About The Legend of Herring
Liu Qian Zhi, a disciple of the Buyu Sect who subdues demons and slays demons, accidentally met Xiao Qing, a fish demon who wanted to cultivate into a dragon. Xiao Qing lied that she was also a demon exorcist in order to prevent others from discovering her identity as a fish demon. After that, the two set on a journey together and experienced various difficulties and obstacles.
Directed by Xu Jiahui, Xu Congli, The Legend of Herring leans on a strong ensemble — Sabrina Qiu, Zhang Yaqi, Canti Lau Sek-Ming — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about action titles of 2022.
