Chapter 553 Xu Lu: Now that I've played one 'Knife-boy,' there will be countless more!



Unlike his usual composure, Feng Xiaoxia became somewhat nervous that evening.

This is a relatively rare emotion for him.

Because within the entire DaXu Culture organization, besides the calm and collected CEO Xu, he, the producer, was the most composed person in the past.

After all, Daxu Culture has produced so many blockbuster films, and none of them have ever flopped.

Feng Xiaoxia has great confidence in every film he releases.

This time, although he was confident, there was one slight difference: he himself was one of the two main characters in 'God of Gamblers'.

Even Producer Feng was starting to get restless.

He became extremely nervous as the box office figures were about to be released that evening.

After all... this was his first time acting in a movie.

It would be really embarrassing if the box office flopped.

It was far more embarrassing than watching my own performance in the movie theater.

Fortunately, the scenario Feng Xiaoxia feared did not occur, and the box office statistics were released after midnight.

'God of Gamblers' opening day box office: 93 million!

Upon seeing this data, the staff at Daxu Culture were both surprised and felt it made sense:

"Director Xu's influence is really too great. I didn't expect that a film that is supposed to be about public welfare would reach nearly 100 million on its opening day."

"Yes, but I feel that this movie is a very successful commercial film. It doesn't preach at all. Instead, it puts the moral of the story into the plot."

"That's right! It doesn't look obscure at all, and it feels quite refreshing."

"It's a pity there haven't been any good movies lately, leaving us all out here, which is a bit lonely..."

...

"Since the box office reached more than 90 million on the first day, we can expect the total box office to reach 2 billion."

"It's terrifying. There's probably no company in the industry that makes more money than us, just from making movies."

"Of course! 'A Chinese Ghost Story,' which was released two months ago, grossed over two billion, and now it's grossed over two billion again."

"It's only been less than six months. If they maintain this pace, they can make at least two or three more movies!"

"Hehe, this is just referring to Mr. Xu's personal products. The company has several projects underway at the same time."

...

"Congratulations, Brother Feng! You've already grossed over 90 million yuan on your first day as a lead actor. You're a big star now!"

"Exactly, Brother Feng is a big star now. His transition from behind the scenes to the forefront has been so successful..."

"In the industry, I guess only Brother Feng can be both a successful producer and a big star."

"It's somewhat similar to how our Director Xu is both a great director and a big star."

"Brother Feng, you have to treat us! From now on, you'll have to wear sunglasses when you go out, or the paparazzi will catch you..."

...

Everyone's attention shifted to Feng Xiaoxia, the newly minted 'big star'.

It was just a bunch of teasing and a request to treat him to a meal, and Feng Xiaoxia agreed to all of it.

At this point, he finally calmed down. Since the 'God of Gamblers' movie didn't flop at the box office, he was naturally no longer worried.

As for treating people to meals, that's nothing; it's not a big deal for our producer Feng's current income.

After a while of arguing, Feng Xiaoxia remembered that he needed to report the news to President Xu.

He quickly made a phone call:

The opening day box office figures for "Mr. Xu, God of Gamblers" are in. It's a bit of a pity that it only grossed 93 million, failing to reach 100 million...

"Young hero, you're being a bit greedy. Ninety million and you're still not satisfied? This is your first movie, it's already very good."

Across from them, Xu Lu's voice came with a laugh, and he continued:

"By the way, you're a big star now. When you go out in the future, you might encounter fans and admirers. Be careful to control yourself..."

Take a good rest this month. Next month, there's a 'God of Gamblers' movie waiting for you to play the lead role. Don't worry, this time you'll get a high salary..."

Upon hearing these words, Feng Xiaoxia was speechless.

Having young female fans is certainly nice, but continuing to act is still a lot of pressure for him.

He still vividly remembers the embarrassing feeling of seeing his own film in the movie theater.

Unfortunately, Feng Xiaoxia also knew this.

Mr. Xu had already decided on the God of Gamblers, Saint of Gamblers, and Knight of Gamblers trilogy.

Now that he'd already been tricked into playing "Knife Boy" in "God of Gamblers," it was obviously impossible for him not to play "God of Gamblers II."

...

Meanwhile, Xu Lu smiled after hanging up the phone, thinking to himself:

"I can sense that Xiaoxia is a little reluctant to play the role of the God of Gamblers, but it's okay, this kind of thing only happens once or countless times."

Now that you've played one "Knife Boy," there are countless more "Knife Boys" waiting for you to play, hahaha!

Our CEO Xu finds it quite interesting to drag people down with him, especially those close to him; that makes it even more amusing.

The movie I have, 'God of Gamblers,' has only just started filming, so 'God of Gamblers II' will have to wait at least another month.

That's why he just said that Feng Xiaoxia could get some rest.

After the rest period, filming for 'God of Gamblers' will naturally begin.

"However, I haven't claimed my reward for filming 'God of Gamblers' yet. I wonder what kind of skill the system will give me this time, preferably something powerful."

Otherwise, for someone like me who already possesses so many skills, skills that aren't particularly powerful aren't very appealing!

Xu Lu muttered to himself, originally because 'God of Gamblers' was filmed right after 'God of Gamblers,' with almost no gap in between.

So he had completely forgotten about the lottery, but when Feng Xiaoxia called to report on the opening day box office of 'God of Gamblers', Xu Lu instantly remembered it.

After all, in the past, he would listen to the box office figures of a movie and then come to the exciting prize draw.

If he hadn't remembered, Xu Lu wouldn't have cared. Now that he had, there was no need to choose an auspicious day or time to avoid having any worries.

He immediately looked at his attribute panel and clicked on the recent system messages:

[System Owner: Xu Lu]

Similar to the previous lottery, Xu Lu, already experienced, didn't hesitate much and spoke directly:

"Select Scene 2, the Multiverse Lottery Mode!"
