After the reporter interviewed several of the lead actors, the movie began to play.

In the desolate desert, amidst the yellow sand, a white-clad warrior with a gleaming spear, dressed in silver armor, rides a white horse. Before him stands a vast army of black-armored soldiers, their eyes fixed intently on Zhao Yun. This marks the first scene: Zhao Yun's seven charges in and out of Changban Slope.

Andy Lau, riding a white horse, brandished his spear and charged in. Swords and spears clashed, and Andy Lau was like a war god, seemingly poised to sweep away a thousand armies.

Not far away, Simon Yam, who plays Cao Cao, shielded his eyes from the sun and looked around: "Whose general is this? Back then, Lü Bu was already invincible, but this man is even more so."

At this moment, Andy Lau shouted: "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan!!!"

Andy Lau tethers a white horse and leaps into the air – this moment has become iconic, captured in a close-up slow-motion shot. The camera perfectly captures Andy Lau's incredibly handsome facial expression.

The audience cheered.

The opening scene alone perfectly captures the image of Zhao Zilong in the hearts of the Chinese people.

Jin Tianxia, ​​who had traveled a long way to see the premiere, gave Shen Fang a thumbs up and said, "Director Zhang, you truly deserve to be called a great director. You made a really good film. I believe this movie will achieve great success in Japan."

The leaders standing nearby were proud; this was a great honor for them.

......

The subsequent plot revolves around Zhao Yun's life and various battles. Although some episodes include Zhao Zilong finding himself in danger, Zhao Yun manages to overcome each obstacle...

The ever-victorious general, Zhao Yun, was over 70 years old at this time, with gray hair and wearing a long robe. In a turn of the camera, he exuded majesty, his face filled with a murderous aura, and his eyes were very sharp. Many directors said that Andy Lau's eyes did not have that kind of story. After communicating with Zhang Yimou, Andy Lau specially invited some high-ranking military officials to tell them about the cruelty of war in order to help Andy Lau get into character. They also invited the screenwriter to tell Andy Lau about the legendary nature of Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's final battle, Cao Ying, starring MJ Q, is a story in which Zhao Yun, though over seventy years old, ultimately achieves a pyrrhic victory and wins Cao Ying's favor.

Beautiful women love heroes.

This is only human nature.

It also adds a bit of romance, and since this kind of thing is popular overseas, it's a special extra plot point.

In the final scene, Zhao Yun removes his armor and takes a bath after the battle. His wife, Fan Xiaopang, bathes him and jokingly says, "Husband, you have served in the army for more than 50 years, yet you have never had a single wound on your body."

Driven by curiosity and a mischievous impulse, Fan Xiaopang pricked Hua Zai with a needle while he was asleep. At this moment, Fan Xiaopang tried to wake Hua Zai up for a meal, but he couldn't wake him up no matter what he did.

He died from the piercing of the golden needle; this was an ending that Shen Fang had deliberately arranged. Since he wanted to create a myth, he naturally wanted to make it a myth.

When Zhao Yun was buried, a white dragon roar suddenly rose from the originally dark Heavenly Dragon, and the white light broke through the Heavenly Dragon, instantly clearing the sky.

The movie has ended.

A round of applause erupted from the audience.

Interview session with reporters.

A reporter from Tencent News squeezed to the front: "Excuse me, why was Zhao Yun given such an ending?"

Zhang Yimou smiled and said, "This question needs to be answered by my investor, my boss, and one of the screenwriters of this film, Mr. Shen."

All eyes turned to Shen Fang, who stood up and took the microphone from Bai Yansong.

"Our goal in filming Zhao Zilong was to capture the invincible warrior in the hearts of the Chinese people. To show his heroic spirit, we naturally added some adaptations. Everyone should know Zhao Yun's life. He was an ever-victorious general who never suffered a defeat. So, what kind of ending would he have? That's what we ended up with. In the end, we used a folk saying, 'a golden needle piercing his body,' which can be considered a more legendary ending for this undefeated war god. The white dragon at the end also proves that Zhao Yun was no ordinary person."
