Next, Jian Fu apprenticed to learn martial arts, incorporating cat movements into Snake Style Kung Fu to create the "Snake Style Difficult Hands" segment, which captivated the audience and elicited continuous laughter.
The expression on Run Run Shaw's face changed from disdain to surprise, then from surprise to importance.
He found that the film's pacing was excellent, with light and fun dialogue scenes and novel and exciting action scenes. This balance between tension and relaxation naturally and firmly captured the audience's emotions.
Especially Jackie Chan's life-risking performances, including all sorts of high-difficulty stunts, are thrilling to watch, yet also incredibly exciting.
This kid named Chan Kong-sang... oh! Now his stage name is Jackie Chan, he's actually quite talented!
As Run Run Shaw watched Jackie Chan in the movie, this thought popped into his mind.
Unbeknownst to many, when the movie reached its climax, and Jian Fu used his self-created "Snake-Shaped Eagle Hand" to fight against Shangguan Yiyun, a master of the Eagle Claw Sect, the atmosphere in the entire screening room was pushed to its peak!
This fight was incredibly intense and thrilling, yet also full of comedic elements.
Jane Fook had his front tooth knocked out, but he used this "weakness" to bite his opponent.
The audience was stunned at first, then burst into thunderous laughter and cheers!
"good!!!"
"Well done!!"
The audience around Run Run Shaw almost all stood up excitedly, applauding and cheering.
This was a very rare occurrence in Shaw Brothers cinemas in the past, unless it was a truly exceptional film.
Even Run Run Shaw himself couldn't help but applaud the brilliant fight choreography in his heart.
For a moment, he even forgot that he had come to see a joke, and he became completely immersed in the movie's plot.
When Shangguan Yiyun was finally defeated, the movie ended with rousing music, and the lights in the entire theater came on.
After a brief silence, the entire audience erupted in thunderous applause and cheers!
"Wow! This is amazing! This is definitely the best kung fu movie I've seen all year!"
"What's the male lead's name? Jackie Chan? I'll remember him! He was amazing at fighting!"
"I was dying of laughter! I laughed from beginning to end, and the action was fantastic. It was definitely worth the ticket price! As expected of a movie that Shao Laoliu highly recommended, it couldn't be bad!"
"Let's go, let's go! I have to hurry and tell my friends to come see this movie too! You'll definitely regret it if you don't see it!"
As the audience got up to leave, they excitedly discussed among themselves, their faces beaming with satisfaction and excitement after watching a great movie.
There were no curses.
No disappointment.
There was nothing but overwhelming praise and applause.
Run Run Shaw and Mona Fong sat stiffly in the corner of the last row, listening to the tidal wave of cheers and looking at the excited faces of the audience.
Both of them looked quite unwell.
Run Run Shaw felt that he had completely miscalculated this time, and had underestimated Kobayashi Tenno's methods and abilities.
Fang Yihua frowned and looked at Run Run Shaw beside her with some concern.
This movie is so good!
The same thought popped into their minds at the same time.
They knew things were serious.
This film, *Snake in the Eagle's Shadow*, will not only avoid the box office flop they feared, but it also won't turn Kobayashi Tenno's first film into a laughing stock...
"Snake in the Eagle's Shadow" is definitely going to be a huge hit!
No!
It's not a big fire!
It is definitely going to become a super hit, a phenomenon that will be recorded in the history of Hong Kong cinema!
But this film was personally delivered to Shaw Brothers theaters by Run Run Shaw, who even personally appeared to "endorse" and recommend it...
