I was scrolling through Weibo last night, halfway through a bag of stale airport peanuts (don’t ask), when the trailer for Assassin in Red 2 autoplayed. My Wi-Fi here in Toronto is usually decent, but of course, the video buffered right as the dragon swooped across the screen—just another reminder that being an overseas Chinese cinephile sometimes feels like watching the world through a keyhole.
But then I clicked on the director’s featurette, the one tagged #桃影news, and something clicked for me too. There was Lu Yang, the director, with hair that’s noticeably whiter than in the first movie’s behind-the-scenes clips. Deng Chao asked him, “Aren’t you tired?” and Lu just shrugged: “I only worry about not having enough time.” It hit me—this man is fighting against limits, just like we are, halfway across the world, hitting “refresh” over and over.
I remember watching the first Assassin in Red three years ago on a sketchy streaming site with Mandarin subtitles burned in—the buffering circles haunts my dreams. But Lu Yang’s team added nearly 1,000 new VFX shots for this sequel? Built Cloud City through 50 iterations? That’s the kind of stubborn energy I wish I could channel every time my screen freezes during a climactic fight scene.
Lei Jiayin called the director “passionately nerdy”; Dong Zijian noticed his fading hairline; even young actor Wang Shengdi said he’s “full of spirit.” It’s that mix of madness and meticulousness—Lu testing every stunt himself to ensure safety—that makes you root for him. And here I am, rooting for a buffer-free experience, relating a little too hard to that “only worry about not having enough time” line.
The movie drops globally on October 1st, but “global” doesn’t always mean “accessible.” If you’re like me—trying to watch Chinese cinema from abroad, tired of the “this content is not available in your region” pop-ups—you know the struggle is real. But what if I told you there’s a way to tap into that same stubborn energy Lu Yang has? To stop buffering and start watching?
I’ve been there: missing out on discussions because my stream lagged, or giving up and reading plot summaries instead. But after seeing how much heart goes into films like this—the details, the stunts, the hair-turn-white dedication—I decided enough was enough. No more settling for pixelated dragons or missed moments.
