"Xu Lu, the guy who messed with you is finished. I heard he has no resources left, and his company is planning to give up on him."
Moreover, rumors are circulating that some female fans are planning to sue Lu Yuchen; perhaps in a while, he'll be working at a sewing machine.
Dilraba excitedly told Xu Lu about it.
"Standing on a sewing machine? That can't be right. I only released one song. Where did it get such a huge impact?"
Xu Lu asked, somewhat puzzled.
Reba rolled her eyes at him and said:
"You only released one song, but this sparked a lot more."
When Lu Yuchen was still a big star, naturally no one dared to do anything.
But once the company abandoned him, naturally many people took advantage of his misfortune.
Especially female fans; they can be incredibly passionate when they like someone, but they can also be just as passionate when they hate a celebrity.
Reba paused at this point.
Suddenly she pointed her index finger at Xu Lu's shoulder and said:
"So Xu Lu, you absolutely mustn't mess with female fans, or you might end up like Lu Yuchen, getting sued by them..."
"Don't talk nonsense, girl. How could I be the same kind of person as that guy surnamed Lu?"
Xu Lu glared at the other person, annoyed, and said:
"Besides, the Lu family has brought this upon themselves, and I don't have that kind of habit."
"Hey, I was just saying, why are you getting so worked up? Are you feeling guilty? Are you?"
Dilraba joked and laughed.
Xu Lu shook his head speechlessly and said:
"Feeling guilty? What do I have to feel guilty about? Do you think everyone is like that guy surnamed Lu, whose mind is entirely on female fans?"
Please, for someone as ambitious as me, film is my true calling. Women are meaningless to me; they only slow down my filmmaking process…
Hearing this, Dilraba became somewhat sullen.
After all, women are complex creatures, and they certainly don't like men who are fickle.
But even facing a man who is detached from worldly desires, one probably wouldn't feel happy.
This explains the helplessness the Queen of the Women's Kingdom felt when she saw Tang Sanzang.
Quietly... I ask the holy monk... is my daughter... beautiful?
However, the holy monk preferred to lead a group of animals to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures rather than stay in the Women's Kingdom to become a prince consort.
Perhaps there was a moment when the holy monk was moved.
But compared to his great mission of obtaining Buddhist scriptures, women were as insignificant to him.
...
In fact, in Director Xu's recent film "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang", the protagonist, when faced with eight beautiful wives, was also thinking about "escaping the sea of fire".
Although the protagonist finally met Qiu Xiang, he used all his skills to infiltrate the Hua family mansion and eventually won her heart after overcoming numerous trials.
But when the story comes to its finale, after marrying Qiu Xiang, the protagonist Tang Bohu is horrified to discover...
It turns out that he had simply jumped from one sea of fire to another, from one cycle of reincarnation to a new one.
This scene, full of comedic effect, also made many people in the audience think deeply.
"It turns out that after the protagonist married Qiu Xiang, he realized that his understanding of her was only superficial."
So rather than saying I married a caring person, it's more accurate to say I added another woman to the family who plays mahjong.
"Is this what marriage is? It truly is the grave of love; the elders were right!"
"It's terrifying to think about. The girl you worked so hard to win over isn't as wonderful as you imagined."
"Is Director Xu's film really just a comedy? Why do I feel like it's serving as a wake-up call for men?"
...
"Holy crap, seeing that last scene gave me the creeps. Comedy? More like a horror movie!"
"It seems I should be more cautious about marriage, so I'll postpone the proposal next month for now."
"It's definitely like looking in a mirror. It feels like Director Xu is secretly watching my daily life. This is a true reflection of me."
"Honey, what did you just say? What description? What everyday life?"
...
Everyone present, especially the men, was in a daze.
Fortunately, Director Xu clapped his hands in time, interrupting everyone's reverie, and said with a smile:
"Alright, everyone, you've all worked hard lately! I hereby announce that filming for 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' has now wrapped up!"
Upon hearing this, a sparse round of applause finally broke out in the room.
However, because everyone was in low spirits, the applause was nowhere near as loud as it had been when previous films wrapped up.
Of course, these were outside Xu Lu's considerations.
He had no intention of giving these people a lesson on 'love and marriage'; they were just overthinking it.
...
Although there are still some post-production steps, including special effects, needed for 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang'.
But since this is a comedy, the post-production is much simpler than that of a science fiction film, so the publicity and distribution work can begin ahead of time.
Producer Feng Xiaoxia received the task early on and started working with great confidence, so Mr. Xu didn't need to worry about these things.
In fact, Xu Lu really didn't put his mind to publicity.
Since a movie has been finished, isn't it time for the system to distribute rewards again?
That was his original intention in making movies.
Working so hard as both director and actor, isn't it all for the sake of drawing good skill rewards?
Now is the time to enjoy the harvest, so Xu Lu has no mind to think about anything else.
So as soon as he returned to the villa, he immediately checked the attribute panel in his mind. The system information was already in place:
[System Owner: Xu Lu]
[Film appearances: Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang]
[Film Genre: Historical Comedy]
Overall film rating: S
[Character Contribution Rating: S]
[Due to the limited variety of skills required for this film, skills will be randomly selected from Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jingzhou, Zoroastrianism, and other related disciplines!]
Just like the previous two campus youth dramas, this one is clearly also a roulette-style lottery.
As expected.
As soon as Xu Lu had the thought, a familiar golden pointer wheel appeared in his mind.
[Spin the wheel now for a chance to win a prize?]
"Stop talking nonsense, start the lottery!"
Xu Lu gave the order with great enthusiasm.
In an instant, the wheel spun wildly, and the golden pointer swept across the areas for 'Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jingdezhen, Zoroastrianism', etc.
One new skill after another flashed by.
The time lasted for several tens of seconds.
Finally, the golden pointer stopped in the area where the character '释' was located.
"I just casually mentioned 'six senses being free from worldly desires' not long ago, and now I've won a Buddhist skill in this lottery? Is it really that weird?"
Looking at the scene before him, Xu Lu murmured to himself with a somewhat surprised expression.
