THR: The invitation to betrayal at Xiang Yu’s banquet is similar to the story of Jesus learning of Judas’ betrayal at the Last Supper in the Bible. Do you expect this story will appeal to Western audiences?
LC: 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. The story starts in the morning, when an aged Liu Bang is recalling his life. He’s trying to separate his friends from his enemies because he wants to celebrate his victory with a huge feast for those who helped him survive the wars. The most famous guest is Han Xin, who helped him succeed in all the wars. But others tell Liu Bang that Han Xin is a traitor.
