Chapter 794 Premiere(1/2)
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 lively. There are eleven movies. I wonder which one can become this year's box office champion?"
"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 in a blink of an eye, it's time to celebrate the New Year again."
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 and 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 three others were making dumplings in the living room.
The sun goes down and it gets dark.
"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 cheerful 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 in the past. I looked forward to the Chinese New Year just 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 that of meat." Tan Zhao
He and Tan Yue were drinking wine and thought of the old New Year celebrations in their hometown.
The family ate, chatted and spent the New Year's Eve dinner.
At around ten o'clock, An Nuan left with Tan Xin. Li Yulan sighed and said nothing.
Since Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu confirmed 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 police film, and its situation in the film market is worse than that of martial arts action films.
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 and gangster films.
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, 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 and chatted with Zhao Yan's parents.
After chatting for half an hour, Li Yuan really 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 about to set off." The speaker was Zhao Yan's sister Zhao Ruo.
Li Yuan originally planned to go to the movies with his girlfriend, but when his sister-in-law found out, she clamored to go out together, so she grabbed an extra movie ticket when it was on pre-sale.
"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 people 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 and gangster movies because the director of this movie is Tan Yue."
"Tch." Zhao Ruo looked disdainful and lay down in the back seat without talking. 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."
