For some time afterward, the story of 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang' remained extremely popular.
The large number of moviegoers resulted in extremely high daily box office revenue.
Especially online, the comedy received very high praise, with many feeling that their expectations were well worth it.
Of course, Zhao Fu, who had previously boasted about competing with Xu Lu, has achieved rather unremarkable success in his "life comedy".
With daily box office revenue of ten to twenty million, it might not be taken off the screens immediately, but it simply cannot compare to popular films like "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang".
Because the box office figures for the two are ten times different.
That's right!
Not one or two times, not three or four times, but a full ten times.
It's possible that Zhao Fu's 'Great Comedy of Life' won't lose money, and might even make a small profit.
However, when placed next to 'Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang', it pales in comparison.
The industry currently estimates that the total box office revenue for "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang" will exceed 3 billion yuan.
Even if they only take 30%, Daxu Culture will still receive nearly one billion yuan in compensation, making a huge profit!
At this point, people in the industry were full of admiration:
"Director Xu truly lives up to his reputation; he's achieved a box office of 3 billion yuan with just one move. That's absolutely astonishing!"
"That's right. Most people probably wouldn't make that many movies in their entire lives."
But for director Xu Lu, it's just the box office of one film—one film, 3 billion!
"I'm so envious. If I had Director Xu's level of skill, I would probably be floating on air by now."
"Who can argue with that? But Director Xu still maintains an extremely high output rate, which is quite impressive."
...
"I originally thought that Director Zhao Fu could take over from Director Xu, but now it seems that he is still far from being able to do so."
"Yes, if you don't compare him to others, Director Zhao Fu is indeed not bad, but compared to Director Xu, he is far inferior."
"If you ask me, there's simply no one in the industry right now who has the ability to take over from Director Xu Lu. He's just too good."
To be able to stand alone in a class, a class unto itself—who can compare?
"And what's most impressive is that this director hasn't shown any weaknesses yet."
...
Industry insiders were astonished, while Director Xu's fans were overjoyed:
[It has to be Director Xu again! He's given us another hilarious comedy blockbuster; it was so funny!]
[I knew Director Xu wouldn't let us down; comedy is his forte.]
That's right. Filming sci-fi and horror movies before was just a 'neglect of our duties'.
Only comedy—that's what Director Xu built his career on; from the very beginning, he was known for comedy.
[By the way, why is that guy named Zhao Fu so quiet? Hahaha, it's hilarious just thinking about it.]
...
"That's right, that guy was shouting like crazy back then, I thought he was really strong."
Looking at it now, they're not even worthy of shining Director Xu's shoes; the box office numbers are just too bad.
"Ahem, to be fair, Zhao Fu is actually quite capable to break even."
However, compared to someone like Director Xu, who is skilled in everything, he's chosen the wrong opponent.
Did you guys notice that while Director Xu was competing with Zhao Fu, he also casually settled things with a minor Kalami in the music industry?
...
[I know, I know, isn't that Lu Yuchen? Now he's just a nobody singer.]
Hahaha, that guy was actually even more arrogant than Zhao Fu, but he fell down much faster.
He had previously encouraged his fans to cause trouble, but now even his fans don't recognize him.
I heard some female fans are planning to sue him; he'll probably have to spend a lot of money to avoid trouble this time.
There's not much to say, it's just dogs fighting. That guy's bad luck is that he messed with Director Xu.
...
"Little hero, what do you want? You're not here to urge me to make another movie, are you? No way!"
There's only a month left until Chinese New Year this year. I'm not taking any more photos before then, so let whoever wants to take them take them...
Seeing Feng Xiaoxia walk in with a 'seeking instructions' expression, Xu Lu quickly spoke up.
It's not that he's overthinking things.
The truth is, this guy had this expression every time he urged me to make a movie.
Having learned from his mistakes, Xu Lu decided to prevent the other party from bringing up the topic at the source.
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia felt somewhat embarrassed and quickly explained:
"Mr. Xu, you've misunderstood. I didn't come here today to urge you to make a movie."
Your "Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang" movie just premiered not long ago, and it's so popular, I would never rush you to release it now.
"The previous times, it was only because you hadn't made any moves for months that I gave you a slight reminder..."
"Stop, stop! What do you mean by 'a little reminder'? You're practically urging me on the spot!"
"Alright, since you're not urging me to make a movie, what's the matter that you came to see me about?"
Xu Lu asked with a relaxed expression.
Seeing that he was getting down to business, Feng Xiaoxia stopped joking and said seriously:
"Mr. Xu, it's like this, our company is now considered a big company, and the year is almost over. Do you think we should hold an annual meeting or something?"
Last year, our company didn't have an annual meeting, and I heard people privately wondering about it, because it seems like all other companies except ours have annual meetings.
