Chapter 1418: Chapter 1170: Extremely High Rating

Qi Continent.

Some cinema.

The audience stared blankly at the screen.

“I never thought that, apart from Zhong Continent and our Qi Continent, Qin Continent could also produce a movie like this!”

“Xian Yu’s ranking is too low!”

“This ranking is definitely going to rise—this movie is going to blow up big time!”

“Besides being hilarious, the action scenes kept escalating and becoming more intense, and the Buddha’s Palm at the climax was the ultimate high point!”

“The buildup was exceptionally well-done!”

“Who would’ve thought the protagonist would ACTUALLY know Buddha’s Palm?!”

“The scene where He Sheng prepares for battle, wrapped in bandages by the landlord and landlady, and then the bandages shatter amidst the imagery of transforming into a butterfly—that’s a memory I’ll never forget in this lifetime!”

…

Chu Continent.

Outside a cinema.

“Bro, where are you going?”

“To watch it again!”

“Come on, it’s so late already!”

“One viewing wasn’t enough! I missed a lot of key moments. There should be another time slot later—I’ll catch it.”

“Forget it.”

“I’ll join you.”

“I’ve been itching to watch it again anyway.”

“This movie totally deserves repeat viewings!”

…

Yan Continent.

Some cinema.

“Awooo!”

“I watched ‘Royal City’ recently and thought it was nice, but after seeing this movie, ‘Royal City’ suddenly feels dull.”

“Now THIS is what you call an action movie!”

“A perfect blend of comedy and action—this is the kind of movie real men should watch!”

“Did the protagonist and the mute girl end up together at the end?”

“Yep.”

“That part was so touching—it made even this tough guy shed tears.”

…

Han Continent.

Some cineplex.

“Xian Yu didn’t lie to me. From start to finish, the musical score alone was worth the ticket price—not to mention the captivating plot!”

“Is the soundtrack available online?”

“It’s already out—I’m downloading it right now!”

“I’m downloading it too!”

“Every scene had tailored music. The fusion of sound and visuals was pure perfection!”

“By the way.”

“Did you guys spot Chu Kuang’s Easter egg from his new book in the movie?”

“No, I didn’t.”

…

Zhao Continent.

“The Kowloon Walled City one-on-one duel scene was absolute gold!”

“The moment the landlady chased down He Sheng, I laughed so hard my legs cramped!”

“Jiang Bao’s role as a supporting character was brilliant—and when he asked the landlady why there was suddenly no water, I lost it!”

“Even the opening scene where the Crocodile Gang storms the police station was incredible—what happened to the law and order?!”

“Who else is left!?”

“The final battle, the toe-stomping moment—it’s both iconic and hilarious!”

“Xian Yu is seriously phenomenal!”

“Who would’ve thought he actually understands filmmaking?! I’m going to binge-watch all his other movies later!”

…

Wei Continent.

“This was hilarious!”

“I’ve been watching comedies for years, and I can barely think of any that pack this many laughs!”

“There were so many references packed in!”

“With great power comes great responsibility—Gui was practically risking his life cosplaying a classic line from ‘Spiderman’!”

“The landlord and landlady being Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden—can you even believe it?”

“Lion Roar Skill and Tai Chi Chuan—they’re both straight out of ‘Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer’!”

“‘I see the unique structure of your bones—you’re a martial arts prodigy like no other seen in a hundred years!’ That line was flawless!”

“My favorite quote has to be: ‘A tune from a broken heart, where in the world can I find a soulmate?'”

…

Zhong Continent.

At this moment, the entire crew of ‘Royal City’ gathered in silence at the Lumiere Cinema.

After a long while.

The assistant director spoke in a hoarse voice: “Do we still stand a chance?”

The producer gave a bitter laugh: “What chance do we possibly have left?”

Liu Xing remained silent but clenched his fists.

It wasn’t out of hatred for the opponent. Having a strong opponent is no sin—the fault lies in not being strong enough oneself.

If only he had broken through his limits, he could’ve gone a few rounds against ‘Kung Fu.'”

But his film didn’t break through.

On the other hand, Xian Yu’s movie perfected the blend of comedy and action.

In this scenario, Liu Xing’s odds of victory were slim.

…

Meanwhile, at a cinema in Qin Continent where Lin Yuan was present, the filmmaking team began stepping onstage to deliver their thanks.

He Sheng!

Ol’ Zhou!

Male lead Yi Chenggong!

Female lead Yu Xilu!

The film crew was surrounded by a swarm of media reporters, whose faces were brimming with excitement!

“Mr. He Sheng, could you share your thoughts in an interview?”

“Director Yi, what made you cameo as a member of the Crocodile Gang?”

“Director Zhou, do you reckon this movie will outperform ‘Royal City’?”

“Miss Yu Xilu, your portrayal of the mute girl was absolutely stunning!”

“What were your thoughts when you first received the script for ‘Kung Fu’?”

“Mr. He Sheng, it seems your action scenes didn’t use a stunt double?”

The filmmaking team was just as excited, unable to hide their joy in front of the cameras.

The box office numbers weren’t out yet.

The movie had just premiered.

But the reactions from both reporters and audiences had already proven the film’s brilliance!

…

Online.

The night owls were up in full force.

Countless individuals who hadn’t seen the movie were discussing:

“So ‘Kung Fu’ premiered today, right? The first screening should be over by now?”

“As usual, let the big shots share their thoughts first.”

“I’m the biggest shot here—I’ll tell you: when the movie ended, the entire audience stood up. This is the first time I’ve seen such a reaction in my years of watching films!”

“That’s just normal, the movie’s over, isn’t standing up to leave pretty standard?”

“What he meant was that after standing up, everyone started clapping and wouldn’t stop—it was electrifying!”

“So it’s good?”

“No, it’s INSANELY good—it’s a classic, no further discussion required. Out of Xian Yu’s many films, this one is my favorite!”

“Really?”

“If you don’t believe me, go check out the ratings on StarSky Net—they should be out soon!”

…

Swipe, swipe, swipe!

Countless people immediately opened StarSky Net.

Sure enough.

The rating for the movie ‘Kung Fu’ was already unveiled.

9.1!

The rating shocked many!

“Damn!”

“Wait—isn’t ‘Kung Fu’ a comedy-action movie? How did it get such an absurd score?”

“This is just the beginning—ratings will drop over time, but even so, it’ll likely hold above 8.5 in the end.”

“It’s way higher than ‘Royal City’!”

“Higher is an understatement—it’s total annihilation!”

“There’s practically no criticism—everyone who’s watched it says it’s great!”

“Nothing more to say—I’m buying my ticket right now!”

“Buy quickly!”

“If it’s not good, you can beat me to death.”

“The Beast, eh? Next line: ‘Or maybe I’ll beat you to death?'”

“Pfft!”

“You guys sound possessed!”

…

Amid the widespread discussions, Lin Yuan was riding home in his sister’s car.

Inside the car.

Mom remarked with a smile: “This movie’s great—the box office is definitely going to surpass that of ‘Royal City’!”

Sister teased: “Didn’t Mom say, ‘Victory and defeat are common affairs for generals’?”

Mom glared: “A true general wins!”

Little sister asked curiously: “Will my brother’s film ranking improve?”

Sister: “Definitely, but by how much depends on the box office numbers.”

Lin Yuan didn’t respond, but his curiosity grew within.

On Earth, ‘Kung Fu’ was born in an era of limited box office potential.

In this world.

With Blue Star united.

In an era of box office explosions.

With a fully upgraded ‘Kung Fu,’ what kind of achievements could it attain here?
