I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

That damn Wu Baige, she caused so much trouble, and the movie she made was a pile of crap.

The celebrities who were invited to the premiere were all dumbfounded.

As actors, they still possess an appreciation for art.

After watching "Red Cliff", they felt they should wash their eyes after returning home.

What the hell are these terrible movies?!

In history, Zhou Yu was not considered particularly great and righteous, but the Zhou Yu in "Red Cliff" became a melancholy man. Did they watch a fake Three Kingdoms before?

And what kind of lines are these? Can't you put some effort into them?
[Prime Minister, excessive desires and longings can also lead to a runaway mentality.]

Is this the kind of line a guard would say to Cao Cao?
Given Cao Cao's personality, it would be strange if he didn't kill him.

Cao Cao's reply was even more cringe-worthy: "Haven't you heard that desire makes one young?"

Is this something Cao Cao would have said in history?

Even if he liked Xiao Qiao very much, given Cao Cao's ruthless and ambitious nature, would he really talk to a mere guard like you about these things?

Viewers are suspicious that the guard might be the supposedly dead Guo Jia in disguise, otherwise why would Cao Cao speak to the guard so politely?

It should be noted that "wind-head syndrome" was a taboo subject for Cao Cao.

Zhuge Liang was also completely ruined.

I have some knowledge of this; I've delivered cows before.

This is ridiculous! They've turned Zhuge Liang into a genius. When Zhuge Liang uttered this line, his image completely collapsed in everyone's mind.

And Sun Shangxiang even gave Zhuge Liang a shy smile. What's that? Is she planning to cuckold Liu Bei?
There are just too many references to "Red Cliff".

Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu's conversation: Do you know why I wrote so much about peace?

Zhou Yu: Peace is a blessing.

Xiao Qiao: Ping An is a name... Then she took off her outer clothes, gently pulled Zhou Yu's head into her stomach and said: Listen.

As he listened, Zhou Yu suddenly rested his head on Xiao Qiao's belly and began to sing a little tune.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

What are they even performing?
It's supposed to be about the Battle of Red Cliffs, but it feels a bit risqué!
There's also the scene where Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang play the zither and exchange ideas, with a level of absurdity comparable to Stephen Chow's comedies.

The movie was so bad that there were too many flaws to count.

Made.

Everyone wanted to curse, but considering Wu Baige's status in the entertainment industry, they held back.

Cheng Sheng really wanted to laugh. He hadn't found "Red Cliff" this funny even when he watched it from another memory. After watching it live, he felt that Wu Baige was ruining a classic!
When Cheng Sheng read Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he felt quite fond of Cao Cao. After all, most people would like Cao Cao and admire his ambition to unify the world.

But Cao Cao in "Red Cliff" is simply unbearable to watch. He fought the Battle of Red Cliff not to unify the world, quell the chaos, and establish a new dynasty, but simply for Lin Chih-lin's version of "Xiao Qiao".

Ok!

Lin Chih-lin's portrayal of Xiao Qiao is indeed beautiful, but no matter how beautiful she is, she shouldn't have ruined Cao Cao's image like this!

It's like how Lei's version of 'Napoleon' sweeps across Europe, but in front of Josephine, he immediately turns into a mangy dog.

Cao Cao swept across the Central Plains, but in front of Lin Zhilin's version of 'Xiao Qiao', he immediately turned into a sycophant and even played the role of a stand-in cosplayer, highlighting the 'desire to be licked but not obtained' situation.

Cheng Sheng was speechless.

Wu Baige, a director who made her name making crime films, really couldn't handle a grand and epic subject like "Red Cliff".

Wu Baige's vision was pitifully narrow. In his view, the war between Cao Wei and Eastern Wu was similar to the conflict between Hung Hing and Tung Sing in the Young and Dangerous movies.

Dozens of people fight each other, and whoever is the bravest wins.

They had no idea how grand the scale of the war between the two countries was.

The movie ended, and the theater was silent. Clearly, no one knew how to evaluate the film, let alone whether to applaud.

"Six hundred million yuan investment and this is it? If 'Red Cliff' can beat 'Three Kingdoms', then there's something fishy going on."

Sitting next to Feng Dapao, Xiao Wang said coldly.

"I've never seen such a bad movie. 'Red Cliff' is not even comparable to Cheng Sheng's 'Three Kingdoms,' let alone Chen Kaige's 'The Promise,'" Feng Dapao said with a laugh.

After the release of "The Promise", it was heavily criticized by the audience. Most of the online comments complained about how bad the movie was, which led to Chen Kaige arguing with netizens online for a long time.

Chen Kaige became a laughing stock for everyone.

But now that "Red Cliff" has been released, people will probably forget about the worst movie, "The Promise".

Feng Xiaogang felt that Wu Baige was a really good person; she was helping to share some of the firepower for "The Promise"!

Chen Kaige should thank Wu Baige.

"It seems that even without Huayi's intervention, Wu Baige will be criticized to the point of questioning her existence," said CEO Wang with a smirk.

He had already hired a large number of online trolls, just waiting for "Red Cliff" to be released so he could find fault with it and then do his best to smear the movie.

But now it seems that he did nothing of value.

“I’ve always said that Hong Kong directors can’t make war films. The war films they make are just copies of gangster films. Wu Baige deserves to fail. He stole our schedule. Let’s see how he dies this time.”

"Feng Dapao said in a sinister tone."

The lights come on.

The sparse applause was also a sign of respect for Wu Baige.

Wu Baige herself led her crew onto the stage, looking proudly at the guests below. When her eyes swept over Cheng Sheng, she even revealed a provocative expression.

"Cheng Sheng, he seems quite smug about it?"

Da Tiantian, who was sitting next to Cheng Sheng, said in surprise.

"He's just overestimating himself," Cheng Sheng said dismissively.

Next, Wu Baige gave a media interview, looking forward to the bright future of "Red Cliff" and praising how good her film "Red Cliff" was.

The media, always eager to stir things up, had one entertainment reporter ask: "Director Wu, 'Three Kingdoms' has already grossed nearly 800 million at the box office, and breaking the 1 billion mark is practically a done deal. I wonder if your 'Red Cliff' can be compared to 'Three Kingdoms'?"

If it were someone else, they would definitely be humble upon hearing what the reporter said.

But who is Wu Baige?

Regardless of whether he can surpass the box office of "Three Kingdoms", he will suppress the film "Three Kingdoms".

Wu Baige confidently declared, "Can anyone compare to my 'Red Cliff'? So what if 'Three Kingdoms' has a high box office? Before the results are in, it's still uncertain who will win!"

Upon hearing this, the media and guests all looked at Cheng Sheng, who was sitting there silently, hoping that he would stand up and say something.

It would be best to bombard Wu Baige.

One minute.

Cheng Sheng surprisingly did not refute, as if he had acknowledged Wu Baige's words, which surprised everyone.

In the past, whenever Wu Baige offended Cheng Sheng, Cheng Sheng would always retaliate, and he would even set up schemes to make Wu Baige look extremely embarrassed.

Now he's not saying a word.

"What's going on? Isn't Cheng Sheng very arrogant? Why isn't he getting up to curse Wu Baige to death?" Feng Dapao asked in surprise.

Although he also looked down on Cheng Sheng, he despised Wu Baige even more.

If he were Cheng Sheng, he would definitely stand up and confront Wu Baige. (End of Chapter)
