The Great Emperor (2016)
Plot:
Northern China, about 4,800 years ago. In a contest of warriors of the Youxiong tribe in crossing the churning Ji river, only Ji Di (Yu Bo) succeeds. He travels for 20 days and reaches the prosperous and peaceful Shennong tribe, a more highly developed society, to exchange his belongings for salt, grain and linen. In an attack by the fierce Youli tribe, led by the giant Chi You (Sudeng Zhamusu), Ji Di helps a group of Shennong refugees, including the tribe’s old chief Jiang Yan (Wang Deshun). But Chi You and his woman summon up wild animals to attack the group.
Ji Di manages to escape and is rescued by Lei (Zhou Weitong), of the Xiling Luming tribe, who is looking after some deer. The two become lovers and he takes her back with him to where the Youxiong tribe lives, near Juci mountain. In the meantime, the survivors of the Shennong refugee group have also arrived there and been granted some land to cultivate. When Ji Di arrives with Lei, a young Youxiong woman, Mo (Ban Jiajia), who’s always liked him, throws a tantrum until Ji Di finally agrees to her also becoming his woman.
After discovering how to harden clay walls by baking them, Ji Di builds a defensive wall round the Youxiong community. But while he and the young men are out hunting, the Youli, led by Chi You, manage to take over the place. Mo gives birth to a child but Lei, also pregnant, is kidnapped; she is freed, however, by Chi You who wants Ji Di and his warriors to surrender. A battle between the two sides takes place but Chi You proves indestructible.
