Beijing, Century Square.

Completed in 1999, Century Plaza, together with the Century Tower to the southeast of the square, is located in the most prosperous commercial center of the city and is also regarded as the crossroads of this megacity.

How many people have been here, wandering here, looking up at the forest-like high-rise buildings around them.

It's already 11:56 p.m., and although the weather is sunny, it's cold in the capital on winter nights, and there won't be many tourists in the square under normal circumstances.

But tonight was different, on the last night of 2016, tens of thousands of Beijing citizens and tourists gathered in the square to welcome the arrival of the new year.

The 128-storey Century Tower is brightly lit, and countless LEDs on the west-facing wall form a huge electronic screen, which is playing to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

Since 1999, the New Year's countdown event at Century Plaza has been held for 16 consecutive years, and this year's edition has set a new record for attendance.

Countless people are waiting for the countdown to the New Year to begin.

Luo Kai, Mo Lan and Niu Niu were also in the crowd, waiting for the arrival of the New Year like everyone else.

In order to avoid crowding, the three of them deliberately stood in a relatively remote place, but there were still many people around, and there were many couples in pairs, and families with children were also indispensable.

Everyone held up their mobile phones to shoot videos, and the laughter was endless.

Luo Kai asked Niuniu to sit on her shoulder so that she could have the best view and not be blocked by the people around her.

He and Mo Lan are side by side, like a happy and beautiful family.

Niu Niu hugged her father's neck tightly, her eyes staring straight at the Century Building in the distance.

Suddenly, there was a commotion all around, and in an instant the sound became louder and louder, as if it were a storm.

I don't know who is shouting, "It's time to start!"

The countdown to the New Year has begun!

On the walls of the Century Tower, there are huge numbers: 10, 9, 8...

“7，6，5…”

The people in the square shouted in unison, so that the atmosphere of the scene gradually climbed to the top of the boiling.

“3，2，1！”

Niu Niu followed the count, although quietly, just as excited.

"Happy New Year!"

When the four big characters were displayed on the Century Building, the atmosphere of the audience instantly reached its climax, and the tsunami-like shouts could not hide the sudden crackling sound.

Bang!

Countless fireworks flew out from the sides and top of the building, drawing a brilliant trajectory in the night sky, and then exploded at the same time, brilliant to the extreme!

"Wow!"

Niu Niu couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

At this moment, Luo Kai couldn't help but turn his head to look at his girlfriend beside him.

Under the reflection of the fireworks, Mo Lan's pretty face was glowing with beautiful light, she and Luo Kai looked at each other, although there were no words, but each other's hearts were already connected.

The two hands quietly clasped together.

……

January 1 New Year's Day, a statutory holiday.

According to national regulations, there are a total of three days of holiday on New Year's Day, and different weekends are superimposed, so for the domestic film market, the three-day holiday on New Year's Day is also a small schedule.

In the past few days, a total of five new films have been released, and three of them have been released on the same day, including "Chasing the Murderer" produced by Dream Media.

In the afternoon, at Pershing Movie World, Su Xiaohui took his girlfriend's hand and walked into the hall of this theater.

The girlfriend looked left and right and asked curiously, "What movie are we watching?"

Her eyes are fixed on the large poster of "Heroes on Fire" in front of her, in which the famous Hollywood movie star Max Quake is handsomely driving a motorcycle out of the fire, giving people a strong sense of visual impact.

Su Xiaohui knew that his girlfriend liked to watch Hollywood blockbusters, and Max Quake was also her favorite Hollywood star, so he coughed twice in embarrassment and took out two tickets from his pocket: "Let's watch this." ”

My girlfriend snatched the movie ticket and looked at it, and was dumbfounded: "What kind of film is chasing the murderer?"

Su Xiaohui hehehehe: "Yes." ”

The girlfriend who reacted immediately gave him a big roll of his eyes, and said coquettishly: "What's so good about this movie, I want to watch "Fire Heroes"!"

Su Xiaohui hurriedly coaxed: "Watch "Chasing the Murderer" first, the ticket was given by someone else, I have to publish a movie review in the evening, you want to watch "Heroes of Fire", I will take you to watch it tomorrow." ”

Su Xiaohui is a self-media, because of his profession, he has cooperated with some websites, and the two movie tickets in his hand were given by a film and television website, and the other party also invited him to a film review.

This is not the first time Su Xiaohui has received such a job, although he is not a professional film critic, the number of hits on the Internet is not low, and it has also earned him a lot of extra money.

Taking your girlfriend to watch a movie today is to kill two birds with one stone.

"You want to be beautiful..."

The girlfriend who was chased by Su Xiaohui not long ago is still a little arrogant: "Let me work with you on New Year's Day, you want to send me away in a movie?"

Su Xiaohui smiled bitterly: "Then what do you say?"

The girlfriend's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "I owe it first, I'll tell you when I think about it, don't cheat!"

Su Xiaohui nodded like pecking rice: "Okay, okay..."

He estimated that all the extra money he earned from writing movie reviews was put into it, and it might not be enough.

But his girlfriend was happy, and happily pulled him to the theater: "Let's go, it's going to start." ”

"Huh?"

After checking in and finding a seat and sitting down, Su Xiaohui's girlfriend looked left and right, a little surprised: "There are quite a lot of people, what is this movie about?"

The two arrived a little late, the movie was about to start, and the theater was almost half occupied.

That's a lot of time in the afternoon.

"The one who solved the case..."

Su Xiaohui said: "Luo Kai and Mo Lan know, right? ”

"They?"

The girlfriend finally got a little more interested: "I've seen it on the Internet, and it's very hyped, do you think it's a routine to promote the movie?"

Compared with domestic entertainment stars, she prefers foreign ones, and she rarely watches domestic films, and she doesn't pay much attention to the star gossip at night: "Luo Kai I know, he sings well." ”

Su Xiaohui is also half an insider, shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be hype..."

The girlfriend pursed her lips and pulled her phone out of her bag.

She didn't have much interest in domestic movies in the first place, and she didn't like the crime-solving theme, so she sacrificed it for her boyfriend and dedicated more than an hour of time.

Let's play with your phone.

The next moment, the lights in the theater dimmed.

The movie begins.

The second one is sent.
