Chapter 192 Purely Supported by the Audience

*Brotherhood of Blades 1* had been released for a month.

During this time, Lu Xuan had been constantly polishing the script for *Brotherhood of Blades 2*.

Since the first day had already broken the record for domestic martial arts films, he believed that the subsequent box office wouldn't be too bad.

After all, so many people were still wailing about not being able to buy tickets.

"Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan, our one-month box office has been tallied!"

Su Yao walked over and happily hugged Lu Xuan's arm.

Recently, she had been checking the box office data for *Brotherhood of Blades 1* every day.

Because the final result of the box office depended on all the box office data for the entire month.

"I know."

Lu Xuan chuckled and said, "But I haven't seen exactly how much it is yet."

"I just saw it, the number is especially awesome!"

"Haha, I don't think it will be too bad anyway." Lu Xuan thought that no matter what, this film would achieve a good result.

So, there was no need to stare at it too much.

But now, seeing Su Yao smiling so happily, he smiled along with her.

After the two of them looked at the box office record, they couldn't help but laugh.

At this moment, the entire internet was also happy for this number.

In one month, *Brotherhood of Blades 1* generated a box office of seventy billion.

Not only did it break the record for domestic martial arts films, but it could also be ranked in the top ten among all films nationwide.

Among them, many were martial arts enthusiasts who had watched it repeatedly.

That's why it was able to achieve such a result.

Seeing this result, Lu Xuan didn't feel surprised.

The first day was because too many people wanted to see it, so every showing was packed.

But most of those who wanted to see it later had already seen it.

There were also some people with martial arts sentiments who would continue to follow it.

"You're amazing!"

Su Yao couldn't help but praise him.

The two hugged each other.

However, other directors were shocked by this result and didn't know what to say.

Apart from some people who generously offered congratulations, others didn't even have the heart to be jealous of Lu Xuan.

How could they criticize such a result?

Even if they wanted to criticize, they had to come up with something.

But the audience showed with practical actions that they just liked to watch it.

They supported Lu Xuan, they supported *Brotherhood of Blades 1*.

No matter how much they wanted to sing a different tune, it was useless.

Especially some directors of ancient idol dramas, who were now far behind.

Looking at this data, they couldn't calm down for a long time.

They didn't expect that the movies Lu Xuan made would be so marketable.

They had never thought that they would witness such a scene one day.

Previously, they thought that the audience would definitely like good-looking actors, so they deliberately chose those actors who were praised by fans as being so beautiful and handsome.

They invited them to be the leads in their movies.

At first, they did taste the sweetness.

After all, fans would come to support these movies, regardless of whether they were good or not.

They would praise them to the heavens.

Even relying on these fans, they could earn a lot of money at the box office.

But now, Lu Xuan's approach completely broke their established way of thinking.

He didn't use any traffic stars, and even the male lead wasn't the leading image they had agreed upon.

He even spent most of his money on filming.

The filming locations were also real shots taken at various scenic spots and bases.

The effect naturally looked much better than their stage sets and post-production.

It wasn't to say that stage sets were bad, but many of the landscapes that originally existed in reality would naturally be more realistic.

Many directors were originally exchanging filming experiences at a cocktail party.

But someone suggested that the box office results for *Brotherhood of Blades 1* were out today.

Everyone was originally thinking of just taking a look. With so many people together, they could definitely criticize Lu Xuan, a newcomer who didn't follow their mainstream.

In their opinion, Lu Xuan was an anomaly in their circle.

But now, those who were being laughed at and slapped in the face instantly became themselves.

No one expected such a situation to happen.

"Old Zhang, he's too amazing, and this box office is completely supported by the audience, he didn't eat any fan dividends at all."

"This is the first time I've seen someone do so well!"

"Now I'm wondering if what we're doing is necessarily right, are we guarding this safe zone too much?"

"When the audience scolded us before, I never took it seriously, because I thought that what I filmed wasn't meant for them to watch anyway, even if they watched it, they might not understand it."

"Hey, now I think it's not that interesting."

They felt very uncomfortable at the moment.

Even if they didn't say it, they had already wavered in their hearts.

They shouldn't be the same as before.

Originally, they had another purpose this time, which was to boycott Lu Xuan.

But now, they found that boycotting was useless.

Lu Xuan continued to polish *Brotherhood of Blades 2*, and even Su Yao was busy with him.

In order to better prepare the fight scenes, the two of them cleaned up the backyard together, clearing out a large space.

"Shang Lin, are you free recently?"

Lu Xuan called Shang Lin, and Shang Lin immediately thought of it.

He would call him, probably for the matter of *Brotherhood of Blades 2*.

He arrived at Lu Xuan's house.

As soon as he entered, Lu Xuan pulled him and showed him a few moves on the spot.

It was a martial arts fight scene in *Brotherhood of Blades 2*, and he alone had already performed it wonderfully.

"How did you come up with this? It's too wonderful!"

Shang Lin immediately clapped. It was the first time he had seen someone perform so well.

"What do you think?"

"Very good!"

Shang Lin clapped and couldn't help but say, "You're too good! How did you do it?"

"Of course, it's to prepare for *Brotherhood of Blades 2*. What do you think? Are you interested?"

"Of course!"

"You're too dedicated, you're already practicing before filming even starts!"

It was the first time Shang Lin had seen someone as dedicated as Lu Xuan.

Although there were also such good actors in the circle before, they were all getting old.

They gradually retired.

They no longer continued to film movies.

The new ones, you know.

Seeing Lu Xuan working so hard now, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He also couldn't stop praising him.

"So, do you want to join our company and be our in-house martial arts instructor in the future? What do you think?"

Lu Xuan sincerely invited Shang Lin to join the company.
