Personally, the quality of "Qingming Sword" is between leSe and pass, and it is a tasteless movie. The first time I watched this movie, the crew was fighting with Ang Lee. Strictly speaking, it was the crew of Qingming Baojian who was fighting against the imaginary Ang Lee. This movie was also ruined by a self-righteous gang war. In marketing, Ang Lee, as a master figure, did not answer at all. The crew abruptly raised the expectations of "The Sword of Qingming" to the height of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", basically announcing the suicide of the film.
"I tried to stage another miracle through the sequel to the copycat "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but the gap was too big, and it finally failed miserably in both the box office and word of mouth" (media comment).
