Character posters for the upcoming film White Vengeance, starring Leon Lai, Zhang Hanyun and Liu Yifei.

“I want to show why a freedom fighter would turn to out to be another dictator,” said Lu Chuan of his new film The Last Supper. “I chose the title, Wang De Sheng Yan, in Chinese, because I want to say something about betrayal. It’s not only betrayal of one friend. It’s also one man’s betrayal of his own original dream for his desires.

Both the Last Supper and White Vengeance will be focused on the intriguing tale of the Feast at Hong Gate, a term that now signifies betrayal and treachery hidden in festivity. The tale details the falling out of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu, two rebels who united to defeat the Qin Emperor, and the two’s struggle to become the next emperor. This is interluded with two of the most famous woman in Chinese history, the brilliantly cold Lv Empress and the tragically loyal beauty Yu Ji.

The Last Supper will star Liu Ye, Daniel Wu, Chang Chen, Qin Lan and Yang Mi while  White Vengeance goes for a mature cast, with Zhang Hanyun, Huang Qiusheng, Leon Lai and Liu Yifei.

“I want to show something to the audience that they can believe. … We spent a lot of money to show the real picture, that everything was so rough. People were chasing their dreams in green fields and forests and running for the goals in their heart. It was an age of life and energy and an age of freedom, actually,” Lu Chuan said in his usual eloquence to Hollywood Reporter.

Casting trailer for White Vengeance below (in English, too!).  Which film do you think will be better? Although I really like Liu Yifei and dislike Lu Chuan, my bet is on Lu Chuan, who, despite the lack of moralities, is an amazing story teller.
