"As expected of two masters in the horror film field, their new works are quite impressive."
I've seen both "The Legend of Zombies" directed by Mou Jun and "The Zombie Man" directed by Qi Lingshan; they're both excellent horror films..."
"These are terrifying. I feel that these two zombie movies are much scarier than Mr. Vampire, the movie that pioneered the genre."
"That's right, I went to see it with my girlfriend yesterday, and I stayed in her arms the whole time."
"Damn it, are you even a man? Hiding in a woman's arms like that, I really look down on you!"
Hey bro, is your girlfriend free today? I'd like to ask her to go see a horror movie, but I don't know...
"Personally, I think Zombie Man is better than Zombie Legend, especially since it leaves you with lingering fear after watching it."
...
"Um, the discussion upstairs is so lively. Am I the only one who thinks these movies are a bit off?"
The original Mr. Zombie wasn't that scary at all, okay?
These zombie movies that have been released focus solely on horror, and it feels like they're overdoing it!
"Yes, yes, yes, that's exactly what I felt at the time, that's exactly how I felt!"
The newly released Zombie Man and Zombie Legends feels no different from previous horror movies; it's just that there are zombies.
But if you say this is some kind of zombie movie, I really don't see anything new or exciting about it..."
"Exactly, Mr. Zombie is more to my liking, and he's not that scary."
"So, after watching Zombie Man, I'm even more looking forward to the release of Mr. Ghost. I hope it's good."
...
Amidst the lively discussions among netizens, the day quickly passed.
Late at night, the box office figures for all films on Saturday were released.
In particular, the production companies of these films, which were released on the first day, had already been paying close attention to them.
After all, they are trying to make a living in a new genre this time, and the box office performance on the first day will directly affect whether they can make big money in the zombie film industry in the future.
"So, how much did it gross at the box office?"
Even Mu Jun, who always thought highly of himself and remained calm, couldn't help but ask a question at this moment.
"Director Mou, our Zombie Legend film grossed 62 million on its opening day, ranking second among newly released films..."
At this point, the young man who had walked in paused for a moment before continuing:
"The top-ranked player is 'Zombie Man' from Supreme Entertainment, who has two million more than us. On the first day, they had sixty-four million."
The remaining box office results are: third place 'Flying Zombie' for 41 million, fourth place 'Millennium Zombie King'...
"Zombie, Qiling Mountain, 64 million!"
Mu Jun had no interest in listening to what the other person was saying next, and muttered to himself.
As the saying goes, those in the same trade are enemies.
Although its 'zombie legend' earned 62 million in box office on its opening day.
Judging from the data, it's actually quite good.
But now he heard that Qi Lingshan, also a horror film director, earned 64 million for his film "Zombie Man".
This caused the initial joy that Mu Jun had just felt to vanish without a trace, and he thought to himself:
"There's still plenty of time, let's take it slow and see who has the higher total box office!"
...
On the other side.
Qi Lingshan, the director of the film "The Zombie Man," which topped the box office on its opening day, was in a very good mood.
He dreamed of surpassing Mou Jun, but he never expected to succeed in the zombie film genre.
"Hahaha, 64 million, number one at the box office on the first day."
Hahaha, after Mu Jun's Zombie Legend, there were 62 million left, he's 2 million short!
Qiling Mountain is glowing red.
For him, today can be considered a day of double happiness.
Not only were his own zombie movies very popular in the market, but they also outperformed Mu Jun's films at the box office.
For Qi Lingshan, beating Mu Junyuan was even more gratifying than a box office hit.
"When I watched the surveillance footage, I felt that the atmosphere in the zombie screening room was better than that in Zombie Legend."
Looking at the box office figures now, my gut feeling was definitely right, hahaha.
Qi Lingshan was in high spirits, pacing back and forth while muttering to himself:
"As long as the zombies can stabilize the situation, I will not only be able to suppress Mu Jun."
Even in this wave of zombie movies, Qi Lingshan has a great chance of outshining everyone else!
Director Qi was thrilled when he thought of this.
It's worth noting that at least a hundred directors and companies have jumped into the zombie film genre this time.
Qi Lingshan's ability to stand out among so many people speaks for itself.
It's easy to imagine how much praise they'll receive in the future, and how much profit they'll reap in return.
...
Compared to Qi Lingshan and Mu Jun, the other production companies were not in such a good mood at this time.
The third-ranked "Flying Zombie" only grossed 41 million on its opening day, while the fourth-ranked "Millennium Zombie King" only grossed a little over 20 million on its opening day.
It can be said that only the top three have a chance to make money; from fourth place onwards, it's already quite good if they can just break even.
As for the films ranked fourth and below, the probability of them losing money is very, very high.
Of course, some industry insiders who were just watching the spectacle were also discussing this data at that moment:
"Director Mou and Director Qi are indeed the two most capable directors; these numbers already qualify as a blockbuster!"
"Yes, with over 60 million on the first day, as long as we can hold on, we might even reach 1 billion."
