Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 640 Don't Insult Traditional Kung Fu!

Zhou Yang posted an update on Instagram, calling out to audiences both at home and abroad.

"#Chinese actor Zhou Yang: I hope everyone will support my new film 'Once Upon a Time in China'!!! I didn't use a stunt double during filming; I performed all the difficult and dangerous stunts myself! Quality guaranteed! Of course, I also want to thank the hardworking staff! Their efforts are indispensable!#"

This post instantly attracted the attention of a large number of viewers both at home and abroad, with particularly high enthusiasm from domestic fans, and international fans also showing considerable interest. Likes quickly surpassed 100 million, and comments exceeded 10 million.

"Zhou! Wow! You're working so hard!"

"Such a great movie, and no stunt doubles! That's amazing!"

"Zhou is so dedicated! I was really excited while watching the movie!"

"I never expected him to actually do it himself!"

"My God! This action was done without a stunt double, it's amazing!"

"It really looks incredibly realistic! It's amazing!"

"..."

Both domestic and international netizens were shocked by Zhou Yang's performance, as he didn't even have a stunt double for his high-difficulty stunts.

That's incredibly dedicated and outstanding!

Viewers who watched the movie recalled the thrilling fight scenes, each one breathtaking.

Such success is a result of the actor's dedication, which makes it hard not to admire him.

Among the many netizens, besides those expressing their admiration, quite a few also actively supported Zhou Yang.

Wow! How can I not watch this movie again? I've decided to watch it a second time!

"It would be such a waste not to watch Zhou's movies a second time! I absolutely love them!"

"See you at the cinema, everyone! Let's go see it again!"

"Anyone want to watch it three times together? Count me in! Seeing these comments makes me really want to watch it again!"

"Jay's movies are fantastic! And he's handsome too! I'd gladly rent out the entire theater to support him!"

"..."

The supportive voices in the comments section were not unfounded.

The box office growth was surprisingly large!
On its third day of release, "Once Upon a Time in China" grossed $2.3 million worldwide!
This number continues to rise and does not seem to have stopped as the hype dies down.

By the fourth day, the film's global box office had risen further to $2.5 million!
……

To verify Zhou Yang's efforts, the total global box office figure was finally revealed after a week!

"Once Upon a Time in China" grossed an astonishing $12.6 billion worldwide in its opening week!
This number is absolutely astounding!

Who has ever seen a Chinese martial arts film with such high box office returns?
At the same time, this achievement broke the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend for an action film!
Moreover, this situation is not only due to improved data, but also because audience reviews of the film are very high, with many giving it positive feedback.

The saying that classic action movies are always worth watching repeatedly will never be outdated!
Meanwhile, despite Zhou Yang's busy schedule, Fatty Di kept pestering him to watch the movie.

Upon seeing the tense and exciting fight scene, Fatty Di jumped onto Zhou Yang's lap.

"Honey, you're so handsome! Wow! Who could be more handsome than you?!"

"Good heavens! This Liang Kuan is so clueless!"

"Hmph! Guan Ziling is quite beautiful!"

"Thirteenth Aunt is so pitiful, go save her!"

"..."

The entire living room was filled with Dilraba's voice; she was completely immersed in the movie's plot.

Whenever Zhou Yang heard her various complaints, he could only smile helplessly. Women are always like that! During the few days he spent with her, the online buzz about Wong Fei-hung's kung fu showed no signs of abating.

Day after day, a month later, "Once Upon a Time in China" finally finished its run!

However, no one can match this box office record. The global box office of "Once Upon a Time in China" reached a total of 24 billion US dollars!
It's safe to say that no one can rival it!

This Chinese martial arts film has achieved such a huge box office success.

However, such results have both positive and negative aspects.

Many traditional martial arts practitioners expressed their dissatisfaction with this, dismissing the fight scenes in the movies as child's play and exaggerated displays of skill achieved through only a few years of practice.

It would be quite interesting if they understood that Zhou Yang's skills, which he only practiced for a month, were described as taking several years.

Those self-proclaimed righteous people who claim to promote traditional Chinese martial arts are merely jealous of Zhou Yang's achievements, and therefore feel angry and ashamed.

"#Tai Chi Master Yan Fang: Don't make a mountain out of a molehill! Is the martial arts Zhou Yang shows on the big screen really traditional Chinese martial arts? It's ridiculous!"

……

"#Tai Chi Master Lei Gong: Please don't use the name of traditional Chinese martial arts to swindle people! Otherwise, others will think that this is the level you represent! If your level is not good enough, hurry up and come and learn!#"
"#Ceramic Master: As inheritors of Tai Chi, we are not to be exploited by others! Paying to learn is a sign of sincerity! We hope that those who truly understand Chinese martial arts will come to learn, so as to avoid embarrassment!#"

"..."

These Tai Chi practitioners, who consider themselves embodiments of justice, are arrogant because they have been respected for many years.

They secretly wanted a share of the profits, yet they spoke with such lofty ideals.

However, there is another group of people who believe everything they hear. Just a few days ago they were praising Zhou Yang, but now they are belittling him and supporting the Tai Chi master instead!
They're just like a weather vane, swaying in the wind!

"I see! No wonder there was nothing convincing!"

"The master is right! How could an actor like this possibly understand the profoundness of traditional martial arts!"

"It is an honor to hear the master speak! I have loved Tai Chi since I was a child!"

"I hope some actors can realize their own limitations! It's never too late to embarrass themselves after they've learned something!"

"Now that you mention it, I think Zhou Yang's moves are all so exaggerated!"

"Master is absolutely right! Traditional martial arts are not so easy to master; they are merely amateurish skills!"

"..."

Zhou Yang's fans have always been ruthless in the face of those who belittle him, and immediately fought back, vowing to make these people pay the price.

"What is this?"

"Isn't that you, the white lotus flower?"

"I saw your ID giving a thumbs up to our Brother Yang yesterday!"

"What are you saying? Am I hearing things?"

"An actor should play his role well. What are you hypocrites trying to do here?"

"Good heavens, people actually call certain individuals 'masters'? Are they monks from a temple? Monks should maintain a pure and tranquil mind!"

"Those who practice martial arts should have a calm and tranquil mind! What you people are saying is truly offensive, and you even charge a fee?"

"You are shameless! How dare you put up with charging fees so brazenly!"

"What traditional kung fu? Don't mislead young people, you're just being nosy!"

"..."
