Director Wu Ershan Expresses Gratitude Amid Controversy Over 'The Investiture of the Gods II'

The director's gesture comes as the film has faced controversy and criticism, despite its significant box office success. Netizens' reactions to Wu Ershan's post were polarized, with some expressing gratitude for his sincerity, while others voiced their dissatisfaction with the film. However, the comments section told a different story, descending into chaos, with one user pointing out that the director should thank the actor Yu Shi for bringing the character to life with his acting skills.

The user argued that most actors rely on their character's popularity, but Yu Shi was an exception, infusing his role with energy and soul. The user also criticized the plot, questioning its relevance to the original story and expressing frustration that the expected sequel might be replaced with an unrelated storyline. The backlash in the comments section reflected the deep disappointment and frustration of fans who were expecting a continuation of the original story, and not a deviation into an unrelated narrative.

Despite the controversies surrounding the second part, audiences have been discussing the story, characters, and visual effects, and many have been looking forward to the third installment. Director Wu Ershan expressed his gratitude to the audience for their feedback and mentioned that he and his team see it as an honor to bring this classic Chinese myth to the screen and create a bridge for communication among people through the movie. Fans remain hopeful for the next part, and the success of the series indicates a significant interest in Chinese mythology and the potential for the third part to satisfy both domestic and international audiences' expectations.

The film's team has addressed some of the controversies, such as the rumor about outsourcing visual effects for a low price, which was denied by the company responsible for the visual effects management. The company stated that the effect was created by Scanline VFX, a reputable company known for its work on several blockbuster films and series. The anticipation for "The Investiture of the Gods 3" remains high, with fans expressing their hopes for the director to understand their demands and create a better work.

Many fans have expressed their expectations for the third installment, with some indicating that they are looking forward to Yu Shi's performance in the next part. Others have stated that they hope Wu Ershan will understand the audience's demands and create a better work. Wu Ershan has expressed his appreciation to all the fans who have been following the "Legend of Gods" trilogy, saying that the movie's world is complete because of them. The director looks forward to reuniting with audiences in his future projects, and with the conclusion of "The Legend of Gods: Battle of West Qi", fans eagerly await the next chapter in the series.
