It took some time to explain... no, to deceive, before the curiosity of the crowd was finally dispelled.
Everyone was curious about what Xu Lu had been doing during his month-long absence.
Keep in mind that a whole film crew is waiting for him right now, so you can imagine how much he spends every day.
Of course, for a large and well-established company like Daxu Culture, this amount of expense is still affordable.
"Xu Lu, you didn't go into hiding for a month just to grow this beard, did you? Don't you know that beards can actually be made up with makeup?"
Other people are easily fooled; they believe whatever Xu Lu says.
Even if they didn't believe it, they didn't dare to ask any further.
But Dilraba didn't care about all that and quietly asked again.
Xu Lu glanced at the girl, whose curiosity was overflowing, and said in an annoyed tone:
"Don't meddle in adult matters, kids. Have you thoroughly read the script? Have you memorized your lines?"
"I've already memorized all of this. I've read the script over and over again in a month."
Besides, you're the one who's a child!
After replying for a couple of minutes, Dilraba came to her senses and said angrily.
However, this also dispelled the girl's desire to press for more details.
Judging from Xu Lu's current behavior, it's unlikely that you'll get anything out of him by asking.
Having spent so much time together, Dilraba has this much understanding.
With Director Xu joining the project, the 'Iron Man crew' officially got started.
After a hasty opening ceremony, almost everyone quickly got into filming mode.
Perhaps this month's delay wasn't entirely wasted.
At least in terms of the script, all members should be extremely familiar with it.
This also dispels the doubts from the outside world about whether Daxu Culture will continue to make science fiction films.
"I really didn't expect this. A month has passed, and I was mentally prepared to hear that Daxu Culture had given up on making sci-fi films. I didn't expect it to start so suddenly!"
"Yes, to start filming a science fiction movie at this critical juncture, Da Xu Culture does have some guts."
"Actually, I don't think this is a good decision. It would be better to stop it after the heated discussion has subsided."
"Yes, everyone has already had their doubts. If we start it again now, and the box office flops, it will be a waste of effort and make us look like a huge victim."
...
While those in the industry were surprised, most were not optimistic about it.
Of course, some people with ulterior motives were overjoyed when they heard the news.
For example, Zhao Fan, who has had nothing to do for a month recently.
He had been waiting for over a month and had already given up hope of whether Da Xu would even make a sci-fi film. He had secretly cursed Da Xu countless times.
But when he suddenly heard the news that the 'Iron Man film crew' had started, Zhao Fan thought he was hallucinating.
Once he came to his senses, he instantly became invigorated:
"Great, that's really great! Xu Lu, I thought you'd gotten smarter."
But I never expected that after more than a month of delay, we would go back to the old ways. This was such a big surprise!
"Hurry up and film it! Once this 'Iron Man' movie comes out, that's when I, Zhao Fan, will make my comeback!"
Director Wu was also filled with anticipation.
Although the hype surrounding "Shanghai Fortress" has died down, he still has no interest in filming.
It's just that their situation is slightly different from Zhao Fan's.
Zhao Fan wanted to act, but no one offered him the opportunity, while Wu Leilei had someone offering him acting roles, but he didn't want to.
However, both of them had the same 'problem': they wanted to see Da Xu Culture start filming its sci-fi movie.
Upon finally hearing this good news, Wu Leilei almost jumped up in surprise, his whole body gradually regaining its energy.
"Keep filming, keep filming! When your sci-fi movie is released, the audience will know that I, Wu Leilei, am not a bad director."
"I've directed many critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, so why do these audiences only remember me for making 'Shanghai Fortress' now?"
Actually, there is another person who has always been very 'concerned' about Daxu Culture, and that is Zhao Xiaomeng, who was criticized by Xu Lu on the live broadcast.
She had long been secretly competing with Da Xu Culture in her heart.
They're obsessed with importing a few good science fiction movies from abroad, and then crushing the science fiction films produced by Daxu Culture.
When Zhao Xiaomeng heard that Daxu Culture's project had stalled, she felt like she had lost her purpose.
Hearing that 'Iron Man' is back online has given her renewed motivation:
"Don't let your reputation as a kung fu director fool you; if you dive headfirst into the quagmire of sci-fi films, you'll definitely end up looking disheveled."
And I want you to know one thing: never offend a capable woman. Women hold grudges much longer than men!
Xu Lu probably never expected that launching the 'Iron Man crew' would attract so much attention.
For the next period of time, he worked as both director and lead actor during the day, and went back to do research at night.
The main focus is on the Iron Man armor and the Arc Reactor.
Here, I must commend the amazing capabilities of the artificial intelligence 'Zhenweis'.
Because the villa, which had only been purchased not long ago, had its underground structure almost completely renovated in less than ten days.
