Chapter 234 Industry Development

Hearing Lu Xuan's calm voice, Charles remembered this genius's past of acquiring box office revenue around the world.

He couldn't help but lick his lips and asked, "Lu, what surprise are you referring to?"

Listening to Charles's cautious tone, Lu Xuan felt it was a little funny, but he didn't deliberately keep him in suspense.

"Based on my experience, the current pre-sale box office shows that our movie has aroused the interest of many people. As long as the quality of the movie is not a problem, there will be a big explosion after the first wave of viewers watch it!"

"That's what we're really looking forward to!"

Charles thought about what Lu Xuan meant, and he felt his heartbeat quicken and his breathing become heavier.

"Lu, will it really be like this? I've never seen a pre-sale box office reach such a result!"

"It's crazy!" Charles seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself, "It's really crazy!"

Although Charles has been a famous director for a long time, the starting point of this movie now has the possibility of impacting the global movie box office champion!

As long as he can achieve such a result, then he will be forever remembered in this piece of history!

Any performance or directing student will see an introduction about him in their textbooks!

This is a glory that very few people in the world can accomplish!

The reason he pestered Lu Xuan for so long was because of his love for kung fu, his longing for Chinese culture, and the opportunity to promote his hobbies!

Now it seems that these are already within easy reach.

What Lu Xuan said next was like giving Charles a reassurance.

"Charles, don't you believe in my vision? Instead of panicking here, you might as well think about how to speak at the awards ceremony!"

"Remember to mention me when you speak."

...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, *Ip Man* officially met audiences around the world.

Countless viewers couldn't wait to walk into the cinema, wanting to see what kind of visual feast Lu Xuan could bring to the audience.

Lu Xuan didn't pay attention to *Ip Man* at this time, because this was a movie he collaborated with Charles.

He only has 70% of the box office revenue, and he didn't put in too much effort.

He has something more important to do now.

Meeting the parents.

This New Year, he and Su Yao went to her house to celebrate the New Year.

Because Su Yao spent the whole year filming and working with Lu Xuan outside, and she even spent last year's New Year on the set.

Now that she finally has time this year, she naturally wants to go home for the New Year.

At Su Yao's invitation, Lu Xuan also officially came to her house as a guest.

The relationship between the two has now been made public, and reaching this point can be regarded as a natural progression.

Lu Xuan felt a little headache when it came to gifts.

It wasn't easy to choose the content and value, and it was difficult to grasp the proportions.

Although he had been in contact with his future father-in-law, Su Mo, with his literati personality, if he really pursued various etiquettes, he would at least have to bring something decent.

Su Yao was more experienced in this regard. After all, she had been influenced by her family for so many years, so it was difficult not to know.

Therefore, the scope of the gifts was limited to a rough range.

For Su Mo, it was a set of Wanbaolu (Montblanc) pens and a piece of Longquan inkpad.

For Shen Ruoqiu, it was a jade bracelet and cosmetics provided by Su Yao.

The value is not high, but just right.

Originally, Lu Xuan was a little nervous when he came to the door, but when he entered the door and saw Su Mo and Shen Ruoqiu's enthusiastic smiles, he relaxed.

After entering the door, Su Yao and Shen Ruoqiu went to the kitchen to work, while Lu Xuan went to the tea room with Su Mo to drink tea.

Su Mo greatly admired Lu Xuan. He had never seen such an outstanding young man.

Such an outstanding young man is unimaginable even in those fantasy works.

He was naturally very gratified that his daughter had met such a good man.

He poured a cup of tea for Lu Xuan and said in a relaxed tone.

"It's been hard work this year. Your Aunt Shen's income is very good, so you're in for a treat for this New Year's Eve dinner!"

Lu Xuan smiled, picked up the tea, and said, "Then I'm really troubling Aunt Shen. I was thinking about helping in the kitchen, but she wouldn't let me in at all."

Su Mo laughed heartily and said, "In terms of status, you are a guest, so how can we let a guest work in the kitchen?"

"But then again, with your relationship with Su Yao, coming here is like coming home, so let your Aunt Liu and Su Yao do the work!"

"It's rare to taste the food made by your Aunt Liu once a year, so don't worry about them."

Seeing Lu Xuan drinking tea with a smile, Su Mo turned the topic to the online novel website.

He is now the actual person in charge and editor-in-chief of the novel website under Xuanyao Company. The overall tone and development direction of the entire novel website are developed under his arrangement.

This year, because of Lu Xuan's *Xianjian Qi Xia Zhuan* (Paladin Legend), the development momentum of the novel website is very strong, and the user growth data is almost exponential.

And the number of people registering as online novelists is also constantly increasing.

Now there are many new books being added to the library every day, but the quality varies.

This is what Su Mo wanted to talk to him about this time.

"Lu Xuan, do you have any plans for the future development of the novel website?"

This question was a bit formal, Lu Xuan thought for a while and said, "It should still be in a state of barbaric growth. We can make plans after it gradually becomes clear."

Su Mo understood Lu Xuan's thoughts.

So he expressed his own thoughts.

"I think we can start planning now."

"If we really have to wait for the relevant departments to come out and plan, then the restrictions at that time are likely to be a one-size-fits-all situation."

"Among the online novel websites on the market, we are the only one that has become successful, and the rest have not yet become significant."

"Therefore, for the development of the industry and for our own interests, it is necessary to start making restrictions now."

Lu Xuan nodded in agreement, signaling Su Mo to continue.

"I think we should set some red lines, such as resolutely restricting certain sensitive things, but if it is about describing some natural emotions between people, then we shouldn't make so many restrictions."

"What do you think?"

Lu Xuan understood what Su Mo meant.

But this problem is indeed not easy to deal with.

Especially since this is an emerging industry, any changes in the industry will cause industry shocks.

They must consider it carefully.

Because the novel industry still needs the injection of fresh blood, and it cannot rely solely on Lu Xuan's works to support the entire industry.

Su Mo's suggestion can be said to be based on a broad and long-term perspective.
