Some viewers think that SONS OF THE NEON NIGHTS is a bit too distracted and not in-depth enough. If it is divided into two episodes or a prequel, the story can be more complete; however some also praise the music, visual effects, action explosion scenes and costume designs. An action director who participated in SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT, Xiong Xinxin recently complained, "The works of psychopaths are not worth looking forward to." He responded yesterday and admitted that his words were aimed at the film company for not giving him credit; he is fighting for his own rights and interests.The Mak Chun Lung produced, written and directed, Takeshi Kaneshiro (Gum Sing Mo), Sean Lau Ching Wan, Louis Koo Tin Lok, Tony Leung Ka Fai and Gao Yuanyuan starred SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT took more than 10 years from preparation to filming and post-production and cost over HK$ 400 million. After its global premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, the movie opened simultaneously in Hong Kong and the mainland. Driven by Movie Fiesta Half Price Spectacular to celebrate national day, SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT received HK$ 1.32 million in the first day as of 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon and topped the single-day box office. The Jackie Chan starred THE SHADOW'S EDGE (PO FUNG JUI YING) ranked second with a revenue of 254,000 (cumulative 6.44 million), and the third place was Greg Hsu Kuang-han and Angela Yuen Lai Lam's MEASURE IN LOVE (TA NIN TA YUT), which received 204,000 (cumulative 640,000). According to data from the mainland site Maoyan.com, as of 7 o'clock last night, SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT grossed more than 17.7 million yuan (about HK$19.35 million) for the 6th place in the rankings.An action director who participated in SONS OF NEON NIGHT, Xiong Xinxin recently forwarded a comment from a friend who watch the preview screening of this film on social platforms, posting: "The work of a person who doesn't know how to respect others, a psychopath, even if we completed 90% of the actions according to the spirit of the contract, it is not worth looking forward to." Xiong Xinxin did not name who the "psychopath" was, nor did he mention what was the reason.Reportedly because the end credits for "action design" is credited to Tang Shui Wah while Xiong Xinxin is the "guest action director", he is very upset. Xiong Xinxin responded yesterday, "Thank you for your concern, I will only regard the unpleasantness during filming as a part of work and not worth for entertainment news use. My comments on FB (Facebook) are aimed at the film company for not giving me the proper credit, I feel that I should fight for my own rights. My words have already represented my attitude, and there is nothing more worthy of media attention." He reiterated that he had clearly expressed his attitude in every word he wrote. If he had anything else to say, he would publish it on the public platform.Yesterday all performances in Hong Kong cinemas, regardless of any movie, ticket type, or screening format, were half price, attracting the general public to go to the movies. Yesterday the traffic flow at PREMIERE ELEMENTS was busier than usual. The ticketing computer screen showed that a number of Chinese and foreign films screened during the national day including SONS OF NEON NIGHT, MEASURE IN LOVE, ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, THE SHADOW'S EDGE, DEAD TO RIGHTS, etc., generally had an attendance rate of 80% or more.Mr. Wong and his wife enjoyed SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT together. They said that Mak Chun Lung only flashed for about 1 minute at the beginning of the movie, with blood covering his face he only got a few shots. However his bomb scene was shocking and unforgettable. The background setting of the story followed; it seemed to be walking between reality and another world, which was very special. They gave SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT 80 points. "The plot is easy to understand. I know that the movie wants to express some information behind it, but maybe the film is too long and there is not enough time to explain; some people may feel that it's not quite complete. Perhaps due to the number of characters, the scenes are relatively scattered and not in depth enough. If it is divided into 2 installments or a prequel, that may help the story structure to be even more complete. We like to watch Takeshi Kaneshiro the most, other actors such as (Nina) Paw Hee Ching, (Alex) To Tak Wai's madman style, as well as the rarely seen (Wilson) Lam Chun Yin, Kam Kwok Leung, (Lowell) Lo Koon Ting, although their performances may be few but are surprising."Two other female audience members both expressed their support for Takeshi Kaneshiro, but felt that the story was a bit bland with Mak Chun Lung's consistent personal style. The two appreciated the visual effects of the picture with great artistic beauty, and the action and explosion scenes were exciting enough. They praised the late master composer Ryuichi Sakamoto for the soundtrack of SONS OF THE NEON NIGHT, which was very well in line with the artistic conception. They gave the movie 75 points.
