Almost everyone knows that those who enter the market first will definitely have an advantage.
Making a lot of money is not a problem, let alone a lot.
This is also why low-budget zombie movies are released so quickly.
As for zombie movies developed by large companies or those with strong capital, they are not content with just making a little money.
So they were well prepared to compete with other films released at the same time, aiming for a 'winner-takes-all' outcome!
"Hey, Xu Lu, are you confident? Many of the zombie movies that are being released this time are backed by companies that are quite powerful."
As the creators of zombie movies, DaXu Culture, you absolutely mustn't let yourself be overtaken by others, or I'll laugh at you!
The person who called was Reba.
Because she hasn't had any opportunities to collaborate with Daxu Culture lately, she's gone off to work on other film sets.
I just didn't expect that when Mr. Ghost was about to be released, she would call Xu Lu to ask about the situation.
In response, Xu Lu smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'm confident in this. Besides, think about it, when has Daxu Culture ever lost? Other companies may have strength, but does that mean my Daxu Culture doesn't?"
"That's true! Your Daxu Culture is probably the most popular right now. Anyway, it's good that you're confident, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if you lost!"
Dilraba agreed with this, but also expressed some concerns.
After all, there were just too many zombie movies hitting the market at the same time this year, making it a mixed bag.
Those small companies and small-scale productions don't need to worry too much; they're just hoping to make a small profit.
But there are also those with ambition, who are probably aiming for a 'final blow' against Daxu Culture this time.
It's easy to imagine how well-prepared they were.
Most importantly, there are definitely more than just one or two such companies.
The fact that so many people are willing to take the risk to rush in is certainly not just due to the box office success of a single film.
In fact, these people also have the ambition to carve up the 'zombie movie' market.
That's right!
It's about directly dividing up this new type of market, since monopolies are often the most profitable.
The first major obstacle standing in their way is Daxu Culture, the company that created the core of zombie movies.
If we don't take it down, the first thing people will think of when they see zombie movies in the future is Da Xu Culture.
Then there's no fun to be had.
So on the surface, the simultaneous release of numerous zombie films seems to be merely a competition for the current box office market.
But there is actually a deeper level of competition involved.
Although Reba sensed something, she didn't understand it deeply, so after being fooled by Xu Lu for a couple of sentences, she hung up the phone with a relaxed expression.
However, the next caller, Boss Yang, had a much longer-term vision.
After all, she's not just an actress like Dilraba; Boss Yang is also one of Xia Lifei's shareholders.
Sitting in that position, the information you have and the mindset you have are different. At this moment, you can say directly:
"Xu Lu, you can't let your guard down this time. Things are far more serious than you think..."
Xu Lu was somewhat moved when he heard Boss Yang explain things in detail over the phone.
He quickly smiled and said:
"Boss Yang, it's all thanks to you, my old boss, for caring about me. But I know what happened, don't worry, it's alright."
"Are you really alright? You should know that if you had lost this time, you probably wouldn't have been able to break into the zombie movie genre in the future."
Mr. Yang was still somewhat worried.
Xu Lu had no choice but to confess:
"Of course it's fine. In fact, I had already considered this issue when I started filming 'Mr. Vampire'."
No matter what, Daxu Culture pioneered the zombie film genre. They think they can shake my position as the originator of zombie films? Ha! Not so easy!
Hearing this, Mr. Yang finally felt relieved, but still asked with some doubt:
"Xu Lu, you said you thought of this when you started filming Mr. Vampire, is that true?"
Xu Lu smiled and said:
"It's absolutely true. Would I lie to you about something like this? When I assembled the crew for Mr. Vampire, I had already planned to shoot a series of zombie movies."
This is why the production team halted production for almost a month while searching for the most suitable lead actor. But now that I've found Lin Qiying as the lead, things are basically settled.
"It's just a character, is he really that amazing?"
Mr. Yang was somewhat suspicious, but Xu Lu smiled and said:
"It's even more amazing than you can imagine. You'll understand when the time comes. In short, anyone can make a zombie movie, but whether it's authentic or not is up to our Da Xu Culture to decide."
"Alright, since you're so confident, then I'm relieved."
By the way, you guys have already made several sci-fi movies, what about the role you promised me?
"Xu Lu, you haven't forgotten, have you?" In a relaxed mood, Boss Yang started joking.
Xu Lu responded easily to this, saying:
"How could I forget this, Mr. Yang? It's just that there aren't any major female roles in the films we're making right now, so I was thinking of leaving you a role with more screen time."
"That's more like it! Okay, I have something to do here, I'm hanging up!"
Hearing that Mr. Yang on the other end had hung up, Xu Lu also smiled and hung up the phone...
at the same time.
Within Daxu Culture, a group of people were both nervous and excited:
"Brother Feng, this time the competition our Mr. Linghuan is facing is more intense than ever before."
