Chapter 120: Superfluous? (3/3)
During the Spring Festival, movies don't need to run roadshows...
At least "Detective Chinatown" doesn't.
This is Shen Xudong's idea - after all, there is not much pressure of competition, if you choose to go to the theater, I believe 90% will choose "Detective Chinatown"...
Shen Xudong's name stands for quality.
At 7 o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Xudong was woken up by his mother and ate a dumpling, it was almost half past eight, and the family discussed where to watch a movie.
As he was talking, Shen Xudong's mobile phone rang, and after looking at it, it was a text message from Yang Xiaomi: 'Happy New Year, I'm going to give you New Year's greetings now, is it convenient?' ’
Convenient yarn!
Lao Tzu is ready to go to the movies...
Never mind... For the Chinese New Year, come if you want to...
replied, "Of course it's convenient, welcome...", and then said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, Yang Xiaomi will come over to pay New Year's greetings later, let's wait a while..."
"Yang Xiaomi... Does she like you? ”
"Your son is not a heartthrob..."Shen Xudong shook his head: "I am her boss, it is normal to come over for the New Year..."
"Where's your roommates?"
“… I asked. ”
Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone and sent a sentence directly in the group chat: "What's the arrangement..."
Zhao Linhai quickly replied, 'I'm going to see my relatives... What about you? ’
Zhao Xin replied, "I'm still in the crew... It is estimated that it will be finished in another month...'
Oh, the second child is staring at "Three Kingdoms: Origins", and he's very busy...
Liao Gaoxiang was the last to reply, and directly replied with a picture: four movie tickets, clearly written "Detective Chinatown" 9:02...
Well, this is the movie ticket for the first screening of "Tang Detective"!
There is also a text: I'm really bored, go to the movies with a few younger brothers... By the way, is there a bed scene in "Tang Detective"? Is it suitable for children?
Shen Xudong was speechless, and replied, "Spring Festival movie, do you think I will put a bed scene?" I paid special attention to the lines! ’
Zhao Linhai interjected: "I remember that there was a scene of Duan Baoqiang being newly married and being green? ”
That is, on the day of the wedding, Tang Ren was green, and his daughter-in-law and other men were in the house and he saw them on the spot...
"That's a bed scene, too?"
Liao Gaoxiang: "... You're so disgusting, you actually arranged such a plot, forget about the cabinet, it has to be cheating at the wedding scene..."
This is called a supplementary character, which makes people sympathize, "Forrest Gump" Jenny plays the guitar naked and sings in the bar, "The Condor Heroes" Xiaolongnu was ruined by Yin Zhiping, and "Initial D" Xia Shu went on a trip with her "father"... These are all complete character episodes! ”
"You..."
Zhao Xin interjected: "Xudong, you are awesome, the New Year, one sentence provoked three heartache memories that I can't forget for a long time, you are really hanging!" ”
"Haha... Don't talk about it..."
Put the phone in his pocket: "All three of them have something..."
Mother Shen suddenly remembered something: "That... Zhao Linhai is married, right? ”
"Well, he's got a baby!"
"Look, he's married!"
“… He and his wife have been together since college... No, didn't you say yesterday that you wouldn't rush it! ”
Shen's mother changed the subject: "... Yang Xiaomi will come over later, you can ask her if she has a boyfriend..."
Father Shen said: "People come to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year, they must have thoughts about you..."
Xudong couldn't stand it: "Of course it's the New Year's greetings, do you want to pick a Qingming New Year's greeting?" ”
"You damn child..."
……
Liao Gaoxiang did buy a movie ticket for "Tang Detective"...
His studio has also taken on several film productions - "The First Time", that is, his studio also has Anle Film and Television + Han Yan, a tripartite joint project...
How to say it, the film market is good... Hot money is pouring in!
It's really crazy!
"The First Time", an urban romance film, actually made the cost 60 million!
The premium is more than 200%...
That's it, a bunch of companies willing to take over ...
Therefore, Liao Gaoxiang went to watch "Tang Detective", in fact, with a scrutinizing attitude - "The First Time" was distributed by Anle Film and China Film, and Tianmei Media did not take over the distribution...
After all, it's the bureau of the Anle Film and Television Group!
In fact, he is not very optimistic about "Tang Detective" - the trailer, Wang Baoqiang is too noisy, with a sexy scum, wearing a big Buddha card, stepping on flip-flops, shining big gold teeth, using Nanyang Chinese mixed with the accent of Nanhe County Assembly Tower Village, XT City, HEB Province, extremely obscene, for fear that you think he is not vulgar enough...
Is it another "Thai Embarrassment"?
Arrived at the cinema, Golden Harvest Cinema - very close to home.
A little surprised - the whole theater was packed with people in line, many of them with their families...
After struggling to squeeze through the waiting area, Liao Gaoxiang suddenly thought, "It seems that the fourth child is right, the Spring Festival stalls are indeed a head!" ’
muttered, he lined up at the back of the line, and by the way, he looked at the electronic display of the film scheduling information, okay, it is worthy of Golden Harvest Cinema, eight screening halls, six of which are "Detective Chinatown", only one small hall is "Village Evening", and another hall screens "Cloud Atlas"...
'9:05's "Detective Chinatown" came here to check the tickets; ’
With the broadcast on the radio, Liao Gaoxiang followed the team into the screening room, and there were three children behind him, not children, teenagers, his three cousins, he also followed...
"Detective Chinatown" opens with a line of small print: One yin and one yang is the Tao, the next one is good, and the one who becomes is the nature - "Yi Chuan Dictionaries"
Liao Gaoxiang saw this line of words, and he had the feeling that the fourth child attached great importance to this play - obviously learning "Infernal Affairs"...
- He doesn't think Shen Xudong is pretending to be forced or anything, what he wants to engage in art is to pretend to be forced, if you don't pretend to be forced, how can you highlight your awesomeness?
directly entered the shooting, the beginning of the film is Qin Feng's failure to apply for the Criminal Police Academy, and then, his grandmother directly gave him a plane ticket: "If you can't pass the exam once, you will take the exam twice, go to Thailand for a week, and relax... When I arrived in Thailand, I made this call, but he was my cousin, your aunt's old cousin's daughter-in-law's nephew, your distant cousin, the famous Bangkok Chinatown No. 1 detective: Tang Ren! ”
The soundtrack of "The Past Can Only Be Recalled" sounded, and the opening jumped: Detective Chinatown...
Then Wang Baoqiang's face appeared, and his mouth was 'Time flies, never go back, the past can only be recalled...'
His performance felt hilarious...
In fact, the role of Tang Ren itself is a joke, that is, he needs to squeeze his eyebrows and make eyes, and put it in the role positioning, which is actually called a harlequin!
Harlequin, if you don't play it well, it will be magnified, and then it will be annoying...
Bao Qiang's acting is actually okay...
Pulling it back, the story of "Detective Chinatown" is very fluent, and under the shell of comedy, it is a very solid detective movie. There are secret room killings, ingenious design and meticulous reasoning, and even multiple reversals...
Qin Feng, a stammering teenager who failed to apply for the police academy, went to Bangkok to find his legendary cousin Tang Ren, who "mixed well in Thailand".
Tang Ren opened a third-rate private detective agency with the secret support of police detective Kun Tai, but Qin Feng found out that his cousin was actually a ruffian, so he looked down on him. After a series of quarrels, the two decide to spend a seven-day vacation peacefully, but on the way to the Grand Palace, they are inexplicably involved in a murder and theft of gold.
With the help of police detective Kun Tai and landlady Ah Xiang, they evaded the arrest of the Bangkok Police Station all the way, and after twists and turns, they locked the murderer on the adoptive father of the deceased son's female classmate, and found evidence to show their innocence!
This is just the most superficial reasoning...
In fact, this line is already very good: good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, black and white is clear, reasonable motives for killing, precise reasoning clues, smooth logical lines, if the story comes to an abrupt end here, everything is still perfect, and it can be called an excellent comedy-style reasoning movie.
But Shen Xudong was not satisfied, and overturned this line at the end of the film: Si Nuo is the manipulator behind the scenes!
After Liao Gaoxiang watched the movie, his first thought was, 'This movie is good!' Is the final reversal of the 'second thought' necessary? ’
After all, the final reversal is removed, and the story is valid...
Just take out your mobile phone and send a text message to ask Shen Xudong... Behind them, the three younger brothers are discussing who the murderer is...
The chapter is wrong, it should be one hundred and ninety-two chapters...
