To put it this way, our hero could only get such a huge investment and be favored by film producers all over the world, fighting for the first look, mainly due to two factors: First, the participation of top stars like Jet Li, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Ka-fai, Zhang Ziyi, and Donnie Yen; Second, because there's a great script. Based on these two major factors, coupled with my trust, came the movie we have today. The birth of Hero thanks to many people, Li Feng (author of this book) is a” one, Qin Palace, black. Opening. The late Warring States period, the six countries were warring, and Qin was the strongest. The King of Qin, Ying Zheng (played by Tony Leung Ka-fai), harbored the ambition to unify the world but became the target of numerous assassins. This day, Ying Zheng was going to summon a minor official named Wu Ming (played by Jet Li). Wu Ming in black, dignified, walked into the dark black hall. This might be the most empty imperial palace in Chinese history. No palace maids or guards, no decorations, only a stern atmosphere. Ying Zheng sat alone on the throne, facing Wu Ming across the room. Since three years ago, on a certain day, two assassins broke through the barrier of three thousand guards and killed into the hall, Ying Zheng has been in deep fear. To prevent the assassins from finding shelter, this hall became the most empty imperial palace in the world. Even the guards could only wait outside the gate. Unless, someone could kill Ying Zheng's trusted enemy like Wu Ming. [Wu Ming, facing Ying Zheng across the room, began to tell how he killed Ying Zheng's first trusted enemy, the assassin Chang Kong (played by Donnie Yen).] Two, Chess Pavilion, black. Wu Ming's narration. On a rainy day, in the chess pavilion, under the gentle music of an elderly blind man's zither, Chang Kong defeated the seven masters of Qin. Just as he was about to leave the chess pavilion, Wu Ming shouted and stopped him. "Wait!" The sound of the guzheng filled the air, and rainwater trickled down the dark black eaves of the pavilion. Two black-clad figures danced up and down. Like a dance, but it was a life-and-death struggle. Wu Ming drew his sword. Compared to the speed of the sword, the falling raindrops seemed to slide slowly. Chang Kong fell to the ground. [The one who kills the assassin Chang Kong can come within a hundred steps of the King of Qin. In addition to the reward, Wu Ming is allowed to be a hundred steps away from Ying Zheng. He begins to tell how he killed the other two trusted enemies of Ying Zheng who have kept him awake for three years, the assassin Can Jian (played by Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Fei Xue (played by Maggie Cheung).] Three, Zhao State, red. Wu Ming's narration. Wu Ming in red, came to the secluded residence of Can Jian and Fei Xue in Zhao State, the Zhao State Library, under the pretense of asking for a calligraphy piece from Can Jian. Can Jian was practicing calligraphy in the sand. Despite wearing red, he couldn't hide his loneliness. Ru Yue was also in red, serving beside him. At that moment, the Qin army advanced, arrows flying like swarms. Everyone in the library was shot, but those who weren't still insisted on practicing calligraphy. Zhao State calligraphy is known for its fierceness. With an arrow, Can Jian wrote with great determination. Fei Xue and Wu Ming bravely blocked the arrows. The arrow barrage stopped. Can Jian finished his calligraphy, writing a blood-red "Jian" (sword) character. To deal with the two masters, Wu Ming decided to use a divide-and-rule tactic. He said to them that Chang Kong, before being killed by him, had entrusted him to deliver something to Fei Xue. At the same time he handed over that thing to Fei Xue, he planted jealousy in Can Jian's heart. That night, Can Jian tore open Ru Yue's clothes. Ru Yue laughed wildly, as if laughing for Fei Xue. Jealousy is a potent poison mixed with honey. There is no antidote for this poison. When Wu Ming's carefully prepared poison finally took effect, Fei Xue's sword pierced through the wooden door, and Can Jian collapsed. In the tragic yellow leaf forest, Ru Yue took revenge on Fei Xue. They seemed to tiptoe on the blade of a knife, dancing an desperate dance. The yellow leaves spun, hitting them, as if that suffocating love. Only when they flew to the top of the yellow leaf forest did the blue sky appear, only to be quickly replaced by them or discarded. Ru Yue launched attack after attack in despair. Her tragic youth, once illuminated by a man, was now only ignited by hatred and then burned to ashes. She was just a maid, she could only possess the martial arts skills and all the sorrows of a maid. She was finished. Everything turned red, the former yellow leaves, the former blue sky, all immersed in a sea of blood. Fei Xue was also thrown into chaos and killed by Wu Ming with a single sword. [After Wu Ming finished his story, he presented the huge "Jian" character to the King of Qin. Ying Zheng announced a richer reward. At the same time, Wu Ming was allowed to be ten steps away from Ying Zheng. Between them, the candlelight burned towards Ying Zheng, blowing fiercely. Ying Zheng suddenly said, "Wu Ming, you are lying."] Four, blue. Ying Zheng's speculation. Three years ago, Ying Zheng had an unforgettable duel with Can Jian and Fei Xue. In Ying Zheng's impression, Can Jian and Fei Xue had the demeanor of knights, how could they be as narrow-minded and trapped by desire as Wu Ming described? The most likely possibility was: Wu Ming was also an assassin! Wu Ming practiced a unique martial art called "Kill in Ten Steps," which could kill someone within ten steps. But the Qin Palace was heavily guarded, and only by killing the famous assassins Chang Kong, Can Jian, and Fei Xue could one get close to Ying Zheng by ten steps. Chang Kong was actually a friend of Wu Ming, willing to commit suicide. The scene in the chess pavilion was actually a well-rehearsed play staged in front of the Qin guards. Can Jian and Fei Xue, to save each other, rushed to their deaths, and finally Fei Xue succeeded in ambushing Can Jian, who died alone. Ying Zheng also guessed that Can Jian and Wu Ming had a real, gentlemanly duel by the lake in Jiuzhaigou. The lake was floating with small pavilions, and Fei Xue's body lay there. The two men flew gently over the lake, like startled swans. They seemed to be dancing a sorrowful dance on the water. For the inevitable mission, love and tenderness had to drift. [Below the huge "Jian" character, Ying Zheng spoke of his speculation and his ambition to unify the world. "That will be a vast territory." Between him and Wu Ming, the candlelight blew fiercely. Ying Zheng continued, "Do you know how I figured it out? I felt killing intent in the candlelight. But," he asked suspiciously, "why, is it swaying again?"] Five, green, white. Wu Ming tells the true story. Three years ago, Can Jian and Fei Xue joined forces to assassinate the Qin. At that time, the Qin Palace still had a huge green curtain. However, when they broke into this green-curtained Qin Palace and saw Ying Zheng, Can Jian gave up. Through years of practicing calligraphy and martial arts, Can Jian had realized something. Fei Xue had not spoken a word to Can Jian for three years, unwilling to forgive his failure to finish the mission. Now, Wu Ming brought up the word "assassinate Qin" again in front of them. In the library, Wu Ming demonstrated his precise swordsmanship. His sword cleanly sliced through a thin brush, piercing the tip. His sword could accurately pierce two acupoints in the human body, ensuring that the person felled by the strike was only temporarily dead. In fact, Chang Kong was not dead. Neither was Can Jian and Fei Xue. However, it was still risky. The next day, Can Jian and Fei Xue came to the appointment. On the way, both were ready to act, but Fei Xue took the lead. Can Jian watched helplessly as Fei Xue died. When Wu Ming set off on his mission to assassinate Qin, Can Jian stopped him and wrote two large characters on the ground. Six, Qin Palace, black. What were those two characters? "All under heaven." Before these two characters, personal hatred seemed insignificant. This was also the reason why the candlelight between Wu Ming and Ying Zheng swayed. Ying Zheng threw the sword in front of Wu Ming, saying, "Choose." And when he turned his back, facing the huge "Jian" character written by Can Jian, Ying Zheng suddenly understood what Can Jian had realized three years ago: "First level of cultivation, the sword in hand, the sword in the heart; Second level of cultivation, no sword in hand, the sword in the heart; Third level of cultivation, no sword in hand, no sword in the heart." Wu Ming lowered his hands. He turned around. He walked out of the hall. He came to the black palace gate. And all three thousand black-clad guards had rushed over. In the surging black, their red caps stood out like stars. "Kill or not, please decide, Your Majesty." Ying Zheng murmured. "If not, it would violate the laws of the Great Qin and hinder the unification of the empire." The tide surged. Ying Zheng waved his hand down. Arrows flew in unison. Seven, Yadan landform, white. Ending. The news finally came. Fei Xue angrily fought with Can Jian. Finally, Fei Xue struck a sword, but Can Jian did not avoid it, bearing it with courage. No blood flowed out, because everything was so white. Fei Xue committed suicide. "Can Jian and Fei Xue, people are not separated from people, swords are not separated from swords." There, the emperor practiced the ideal of "all under heaven." Wu Ming was buried with great honor; here, they practiced the promise of unwavering loyalty. The wind stirred their white robes.
