"If the ancestors are buried upright... the descendants will definitely be great! Wow, that's hilarious! But this short video is quite daring, actually filming someone moving a grave."
Wait, that's not a short video, it looks like a movie clip! Holy crap, isn't that Director Xu, who plays Iron Man?!
"Holy crap, it really is Director Xu! Could this be the plot of his new movie, Mr. Vampire? I'm suddenly very interested."
"I never expected that Director Xu's horror films would also include comedic elements, hahaha."
"That's great. This way it's not just a simple horror movie. It makes me want to watch it myself."
You know, before this, I absolutely hated horror movies and didn't want to have nightmares.
...
"Holy crap, so this is what zombies are like? That sounds kind of exciting. I wonder when the movie will come out."
"Hahaha, I'm so stupid. I was holding my breath the whole time while watching this clip, afraid that the zombies would smell me."
"Okay, you're not alone. I was holding it in too."
It wasn't until later that I came to my senses and realized I could breathe while watching the video.
"That's a bit scary. I didn't know that if you get bitten by a zombie, you'll turn into a zombie too. Oh my god."
It's made me a little afraid to go to the bathroom at night. I wonder where I can buy talismans and glutinous rice..."
...
Before the promotion of Mr. Zombie began, the people of Daxia did not have much of a concept of what a 'zombie' was.
It's just that the word contains the character for "corpse" that it naturally feels somewhat eerie and terrifying.
But it wasn't until the promotion of Mr. Zombie began that people realized that zombies were actually creatures that could hop.
Moreover, this creature can bite and kill people, and those bitten will even turn into zombies.
However, by using glutinous rice, ink lines, or Maoshan Taoist magic, one can restrain and damage zombies.
These novel things are quite interesting to netizens.
In particular, the memorable quotes that were released to the public in advance brought more attention to the film "Mr. Vampire".
For a moment, people in the industry fell silent.
This is a completely different reaction from when they first heard that Da Xu Culture was going to make a horror movie.
At the time, these industry insiders thought that the people at Daxu Culture were fools, for not making good science fiction films but instead making niche horror films.
Especially that guy surnamed Xu, who even said he wanted to make a horror film with a unique style of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Look at that boastful talk.
However, now that behind-the-scenes footage of 'Mr. Zombie' has begun to circulate online, industry insiders are the first to sense that something is amiss.
Logically speaking, a horror movie, due to its genre, should not attract much attention.
But Mr. Zombie actually succeeded this time, so it's clear that this movie is very different from other horror movies.
Another thing they discovered was that Daxu Culture had indeed introduced a new horror element, and this thing was indeed unique to Daxia.
That's a 'zombie'.
Moreover, it not only expresses the horror of 'zombies', but also the corresponding Maoshan Taoist magic.
In this way, while the horror level of the movie will decrease, its entertainment value and marketability will increase.
In other words, horror films, which were originally a niche genre, will attract a wider audience.
This alone has shocked many people in the industry:
"No way, could it be that DaXu Culture really succeeded in making the deal?"
"It's too early to draw conclusions; we'll have to see how the film performs after its release."
If it can really achieve good box office results, that would be amazing..."
"I really didn't expect that such a niche film genre could shine so brightly under Daxu Culture."
...
"Director Mou Jun, I heard that you are also preparing to shoot a horror movie recently. Have you heard of Mr. Zombie, which is being produced by Da Xu Culture?"
Are you worried that the horror films directed by Xu Lu might have some impact on the films you're currently making?
After all, you're a big name in the horror film industry, but DaXu Culture has also been riding high lately..."
In a Hong Kong and Taiwan program, the host asked some rather pointed questions.
Director Mou Jun, who appeared as a guest, looked rather displeased.
However, thinking that she was on the show to help promote the movie, she suppressed her dissatisfaction.
But there was no happy expression on his face as he replied:
"I know Daxu Culture, of course. Their science fiction films are pretty good, but I personally think that science fiction and horror films are two completely different fields."
Perhaps in the realm of science fiction, Director Xu of Daxu Culture is better than me, but in the realm of horror films, I, Mou Jun, have enough confidence; this is my territory…”
The host was clearly very satisfied with Mu Jun's answer, nodding and smiling as he said:
"Since Director Mou is so confident, then we are relieved. So, Director Mou, please tell us about the horror film you are making."
If possible, could you please also comment on Da Xu Culture's "Mr. Zombie"? Will this genre become a new trend in horror films...?
Mu Jun nodded and said:
"The Ghost King Legend that I'm currently filming incorporates new elements into the existing horror genre, taking the story from the Ghost King's own perspective..."
As for the "Mr. Zombie" thing the host mentioned, in my opinion, that's a very low-level exploration of horror elements, and it doesn't even qualify as a real horror film.
As everyone knows, Da Xu Culture is known for its comedies in addition to science fiction films, so this Mr. Vampire movie is probably a comedy variant as well.
We can see this from the behind-the-scenes footage circulating online; there's hardly any strong sense of horror, and instead, there are quite a few comedic elements..."
The host smiled and nodded, then asked, "What's the catch?"
"It seems that Director Mou Jun doesn't take Da Xu Culture's Mr. Zombie seriously. Director Mou is an expert in the horror film field, so his opinion naturally has some merit."
Mu Jun simply nodded in approval of the host's attempt to create a trap.
Because that's what he believes.
Can anyone make horror movies?
I spent more than ten years honing my skills to the highest level in this field.
Now, in the entire Daxia film and television industry, the name Mu Jun is synonymous with horror films.
As for that Daxu Culture, do you really think you can succeed at making any kind of film?
They think they can compete with Japan and the United States in the horror film genre? They're really overestimating themselves.
If Japan and the United States were so easy to surpass, I wouldn't have failed to succeed all this time.
Mu Jun believes that if anyone can break the barriers between Japan and the United States in the field of horror films, it can only be himself.
As for that so-called Daxu Culture...
It's just a hobby; there's absolutely no way that's possible!
