There is a beginning to the story, a process, and eventually an end to it.


There's the beginning of a collaboration between the two actors, the grind of the process, and the end.

Mr. Ginno's agent wasn't too happy about what happened that day, but in the end, the two sides chose to reconcile, and there was nothing anyone else could do about it if neither men were going to argue with the other.

Director Li Wei had some conversations with Mr. Ginno and Tang Feng respectively, trying to reconcile the conflicts between the two men, and the good thing is that neither man is a hateful carrying person and will not hold a grudge against the other.

Movie: Satan’s Alley

Act 72, England, ending.

"Chris....Chris...."

He embraced him, his voice suppressed and trembling, as if he had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant, and he thought they would be liberated after they left the seaside chapel and came to the big city, but the end was finally heart-wrenching.

"I love hearing your voice, Tang, and I ask you to continue to give your voice to the world in the future." Chris, who was lying in the arms of the friar, was a bit pale, and the corners of his mouth were constantly bleeding out red-like blood.

Just now they were walking together through the streets of the night when a group of men suddenly rushed towards them and dragged them into the alleyway, beating and kicking at them, with cursing and swearing coming from their mouths.

"You disgusting homo-s!"

"Go to hell!"

"You should all be burned!"

"Those who have betrayed God can only go to hell!"

No one in the dark alley had any idea what was going on, and the occasional passerby just hurried away not wanting to get into trouble.

Even in a foreign country they have been low-key life, open technology brings people hope for the future, but it is difficult to instantly erase part of the deep-rooted conservative thinking, they live a life of conscientiousness, and hard work, they can always hope for a good life.

Friar Tang thought of the friend he had met unexpectedly with Chris a week earlier, the man who had also been a friar who had been educated in the Church with Chris, a colleague during the three years Chris had been away. While Chris at that time was still reveling in the joy of seeing his old friend in a foreign land, Tang was beginning to get a little worried, he thought that the news of the two of them fleeing the sea had somehow reached somewhere, he thought that there must be many people who knew that the two of them had left at the same time and even guessed why the two of them had left.

He worries that Chris's friend knows about their relationship, but doesn't want to micro-vilify Chris's joy and sadness when he sees his friend.

After the friend left, Tang told Chris about his worries, and that's when the latter reacted.

When they join hands and betray God, it also means having to leave the world in which they are living in the religion, but Chris preferred to trust his friend.

When they were beaten, Chris held the friar tiredly in his arms, and those shouts ended up mingling with the beatings and rambling curses till they became unrecognizable.

One of the patrolmen happened to pass by and reprimanded the group, the outlaws left a knife stabbed behind him viciously as they left, the patrolman chased the outlaws away, and the alleyway ended up with only two of them.

"No, you cannot leave me... have you forgotten your vows? You promised me we were going to live together, together!“ There were only two friars in the dark and cold alley and a person's hoarse voice, those pains and sorrows echoed in the alley, despair annihilated him like tears.

He tried to muffle Chris's wounds from the constant flow of sample blood, but the sample red that had taken Chris's body temperature and life was still dripping down through the cracks in his fingers.

He couldn't help it, he cried out in despair. "Help him! Please....someone help him!"





Such a cry for help had been shouted countless times before when he encountered the mobsters, and even now, only he could hear Chris’s own vocalizations of "Tang." The dying Chris took the man's hand with his last strength, his pale lips raised a smile to his lover, "I never regret the choice I made, even if the end is still destruction, I will still choose to fall in love with you in a limited time, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you anymore, brakes of the days, please carry my love and hope all the way, live well......."

The man's tears blurred his vision, and he finally couldn't help tilting his head up and hissing when the love that gave him boundless hope and warmth in his arms finally grew cold.

“Ahhhhhh!"

If God wants to give people a future and a toxic hope, why does he choose to take away everything from them?

"You can't take away my ... love."

The flowing tears dripped down his lover's face, and the friar bowed his head and kissed Chris's forehead, not regretting his choice between faith in God and self.

Even if the ending is still now desperate and wanting to hurt, at least they were once sincerely in love.

I will, and will live always with your love for me.

Like the once Chris had followed Tang’s footsteps' journey away for three years, this time they would not be separated from each other and would embark on their own path together.

Tang cremated Chris, leaning on his good English to get a job as a translator, translating Chinese into English, and hitting the road alone whenever he got a paycheck.

Everywhere he went he took a picture, and the man in the picture was always full of long-lived smiles and happiness, and a place was always vacated by his side, and time skip and the elderly friar Tang returned to the place where he and Chris had known each other, and the church halls had long since changed groups of friars in it, and even those who he had once known he was now incapable of meeting.

Tang stood by the shore where he and Chris had first fallen in love, the cool wind having a salty smell that was characteristic of the sea.

Here is the start and here is the end.

The old withered man enumerated his beloved's ashes into the sea, along with all the pictures of his life from youth to old age, all were tossed out to sea.

The sea breeze carried them off into the distance, and the sun broke through the dark clouds and fell slowly, thinly, shatteringly, like pearl dust.

On the screen of the grand theatre, the old man closed his eyes, as if he were back in his youth, and beside him stood Chris, who was holding his hand.

The sunlight of broken gold enveloped them...

At this point the voiceover from Tang Feng pairing comes on: It's said that when you try to think of a future with someone and want to grow old with them, you are really in love with them, it has nothing to do with gender.

Even if you know that this is a forbidden emotion in a forbidden break, you are willing to join him hand in hand towards the endless abyss.

One final line of text appears on the screen – THE END

[1] that was heartbreaking... I feel like how I felt watching the Finale of A Single Man... So I say I pity those who fall in love... when its gone there is no compared heartbreak but one must ask the most important question is the joy of falling in love worth the heartbreak?

A month after filming, and in time for several major festivals this year, Director Li Wei hastily sent the half-finished product to the screen, which was not officially broadcast to the public, but rather a media taster for industry figures and some journalists.

The semi-finished product will be available for comments from some professionals and the media will publish some news reports on it.

There will be further post-production, such as soundtrack, coloring, and editing, and it will be four or five months before the finished product comes out to the public, or even six months.

Those who entered first and reflected later, often gaining the attention of the festival and winning related awards will attract the attention of a section of the audience, thus generating the box office and popularity of the festival when it is shown in public.

But there's a downside, too, and if the reviews of the pre-screen aren't good, then the final box office will suffer badly.

Since Director Li Wei dared to compete first, he had his own determination and confidence.

At this time, the media screening was attended by all but the Director, and when it was over, there was silence in the theater, even Tang Feng could not help but sweat.

He seems to have returned to the time when he was in his first film, nervous from beginning to end, his hands dripping with sweat, both expecting the audience's affection and fearing their disgust.

After about four or five seconds, someone applauded.

Immediately after, one audience member after another stood up and applause rang out in the grand theater, and Tang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking at least the movie was not bad. The younger man hurriedly released his hand when Tang Feng looked at Mr. Ginno, who was sitting on his side of the lawn, with a look of excitement.

After that incident, although the two of them finished acting, Mr. Ginno also avoided Tang Feng a bit.

Tang Feng smiled as he reached over and patted the back of Mr. Ginno's hand: "The preliminary evaluation of the media will come out tomorrow, remember to go and talk to some media later and talk to them in advance."

"You played it really well." Mr. Ginno said.

"I've put no more thought into what happened that day, and I hope we can continue to work together in the future."




"Don't say it like we're about to split up, and don't forget we have to run around promoting it." Mr. Ginno laughed and was satisfied to hear Tang Feng's forgiveness from his own ears.

There will be a reception after the screening, but unfortunately, Tang Feng didn't get a chance to attend.

He was whacking his clothes in the dressing room when someone pushed the door open and a man who looked like a mannequin came towards him with two men, Xiao Yu shouted after him, "You can't go in!"

"May I ask what can I do for you?" Tang Feng looked over at the approaching man.

"Hello, I'm Ivan, Team Leader of Interpol UK, please come with us."
