After Superintendent Wong's sacrifice, the plot immediately entered its climax.

In order to clear his name, Liu Jianming, after obtaining information about Han Chen, uprooted his entire gang.

In order to silence him, they lured Han Chen to the underground parking lot and then shot him dead.

In other words.

In the first half of the movie, the two bosses, Han Chen and Superintendent Huang, both disappeared from the story.

The two main characters, Lau Kin-ming and Chan Wing-yan, appeared on the rooftop.

The classic dialogue also drew cheers from the audience.

Although many people had already seen this scene in the trailer, audiences still found it very exciting when connected by the context of the entire film.

They stared intently at the screen, afraid of missing a single detail.

Just as Chen Yongren was about to arrest Liu Jianming, Big B, played by Lin Jiadong, appeared on the rooftop.

He was a detective in the Criminal Intelligence Bureau, and a subordinate of Lau Kin-ming.

He was also Han Chen's former inside man.

He greatly admired Lau Kin-ming and often assisted him with extra work after Lau Kin-ming was transferred to the Serious Crimes Unit.

It wasn't until after Han Chen's death that Big B revealed to Lau Kin-ming that he was also an undercover agent sent by Han to infiltrate the police force.

Now, with Chen Yongren holding a gun to his head, Liu Jianming wants to rescue his superior.

He drew his gun and pointed it at Chen Yongren, saying, "Put down your gun and release Officer Liu first."

Chen Yongren, hiding behind Liu Jianming, pressed a gun against Liu Jianming's head and said to Big B, "Your boss is Han Chen's mole. I have the evidence. We'll talk at the police station."

But Big B stepped forward, warning, "Put down your gun, put the gun down."

“I called the police,” Chen Yongren said calmly.

"Why should I believe you?" Big B asked nervously.

Upon hearing this, Chen Yongren pressed a gun against Liu Jianming's head, forcing him to walk forward, and said, "You don't need to believe me."

At that time, there were a total of three undercover agents on the rooftop.

Two villains, one hero.

The plot was so captivating that viewers found it incredibly exciting.

"Oh my god, I'm so nervous, I can't even watch anymore."

"Yes, I was wondering whether Chen Yongren could successfully escape from the hands of these two villainous undercover agents."

"I'm sweating."

"Me too!!!"

"Although this police thriller doesn't have many gunfights, I don't know why, but it's incredibly addictive after watching it."

"I have a feeling that this Big B is an undercover agent, he should be an undercover agent on Han Chen's side."

That's when everyone's in a dilemma.

Chen Yongren led Liu Jianming to the elevator entrance.

Just as I was about to enter the elevator.

Big B shot him in the head with a single shot.

Chen Yongren collapsed immediately.

Upon seeing this, the audience gasped in surprise.

"Wow, this plot twist is amazing!!"

"My God, what the hell is this? Is Zhengpai dead?"

"Is the villain going to become king?!"

Chen Yongren's unwilling expression was frozen in the camera's frame.

The audience found it hard to accept at first.

Many people felt sorry for Chen Yongren.

After working hard as an undercover agent for over 10 years, this is what happened in the end.

After Chen Yongren collapsed, the elevator doors kept opening and closing.

This scene is very memorable.

Big B walked up behind Liu Jianming, unlocked his handcuffs, and whispered, "Now that Brother Chen is dead, you have to protect me from now on."

After saying that, he walked up to Chen Yongren and fired another shot.

Liu Jianming shuddered in fright, seemingly still not quite recovered.

The audience then realized that Big B was also one of the undercover agents.

Of course, some viewers had already guessed it.

However, everyone now understands this storyline.

Just when everyone thought that Big B would cover up the truth with Lau Kin-ming, the elevator doors opened again.

Everyone looked towards the elevator entrance.

There were two people lying inside.

One is Chen Yongren, played by Tony Leung, and the other is Big B, played by Lam Ka-tung.

Clearly, anyone who knows Liu Jianming's true identity must die.

This is the end.

The movie ends.

When the lights came on again.

Everyone was surprised.

"Is this the end?"

"Huh? The bad guys didn't get the punishment they deserved?"

"That's impossible!! According to the usual plot, the bad guys will definitely get away with it in the end."

"Wow, no wonder Director Song said this is an original film, it doesn't follow the usual formula."

"Oh my god!! I'm getting goosebumps."

"As someone who has watched over 100 movies, I can objectively tell you that this is the best crime thriller ever made."

After leaving the Hong Kong cinema, Xiao Zhang immediately shared his views on the film industry.

[Infernal Affairs—the best crime thriller ever, bar none!]

[Infernal Affairs is undoubtedly a pinnacle of the crime thriller genre, judging from its plot, cast, and attention to detail. Here's a tiny spoiler.]

As a film critic who has been involved in the film industry for many years, many people naturally recognize Xiao Zhang's ID.

Many netizens in Hong Kong didn't take this movie seriously, since a domestic police and gangster film released simultaneously in Hong Kong was doomed to fail.

Although the quality of TVB's police dramas has not been very good in recent years, a fallen camel is still bigger than a horse.

They would rather watch TVB crime dramas than mainland Chinese films.

However, when they saw Xiao Zhang's high praise, they all became curious.

Is this movie really as good as Xiao Zhang said?
soon.

With the conclusion of the first premiere of "Infernal Affairs".

Online reviews and reports about "Infernal Affairs" have also emerged.

Their titles are almost all things like "The Ceiling of Police and Gangster Films" or "The Pinnacle of Police and Gangster Films".

Some netizens who were less optimistic criticized the headline as clickbait.

However, with more and more reviews, its reputation quickly soared.

Not only in China, but also in Hong Kong's independent media, there are reports about "Infernal Affairs".

"Oh my god, this movie is really good!!"

"What I really want to know is whether Liu Jianming will ultimately escape legal accountability!"

"This movie didn't arrest the bad guys. Is it trying to promote the idea that good will always prevail over evil?!"

"Yeah, this feels like a flawed set of values."

"Director Song, you'd better come out and explain yourself."

That evening, Song Hao also started a live stream on Douyin.

He plans to provide detailed answers to the questions raised by netizens.

When netizens learned that Song Hao would be doing a live stream on Douyin that night, they flocked to his live stream room.

The moment the broadcast started, 300,000 viewers and fans flooded in.

This surprised everyone.

Moreover, it is increasing by 20,000 people per minute.

It seems this movie has left a lasting impression, with people still curious about its content.

Looking at the sea of ​​comments, Song Hao smiled and said, "Hello everyone, have you eaten yet?"

"have eaten!"

"not yet!"

"I'm watching your live stream while I'm eating!!"

Song Hao cheerfully said, "Today is May Day, wishing everyone a happy holiday~"

"Fun."

"Happy together! Happy together!"

"Director Song, I hope you're happy too~~"

At this moment, Song Hao's assistant whispered a reminder: "Mr. Song, the number of viewers in the live stream has reached 150 million."

Song Hao was also somewhat surprised: "So many people." Netizens also urged him on: "We're all here to ask about 'Infernal Affairs'!"

"Yes!!"

"Quickly tell us about the creative process behind 'Infernal Affairs'."

"hurry up!"

Song Hao looked at the camera and said, "Actually, police and gangster films have always been a common genre, both domestically and internationally."

"In China, there's a common storyline, like starting with a bank robbery or a murder, right?"

Song Hao's words immediately resonated with the audience.

"Yes, yes, that's right. Every time I watch a police drama, it's this kind of movie. I'm about to throw up."

"At first I thought you also made this type of film, so I didn't plan to watch it at first."

"I also thought Director Song would make something like this. This afternoon I saw that the reviews were all pretty good, so I went to watch it. After watching it, I was really impressed."

"I really didn't expect that Director Song could make such an artistic film out of a crime thriller."

"It was so good, I still remember those lines."

Looking at everyone's comments, Song Hao chuckled and said, "That's why I thought I should make a unique movie. The undercover theme of both sides was approved by our leaders before I made it."

"Great! Our leader actually agreed to film this kind of subject matter this time!"

"The leaders must have gotten tired of the old police and gangster movies. With such a good story this time, they definitely couldn't resist."

"What I'm curious about is why the leader agreed to let the diagonal line ultimately override the straight line?"

"Yes, the villain Lau Kin-ming didn't die in the end, but the good guy's undercover agent did. What are we going to do? This doesn't follow the usual pattern of movies."

Just then, Song Hao said something that made everyone gasp.

"There will be a second and a third installment in this Infernal Affairs series. After these two are completed, it will be a trilogy. At that time, you will find out whether the bad guys have finally escaped."

After Song Hao finished saying that sentence.

Comments abound.

"My God, are they going to make three movies?!"

"This 'Infernal Affairs' series is about to take off!"

"I really didn't expect them to make a sequel!!"

"If that's the case, then I can understand why the leader dared to film like that!"

"Hahahaha, Director Song, I believe you'll be releasing the second film next week, right?"

"Is the third season coming out the week after next?!"

"Come out quickly!"

Song Hao's assistant was monitoring the data in the live stream.

She was surprised to find that the number of viewers in the live stream had reached more than 300 million.

What an incredible number of online users!

The news that Song Hao was going to film the Infernal Affairs trilogy also spread quickly online.
