"Is "Detective Chinatown" carrying "Transformers 4" a bad move? Let's talk about what do you think the former can have at the box office of the latter? ”

Until the moment when "Detective Chinatown" was officially released, netizens were still arguing about it, Douban, Maoyan, Tieba, Weibo, Hupu, in all corners of the Internet, netizens were tired of discussing it.

Wang Qihang is a freshman, and at the same time he is also a fan of Li Mu, not the kind of extreme fan who is brainless in the fan circle, he appreciates and admires Li Mu, but he simply thinks that Li Mu is too powerful.

Steven Spielberg, who is a god-like existence in the film industry, was unexpectedly surpassed by Li Mu at the total box office? !

Oscar actress, actor, best director, best picture, this kind of award can also be won?

Science fiction movies have always been the big shortcomings of Chinese films, but as a result, "Gravity" and "Avatar" set off a global 3D movie storm together? Even the release of "Gravity" was before "Avatar".

Before Li Mu, no one could have imagined that in just a few years, Huaxia films would develop to such a point, more precisely, no one could have imagined that Li Mu would be able to develop to such a point.

Therefore, if there are unfriendly posts on the Internet that are not friendly to Li Mu and Hua Shang, he Wang Qihang will definitely help the field!

However, the trouble is that he is not a brainless fan!

Brainless fans can support idols brainlessly, but they can turn black and white to confuse right and wrong, and they can splash and roll without a bottom line, but he can't do the same as a rational fan, otherwise what a loss?

So back to the question just now, is Huashang's new film "Detective Chinatown" meeting "Transformers 4" and not rescheduling?

He can't bear his conscience to echo those who say that "Detective Chinatown" is able to beat "Transformers 4", and at the same time, he can't get used to what some netizens say about Hua Shang This time is a stinky chess move.

As a rational fan of Li Mu, he will give his pertinent evaluation as much as possible:

"If you just look at the box office, it's better to change gears than not to change gears. Without changing gears, 48% of the film schedule is already the limit, after all, the film schedule of "Transformers 4" is only 50%.

"But if you change the file, with the strength and connections of Huashang Media, 78% of the scheduled films will be easy, and the same film, 48% of the scheduled films are unlikely to sell more than 78% of the scheduled films, so if you only look at the box office, yes, this time Huashang's decision not to change the file may indeed be irrational."

As soon as this reply came out, the onlookers were immediately happy.

"Yo, who is this person? It turned out to be sailing! What do you think I'm talking about? Now even the hardcore Li Mu fans feel that Huashang's operation is irrational! ”

"Is the Transformers series awesome? That has to be awesome! But isn't it invincible? Certainly not! At least Li Mu's own sci-fi blockbuster can not be scared of it at all. But, who are you, Chen Sicheng? How much did this guy's last movie gross? 630 million?! and "Transformers 4" is not at the same level at all, and I don't mean that Huashang is not awesome, but against "Transformers 4", even if you Huashang can't make Li Mu, at least you have to shoot Director Shen Junsheng of "Thai Embarrassment" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", right? ”

"Not to mention "Transformers" itself, there is another one, "Transformers 4" is already the fourth part of this series. Did the popularity of the first three parts accumulate in vain? How much box office is "People in Embarrassment 1"? How much box office does "Thai Embarrassment" and "Non-Embarrassment" have? That's the advantage of a sequel! This time, if "People in Embarrassment 4" vs. "Transformers 4", it will be a bit interesting, but I don't know where Hua Shang and Chen Sicheng got the courage this time, and they actually used "Detective Chinatown" against "Transformers 4", it is estimated that they will be abused and cry! ”

"Don't look at the two movies, the film schedule is not too much, but I estimate that in the end, "Detective Chinatown" can have half of the box office of "Transformers 4", so it is not too embarrassing!"

Seeing these comments from the above netizens, Wang Qihang sighed secretly. To tell the truth, he was angry at first glance at the above remarks, but he had to admit that what these people said actually had some truth.

Next, there are several good deeds in the comment area @王起航.

"@扬帆起航, you haven't guessed how much box office "Detective Chinatown" can get this time!"

"@扬帆起航, let's talk about it, Mark, and I'll look back in a few days."

Looking at those Aite's own IDs, although Wang Qihang didn't want to guess at all, he finally wrote down his true thoughts at the moment with a little aggrievedness:

"If you just look at the final box office, yes, it is indeed better to change the file than not to change the file, but please don't forget, Li Mu is now the world's No. 1 box office director, what kind of company is Huashang Media? It is the Hollywood blockbuster that almost single-handedly carried the entire Hollywood great film company in the context of the world's conquering cities.

"So who is the director of Transformers 4?

"Michael Bay?

Although he is also a world-class director, there is still a certain gap compared with Li Mu.

"The decision not to change the file of "Detective Chinatown" cannot only be counted as a box office account, but also depends on the improvement of the mood of the entire Chinese film by this decision, which is priceless. As for the final box office of the film, with the investment scale of "Detective Chinatown", it can be considered a success if it can take 70% of "Transformers 4", although it is still glorious! ”

However, apparently, many netizens do not agree with the so-called promotion of the heart, and these people replied:

"Yo, why is it only seventy percent, this is a script written by Li Mu himself, it seems that Li Mufan is not confident in "Detective Chinatown" this time!"

"If you can really pull out your teeth in the tiger's mouth of "Transformers 4", it will indeed improve your spirit, if you are abused to death, well, even Huashang Media will be abused, are you sure it is not the opposite effect?"

""Detective Chinatown" seems to be following the comedy path of "Thai Embarrassment", but with the addition of "detective" elements, comedy is afraid of stuffing too many things into it, funny is pure funny, the more things you want, the greater the chance of getting an egg in the end! , in short, I am not optimistic about directors Hua Shang and Chen Sicheng this time. ”

For a while, Wang Qihang was speechless.

On the morning of June 17th, Wang Qihang came to the Wanda Cinema in Beijing early, and after his careful observation, he concluded that at least more than sixty percent of the audience passing by him were talking about "Transformers 4", many of which were all men and women of all ages in the family, which was roughly in line with the Maoyan pre-sale box office, according to the Maoyan box office data, as of the early hours of yesterday, the pre-sale box office of "Transformers 4" had reached a total of 160 million yuan, while "Detective Chinatown" was only about 110 million.

The pre-sale of "Detective Chinatown" is not as good as that of "Transformers 4"!

The situation seems to be very unoptimistic, and it seems that most Chinese fans are still a little more interested in "Transformers 4".

In addition, some statements on the Internet have always worried him, especially the remarks that "Detective Chinatown" will be bad in the future because it will be too much, maybe what they said also has a certain truth, yes, it is necessary to have a comedic effect, but also to flaunt suspense, and to praise the action.

Years of experience in watching movies tell Wang Qihang that if a movie wants to express too many things, it often can't express anything well.

Finally started to check the tickets, Wang Qihang and everyone went to the address of the screening hall written on the ticket.

After finding a seat, I sat down for a while, and soon the movie officially began.

"Classmate Qin Feng, why do you want to apply for the Criminal Police Academy."

At the beginning of the movie, it was the scene of Qin Feng played by Liu Haoran being interviewed by the criminal police, the interview failed, and his family persuaded him to go to Thailand to relax, which led to his distant cousin - Tang Ren, known as the first detective in Chinatown!

As the plot progresses, some basic information about the film, such as producers, producers, planners, and starring actors, began to appear on the big screen one after another, and then the big screen went black, this time two lines of small words appeared on the big screen, and a few not very big cheers suddenly sounded in the theater:

"Screenwriter"

"Li Mu"

Two lines, four words, let many people have the least confidence in the basic quality of the film.

At the beginning of the movie, Superintendent Huang Rendeng played by Chen Brown is investigating a gold theft case, and he takes the police into a Buddha statue workshop to arrest him, but he does not expect that one of the suspects, Songpa, was killed in the workshop by hitting the back of the head with a demon pestle.

The owner of the stolen gold is very big, and the director put down his words, whoever can solve this case will be the future deputy director.

Huang Rendeng also has a competitor - Superintendent Kuntai played by Xiao Yang, the two are incompatible in order to compete for the position of deputy director, and Kuntai played by Xiao Yang is still the backer of Huang Ren played by Bao Qiang in Thailand.

The beginning of the film is not very amazing, but the advantage is that the characters are very vivid and three-dimensional, especially Tang Ren played by Bao Qiang, who almost completely broke the audience's previous perception of him, giving people a strong sense of freshness, Qin Feng's stammering, as well as Chen Brown with his own laughter, and Xiao Yang, who was full of unexpected laughter, everything seems to tell the audience - this will be a very good comedy movie.

As for the word "detective" in the title, to tell the truth, the vast majority of audiences who walked into the theater never thought that they would be able to see a suspenseful detective movie of such a high standard today.

"Just be able to make me laugh, as for suspense and detectives, who doesn't know it's a gimmick?!"

These are basically the truest thoughts in the hearts of the vast majority of the audience in the screening hall.

The film continues.

In Thailand, Qin Feng finally met his distant cousin, Chinatown's No. 1 detective, Tang Ren!

It's just that I didn't expect this so-called No. 1 detective in Chinatown to be a complete straw bag, and the so-called big and important cases handled by himself in his mouth, in which the investigation of missing persons is actually to find lost cats and dogs for the neighbor's wife, and he even bought a cat in a pet store to fool the old lady.

The so-called tracking of suspects is actually to arrest the junior, and to deliver important items is to deliver couriers.

Qin Feng felt that his cousin was too low, and he wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Tang Ren to be accidentally involved in the two cases of Songpa's murder and the theft of gold.

By the way, Tang Ren peeked at Ah Xiang taking a bath, and after being caught, he turned his face and blamed his nephew Tang Ren, and said righteously: "You are young and don't learn well, how can you learn this kind of thing?" ”

Qin Feng stammered: "I'm ...... I'm ......."

Tang Ren: "Nothing? Didn't see enough, did you? This time people poured hot water, and next time they poured sulfuric acid! ”

Funny lines, awesome accent, looking at Bao Qiang's serious appearance, the theater burst into laughter!

What's even more interesting is that when Ah Xiang asked Tang Ren who Qin Feng was, Tang Ren opened his mouth and came to his cousin, let alone Qin Feng, the audience was stunned.

Wang Qihang finally couldn't hold back his laughter, and then he had the heart to look around, but he heard someone whisper:

"Cousin? Hahaha! Bao Qiang's role this time is absolutely amazing! ”

"I feel that Huashang has become this wave again, I said that this movie has the potential of the 'embarrassment' series, do you believe it?"

"Embarrassment? Is it so awesome? ”

"How did Bao Qiang play Tang Ren so obscene but not annoying?" Do you know who this man is? Also shamelessly peeked at by you! 'Haha, I've never seen such a scoundrel and engaging role, Baoqiang's acting skills are awesome! ”

"How did Bao Qiang have the courage to come to Liu Haoran's side and say that the two of them looked the same handsome? Hahaha, I feel like it's a good laugh! ”

As the plot deepens, a mysterious person suddenly reports to Tang Ren, saying that he was involved in the murder of Songpa, and now the police are coming to arrest him, and then the part of the film that the Chinatown detectives are investigating is officially launched.

"How can this scene of running away from the street have the feeling of Uncle Cheng Longlong?"

"Hahaha, Zeng Xiaoxian's fall and touch his nose is too funny - no, this is a tribute to the 1974 "Chinatown" starring Jack Nicholson?"

Wang Qihang has some accumulation of movies, so he can see many tributes that the audience doesn't know, and others don't know that they know, which is very refreshing, which makes his evaluation of the film further improved.

"Tang Ren is obviously not the murderer, but now almost all the evidence points to him as the murderer - is this a tribute to Yugo Aosaki's "Murder in the Gym"? At the beginning of both works, there is a 'murderer' with conclusive evidence, but the former is a female high school student, and here is the lewd uncle Tang Ren! ”

Wang Qihang became excited, in fact, he has always been very interested in suspense films, but unfortunately there are few suspense works in China that can reach the qualified level, he was originally completely hopeless about the suspense content of this film, but now it seems that at least Li Mu spent a lot of thought when writing this suspense script.

"I don't know if there will be some unexpected surprises!"

Wang Qihang sat up straight unconsciously.

The Songpa murder case is a typical case of murder in a closed room.

The workshop where Songpa works, there are a total of four monitors, and the content is automatically covered for a week, except for Tang Ren in the monitoring, there is indeed no third person entering, and Tang Ren's fingerprints are still left everywhere on the murder weapon demon pestle.

The reason why Tang Ren went to the Buddha statue workshop, according to Bao Qiang, was that he was commissioned by the deceased Songpa to go to the workshop to transport a Buddha statue to a van in the parking lot of the building.

Tang Ren and Qin Feng infiltrated the scene of the crime, and there was a detail, the workshop obviously had electric lighting equipment, but there were traces of burning candles on the table where Songpa worked.

And the camera that Songpa often uses, the memory card is gone.

Another detail is that the room of Songpa's dead son was apparently uninhabited for a long time, but there were fresh footprints under the bed.

So the question is, who is the murderer?

How did he avoid the surveillance and infiltrate the Buddha statue workshop to kill people, and how did he avoid the surveillance and escape the scene?

Don't...... The person was really killed by Tang Ren?

No way!

So how did the murderer do it?

Wang Qihang was already completely excited, he couldn't have imagined that Li Mu would even make up a hard-core Benge school reasoning script!

The basic principles of Bengeist reasoning: fairness and rational logic.

In other words, the reader has the same clues as the true detective, and the reader can immerse himself in the real situation and explore the truth behind the case with the true detective.

Bengoist mystery writers such as Eller Lee Quinn will even openly challenge their readers, claiming that they have enough information to get to the bottom of the truth to see if anyone can solve the mystery first.

Following the protagonist to explore the truth is the greatest joy of Benge's reasoning.

Wang Qihang really didn't expect it, he just wanted to watch a comedy movie with the upper limit and the "embarrassment" series, but the two directors, Li Mu and Chen Sicheng, joined forces to give him an authentic mystery feast!

Surprise!

Or even - frightened!

"Evade surveillance...... The content is automatically overwritten for seven days...... Could it be said? ”

At this time, Wang Qihang suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and in an instant, it seemed that the blood in his whole body was boiling:

"Could it be...... Is that so? ”

"It's still not right, if that's the case, then where has he been hiding for the past seven days?"

At the same time, the audience in the theater has completely fallen into wave after wave of hilarity.

That's right, "Detective Chinatown" not only has hardcore reasoning that makes Wang Qihang's scalp tingle, but also high-energy jokes that make the vast majority of viewers unable to hold back laughter even if they want to shut up, and even hold back internal injuries.

Especially when the film is played in the twenty-third minute, Superintendent Kuntai, Tang Ren played by Xiao Yang, before Superintendent Huang Rendeng played by Chen Brown pointed out that Tang Ren was a murder suspect, he said righteously:

"What do you mean? You're going to arrest people on my territory without saying hello, and you're going to arrest my people?! ”

"Who in the whole Chinatown doesn't know that Tang Ren is my Kuntai Ma Tsai?"

After seeing that the evidence of Tang Ren's "murder" was conclusive, Kuntai immediately changed to another face:

"Here I want to state that I have nothing to do with this Tang Ren!"

And after Huang Rendeng pointed out that Kuntai had just said that Tang Ren was his vest, and Tang Ren's detective agency also had his shares, Kuntai's performance directly made the entire theater laugh:

"I warn you not to talk nonsense, I sue you for slander (slander), do you know?"

"He slandered me!"

In an instant, the vast majority of the audience in the theater laughed.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Xiao Yang's comedy talent to be so awesome."

"The lines are okay, the key is the accent: 'He's ruining me, he's ruining me!' Slander? Destroy the stick? God, you're just laughing at me! ”

"Hahaha...... No, no, no, what should I do if my cheeks hurt when I laugh?! ”

However, a wave of unsettled waves arose, and then Tang Ren's phone was directly on Kuntai's mobile phone - in full view of the entire police station.

"Brother Kun, you ......"

"What are you, you dare to kill someone, I will limit you to come to the police station within six hours to turn yourself in!"

"I ......"

"What am I? You must not think about running away, you must not think about leaving Thailand on a smuggling boat, and then transfer to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, don't let me see you, you let me see you and I will kill you in minutes! ”

in the screening hall.

The audience was stunned for a moment, and then immediately burst into laughter that was even stronger than just now:

"Hahaha...... Is this TM persuaded to turn himself in? ”

"Awesome, don't say that this boss is worth his life!"

"The group of policemen just now were stupid, and they persuaded themselves to turn themselves in? Awesome! ”

As a result, Kuntai played by Xiao Yang said righteously: "I don't share the sky with sin!" ”

This time, many people just burst out laughing.

"No, no, no, my stomach hurts, don't laugh and roll up!"

"This script was written by Li Mu? I can only say that this is too TM talented, and it is a fight with "Thai Embarrassment"! ”

"A rare excellent comedy movie!"
