The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in The Golden Flower in the City. The story "Golden Flower in the City" is adapted from Cao Yu's drama "Thunderstorm", which is directed by Zhang Yimou and co-starred by Chow Yun Fat, Gong Li, Jay Chou and Liu Ye. The film tells the story of the King's triumphant return to Korea after the war, and secretly discovers that subtle changes have taken place in the palace. It turned out that the queen was having an affair with the eldest prince, and the love triangle between the little prince, the eldest prince and the maid-in-waiting was more complicated. All parties fought for power and profit, and finally contradictions broke out inevitably, and all the people who fought paid a painful price. The prosperous Tang Dynasty perished, and the heroes stood on their own feet. As the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, Wang () led the army to revolt and became king on his own. Consolidate power. He exiled his ex-wife and married Princess Liang (Gong Li), thus gaining the support of King Liang and stabilizing the regime.

The ex-wife leaves a son Yuan Xiang (Liu Ye). The Queen came and gave birth to two more sons, Yuan Jie (Jay Chou) and Michael. Dong Wang's expedition to the Western Warring States gradually expanded. Li Yuanxiang is a prince and Feng is a general. Wang was obsessed with his ex-wife and made a statue in the harem, falsely claiming that his ex-wife was dead. Mourn forever. The relationship between the king and queen is always bad, and the harem is lonely. One day, I will commit adultery and incest with the eldest prince Yuanxiang, and the relationship between the eldest prince and the maid-in-waiting will be more complicated. The story begins the day before the Double Ninth Festival, that is, 25 years after Wang ascended the throne. ...

In the resplendent court, the restless queen led the princes to wait for the king. Up and down the palace, because of this upcoming Double Ninth Festival, it is busy and orderly. A grand ceremony was ready, but Wang quietly returned to the palace. He seems to be deliberately snubbing those who have waited for a long time and not giving them a chance to observe and think a little calmly. When he is alone, he laughs heartily. There seems to be a lot of secrets in his smile.

In the movie, all parties are fighting for power and profit, and finally conflicts will inevitably break out. All the people who fought paid a heavy price. In the empty palace, only the lonely figure of the king is left, while outside the main hall, there are sad scenes of lightning, thunder and storms ... Personally, I think the movie "Golden Flower in the City" is very good-looking, and the cast is very strong, which is worth seeing.
