Chapter 177: Chapter 177 Support from Movie People! [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

Although the live broadcast was shut down, the matter of the Golden Fire Award Ceremony has intensified online!

The scene of Zhou Kunxin covered in wounds shocked many netizens.

They seem to begin to understand where the difference between an actor and a star lies.

However, Han Meng and that TXH boy group’s fans are still relentless towards Lu Xiaobu.

"Fuck, what are you pretending for? Think you’re great just because you have money? What right do you, an outsider, have to decide on matters of the film industry?!"

"Exactly, didn’t your ’A Chinese Odyssey’ end up not winning any awards?!"

"Putting on such an act, I really don’t know what for? To show off? To force a pose?"

"Relying on your money and ignoring the rules?"

"Let me tell you, you’re not capable. The big shots of the film industry haven’t even spoken yet!"

"..."

Then...

In less than half an hour!

Many veteran artists, because of Lu Xiaobu’s leading action, finally let out the anger that had been pent up in their hearts!

They all shared the recorded content of today’s live broadcast and praised Lu Xiaobu!

...

Award-winning national first-class actor Chen Ming on Weibo:

"Although Lu Xiaobu’s actions today were somewhat extreme, he was right. Today’s actors no longer resemble real actors. As an actor, it is your duty to dive into icy water in winter and wear a fur coat in summer! But now, every little scratch or fall has seemingly become an actor’s merit!"

...

National first-class actor and honorary chairman of the Arts Association, Zheng Baoguo on Weibo:

"Lu Xiaobu did nothing wrong. Here, I advise these young idols, after showing off and earning enough money, it’s time to get serious and focus on proper acting. Oh, Zhou Kunxin is a good example of this."

...

An internationally known action movie star:

"Today, riding on Lu Xiaobu’s wave, let me tell the truth! Being an action actor doesn’t mean you can do it just because you’re famous. Some young idols, with several body doubles and a few green and blue screens, 1, 2, 3, ah ha! That counts as shooting an action film? You’re just messing around! Let me give you five words, see when you will finish!"

...

Veteran actor Guo Haolin wrote a fuming article:

"Don’t slander people, lately some say I have been close with these young idols, which I find insulting! I never use body doubles when filming, and I always match my lines to the lips movements. Let me tell you, I am an actor! First figure out if some of these young idols qualify as actors!"

...

An elderly actor approaching eighty, with the help of his granddaughter, posted a Weibo with just two words: "Shameful!"

...

These Weibo posts refreshed the homepage one after another.

This is truly a genuine counterattack by real filmmakers against the young idols, against the chaotic and shambolic film market!

And these veteran artists’ statements brought about a real backlash from the true movie fans against the brainless fans!

"The artists are right, Lu Xiaobu is even more correct! You brainless fans, if you want to watch your idol’s films, we don’t care, that’s your freedom, but please don’t contaminate the real movies with such trash!"

"All day long blah blah blah, ask your conscience, does ’Youthful Frenzy’ even qualify as a movie? Deserve an award?"

"One more word, and I will call your parents, see what they have to say!"

"..."

Under the furious condemnation by these veteran artists and actors, under the national backlash...

The brainless fans finally shut up!

No longer daring to spout nonsense!

Actually, they are not fools; they know full well that their beloved idols’ acting is truly awful.

But they thought having a pretty face was enough, acting skills didn’t matter.

Thus, they still dared to shout a few words before, but now, they really dare not!

They truly didn’t expect Lu Xiaobu’s influence to be so powerful!

That he could get the entire film industry to speak up for him!

Truly terrifying!

...

After staying at home for a few days.

"Hahaha, I did it!"

A burst of excited yelling erupted from Li Jin’s room.

Then Li Jin dashed out of the room, jumping and bouncing excitedly: "Young Master, I did it, I succeeded!"

"Wait a minute, what did you succeed in? Did you awaken some strange attribute again? Maybe I should contact Han Meng to have you two tied the knot?!"

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes and asked.

"Uh..."

Li Jin immediately felt as if a bucket of cold water was poured over him, leaving him utterly speechless!

Young Master, there’s no need to be so discouraging!

With a tinge of grievance, he said, "I’ve already broken through the ’Green Emperor Longevity Technique.’"

"So?"

Lu Xiaobu continued to question.

"So... I’ve become stronger!"

Li Jin’s mouth twitched.

Isn’t this something to be happy about?

Why isn’t the Young Master happy for him at all!

So aggrieved!

"How much stronger?"

Lu Xiaobu stroked his chin and asked.

Zhang Meng, also excited, looked at Li Jin; he wanted to know how much stronger he had gotten too.

Li Jin, feeling finally acknowledged, smugly held out two fingers, secreting a bit of mystery: "Twice as strong!"

"Hisss!"

Zhang Meng gasped, his pupils dilated!

Twice as strong!

On ordinary people, maybe twice isn’t that scary.

But on Li Jin, that’s especially terrifying.

After all, Li Jin was once a Special Soldier, and his physical fitness had almost reached its peak.

At their level, improving even a little bit is very exciting, very awesome.

Yet, Li Jin had doubled it!

The ’Green Emperor Longevity Technique’ given by the Young Master is terrifying!

Now, he probably can’t even handle three moves against Li Jin!

However...

Lu Xiaobu just curled his lip: "Just twice as strong, what’s there to be excited about?"

"Uh..."

Both Li Jin and Zhang Meng felt like crying.

Young Master, do you not realize how terrifying this doubling is.

"Don’t you believe it?" Lu Xiaobu curled his lip: "How about, Li Jin, you take one of my moves?"

"This..." Li Jin thought about it, it seemed good to prove himself to the Young Master, and since he’s the one getting hit, it wouldn’t hurt the Young Master: "Alright!"

"Zhang Meng, with my current physical condition, about how many times stronger am I compared to the old Li Jin?"

Lu Xiaobu turned to ask Zhang Meng.

Yeah, if he charged too much all at once, it would be bad if Li Jin got injured.

After thinking and considering overall qualities and other aspects, Zhang Meng finally gave an answer: "Not in a fight to the death situation, Young Master compared to the old Li Jin is probably about 4 times stronger! Now, it should be around 8 times."

"Tsck!"

Upon hearing this data, Lu Xiaobu finally felt a bit astounded.

No wonder, his All Attributes now are at full value, meaning he’s the most standard normal person.

However, before practicing, Li Jin’s physical condition was about four times his!

Of course, this physical condition isn’t talking only about pure attributes, but includes techniques like force application and release—a comprehensive quality!

It’s like, the same knife, in your hands and in the hands of a Special Soldier are two completely different concepts, not to mention the Special Soldier’s speed and strength are also higher than yours!

This means, he would need about eighty million in energy to have the Dragon Capturing Hand compete against the current Li Jin.

Truly burning money!

He’s figured it out; the Dragon Capturing Hand is best used sparingly, this thing is only for big moves, using it regularly is too disadvantageous!

But then again, he has to use it today.

After all, he bluffed his way here!

Between us, he really just wants to see what the expression on Li Jin’s face would be, coming out full of confidence from his cultivation breakthrough, only to be slapped away!

Sounds like fun!

Cough cough cough, is he becoming naughty!?

No, no, he’s helping Li Jin temper his mind, yes, that’s it!
