Chapter 1415: Chapter 1169: Buddha’s Palm

It’s close to midnight.

Qin Continent.

A certain cinema.

Countless movie fans have already bought tickets for “Kung Fu,” including many of Xian Yu’s supporters.

“Liu Xing’s ‘Imperial City’ is selling like crazy.”

“I was thinking maybe Fish Papa could win, but Liu Xing didn’t slip up. In this situation, it’s going to be tough for Fish Papa to pull off a comeback.”

“Not necessarily.”

“I see lots of people still buying tickets.”

“The early promotion was strong, but the movie will be in theaters for a month. Marketing alone won’t sustain the entire period; it’s all about quality, and this time the opponent’s quality is very high too.”

“Whatever, I’m here for the music.”

“Hahaha, ain’t wrong there. Anyway, our Fish Papa doesn’t rely on movies to make a living.”

“I checked the screenings; they’re not fewer than ‘Imperial City.'”

“Both sides have equal slots. In a few days, whichever performs better will get more screenings.”

…

Su City.

At the biggest cinema under Earth Theater Group, the “Kung Fu” team held its premiere.

This time, Lin Yuan didn’t attend.

But Lin Yuan privately went to the theater wearing a mask, along with his family.

His sister asked nervously, “Do we have a chance to outdo ‘Imperial City’?”

His mom replied nonchalantly, “Wins and losses are commonplace in battle. There’s no need to dwell on it; Xiao Yuan just needs to do his best.”

His younger sister asked curiously, “Then why are you so determined to invite all your square-dance buddies to watch the movie, Mom?”

His mom casually replied, “Because I can afford it.”

Lin Yuan chuckled, feeling a warm sensation in his heart.

He knew it wasn’t just his mom; his sister had invited her colleagues to watch the movie, although she didn’t join them.

Meanwhile, his younger sister sent out plenty of red envelopes in her university’s class group to encourage everyone to support “Kung Fu.”

At that moment.

The lights in the theater suddenly went out.

The audience instantly perked up!

The big screen lit up, and the movie officially began!

…

Lin Yuan’s “Kung Fu” is very similar to the original version.

The biggest difference compared to the original “Kung Fu” is in special effects and technology.

The original “Kung Fu” was in 2D.

Blue Star cinemas now feature glasses-free 3D technology.

Lin Yuan incorporated it into the film, and with better special effects, the production costs naturally increased.

But the benefit of this was:

The immersive experience shot up dramatically!

On the big screen.

In slightly dim colors.

A police station.

Sounds of smashing filled the air, accompanied by painful screams.

In the next instant.

Director Yi Chenggong makes his entrance.

The room erupted in a collective gasp of surprise—clearly, no one expected Yi Chenggong, the director of the movie, to personally act in it.

“Who else?!”

Yi Chenggong’s acting left people stunned!

Clearly just a director, yet he perfectly portrays a swaggering, arrogant character.

Pointing at a gorgeous woman in a cheongsam standing in the corner, he seemed to have the turbulence and darkness of that era etched onto his face: “Such a beautiful woman, and just for spitting on the ground, you’ve dragged her here. Is there any justice left? Is there any law?”

The audience promptly burst into laughter.

No way.

You’ve already busted into the police station, and you’re still asking if there’s justice?

…

Zhong Continent.

Lumiere Cinema.

Liu Xing and the main members of his “Imperial City” team were also watching the film.

At this point.

The gangster boss played by Yi Chenggong had already left the police station, one hand stroking the cheongsam-clad lady’s hip.

Across from the police station stood a cinema.

Yi Chenggong chuckled, “I’d do anything but make movies—the cinema is always empty on Sundays.”

Heh.

Laughter rippled through the front and back rows.

Everyone knew Yi Chenggong was a director.

Even those unfamiliar with him before would have found out during the “Kung Fu” press conference.

Now hearing Yi Chenggong’s satirical remarks, many couldn’t help but crack up.

Amid the audience’s laughter.

The atmosphere on the big screen suddenly shifted.

A creepy sound came from the distance.

As Yi Chenggong snapped back to attention, the police station had already shut its doors quickly!

The background music kicked in: “If I Don’t Go to Hell.”

The oppressive tension of an impending storm started to build, accompanied by the emergence of a group of Axe Gang members clad in black suits. In an instant, the movie’s grand cinematic vibe took shape—a vibe unique to blockbusters!

Following this.

The Axe Gang obliterated the Crocodile Gang.

Brother Sum led the Axe Gang in a graceful dance.

Liu Xing’s expression subtly shifted; the soundtrack was indeed brilliant. But beyond the music, the pacing of the plot was remarkable—so effective that Liu Xing felt a strange sense of foreboding.

…

Kowloon Walled City.

Jiang Bao shouted at the top of his lungs, “Landlady, why is there no water?!”

Following Jiang Bao’s line, the landlady made her first appearance, revealing her sharp, scathing personality.

The landlord appeared too.

And around the film’s thirteenth minute, He Sheng, who played the protagonist, made his entrance.

Normally, by conventional movie standards, introducing the main character so late would seem like a pacing issue.

But in “Kung Fu,” this notion seemed irrelevant. By the time He Sheng showed up, many didn’t even realize that thirteen minutes of the movie had already elapsed.

At this moment.

He Sheng, accompanied by a Fatty, pretended to be members of the Axe Gang, trying to extort protection fees. This led to a clash between the two sides.

“According to the rules of the underworld—fight one-on-one!”

“Five-foot tall and a half-inch short—that’s you. Admit you’re short…”

“The old man with glasses being all cocky…”

“Not you, uncle—I mean that little punk over there. I’ve tolerated you for a long time. Come on!”

“None of you look human—the duel’s off for today!”

The cinema erupted in laughter for the first time!

In Kowloon Walled City, this bunch either towered like giants or sported muscles like buffed-up bulls. Even the farmer auntie could throw He Sheng into a coughing fit with one punch.
