The sudden popularity of zombie movies in the Chinese film and television industry has also attracted the attention of industry insiders in the United States.
In the past, these people might not have paid much attention to things in the Great Xia film industry.
However, with Daxu Culture's three Iron Man films dominating Hollywood, industry insiders there are clearly paying much more attention to Daxia's film and television industry.
Moreover, people in the US industry had already heard about Director Xu's previous statement about making a horror film with a distinctly Chinese style.
They also made some negative comments, believing that it would be very difficult for Daxia to create a horror film with its own unique characteristics.
It wasn't until 'Mr. Vampire' became a huge hit in China that the zombie film genre began to flourish.
This caught the attention of people in Hollywood.
Although the cultural atmosphere is different, the art of filmmaking is obviously the same.
This Mr. Zombie movie brought considerable shock to the other party:
"It's a miracle! I never imagined that the Great Xia would produce such a groundbreaking horror masterpiece so quickly. It's unbelievable!"
"Indeed, although I don't quite understand what a zombie is, it is obviously a kind of terrifying creature unique to the Great Xia Dynasty, similar to vampires and werewolves in our country."
And the fact that director Lu Xu brought it to the screen, inspiring others to start making films of this type, is quite remarkable.
"A very interesting concept! Zombies and Maoshan Taoism are both specific elements of the Great Xia Dynasty, and their combination has sparked some truly brilliant ideas..."
"I have to say, I like this movie. The Taoist priest from Maoshan eliminating zombies is similar to the priest in our country eliminating vampires."
"Although other zombie movies by Da Xia are still in production, I already had a feeling that this was the emergence of a new genre, and director Da Xia really did it."
...
Although those people in Hollywood used to look down on the Great Xia region.
But there is another fact: people in the United States generally admire strength.
When you are weak, they won't even give you a second glance.
But only when you become powerful will they submit to you.
Now that Daxu Culture has released Mr. Zombie, these people in the US industry have completely changed their attitude.
Of course, there were also people who were quite unhappy at this moment, namely Director John, who had lost completely last time.
He originally thought that Daxu Culture would suffer a setback, but unexpectedly, they 'won' again.
After his initial displeasure, John secretly felt a surge of relief:
"Fortunately, they didn't make a sci-fi movie this time, so even if this horror movie is amazing, it won't affect me."
My new sci-fi film, 'Interstellar Insect Plague,' is in post-production and will be released soon.
This time, without a movie like Iron Man to cause trouble, I should be able to regroup and regain my glory…
...
Clearly, John was unaware that the filming of 'Captain Xia 1' at Daxu Culture was also nearing its end.
In his spare time, Xu Lu also went to the film set to inspect the filming location.
He also specifically checked the various materials shot by the company's "fresh blood" and found that the quality was quite good.
The lead actor in Captain Xia is a relatively unknown newcomer named Peng Yuyan.
One reason for choosing this actor is that he is in excellent physical condition.
On the other hand, it's because the other person's appearance is very similar to that of 'Yu Yan' from Earth in my previous life.
At this moment, Xu Lu was looking at the materials, and Peng Yuyan, the protagonist, asked very respectfully:
"Director Xu, do you see any areas in my performance that need improvement?"
No wonder Peng Yuyan was excited; the person in front of him was the director of many blockbusters such as Kung Fu Hustle and Iron Man.
Moreover, he's not just a director; besides the wildly popular Mr. Vampire, he's also starred in every film he's worked on.
It's safe to say that Director Xu is practically a shoo-in for Best Actor in the numerous awards this winter and next spring.
The only thing that hasn't been confirmed yet is whether he will be a double or triple Best Actor winner.
With such a big name guiding him, Peng Yuyan certainly wouldn't miss the opportunity to learn from him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Lu commented:
"Your acting was alright, and your physical performance was also quite good. Just keep up the good work and maintain it."
Upon hearing this, Peng Yuyan was so excited he felt like he was floating on air, and quickly said modestly:
"Director Xu, I am still far behind you."
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"It won't be long. Once Captain Xia finishes filming the three parts, your fame in Great Xia won't be much lower than mine."
Whether the US will accept this is hard to say, but there is a downside, do you know what it is?
Peng Yuyan was initially very happy after hearing the first half of the sentence.
But upon hearing that there were also downsides, he became a little worried and quickly asked:
"Mr. Xu, what are the disadvantages?"
"The downside is that if I leave Daxu, other companies probably won't be able to offer me such a high salary."
Xu Lu made a joke.
However, this is also a truth.
Once the "Captain Da Xia" IP is established, coupled with the upcoming "Avengers" movie, the character of Captain Da Xia is sure to become a huge hit.
In the film and television industry, fame determines the amount of pay.
Given Xu Lu's current situation, if he weren't making movies for his own company as the lead actor, no one else would be able to offer him the salary he deserves.
After all, how should we give it?
One Kung Fu Hustle movie grossed 5 billion yuan, and three Iron Man movies grossed 2 billion US dollars in the US...
In other words, he now only stars in his own projects, directing and acting to earn system skills. Outside of his own projects, no one can afford to hire someone of his caliber.
Peng Yuyan, who plays the lead role in Captain Da Xia, will definitely be extraordinary, even if he doesn't reach Xu Lu's level after this movie becomes a hit.
That's why Xu Lu said those words half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Peng Yuyan, who had been looking worried, was stunned after hearing this, but after regaining his senses, he suddenly felt that the future was bright.
you do not say.
The protagonist of Mr. Vampire used to be a chef, but now he's become the famous "Uncle Nine," with two horror movies in the making.
I'm currently the lead actor in 'Captain Xia,' and I'm sure I'll become a big star eventually, just like Director Xu just said.
...
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Back in the United States, director John was overjoyed because his new film, 'Interstellar Insect Plague,' was about to be released.
He has already invited some friends in the industry to watch the finished film, and they all agreed that the quality is very good and the box office should be a big hit.
"This time, there shouldn't be anyone competing with me, right?"
Thinking this, John went online to search for movie schedules, and then he froze the next second.
