These entertainment journalists were also randomly interviewing the audience and asking which movie they came for.
The ones that received the most responses were "Dark Forest" and "Infernal Affairs".
"Dark Forest" has not yet started broadcasting. Just some trailers have been called the light of domestic science fiction movies by netizens. Audiences who have always wanted the rise of domestic movies will naturally not miss this opportunity.
What's more, it is a new film directed by Son Do-ho. He has been working hard to support the development of domestic films, and the audience must also support it.
Tan Yue is already a top figure in the entertainment industry, and his fifth movie has a lot of support from fans. They all want to see if his new movie is as high quality as his previous one? Will there be any new surprises?

The Spring Festival is a feast for those who like movies, and only during this time is the time when the largest number of movies are released with the highest quality.
All major sections are discussing the latest movies released and sharing their feelings after watching them.
"Depending on the situation, there will be no dark horses in this year's Spring Festival. The most popular ones are still "The Dark Forest" and "Infernal Affairs."
"Don't worry, it's just the beginning. You still have to have dreams, just in case they come true."
"Brother upstairs, I'm afraid your dream is going to be shattered. You can check out the comments on the science fiction movie module and the police movie module. They are almost unanimously positive, and you can't find a single negative comment."
"You don't even have to go to those two forums. Aren't these two movies discussed everywhere?!"
The movie has just been released not long ago, everything has just begun, and the popularity of the two movies is equally high.
"I went to see "Into the Dark" this morning. The special effects were amazing. It is truly the highlight of domestic science fiction movies. It's so good!"
"For "Infernal Affairs" to be able to be filmed like this as a police film, I have to say that Mr. Tan Yue is very impressed and supports "Infernal Affairs"!"
"It has to be a veteran director. Director Son Do-ho used "Dark Forest" to once again teach the new generation of directors a lesson, proving that he is still the top director in the country."
"I didn't expect that Teacher Tan Yue would have such a big imagination. The plot of "Infernal Affairs" is very compact. I will unconsciously become nervous as I watch the plot. I haven't had such a feeling while watching a movie for a long time. It's wonderful!"

Jishui City.
I was lying at home playing with Xu Xu on my mobile phone, and suddenly I felt an ominous premonition in my heart.
Sure enough, not long after, Xu's mother came to the room: "I have a poker friend. Her daughter is back today for the Chinese New Year. The party happens to be at her house to play cards. You can come with me."
Xu Nuo begged, "Can we talk in a few days? Besides, today is the first day of the New Year. I don't think anyone else would want to go on a blind date."
Xu's mother thought that it did make sense, so she could only say helplessly: "Then come with me in two days."
"Okay, okay." Xu Nuo said perfunctorily.
Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief as he watched his mother leave. Then he played with his phone and scrolled through Weibo in boredom, and saw the discussion about "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet.
"Let's go to the movies." Xu Nuo contacted a friend, got a movie ticket for "Infernal Affairs", and drove to the cinema.
More than two hours later, Xu Nuo called Tan Yue as he came out of the cinema.
Tan Yue joked: "Fat man, what's wrong? Are you going on a blind date again?"
Xu Nuo held her forehead and said helplessly: "I'm going to tell you something serious."
"whats the matter?"
"I just watched "Infernal Affairs" and it was so good." Xu Nuo couldn't help but praise it.
Promising to tell Tan Yue about the reactions of the audience in the theater made him feel more confident.
...
Weibo platform.
A very famous film critic shared a review of "Infernal Affairs".
The film critic is named Wang Letian. Over the past ten years, he has relied on his unique vision to analyze movies, attracting more than 10 million fans, comparable to A-list celebrities. He is one of the film critics with the most fans and the most influence on Chinese online platforms.
Once the film review was released, it quickly attracted many netizens and fans to watch.
["I went to the cinema as soon as "Infernal Affairs" was released, and I felt a lot after watching it. I used to regard writing film reviews as my job, but today I just want to simply talk about my views."
"This movie made me look at police movies again. It deeply questions human nature from a philosophical perspective, allowing me to feel the suffocation caused by involuntary actions, greed and selfishness, and the painful entanglement of good and evil."
"The script is quite excellent. Chen Yongren is a direct deification. All the characters are remarkable. The plot, rhythm, performance, and even the soundtrack are all amazing. There is nothing superfluous."
"The common themes of marginalized people in police and gangster films have been shot to a new level. The complicated relationships between the characters, the entangled and misplaced fates, the tense and silent psychological confrontation, and several rival scenes are still endlessly memorable when I think about it."
"The film is extremely cold and restrained, weakening the violence between conflicts, but the shock is aroused from the bottom of the heart. It is completely the turmoil under the calm appearance of the characters. Putting aside the simple "soldiers and bandits", no matter which character's perspective you are in, It is a very "anxious" state, where the identity is not recognized and cannot be fully integrated into the group."
"Sure enough, art is a kind of aftertaste after calming down. "Infernal Affairs" is a movie worth always recalling."
"I believe many of the plots will become famous scenes. They are quite warm and tragic. Everyone seems to be kidnapped, one after another. Mission: Impossible falls into the trap, the undercover acts as an undercover, the mole catches the mole, you sing Now that I'm on stage, it's going to be a great show."
"I hereby boldly predict that no matter what the final result of "Infernal Affairs" is, it will become a classic."]
Riding on the popularity of Wang Letian himself and the Spring Festival movie, the comments in the message area have exceeded 100,000.
"Brother Lotte's analysis is very comprehensive. This is exactly how I felt after watching this movie. It is very surprising that such a police movie can be produced!"
"The scene that impressed me the most was when Huang Zhicheng was thrown from the rooftop. Coupled with the BGM and Chen Yongren's expression at the time, it was simply amazing."
"My favorite part is the final showdown between the two protagonists on the rooftop. I'm so sure that part will be a famous scene!"
"Ma Guoliang's acting skills in this movie are simply amazing, and of course Zhang Wenhua is also good. I look forward to their future development."
“‘Infernal Affairs’ is the most exciting cop movie I’ve ever seen!”
"Seeing your comments makes me want to go see this movie even more, but I haven't bought a ticket yet."

Night, Magic City.
Jiang Bei walked out of the cinema with an excited look on his face. He had just finished watching "Infernal Affairs" and was impressed by its brilliance.
He has also watched "Dark Forest", and the biggest feeling it brought was shock.
The special effects of "Dark Forest" are not inferior to those of foreign blockbusters, and it is worthy of the title of the light of domestic science fiction movies.
Jiang Bei was sitting in the car, analyzing the strengths of the two movies.
"Dark Forest" is superior in terms of production scale and connotation, and in terms of the excitement of the plot, "Infernal Affairs" is superior. The two movies can be said to have their own merits.
But for Jiangbei, he still likes "Infernal Affairs" more.
He feels that this movie is easier for the audience to immerse themselves in. Even if he has been a director for more than ten years, his mood will fluctuate with the plot.
When Jiang Bei drove home, his wife had already cooked and was waiting.
"How did you feel about the two movies you watched today?" my wife asked.
"I have to say that they are all good movies. Being able to make such movies now will be of great benefit to the development of domestic movies in the future."
The wife looked surprised: "The reviews are so high? Are the two new movies very good?"
Jiang Bei smiled and ate the food.
"Today I saw a lot of people discussing "The Dark Forest" and "Infernal Affairs" on the Internet," said my wife.
Jiangbei explained: "This can be regarded as the first head-to-head confrontation between two leading figures of the older generation and the new generation of directors. In addition, the quality of the movies is extremely high. It would be strange if there was no discussion online."
"Okay, from your point of view as a director, which of these two movies do you think will do better at the box office?" The online voices for the two movies were similar, and Mrs. Jiang couldn't guess at the moment.
Jiang Bei shook his head: "I don't know either."
"Into the Woods" and "Infernal Affairs" are two top-notch movies.
As for who will win the box office championship? Who can have the last laugh? Who could have predicted it?
The only thing he can be sure of now is that the final box office champion must be one of them.
Jiang Bei is also very much looking forward to the next confrontation between the two movies. He said thoughtfully: "We will see the box office on the opening day tomorrow. I don't know who will win the box office championship on the first day."
Based on the popularity of the two films before their release and the audience's feedback after their release, he guessed there wouldn't be much difference.
The wife did not continue to ask about the movie, but talked about the fun that happened at the neighbor's house today.

late at night.
The Internet did not stop being noisy as night came, and the discussion on "Dark Forest" and "Infernal Affairs" continued.
"I finally saw the domestic science fiction movie "The Dark Forest" that I have been looking forward to for so long. I am not disappointed. I will watch it again when I get tickets in a few days."
""Infernal Affairs" is so good. Now I am lying in bed, and the plot of the movie is in my mind, and I can't get rid of it for a long time."
"The box office data for the Spring Festival premiere day will be released at ten o'clock tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it!"
"Not much to say, the box office champion on the opening day must be "The Dark Forest". I don't believe "The Departed" can compare to "The Dark Forest"!"
"I think "Infernal Affairs" has a greater chance of winning. Tan Yue has been active in the film industry, and "Kung Fu" once again broke the box office record, so the attention should be relatively higher."
"I like to watch both movies. No matter who wins the box office, it won't have much impact on an audience like me. I pay more attention to the movie itself."
Both movies have voices of support, and both hope that the movie they support will win the box office championship and the first-day box office championship tomorrow.

morning.
Beijing, Siheyuan.
Sun Daohao was wearing a white training suit and doing health exercises in the yard.
I later learned this set of health exercises from a master. The first thing he did when he got up every morning was to do them from beginning to end. In addition to strengthening the body, it can also nourish the mind.
Sun Daohao waved his arms in one move and coordinated with his leg movements. From a distance, he did not look like an elderly man.
Half an hour later, there were beads of sweat on Sun Daohao's forehead after the momentum ended.
Although it is winter, this set of health exercises consumes a lot of calories.
During the Chinese New Year, Sun Daohao moved to a courtyard house where he could usually get together with friends.
After returning to the room to tidy up briefly, Sun Daohao put on the loose clothes he usually wears and sat in the living room making tea, feeling a little nervous.
At present, the reviews of "Dark Forest" on the Internet are very good. The reputation that everyone usually talks about has been established, which will be very beneficial to the subsequent box office.
But the same situation exists for his biggest competitor "Infernal Affairs", which makes him a little worried about the box office championship.
After sitting on the top spot in the domestic championship for more than ten years, he is somewhat arrogant in his heart. It doesn't matter that he has never faced off against Tan Yue. Now that they are facing each other head-on, Sun Daohao certainly does not think he will lose, although he is very optimistic about the young man. juniors.
Looking at the time, it's still two hours until ten o'clock.
Sun Daohao took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and rested his mind, speculating on the first day's box office champion. Other movies were not of concern, only "Infernal Affairs" made him a little worried.
While waiting slowly, the time came to ten o'clock.
Sun Daohao took a deep breath, put down the cup in his hand and walked to the study. Sitting in front of the computer, he couldn't help but feel more nervous. He opened the official website of the General Administration of Culture and entered the movie page. The computer screen froze slightly.
The next moment, the data of the movie released yesterday appeared on the computer screen——
First place: "Dark Forest". Box office: 593 million.
Second place: "Infernal Affairs". Box office: 575 million.
Third place: "The Storm Rises Again". Box office: 232 million.
Fourth place: "Happiness". Box office: 156 million.
the fifth place:......
