A well-known Hong Kong film critic commented in the newspaper:

"After watching the movie "Kung Fu", I have some thoughts in my heart, not vomiting or unhappy, this movie continues the funny style that Xing Ye is used to, and has the distinctive characteristics of commercial films, I think it has three major highlights.

First, it is easy and funny, which can be seen in most movies, and is a popular element today, which can make people enjoy the fun of watching movies happily while working, and is suitable for the whole family to watch together; Second, the background idea, the background of the movie is selected in the forties of the last century, the turbulent Shanghai-Hai, the play describes in detail the cruel reality of people eating people, big fish eating small fish, if you want to survive, you must adapt to society and become one of them, otherwise you will be eliminated; Third, kung fu, the impeccable performance of mainland stars, and the well-designed martial arts movements, under his perfect acting skills, are both real and enthusiastic, which has become the biggest highlight of the movie.

The meager and shallow view is far from expressing the profound thoughts of the movie, the works that Xing Ye has been preparing for several years are not so easy to understand, maybe I will enter the theater to watch it a few more times when the movie is officially released, and solve the doubts in my heart, fans and friends can also go and see it, I believe you will not be disappointed. ”

After participating in the Hong Kong-Hong Kong premiere, the next day he went to Shanghai-Shanghai and Beijing-Beijing with Zhou Xingxing, Yuan Hua and others to attend the premieres of the two cities.

Beijing-Beijing and Shanghai-Hai, one is the capital of China, the other is an international metropolis, one south and one north form the largest movie box office in China, its importance is self-evident, and the premiere is held here, and its effect is much better than that of other cities.

And the reporter who followed the main creator of the crew had a good understanding of the whereabouts of Feng Fengyu and others. A series of reports were carried out, and the popularity of the entertainment media kept the movie on the front page of the newspaper, coupled with the propaganda advertisements of various local TV stations, the overwhelming poster offensive, and various gossip in the reality of the Internet.

After a round of premiere publicity, the film has entered the stage of scheduling, Guowei is a co-production, jointly invested by Beijing Film Studio, Huayi Company, Taihe Film and Television, Columbia Company, and Xinghui Company, in terms of the amount of films, it has obvious advantages, co-productions have always been very popular in China, and the cinema side also eats this set, and the treatment is naturally according to the highest specifications, Huayi and Columbia Company have won 35% of the film schedule after a short period of research, this number is close to the limit, in addition to the main theme film, It is difficult to increase the number of ordinary commercial films.

On December 22, the much-anticipated "Kung Fu" was simultaneously released in the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Malaysia.

In a large theater in the south, there is a giant poster on the wall at the door, the long-haired young man in the poster, his eyes are sharp, and his domineering eyes give people great pressure, and at this time, the audience outside the door is lining up, waiting to buy tickets to enter, a thin young man in the crowd, glanced at the ticket counter more than 20 meters away, and complained in his mouth, "So many people, when will it be my turn?" ”

"Hey, I started waiting half a year ago, this is Feng Shuai's first movie, it's very memorable, it's worth waiting a little longer", a fat man in the back laughed.

In the Hong Kong-Hong Kong Tongluo Wan Cinema, several young people wearing holes walked to the ticket gate with a smile all the way, and the yellow-haired young man in the lead took out the money and slapped it on the counter, "Give me six movie tickets for "Kung Fu".

"I'm sorry, the tickets for the first show are sold out, why don't you wait for the next one", the female conductor glanced at the yellow-haired young man in front of her, and said carefully.

"What ......? Don't have a movie ticket? Do you look down on me? When the yellow-haired young man heard that there was no ticket, his voice couldn't help but raise an octave, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, and looking at the female conductor viciously.

"Really...... There really isn't any", the female conductor was glared at by the yellow-haired young man, and almost didn't cry.

"Okay, give me a ticket to the next show, if you don't have one, hum", the yellow-haired young man slammed his fist on the counter and threatened.

"Oh, wait a minute", the female conductor panicked, finding out the movie tickets for the next show.

In Seoul, South Korea, a group of Koreans gathered at the door of a theater and bought tickets to enter the venue in order, two ticket windows, one was a domestic movie, and the ticket buyers had two or three big cats and kittens, which were very deserted, while the other imported movie ticket gate was lined up.

They are all attracted by the promotional posters of "Kung Fu", and choose to come to watch the movie, before the overwhelming poster offensive, and TV advertisements dazzled their eyes, as a small film country, the local shoddy small movies, have never been liked by the audience, even if it is usual, they can tolerate the lack of entertainment, however, when foreign blockbusters come, their poor patriotic enthusiasm is mercilessly abandoned.

What's more, the trailer of the movie "Kung Fu" is quite exciting, and the bloody fighting action makes them unbearable, and they are eager to enter the theater and feel the style of the blockbuster.

A reporter from a local TV station did not miss the opportunity to interview, a female reporter held a microphone in her hand and said to the camera, "Smecta, this is news online, you can see the people at the door of the theater, very, very much, the movie starring the Chinese star Wind and Rain, very popular, okay, let's walk into the theater together and see what is good about this movie, Smecta."

In a big hotel in Suzhou, after a day of publicity, Zhou Xingxing, Fengyuxing and others sat on the sofa in the living room, and the time was more than ten o'clock in the evening, but everyone did not rest, because they were waiting, waiting for the box office data of the film to be transmitted by the distribution company.

Yuan Hua leaned crookedly on the armrest of the sofa, took out a nail clipper, and carefully trimmed his fingernails, the expression on his face changed.

Yuan Qiu is still the same, sitting alone at the window, smoking her big cigarette.

Huang Yiyi played with her mobile phone absentmindedly, looking up from time to time to observe everyone's expressions.

Zhou Xingxing has read the newspaper in his hand three times from beginning to end, but he is still reluctant to put it down.

The needles in the living room can be heard, the atmosphere is a little dull, and the eyes of the wind and rain swept over everyone's faces, opening the topic, "Why don't we guess today's box office, whose answer is the farthest from the real data, who will invite everyone to dinner, how about it?" ”

"I think there should be 5 million", Huang Yiyi put away her mobile phone, her beautiful face was full of uncertainty, she was acting for the first time, she had the least seniority among the crowd, she didn't understand many things, the number of 5 million was already the limit of her imagination, and then carefully observed everyone's expressions, as if she was afraid that she would say the wrong thing.

Fengyuxing gave Huang Yiyi an encouraging look, and turned his head to look at Yuan Hua, "Miss Huang's answer is 5 million, what do you think?"

"Xingzai's appeal is good in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland, counting your fame, 6.5 million is indispensable", Yuan Hua said thoughtfully.

"At least 7 million, young boy, I'm optimistic about you", Yuan Qiu spit out a puff of smoke rings and put on a big facelift.

"8 million, if you can't reach this data, it's a failure for this movie", Zhou Xingxing put down the newspaper, his tone was full of affirmation, and he had prepared a work for several years, which made him have deep confidence.

"Young boy, it's your turn", Yuan Qiu held a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes really staring at the wind and rain.

"It can't be less than 10 million", Feng Fengxing thought about it and said, it is not unfounded, Zhou Xingxing's last movie "Shaolin Football" exceeded 4 million box office on the first day in the mainland, and Hong Kong also had 2 million, "Kung Fu" has its own joining, and it will be released simultaneously in Asia, and the box office of 10 million is not an exaggeration at all.

"I hope you're right", Zhou Xingxing had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

China is the base camp of wind and rain, since its debut for more than a year, it has been painstakingly operated, and the accumulated fans and TV series fans have reached an astonishing number, and the loyalty of the wings of the wind is the highest in the fan group, idol movies, they naturally want to support, comedy superstar Zhou Xingxing, also has a very high status in China, and has countless fans, resulting in the first-day box office, breaking the 10 million box office of Zhang Yimou's "Hero" last year, reaching 15 million yuan, refreshing the domestic box office record and becoming ever, the highest-grossing film on the first day of domestic cinema.

As a Hong Kong-Hong Kong native, Zhou Xingxing's support for him can be imagined, as soon as the movie opened, almost every show was full, and it won 4.5 million at the box office on the same day, winning the box office champion on the first day of Hong Kong-Hong Kong movies.

Since the 80s of the last century, Taiwan has been the dumping ground for Hong Kong films, for the traditional radiation range of Zhou Xingxing, each of his films must be released locally, and the influence of wind and rain in Taiwan is also quite good, his two records have good sales in the local area, and the success of the Golden Melody Awards in the first half of the year has made him no worse than that of local stars. superimposed with Zhou Xingxing's appeal, and at the end of the day, he won a box office of NT$12 million and RMB 3 million.
