"It has to be our CEO Xu! He managed to turn things around with a horror movie. He's truly amazing!"
"I initially thought we were going to suffer a major defeat this time, but it turns out that wasn't the case at all..."
"I think our zombie movie this time will start a trend. This thing is even better than I imagined."
"That's right! This is the kind of horror and zombie movie that we people of Great Xia should be watching."
It's much more interesting than the eeriness of Japan or the gore of the United States!
"Hehe, before filming started, we didn't know how many people came to discourage us. Now they've been proven wrong, haven't they?"
...
"Fortunately, our CEO Xu has strong willpower and persevered even when so many people were pessimistic about his chances."
Otherwise, the Great Xia film market would be missing such a distinctive genre of film.
"Who says a chef can't be a lead actor? Uncle Ying acted just as well, didn't he?"
"I have to say, Uncle Ying is really charismatic in movies. He's going to be famous now, it's unbelievable!"
"Mr. Xu has an exceptional eye for talent. He didn't choose any of the many actors he had at the time, but he ultimately picked Uncle Ying, the chef."
...
The employees of Daxu Culture, who had also just left the cinema, were having a heated discussion.
Whenever a film is released in the company, everyone puts down their work and goes to the cinema to watch it.
This has become a routine for employees at Da Xu Culture, and the release of Mr. Vampire this time was no exception.
Sure enough, after watching the film and seeing the positive reactions from other viewers, everyone was quite excited.
As the producer, Feng Xiaoxia had actually seen the full version of the plot before Mr. Vampire was released.
At the time, he thought the film was of good quality.
But because there was no audience reaction, they didn't have much confidence.
Until just now, I saw the most direct feedback from the audience.
Feng Xiaoxia felt that his heart had finally settled down.
"Mr. Xu is indeed Mr. Xu. Perhaps, just as he said, this Mr. Vampire could really become a horror film with unique characteristics of Daxia."
That's what he was thinking.
...
Meanwhile, the comment section of Xu Lu's live stream once again erupted in excitement.
Because among those who came to support Mr. Zombie early in the morning, there were already many of his fans.
Now that everyone has finished watching the video, of course, there will be discussions in the comments section:
Brothers, I just watched Director Xu's film, and it was as brilliant as ever.
[Need I say more? Mr. Xu's films are so good you could watch them with your eyes closed. They're fucking amazing.]
[Let's start with the conclusion: it's good. But how exactly do we know it's good? Let's begin with the zombie element...]
The explanation upstairs is too complicated. I'll just say two words: Awesome!
...
[This is groundbreaking! I think this zombie movie will definitely go down in film history; it's the progenitor of the genre!]
[That's right, I think we'll probably see a lot of zombie movies coming out of nowhere.]
[Hahaha, a lot of people laughed at our streamer back then, but now they realize they were the clowns, right?]
I felt numb while watching, but after watching it, I felt a little scared.
Even though it was midday, I dared not go into any shady spots, fearing a giant zombie might jump out.
...
I'm so envious! I have to work in the morning, so I can only go see it in the evening.
By the way, I'm a scaredy-cat, anyone want to go see it together? I'm a girl, looking for a male teammate!
【Me! Me! Me! Me! Me! I'm brave! Send me your address, and I'll give you a safe haven.】
Hey bro upstairs, you have two arms, can I join you? By the way, I'm a guy, and I like guys...
"...Um, bro, are you serious? If you are, then I'll take it seriously..."
...
Let's not even talk about the reactions of those who have seen Mr. Zombie.
As time went on, especially in the evening, the number of people in the movie theater increased.
As a product of Da Xu Culture, Mr. Zombie is undoubtedly the first choice for many people.
Even if it's a zombie movie.
This is the reputation that comes from so many high-quality works before.
Time flew by, and soon it was time for the box office results to be released that evening.
As always, the people at Daxu Culture were paying close attention.
Besides them, many other people in the industry are also waiting for the box office results of Mr. Vampire.
Because throughout the entire Great Xia, horror films have not seen much progress.
This has also led many directors and film companies to simply not dare to get involved in this genre.
This time, DaXu Culture dared to be the first to try something new, and everyone else naturally wants to see how it goes.
Everyone wants to know whether Da Xu Wen Hua, who ate this crab, actually enjoyed the delicious crab meat or suffered from food poisoning and diarrhea.
"It's out! Our 'Mr. Vampire' grossed 48 million on its opening day, taking first place!"
Finally, someone happily reported.
Upon hearing this, the members of Daxu Culture cheered, feeling as if a weight had finally been lifted from their shoulders.
The opening day box office of 48 million is actually nothing compared to the previous blockbusters.
But you should know that 'Mr. Vampire' is a thriller/horror movie.
It can be described as an extremely niche field, a niche within a niche.
Achieving such a result on the first day was already beyond expectations.
What's more, it's a low-budget, small-scale film.
