His casting was perfect. Really suited for the role and he acted well in it.

[@DailyGPT365]

Fully agree!!

[@Slla-th5vt]

Fei Xiang made the right decision taking this project. Having watched it, it is really worth it. It is an epic Chinese film. There shd be more attention on it.

[@eileenpeh7942]

So amazing! He was already a star during my parents' era. He still looks so good, is so well-spoken and so positive. Truly a legend! 🥰

[@butterscotch1554]

oh wow he genuinely has a lovely personality, what a lovely person - no wonder my mom was crazy all over him in her days :D Now this is what celebrities should be!!!

[@mbkbenz]

His eyes are stunning, he's so handsome, gorgeous and charming

His english is perfect.

[@kevintan3662]

he is 62..damn

[@hanzocloud]

It’s the hair

[@muse2182]

He should take off his shirt during the interview. what a let down

[@hc1326]

I just love Fei Xiang, even more now. In the 80s, I thought he was a pretty face with so-so singing & acting. But after watching 封神 Part 1 & his various interviews on this film, I am so impressed with him. He spoke with such depth & humility. He is so genuine & such a lovely person. So happy he came out of semi retirement to take on this role. I really really love the movie & the young actors training camp. The film was made by people with real passion on film-making. Well done! Kudos to Director Wuershan, the cast & the whole production team. Can’t wait for Parts 2 & 3!

[@jinmeow1685]

I watched Creation of the Gods part I yesterday at US. The film is so good definitely worth watching it…may be many times…..to enjoy the story, the characters, the music, and many other visually stunning moments. It’s world top quality film. It takes 10 years from starting script to become a final production. Thousands of people worked for this film, young characters took half year of boot camp like training, learned history and film classes. Particularly, the horses jumping over the fire is real, Zhifa jumping from a tall wall to the war horse is real, inside of palace everything is hand carved, planted real forest, and hired world top professionals. It also took years come up with a great script to best suit Chin dynasty（～1570) a famous original story book of The Creation of Gods (封神榜).

But it's all green screen right? N differs from e original text...

费翔选角太正确了，海外市场全英文推广！

[@chinchowpowpook]

The today’s young upcoming actors/actresses/singers should learn from him..don’t waste away life by conforming to others just be quick famous or rich..rich is not measure by assets or net worth. Rich is this, make to speak sincerely with real deal he done!

[@7890Tt]

The movie should be watched in an IMAX threatre to enjoy fully the artistic direction, visual effects and sound effects

[@wendyfong2675]

Hello darling, nice to see you. It's been a long time you're just handsome as you used to be. Kris Fei Xiang is familiar to us and we're looking forward to see him in part 2 & 3 of this movie Creation of Gods, love you

[@user-gnahpn3l3h]

I would say, Kris has aged gracefully. He is still charming in his own way. Especially in his speech, usually tactful & humble. Wish you happy always which i think you are, enjoying your partial retirement being meticulous in your script & role selection! A person that knows what he wanted & hold high expectations.

[@anitac9389]

What a humble, talented handsome gentleman. A star. ⭐

[@seankaiser11]

Watched the movie and I totally loved it! Can't wait for parts 2 and 3!

I am superise that fei Xiang acting in the movie. Even though he is a singer, his acting fit the film so much. Looking forward to the next to films🤩

[@chingpinglam7275]

半夜三點起來的嚴格刻苦運動絕對是值得的，看那威武雄壯的造型便可以肯定。

[@Bladesworn]

This film is so great. Even my kids who have very little influence with Chinese Mythologies felt it a very good movie. Probably THE best in this year. I was very surprised with how much they appreciated the movie. And I have been a fan to Fei Xiang for over 30 years.

[@paulli1535]

This movie is probably better made than most of the best Hollywood movies. No wonder there is saying in China: the time left for Hollywood in China is not very long.

[@recuerdos2457]

Reading too much propaganda 🤭

[@Diderot68]

Great to see you in good shape! Kids who grew up in Singapore in the seventies and eighties can still sing your 留恋， while my wife and the whole of her generation in China who watched your first appearance on mainland TV for Spring Festival show absolutely adores you till this day.

Wonder if Fei Xiang would ever be interested in trying to encourage the westerners to acquire his level of Mandarin competency

[@jonomichi2262]

Kris ages gracefully .. turning into more dad side？

[@fyyh8111]

I like that he was actually comparing himself to the Game of Thrones movie. How lovely is that?! A 62 year-old old man compared to those actors which is just barely in theirs 30s. Although he do not look like 62 more like 50.

[@pngjunhong2207]

Pls make wo long movie

[@bhchen3079]

It is based on the novel fengshen yanyi .. where the evil daji (Fox Spirit used her powers on the last king of Shang dynasty into corruption and evil deeds) where Jiang Ziya led deities to fight against the Shang dynasty and the forces of evil to help end the despotic Shang dynasty

[@recuerdos2457]

Is it banned in China? Anything about ending a regime seems a big taboo to the CCP

[@soha7271]

Wow you don’t look like 62

I am pretty sure my accountant has a body like him 😅

Your accountant has a lot of time to train then. Which is seldom so for accountants.

费翔! Casted for what looks like a great production. Wow! (as in 4:16 "Wow! I didn't expect that!") 🙂 He gave up stardom in east asia years ago to pursue a career in Broadway, and now poised to become a superstar in cinema. I'm so happy for him.

[@andychow5364]

whats wrong with accountant😂

Like Fei! Never knew him till one day in 1999 when I met his mom in London - his mom was a very good friend of my childhood piano teacher. Ha, also have the Standard connection !😊

amazing movie. pls show support in the cinema. on par to lord of the ring.

[@jiachi1112]

My dad said it's better than LOTR HAHA and that's why I watched it cause my dad was a hard-core LOTR fan. The movie turned out great and I can't wait for the sequels!

[@pila1280]

No. It is not better nor on par with LOTR. But close to the standard of LOTR and definitely worth watching

[@sohjiasheng7247]

A rather serious movie with a few very minor plot twist that were quite expected if you know the original story. I think the director trying to make it like the lord of the rings but lacking in terms of good bgm. Female lead as daji is a little lacking. Not foxy enough... thou very close to 'chinese' beauty, white skinny lady with decent eyes. CGI could do much better. Dragon like creature and nine tail fox in a very sorry state but 雷震子 was very nicely done. There seems to be very big contrast in CGI budget for different parts of the movie. Uncle Fei Xiang looks very majestic in the movie while the other younger male actors were all very well trained with six pack washing board abs, looks like they all were riding horses during some of the scenes. Sound effect for the opening (can feel the boom in a normal theather) was quite good but after that there was none throughout the show. If they were able to keep the special effects up to standard throughout the show effects wise it would have been at lotr level. Not very historical movie don't expect too much but 2.5hrs it's not bad didnt leave for toilet at all. 6/10. Could do much better with the plot. A little lacking in emotions but visuals not bad, a little exaggerated.

[@teresatsai8753]

I wished they did an English version. Easier to understood.

This has no way to compete with lord of the rings
