Saw everyone off.
Hu Yibao and Jiang Gangmeng chatted for a while and then went back.
Zhenguo Martial Arts School.
Hu Yibao was lying in his bedroom, holding his phone, reading reviews about "Mr. Zombie" on major ticketing websites.
A Heart That Loves You: "Thank you so much, Director Hu, for inviting me to the preview of Mr. Vampire. I've already finished watching it, and it's so good I can't even describe it in words. But I have to say this: everyone, go see Mr. Vampire in the cinema! It will completely overturn your perception of zombie movies."
The cute little princess said: "I just finished watching Mr. Vampire. Sitting in the theater, I couldn't wait to post a review. Mr. Vampire is really a very, very good zombie movie. The plot is gripping and the scene setting is unique. By the way, don't come alone to watch it at night, otherwise I'm afraid you won't dare to go back."
Zhang Yida: "Mr. Vampire is absolutely the pinnacle of zombie films, and I mean all zombie films put together. It's terrifying yet humorous, constantly keeping you on edge and laughing. The character of Uncle Nine will definitely become a classic in zombie films; he's absolutely outstanding! I really admire Director Hu for finding such an excellent actor."
There are no socks in the slippers: "Mr. Vampire is not just a simple zombie movie. It also contains a lot of Mr. Hu's own philosophy of life, and it also creates many excellent characters. There is the righteous Taoist Jiushu, the pitiful female ghost Xiaoyu, the funny disciple Wencai, and the most handsome Qiu Sheng played by Director Hu."
…
Hu Yibao was happy to see these comments.
Netizens were shocked.
Throughout June, they were talking about Hu Yibao's zombie movie.
From the beginning to the end, the unanimous conclusion is that it will definitely fail.
The preview of [Mr. Vampire] is over, and they are all waiting for the first wave of review feedback.
However……
On major film review websites.
What was expected did not happen.
What the hell?
Not a single bad review.
You should know that Hu Yibao's highest-rated film, "Charlotte's Troubles", still received several negative reviews after the preview.
It’s Mr. Zombie’s turn, all good reviews!
And there are all kinds of praises, from the plot of "Mr. Vampire" to the characters, and even the props.
It was completely the opposite of what I expected.
The online public opinion was instantly in an uproar.
Netizens have questioned the rave reviews for "Mr. Vampire" after the preview.
On Weibo, there was also a hot search about Hu Yibao buying internet trolls.

"This navy, it's too obvious to hire them!"
"After more than 30 years, a zombie movie can still reach its peak."
"I also want to make some extra money, can you take me with you?"
"You're trying to trick me into going to the cinema? No way! There aren't any classic zombie movies these days."
"What the hell, what the hell? They're all positive reviews. Anyone who hires online trolls knows to post one or two negative reviews."
"Oh, I didn't expect that Hu Yibao would end up with the navy."
Hu Yibao just glanced at these remarks and was too lazy to respond.

Walk upright and sit straight.
No need to waste time responding.
Let the works speak for themselves.
But, here's the interesting thing.
After posting on Weibo, Hu Yibao looked at the box office estimates for "Mr. Vampire" made by major professional film review websites.
