In the blink of an eye, a month has passed, and there are still two days left before "Infernal Affairs" and "Dark Forest" are offline.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye.
March 30th.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
"Infernal Affairs" and "Dark Forest" were announced to be offline at the same time.
The official Weibo accounts of Cuican Entertainment and Sun Daohao Company were updated almost at the same time, thanking fans for their support of the movie during this period.
For some netizens who pay attention to movies and box office, what they are most concerned about is the box office results of the two movies.
The two movies have been with everyone for two months. Although the high and low have been divided, the most important thing for the audience has not yet been seen.

...
...
Bright Entertainment Company.
The film department was buzzing.
"Nice! My idol! I knew that as long as it was Mr. Tan's movie, it would definitely win the box office championship."
"Mr. Tan should be close to winning the box office championship, right? How many places is this?"
"No matter where it is, the box office championship this time has the most gold content, and the opponent is director Son Do-ho."
"You're right. I remember Director Son Do-ho's strong position in the film industry before Mr. Tan started making movies. Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"Haha, the box office exceeded 6 billion again. See
This achievement makes people feel excited. "
"The most excited one right now should be the crew of "Infernal Affairs". Mr. Tan will definitely arrange a celebration banquet. I wonder where the celebration banquet will be arranged this time?"
"Every time this moment comes, I am the most envious. I hope Mr. Tan can join his crew next time he makes a movie."
President's office.
"Dong dong dong".
Chen Ye received a call from Tan Yue and came to the office: "Mr. Tan."
"Xiaoye, please sit down and wait for a few minutes while I read this document first."
"OK."
Tan Yue looked at the computer seriously. After hanging up the phone with Chen Ye, an urgent document from the branch suddenly popped up in his mailbox.
A few minutes later, Tan Yue finished processing the documents and said, "Xiao Ye, go and arrange the celebration banquet for "Infernal Affairs"."
Now that the box office of "Infernal Affairs" has settled, although the box office of 6.403 billion has not once again broken the highest box office record, Tan Yue is very satisfied.
He believes that "Infernal Affairs" will become a classic movie in the future that everyone can enjoy again and again, rather than a flash in the pan.
More importantly, "Infernal Affairs" has promoted the development of sketch police and gangster films and completed an important task.
Tan Yue looked at the completed reply email and continued: "The time will be at seven o'clock this Friday night at the Tianling Hotel."
Going to too many good places would make it boring, so Tan Yue decided to take turns visiting Tianling Hotel and Shunli Shanshui Villa.
"Okay, Mr. Tan." Chen Ye stood up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Tan Yue.
"Ask Zheng Tong to help you handle this matter."
The venue and time have been booked. As the director of the film department, Zheng Tong can more easily inform the staff of the "Infernal Affairs" crew.
Chen Ye agreed, then turned and left the office, heading to the film department.
Tan Yue picked up the empty cup, replaced the tea leaves, and made himself a cup of tea. Returning to the computer, he picked up the massage device and put it on his neck. He opened the documents that Chen Ye had sent earlier in the morning and began to review and approve them.
"Dong dong dong".
Not long after, the knock on the door rang again.
"Please come in."
This time it was Chen Ziyu who opened the door and walked in: "Ayue, what are you busy with?"
Tan Yue smiled and said, "I am processing some documents."
Chen Ziyu took out a bottle of newly bought tea from behind: "I just bought it for you."
"Good tea!" Tan Yue took the tea and looked at it carefully.
"Of course." Chen Ziyu asked, "Has the celebration banquet been arranged?"
Chen Ziyu is also very happy that "Infernal Affairs" can reap such box office results.
But she is even more happy that Tan Yue's influence in the entertainment industry will once again increase. Until now, there is no director in China who can compare with Tan Yue's achievements.
"I just arranged it. After the celebration party on Friday night, you can pick me up."
It is impossible not to drink wine at the celebration banquet. Chen Ziyu also understood it and nodded: "Drink less."
...
...
It is March and April, when the spring breeze blows and everything revives.
Thick clothes gradually fade away, and many people choose to go out for spring outings at this time.
Thursday.
The sun was shining brightly, dispelling the chill that had not completely dissipated.
Tan Yue drove out of his home. Chen Ziyu sat in the passenger seat and looked out the window.
"The trees on the roadside are starting to sprout buds, and the weather is getting warmer." Chen Ziyu stretched her waist, lying on the passenger seat, and said with emotion: "I really want to go out and take a look around and feel the breath of spring."
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Why don't we go now?"
Chen Ziyu was startled by Tan Yue's sudden words. Seeing Tan Yue's serious look: "Okay, we won't go to the company in the morning."
Sometimes a boring life requires a sudden impulse.
adjust.
Tan Yue drove off the road to the company and headed to the suburbs. The joy on his face could not be hidden either.
Chen Ziyu put down her phone: "I have already arranged everything. There is nothing particularly big. No one in the company will bother us."
As the vehicle left the city center and got closer to the suburbs, Tan Yue gradually reduced its speed.
Chen Ziyu put down the window and looked outside. The vegetation beside the road was dyed with layers of light green. She sighed: "It feels like I haven't been out to play in a long time."
Spending a Spring Festival always makes people feel that what happened last year is very far away.
There were very few people out to play on Thursday, so Tan Yue found a park and stopped.
Because it was a last-minute idea, the clothes and shoes worn by the two of them were not suitable for traveling in places with bad roads.
In order to avoid attracting other people's attention, Tan Yue got out of the car wearing a mask and a peaked cap.
Chen Ziyu took a deep breath of air: "Ah...it's still comfortable outside."
Chen Ziyu held Tan Yue's arm and walked slowly on the park road.
There were cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road. Tan Yue saw Chen Ziyu smelling the fragrance of the flowers and said with a smile: "The fragrance of cherry blossoms is relatively weak. You have to get close to smell it."
Although her face was doubtful, her body was still honest. Chen Ziyu approached the blooming cherry blossoms and said, "It's really true!"
Chen Ziyu took out her mobile phone, took pictures of the flowers, and then took Tan Yue to take pictures with her.
The two of them continued walking in the park, and occasionally met a few old men strolling around and playing chess.
"Look, the lotus flowers in front are also blooming." Chen Ziyu took out her mobile phone and continued to take pictures.
The small pond is covered with lotus leaves, and the lotus flowers look delicate against the backdrop.
"What a rare sight!" Tan Yue also took out his mobile phone and took two simple photos.
After living in the city for a long time, it is difficult to see the scenery in front of me.
"Take some photos for me." Chen Ziyu joked, "As a director, you should have no problem taking photos."
Tan Yue smiled and began to teach Chen Ziyu how to pose.
