Kyoto International Cinema
Most premieres, big and small, are held here.
When Yi Yang and Wang Jun arrived, many people had already gone inside.
After walking the red carpet, the two entered the hall.
There were many people, who were divided into more than a dozen small groups chatting.
Yi Yang glanced around and saw many familiar celebrities.
They were all dressed very formally. Many female celebrities wore dresses underneath coats or vests.
As soon as Wang Jun came in, he was pulled away to chat.
This was Yi Yang's first time attending a premiere, and he certainly broadened his horizons.
Yi Yang
"Brother Hu Jun"
Yi Yang, who was standing in the corner, was still spotted by a few acquaintances.
They were all veteran actors, and Hu Jun even came over to say hello.
Hu Jun: Weren't you busy with post-production work in Shanghai? Why did you come over here too?
Yi Yang: "Um... I wrote this script."
Upon hearing Yi Yang's words, Hu Jun's expression froze slightly.
Just as we were about to continue our conversation, the waiter came over and guided us to our seats.
Because the audience will be entering soon.
Yi Yang searched several rows but couldn't find his name, so he had no choice but to ask the waiter.
"Hello, my name is Yi Yang. I don't think I see any seats with names on them."
"Wait a moment, let me take a look."
The young woman was holding a seating chart and checked it.
"Your name is Yi Yang, Yi as in easy, Yang as in poplar tree, right?"
"Yes."
"Your seat is in the first row, third from the left."
"Forehead......"
What's going on? I just came here for the fun of it, how did I end up in the front row?
Yi Yang looked in the direction the young lady was pointing and saw that several people were already sitting there, but there was still one empty seat.
If I'm not mistaken, this person has categorized themselves as part of the film crew.
Oh well, what's done is done.
Yi Yang also gritted his teeth and walked over through the passageway next to him.
Who is that?
"I don't know him!"
"This silly child, why did he run to the first row?"
“........”
Many of the celebrities they saw were curious about who they were, and they whispered among themselves.
The two veteran actors, who had just finished filming "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" and knew Yi Yang, were also a little worried.
When Yi Yang arrived at his seat, he did see his name, but he didn't recognize the two people sitting next to him.
Without thinking much about it, I sat down directly.
This left the others who were following Yi Yang a bit confused.
Five minutes later, film critics and audience members began to enter.
The seats gradually filled up, and after the back door closed, someone went up on stage to give a speech.
"Hello everyone, I am director Johnnie To."
A round of applause erupted, and Yi Yang clapped his hands as well.
"First of all, welcome everyone to the premiere despite your busy schedules. Also, I'd like to thank the Police Department, the Broadcasting and Television Bureau, and Tencent Entertainment for allowing me to direct this film..."
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Now, please enjoy the movie 'Drug War'..."
After another round of applause, the lights in the hall went out.
After the opening credits, the main footage began on the screen.
On the country road, thick, brownish smoke billowed from a factory behind, and a black sedan drove shakily.
The scene shifts, and Louis Koo is seen violently turning the steering wheel, foaming at the mouth...
Suddenly, the phone screen at my feet lit up; a call was coming in...
Just then, they came to a traffic light. Blackie accelerated and crashed into the restaurant next to them, causing chaos.
............
The theater was completely silent.
Johnnie To, a veteran director, piqued the audience's curiosity right from the start.
Ordinary viewers are only focused on the current plot and curious about what will happen next.
However, professional film critics are already focusing on the details.
[Fast-paced, typical of Du's style]
[The opening introduces the main storyline and highlights the theme.]
[Just crash into the car in front, then turn and crash into the restaurant; it seems a bit deliberate.]
【........】
Everyone will have a different opinion about a movie.
A good movie is one that most people like.
At that moment, the screen suddenly went black, and the words "Drug War" appeared.
Yi Yang was just wondering why the title of the film didn't provide any introduction before the scene started playing.
Now I understand, this is a cinematic interpretation technique.
.........
The scene then shifts to Sun Honglei, who is staring at the orange in someone's hand with his signature big, handsome smile.
Seeing this, the other person had no choice but to give him half.
"Mmm...sweet"
While eating, he gave someone a thumbs up.
As the vehicle slowly entered the tollbooth, tense background music began to play, and the man sensed that something was wrong, perfectly capturing the drug dealer's anxiety.
He immediately grabbed Sun Honglei and started running away.
The police officers waiting to make the arrests also sensed something was wrong and began their arrests ahead of schedule.
With a scissor kick, Sun Honglei took down the person who had initially pulled him away, thus revealing his undercover identity.
The camera then panned to the hospital, revealing that this was a case of internal drug trafficking.
