Introduction:
The movie opens with the battle of Changbanpo by Zhao Yun. Cao Cao targeted Dongwu after defeating Liu Bei despite his strategist's repeated advice to rest and recuperate first. However, due to the defiance of Xiao Qiao from Dongwu whom Cao Cao adored, Cao decided to attack Dongwu out of anger for beauty. At this time, Liu Biao passed away and his youngest son led the Jingzhou navy to join Cao Cao, giving him more confidence in marching southward to fight Dongwu. Sun Quan sent Lu Su to meet Liu Bei under the name of condoling Liu Biao to discuss anti-Cao strategies together. Liu Bei then sent Zhuge Liang to Dongwu. Meanwhile, Sun Shangxiang, Sun Quan's sister and Lu Su decided to use the method of provocation to force the hesitant Sun Quan to fight against Cao Cao. They also recalled Zhou Yu to take charge of the overall situation. The two armies finally met at Chibi and Cao Cao returned defeated.
The script of "Chibi" has been written by many famous screenwriters and is currently on its ninth draft by Lu Wei, basically finalized. John Woo said he hoped that the final story could be "suitable for both East and West", "excite Chinese people who understand this history and interest foreigners who do not understand this history, making it a truly international 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'." John Woo also particularly emphasized that the reason for so many revisions was due to the complexity of the story and character relationships, "being restricted by history in the early stage, limited by some historical facts, we finally jumped out and slowly liberated our thoughts. In comparison, 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' contributed more to the script than 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."
