"After all, he is a famous director ranked 38th on the Blue Star Film and Television List."
"Do you think "Imperial City" can beat Xianyu?"
"Of course. Even though Xianyu did a good job in publicity, the quality of the movie still matters. Publicity can only determine the initial box office."
…
Qinzhou.
Many people are discussing this online.
"Liu Xing played this card well. It was released one day earlier than Kung Fu, and he wanted to get a head start."
“I choose Kung Fu!”
"That's true, but there are quite a few people in Qinzhou who chose to watch "Imperial City" today."
"After all, he is a great director from Zhongzhou, so there is no need to elevate it to a regional level. When Kung Fu is released, there will be many people from Zhongzhou who will support it."
"With such good publicity, I feel that Kung Fu might be able to win."
…
Qizhou.
"This is really a competition. The promotion of Kung Fu was already at full capacity, but I didn't expect Zhongzhou to launch a strong counterattack."
"Liu Xing's films are basically all hits, so Xianyu will have a hard time fighting this battle."
"It's because it's hard to beat, that's why Xianyu is working so hard on publicity."
"I compared Xianyu and Liu Xing's historical scores. In general, Liu Xing's is indeed much higher."
“The ranking is relatively fair.”
"Xianyu doesn't have to win. It's considered a win if they are not too far behind their opponents. After all, there is a gap in rankings."
…
All continents.
All major cinemas.
Movie fans walked into the cinema one after another.
The premiere scene.
Liu Xing even invited numerous big names from Zhongzhou to help out, creating a very good atmosphere.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the movie "Imperial City" was officially released!
Swish!
The curtain opens.
The movie begins with a battle between two armies on an ancient battlefield.
"Your Majesty will lead the army in person!"
"To pacify the country!"
"Follow me and kill!"
There is no doubt that it is the work of a top director.
As soon as the movie started, the cruelty of the battlefield was vividly displayed.
This is a movie about the dispute among princes in ancient times.
The war serves to set the tone and explain the background of the fictional story.
The battle was won.
The world is pacified.
On the way back to the capital, the old emperor was injured due to leading the army in person, and the attacks from all sides on the position of crown prince began.
Grudges and love affairs take turns to play out.
at last.
The hero, the least favored prince, seeing that he had no hope of becoming the crown prince, actually made a desperate attempt to force the emperor to abdicate and rebel!
Inside the imperial city.
Battles took place one after another.
At the end of the story, the old emperor was one step ahead and used his unparalleled strategy to deal with his unfavored younger son.
"You can take what I give you, but you can't take what I don't give you!"
The gray-haired old emperor beat the male protagonist to the point where he was on the verge of death.
When the hero was taken to the execution ground.
The imperial concubine's mother in the palace was given white silk to hang herself.
This is a tragedy.
The old emperor had gained his throne through rebellion.
The male protagonist just followed his father's old path.
It's like a cycle.
The difference is that the male protagonist died and the eldest prince got the throne.
Sudden.
The last shot.
The second prince has the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf!
The movie ends here.

After the movie.
The whole network is discussing it.
"Commercial films by top directors are different from those produced on an assembly line. It's a cycle."
“That shot at the end is so cool!”
"This kind of blank space is the most meaningful. The supreme position of this imperial city may be stained with blood."
"In ancient times, if one's position was not obtained properly, this kind of drawback would occur."
"Even father and son can become enemies in front of the throne."
"It was very enjoyable to watch. It was very sad when the hero died, but at the same time it was very shocking."
“The visual effects are so good, but I always feel that this movie is too focused on the gorgeousness and epic feeling of the pictures, and the plot is relatively weak.”
"I expected him to give me 9 points, but he only gave me less than 8 points."
"Liu Xing's performance was normal. It's not a big surprise, but it's much better than the average movie."
"It seems like he wants both box office and word of mouth, and trying to balance the two is a bit of a loss, but the box office should be very strong, and it's worth watching even for the big scenes."
Some people like it.
Some people think it's average.
Overall, this is a movie that is worth the money. Even if it is criticized, no one dares to say that it is a bad movie.

"I was a little nervous before, but now I don't have to worry anymore. Kung Fu can't be better than us!"
"Xianyu probably wants to change the schedule now."

"It's too late to change."
"The arrow is on the string and must be shot!"
"Kung Fu is released tonight at 12 o'clock."
"To celebrate, I suggest that our crew watch the premiere of Kung Fu together. Some people have mocked us for doing negative publicity for him, so let's show them how magnanimous we are!"
