Is Chen Jianbin (plays Cao Cao in 2010 RotTK TV series) a very famous Chinese actor?

[Gregorovitch]

I see from Wikipedia he's won a lot of awards, and not just for his performance as Cao Cao, but it's hard to estimate what that amounts to comparatively. Personally I would guess he was very famous because I thought his Cao Cao performance was absolutely stunning. Not to mention those eyes.......

has nothing to do with this game.

Agreed, he played Cao Cao better than Cao Cao himself

[alicerinz]

Especially that damn laugh of his

I found that watching the series significantly enhanced my enjoyment of the game. I would advise anybody starting TW:3K to watch it. It's very good and very relevant.

Indeed. It can kill at 100 paces by itself, no sword required.

Yu Hewei's Cao Cao in Advisor's Alliance is also pretty popular, more method acting in there, more emotional struggles, less comical than Chen Jianbin's, the actor is less famous outside China, the other fun fact is he's played Lu Su, Liu Bei and Cao Cao in different series over the years.

Ah ah ah ah HO HO HO HO


Ps:Have not seen the series but i've seen the scene you are talking about that laugh has been burned into my head forever now this is why china will become the dominate empire through the power of laughs.

They need to do a Western movie about 3 Kingdoms.
Have Keanu Reaves play Liu Bei, Jacky Chan as Yuan Shu, Jet Li as Yuan Shao, Olivia Munn as Sun Ren, etc

HBO could do it Donnie yen could play as kong rong or even Cao cao plus him being a martial artist who does his own stunts is a bonus

Some ppl are gonna hate this but I wouldn't mind this even as an Asian. I wanna see 3k played without those Chinese antics which could make it feel very refreshing and different, for the variety's sake. (25 yrs ROTK fan here.)

That's the thing i enjoy about western action movies/comic book movies

The seriousness of them adds a whole new layer of comedy sometimes makes it feel surreal too like with apocalypse now or predator it's become a trope of it's own

i mean I actually enjoyed some of the bay transformers movies due to this aspect.

Plus all those hollywood actors are Chinese descent (Olivia Munn is Half Chinese as is Keanu Reeves).

i doubt HBO can afford him, and donnie had already play (the shortest) guanyu, i doubt kong rong has enough action for him to justify taking the role.

but i am guessing people are thinking "game of throne" type of deal. i just don't see a-list star doing 4 to 5 season show, it is a long time to commit and with their pay grade... i think the best u can get is someone like john cho.

keanu reeves may sign with marvel so he is booked. but reeves does do oddball low budget work if he like it. i glad he did cyberpunk but he is a rarity. :D

John Cho would bring a bit of Comedy to the role, as well as a bit of medicinal green plants :)
Harold & Kumar go to 3 Kingdoms !
