As an actor, it makes sense for me to know some kung fu, right?

"Mr. Xu, something is not good. Why do I feel like 'Zombie Legend' and 'Zombie Man' are both pretty good!"

That's right!

Feng Xiaoxia, who spoke at this time, had already watched "Zombie Man" and "Zombie Legend" with Xu Lu.

After coming out of the theater, Feng Xiaoxia said something worried.

Although Daxu Culture's "Mr. Phantom" has not been released today, it is a zombie movie from the same batch after all, so competition is inevitable.

Now seeing that the quality of the two rival films is quite good, Feng Xiaoxia is naturally worried that they will take away the box office that would have belonged to "Mr. Phantom".

However, Xu Lu, who was walking on the right, looked very calm at this time.

After hearing this, he smiled and said:

"You said the two movies just now were good. Can you tell me what was good about them?"

"Well, I think the horror atmosphere is quite good. The audience who watched the movie were scared a lot, and they also had the horror element of zombies!"

Feng Xiaoxia concluded.

Xu Lu nodded and said:

"You are right. As a horror movie, whether it is 'Zombie Man' or 'Zombie Legend', they are both very good..."

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia's expression became serious.

Because he had already sensed the upcoming turn from the tone of Mr. Xu next to him.

As expected, Xu Lu continued:

"But that's all. These two films can only be said to be qualified horror films that can scare the audience's adrenaline.

But to say that they are excellent zombie movies is still far from it. It does not mean that there are only a few zombies to be considered a zombie movie. "

"Mr. Xu, can you elaborate?"

Although Feng Xiaoxia grasped a little bit, he didn't think it through completely, so he asked at this time.

Xu Lu nodded and said:

“To put it bluntly, it’s very simple. In fact, ‘zombie movies’ have another name, which is called ‘Taoist movies’.

Therefore, a qualified zombie movie does not depend on whether there are zombies in it, but whether there are Taoist priests who subjugate demons.

So the question is, in the two movies we just watched, did you see any scenes in which Taoist priests exorcise demons? "

Hearing this, Feng Xiaoxia's eyes lit up.

No wonder he felt something was wrong when he was watching the movie just now.

How should I put it, "Zombie Man" and "Zombie Legend" released today are scary, but they feel different from the imagined zombie movies.

It was only at this moment that Feng Xiaoxia finally realized this when he heard Mr. Xu say it.

He nodded repeatedly and said suddenly:

"Mr. Xu, I understand. No wonder I just felt that those two movies were not... not very authentic.

It turns out that the root is here. There is no "Uncle Nine" who subdues demons and demons in their films, it is just horror. "

"Not bad!" Xu Lu nodded slightly and said:

“If all these new zombie movies were this kind of thing, it wouldn’t be a challenge at all.

In fact, I am quite optimistic about our old enemy's "Magicians vs. Zombies" which will be released tomorrow.

If you feel it carefully, although their name is a bit awkward, the title of the film has already named the theme..."

"Hey, it's really true."

Feng Xiaoxia also came to his senses, with a surprised look on his face.

Originally, he thought that the biggest competitor of Daxu Culture's "Mr. Phantom" released this time would be "Zombie Man" or "Zombie Legend" released tonight.

Because whether it is Qi Lingshan or Mou Jun, both of them are famous directors in the field of horror films and are backed by major film and television companies.

That's why he stalked the backbone of Mr. Xu, watched these two movies, and asked him to check things out.

But now after listening to what Mr. Xu said, Feng Xiaoxia also felt that the title of Xia Lifei's "Mage vs. Zombies" actually felt more like a zombie movie.

I just watched Qi Lingshan's "Zombie Man" and Mou Jun's "Zombie Legend". The plots are basically as scary as they come.

But the scene of "Maoshan Taoist" is missing.

According to Mr. Xu’s explanation of zombie films or Taoist films, if they want to be authentic, they must have the element of Taoist exorcism.

The rest of Xia Lifei's "Mage vs. Zombies" is unclear, but at least the central elements are authentic.

Thinking of this, Feng Xiaoxia suddenly said:

"Mr. Xu, how about we watch Xia Lifei's movie tomorrow?"

Xu Lu shook his head and said with a smile:

"There's no need for this. Even if they grasp the theme of zombie movies, they can't compare with us."

Seeing that Mr. Xu beside him could not be persuaded, Feng Xiaoxia had no choice but to give up this idea.

Of course, he didn't insist too much because he felt the confidence conveyed by the other party.

At this moment, two little girls walked past the two of them, and the content of the conversation made Feng Xiaoxia calmer.

I saw one of the girls saying somewhat depressedly:

"Xiaoyu, I originally thought that this movie directed by Mou Jun would be good-looking, but I didn't expect that it was just scary and not good-looking at all."

Her companion echoed:

"That's right, Sasha, I just asked Xiao Qi and several other people who went to see Mr. Zombie, and they said it was too scary, and they didn't feel like watching Mr. Zombie at all."

Sasha nodded wildly and said:

"That's what I mean. Although it is called a zombie movie, it doesn't give me the plot I want at all. It's far behind Mr. Zombie."

"It's okay, it's okay. We can see Mr. Linghuan tomorrow. It's also produced by Daxu Culture. It will definitely look better."

Companion Xiaoyu comforted him.

Shasha could only nod her head and said:

"I hope so. I always feel that the scene I watched today is just a horror movie with a zombie movie name. It is not the kind of zombie movie I want at all..."

As the two little girls walked further and further away, Feng Xiaoxia smiled directly.

Audiences are very discerning. If those viewers who watch zombie movies say that what they saw is not a zombie movie, then there must be something wrong with the movie.

Even if it is scary, even if it is terrifying, if the genre is not grasped well, failure will definitely follow them.

Similarly, Feng Xiaoxia was also a little surprised by the magic of Mr. Xu next to him, and thought to himself:

"Mr. Xu really has a sharp eye and saw the key points immediately. No wonder he didn't panic at all.

I'm afraid Qi Lingshan, the director of Zombie Man, and Mou Jun, director of Zombie Legend, don't know that they have already been eliminated first from Mr. Xu's side, right?

However, the movie "Mage vs. Zombies" hasn't even been released yet, and Mr. Xu has already shown that he is sure of victory. Why is this? "

Feng Xiaoxia was puzzled by this.

……

And with the release of "Zombie Man" and "Zombie Legend", the long-awaited film critics are finally at work.

Discussions about these two films have also begun to become lively on the Internet.
