[Impermanence] also explodes, making Xi Zai the envy of all men in Hong Kong.

Chapter 142 [Impermanence] also explodes, making Xi Zai the envy of all men in Hong Kong.

An hour and a half later, the first group of moviegoers left the theater.

This also brought out the hottest movie reviews.

"In a word, beautiful!"

"I originally thought it would be a terrible movie that just piled on jokes haphazardly or relied on sex appeal and eroticism, but I was surprised to find that the jokes were plentiful and fresh, and while there was some erotic content, it wasn't vulgar at all. The movie was unexpectedly good!"

"I really didn't expect that this movie was written and directed by Xi Zai himself. Putting everything else aside, this movie alone absolutely deserves the title of a talented man. It's just a pity that he's not the male lead!"

"Are you kidding me? With Xi Zai's looks, he can play the male lead in this movie? Xiao Lou's character is obviously something he wrote for himself!"

"Damn it, that guy in the small building eats way too well. He not only got Ah Ying pregnant, but he also slept with such a beautiful and well-endowed woman like Ah Mei!"

"Although there was no nudity in the movie, Xi Zai definitely figured it out and understood it thoroughly during filming!"

"How can this guy eat so well! It's infuriating!"

"The thought that his girlfriend in the real world is Vivian makes me even angrier!"

"However, the songs in this movie are really good. I paid special attention to them. The first and last songs are sung by Vivian, and the one in the middle with a male voice is actually sung by Xi Zai!"

"Wow, Xi Zai sings really well? He sounds just as good as Jacky Cheung!"

"What I'm more concerned about is that the lyricist and composer of all three songs are listed under Xi Zai's name!"

"So, will Xi Zai write his own album in the future?"

"If every song was this good, I'd buy them all!"

The audience chatted as they left the screening room, then used their ticket stubs at the counter to exchange them for gifts: the first volume of "Impermanence".

And they couldn't wait to watch it.

Then they exploded.

"Holy crap! Impermanence! It really is Black and White Impermanence!"

"But this Wuchang is so handsome! And Murong Qiya, oh my god, how can a girl be so handsome!"

"So, the protagonist Black Flag Tiger's sword really is a weapon used to fight monsters—a Zanpakuto! A sword specifically for severing souls; it truly is a fine sword!"

As a bonus, the first volume of "Impermanence" doesn't contain much content; it only explains the protagonist, Black Flag Tiger's, special characteristics and introduces the concepts of spirit and illusion.

Meanwhile, the female protagonist, Murong Qiya, appears. In order to save Black Flag Tiger's family, she shares her power of impermanence with him, making him a substitute impermanence and giving him his own Zanpakuto.

The original Zanpakuto were mostly designed based on the tachi.

He Xi changed the name of the comic and the names of the characters, so naturally the katana setting was no longer retained.

Instead, they used various traditional Chinese swords to replace the original Zanpakuto.

The weapon that replaced the unsealed Zangetsu when it first appeared was a large-sized Zanbato (horse-slaying sword).

The handle is 30 centimeters long, the blade is 1.2 meters long and a dozen centimeters wide.

It looks incredibly fierce.

He Xi originally wanted to change the name of his Zanpakuto to Zhanlong, but it was the same as the name of the magic weapon Zhanlong Sword in his newly published novel [Zhu Xian].

So it's still called "Zhan Yue" (斩月).

The names of subsequent moves also largely follow the original.

The Zanpakuto of other people, except for Hyōrinmaru which has a distinctly Japanese style, basically retain their original names.

They just modified the design.

Just as He Xi had thought, the concept of Zanpakuto has indeed aroused readers' longing for their own unique weapons.

Among fans who have read the manga, the most discussed topic is the Zanpakuto (sword/sword).

While everyone was discussing it, major print media outlets also released their first wave of film reviews for "Sex Is Zero".

He Xi saved the money she would have spent on the premiere and used it to buy news coverage.

In addition, the movie was really good.

The first wave of film reviews were mostly positive.

[Full of laughs], [More than just a comedy, it's about a man's growth], [If you can't win over your goddess, it's just because you weren't sincere enough], [A bittersweet laugh, you'll regret not watching], [The funniest comedy film of the year] —

Similar positive reviews quickly appeared on the news pages of major media outlets.

During this time, [yes!] continued to disagree, nitpicking everything from camera language and editing techniques to actor performances and even the background music.

In particular, the intimate scenes between He Xi and Asami Kanno became the focus of their attacks.

"As a director, he made no attempt to benefit himself, and the new actor Yang Sihan's lips were deformed from being kissed."

"How could someone like that be worthy of the Jade Maiden Sect Leader!"

"Furthermore, he made Vivian Chow sing dance songs, which is a desecration of the 'Queen of Jade Girls' and a provocation to the entire Hong Kong music scene!"

"This kind of pervert and blasphemer should be kicked out of the entertainment industry immediately!"

【Yes!】This isn't just mindless criticism. Throughout the entire movie 【Sex Is Zero】, He Xi did indeed arrange all the passionate scenes for herself.

There's no denying that.

But the rest were just empty words.

Anyone with eyes can see that "Form Is Emptiness" is above average in terms of both technical aspects and the actors' performances.

While it may not be considered a classic, it is definitely an excellent film.

The result was that the contrarian attitude of "yes!" not only failed to diminish the popularity of "form is emptiness," but actually increased its fame.

After its first four days of screenings, "Sex Is Zero" had grossed over 600 million at the box office.

Not particularly amazing.

However, this is a low-budget romantic comedy film directed by newcomer He Xi and starring complete newcomer Chen Xiaochun.

This box office performance is already quite excellent.

Xinbao Cinemas has committed to a screening period of at least three weeks.

Some film critics have given a final box office estimate of around 1500 million.

This is higher than the Lunar New Year release, "God of Gamblers II: The Rise of the Dragon".

Just as "Sex Is Zero" was released, the 94 Spring Festival film season came to an end as scheduled.

Just like in the original timeline, "God of Gamblers II: The Final Chapter" only grossed 1400 million at the box office.

He Xi's sudden surge in fame couldn't save the movie.

It almost faced a boycott from movie fans due to false advertising.

Ho Hei was able to beat "God of Gamblers II: The Final Battle" with a romantic comedy, which made many people exclaim that Hong Kong Island is about to produce another sharp director who can act and direct!

However, He Xi is an action actor by profession, so many people want to know when he will direct and star in an action movie.

Should we shoot a period martial arts film or a modern action film?

When He Xi went out to attend an event, she was also stopped by reporters who asked her this question.

He Xi smiled slightly at the camera.

"Now, I wonder if anyone still questions my abilities."

"Whether it happens or not, I will continue to make movies, and the script for my next movie is already written."

"It's an action movie!"

"This time, I'm playing the male lead myself."

"As for the female lead, she'll probably be a child—"
