Cloud Peak Scenery
Chapter 294 Changkong, Canjian, Feixue!
The story of *Hero*.
It takes place during the late Warring States period, an era of turmoil when the seven powers vied for supremacy.
At this time, the Qin state stood alone in its strength!
Pressuring the other six states until they could barely breathe, and eager to annex them and unify the world, causing immense suffering!
To resist Qin, warriors from across the six states sought to assassinate the King of Qin and resolve their homeland's plight.
In Zhao, there were three famous assassins: Long Kong, Can Jian, and Fei Xue.
The three were renowned throughout the martial world, and the King of Qin took note of them.
To eliminate these three, the King of Qin offered generous terms.
Anyone who could kill Long Kong could operate within 20 steps of the King of Qin.
Killing Can Jian and Fei Xue allowed one to operate within 10 steps.
This matter began three years prior when Can Jian and Fei Xue infiltrated the Qin palace to assassinate the King of Qin.
But at the last moment, Can Jian didn't strike the final blow.
Fei Xue didn't understand Can Jian's thoughts, and this caused a rift between them.
Three years later, a Qin warrior named Wu Ming, a Zhao native hiding his identity, joined the assassination mission to avenge his country and family.
He infiltrated Qin and spent ten years training to become the most skilled warrior.
To allow Wu Ming to approach the King of Qin, he feigned defeat at Wu Ming's sword in a leaky-roofed chess house.
Wu Ming sought help from Can Jian and Fei Xue.
Can Jian directly refused, and his attitude further displeased Fei Xue.
Can Jian told Wu Ming not to attempt to assassinate the King of Qin, but Wu Ming didn't heed his advice and still bravely came to Qin.
On the road to Qin, Can Jian left Wu Ming with two words: Tianxia (All Under Heaven).
He explained that this was the truth he had learned over the years.
The King of Qin must not be killed.
Fei Xue, filled with deep hatred, could no longer understand Can Jian's dissuasion.
To prove his love for Fei Xue and his love for their land,
Can Jian ultimately died by Fei Xue's sword.
Fei Xue, filled with remorse, ultimately committed suicide with Can Jian in the desert, leaving her maid Ru Yue to weep alone.
The King of Qin then summoned Wu Ming.
Wu Ming's success in killing the three assassins allowed him to stand within ten steps of the King of Qin!
Wu Ming seized this opportunity and approached the King of Qin!
But in the end, after a moment of ideological struggle, Wu Ming chose to give up.
Wu Ming ended the years of war and historical grievances for the sake of the country and its people.
In the end, the King of Qin lived.
And Wu Ming walked out of the palace, meeting a heroic death amidst a rain of arrows!
The whole story can be described as magnificent and deeply moving!
The Chinese people's inherent sense of national identity, the chivalry of a great hero, serving the country and its people... All these emotions intertwined, causing everyone who watched the film to gasp involuntarily.
"Watching it once is simply not enough!"
"Yes, there are still some things I haven't figured out!"
Especially after Wu Ming put down his sword, this feeling reached its peak.
The audience in the cinema hadn't emerged from the shock in their hearts even after the film ended.
This magnificent epic film portrayed the characters' inner emotions with minute detail.
This allowed the audience, who were completely immersed in the film, to subconsciously identify with the characters.
When the lights in the screening room came on, these people were still sitting in their seats, reluctant to leave.
They eagerly grabbed the people around them to discuss the plot they had just watched.
"As expected of Lu Xuan's production, this movie is definitely worth the price of admission, but there are too many details. I think I need to watch it a few more times to see all the details."
"Yes, the combination of the visuals and music is seamless. Especially the scenery, it's so beautiful it touched my heart. Let's watch it again sometime!"
"This movie truly fleshed out the image of a chivalrous hero in my mind. This is the quality a hero should have!"
"I really don't know how Lu Xuan's mind works. How did he make this movie so good? It's so satisfying to watch these veteran actors act. I wonder if there's another chance!"
"Indeed, after watching this movie, watching those idol dramas will probably cause withdrawal symptoms and make me want to throw up on the spot!"
The audience in the screening room was intensely discussing the movie, but the reviews were unanimously positive.
Some impatient viewers had already picked up their phones and started posting their opinions online.
Although it was late at night, Weibo was still bustling.
Film critics who stayed up until midnight to watch the movie posted their opinions online.
"*Hero* is definitely a milestone in film history. This work shows the director's dedication to polishing the plot and characters. You can see the director put his heart and soul into it. As expected of Lu Xuan's production, the quality is worth every penny for those who are interested in this film to go to the cinema."
"Moreover, the highlight of this film is not only the plot. The scenes of veteran actors acting are even more exciting, coupled with the patriotism it contains, I still couldn't break free from this emotion after walking out of the cinema. I felt the weight of these five thousand years of history."
"Although my requirements for movies have always been high, this movie is perfect in my mind. I am not afraid that posting this content on Weibo will attract criticism from netizens. Good is good. I hope that if netizens are interested, they can go to the cinema to enjoy this movie!"
This film review immediately caused an uproar on Weibo.
Just like the article said, the content of the comments below the article was mixed.
There were paid trolls hired by competitors, there were some maverick internet wits, and there were many enthusiastic netizens watching the excitement.
"I fell asleep after watching this movie for a while. It's extremely boring. One of my friends went to the toilet five or six times in a row. I don't recommend everyone to watch it!"
"Good heavens, five or six times to the toilet. This friend of yours really shouldn't watch movies, he should go see his kidneys to see if they're leaking!"
"This review was paid for. I used to follow him because he criticized domestic movies sharply, but now it seems that he has finally succumbed to reality. Alas, making money, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"
"I won't go to the cinema to watch it, that'll make you anxious. Such a low-quality movie, and it's domestic. You really want to trick me into going to the cinema, no way!"
"Thanks for the invite, I'm at the entrance of the cinema, just came out of the screening room. Now I'll talk about my opinion of *Hero*. First of all, I think it deserves ten points, a full score of ten..."
"Upstairs, you're on the wrong set!"
The online buzz hadn't reached Lu Xuan yet. He was chatting with the other main actors.
Since the second half of the movie, Chen Daoming had been standing, staring intently at the screen in the screening room.
After seeing the end credits scene of the movie.
He finally breathed a long sigh of relief and sat down on his chair.
"Good, good, good!"
Three consecutive "goods" made everyone else in the room laugh knowingly.
Obviously, Chen Daoming was very optimistic about this movie.
Lu Xuan looked at Chen Daoming and asked, "What do you think?"
"Satisfied, extremely satisfied!"
Chen Daoming didn't hesitate to give a thumbs up, praising his most proud student.
