Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 365 Is Stephen Chow only good at making terrible movies?

the next day.

After a lot of hard work, the sound effects for "Kung Fu Hustle" were finally completed, and Zhou Yang and Stephen Chow finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The official Weibo account of the movie "Kung Fu" then released a promotional poster.

In the poster, Zhou Yang stands out in the center, with a giant lollipop in his left hand and a sharp axe in his right, while the figures of many axe gang members are vaguely visible behind him, attacking him.

This image is full of nostalgic and retro style, giving people a visual experience reminiscent of Hong Kong films from the last century.

The release date is set for two days from now.

Some fans were disappointed after seeing the poster, which was extremely similar to that of "The New King of Comedy".

"Oh dear! This style feels like it's just repeating the same old tricks."

"With a poster design similar to 'The New King of Comedy,' perhaps this is another boring and tasteless movie."

"Brother Yang, I admire you, but I'd rather watch 'The Admiral: Roaring Currents'."

"The person on the top floor is right. So far, they haven't shown any sincerity whatsoever!"

"Sigh, Chinese films are even worse than Korean films, they're getting worse and worse!"

"Brother Yang, you've made us nauseous, but you can't blame us for not supporting your boring movies."

"..."

The South Korean film "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" grossed 1.2 million won on its opening day, a figure that is approaching the opening day and single-day box office records for South Korean films in my country!

As for cinemas, they did not expect "Kung Fu Hustle" to receive poor reviews, let alone that "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" would achieve such outstanding results.

In the emergency, cinemas quickly decided to reduce the number of screenings of "Kung Fu Hustle" and increase the screening ratio of "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" to 35%!

This move set a record for the highest screening rate of South Korean films in our country's history.

The cinema chain's actions took Zhou Yang and Stephen Chow by surprise.

However, neither of them felt overly nervous, because excellent films are not afraid of competition!

Stephen Chow led his crew in a flurry of promotional activities.

In order to save time, the "Kung Fu" crew had to fly to two or three cities a day for promotional activities.

Whether during the promotional activities or on the way to the next city, everyone was fully focused on the promotional work.

Recently, the box office of "The Admiral: Roaring Currents" has been soaring, accumulating an astonishing figure of 4.9 million!

After topping the daily box office for three consecutive days, this film became a dark horse at the box office.

The lead actors even opened new accounts on social media to express their gratitude to the audience, and this news quickly became a trending topic.

Zhou Yang couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking to himself that China's anti-Japanese war dramas were heavily criticized, while foreign dramas of the same kind were much more forgiving. Why was that?
"Sure enough, the grass is always greener on the other side!" Zhou Yang thought to himself.

Three days later, Kung Fu Hustle finally made its debut on the big screen.

To celebrate the film's release, the filmmakers held a grand screening event in a large cinema, ready to share the joy with the audience.

Inside the lounge, the cast and crew waited quietly for the film to start.

Suddenly, a series of cheerful cheers came from outside.

"Zhou Yang's work is bound to be absolutely brilliant, I can't wait!"

"Stephen Chow's movies these days have all been terrible, and this one is sure to be no exception!"

"The Admiral: Roaring Currents is truly spectacular; I heard that Korean actor is incredibly handsome!"

"Heh, what's Zhou Yang? He's just a narcissist!"

"This producer of bad movies, from 'Operation Red Sea' to 'The Wandering Earth,' is just trying to make money."

"Kung Fu Hustle is doomed this time, no matter how hard they try, nobody will watch it..."

"Heh, you bunch of people suffering from Zhou Yang's PTSD, just wait and see what happens!"

"Looks like everyone here is a fan of Zhou Yang. Let's wait and see!" Stephen Chow narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhou Yang with surprise, saying, "Zhou Yang, what does the term PTSD mean?"

Naza, standing nearby, chuckled and explained, "They're just a bunch of people who are jealous of Zhou Yang's success. Every time they see Zhou Yang achieve something, they can't help but start attacking him and his work."

"Ah, I see." Stephen Chow suddenly realized.

"It's really just jealousy and envy!" Stephen Chow said, frowning.

"Yes."

Zhou Yang shrugged, looking somewhat helpless.

Just then, a staff member's voice came from outside: "Kung Fu Hustle is about to start ticket checking. Please line up in an orderly manner to enter the venue."

“Let’s go out too.” Stephen Chow was the first to stand up.

Soon, all the audience members were seated, and Zhou Yang and his group quietly left the theater and took their seats in the first row.

The movie officially begins with a scene in a police station.

All the officers looked terrified and turned to look in the same direction.

This scene immediately piqued the interest of the audience.

The camera then pans to reveal a banner that reads "Evil Buster".

Suddenly, a policeman was violently shoved aside, his body swaying in mid-air, causing the banner to shatter into pieces. He eventually fell heavily to the ground, his condition unknown.

"Who else!"

A domineering voice echoed throughout the police station.

All the police officers present seemed to have encountered a ghost, and they all turned around and pretended to be focused on their work.

At that moment, a middle-aged man with a menacing appearance appeared in the hall and angrily said, "An elegant lady has been brought here just because she spat on the floor. Is there no justice? Is there no law?!"

He grumbled as he walked to the attic railing, his face full of dissatisfaction: "Your chief has to give our Crocodile Gang some face, otherwise he can forget about continuing as chief. Don't you fucking recognize me?"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't know that woman was your wife."

The police officer was curled up on the ground, his face bruised and swollen, and he apologized in a humble voice.

Nonsence!

The crocodile gang leader spat directly into the policeman's face.

The officer instinctively dodged, and the Crocodile Gang leader immediately flew into a rage, yelling, "You're still dodging?!"

He kicked the kettle next to him, and boiling water was poured onto the police officer, who screamed in pain.

The audience in the movie theater gritted their teeth when they saw this scene.

"That ugly bastard is too arrogant!"

"Ugly and disgusting! Absolutely nauseating!"

"This ugly guy, doesn't he look a bit like director Feng Xiaogang?"

"It's Feng Xiaogang! Is he playing himself?!"

"..."

The movie continues, with the crocodile gang leader arrogantly walking out of the police station with his female companion and henchmen.

The streets were eerily quiet, and there wasn't a soul in sight across from the movie theater.

"No matter what business I do, I will never go into the film industry. Look at Sundays, the movie theaters are deserted, there's not a single person there!"

These words drew knowing smiles from the audience, full of humor and witty banter.

At that moment, the background music suddenly changed from light and melodious to tense and jarring, instantly arousing the audience's emotions, making them tense and full of anticipation.
