"Zhao Fu? He's going to challenge Director Xu Lu this time? I feel like he's overestimating himself!"
"Actually, Zhao Fu has made some good comedy films in the last year or two, but there is still a gap between him and Director Xu."
"Yeah, where did he get the confidence and courage to challenge director Xu Lu in comedy?"
"There's no way around it, there are always a lot of clowns in this world, and Zhao Fu is probably one of them."
...
"If you want to challenge director Hsu Lu, you should at least make a film that can rival 'Kung Fu' at the box office before you have the right to say such things."
"Indeed, I've watched Kung Fu Hustle many times. It's such a classic, and its box office record remains unbroken to this day."
"I think it's because Director Hsu Lu hasn't been making many comedies lately, so everyone has forgotten his terrifying box office raking ability, hahaha."
"That's right! Director Xu Lu should make more comedies. After all, he's really good at this genre, and I enjoy watching them too."
...
"The movie Zhao Fu made was called something like 'The Great Comedy of Life,' which sounds plausible."
And our director Xu's film is called 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang,' hehe, it's one of those nonsensical names!
"No matter what, this film is Director Xu's first comedy after 'Kung Fu Hustle,' so I will definitely support it."
"Supporting him is a must. Director Xu's films are generally reliable, after all, he hasn't made a bad film yet."
"It is said that the female lead in 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' is Gong Li, the female lead who was 'alive' last time..."
...
In fact, besides these netizens...
Most people in the industry don't think Zhao Fu can be compared to Xu Lu right now.
Although many people in the directing circle don't like Xu Lu, or even dislike him.
However, it must be admitted that this guy is currently unmatched in terms of box office revenue.
Especially in the comedy film genre.
Although Zhao Fu has performed well in the past two years, in the eyes of people in the industry, he is still far from reaching Xu Lu's level.
"However, it's good for young people to have ambitions and dare to challenge those who are stronger than themselves; that's the driving force for progress."
"Yes, if everyone is afraid to challenge stronger people, the entire directing industry will become stagnant."
"Zhao Fu's abilities are actually quite good among the younger generation of directors."
If he undergoes further training and refinement, he may have the opportunity to reach an even higher level in the future. As for now…
"Actually, let alone Zhao Fu, who among the veterans in the industry can compare to Director Xu Lu?"
...
"Hehe, this Zhao Fu is just like me two years ago, thinking he can compete with Director Xu."
But only after actually interacting with Director Xu did I realize how unfathomable his abilities truly are!
Director Wu Leilei, who is also in the industry, sighed upon hearing the news.
Two years ago, he, like Zhao Fu now, thought he was very strong in the field of science fiction films.
Then, he met Xu Lu, who was also releasing his sci-fi blockbuster 'Iron Man'.
Wu Leilei originally thought that his "Shanghai-Fortress" would definitely crush the opponent's "Iron Man", but the actual situation was quite the opposite.
Director Xu's "Iron Man" soared to new heights, even raking in huge box office revenue in the United States.
With his "Shanghai Fortress" completely ruined, Wu Leilei almost lost all chance to recover from this blow.
Later, he joined Daxu Culture, or rather, Director Xu, which led to his recent "re-emergence".
That's right!
Director Wu's recently released "Hulk" has been a great success, with box office revenue exceeding one billion yuan, making it a double triumph.
Furthermore, Da Xu has recently been arranging for the screening of "The Hulk" in the United States.
Clearly, this sci-fi film will be reaping box office profits in the US for some time to come.
This is something that other science fiction directors in China wouldn't even dare to dream of.
However, for Daxu Culture's science fiction projects, making money domestically is nothing; true success means making money from the United States.
This is clearly a fine tradition brought about by director Xu Lu.
...
[That kid dares to try and piggyback on Director Xu's fame? I think he's definitely just trying to ride on his coattails, no doubt about it.]
Yes, it's definitely riding the wave of popularity. Just think about Director Xu's dominance in comedy.
Unless Zhao Fu is an idiot or an egomaniac, what normal person would think that way?
Haha, guys, don't take it too seriously. Remember the importance of biodiversity.
That's true, but Director Xu definitely won't take them seriously...
...
Let's stop discussing Zhao Fu and talk about Director Xu's new film instead. What do you think the plot is like?
[It's supposedly a period comedy, but who is this 'Tang Bohu'?]
[I don't know, but I know this one is definitely a man, and 'Qiu Xiang' is a woman. Is it a romantic comedy?]
Director Xu's thinking is wildly imaginative; it's generally difficult for ordinary people to guess what he's thinking.
...
Yes, but why was Gong Li chosen as the female lead in the drama "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang"?
When she starred in 'To Live' last time, her acting skills were, needless to say, very good.
But 'living' is a tragedy, quite different from Director Xu's nonsensical comedies.
