Chongqing Hot Pot, the latest film by director and scriptwriter Yang Qing, is about three heroes and one heroine who make literally bloody efforts to save a bleak hotpot business.

《火锅英雄》是由导演兼编剧杨庆拍摄的最新电影，讲述的是三位男主角和女主角拼尽全力挽救暗淡的火锅生意的故事。

It may sound crazy, but that’s the signature style of Yang, who made his film debut in 2009 with the crime comedy One Night in Supermarket, infusing dynamite energy into everyday life and creating stories that are dark yet exciting, hilarious yet touching.

这可能听起来很疯狂，但这是杨庆的独特风格。2009年他推出了自己的处女作—犯罪喜剧《夜店》，将一些爆炸性元素注入到日常生活，创造出的故事黑暗却又令人兴奋，滑稽却又感人。

The new film starts with an intriguing bank robbery. Four robbers wearing masks of the famous four figures from the classic story Journey to the West rob a bank in Chongqing with knives and guns.

这部新电影以一个有趣的银行抢劫案开始。四名抢劫犯头戴经典电视剧《西游记》4大主角头像的面具，持刀枪抢劫一家银行。

However, their getaway driver waiting outside accidentally gives up their secret to a traffic policeman, so the four are trapped in the bank and will have to find another way out. Then when they finally enter the vault, one of them discovers a big hole in the floor.

然而，在外面等候的司机逃跑后无意将这个秘密泄露给了一名交通警察，所以四个人被困在银行，不得不另寻出路。当他们进入地窖后，其中一个人发现了在地板上的大洞。

Then follows one of the most impressive scenes in the film, moving along the long and winding air-raid shelters, which were built during World War II when Chongqing was the temporary capital of the Republic of China (1912-49).

电影最令人印象深刻的场景之一便是，一伙人沿着长而盘旋的防空洞前行，该防空洞建于第二次世界大战期间，当时（1912年至1949年）重庆是中华人民共和国的临时首都。

The hotpot restaurant the four heroes want to protect is located within one of these air-raid shelters. Former schoolmates Liu Bo (Chen Kun), Xu Dong (Qin Hao) and Wang Pingchuan (Yu Entai) opened the restaurant together. But the business is not doing well, so the three decide to expand it, so they can then sell it as a larger restaurant. Accidentally, their construction leads directly to the bank.

四大主角想要保护的火锅餐厅位于这些防空洞之一。老同学，刘波（陈坤），许东（秦豪）和王平川（喻恩泰）合伙开了一家火锅店。但生意不好，所以三人决定它扩充店面，这样便很容易卖掉它。在矿建过程中，他们不小心挖到了银行钱库。

The major story revolves around how the three go to negotiate with Yu Xiaohui (Bai Baihe), their schoolmate and a staff member in the bank, to resolve their mess, when they then cross paths with the four robbers.

故事主要围绕三人和于小慧（白百何）协商如何解决自己的困境展开，于小慧是他们的老同学也是一名银行工作人员。之后他们与四名劫匪狭路相逢。

Meanwhile, the film also provides parallel threads - such as family issues, love stories and gangster battles - that develop simultaneously and at some points interweave with the major story to create surprises.

同时，电影还提供并行线索，例如家庭问题，爱情故事和匪徒战斗并举，与主要故事交叉进行创造了不少惊喜。
