At the end of the summer season, Shen Teng's third film of the year, "The Invincible Swordsman", was officially released to the audience. As of 24:00 on August 23, the film earned 22.148 million yuan at the box office on its first day of release, ranking third in the single-day box office.

Previously, the cinema managers of Phoenix Entertainment's "Phoenix Cinema Manager Index" had predicted the film: Shen Teng, who does not act in comedies, plus the long-standing backlog of old films, the box office is not optimistic. It is predicted that the final box office of the film will be 155 million yuan, and the screening ratio is expected to be 27%.

Judging from the word of mouth after its release, this film, which has been in the backlog for five years, has indeed been criticized by netizens as "too old-fashioned". Netizens said that the film has a fragmented story, a chaotic rhythm, and confusing characters. No one should want this film to continue to be suppressed more than Shen Teng, "No wonder he was so twisted during the roadshow."

Some netizens even directly commented that the film was at the level of a group assignment by college students.

The biggest "selling point" of this film is probably Shen Teng. This year, Shen Teng has already released two works, "Speeding Life 2" and "Catching Dolls", both of which have good box office performances, ranking second and third on the 2024 box office list. Unlike these two comedy films, "Reverse Scale" is Shen Teng's first time playing a gangster boss, which has deviated from the comedy track, and has also made many people feel that Shen Teng's transformation has failed. However, after the first day of release, some netizens believed that Shen Teng's transformation this time had failed.

Netizens commented that Shen Teng’s acting was particularly awkward and out of place, and if the protagonist was replaced by Nick Cheung, Louis Koo, etc., the whole movie would be much smoother.

Some netizens agreed with this evaluation, saying that several shots were actually quite good, and if it were Louis Koo or Andy Lau, they would definitely look very handsome.

Some netizens also think that it can be seen that Shen Teng is trying hard to play a serious role, but the script is too weak and the character itself has no characteristics, which makes the play very distracting and a failure.
