What happens

White Vengeance (鸿门宴) is a 2011 historical drama film written and directed by Daniel Lee, starring Leon Lai, Feng Shaofeng, Liu Yifei, Zhang Hanyu, Jordan Chan, Andy On, and Anthony Wong. A Chinese—Hong Kong co-production, the film is loosely based on the events of the Chu–Han Contention, an interregnum between the fall of the Qin dynasty and the founding of the Han dynasty in Chinese history. The film's Chinese title is a reference to the Feast at Hong Gate, a significant event of that era. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
