Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia was speechless, inwardly thinking:
"Mr. Xu, DaXu Culture is your company. How can you, as the boss, just disappear like that?"
Of course, Feng Xiaoxia kept these thoughts to himself; he wouldn't dare say them out loud.
Faced with the grumbling Mr. Xu, his mind raced, and finally, he thought of something and quickly said:
"Ahem, well... Mr. Xu, I forgot to mention, there is actually something at the company that needs your advice. Here's the thing..."
Xu Lu was just saying it offhand.
But he didn't expect that Feng Xiaoxia would actually find an 'excuse'.
After listening to the details of what the other party had said, Xu Lu pondered for a moment and then said:
"We can give this a try. Our Da Xu has never made a film on this subject before."
"Oh? Mr. Xu, you really intend to film this? I was just saying, you..."
This time, Feng Xiaoxia was dumbfounded.
He was just making an excuse for himself, but he didn't expect that President Xu would take it seriously. Now he's in big trouble.
Because the subject matter he just mentioned is a new type that Da Xu Culture has never tried before.
In fact, if he hadn't brought it up by chance, he felt that President Xu wouldn't have taken the initiative to take the photos.
But now, thanks to his mention of it, Mr. Xu in front of him has become interested.
Just as Feng Xiaoxia was about to offer some words of advice, Xu Lu spoke up directly:
"Alright, young hero, I've made up my mind, you don't need to try to persuade me anymore."
I'll give you the script in a few days, then you can start planning the production and other related matters!
After speaking, Xu Lu walked into the office that he hadn't been to for almost two months. Fortunately, although he hadn't come over, the office was always being taken care of, so there was no need to worry about it being covered in dust.
Feng Xiaoxia just stood there dumbfounded, feeling rather frustrated.
Someone nearby asked, and he said:
"Brother Feng, what are you standing here for? What did you just say to President Xu? You look so distracted."
Feng Xiaoxia sighed and said:
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that Mr. Xu is probably going to try a new theme again. Sigh, I really shouldn't have said anything!"
Hearing this, the others became even more curious and asked:
"Brother Feng, what kind of new subject matter is it that makes you so pessimistic?"
Feng Xiaoxia was even more frustrated, and said weakly:
"What else could it be? It's a charity project that came to the company a while ago. I casually mentioned it to President Xu, and who knew that President Xu would actually decide to make it!"
"What? President Xu has decided to film that public service anti-gambling project? Wow, that's really not good news!"
I've heard that none of the large film and television companies in the industry responded to the call, and in fact, neither did the smaller companies!
Those around them were also surprised.
Feng Xiaoxia nodded and said:
"That's right. I really can't understand why Mr. Xu would be interested in this topic."
My biggest worry is that he might be interested, but the audience might not be, and then it's all over.
...
There are no secrets in Daxu Culture.
The news that President Xu, who had been missing for nearly two months, would return to film an anti-gambling project spread quickly within the company.
For a moment, everyone was astonished:
"Wow! This is really big news! Why is President Xu interested in this kind of public welfare topic?"
"Yes, although I have a lot of confidence in Mr. Xu's directing skills, isn't this subject matter a bit boring?"
"I heard that basically no one in the industry was going to film this subject, but I didn't expect Daxu Culture to take the challenge."
"If you ask me, Mr. Xu, it would be great if you continued making comedies, or even 'A Chinese Ghost Story 2'."
...
"Perhaps our CEO Xu has his own ideas. After all, he's a top director in the industry, and we can't guess what he's thinking."
"Exactly. When Mr. Xu made a horror movie before, many people said it wouldn't work, but after it was made, who dared to say it wouldn't work?"
"I support Mr. Xu's decision. Let alone just an anti-gambling theme, even if it's a film with an animal as the main character, there's no problem at all!"
"Animals as the main characters? Wow, you must be a die-hard fan of President Xu..."
...
The news that Daxu Culture is about to produce a series of public welfare films on the theme of anti-gambling spread quickly, and those who care about our CEO Xu also learned about it.
Dilraba frowned, somewhat puzzled, and said:
"What is Xu Lu thinking? It's just a public welfare project, and it's only being promoted. Why are they so eager to take it on?"
Mr. Yang, who was standing nearby, was also puzzled, but he shook his head and said:
"Although I don't quite understand Xu Lu's thoughts, Da Xu Culture is now considered the largest film and television company in China, and every move it makes has a significant impact."
Xu Lu's decision to take on this public service-themed film is actually quite beneficial for DaXu Culture; the only concern was whether it would sell well at the box office.
"Yes, the average audience isn't interested in these kinds of public service films. If they flop at the box office, that would be a real problem."
Reba nodded and said:
"That's why I don't quite understand why Xu Lu did this. He could have taken the subject matter and let other directors in the company film it."
As the CEO of Daxu Culture, there's absolutely no need for him to personally direct something like this. I saw online that many netizens were asking him to direct "A Chinese Ghost Story 2."
...
On the other side, two pretty girls who had just joined Daxu Culture were also in shock.
"Hey, have you heard? What kind of 'anti-gambling' film is President Xu going to make next?"
I thought he would continue with "A Chinese Ghost Story 2," but now he's making an "anti-gambling" film. How are you going to play the female lead?
Lin Xiaoxin asked, frowning.
Wang Zuxian smiled and said:
"You wish! Who said I could be the lead actress in every movie? People like Dilraba and Liu Yifei don't always get the treatment of being the lead actress!"
Besides, what kind of film Mr. Xu wants to make is none of our business. If Mr. Xu wants to make an anti-gambling film, let him make it; I have no objection.”
Lin Xiaoxin said speechlessly:
"Group leader, can't you be a little more ambitious? You know you're the female lead in 'A Chinese Ghost Story,' which just grossed over 2 billion yuan at the box office."
"Given your current status, you should definitely strike while the iron is hot and push yourself to the top of the female star ranks. If you can land the lead role in two consecutive box office hits, everything will fall into place naturally."
Wang Zuxian nodded and said:
"What you said makes some sense, but who knows, if President Xu were to make this 'anti-gambling' film, he might choose me as the female lead?"
"What rumors have you heard?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoxin asked curiously.
Wang Zuxian chuckled and shook his head, saying, "No? I was just saying that, and you actually believed me?"
