After the premiere of "Detective Chinatown".

Lin Xiaoguang, Huang Baoqiang and others were interviewed by reporters.

"Thank you all for your support...... I am very confident in the movie "Detective Chinatown", whether it is the quality or the box office, I guarantee that the audience will definitely be satisfied!"

"Why did you ask Baoqiang to play Tang Ren? Actually, when I was writing the script, I had Baoqiang in mind, and I made an appointment with him when we were still filming "Thai Embarrassment". ”

Lin Xiaoguang knows the audience very well and the media, and he knows how to say it that will satisfy the media and the audience.

There is no doubt that the series of IPs of "People in Embarrassment" is a long-standing topic whenever it is mentioned.

Although it is not a classic blockbuster, Xu Zheng and Huang Baoqiang's performances in the two movies "People in Embarrassment" and "Thai Embarrassment" are still a source of happiness for many audiences.

Of course, "Detective Chinatown" is also a very good movie, especially the prefix of this movie, plus the word "domestic", it is even more different!

The setting of this movie also fully exposes Lin Xiaoguang's ambitions in movies, whether it is the fights, funny, or suspense, they are all worth writing about.

Although it is obvious that there is a meaning to borrow from other movies, but to mix so many elements together, and to make an effect, Lin Xiaoguang's talent once again convinced the reporters present.

Moreover, the movie promotion has also done a very good job.

Whether it's marketing and advertorials on the Internet, or advertising on TV and cinema, it's a big expense.

Although Tolia was unable to attend the premiere of the movie this time, she also said in an interview a few days ago that she would try to find time and schedule to participate in some movie roadshows.

And Huang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran and others, who also represented the crew of "Detective Chinatown" before, appeared on variety shows such as "Happy Camp" and "Everyday Upward", and the publicity effect was quite good.

The various roadshows were also carried out very well, and Lin Xiaoguang has always been kind, and he has never played a big name to the media or fans, and during the filming of "Detective Chinatown", he treated the media with tenderness like a spring breeze.

At that time, when "Detective Chinatown" was filmed in Thailand, many domestic media went to visit the class for interviews, and Lin Xiaoguang not only provided food and accommodation, but even personally asked for warmth!

As the saying goes, those who have attained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help, Lin Xiaoguang is so good at being a man, and the media certainly gives Lin Xiaoguang face.

When publicizing, it is natural to report a little more and try to guide the good side.

So, on February 19, 2015, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the day of the national release.

On the first day of release, "Detective Chinatown" reported 105 million at the box office, second only to the 130 million of "Macau Fengyun 2" and the 120 million of "Heavenly General".

No way, the cast of "Macau Fengyun 2" is too strong, what Zou Yun-fat, Niu Dehua, Jacky Cheung, Zhang Jiahui, Xiang Huaqiang, Xiang Zuo, Li Yuchun, Carina Lau, Wang Shiling, Yue Wenle, etc., are all in this movie, no matter how bad the acting is, no matter how the script is, if this movie is single, it is enough for the audience to have endless aftertaste......

As for "The Heavenly General" starring Jackie Chan, which is known as an investment of 400 million, not to mention, breaking 100 million is basically easier than eating, and in addition to the joining of Hollywood superstars, there is also a lineup of mainland stars from South Korea's Oba and the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Although the box office of "Detective Chinatown" is currently only ranked third, Lin Xiaoguang did not feel disappointed and did not do it, what he cares about most in his heart is the evaluation of the audience.

Tang Taizong Li Shimin said that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, Lin Xiaoguang has always believed in a truth, as long as he shoots the movie well, the audience will definitely go to the cinema to buy it, and the most important thing is the quality of the movie.

What makes Lin Xiaoguang proud is that the audience's evaluation of "Detective Chinatown" is very high, and it can even be said that it is the movie with the best reputation during this year's Spring Festival.

On Douban, the most authoritative website in China, "Detective Chinatown" scored 8.5, 6.1 points for "Heavenly Generals" and 5.7 points for "Macau Fengyun 2".

As for variety shows like "Where Are You Going, Dad 2", there is no need to mention it anymore, it can be counted as a win if it can score 5 points, because it is not a movie at all.

Every time a movie directed by himself is released, no matter how busy he is, Lin Xiaoguang will squeeze out time to watch the audience's evaluation of the film on the Internet.

Whether it is good or bad, as long as it is a pertinent evaluation, Lin Xiaoguang will accept it with an open mind.

Obviously, after the release of "Detective Chinatown", it has received rave reviews on the Internet.

"Drawing on the style of action comedies of old Hong Kong films, the reasoning is okay, it can be seen that Director Lin loves reasoning, there is a reversal at the end, and Liu Haoran has potential. ”

"Director Lin Xiaoguang has improved a lot this time compared to the previous "Thai Embarrassment", Huang Baoqiang is too suitable for comedy, looking at his face, coupled with his accent, even if he doesn't have to act. I will laugh out loud, Liu Haoran of little fresh meat has done a good job, but it is handsome and funny, not bad!"

"Because Director Lin has been close to Deng Chao recently, before watching it, I thought that this might be another pure comedy film similar to "Thai Embarrassment", and it may be a big bad movie like "The Breakup Master".

As a result, under this low expectation, "Detective Chinatown" is surprisingly interesting, exciting, and good-looking!

At the same time, the detective combination of Huang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran is also very good, and Visual Director Lin will become the opening work of the "Detective" series. ”

The so-called shopping around, there are so many movies in the entire Spring Festival, many viewers may watch two or three movies in a row a day, and almost all of them think that "Detective Chinatown" is the best one.

Some enthusiastic and righteous fans even spontaneously posted to others on the Internet for free, Amway's "Detective Chinatown" movie.

"Detective Chinatown is simply so good-looking! It's funny and brain-burning! It's the only movie in the Spring Festival file that can be called excellent!"

"I bought two tickets today, I watched "Macau Fengyun 2" first, I left the show without watching it, I felt a waste of time, and I was still annoyed, why did I have to come to watch the movie during the Chinese New Year, after watching "Detective Chinatown", I just want to say two words: It's so fragrant!"

"The production of light and shadow must be a high-quality product! Director Lin is still more disciplined than Wang Fatzi!"

"Everyone support good movies, stop watching bad movies like "Macau Fengyun 2" and "Where Are You Going, Dad"!"

“……”

In the atmosphere of rave reviews, the next day, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" soared directly to 140 million.

On the third day, there were still 130 million!

While the box office performance is more than stamina, the reputation is also very good.

Both major movie websites have ratings of more than eight points.

is probably because the audience has watched too many bad movies, so everyone's expectations for "Detective Chinatown" are not very high.

As a result, after watching "Detective Chinatown", I think it's really good, while the laughter is intensive, it can not make people feel that it is not intended to make you laugh, and the reasoning and suspense are also in place, at least the audience didn't understand until the last moment that the real murderer was someone else, respect the audience's IQ!

Under the backdrop of peers and the comparison of spicy chicken movies in the same period, the movie "Detective Chinatown" directed by Lin Xiaoguang completely exploded during the Spring Festival.

On the Internet, in reality, there are a bunch of movie tap water all of a sudden.

"A man who combines beauty and wisdom, Director Xiaoguang is really talented!"

"Lin Xiaoguang, the next movie master!"

……

In the face of the praise that came up like a tide, Lin Xiaoguang received it all.

This movie was originally his painstaking work, and the praise of netizens and the audience should of course be attributed to him.

As for the movie's strong star lineup, Huang Baoqiang, Dong Liya, Xiao Shenyang, Xiao Yang, etc., were selectively ignored by the audience!

Magic Station publicity, Lin Xiaoguang was interviewed by reporters.

When asked by a reporter whether "Detective Chinatown" has any hope of surpassing the old work "People in the Embarrassing Journey to Thailand", and competing with Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West" to compete for the first place in the history of domestic films at the box office.

Lin Xiaoguang said: "When I make movies, the first thing is the movie itself, and then the box office, as for whether I can break the box office record of "Journey to the West", I don't care at all. ”

"As long as the audience likes it!"

Although Lin Xiaoguang's words were suspected of pretending, they were basically what he thought.

However, then again, no one will be disgusted with too much money, and the same is true for Lin Xiaoguang. 8)
