The Spring Festival is approaching, and major entertainment companies have released trailers one after another in order to gain popularity for their movies. The Internet is flooded with movie promotions, arousing heated discussions among netizens.
"The Spring Festival is so exciting. There are eleven movies. I wonder which one will be the box office champion this year?"
"If there is no dark horse, the two movies "Infernal Affairs" and "In the Dark" are most likely to become the box office champion. As for which one it is, it's hard to say now. The popularity is about the same."
"I support "The Dark Forest". I have seen the final trailer and it is really well shot. Director Son Do-ho is still the top director in the country."
"That must be "Infernal Affairs". I believe Mr. Tan Yue, this movie will not be bad."
"I hope "Happiness" can become a dark horse, come on!"
“There are so many movies coming out and I can’t wait to see them.”
...
...
New Year's Eve.
Jishui City.
Tanjia suburban nursing home.
Li Yulan cleaned up, shook her head, and said: "Every year passes so fast, and it's the New Year again in a blink of an eye."
Tan Zhaohe whispered from the side: "You heard your mother was emotional again."
Tan Yue, who was helping to put up Spring Festival couplets next to him, smiled, but he had the same idea as his mother.
"Okay." Tan Zhaohe took a step back to confirm that the Spring Festival couplets were not posted crookedly.
"Old man, you go to the kitchen to wash the vegetables, and I will cook for the party." Li Yulan arranged: "Xiao Yue, you go and clean up the garbage."
The father and son nodded, and the family began to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner under Li Yulan's command.
An Nuan packed up her things at home and brought Tan Xin over to help.
After Tan Xin arrived, Tan Yue also took on the task of looking after the children, and the two started playing games.
Li Yulan and the three of them were making dumplings in the living room.
The sun sets and it gets late.
"Xiaoyue, Xinxin, come over for dinner." Li Yulan came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish.
"It smells so good!" Tan Xin's voice came out first before she came out of the room.
Li Yulan smiled happily and said, "Eat more if it smells good."
The living room is filled with a happy atmosphere, and the Spring Festival Gala is playing on the TV.
"Now the Chinese New Year is just a New Year's Eve dinner as a family. It's not as satisfying as the Chinese New Year before." Li Yulan gave Tan Xin a piece of meat.
"My family was very poor before. Looking forward to the Chinese New Year was to wear new clothes and eat meat. Now I can buy whatever I want and eat whatever I want. The price of vegetables is almost the same as meat." Tan Zhao He and Tan Yue were drinking wine and thought of the previous New Year celebrations in their hometown.
The family spent the New Year's Eve dinner eating and chatting.
At around ten o'clock, An Nuan left with Tan Xin. Li Yulan sighed and said nothing.
Since Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu established their relationship, An Nuan has not spent New Year's Eve at Laoyuaner in the past two years.
Tan Yue returned to the room and lay on the bed. The father and son had a few drinks and felt a little tipsy. Looking at the time on the phone, they felt a little nervous.
In a few hours, "Infernal Affairs" will be released.
In any case, "Infernal Affairs" is a gangster movie that is worse in the movie market than a martial arts action movie.
It has almost completely disappeared from the big screen in recent years.
Whether "Infernal Affairs" can be accepted by the audience is still unknown.
There are worries, but at the same time there are also some expectations.
On earth, "Infernal Affairs" has revitalized Hong Kong films, and Tan Yue also hopes that through this film, the audience will once again accept police movies.
Under the influence of alcohol, Tan Yue felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he fell asleep soon.
...
...
The first day of the new year.
Nine o'clock.
Hangzhou.
Li Yuan, who was still sleeping soundly, was woken up by a knock on the door.
"Xiao Yuan, get up quickly."
Li Yuan, who stayed up late playing games yesterday, yawned and replied, "I'll get up soon."
I squinted in bed for another half an hour and finally got up from the bed.
Mother Li urged: "Look at what time it is and move quickly."
At the party, Li Yuan is going to his girlfriend's house to pay New Year greetings to his elders. These etiquettes are indispensable.
After washing up, Li Yuan finally woke up, ate something casually, and drove to his girlfriend's house with the gift.
"Why are there so many cars?" Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a little impatient while walking and stopping along the way.
On the first day of the New Year, some people want to lie down and rest at home, but most people still like to go out and hang out.
After Li Yuan arrived at his girlfriend's community, he called his girlfriend on the phone: "Yanyan, I'm downstairs at your house."
"Okay, I'll be down right away."
Not long after, Zhao Yan came downstairs: "Let's go up."
Li Yuan took a deep breath: "I've already been here once, why am I still a little nervous?"
Zhao Yan laughed, took Li Yuan's hand, took the elevator, and arrived at the door of her home.
While Zhao Yan opened the door, Li Yuan arranged his clothes.
"Xiao Yuan is here."
Zhao Yan’s parents came out to greet her.
"Happy New Year, uncle and auntie!" Li Yuan greeted quickly as he entered the door.
"Sit down quickly, Xiao Yuan!"
"Here are fruits and melon seeds. You can eat whatever you want. Don't be restrained."
"Thank you, auntie!" Li Yuan sat cautiously, chatting with Zhao Yan's parents.
After chatting for half an hour, Li Yuan couldn't find the topic and gave Zhao Yan a look.
Zhao Yan came to the rescue and said, "Mom, we are going out to watch a movie. If we don't go, we will be late."
"Yes, yes, we are leaving." The person who spoke was Zhao Ruo, Zhao Yan's sister.
Li Yuan originally planned to go to the movies with his girlfriend, but after his sister-in-law found out, she clamored to go out together, so she grabbed an extra movie ticket during the pre-sale period.
"Be careful on the road." Mother Zhao warned.
"I know!" Zhao Ruo took Zhao Yan's arm and stood up from the sofa.
"Uncle, aunt, let's go out first." Li Yuan stood up and said goodbye.
"Let's go, let's go." Zhao Ruo on the side kept urging.
The three of them got on the elevator, Li Yuan took a deep breath, and his nervousness finally eased.
Zhao Ruo held Zhao Yan's arm, looked at Li Yuan and said with a bad smile: "I saved your life. You will treat me to a big dinner at noon."
"No problem." Li Yuan thought for a while and suddenly realized that coming from his future father-in-law's family had nothing to do with his sister-in-law.
"You just know how to eat." Zhao Yan said angrily.
The three of them went straight to the cinema.
Zhao Ruo asked: "What movie tickets did you buy?"
""Infernal Affairs"."
"Ah?" Zhao Ruo looked depressed. She wanted to watch "Dark Forest", but she didn't have much interest in police movies.
"No, my sister doesn't like watching police movies either..."
Zhao Yan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, slowly turned her head and said slowly: "I asked him to buy it."
"Are you sure you like watching police movies?" Zhao Ruo still didn't believe it.
"I can't say that I like police movies because the director of this movie is Tan Yue."
"Tch." Zhao Ruo looked disdainful and lay down in the back seat without speaking. He kept mumbling in his mind: Police and gangster movies are not as good as science fiction movies. A group of people are fighting around with guns, which is not good at all.
Li Yuan, who was driving, shook his head, laughed, and said, "Tan Yue's movie will definitely not disappoint you."
Zhao Yan joked: "If you don't like watching it, why don't I send it home first."
"No." Zhao Ruodu said. Although he didn't like police movies, he didn't like to go home and lie down.
As we got closer and closer to the cinema, the traffic volume gradually increased. When we arrived at the mall, there was already a long queue at the entrance of the underground parking lot.
There's no point in being anxious right now, all I can do is follow the vehicle and move a little bit.
Finally entering the parking lot, in order to find a parking space, I walked around the parking lot several times and finally found a spot in a corner.
Li Yuan sighed: "It's too difficult."
"We have a holiday during the Chinese New Year, so we all come out to have fun."
Li Yuan looked at the time. Fortunately, he came out earlier, otherwise it would have been a late show.
The three people took the elevator to the cinema on the top floor of the mall.
"There are too many people." Zhao Ruo looked at the crowded crowd in the cinema and his head felt a little big.
There were mostly young couples in the cinema, and many families came out to watch movies together.
"Let's go."
There were long queues at the front desk of the cinema and at the ticket pick-up area.
Li Yuandao: "I'll go get the movie tickets. You go buy popcorn."
Zhao Yan nodded and pulled Zhao Ruo to queue up to buy popcorn.
There were four ticket machines in the cinema, and Li Yuan chose a relatively small queue. During the break to collect tickets, he heard people around him discussing the movie.
"It's not easy to get movie tickets today. No matter which movie it is, it's almost full. The movie tickets were sold out as soon as they started."
"No, in order to buy movie tickets for "The Dark Forest", I have been paying attention to the ticket purchasing software for fear of missing out."
Li Yuanshen felt the same, picked up the movie tickets, and waited for a while. Zhao Yan and the two came back with two buckets of popcorn.
Seeing that "Infernal Affairs" was about to start, three people lined up to enter the theater.
Li Yuan was lucky enough to get the best viewing position.
Audiences continued to pour in at the entrance, and everyone looked excited, discussing Tan Yue's new movie.
"It's finally about to begin. I've been paying attention to the news since Teacher Tan Yue announced "Infernal Affairs". It's been half a year, and I saw it today."
"Teacher Tan Yue's business hours are almost full this year, ensuring both quality and quantity."
"I think the scariest thing is the movie box office. Each movie can reach 5 to 6 billion in box office. I wonder if the quality of "Infernal Affairs" is still satisfactory?"
"Teacher Tan Yue has never let me down. I am very much looking forward to this "Infernal Affairs", and the cast is also very strong."
"It starts soon!"
Zhao Yan sat in the middle, and Li Yuan sat on her left. When it came to Tan Yue's movie, both of them were quite excited.
Li Yuan completely became a fan of Tan Yue because of the movie "Kung Fu", and Zhao Yan became interested in Tan Yue from "The King of Comedy". It was "Kung Fu" that really made her feel that Tan Yue was very capable.
Therefore, the two are also looking forward to this movie.
Although "Infernal Affairs" is a police film, with Tan Yue in it, it was not a bad film.
The success of "Kung Fu" is a good example, which made martial arts fans go crazy for a while.
Li Yuan ate popcorn, leaned into Zhao Yan's ear and said, "Others have the same opinion as us, they are all looking forward to Tan Yue's "Infernal Affairs"!"
Zhao Yan nodded slightly and said: "Teacher Tan Yue's influence is too great now. Everyone comes here for his name."
Li Yuan picked up popcorn and fed it to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Ruo put down his phone and wanted to talk, but when he raised his head and saw this scene, he immediately felt regretful.
I regret going out to watch a movie together.
Grabbing the popcorn and stuffing it into your mouth.
The two sisters grew up together. The elder sister is about to get engaged and married, but he is still a single nobleman, and his emotional life is not at the same level at all.
Zhao Ruo followed Zhao Yan out today because it was too boring to stay at home alone and wanted to find someone to spend the first day of the new year with.
When he arrived, he realized that he had been reduced to a light bulb. Zhao Ruo suddenly felt that it was pretty good to be alone at home, without having to eat dog food.
Watching police movies already made her depressed, and now she became even more depressed.
Zhao Ruo took out her phone again, opened the movie purchase app, and checked the movie tickets for "Dark Forest". She had been looking forward to this movie for a long time.
Movie tickets have already been sold out, and even tickets for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow have been taken away.
Zhao Ruo sighed, turned off his phone, closed his eyes slightly, and waited for the movie to start.
Regardless of whether you are interested in police movies or not, you can only watch it now.
She has naturally heard of Tan Yue's name.
But it wasn't publicity and fame that attracted her. She always only watched science fiction movies that interested her.
As the lights slowly went out, the entire theater gradually became quiet.
"It's begun."
"It begins!"
Someone in the audience whispered.
After two advertisements were played on the huge screen, the logo of Bright Entertainment Company appeared, and the theater became completely silent.
As tense music plays, subtitles begin to play.
The names of several main actors in the play appeared on the big screen, and the last one that appeared was the name of director Tan Yue.
The big screen suddenly went dark, and a line of words flashed across the screen.
"Volume 19 of the Nirvana Sutra."
"The highest of the eight hells is called the endless hell, which means suffering great suffering without interruption, hence the name."
This passage can be regarded as an introduction to the origin of the name of this film.
Many viewers did not understand what this passage meant and decided to go back and look it up after watching the movie.
Zhao Ruo paused while eating the popcorn. He thought this beginning was a bit too strong?
A bell rang, a Buddha statue appeared on the screen, and the movie officially started.
As the bell kept ringing, Han Chen turned his head after worshiping the Buddha statue in the camera, lecturing his younger brother to go undercover at the police station.
The scene keeps changing, and we come to the plot where Huang Zhicheng and the principal of the police academy ask Chen Yongren, the boy numbered 27149.
Huang Zhicheng's bet failed.
The principal of the police academy said: "I said, he is the most suitable to be an undercover agent."
Huang Zhicheng and the principal of the police academy are also performing a secret mission to select suitable people to go undercover on the gang side.
"When you enter the police academy, you must abide by the rules of the police academy. Those who do not follow the rules will be expelled just like him."
Chen Yongren was driven out carrying his bag to perform a secret mission.
"Does anyone want to trade with him?"
Young Liu Jianming said silently in his heart: "I want to trade with him."
At this time, the voice of the principal of the police academy appeared: "27149, this is a long-term undercover plan. Your record in the police academy will be deleted. Only I and Inspector Huang of the heavy duty team know your identity. What you have accepted is a very This is a dangerous mission, are you aware of it?"
"Yes, clearly."
The two undercover agents started a different life.
