Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 645: Chapter 643 ”The Hero” [5th Update: For Unquenchable Thirst! Bonus Chapter for 10,000 Rewards]

The big shots in the film and television industry also heard for the first time that Lu Xiaobu was going to create an award.

Their hearts immediately began to pound like crazy!

What is this Lu Xiaobu up to?!

Is he really planning to change the entire direction of the film and television industry, as he said?!

Lu Xiaobu’s moves are too ruthless!

This is basically cutting off their financial paths!

Just think about it, once Juelu website and Juetian awards both get started and complement each other, what kind of terrifying impact would that create?

By then, when a movie or TV series comes out, the audience won’t look at your advertising, nor at your actor’s popularity, but instead, they’ll go to the Juelu website to see reviews.

At that time, how will they make money from their movies and TV shows!?

If this really happens, Lu Xiaobu could truly say he has the power to overshadow the entire film and television industry!

If he says your production is good, then you can make money, but if he says it’s bad, then you’ll lose everything!

Don’t think this is just alarmist talk, it’s all possible!

After all, if there’s a big difference, naturally it’s nothing!

But what if it’s two movies released at the same time, and both are just about the same, one with a score of 5.5, the other 5.3.

The gap is small, right?!

But the revenue they bring could be worlds apart!

Now, don’t you call that the power to overshadow everything?!

Just thinking about that scenario terrifies them!

They want to stop it!

But it’s already too late!

”Alright, let’s leave it at that.”

Lu Xiaobu didn’t give them any chance to object, and directly walked off the stage.

The awards haven’t even been officially established yet, no need for any further ado, just laying the groundwork in advance!

Lu Xiaobu, along with the entire crew of ”Bright Sword” and all the awards of the Brand Blue Award, stylishly took their leave.

Leaving everyone at the venue staring at Lu Xiaobu’s retreating figure in a daze.

”Times are changing!”

Someone said this sentence at that moment, it was like a cold wind blowing into everyone’s hearts.

Sending shivers down their spines, they tightened their clothes!

Yes, times are changing!

Once Lu Xiaobu’s strategies are truly unleashed, all the lousy movies will face a devastating blow.

It’s very possible that there will never again be a situation where you can spend one hundred million, give seventy million to a trending young celebrity, invest twenty million in advertising, pay eight million in wages, and casually shoot the rest for big profits!

This is a complete eradication of those who have been feeding off of bad movies!

Lu Xiaobu is too ruthless!

He’s got too many tactics!

...

Lu Xiaobu couldn’t care less about what these people thought.

In any case, their thoughts have no effect on him, he will do what he has to do!

And at this moment, Principal Li of Emperor Electric School called.

”Hello, Principal, what’s up? Is it time for classes again?”

Lu Xiaobu asked.

”Class? What class are you talking about! You’ve done so wonderfully! You’ve accomplished what I have always wanted to do but couldn’t! No need to say more, I give you a thumbs up! Whenever you need me, just holler! I won’t delay!”

Principal Li said excitedly.

He had been looking forward to this day for so long!

”Do you need to be this excited?” Lu Xiaobu said with a smile, he had never seen Principal Li so stirred up before!

”Of course, it’s worth getting excited! You don’t know how long I’ve been worrying about this!” Principal Li, once he got started, was like a river bursting its banks, talking non-stop!

”As the principal of Emperor Electric School, I’m deeply aware of the current chaos in the Heavenly Dynasty’s film and television market!”

”Why are more and more people choosing to watch America’s and Korea’s TV dramas?”

”Is that what they really want to watch?”

”If our Heavenly Dynasty had good dramas, like the one you directed, ’Bright Sword,’ would they choose to watch foreign TV dramas?”

”I can tell you with certainty, they wouldn’t!”

”After all, if the audience truly idolized everything foreign, then why, after watching some fairly decent dramas, would they repeatedly urge—nostalgia! That’s nostalgia! At the very least, those productions are sincere, aren’t they?”

”Look, since when did sincerity, something that should be fundamental, become a luxury?”

”How sad that is!”

Listening to Principal Li’s words, Lu Xiaobu laughed and said, ”I hadn’t thought that far. I just don’t want to see nothing but trash films when I watch, you know, I don’t have grand ambitions; I just want to muddle along until death!”

”No no no! What I’ve said is not all of it!” Principal Li shook his head, speaking seriously, ”In today’s society, television dramas have increasingly become an important means for cultural output!”

”You remember Korea’s kimchi, don’t you? They keep promoting that culture through their TV dramas, right?”

”And the Swiss handmade watches, how many dramas are there promoting that culture?”

”It’s an honor for a nation’s culture to stand tall in the world, a national honor! And you, you are doing just that right now!”

When Principal Li reached this point, he had stood up, his eyes brimming with pride!

Having a student like Lu Xiaobu, who is responsible and dutiful, filled him, as a principal, with immense pride!

”Alright! Alright! The way you put it, you make me sound like some great hero or something!”

Lu Xiaobu touched his nose and smiled slightly.

Truth be told, hearing such high praise from Principal Li made him very happy!

With one more person acknowledging his approach, it brought him that much more contentment!

”By the way, I heard you’re starting a school, right? About our Heavenly Dynasty’s traditional culture?” Principal Li brought up another topic.

”Yes, that’s right, it’s in progress!” Lu Xiaobu nodded; it was no secret.

”Good, wait for a moment, I’ll think of a way to pull together some funds for you!” said Principal Li after some thought.

”No need. I can handle it myself!” Lu Xiaobu shook his head.

”What do you mean, no need! You really think this old man doesn’t know anything, don’t you! A property worth 28 billion, just the resettlement part alone you probably can’t handle, not to mention you’re building a school which is not expected to turn a significant profit! It’s a net loss!”

Principal Li’s voice became somewhat stern; this was the first time he showed his authority as a principal to Lu Xiaobu!

”Enough, don’t say more! I’ve made up my mind! I’ll think of a way to help. Maybe I can’t do much, but I can still be of some use!”

”By the way, once your school is built, save me a spot. It doesn’t have to be significant; even a janitor would do. When I retire, I’ll come and spend my old age at your school!”

After saying this, Principal Li hung up the phone, as if he was afraid Lu Xiaobu would refuse.

Lu Xiaobu held the phone, listening to the ’beep beep beep’ from the receiver, feeling a warmth in his heart.

A phrase suddenly came to his mind.

Great Hero, for the country, for the people!

Perhaps this era is no longer the chaotic one where martial power reigned supreme!

But the spirit of chivalry, in the hearts of people from the Heavenly Dynasty, has never faded!

Hero!

A unique aspect of the Heavenly Dynasty’s culture!
