321: Xiong Tang: This time, shouldn't it be the day that my 'Xia Lifei Film and Television' rise to prominence?

【Awesome, awesome! As expected of our Da Xu Culture, zombie films still have to be made by them to be authentic!】

【Exactly! Exactly! It's much better than the zombie man and zombie legend I watched yesterday. President Xu is awesome!】

【Uh, although it's a bit of a shame that President Xu didn't personally direct it, it's President Xu's script after all, so it's extraordinary.】

【No problem, compared to those other flashy and vulgar ones on the market, this mr. spiritual is more to my taste.】

【Hahahahaha, even a coward like me can watch it, which is simply a blessing.】

...【When it comes to understanding zombie films, only Da Xu Culture is the best; their films are also brilliant.】

【Isn't that right? Those other zombie films are one more terrifying than the last. It feels like they haven't grasped the essence.

Although I don't know what the specific essence is, I just feel more comfortable watching those made by Da Xu Culture...】

【I knew it; films produced by President Xu's company are definitely high quality. After watching it, I was indeed not disappointed.】

【It seems that among this large wave of zombie films, Da Xu Culture still holds the top spot.】

...【It's still the familiar Uncle Jiu, still the familiar flavor. This mr. spiritual, released this time, is as good as the mr. vampire from last time.】

【I think Da Xu Culture's zombie films have their own unique style, both terrifying and funny.

Unlike other copycat works that are purely horror films with a few zombies jumping around, which aren't good at all.】

【Yeah, yesterday those Film Critics were still hyping up zombie man and zombie legend. I feel they're far inferior to mr. spiritual.】

【Heh, yesterday Da Xu Culture's mr. spiritual hadn't been released yet. When the tiger is away, the monkeys play!】

...The first thing fans did after leaving the cinema was to gather in the comment section and start discussing mr. spiritual.

Fortunately, Da Xu Culture didn't disappoint everyone.

So the comment section was bustling with excitement; it exploded.

On the other side, President Xiong, who was much more serious and cautious in his actions, had just walked out of the cinema.

There was a hint of confidence on his face.

That was because he had just watched 'the taoist priest battles the zombies,' produced by his own Xia Lifei Film and Television.

“The audience's reaction is very good. This time, it should be our Xia Lifei's turn to rise, right?”

Xiong Tang murmured.

He had even specifically stopped a few Passerby who came out of the same screening room as him.

He asked them if they had seen yesterday's zombie man and zombie legend.

Then he asked them to evaluate which of those two zombie films and Xia Lifei's 'the taoist priest battles the zombies' was better.

Unexpectedly, most people thought Xia Lifei's 'the taoist priest battles the zombies' was better.

This made Xiong Tang even happier, and he immediately lowered himself from his position as President and repeatedly thanked the Passerby.

“The audience's eyes are sharp. Although the directors of zombie man and zombie legend are very famous,

in terms of quality, my Xia Lifei is superior this time. However, The kid surnamed Xu...”

Thinking of that last point, Xiong Tang felt a bit disheartened again.

Several times before, films produced by Xia Lifei were suppressed by Da Xu Culture.

This was extremely embarrassing for Xiong Tang, the President of Xia Lifei Film and Television.

Moreover, it caused his ability and level to continuously decline in the eyes of Xia Lifei's senior management.

Xiong Tang felt that ever since he encountered The kid surnamed Xu, his luck had worsened.

“No, I can't be too complacent yet. I need to see what's going on with Da Xu Culture's mr. spiritual!”

Thinking this, Xiong Tang reined in his smile.

He immediately found someone to buy tickets for the second showing of 'mr. spiritual' and then entered the theater with the tickets.

Not long after, the plot of 'mr. spiritual' had already begun.

“A Taoist priest raising two little zombies to swindle people outside. It feels quite ordinary.”

A moment later, Xiong Tang exclaimed.

After all, the plot of their Xia Lifei's 'the taoist priest battles the zombies' this time was quite exciting.

If Da Xu Culture's 'mr. spiritual' was only at this level, then they were doomed to lose this time!

Time passed minute by minute, and Xiong Tang, as the President of Xia Lifei, sat more and more relaxed.

Because he discovered that Da Xu Culture's zombie film really seemed to be only at this level... “It's settled, it's settled. The kid surnamed Xu is resting on his laurels this time, with no progress at all.

Your mr. vampire was popular last time because there were no other competitors.

But this time, with so many competitors entering the market, it's impossible to rely on the same old stuff.”

Xiong Tang muttered to himself, somewhat excitedly.

He admitted that in his past contests with Da Xu Culture, he had been a bit careless.

That's why the other party found an opportunity, and Xia Lifei suffered several defeats.

So this time, Xiong Tang adjusted his mindset and even specifically came to watch Da Xu Culture's film.

This was to understand the situation as soon as possible and to know how strong his opponent was this time.

However, to his delight, he found that Da Xu Culture hadn't made much progress.

“It seems that due to the booming box office of previous films, Da Xu Culture has become complacent.

And this mr. spiritual wasn't personally directed by that kid Xu Lu...”

Xiong Tang felt that this time, it was the closest he had ever been to victory.

As long as he could stay steady, the ones who would laugh last would definitely be Xia Lifei Film and Television.

“The kid surnamed Xu has been smug for too long. This time, I must make him fall flat on his face!”

Thinking this, Xiong Tang smiled confidently, stood up, and walked out of the screening room.

Because he felt there was no point in watching further, and besides, this type of zombie film wasn't his favorite... In fact, at this moment, in a certain cinema's monitoring room, Qi Lingshan's expression was a bit grim.

Yesterday, he had already seen the reactions to 'zombie man' and other films released concurrently.

Originally, he didn't need to come again today.

But then he remembered that among the zombie films released today, there was a mr. spiritual produced by Da Xu Culture.

So Qi Lingshan felt he still needed to take a look.

After all, as the pioneers of the zombie film genre, they might have something new.

Sure enough, after arriving at the monitoring room, Qi Lingshan found that in the 'mr. spiritual' screening room, the audience's reaction was even more lively than when they watched his 'zombie man'.

This made Qi Lingshan a bit alarmed.

Besides his professional judgment, he also assessed the quality of a film based on the audience's reaction.

This is why Qi Lingshan always came directly to the monitoring room whenever his own films were released.

Yesterday, after watching the monitoring, he had a feeling that his 'zombie man' had the best reaction among all the works.

When the box office results were released, it validated his judgment.

'zombie man' took the top spot at the box office on its opening day with 64 million.

And 'zombie legend,' which had a slightly weaker reaction, lagged by two million in box office, only earning 62 million.

But today, Qi Lingshan found that Da Xu Culture's 'mr. spiritual' had an even better reaction.

If based on his previous judgment, it meant that their box office would be even higher.

Taking a deep breath, Qi Lingshan finally came up with a reason he could accept, thinking to himself:

“Calm down, calm down! Da Xu Culture still has a 'mr. vampire' under its belt.

Compared to us, they naturally have many more fans supporting them, so it's normal for it to be lively.

Even getting a very impressive opening day box office isn't surprising. The key is to see what happens next.”
