Yanjing.

Jiumen Snack Street.

Lao Zou's fried chicken stall.

"Lao Zou, what time will you close the stall?"

"What do you know, Lao Zou has come out, just collecting the franchise fee for a week and working for us for a year, why do you have to work so hard."

"What I'm saying is that I've seen several Lao Zoujia fried chicken franchise stores, and it seems that advertising is really beneficial."

"Lao Zou's advertisement is too hot. Recently, there was a TV series that was particularly popular, and my eldest granddaughter was fascinated. There is Lao Zou's fried chicken inside, and she pesters me every day to eat Lao Zou's fried chicken, not to mention, and secretly drinks beer. ”

……

All kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred surrounded Zou Datong's family.

Zou Datong said with a smile: "I don't know what franchise chain is, it's all Tianming doing, I'll make my fried chicken, and the craftsmanship handed down from my ancestors can't be destroyed in my hands." Tonight, the stall was closed in advance, mainly because my wife and I planned to go to a movie later. ”

At this time, the customer who wrapped the remaining fried chicken suddenly asked, "You can't go to see "Nine Gates", right?" ”

"It's "Nine Gates", and my husband is still playing himself in it." Zou's wife was very proud, and greeted the stall owners who knew her well, "I'll invite everyone to watch a movie in a few days." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

"Speaking of which, the two of us haven't watched a movie for a long time."

"Sister-in-law of the Zou family, it's okay to play in the morning and at noon, don't just do it in the afternoon and evening."

The customer said: "Boss, there are still you in "Nine Gates"? You can't be the former Nine Doors anti-pickpockets, right? ”

Zou Datong waved his hand modestly: "It's all in the past, and now I'm a guy who buys fried chicken nuggets." ”

The customer didn't say anything more, threw down a hundred dollars and didn't give change, and turned away.

……

Jinling.

After a busy day, Cui Yushan, who had just finished a manuscript, came home very late.

"You're back, have you eaten? The family left you food, and Mom went to give you hot food. ”

"No need Mom, I've eaten at the company. Dad, this is the ticket for tonight's "Nine Gates" zero point field, do you really want to watch the zero point field? ”

"Let him see, or he will always have a problem in his heart."

"That's fine. Dad, I'll accompany you to see it in the evening, and I have to write a press release for "Nine Gates" tomorrow. ”

……

Fruit shop at the entrance of the community.

Deng Lixun helped his daughter-in-law move the fruits at the door back to the store and stack them.

"Are you stupid? Mr. Mai is kind enough to help our family, why should you refuse. ”

"You know!"

"Yes, I don't understand, you know. You go to make a movie, you don't want a penny, and you have to go to the movie tonight. The child's cram school is about to be paid, I don't care, you have to find a way! ”

Deng Lixun: "......"

"Is Deng Lixun here?"

"Who's looking for me...... It's you? ”

"Hello Brother Deng, I didn't expect you to remember me." The seller Xiaoyu held Deng Lixun's hand, and Miao Ruoyi also stood outside the fruit store and looked around.

"You're the villain, how could I not remember you."

Miao Ruoyi turned around and walked into the store: "Brother Deng, sister-in-law, the location of your store is good." ”

Deng's wife didn't know why, and looked at the sale of Xiaoyu and Miao Ruoyi.

Deng Lixun asked, "Maizi asked you to come?" ”

Selling small fish and waving their hands; "No, we're here for a few days on business and we're going to go to the movies tonight. I remember that Brother Deng was also there, so I came to watch a movie with you. ”

Miao Ruoyi took Deng's wife's hand: "Sister-in-law, the location of your shop is good, have you ever thought about changing your business?" ”

"We don't know anything other than selling fruit."

"There's always fried chicken."

"Fried chicken? It seems to have been selling particularly hot recently. ”

"Yes, because "Star" is a hit, fried chicken and beer have become a perfect match, and business is very good. We came this time mainly to help franchisees choose a location. The location of your store is small, and you can separate a piece of fried chicken from Lao Zou's family. ”

"Won't the franchise fee be expensive?"

"Haha, sister-in-law, you and Brother Deng are willing to pay, but Brother Zou may not be willing to ask for it. You don't know yet, Brother Zou and Brother Deng are both former members of the Nine Gates, and their relationship is very good. ”

"That relationship is so good......" Finding Deng Lixun glaring at her, she pouted back, "Look at what I'm doing!" Do it first, and when you make money, you can't make up for the franchise fee! ”

Miao Ruoyi smiled: "What my sister-in-law said is reasonable. I see you've closed the stall too, let's go to the movies together, right? ”

"Girl, I'm not going. I'm not afraid of your jokes, our family's situation is not very good, Lao Deng bought a ticket, and I scolded him for a long time. ”

The big flaking big flatura said, "Hey, I thought it was the matter, we bought four tickets and happened to go to see it together." ”

……

Deep City.

It is a café with a nostalgic theme.

There are a lot of genuine CDs and books on the floor shelves, there are a lot of interesting gadgets scattered around every corner, old black and white TVs with feather dusters, the "Little Overlord game console" that I played in my childhood, the most old-fashioned hair dryer in the bathroom, the pattern on the old-fashioned radio is very trendy, and there is also a cassette player with a cassette tape......

The retro and nostalgic atmosphere is as thick and mellow as a strong coffee, and there are many people in the coffee shop, most of whom are middle-aged people in their thirties and forties.

Zhang Zhen is one of them, sitting in the café, the order of Mocha in front of him has not moved, quietly listening to the "Old Boy" lingering in the store.

"Mom, what's wrong with my dad?"

"Your dad has heard something and felt something, let's not disturb him."

Does he remember his time with his boss? Mom, let's go to Yanjing for the New Year this year, my dad has a lot of friends in Yanjing, he can get together with them. ”

"Why didn't you say you wanted to see Mai Xiaoyu?"

"I want to see the boss, who made me wheat flour. Mom, aren't you also wheat flour, don't you want to? ”

"I just want to know the finale of "Star" in advance, and don't want to be like the tragedy that is said on the Internet."

"Why don't we give him a call?"

"Forget it, the movie is still more than half an hour away, let's go watch the movie. First of all, I said that I would not be allowed to lie in bed tomorrow and not be late for school. ”

……

Almost all of the first-tier cities in China have opened the midnight show of "Nine Gates", although it is early Thursday morning, but many people have already bought movie tickets early, intending to have a sneak peek.

For some, it's to remember the memories of the past; Some people are moved by the song "Old Boy"; Some people signed contracts for the stars of the cute people mentioned in the publicity; Some people are aiming at the "alien professor" Mai Xiaoyu; There are also those who do it for themselves...... For example, some members of the urban civil anti-pickpocketing alliance.

After eleven o'clock, Mai Xiaoyu was also ready to leave.

Making a movie on your own and going to the theater are two completely different experiences. Even if he had seen a sample film in the company's small screening room, it was not the same as watching a movie in a theater, and he wanted to see how the audience reacted.

"Brother, can you go?"

Dressed comfortably stood in front of Mai Xiaoyu.

Mai Xiaoyu walked over and gently pulled her hat to cover the exposed half of her ears; He lifted his scarf again and covered most of his face.

"Let's go, let's see how the movie starring you and I is doing."

Qian Qian and Liu Tao are also in Yanjing at the moment, and they also know that Mai Xiaoyu will go back to the cinema tonight, but they did not propose to go to the movie with Mai Xiaoyu, leaving the opportunity to Shu Chang.

Tonight is a special night for Shu Chang.

Mai Xiaoyu drove Shu Chang to Hailian International Cinema.

Near midnight, when the theater began to check tickets, there was a long queue, most of them were girls, some were accompanied by boys, and some were not; There are also men who come alone, but mainly middle-aged men.

At the ticket gate, when it was Mai Xiaoyu's turn and Shu Chang, the ticket inspector saw Mai Xiaoyu and was stunned.

Mai Xiaoyu laughed softly: "Why, I covered it so tightly and was recognized by you?" ”

"Teach, Teach......"

"Shhhh

Professor, please me!

The ticket inspector was a little excited, and reacted quickly, so fast that it did not arouse the suspicion of the audience who were filming behind Mai Xiaoyu and Shu Chang, and immediately let Mai Xiaoyu and Shu Chang in after checking the tickets.

It's a small hall with less than 100 people. Because it is a midnight show, many people have to go to work and school tomorrow, and there are not many people who go to watch movies in the middle of the night, but because of the small hall, the attendance rate can be about 70%.

Mai Xiaoyu and Shu Chang's seats are in the middle, which is an ideal viewing position. There was also a couple sitting next to Mai Xiaoyu, who were flirting and scolding, and they didn't notice him.

At 0:00 on the 22nd, "Nine Gates" was officially broadcast.

After the dragon mark, is it the opening animation, or the old title that has been used by Mengren Film and Television for ten years.

The three children laughed and released red, yellow and blue fireworks.

Fireworks exploded in the sky, and the full moon was blown into a crescent moon, and a figure sat on it.

This person exaggerated "huh", and waved out the fishing rod with his hand, fishing out the four big characters of "cute film and television".

Immediately afterwards, the powerful word "Nine Doors" appeared on the screen, and the movie began.

This is the only script created by Mai Xiaoyu independently, and the first half refers to the routine of the dream movie "The Gift of Room No. 7".

At the beginning, the plane landed at the Capital International Airport, holding his mother's ashes comfortably, and walked off the plane sadly and walked out of the airport.

At the same time, the opening credits of the producer, producer, director, screenwriter, and cinematographer appear on the screen in turn.

Shu Chang held his mother's ashes, drove to the Forgotten Bar, and met Wu Weiguo.

In the conversation with Wu Weiguo, through interspersed memories, the past of the former Nine Gates Anti-Pickpocketing Alliance was revealed. Subsequently, the disbanded Jiumen anti-pickpocket team members came from all over the country to attend Song's mother's funeral.

At the funeral, most of the former anti-pickpocket team members have entered middle age, and they soothe the tearful comfort and sigh about everything they have experienced.

With the help of the funeral, as well as the conversation between the anti-pickpocket team members and Shu Chang, the film continues to show the audience through memories that at the end of the nineties, there were many non-governmental anti-pickpocket alliance organizations active in Yanjing City, and Jiumen is one of the largest anti-pickpocket alliances.

In his free time, he spontaneously organized patrols to patrol the streets and crack down on petty thieves and gangsters; On the bus and in the supermarket, he acted bravely, pursued and arrested the thief and sent him to the police station; also cooperate with the police to crack down on and arrest illegal and criminal elements; Retaliated by the criminals, the team rushed to the rescue as fast as possible......

Of all the frames, the two people stand out the most.

One is Dong Ping who is dressed as a man by Shu Chang, and the other is Mai Shouzheng played by Mai Xiaoyu, who has various fighting scenes with criminals, even if he is scarred, he has a bright smile on his face when he twists the suspect to the police.

The picture cuts back to reality, still at Song's mother's funeral, Shu Chang finally asked about the cause of his brother Dong Ping's death.

Wu Weiguo and others were afraid that she would be sad, so they didn't want to talk about it, but the memories in their minds were presented on the screen.

On a sunny day, a well-dressed young man stole from Lao Wang's tobacco and liquor shop and was discovered by the boss Lao Wang.

The young man ran away, and the old king chased after him, shouting "catch the thief" at the same time.

Dong Ping, who was returning from shopping in the supermarket, happened to pass by, and when he saw this situation, he dropped his shopping bag and chased after him.

Dong Ping was young and strong, and his speed was very fast, and he soon surpassed Lao Wang and chased the well-dressed young man into the poor alley.

However, the style of painting has changed abruptly.

By the time Lao Wang called the police and arrived with the police, Dong Ping had already fallen in a pool of blood, and there was a young man standing next to him, with a blue nose and swollen face and blood on his hands.

The screen switches and becomes a court session.

In the face of the prosecutor's prosecutor, the key witness Lao Wang flatly denied it, saying that the young man who stole at that time was not the young man in the court - Wu Shirong, the only son of the chairman of Qingtian Group.

In the end, based on the testimony of the existing witnesses, the court ruled that Dong Ping chased and hit the wrong person, and was suspected of negligent injury; However, Wu Shirong's stabbing of Dong Ping was justified defense, and he did not bear legal responsibility for Dong Ping's death due to excessive blood loss.

Such a verdict is chilling, and in Yanjing City, a number of non-governmental anti-pickpocket alliances led by Jiumen have been disbanded.

At the end of the memory, the picture is frozen on Dong Ping's tombstone.

Wu Weiguo asked Shu Chang what his plans were for the future; Shu Chang told him that his mother liked to listen to his singing, and he planned to become a singer to express his sorrow through singing.

After the funeral, everyone left one after another, but Shu Chang refused to leave until dark.

When Wu Weiguo beckoned her to leave, Shu Chang said excitedly: "He didn't come!" ”

The first half of the content is a line, about thirty or forty minutes. The picture, colors, dialogues, expressions, soundtrack and other aspects are dull and depressing, and many viewers are in a heavy mood.

Although I feel sorry for Dong Ping's experience, and there are still a small number of vulnerable viewers whose eyes are moist, but in terms of personal senses, this kind of overly heavy plot makes the audience feel a sense of rejection in their hearts.

Life is already full of pressure, work, house, car, relationships, children, etc. are like mountains pressing on the heart, overwhelming people.

Why are variety shows popular?

Why do some low-reputation movies sell well at the box office?

Why do people like to watch celebrity gossip?

It's not that there are 2Bs in the audience, but that the audience needs a channel to vent all kinds of pressure in their hearts.

Entertainment and entertainment, entertainment for the masses.

In reality, it is already very depressing, and spending money to watch a movie that makes the mood even heavier, the audience instinctively dislikes it.

Generally, movies with heavy themes will be interspersed with some joyful plots to play a role in moderation and mediation. Just like "The Gift of Room No. 7" referred to by Mai Xiaoyu, although the process of overturning the case in reality is heavy, the bits and pieces in the memories do not lose warmth and joy.

"It's kind of boring." The boy next to Mai Xiaoyu spoke the hearts of many viewers.

His female companion persuaded: "Wait a little longer, the boss should officially appear." ”

"He didn't come!"

With Shu Chang's words, the camera moved up and towards the starry sky, and one of the stars was shining.

At the same time, a song rang out.

"The brightest star in the night sky,

can you hear clearly,

He who looks,

Loneliness and sighs in the bottom of my heart......"

In the singing, the picture switches to daytime, Liu Tao stands on the roof of the building, and excitedly says to the police: "Don't come here!" Let him come, or I'll jump off at once......"
