Chapter 502

~7 min read 1,368 words

In the eyes of Wu Zhanlang, Uncle Da, and others looking at a beast, she asked with teary eyes if he didn't want her anymore.

Tsk tsk, I can only say that sincerity is the greatest weapon.

No matter how high-level a scumbag is, as long as you still have a little bit of conscience, when a girl puts her whole heart on you with teary eyes.

It's impossible not to be moved at all.

After finally comforting Zhao Jinmai, Xu Feng started to do business, walked up to the golden green leaf of Stephen Chow, and greeted with a smile:

"Uncle Da, are you interested in acting in my new show?"

"What role?"

Uncle Da raised his eyebrows and asked...

Although he is currently in a semi-retired state, he naturally has heard of Xu Feng's name.

Xu Feng quickly and briefly described the plot framework of *Slam Dunk* to Uncle Da.

He hopes the other party can play the role of Coach Anzai.

"I've acted in a sports coach role once before."

Uncle Da touched his chin beard with interest.

Obviously, he is referring to Stephen Chow's *Shaolin Soccer* more than ten years ago.

In Xu Feng's impression, the only influential anime soccer theme is probably *Captain Tsubasa*.

Xu Feng once had the idea of finding Messi to play Tsubasa Ozora and Ronaldo to play Kojiro Hyuga.

However, after calming down, Xu Feng gave up this idea.

The quality of *Captain Tsubasa*... to be honest, it's hard to describe.

At least in Xu Feng's view, this is a work whose name is greater than its reality.

It can achieve the status of his previous life largely because it was born early and had no rivals at the same time.

And the biggest problem with *Captain Tsubasa*, Xu Feng thinks, is not that the author doesn't understand the rules of soccer at all, nor the murderous soccer special moves that can be 50-50 with murderous basketball.

It's that every character is portrayed too stereotypically.

It feels like the personalities of most people throughout the whole story are the same.

Never give up, work together, forge ahead... these positive energy spirits are precious, but everyone has this personality, which makes it too boring.

Tsubasa Ozora, Jun Misugi, Hikaru Matsuyama—Xu Feng can't even tell what the differences in their personalities are.

Like the characters in *Slam Dunk*, they basically have this attribute of forging ahead, but everyone has their own characteristics, and it won't cause a stereotypical impression.

*Kuroko's Basketball* and *Prince of Tennis* are the same.

Although they also have murderous skills, the character portrayal is indeed eight streets ahead of *Captain Tsubasa*.

Kuroko is Buddhist, Ryoma is arrogant, Kagami is bold, Tezuka is calm... each character has its own characteristics.

The only drawback is... a bit gay.

PS: This book has reached 400 chapters, thank you for the support of the readers.

*Dragon Ball* as the final work is basically a nail in the coffin.

Currently, I have prepared three major sports manga: *Slam Dunk*, *Prince of Tennis*, and *Kuroko's Basketball*.

The author plans to have *Slam Dunk* account for the most, and the other two will only write some highlights, after all, there are fewer famous scenes in murderous basketball and murderous tennis.

But it still depends on everyone's opinions, let's have a vote.

*Jackie Chan Adventures* seems to have a high voice, but the author hasn't watched it yet, but it is temporarily placed in the backup list. If many people choose it, the author will make up for it.

Secondly, there is *Chainsaw Man* that the author likes very much.

Add the last option *Attack on Titan*, I don't know if I can write so many, I beg everyone to vote more.

Xu Feng naturally had his own reasons for scheduling *Ultraman Tiga* for August.

Because the movie *Angel Has Fallen to My Side*, which he previously collaborated on with Bai Jie—oh no, with Liu Yi—was set for theatrical release in July.

Naturally, he couldn't let *Tiga* steal the spotlight from his own people.

"Emmm... of course Xu Feng's reputation is guaranteed, but he didn't personally act in this show, right? I think I'll watch Mary's first. It's finally vacation time, I want to watch a comedy to cheer myself up."

"Two tickets for *Brother, Hello*."

"Little sister Wang Shengdi is too cute, she's the ceiling for looks and acting among the post-2010s generation. But she's in both *Homecoming* and *Angel Has Fallen to My Side*, which one should we pick?"

"Uh... *Homecoming*, I guess. The cast for this show is terrifyingly good, over eighty percent of the leads are A-listers. This director is truly loaded."

"*Lighting Up the Stars* is also worth a look. The little girl Yang Enyou is quite cute too, even though she played the character Sakura Haruno in *Naruto*, whom I don't like."

"I'm definitely watching *Angel Has Fallen to My Side*. So many little girls, and I also want to see Bai Jie's brilliant performance."

"What the hell is 'Bai Jie'? Tell me! Did you 'beat your meat' again last night?"

"Brother, do you still have the resources? I can't find the uncut version anywhere online right now."

"That's simple, go check BiXGe, and if it's not there, go search X."

"Thanks, brother. Good people live safe lives."

……

With the arrival of summer vacation, movie theaters in every city were swarming with people.

Teenagers with acne on their faces made up at least half the crowd.

Having been squeezed by school for the past half-year, they finally had a space to let loose.

For young people of this age, the name Xu Feng was synonymous with a deity.

But unfortunately, Xu Feng did not personally act in the movie *Angel Has Fallen to My Side*.

So its drawing power was naturally much lower.

This was relatively fair to the other films.

Let's just decide the winner based on quality.

Well, it's fortunate Xu Feng didn't hear that.

Otherwise, he might have laughed until he pissed himself.

You lot want to talk to me about quality?

……

……

After the opening day box office figures came out, a bunch of behind-the-scenes capital backers and lead actor teams received the latest box office results almost simultaneously.

On July 1st, the total box office for domestic films broke 1.3 billion!

To be honest, achieving this result without Xu Feng personally stepping into the fray.

It was astonishing.

After all, everyone has seen for themselves how rotten the domestic market has become.

And leading the box office charts... were *Brother, Hello* and *Homecoming*.

There wasn't even a shadow of Xu Feng's *Angel Has Fallen to My Side*.

Liu Tao, who had divorced her husband and moved from Shanghai to Beijing alone with her daughter, was stunned.

Holy crap, did I just waste my efforts for nothing?

After putting in so much, risking getting proctitis, did I really just act in a flop?

But it wasn't surprising; comedy films have a natural advantage.

After all, in this goddamn era where capital runs rampant and everyone is about to be sweetened into a stupor.

Even students want to watch something lighthearted in their spare time.

Therefore, *Brother, Hello*, produced by Mahua FunAge and starring Mary and Chang Yuan, naturally became the first choice for many viewers.

Xu Feng's drawing power in the film industry really cannot be compared to the TV industry.

Although in the last two years, platform owners led by iQIYI and Tencent Video haven't been acting like humans.

But if you want to watch a show, you can watch all you want for at most 30 yuan a month.

Whereas watching a movie easily costs forty or fifty yuan, and it only lasts two hours.

Therefore, viewers are naturally more cautious when choosing a movie.

As comedies, *Brother, Hello* and *Homecoming*, which gathered many big names like Aaron Kwok, Duan Yihong, Rong Zishan, and Wang Shengdi, naturally became the first choice for more viewers.

……

However, by the very next day, just as many people were muttering to themselves, "Is Xu Feng finally about to fall from his pedestal?"

Something that left the film industry dumbfounded happened. ===== CHAPTER 899 =====
