No, no, no, at DaXu Culture, we only have hardworking and dedicated employees. We don't accept lazy and irresponsible people, so you should find another job!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Dilraba's voice rose several octaves as she angrily retorted:
"Xu Lu, you have no conscience at all. I'll have nowhere to go when the time comes, and you still want me to find another job. You're too cold-blooded and heartless."
I was even thinking of introducing you to my best friend; she really admires you. Now, I'll give you some more time to think it over and see if you want to take back what you just said!
"Hey, isn't your best friend pretty?"
Xu Lu smiled and suddenly said.
Reba felt a surge of crisis and quickly said, "She must be beautiful, but you can't make a move on her!"
"Alright, alright, whether someone is pretty or not isn't something you can just say for yourself. I'll know once I get to Kyoto and see for myself."
Xu Lu wasn't fooled at all, and said again:
"Besides, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. You have nothing to do, but I have plenty of things to do."
Since I've been invited to give a speech by Peking University, I should at least prepare a speech draft..."
"Xu Lu, are you sure you can handle this? The students from Beijing University are among the best in the humanities across the entire country."
Dilraba also didn't hold back in pouring cold water on the situation, saying:
"Don't make sure you can't write a good speech, or those high-achieving students will laugh at you."
Xu Lu chuckled and said irritably:
"Hehe, just you wait and see. Do you think I, a great director, can't even control a bunch of students?"
What a joke! After my speech, they'll definitely bow down to me on the spot…
After chatting for a few more minutes, Xu Lu ended his phone conversation with Dilraba and began preparing his speech.
After all, it was an invitation to give a lecture from Peking University.
As Reba said, the students there are already at a very high level, not to mention the presence of various professors, experts, and masters; we can't afford to make a fool of ourselves.
As Xu Lu himself said, if someone else had invited him, he might not have wanted to go. Otherwise, he would have directly rejected so many popular program invitations.
However, Xu Lu could not refuse the invitation from Beijing University, as he held great respect for institutions of higher learning like those in Daxia.
Moreover, it is said that they invited more than just him; several masters from various fields also received invitations.
It's fair to say that attending this lecture at Beijing University won't bring much exposure, but the level of prestige is quite high.
It's clear that Xu Lu's invitation to the lecture gala at Beijing University has garnered a lot of attention from people in the industry.
Because in the afternoon, Mr. Yang called.
"Xu Lu, what's wrong with you? You kept such a good thing from us."
If I hadn't just glanced at the news, I wouldn't have known you'd been invited by Peking University.
Mr. Yang, sitting opposite, was clearly surprised.
"Uh, this has become news? It's just attending a lecture at Peking University, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."
Xu Lu said, somewhat puzzled.
Boss Yang immediately said:
"Only you think so. All the other invited people have already posted updates on Weibo."
Xu Lu, I took a look, and it seems that you are the only director in the entire film and television industry who has received an invitation.
Moreover, this is Beijing University, one of the two most prestigious universities in Great Xia, on par with Tsinghua University.
Receiving such an invitation, aside from anything else, will elevate your social standing significantly…
From Mr. Yang's rambling words, it's clear that this invitation from Beijing University is indeed significant.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yang, for clearing up my doubts. I will immediately ask my assistant to post a message on Weibo and WeChat Moments to celebrate."
