"Damn it! These ignorant people actually think that Xu is better than me, but this time I will prove myself."
Zhao Fan's face darkened upon seeing the online comments.
Because he discovered that most people had mindlessly labeled him a 'traitor'.
It seems that leaving Daxu Culture was a stain on Zhao Fan's reputation.
Thinking about this, Zhao Fan felt a tightness in his chest:
"I was able to make the box office hit 'Crazy Stone' without any guidance from anyone; it was all a result of my own abilities."
Daxu Culture at most provided me with a platform, and it was an exchange of interests between the two parties. Why should I be loyal to it?
Moreover, with "Crazy Stone" grossing 500 million yuan, I, the one who contributed the most, didn't even receive 10 million yuan. How unfair!
The thought of receiving only a paltry one million yuan in so-called bonus made Zhao Fan clench his fists.
Indeed, one million is not a small amount for ordinary people, but it's worth noting that "Crazy Stone" grossed five hundred million at the box office.
Even if he only takes one percent, that's five million.
...
At this very moment, the people at Daxu Culture were also filled with indignation:
"That damned scoundrel, I knew he was a scumbag when I saw he was going to switch jobs, and now I know I was right."
"Yes, if you made any other movie, we wouldn't say anything, but now you're making a 'Kung Fu Legend'?"
Before leaving Daxu Culture, the guy surnamed Zhao knew that our CEO Xu was making a kung fu film; he had even read the script…
"A despicable person, a complete scoundrel, utterly disgusting!"
"I hope this villain's box office flops; that would be truly satisfying. May our box office be a huge success..."
...
As the producer, Feng Xiaoxia was clearly not in a good mood either.
Looking at President Xu across from him, who seemed completely unaffected, he finally couldn't help but say:
"Mr. Xu, should we issue a statement or something? The other party's behavior is outrageous!"
Xu Lu smiled and waved his hand, saying nonchalantly:
"Never mind that. By the way, I have a few original soundtracks that were used in Kung Fu. You can release them at a later time."
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia's expression changed from sullen to overjoyed, and he said:
"Huh? Mr. Xu, didn't you say before..."
"They're not songs, just soundtracks, but they're all good pieces."
Seeing the other person's surprised expression, Xu Lu had to offer an explanation.
"Okay, then!"
Feng Xiaoxia calmed down considerably, nodded, and then said:
"By the way, Mr. Xu, our 'Kung Fu' is scheduled to be released on July 5th, but because it's the prime summer season, the competition will be fierce."
Besides the "Kung Fu Legend" from Moluntian Films, there are several other films that are currently gaining popularity, all produced by well-known directors or large companies in the industry.
Everyone's goal is very clear: to compete for the top spot on the box office charts during the peak holiday season. I still remember last summer's top-grossing film, which grossed over 1.8 billion yuan..."
Xu Lu nodded.
The total box office of 1.8 billion is still quite strong.
Because the total box office of the movie he made last year, 'Summer Fall', was only 1.5 billion.
Moreover, they chose a less popular release date, so there was much less competition.
The top-grossing film during the summer season was one that fought its way out from a field of strong competitors, so it's easy to imagine how much more difficult it would be to reach 1.8 billion yuan at the box office.
"Mr. Xu, what are your expectations for the box office of 'Kung Fu'?"
Feng Xiaoxia suddenly asked out of curiosity.
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Before the release, I didn't really think about specific figures. I'll try to break 1 billion. If it goes any higher, it depends on whether the audience will buy into it."
This answer actually satisfied Feng Xiaoxia quite a bit.
After greeting Xu Lu, he went to deal with the original soundtrack, hoping to increase the publicity as much as possible, which could eventually translate into box office revenue.
All the effort was worth it for the sake of a billion.
So in the afternoon, the original soundtracks, including "The Little Knife Society Overture," were uploaded to Fireworks Music.
It was just a few original music tracks, so it shouldn't have caused much of a stir.
Unfortunately, this thing was posted under Xu Lu's account.
So fans who were still listening to "Jianghu Xiao" and "Those Flowers" quickly discovered this.
Amidst their surprise, the crowd began to discuss among themselves:
"Hey, didn't that streamer say there wouldn't be any songs released this time? What, are you just saying one thing but doing another?"
"What a surprise! But why does the song title sound a bit strange? 'The Little Knife Society Overture'..."
"Is this the music that appears in the movie 'Kung Fu Hustle'? Let me feast my ears first, hahaha."
"Hmm, something's not right. Where's the song? It's all music, why isn't the streamer singing?"
...
Soon, the fans listening to the song noticed something was wrong.
They were so surprised that they didn't realize this was just the original audio, and they were even looking forward to Xu Lu singing.
But when they finished listening, they realized there was no song, just the original music!
But... even the music in Genshin Impact is really good.
Soon, sensible people had already gone to the live stream comment section to promote it:
[Guys, hurry up and listen to the new song the streamer released... oh no, I mean the movie soundtrack, it's fucking amazing!]
Didn't the streamer say before that there wouldn't be any new songs released this time?
