"Zhao Zilong", a piece considered relatively niche in its previous life, originates from the film "Dragon Unmasked" starring Liu Dehua.
As the saying goes, "a masterpiece can come from a bad film," and this phrase perfectly fits the piece "Zhao Zilong," as rarely does a Chinese film soundtrack leave such a deep impression on the audience.
In this movie, you will see:
Shu soldiers wearing World War II-era German helmets.
Zhuge Liang sabotaging his own troops.
The strange spectacle of a Northern Expedition from Chengdu reaching Changban Slope.
And Ji Han generals shouting "Long live the Great Shu," bringing Liu Bei back to life with anger.
.....
However, if you completely leave history aside and view it as an alternate reality film,
this movie still has its merits.
Especially the scenes of Liu Dehua, playing Zhao Yun, charging at Changban Slope, considered the most handsome portrayal of Zhao Yun in a domestic film.
All this is credited to the film's epic supporting score.
