A film made in 2010, the special effects can be seen to be fake at a glance, and the whole film does not give any sense of reality on the screen.
A classical martial arts film with a Chinese theme, full of Western-style props: Pei Donglai's smoke bombs, the statue of Wu Zetian resembling the Statue of Liberty, a ghost city resembling a dungeon, and the interior of a palace resembling a church. It appears frequently in the film. There is no problem in appearing, the key is that what appears is half-hearted, whether it is local or foreign, Chinese people are disgusted by it, and foreigners can accept it?
The final result is even more funny. An anti-government element who was imprisoned for 8 years for opposing Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne has completely changed after he came out. Shang Fang's mace is still in charge of passing the throne...) Where did this change come from?
The only saving grace is that the publicity is good, which once again confirms the invincible law that as long as the publicity of Chinese films is good, no matter how bad the filming will be at the box office.
