"It's unbelievable! I never thought Daxu Culture would actually succeed. Who could have imagined this?"
"Yes, I originally thought this was just a publicity stunt by Daxu Culture, a mere sales tactic."
It wasn't until I actually saw the movie that I realized they weren't exaggerating at all; it really is amazing!
"Yes, I think this movie might inspire a lot of people to follow suit, and the horror genre is about to be revitalized."
"It has to be said that the past two years have been the years of DaXu Culture, with one work after another becoming a hit across the internet."
It shone brightly in the science fiction genre, conquering Hollywood, and then became a sensation in the horror genre as well…
...
"To be honest, I recently received a script for a zombie movie and am preparing to start filming."
"That's a good thing. You can see from this movie by Da Xu Culture that the public still likes this type of movie."
"There are more than one or two production teams preparing to shoot zombie movies right now, and we expect to see an explosion in the next period of time."
"Putting everything else aside, just the fact that Daxu Culture pioneered this genre is enough to warrant extensive praise..."
"Hahaha, I never expected that the stagnant horror film industry could have such vitality."
...
Insiders are saying that the earlier suspicions have long since vanished.
Moreover, many of the directors and producers involved are already preparing to film zombie movies.
While this market segment is still relatively untapped, whoever acts first will reap the rewards.
Those who come later will probably only get a little soup, while only the most hard-working ones will be able to grab a bone or two.
Similarly, Mu Jun, a director of horror films, was speechless at this point.
He hadn't paid much attention to Mr. Zombie's box office figures from the previous few days.
As a leading figure in the horror film industry in China, his works have achieved similar success.
Moreover, Mr. Vampire was backed by Da Xu Culture, and a good box office performance does not necessarily mean that the quality is good.
As the director, Mu Jun was well aware of how complicated things were.
However, as the online discussions increased and the praise for Mr. Zombie grew, Mu Jun became somewhat confused.
You can understand the lavish praise online.
But if people around you start praising it, then it's probably more than just a marketing tactic.
After reading many film reviews, Mu Jun finally secretly bought a movie ticket for Mr. Vampire one night.
When he went to see the movie, he was wearing big sunglasses, and people kept staring at him curiously.
People thought it was some big star, but after looking at it for a while, they realized they didn't recognize it at all.
As a result, quite a few people secretly scoffed, thinking that this guy wearing big sunglasses to watch a movie late at night was probably just showing off.
Of course, Mu Jun himself was unaware of this; he was simply worried about being seen.
Once inside the screening room and as the film began, Mu Jun finally took off his sunglasses.
He began watching the wildly popular Mr. Zombie from the perspective of a director.
At first, he looked at it with a critical eye, but as he looked, Mu Jun fell silent.
"How is that possible? Isn't Daxu Culture known for making comedies and sci-fi films? How come they're making horror films too..."
Mu Jun felt a headache coming on.
Although this current Mr. Vampire movie has quite a few comedic elements and fight scenes, it is still definitely a horror film overall.
However, what shocked Mu Jun the most was the expressive techniques used in this film.
In his original understanding, horror movies should be as scary as possible, and the skill lies in making the audience wet their pants.
But this Mr. Vampire movie is different!
It alternates between being scary and funny, just in case it scares the audience away.
On the other hand, traditional horror films should of course have some depth, and after scaring people, they should also provide some moral lessons.
However, this Mr. Zombie movie did not do that.
It simply tells a story, interspersed with various elements; isn't it clearly just a fast-paced horror film?
But even the director, Mou Jun, thought it was quite interesting, at least...
It feels more interesting than his previous films.
Although I was unwilling to admit it, such an embarrassing thought arose in my mind.
Just then, Mu Jun felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
"Hey, Director Mou, there's a script we'd like to collaborate on with you on. When would you be available?"
Hearing the voice on the other end, Mu Jun thought for a moment and said:
"What kind of notebook is it? Let me see if I'm interested. You know..."
Before he could finish speaking, the other person said somewhat excitedly:
"What else could it be, Director Mou? Aren't zombie movies all the rage lately? I've also got a few scripts. What do you think?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Jun fell silent again.
But the person on the other end of the line said excitedly, "Director Mou, Director Mou, are you still listening?"
Let me tell you, zombie movies are definitely a hit. The market response has been fantastic, and whoever gets in first will make a fortune.
I'll provide the script, and with a horror film master like yourself directing, it will be ten or even a hundred times better than anyone else's.
Although the title of "first work" has been taken by "Mr. Zombie," we...
"Okay! I'll take the notebook. Let's meet tomorrow and discuss it in detail!"
After a moment of silence, Mu Jun took a deep breath and suddenly spoke.
"Alright, alright, Director Mou, then I'll be waiting for your arrival."
Upon hearing the other end hang up, Mu Jun gritted his teeth.
