Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

After hearing Lu Xiaobu’s explanation, who knows how many people went crazy.
This twisted logic, it’s just too twisted!
So twisted it’s beyond ridicule!
"So according to what you’re saying, why even recite poetry?! Just go recite some erotic fiction! It’s got emotion, it’s got imagery!"
Sun Ye was just seething!
Then!
"Great idea!" Lu Xiaobu’s eyes suddenly lit up: "There might even be a reaction! Come on, who wants to give it a go?!"
"Pfft!"
The whole crowd lost it!
A great idea?!
How could you even say that?!
I’m totally floored! Absolutely floored!
"Young Master Lu, why don’t you step down now!"
Cai Long felt his head buzzing and could only say so.
They couldn’t go on any longer, or they’d all end up vomiting blood and dying!
However, as a professional director who had actual experience and had even won awards, he felt a different kind of emotion swelling in his heart.
His years of experience led him to a conclusion.
Why did so many directors produce no works after graduation?!
A large reason is their pedantic mindset, not striving for excellence but avoiding mistakes.
A great movie, one that could be legendary, might not always be the first of its kind, but it definitely carries a director’s personal touch and ideas!
Perhaps it’s precisely because of Lu Xiaobu’s unconventional thought process that he could create a legendary work like A Chinese Odyssey!
"Totally OK!"
Lu Xiaobu immediately nodded and turned to leave.
Really now, wouldn’t it have been fine to do this earlier?
Insisting on debating!
He was just going through the motions but you had to take it so seriously!
After Lu Xiaobu left, the examination was paused for half an hour.
There was no helping it; whether it was the examiners or the examinees, everyone needed a breather - their insides were hurting!
...
The exam continued.
After the recitation part was done, they moved on to the second segment: group skits.
Recitation assessed artistic expression and aesthetic preferences.
Group skits tested thinking ability, teamwork, expression, and adaptability.
After all, the topics were random and improvised!
The examiners gave everyone a bit of time to rehearse.
Nothing much to talk about for this part.
After all, Lu Xiaobu’s own plot arrangement went like this.
Someone said to him: "Your hands are dirty, go wash them."
Then.
Lu Xiaobu would say: "Okay."
And so, Lu Xiaobu left!
Yep, he just walked right out the door!
Until the performance was over, he didn’t come back.
You all don’t know.
When Lu Xiaobu said ’okay’ and then just walked out the door, the three examiners were like they’d gone mad.
Damn! Damn! A huge damn!
What the hell are you doing?!
The whole act was just one line, showing your face, and off to wash your hands?!
If you were in a movie, you wouldn’t even make it into the bloopers, okay!?
You’re amazing! You’re freaking amazing!
And playing around like this!
...
Lu Xiaobu finally bluffed his way to the third stage — the oral exam!
Yep, he wasn’t scared at all!
But the three examiners were terrified!
Just a recitation and a couple of casual questions had almost killed them, and now they had to conduct an oral exam?!
Ask questions?!
Who dares to ask?!
If they’re not careful, they’ll have to dial 120 [emergency number]!
But, the exam must go on.
In the end, Cai Long gritted his teeth and asked, "Who among you is physically fit?!"
This question signified only those with good physical health could conduct the oral examination for Lu Xiaobu.
Otherwise, no way!
The other two examiners fell silent.
"Forget it, I’ll do it!"
Cai Long had no choice but to bite the bullet and step up.
...
Lu Xiaobu entered, took a seat, and looked at the three examiners.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was a bit strange.
Because Lu Xiaobu was now completely at ease, while the three examiners were on tenterhooks!
They had no choice; the three of them had been previously tricked by Lu Xiaobu, and now the aura emanating from him was suffocating them!
This was the complete opposite of how the other students had entered the room!
Cai Long mustered up his courage, with the support of the other examiners, opened his mouth, ready to speak!
But then.
"What is your name?"
Lu Xiaobu spoke first.
"I’m Cai Long!"
Cai Long immediately replied.
"I heard you’re interested in electronic sports?"
"Yes, I am personally an experienced player, currently at Diamond I."
"Have you ever had experience directing electronic sports events?"
"I’ve directed a city competition before, I’ve brought my video, you can take a look."
"Alright, send it to the company, say it’s on my orders."
"Yes!"
"Also, you’d better be clear, if I made you the director, it won’t just be our domestic competitions, but I’ll also entrust you with the upcoming global event. Are you confident you can handle it?!"
"Yes!"
"Not bad, alright, wait for the notice!"
"Thank you, Young Master Lu!"
The conversation concluded.
Lu Xiaobu still sat in his seat, while Cai Long stood there, his expression utterly sincere!
"Pfft!"
Sun Ye and the female examiner felt their livers ache!
What the hell is this?
Who is being interviewed here?!
Isn’t this supposed to be Lu Xiaobu’s interview?!
Why the hell are you, Cai Long, answering the questions?!
"Alright, I’m leaving."
Lu Xiaobu stood up, waved his hand, and said.
"Okay, take care."
Cai Long hurriedly saw Lu Xiaobu off.
After Lu Xiaobu left, Cai Long looked up at the ceiling: "Is there something not right here?!"
"No kidding!" Sun Ye couldn’t hold back any longer, and burst out shouting: "Director Cai! You are a great director! Didn’t you agree to interview Lu Xiaobu? How did it turn into him interviewing you?!"
"Uh..."
Cai Long finally realized what had happened, and his face was immediately covered with embarrassment: "Cough cough cough, well, this and that! How should I put it! I need to use the restroom!"
He hurriedly made his escape!
This was terribly embarrassing!
He truly loved electronic sports; not only had he directed electronic sports events, but he had also participated in competitions.
Of course, he was definitely eliminated.
However, his soul for e-sports did not die, but rather burned even brighter.
He looked at the domestic competition scene and was truly heartbroken.
This was a game from the Heavenly Dynasty, but it had turned out like this.
He may not be the savior, but he could become a soldier under the savior!
And Lu Xiaobu was that savior!
That’s why he just couldn’t help himself just now!
...
Anyway, having fulfilled the task promised to Principal Li, Lu Xiaobu immediately took off.
Speaking bluntly, maintaining a good relationship with Principal Li is necessary.
After all, Principal Li is a person who has a say in both the literary and entertainment circles.
It didn’t matter before, but now that the Lu Family has an invisible, unpredictable enemy—the Lin Family—it has become necessary.
Accumulate strength, cultivate forces, and prepare for the upcoming battle!
