Introduction:
The movie opens with the battle of Changbanpo by Zhao Yun, after defeating Liu Bei, Cao Cao sets his sights on Dongwu. Although his strategist advised him repeatedly to rest and recuperate first, due to the refusal of Xiao Qiao from Dongwu who Cao Cao adores, he decided to attack Dongwu out of anger for beauty. At this time, Liu Biao passed away, and his young son led the Jingzhou navy to join Cao Cao, making Cao Cao more confident about marching southward to讨Wu. Sun Quan sent Lu Su to meet with Liu Bei under the pretext of paying respects to Liu Biao, discussing anti-Cao strategies together. Liu Bei then sent Zhuge Liang to Dongwu. Meanwhile, Sun Quan's sister Sun Shangxiang and Lu Su decided to use reverse psychology to force the indecisive Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao, and recalled Zhou Yu to take charge of the overall situation. The two armies eventually met at Chibi, where Cao Cao suffered a crushing defeat.
The script of "Chibi" has been written by many famous screenwriters, and is now in its ninth draft by Lu Wei, basically finalized. John Woo said he hopes that the final story can be "suitable for both East and West", "to excite Chinese people who know this history, and interest foreigners who don't know this history, making it a truly international 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'." John Woo also emphasized that the reason for so many script revisions is because of the complexity of the story and character relationships, "In the early stage, we were burdened by history, limited by some historical facts, but later finally broke free, and gradually liberated our thoughts. In comparison, 'Records of the Three Kingdoms' contributed more to the script than 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'."
