About Tale of the Mural
Zhu Xiao Lian, the most famous painter in Jiangnan, entered the world of the painting wall where demon spirits exist through an ancient temple mural. There, he meets the first woman who makes him want to draw a portrait, Wei Sheng. Unexpectedly, he set off the trap that was laid down by the bird demon. Unexpectedly, this breaks the bird demon plot. He falls in love with Wei Sheng as they fight the bird demon hand in hand. It turns out that Wei Sheng's real identity is that of a Phoenix God, and the only way to defeat the bird demon is for him to die to help Wei Sheng gain nirvana.
Directed by Li Yuxi, Tale of the Mural leans on a strong ensemble — Han Dong, Liu Mengmeng, Daniella Wang — 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 fantasy titles of 2023.
