"So, Director Mou, are you confident? After all, we're competing with a lot of people this time, including a pioneer like Daxu Culture..."
On the Tiantangshan Film and Television side, General Manager Xiao Song'an asked.
It was his idea to poach Mou Jun to make this zombie movie.
So, with the upcoming release of 'Zombie Legend,' invested by Paradise Mountain, Xiao Song'an couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
On the contrary, Mu Jun, who was the person in charge, seemed very calm at this time.
Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I have great confidence in our work."
The film 'Zombie Legend' not only continues the zombie movie concept, but also has a much better grasp of various details than Da Xu Culture's 'Mr. Zombie'.
Secondly, the lead actors we chose are not unknown newcomers; their star power alone adds a lot to their appeal.
Therefore, in this confrontation, I'm not worried about Daxu Culture; on the contrary, the other powerful companies in the industry pose a greater threat to us!
Hearing this, Xiao Song'an immediately relaxed and said with a smile:
"Director Mou, as long as you can surpass Daxu Culture, the pioneer of zombie films, I have absolutely nothing to worry about."
As for the other companies, I think with your expertise in the horror film genre, Director Mou, there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
Upon hearing this, Mu Jun nodded slightly, a hint of self-satisfaction in his eyes.
Although this might sound like self-promotion, Mu Jun still has a very high opinion of his own abilities in making horror films.
...
On the other hand, Qi Lingshan, the director of "Zombie Man," also expressed great anticipation for the film's release.
The last time he was on the show, he was asked if the inspiration for this film came from Da Xu Culture's "Mr. Zombie", which made Qi Lingshan a little embarrassed.
But that's the truth, and he can't deny it outright.
However, Qi Lingshan believes that Da Xu Culture's "Mr. Vampire" is just relying on its status as a pioneering film in the genre.
Actually, it's nothing special. Both the quality and the polishing of the storyline are quite rough.
Another reason is that he felt the horror movie wasn't scary at all.
The entire film is filled with hilarious moments, completely contradicting the typical horror movie genre.
His meticulously crafted 'zombie' this time completely eliminates these shortcomings.
Not only is the entire plot terrifying, but it also reveals a deep human struggle...
"I hope it gets released soon, haha. Mr. Spectre? It sounds like a rip-off of that 'Mr. Zombie' thing."
It seems Daxu Culture hasn't made any progress from their previous film. So, what do they have to offer compared to my 'zombie'?
Qi Lingshan sneered inwardly.
However, he soon thought of something else and started looking through the recent film schedule, his eyes lingering on the names of several well-known horror film directors in the industry, such as 'Mu Jun'.
He thought to himself, "Great! I was already planning to compete with Mu Jun and the others. This time, we're both working on the same theme, so let's see who truly deserves the title of King of Horror Films!"
...
These two companies are not the only ones brimming with confidence.
In fact, after suffering several defeats at the hands of Xu Lu, Xia Lifeng Film and Television and Xiong Tang were quite confident in their film "The Mage vs. Zombies".
Xia Lifei suffered several losses at Daxu Culture, especially since Director Xu only took off after Xia Lifei left, which made Xia Lifei Film and Television lose face in the industry.
Although people don't usually talk about it, when Daxu Culture is mentioned, Xia Lifei's group feels a bit uneasy.
"I refuse to believe that we can't beat Da Xu Culture every time. Besides, this time, the director and lead actor of their film 'Mr. Spiritual Phantom' aren't that kid Xu Lu. If we still lose, I might as well just slit my throat!"
Xiong Tang, the general manager of Xia Lifei, muttered to himself at this moment.
His position within the company is now somewhat precarious.
If he could defeat Daxu Culture once, perhaps everything could be turned around, but if he lost again this time, then Xiong Tang would truly be 'doomed'. Thinking of this, Xiong Tang even set a small goal:
"Nothing else matters, we must defeat Mr. Linghuan of Daxu Culture. As long as we win against Daxu Culture, Xia Lifei will be considered a success this time."
It can be said that Xia Lifei's plans are quite different from those of other film and television companies.
Other companies want to grab a share of this new market, but Xia Lifei Films aims to win the competition with Daxu Culture.
These film and television companies that managed to resist being among the first to rush in and get a piece of the action are all full of confidence in their own work.
And coincidentally, none of these people took Daxu Culture seriously.
Even after Da Xu Culture produced "Mr. Vampire," they finally enjoyed the benefits of this new type of film.
But basically nobody cares about that.
After all, in their view, even if Da Xu Culture didn't make the first zombie movie, Xiao Xu Culture or Zhong Xu Culture would definitely make one.
Another point is that these directors who rushed into the zombie film genre all have a very high opinion of themselves.
They believe that "Mr. Vampire," the pioneer of zombie films, was actually of average quality and only became a hit due to good luck.
In fact, it's not just people in the industry who think this way.
With so many zombie movies about to be released, many netizens share this view:
"Daxu Culture is in trouble this time. When they were making Mr. Ghost, they probably didn't expect so many competitors, right?"
