White Vengeance (2011) - full transcript

White Vengeance tells the story of two brothers contending for supremacy during the fall of the Qin Dynasty, which ruled Imperial China from 221 to 206 BC. As rebels rose, the nation fell into chaos. Liu Bang (Leon Lai) and Xiang Yu (Feng Shaofeng), became leaders of the rebellious army, and also became sworn brothers in battle. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang are close friends who both serve King Huai of Chu. King Huai uses a plot, saying that whoever can subvert the Qin kingdom in Guanzhong would be the Lord Qin, in order to benefit from the competition between Xiang Yu and Liu Bang. Xiang Yu is over-confident. He fights against the main force of Qin army, and entrusts Liu Bang with Yu Ji (Liu Yifei), the woman he loves. Liu Bang expresses his love to Yu Ji and takes the chance to invade Guanzhong first when most of Qin army is outside fighting against Xiang Yu's army. Xiang Yu is furious & betrayed when he found it. Xiang planned to kill Liu at a banquet held in Hong Men, during which Zhang Liang (Zhang Hanyu), the mastermind of Liu Bang, and Fan Zeng (Anthony Wong), the mastermind of Xiang Yu, have a direct confrontation. But who will emerge as the winner from this epic battle and survive to claim their path to the crown?

If Zhang Liang loses one round

I will execute a punishment

Now the world is in great chaos

And people's lives are miserable

As you have said

We should observe
and implement the will of God

For the first round,
I will go four into four

Making it a dangerous situation

I will then go flat tour four
in the second round

Forthe third round,
I will go three five for the third

And up six five forthe fourth round



This is karma

Hope peace will come to the world

I'll go up eight four forthe fifth round

Wars and killing are inevitable

And acceptable in the world of chaos

I'll go up four three for the first round

If we love the people, we should attack

Then four four forthe second round

Wars are applicable to end wars

Up four three for the third round and

Flat four four for the fourth round

No one likes wars

We use war to win obedience

I will keep beating you up
until you are convinced



The fifth round as same
as the fourth flat four four

Fan Zeng's skill is profound

Zhang Liang's game is
full of killing motive

| used different ways of playing the game
in the first four rounds

He noticed them all at once

I'm still thinking
how he will play the fifth round

Hopefully, Han Xin will arrive soon

I could beat him once I know his plan

This round I will go up five six

Two into two

Flat eight three

Zhang Liang is buying time

Flat eight six

Go up four three

lnto eight four

Go up seven two

Flat six three

lnto five eight

Flat two two for the second round

Troops are valued for their qualities

Not for how long they can last

I'll use flat eight six to
win your first round

Commanding of troops should be fast
as wind, strong as fire

I'll go down eight ten to
win the second round

lnto eight eight

Xiang Zhuang

Let me perform a sword dance
to spice up the Hongmen Banquet

It's not interesting enough
to perform alone

Let me perform with you

Go up three four

Xiang Zhuang,
your sword skills have improved

Get away

Zhang Liang, l have beaten you
in the third round by up nine four

You've also been cornered
in the fourth round

Let's fight!

My Lord!

Yu, kill Liu Bang now!

Watch out, Lord!

I have said that earlier

There is only one winner on battlefield

Today god has put us together

Which means there is only one of us
can survive

Don't blame me, Liu bang

My Lord

Stop!

King Huai of Chu's decree!

His majesty spares Liu Bang's life

Liu Bang should leave Xianyang immediately
and go back to Hanzhong

King Huai of Chu has invited eight vassals
to Xianyang

To celebrate Lord Xiang
becoming owner of Xianyang

Yafu!

Zhang Liang has sent people
to kill my counselor

You have to kill him

So we could call it even,
then I'll let you go

I can't do that

Today, I win. You lose

Xiang Zhuang

Yes

My Lord! Please, don't!

Action

My lord

You are making the biggest mistake

Liu Bang you do know how to survive!

We have lost our counselor.
What should we do?

Counselor said that
we have to tempt Xiang Yu

To a big mistake in order to win

I thought we've already lost to Xiang Yu

The game is not over yet

The real Hongmen Banquet
has finally begin

Do you know

The reason why Liu Bang
by keep you beside him?

He is using you as a bargaining chip

| always choose to believe in others

Just like you said you liked me

when we first met

Even though Liu Bang overstepped
his authority

He brought me my lute back

l was thinking

I could sing Chu songs to you again

If you still have trust me

Sir

Yu, Mr. Zhang's wound hasjust recovered

Do you think it's appropriate for him
to attend our meeting?

I could leave if it's inconvenient

Wait!

Mr. Zhang has chosen
the right Lord to serve

I sincerely appreciate your help

Now the war is over and your highness

Becomes the owner of Qin Palace

It is only you to blame
if this opportunity is missed

You should take the supremacy now

What are you waiting for?

The world hasjust settled down

And we don't yet have a good reason
to claim the throne yet

Besides, the eight vassals
would refuse to obey

We still need to wait for right timing

If the vassals disobey

Why can't I send troops
to fight against them?

Liu Bang hasjust
became the lord of Hanzhong

It is uncertain what his moves are

If he strikes us by surprise
while our army is away

We can't fight both ends,

and we'll lose

Based on lord Xiang's military force

We can totally divide the troops

Since Mr. Zhang is so knowledgeable

How could one conquer the world
on his own?

Why do you give us
such an incomplete plan?

I do have a plan

Since Liu Bang has conceded
his allegiance to you

You could order him to invade the vassals

Then you could use the vassal's help
to kill Liu Bang

And be the Emperor

Do you still think
this is an incomplete plan?

Please welcome the messenger from Chu

Since Lord Xiang asks us to send the army

How can we disobey him?

Xiao He,
it's a not easy for me to be here

Please stay at Hanzhong days.

We'll be a good host

Bring up the best feast

Yes

He is the messenger sent by Lord Xiang

Treat him nicely

Yes! General

Serve the dishes now

Fan Kuai!
Why are you serving the best feast?

He's the envoy sent by Lord Xiang

Of course we should serve the best

If he is sent by counselor Fan Zeng

Of course it's alright

He has saved my lord
in numerous situations

My lord owes him
a great debt of gratitude

However the envoy visiting now
is just sent by Lord Xiang

There's no need to waste our best feast.
Put them away

We couldn't fully trust the envoy

What does Mr. Zhang think?

We should test Fan Zeng again

So as not to blame the wrong guy

Counselor! Our scout said

Liu Bang is sorting out his army

I think we should
take a preemptive attack

To spare future troubles

After all, Liu Bang has special amnesty
from King Huai of Chu

We need to find an excuse to
kill Liu Bang

King Huai of Chu is always a trouble

Why don't we kill him first?

You mean killing King Huai of Chu?

Didn't you ask me to kill King Huai of Chu
during Hongmen Banquet?

Yu, times has changed

Counselor!

Does it apply to your loyalty
to our Xiang family too?

You are making the biggest mistake!

Lord Xiang wants to see you

My lord

You and your family

Have always treated me with respect

And listened to my opinions

That's all our counselors' want!

The fact that you want to see me today

Means that you still cherish our relation

That's enough for me!

All good things must come to an end

I want to give you a bag of tips
before I go

If you experience danger

Orthink of me in the future

You could open it and have a look!

Yafu!

Sir

Zhang Liang, you are here

I know you'll come

I can't wait too long

My apology!

l have pushed the limit too farthis time!

Zhang Liang

You have made a brilliant move this time

I knew you were special

during the Hongmen Banguet

I can tell you now

You arejust like the me when l was young!

Don't feel bad for me

I've been waiting for an opponent

like you my whole life

Enemies are like
the two sides of a mirror

Just like Xiang Yu and Liu Bang,
or you and me

Don't waste any more time

Let's finish the fifth game

Sir, sir

Sir

Zhang Liang.
There is a kind of chess game...

May | Zhang Liang, a survivor of Han

Present to my Lord that the general

Should be able to distinguish people's
qualities before he learns the art of war

Counselor Fan Zeng has served
three generations of Xiang family

But he was discarded like a homeless dog

We all feel bitterly
disappointed for this

Good birds choose the best trees to rest

I will go back to Liu Bang's camp

Hope Lord Xiang
will make careful decisions

So as not to die alone

Get the army and horses ready!
Let's act now!

Yes, my Lord!

My lord!

Liu Bang is at Hanzhong

Based on his army force,
even if he has Zhang Liang to assist him

He won't be a threat to us

as long as we don't act rashly

Xiang Bo

I know you are kind

Even if I don't eliminate Liu today

He will eventually eliminate me one day?

I said it was all meant to be
at the Hongmen Banquet

There is only one could survive
between Liu Bang and l

What if King Huai of Chu stops us again?

General Han

My Lord

Xiang Yu has killed King Huai of Chu

People all hate him

The eight vassals would like to help me
to suppress him.

General Han...

How many soldiers can my Lord
lead at most?

Less than 100,000

Then how can you control
the eight vassals?

How about you?

For me, the more the merrier

Having completed the mission

I need to get what I should deserve

It seems like
I have underestimated Liu Bang

I know I can't stop you from fighting

But I'll go through the war with you

Stop chasing!

8 vassals have all arrived

It'll be too late if you don't leave now!

How dare you all try and stop me

Please don't go My Lord

What's that place in the front of us?

It is Wu River. Here's Wu city

My Lord!

Your ladyship!

This is Liu Bang's secret order

He has ordered the allies
to attack tomorrow

He persuades me not to make
this unnecessary sacrifice

You've surrendered to Liu Bang?

| just want peace in the world

And good relations between the Xiang Yu
and Liu Bang

There's nothing I can do now

lt's meaningless to stay in this war

Success or failure is all depending
on an attitude

There's only you ,Yu Ji who can persuade
Xiangyu to leave

I really regret that

I haven't held your hand
like this more often

We could start again

Yu Ji

We have come to the end

Look at this land

It will be full of Liu Bang's army
very soon

l have asked Xiang Bo to take you
to a safe place

Where no one can find you, including me

But you have promised
that I could stay with you

I think...

You should have a second

Chance to choose

They are here.

Prepare to fight

This song could beat the morale
of Xiang Yu's army

Hopefully we could win the battle

without killing more lives

What are you doing?

I want to go home

Do you think what you have done
will fail Lord Xiang

Don't Leave

This is the moment when Lord Xiang
need us most we can't Leave!

I want to go home

Go home, go home, go home

Anyone who escapes now will be executed!

Stop!

You've all followed me for many years

Even though I'm your lord

You are all like brothers to me

Today, we are surrounding by enemies

All of you don't owe me

But I do

Please remember

All of you will always be my brother

Take care and

Goodbye!

Yafu. You have been with me
once I was young and

You have always helped me

To solving any difficulties
and make decisions no matter what

Xiang Yu, does it mean. I have to retire

So that you could really grow up

No one can come in!

I had a dream on the way

I dreamt of a white haired couple
sitting close to each other

l envied them and so I walked closer
to find out who they are

Then I realized I knew them

lt's you and me

I want you to spend
the rest of your life with me

I don't want to drag you into this...

Just like when we first met

I don't want you to get involved

Liu Bang must send his envoy
to persuade us to surrender

Wait until they are eased out

We shall start fighting

Liu Bang!

Xiang Yu, I've been waiting
to tell you myself that

Only one of us can survive between us

You are right.

But I'll survive

Not you!

Both the world and people will be mine!

Xiang Yu! We used to be sworn brothers

So long as you admit your defeat today

I shall let you go back to Jiangdong!

Kill

Xiang Zhuang

Xiang Zhuang

My Lord

Please lend me your sword

I am the only one who can kill him
and let him rest in peace

I lied to him

Yu Ji

We'll never be separated again

Do you want to be with me?

ldo

My lord! We found this bag of tips
in the camp

l've persuaded Han Xin to surrender

It is hoped that my Lord could last
for a while

Wait until for the reinforcement
of Han Xin to arrive

And save us

After winning the battle

l have promised to shared Han Xin,
Zhang Liang and others

Share the world and wealth

I shall wait for your order and hope that
you will take my advice

I could only play the game this way

Congratulations to Lord Qi
on taking the seal!

Xiao He...

Xiao He...

There's a game called
where both sides suffer losses

Get away! General Fan cannot proceed

How dare you trying to stop me?

Where were you all when I fought
with your Majesty?

Stop!

My lord! l...

I know what you want to ask

They plan to kill me!

If I don't kill them

They'll kill me!

l have to do this

l... I still want to say it

I haven't met you for a long time

I know something is wrong
and I'm worried about you

Therefore I am here to see you

When I left home with you
and fight the war

I said that

I will believe in whatever you said

But... I'm not well-educated

What you've said and done today

l have really confused me!

I am the emperor now

I can give you whatever you want

You are Emperor?
Could you take off you imperial robe?

Can you do this for me? Stop

We have promised to help you
in completing this achievement

Now... Now I'm not useful to you anymore?

Now I'm not useful to you anymore?

You have promised us that
we could have drinks at home after the war

Do you still remember?

My Lord, Fan Kuai has to...

Fan Kuai has to leave

Sir, could you tell us who
exactly are you?

I'm just a person who likes playing Weiqi

Once I had a close friend

He hired me to play
with another Weiqi master

Then, I realised

my real opponent is my close friend

I won't see the doctor again

I thought you were dead!

I'm alive because I need to see you

I want to ask you

Is that the result you are expecting?

All these years

I'm scared each and every day

| feel everything they said

is a plot

All the food they gave me

is poisoned

Your Majesty! After your death

Which one of prince would succeed
your position?

I remember Yu Ji has asked me
a question once

Do you know the cost of going
to the banquet?

I know going to the Hongmen Banquet

Means I need to try my best to guess
and trick the other side

Who violate the order will be executed

The cost is that you'll lose the capacity

to trust anyone

ln Hongmen Palace

l have already built monuments
without characters to memorize

Those who die because of me

Zhang Liang

l have no one to trust now

Zhang Liang

Could you do me one last favor?

Now that everything is predestined

lt's unnecessary to be stubborn
and persistent!

Things are hard to predict

But you can't mix up right or wrong

Today | persist to do one
last thing for Yu Ji

Yu Ji My Lord

Thank you for listening

The Hongmen Banquet is finally over

I should leave now

Sir, where are you going?

I'll need to find another master
to play Weiqi with

And see if a win-win situation
is possible

Zhang Liang

I need to ask you again

Do we seriously have to play
against each other?
