Return to the room.
Hu Yibao heard his cell phone ringing.
“La la la!!”
"I'm a small newspaper seller..."
In order to have a good rest, Hu Yibao did not take his mobile phone with him all day and just left it in the bedroom.
Hu Yibao picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table.
The bell is still ringing.
"...If you don't walk properly, you might fall."
"The mud all over my body makes me laugh..."
I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Jiang Gangmeng calling.
"It's already past eight in the evening, why are you calling?"
Hu Yibao was confused and answered the phone. Jiang Gangmeng's voice was heard immediately.
"Hey, Mr. Hu, congratulations!"
"Congratulations on what?" Hu Yibao was a little confused. It seemed that there was nothing recently worth Jiang Gangmeng calling to congratulate him late at night.
"Mr. Vampire's box office has already exceeded 300 million!" Jiang Gangmeng said immediately, "It's received rave reviews online!"
"About this matter..." Hu Yibao's expression was calm.
This is completely expected, there is nothing to be surprised about.
The god of director's strength is there. Even if he is making a two-person action movie, he is aiming for a double harvest of box office and good reputation.
However, the fact that "Mr. Vampire" has only grossed 300 million now is indeed a bit surprising. Hu Yibao had expected that it would take until the early morning to achieve this level of box office results.
"Um..." Hu Yibao's calmness made Jiang Gangmeng on the other end of the phone slightly stunned. After hesitating for a moment, he slowly said, "Shouldn't this be a happy thing?"
Hu Yibao said, "I'm happy."
"Okay!" Jiang Gangmeng replied, "Maybe it's because I've seen too many big scenes."
In a hotel, Jiang Gangmeng held his mobile phone and shook his head, thinking that he was too naive.
For Hu Yibao, who has occupied the top three spots in China's box office, there is no need to be too surprised by the success of "Mr. Vampire".
"Why!"
However, Jiang Gangmeng still sighed deeply in his heart.
On the day of its release, it exceeded 300 million.
Looking at the entire history of zombie movies, the box office of this kind of zombie movie is enough to reach the top even at its most glorious time.
Any director, including myself, would be so excited about such an achievement that he would probably not be able to sleep all night.
Jiang Gangmeng then said, "However, Mr. Hu, this time, Mr. Vampire has brought another brilliant breakthrough to the zombie film industry, which has been dormant for over 30 years."
Jiang Gangmeng said this without any modesty.
The cumulative box office of hundreds of zombie movies shot in the past thirty years is probably not as high as that of "Mr. Vampire".
The success of "Mr. Vampire" will also attract a lot of capital to target zombie-themed movies.
Soon after, when "The Taoist Priest Yimei" is released again and the box office is still booming,
Just like comedies, there will be endless zombie movies coming out.
In Jiang Gangmeng's mind, if Chinese films were compiled into a history book, he, Jiang Gangmeng, would probably only have a few words to introduce them, but Hu Yibao would definitely have a whole article to introduce them.
Because for Chinese films, the achievements Hu Yibao had made at this time had made him an unavoidable hurdle in the history of Chinese films.
"Forget about leading to glory." Hu Yibao's voice rang in Jiang Gangmeng's ears, "I just want to make movies quietly."
If someone else had said this, Jiang Gangmeng would probably have sneered.
But when Hu Yibao said this, he meant it sincerely.
Jiang Gangmeng admired Hu Yibao's state of mind. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Boss, I still want to say sorry to you here."
"I didn't like your zombie movies before."
"I thought your film would flop, and I even considered persuading you to give up making zombie films."
In Zhenguo Martial Arts School.
Hu Yibao listened to Jiang Gangmeng's words and couldn't help but ask with interest, "If I [Mr. Zombie] fail, what are you going to do, Director Jiang?"
As for Jiang Gangmeng's disapproval of zombie movies, Hu Yibao thinks that's not a big deal at all.
After all, no normal person can see it except myself.
Jiang Gangmeng replied, "I'm going to let it become a setback for you, but also a comfort to you."
"Wait until next time to comfort me!" Hu Yibao said with a smile, "Okay, Director Jiang, go to bed early and wait for your "Modern Family"."
"Goodbye, boss!"
Hang up the phone.
Hu Yibao opened his phone and looked at the box office data of "Mr. Vampire".
It’s already 310 million.
Under the comments on the ticketing website, 300,000 people rated it, with a score of 9.9.
Hu Yibao, who was so high, even thought he had hired a group of internet trolls to get the high score.
The comments below are all positive.
Red High Heels: "Just finished watching Mr. Vampire at the cinema! Wow! This movie is so good, definitely the best zombie movie ever, combining elements of horror and comedy. I didn't expect that in the hands of Director Hu, he would create such a unique feeling."
Xiaoxin's family: "I took my new girlfriend to see it. It was amazing. She was so scared that she kept crawling into my arms. After we came out, she told me that her parents were not home tonight and she was afraid to sleep alone. Tonight, we should be able to get to home plate. I will go see Bao Ge's next zombie movie."
Twins: "This movie is really thrilling. When it's scary, your heart will jump out of your chest. When it's funny, you can't even close your mouth. I highly recommend Mr. Vampire. You'll definitely regret it if you don't watch it."
