On the evening of September 16, 2014, the special film screening and the meeting of the main creators were held at the Beijing Normal University Activity Center. This event was an important part of the "Beijing University Student Film Festival Chinese New Film Screening Platform" and was organized by the Beijing University Student Film Festival Organizing Committee. The film director – Lu Yang, known as the "New Generation of Ghost Directors", screenwriter Chen Shu, and producer Wang Donghui attended the event and interacted with the audience after the screening.
The movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" is a romantic martial arts film directed by Lu Yang and starring Zhang Zhen, Liu Shishi, Wang Qianyuan, Li Dongxue, Nie Yuan, Jin Shijie, Ye Qing, Zhu Dan, Zhou Yiwei, etc. The inspiration for the play comes from the Japanese writer Sima Ryotaro’s "The Love of Director Okita", which Lu Yang was very emotional after watching. The original work is mainly based on the ordinary emotions of the marginal people. In Lu Yang’s pen, the core of the story becomes the resistance of the marginal warriors to manipulate their own destiny. Love is still important, but not the core.
The background of the movie is that after Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, the powerful eunuch Wei Zhongxian was impeached and resigned, and the emasculation was destroyed, and the Jinyi Wei was ordered to hunt down the emasculation. The Jinyi guards Lu Jianxing (Wang Qianyuan), Shen Lian (Zhang Zhen), and Jin Yichuan (Li Dongxue) are sworn brothers and have a very good relationship. The eldest brother Lu Jianxing very much hopes that he can be promoted to the position of Baihu, the second brother Shen Lian has a secret crush on Zhou Miaotong (Liu Shishi), the woman of the Jiaofang Department, and the third brother Jin Yichuan has an unspeakable past that has been saved in the hands of others.
One day, the inner palace eunuch Zhao Jingzhong (played by Nie Yuan) secretly found the three brothers and asked them to follow the emperor’s orders to hunt down the eunuch Wei Zhongxian (played by Jin Shijie) who was going to be exiled from Beijing. After a chase, the three brought back the body of the eunuch Wei Zhongxian. They thought that with this great achievement, all three of their long-cherished wishes could be realized. Unexpectedly, all this was just the beginning of a conspiracy, and the three were about to fall into a more dangerous situation.
