Those who care about Xu Lu are a little confused and worried about his 'mysterious actions'.
However, some unscrupulous individuals, upon learning of this news, began to have their own schemes hatched.
On Xia Lifeng Film and Television's side, Xiong Tang felt as if he had been relaxed for two months. At first, he didn't know why, but after hearing the news, he came to his senses. It turned out that he hadn't heard from that kid surnamed Xu for the past two months. No wonder he felt so relaxed. Now that he heard news about him, Xiong Tang's heart tightened instinctively, because he thought he was about to hear something heartbreaking. Fortunately, after hearing the complete news, he couldn't stop smiling:
"Hahaha, that kid must have lost his mind this time. Is he trying to flatter someone, so he's ended up with such a hot potato?"
Even a fool knows that this kind of public welfare theme is the most difficult to handle. If you can push it away, you'll push it away. Nobody will actively try to get involved in this because there's nothing good about it at all.
Even if you do a good job, no one will thank you. On the contrary, if you do a bad job, trouble will follow. You're still too young!
Xiong Tang shook his head smugly. In fact, Xia Lifeng Film and Television had also received news about the 'anti-gambling theme', but he simply made an excuse to turn it down.
Filming a public service announcement? Are you kidding me!
I'm not rich and have money to burn, so why would I make something that won't do well at the box office and is extremely boring? Absolutely not!
But Xiong Tang didn't expect that when he turned around, he would hear that Da Xu Culture was going to film this subject matter, which made him very happy.
After all, it's hard for Xiong Tang to see their old rival, Da Xu Culture, suffer a loss. In the past, they had high expectations but also great disappointments.
This time, the kid surnamed Xu jumped into the pit himself, and Xiong Tang felt that if he didn't watch the show, it would be a waste of his previous injuries!
"Go ahead and film, film as much as you want. You even dare to touch public welfare themes. I have to say that the kid surnamed Xu is really audacious. Does he really think he is invincible?"
"That's fine too, just wait and see. If this subject matter isn't sold at the box office after it's finished, then we'll be laughing our heads off, hahaha, I really can't wait!"
...
On the other side, Zhao Fu also frowned after hearing the news. Although he had completely admitted defeat, he was still quite concerned about Daxu Culture.
"That shouldn't be the case. Director Xu isn't exactly a novice, so why would he take on such a hopeless project? Or does he have other motives?"
"I just don't understand. With Daxu Culture's current size, there's no need for them to curry favor with others. So, was this decision a mistake?"
Zhao Fu thought to himself.
Because if this were the case, he would absolutely never make a public service-themed film like this. It would generate no buzz and no box office revenue, which would be a huge loss!
Why not just make a comedy? It's simple and profitable. Isn't that much easier than making some anti-gambling public service movie?
Of course, because Zhao Fu had 'lost' to Director Xu many times before, he was suspicious but dared not draw a conclusion directly.
After all, as a perennial loser, his morale had been completely shattered in the previous 'battles'.
Of course, he secretly hoped that the previously invincible Director Xu would stumble this time.
That would be a great opportunity for Zhao Fu to boost his confidence.
With this in mind, Zhao Fu decided to continue to follow up on the situation. In any case, according to his opinion, anti-gambling themes were definitely not easy to film.
Thinking of this, Zhao Fu had a thought and thought to himself:
"We all have two shoulders and one head. I don't believe he can make a good film about a public welfare theme. If that's the case, I... I'll quit the film industry!"
...
Meanwhile, in a large mansion, a young man's expression suddenly changed, and he said:
"What? Xu Lu is also going to film this anti-gambling public service project? Why is he getting involved in this mess all of a sudden?"
"Brother Min, I don't know the specifics either. I hadn't heard that Daxu Culture was going to make a film on this subject before, but yesterday there was news that someone surnamed Xu was also going to make one!"
The person speaking to the man shook their head and offered an explanation.
The young man called "Brother Min" turned cold and said in a deep voice:
"This guy is always here. We were just making a charity film to win an award, and this guy showed up to join in the fun. Damn it!"
It's no wonder that "Brother Min" is angry. In fact, public welfare themes are difficult to film and hard to sell at the box office, so big companies basically don't want to touch them.
However, for some people with special purposes, shooting public welfare-themed films is a shortcut and a channel for rapid advancement.
In the past, when this kind of public welfare theme was proposed, neither large companies nor small companies would make it, and then it would be the turn of people like "Brother Min" to take it on.
Because there is little competition, you can often win an award simply by submitting your work.
In other words, they weren't aiming for box office success, but rather for awards and the associated benefits.
After taking on this project, "Brother Min" already felt that his future was bright.
After all, as long as there's no competition, even if you make a complete mess of it, you can still win an award.
But to 'Brother Min's' complete surprise, things suddenly took a turn for the better.
Surprisingly, news came from Daxu Culture that someone surnamed Xu was also going to make a film on this subject.
This almost made "Brother Min" explode with anger.
Why don't you big company people just stick to making money-making movies instead of trying to steal our jobs?
Does Mr. Xu really think he can make a lot of money at the box office with a public service film like this one about anti-gambling?
"Brother Min, what do we do now? Should we continue filming?"
Seeing 'Brother Min's' rapidly changing expression, the person next to him hesitated before asking a question.
"Brother Min" gritted his teeth and said:
"Shoot it? Of course we'll shoot it! Do you really think that films with public service themes like this win awards based on their quality? You're wrong. Awards are all about personal connections!"
"But...won't that cause some trouble?"
Others were a little worried.
"Brother Min" laughed at that moment and said:
"What trouble could there be? By then, everyone's films will be public service announcements, and they won't make much at the box office. So, won't the organizers decide the quality?"
Upon hearing this, the man next to him brightened up and quickly said:
"Brother Min, I remember now, isn't your uncle...?"
"Brother Min" immediately waved his hand, interrupting:
"Ahem... Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's focus on preparing for the movie. We've got this award in the bag."
