The protagonist of the movie, Zhang Ye, is a wanderer in the dark night of the city, a ferryman for every lonely soul, and a super-powerful hero who can kill people.As a cowardly and mentally repressed online ride-hailing driver, he is usually taciturn and often talks to himself when alone. When faced with bullying, he often chooses to retreat. He can only fantasize about counterattacks in his heart. In the world of fantasy novels, powerful explosive power lurks..

His accent while wearing sunglasses and smoking is enough to make all women within a kilometer radius fascinated.I am already underground, but you can still see the stars.
The play is adapted from Cai Jun's suspense novel - The Story of a Murderer - and is directed by Cai Jun himself and produced by Chen Jianbin.
《Mystery of the Night》 is Cai Jun's first work as a director and screenwriter. It is a commercial suspense film with a high sense of quality and spiritual core.
At midnight, the bright lights of the city in the distance contrast with the dim scene of the lonely and dilapidated online car-hailing car in the near distance, which seems to hint at the conflict between the protagonist's inner world and the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The isolated self escapes in a car, and the outside worldThe inside of the car cannot be seen clearly, which shows that the protagonist's heart is deeply hidden.The appearance of the car was old, the license plate number was deliberately obscured, and incredible blood stains were found in the trunk.What's even more creepy is that the light from the car's taillights reflected on the rain-mottled ground coincidentally revealed two figures. Who is X?What do these two figures mean?None of this is known.Only a few clues were glimpsed in the project introduction at the press conference: "An inner Ferris wheel, a Shura field of human nature, and after five reversals, a shocking finale..." It can be inferred from this that this workIt is not only a wonderful and high-energy suspense film, but also has a profound expression of spiritual introspection and inner deconstruction of the characters.
As we all know, Cai Jun is known as China's No. 1 suspense writer. He has published more than 30 novels and his works have sold more than 15 million copies.Cai Jun's novels are in a genre of their own, and the stories are highly readable. To a certain extent, they further innovate the suspense and mystery stories on the market in terms of creativity and concept.Many people will talk about the term “Cai Jun's suspense style”, but what does Cai Jun's real suspense style look like? I believe he can only be the director to present an original Cai Jun suspense universe to everyone.
《Mystery of the Night》 is produced by Oriental Beauty (Beijing) Film Company, Beijing Baina Qiancheng Film and Television Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Haolin Culture Communication Co., Ltd.
