China Watch Blog has learnt that when VIP tickets went on sale for
3-D Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy – the world’s first three-dimensional
soft-core porn movie in Hong Kong – fans queued overnight to make sure
they got one.
A large group – all of them men – lined up last weekend outside the
offices of China 3-D Digital Entertainment on Morrison Hill Road,
Causeway Bay, on Hong Kong Island, so as to be the first to get their
hands on pre-sale VIP tickets when they went on offer at 11am the next
morning.

The Sunday Morning Post reported that a VIP ticket guaranteed a
place at the front of the cinema for the best seats in the house and a
perfect view of all action. The pre-sale VIP tickets cost HK$100. The
local production’s initial run in Hong Kong is scheduled for April 14
to 25. Cinemas across the city will screen it.
Box office returns will determine how long the film will run in
cinemas after that. The price of standard tickets will vary from cinema
to cinema.
As well as getting their VIP tickets, the first 50 lucky ticket
buyers were also treated to a kiss from one of the film’s busty stars,
Vonnie Lui Hoi-yan from Hong Kong, who was making a special guest
appearance at the ticket sale.
The film’s Japanese star, Saori Hara, was also there to dispense some kisses as well.
The 3-D sex movie was based loosely on a piece of classical Chinese
erotic literature, the Carnal Prayer Mat, written by Li Yu in the 17th
century, which stars the two Japanese adult-film stars, Hara and Yukiko
Suo, mainland actress Leni Lan and Lui from Hong Kong.
And to keep the goodies of the movie under wraps, film director
Christopher Sun Lap-key, did not reveal too many details of the show,
but he did promise orgies, swinging and same very graphic sex scenes.
The HK$25 million period drama will not make it to mainland China
because of its sexual content, but you can bet on it that many, many
mainland men will come to Hong Kong to watch it.
Some might even get addicted to it, and come back for repeat performances.
