Avatar has managed to create records of sorts in Hong Kong. Movie goers in this part of the world have managed to see the revolution in the world of cinema. One of the latest films, Avatar, has been declared a super-hit as it managed to break all box-office records previously held in Hong Kong. The single day record created by this film has increased the expectation of people who constantly flock to theatres to watch movies of this type.
It is not hard to find people having different fantasies. And one such fantasy is watching porn movies of all types. Avatar belongs to this category. It is a movie with difference. At least, this is the way how it has been received here in Hong Kong.
People love seeing blue-cat people of giant size. But this liking is surely way less than the liking that people have for nude pictures and especially those that are full frontal in nature. After having grossed $340,000 within a single week, the 3D porn movie has indeed able to take the crown of being the sole film to have achieved so much in such a short span of time. The film, in fact, ran across 73 screens during this whole while. The 3D film that we are talking about is 3D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy. Never before has any film garnered such positive reviews in such a short time. Indeed, this film has come a long way to achieve an iconic status.
The film, 3D Sex and Zen has been adapted from ‘The Carnal Prayer Mat’, a classical novel that depicts sexual exploits of a young scholar from the Ming Dynasty. Stephen Shiu is the producer of the film while the cast included AV idols from Japan. As per the Hong Kong rating system, the film has been placed in category III. For some reasons, the screening of the film in Mainland China was blocked. However, the producers of the films made it clear that different versions of the film would be created to enable it to pass censorship in most areas and make it available for larger distribution network. IMAX and Hoyts have taken up the responsibility of screening the film in Australia.
As a marketing strategy, 3-D mouse pads, T-shirts that had the pictures of casts were sold during the Chinese New Year, 2011.
In spite of having toppled Avatar to the crown of highest grossing film in Hong Kong market, 3D Sex and Zen and Avatar have similarities that cannot be ignored. Interestingly, both these films have been adapted from different sources. While the porno film was adapted from a famous novel, Avatar got inspired from ‘Fern Gully’.
This soft porn film comes as a big relief to an industry that has been hit hard by internet porn in the most recent years. The ‘wow factor!” that was missing all this while has been restored, thanks to the 3D porno. The leading cast of the porn film include Hayama Go, Saori Hara, Lan Yan, and Vonnie Lui.
