For the next few days, Xu Lu focused his attention on researching 'faith value'.
However, because they were feeling their way across the river, they didn't get any clues.
On the other hand, the promotion of 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' went exceptionally smoothly.
After all, Director Xu holds a high position in the film and television industry, and comedy is his forte, so netizens are quite looking forward to it.
So without any setbacks, the film 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' is scheduled to be released this Friday.
The much-discussed "Life Comedy" directed by Zhao Fu is scheduled to be released on Sunday.
In fact, as a director, Zhao Fu was determined to compete with Xu Lu.
He certainly wanted to release his movie on Friday.
However, when he made this suggestion, the investors refused to agree no matter what.
Don't be fooled by how readily Zhao Fu gave money before; that's because investors saw he still had the ability to make money.
But if we agree to his suggestion to set the movie's release date for Friday, wouldn't that be throwing away money?
Therefore, investors will absolutely not agree.
Moreover, now that the film has been made, Zhao Fu's importance has greatly diminished, and his influence has also decreased.
In the end, they had no choice but to agree to the investors' decision.
In fact, Zhao Fu did manage to secure some rights.
According to those investors, the plan was to release "Life's Great Comedy" and "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang" a week apart.
This way, the impact of "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang" on the box office of "The Great Comedy of Life" can be minimized.
But Zhao Fu absolutely refused this time.
Unfortunately, the investors had to make some compromises, which resulted in the current situation where the release dates of the two films are two days apart.
"These guys are such cowards. When they see Xu Lu, they're like mice seeing a cat."
"It's just setting the release dates to the same day, and they can't even be that bold? I'm ashamed to be associated with these people."
Although the release date had been set, Zhao Fu was not convinced.
At this moment, he was also secretly fuming:
"It's such a pity. I could have competed with that guy surnamed Xu this time and shown him that I'm no worse than him in the field of comedy."
However, now that their films are released at different times, the comparison isn't as obvious.
Zhao Fu was frustrated, and the investors were actually quite frustrated too.
At the time, they didn't take Zhao Fu's complaints seriously.
Thinking that the other party could bring benefits, they readily provided the investment.
But what these investors didn't expect was that this guy surnamed Zhao wasn't just talking the talk, but actually walking the walk.
Just to compete with Director Xu, this guy deliberately made sure his film wrapped up at the same time as Xu's.
They even went so far as to want to set the release date on the same day.
The investors realized something was wrong and quickly stepped in to stop it.
"This Zhao Fu must be crazy. He made a few films that did well at the box office, does he really think he's omnipotent?"
Who is Director Xu? His film *Kung Fu Hustle* grossed over 5 billion yuan at the box office. How could you, Zhao Fu, compare?
"Yeah, I didn't expect this guy to be so cocky, it really startled me."
If we let him set the release date on the same day as everyone else, then this investment will probably be a complete waste!
"Yes, even if the release date of 'Life's Great Comedy' is postponed by two days, I still won't feel at ease!"
Director Xu's box office success is terrifying; Zhao Fu is no match for him.
"There's nothing I can do. I really didn't know this guy was so unpredictable. I'll never work with him again."
...
"Yes, a person who can't find their place in the world, no matter how capable they are, will eventually stumble."
"That's right, that's right. Besides, we're in the industry, who would want to offend someone like Director Xu?"
It was Zhao Fu who almost dragged us all into this mess this time, really…”
"Forget it, let's not dwell on it. Let's see if his film can achieve the 1 billion yuan box office he promised!"
"If this person can gross a billion yuan at the box office, then he's worth our investment; if not, we'll have to abandon him."
...
On the other hand, Director Xu's fans are also eagerly awaiting the film's release:
[Director Xu is really efficient! He had a showdown with Lu Yucheng halfway through, but it didn't delay the film's release at all.]
Hahaha, what Lu Yuchen? He's just a nobody. Of course, he can't affect Director Xu's schedule.
To be honest, after seeing those behind-the-scenes clips released in the promotional materials, I've been looking forward to this movie for a long time.
[That's right, after all, this is director Xu's forte—comedy—so it's definitely worth our anticipation.]
[By the way, what about that director Zhao Fu? Wasn't he all talk and no action before? Does he really dare to compete with our Director Xu this time?]
...
I've found out that Zhao Fu's 'Life's Great Comedy' will be released two days later than Director Xu's.
Actually, this guy wanted to release it on the same day, but his investors didn't have confidence in him, so it was postponed.
Zhao Fu must be incredibly frustrated. He was so confident, but the investors didn't believe him.
"That's right, I heard he almost had a falling out with his investors."
The investors, seeing his audacity in daring to go against Director Xu, were all incredibly frustrated.
