314: Mou Jun and Qi Lingshan: Is Daxu Culture the originator of zombie movies? It's just good luck.

"How about it, Director Mou, are you confident? After all, this time we're competing with many people, including an existence like Da Xu Culture, the ancestor of zombie films..."

On Mount Heaven Film and Television's side, General Manager Xiao Song'an asked.

It was his idea to poach Mou Jun to film a zombie film this time.

Therefore, seeing that Mount Heaven's investment, zombie legend, was about to be released, Xiao Song'an couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

On the contrary, Mou Jun, as the principal, seemed very calm at this moment.

Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "President Xiao, there's no need to worry. I have great confidence in our work.

The film zombie legend not only continues the zombie film setting, but the control over various details is far better than Da Xu Culture's mr. vampire.

Furthermore, the lead actor we chose is not a newcomer with no fame; the boost from the Celebrity's reputation alone is significant.

Therefore, in this competition, I am not worried about Da Xu Culture. Instead, 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 we can suppress Da Xu Culture, which pioneered the zombie film, I won't worry at all.

As for the other companies, I believe with your accomplishments in the horror film genre, Director Mou, there is absolutely nothing to worry about."

Mou Jun nodded slightly, feeling a little self-satisfied after hearing this.

Although saying this might seem like boasting, Mou Jun still held his horror film directing skills in high regard... On the other side, Qi Lingshan, the director of zombie man, was also very much looking forward to the film's release.

The last time on the show, he was asked if the inspiration for this film came from Da Xu Culture's mr. vampire, which made Qi Lingshan feel awkward.

But since it was true, he couldn't outright deny it.

However, Qi Lingshan believed that Da Xu Culture's mr. vampire was only relying on the reputation of being the pioneering film of its genre.

In reality, it was nothing special; both the quality and the refinement of the storyline were quite rough.

Furthermore, he felt that this horror film was not scary enough.

Throughout the film, various comedic scenes completely contradicted the essence of a horror film.

His meticulously crafted zombie man this time completely abandoned these flaws.

Its plot is terrifying throughout, and it reveals deep struggles of human nature... "It should be released soon, hehe, mr. spiritual? It sounds like a remake of that mr. vampire.

It seems Da Xu Culture hasn't made any progress based on their last film. If so, how can they compete with my zombie man?"

Qi Lingshan sneered inwardly.

But soon he thought of something else, checking the recent film schedule, his eyes lingering on the names of several famous horror film directors in the industry, such as Mou Jun.

He thought to himself, "This is good. I already wanted to compete with Mou Jun and the others. This time both sides are tackling the same genre. We'll see who is the undisputed King of Horror Films!"

...These two companies were not the only ones full of confidence.

In fact, Xiong Tang and the others at Xia Lifei Film and Television, who had repeatedly lost to Xu Lu, were also very confident in their film, the taoist priest battles the zombies.

Xia Lifei had suffered several setbacks because of Da Xu Culture, especially since Director Xu only took off after leaving Xia Lifei, which caused Xia Lifei Film and Television to lose a lot of face in the industry.

Although people usually didn't mention it, whenever Da Xu Culture was brought up, the people at Xia Lifei felt somewhat blocked up inside.

"I refuse to believe we can't beat Da Xu Culture every time. Besides, the director and lead actor for their mr. spiritual this time aren't that kid Xu Lu. If we still lose like this, I might as well slit my own throat!"

Xiong Tang, the General Manager of Xia Lifei, muttered to himself at this moment.

His position within the company was currently somewhat precarious.

If he could win against Da Xu Culture just once, perhaps everything could be reversed. But if he lost again this time, then Xiong Tang would truly be 'finished.' Thinking of this, Xiong Tang even set a small goal:

"Nothing else matters. We must defeat Da Xu Culture's mr. spiritual. As long as we win against Da Xu Culture, then Xia Lifei will be considered successful this time."

It can be said that Xia Lifei's plan was different from that of other film and television companies.

Other companies wanted to carve up this new genre market, but Xia Lifei Film and Television needed to achieve victory specifically through competition with Da Xu Culture.

These film and television companies, which managed to hold back and not rush in to share the spoils in the first wave, were all full of confidence in their own works.

Coincidentally, none of these people took Da Xu Culture seriously.

Even though Da Xu Culture produced mr. vampire, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of the new genre of film.

But regarding this point, basically no one cared.

After all, in their view, even if Da Xu Culture hadn't made the first zombie film, surely Little Xu Culture or Zhong Xu Culture would have made it.

Furthermore, the directors who rushed into the zombie film genre were all conceited.

They believed that mr. vampire, as the pioneering ancestor of the zombie film, was actually mediocre in quality and only became a hit due to sheer luck.

In fact, it wasn't just industry insiders who thought this way.

At this juncture, when many zombie films were about to be released in quick succession, many netizens also thought the same:

"Da Xu Culture is in trouble this time. When they filmed mr. spiritual, they probably didn't expect so many competitors, right?"

"That's right, the competition is too fierce. Whether it's Mount Heaven Film and Television or Xia Lifei Film and Television, they are all quite powerful.

But for the audience, this is a good thing. The greater the competition, the higher the probability of excellent films appearing!"

"I don't care about competition. I just hope more hit films come out.

The films produced by those small companies before could only pass the time; none of them were worth watching a second time."

"Exactly! On the contrary, I watched mr. vampire twice more. Uncle Jiu's performance was spectacular..."

...Where there is agreement, there is naturally opposition.

"Think carefully. That's Da Xu Culture. If they can make the first one, they can definitely make the second one well.

Compared to zombie legend, zombie man, and the taoist priest battles the zombies, I am more looking forward to mr. spiritual!"

"Totally agree! They are the ancestor of zombie films. Their understanding of this genre is definitely not something ordinary people can compare to."

"I heard Da Xu Culture not only has mr. spiritual, but also exorcist police officer is currently being filmed.

Being able to directly handle two projects, it's clear they are very confident in breaking through..."

"Based on Da Xu's many previous works, I think they have a great chance of winning this time.

After all, the saying 'Produced by Great Xu, Must Be a Masterpiece' isn't just for show."

...Amidst the commotion, the powerful zombie films finally began to be released one after another.

Fortunately, although they were released in quick succession, they weren't all crammed onto the same day.

In fact, even if those film and television companies wanted to, the cinema chains would not agree to it.

According to the screening schedule, zombie man, zombie legend, and some other zombie films were set for release on Saturday.

Da Xu's mr. spiritual and Xia Lifei's the taoist priest battles the zombies, among others, were set for release on Sunday.
