A WRITER’S ODYSSEY

In this dark fantasy based on a short story by Shuang Xuetao, novels can rewrite reality, and writers are in danger of being killed. In search of his abducted daughter, Guan Ning (Lei Jiayin, The Wandering Earth) accepts the mission to assassinate young writer Lu Kongwen (Dong Zijian, Mountains May Depart). However, Guan realizes that his fate is also tied to the writer’s story. A highlyanticipated follow-up to director Lu Yang’s previous wuxia action series Brotherhood of Blades, this big-budget spectacle uses special effects that took two years and a large team of technicians to complete.
