New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Hook fact is interesting, and cited to a mostly reliable source that should be fine in this context (compare RfC). Article is essentially policy compliant, but perhaps a little bare bones (a one sentence lead is too short, and the "Plot" section basically gives us only the setting, not the plot: only two of the cast members are even mentioned in the Plot section). It could be nice to tell us that 超越 is also the given name of the main character (your source for the naming business does). It's sad we don't know anything about the director, but neither does the Chinese Wikipedia, unfortunately. The "Reception" section is so short that you could consider merging it with the box office details above, contrasting the commercial success to the critical reception of this one critic. @Mx. Granger: Could you work at least on expanding the lead and plot sections a little bit? —Kusma (talk) 22:30, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Kusma: Thanks for the review. I've expanded the lead and plot sections somewhat and have addressed the other points you mentioned. I searched a bit for information about Han Bowen, but didn't find much. What do you think? —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 18:10, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mx. Granger: I think it's good enough now. I've added the role of Zhang Rongrong and a cite to the Cast section so it isn't cite-less (full citations and a short description of each role would be better, but I won't insist on that). If you want to write more, you could write your own description of the plot (using the film as source is allowed, and doesn't need to be cited): there are more stories here. (I can't find anything about the director either, but searching for his name, I came across the whole film on YT). Anyway, it's good enough for DYK already.

(I agree with your interpretation of the Chinese sources, so you get the green tick, not just the grey). —Kusma (talk) 21:08, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
