323: Industry insiders are shocked! Xiong Tang: Reigen grossed 107 million on its first day?! Holy crap...

Looking at this string of information, Mou Jun, the director of 'zombie legend', was completely stunned.

After a while, he finally came back to his senses, muttering:

"This is too outrageous. Over 100 million on the first day, which is 40 million more than my zombie legend's second-day figures..."

Thinking of this, Mou Jun felt a bit disheartened.

He was already a little depressed because the box office growth of zombie legend hadn't met expectations.

Now, seeing that someone else's first-day box office had directly surpassed 100 million, he became even more dejected.

After all, he had seen that 'mr. spiritual', and he didn't feel it was particularly exciting; the quality was just average.

Compared to Da Xu Culture's previous mr. vampire, there was no improvement in technique; it was the same old routine.

But they just reaped the benefits of being the 'ancestor of zombie films', securing 107 million in first-day box office.

"Why didn't such a good thing happen to me? Otherwise..."

Mou Jun shook his head, took a deep breath, and thought to himself:

"However, the highlight of this mr. spiritual should only be today. It will definitely decline later.

Whether a movie can maintain its popularity ultimately depends on its quality. Once the benefits are exhausted, its true colors will be revealed.

By tomorrow, or at most two days later, I expect the box office for this film will drop sharply..."

Thinking of this, Mou Jun finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

But when he remembered that Qi Lingshan's 'zombie man' box office was still above 'zombie legend', he couldn't smile anymore... Someone equally as depressed as Mou Jun was probably Xiong Tang from Xia Lifei Film and Television.

The moment he got the box office data, he was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.

In fact, the first-day box office for 'the taoist priest battles the zombies' under their film company was very good, reaching 71 million.

That's right!

This figure was quite a bit higher than yesterday's first-day champion 'zombie man', and it even almost caught up to its current day's data.

This should have been a cause for celebration.

But the key was that even though 'the taoist priest battles the zombies' had a box office of 71 million, it wasn't the first-day box office champion.

Because above it, there was a film that earned 107 million on its first day.

If it were a film from another company, Xiong Tang probably wouldn't be so depressed.

However, what made him most annoyed was that this first-day box office champion was none other than 'mr. spiritual' from his old rival, Da Xu Culture.

"107 million, what the heck..."

Xiong Tang glanced at the data again and immediately swore.

After a good while, he finally pulled himself together.

Although Da Xu Culture had a significant lead in first-day figures,

Xiong Tang didn't believe this meant their film was also far superior in quality.

Like most people in the industry,

he felt that Da Xu Culture's figures were due to the accumulated success of their first film, 'mr. vampire'.

This was a special advantage that no one else had this time.

So, it made sense that their 'mr. spiritual' had a first-day box office significantly higher than everyone else's.

"Though it's annoying, it's a fact. We can only look at the subsequent data.

I refuse to believe that with Da Xu Culture's attitude of resting on its laurels, the subsequent box office can remain so strong!"

Xiong Tang cursed inwardly.

He believed that if their Xia Lifei Film and Television also had a film with accumulated success, they might have achieved similar glory this time.

After all, as someone who had seen their film,

Xiong Tang felt that Da Xu Culture's 'mr. spiritual' really didn't have much appeal; it was purely consuming nostalgia... Speaking of the two above, of course, we also have to mention the situation of Qi Lingshan, the director of 'zombie man', at this time.

He was probably the calmest of the three after seeing the box office data at this moment.

After all, even when he was in the cinema's monitoring room, Qi Lingshan felt that 'mr. spiritual' was receiving a good response.

He had already anticipated that Da Xu Culture's film would definitely have a beautiful first-day box office.

Now that the box office data was released, Qi Lingshan found that his prediction was indeed correct.

However, the fact that its first-day box office exceeded 100 million was still a bit beyond his expectation.

And another thing that surprised him was the film ranked second on the first day.

"the taoist priest battles the zombies' first-day box office also reached 71 million? What the hell is going on?"

Qi Lingshan was indeed a bit confused.

In his opinion, the name of this film was already quite funny.

It was so easy to understand, not like a horror film at all.

But unexpectedly,

this film, ranked second on its opening day, had a higher box office than his 'zombie man' on its opening day.

That's right!

'the taoist priest battles the zombies', which was directly crushed and rubbed into the ground by Da Xu Culture's 'mr. spiritual' in terms of box office data, actually had reason to be proud in front of other films.

No wonder Qi Lingshan was utterly bewildered after seeing this data.

Compared to Da Xu Culture's 'mr. spiritual', Xia Lifei's 'the taoist priest battles the zombies' was still just a small flop. But when it was compared to 'zombie man', 'zombie legend', and 'millennium zombie king', it transformed into a big shot.

Who could explain that?

..."Uncle Ying, I told you not to worry, not to worry. See, you can relax now, right?"

At Da Xu Culture,

after seeing the first-day box office of mr. spiritual, Feng Xiaoxia said with a smile to Lin Qiying:

"107 million, the top box office on the first day, and the top among all films currently showing. You are truly amazing, old man."

"Oh, I'm not worried anymore, I'm completely not worried now!"

Lin Qiying also nodded repeatedly, his face full of excitement.

As the lead actor of 'mr. spiritual', he was actually quite anxious before the film's release.

After all, he came from a cooking background, and achieving one success was already incredible.

Lin Qiying himself had never thought about whether he could succeed a second time.

Moreover, this time was unlike the previous 'mr. vampire', where Director Xu was the director and also had a role.

So, these past few days, Lin Qiying had been very nervous, almost losing interest in filming 'exorcist police officer'.

Fortunately, Feng Xiaoxia would occasionally encourage him and guarantee him with Director Xu's name, which barely allowed Lin Qiying to relax.

But true relaxation only came at the moment he saw the first-day results.

A first-day box office of 107 million, even Lin Qiying knew it was a very good figure.

Of course, he didn't believe that 'mr. spiritual' achieving such results was his own credit.

So Lin Qiying clearly stated:

"But Producer Feng, this isn't because I'm amazing. To have such a box office, it's all thanks to the script provided by Director Xu."

Feng Xiaoxia also nodded, smiling and saying:

"Director Xu's contribution is certainly the greatest, but Uncle Ying, your performance in the film was also very outstanding.

If you ask me, before long, you will surely be Uncle Jiu, the demon-slayer, in the hearts of netizens."

"That's also thanks to Director Xu! Otherwise, I'd still be helping out in the kitchen of the film crew, stir-frying dishes!"

Lin Qiying's smile was radiant upon hearing this, and his gratitude towards Director Xu was equally evident.
