The lights in the hall had already dimmed completely, leaving only the screen at the front emitting light. Li Changqing and Xi Chu weren't affected by the darkness; they made their way to the last row where all the disciples of the Seven Immortals Alliance in Shen City and the three grand masters were already seated—the very seats assigned by the movie tickets from "Swallow".
Li Changqing nodded to everyone and then took his seat.
Just at that moment, the title of the film they were about to watch tonight appeared on the screen:
Eight Thousand Li of Cloud and Moon
…
It was a very long film. Most movies lasted around sixty minutes, and the longest ones would not exceed ninety minutes, but this new film by the famous Shen City director Deng Zongnan was nearly a hundred and twenty minutes long.
It was almost unheard of in the history of cinema for a film to be this lengthy.
