The actors I know who have played Xiang Yu include Lu Liangwei, Tan Kai, Zheng Shaoqiu, Hu Jun, Ren Chengwei, Peter Ho, and Feng Shaofeng. In my heart, my favorite actor who plays Xiang Yu is Feng Shaofeng. In fact, part of the reason is because I like Zhao Liying, hahaha!

I feel that Feng Shaofeng's performance as Xiang Yu is simply "possessed by an overlord"! At that time, Feng Shaofeng performed well as a newcomer to the film industry. Many people were not optimistic about Feng Shaofeng's ability to take on the leading role on the big screen. It was a risky move for a popular TV actor, but Feng Shaofeng's performance exceeded everyone's expectations.

For his first appearance on the big screen, he encountered the role of "The Overlord of Western Chu". In Feng Shaofeng's opinion, "The Banquet at Hongmen" is definitely a huge challenge for him "from body to soul". For this reason, Feng Shaofeng joined the crew in advance to practice "martial arts", carefully pondered the script, and combined his own understanding to interpret a completely different Overlord of Western Chu.

At that time, the director told Feng Shaofeng, "If others say your performance as Xiang Yu is good, it is not considered a success. What I want is excellent!" Regarding Feng Shaofeng's unanimous recognition from the media after the film was released, the director admitted that "it was as expected". "First of all, Xiang Yu was born into a noble family, and then he became a powerful and powerful overlord in troubled times. Xiang Yu's domineering power can be Xiang Yu's aristocratic temperament and his heroic mind can't be played by everyone. From Shao Feng's eyes, I can see the calmness of the overlord of Western Chu, and his composure when he dominates. There is a bit of tragic feeling when he is defeated. Feng Shaofeng's performance is very layered, which is like "The Overlord Possessed". I believe he can bring every audience into the character's situation."

As Feng Shaofeng's screen debut, the performance of Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu in "The Banquet at Hongmen" also exceeded all media expectations. Some media even predicted that Feng Shaofeng would use this film to become the "face of the king" of the new generation on the screen.
