Chapter 940 Is It Superfluous? (33)

During the Spring Festival, movies do not need to go on roadshows...

At least "Detective Chinatown" doesn't.

This is Shen Xudong's idea - after all, there is not much competition pressure. If you choose to go to the theater, I believe 90% of them will choose "Detective Chinatown"...

Shen Xudong's name represents quality.

Shen Xudong was woken up by his mother at 7 o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year and had a meal of dumplings. It was almost 8:30 and the family was discussing where to watch a movie.

While he was talking, Shen Xudong's cell phone rang. He looked at it and saw that it was a text message from Yang Xiaomi: 'Happy New Year. Is it convenient for me to go and give you New Year greetings now? ’

Convenient yarn!

I'm going to watch a movie...

Forget it... If you are celebrating the Chinese New Year, come if you want...

He replied, "Of course it's convenient, welcome..." and then said to his parents: "Dad, Mom, Yang Xiaomi will come over later to pay New Year greetings. Let's wait for a while..."

"Yang Xiaomi...does she like you?"

"Your son is not a heartthrob..." Shen Xudong shook his head: "I am her boss, so it is normal for me to come to visit during the New Year..."

"Where are your roommates?"

"…Let me ask."

Shen Xudong took out his mobile phone and directly posted in the group chat: "What are the arrangements..."

Zhao Linhai quickly replied, ‘I’m going to see relatives...what about you? ’

Zhao Xin replied, "I'm still on the crew...it will probably be completed in a month..."

Oh, the second child has to watch "Three Kingdoms: Origins" and is very busy...

Liao Gaoxiang was the last one to reply, and directly replied with a picture: four movie tickets, clearly written "Detective Chinatown" 9:02...

Well, here are the movie tickets for the first screening of "Tang Detective"!

There is also a text accompanying it: I am really bored, so I went to watch a movie with a few brothers... By the way, does "Tang Detective" have a sex scene? Is it suitable for children?

Shen Xudong was speechless and replied, 'In a Spring Festival movie, do you think I will show a sex scene? I paid special attention to the lines! ’

Zhao Linhai interjected: "I remember there was a scene where Duan Baoqiang was raped during his wedding?"

That is, on the wedding day, Tang Ren was cheated on, and he saw his wife and other men doing something in the house...

"Is that considered a sex scene?"

Liao Gaoxiang: "...You are so disgusting, you actually arranged such a plot, forget about the cabinet, it has to be an affair at the wedding..."

"This is called a supplementary character, which makes people sympathize. Jenny played the guitar and sang naked in the bar in "Forrest Gump", Xiao Longnu was raped by Yin Zhiping in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and Natsuki in "Initial D" Traveling with her "dad"...these are all scenes of a complete character!"

"you…"

Zhao Xin interjected: "Xudong, you are awesome. You are celebrating the Chinese New Year. One sentence brought up three heartbreaking memories that I can't forget for a long time. You are really stupid!"

"Haha... no more chatting..."

Putting the phone in his pocket: "All three of them are busy..."

Mother Shen suddenly remembered something: "Um... Zhao Linhai is married, right?"

"Well, he has children!"

"Look, he's already married!"

"...He and his wife have been together since they were in college...No, didn't we agree yesterday not to push her!"

Mother Shen changed the subject: "... Yang Xiaomi will come over later. Ask her if she has a boyfriend..."

Dad Shen said: "If you come here to pay your respects during the Chinese New Year, I must have thoughts about you..."

Xudong couldn't stand it anymore: "Of course I'm here to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year. Are we going to choose Qingming Festival to pay New Year's greetings?"

"You damn kid..."

…

Liao Gaoxiang did buy the movie ticket for "Tang Detective"...

His studio has also taken on several film productions - "The First Time", which is a joint project between his studio and Anle Film and Television + Han Yan...

How can I put it, the movie market is great...hot money is pouring in like crazy!

It's really crazy!

An urban romance film like "The First Time" actually cost 60 million!

The premium is over 200%…

That's it, a bunch of companies are willing to take over...

Therefore, Liao Gaoxiang went to see "Tang Detective" with a critical attitude - "The First Time" was distributed by Anle Film and Television and China Film, and Tianmei Media did not take over the distribution...

After all, it is the game of Anle Film and Television Group!

In fact, he is not very optimistic about "Tang Detective" - ​​in the trailer, Wang Baoqiang is too noisy, with sexy stubble, wearing a big Buddha amulet, wearing flip-flops, flashing big gold teeth, and using HEB mixed with The Nanyang Mandarin accent spoken by Tacun, the general assembly of Nanhe County, XT City, is extremely vulgar, for fear that you may think it is not vulgar enough...

Is it another "囧"?

We arrived at the cinema, Golden Harvest Cinema - very close to home.

I was a little surprised - the whole theater was packed with people queuing up, many of them bringing their families with them...

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 going strong! ’

After muttering, he followed the queue and took a look at the film schedule information on the electronic display. Well, it is indeed Jiahe Cinema. There are eight screening halls, six of which are "Detective Chinatown", and only one small hall is "Village Evening", and there is also a hall showing "Cloud Atlas"...

'The 9:05 episode of "Detective Chinatown" comes here to check in;'

As the radio announced, Liao Gaoxiang followed the team into the screening room. By the way, there were three children behind him. They were not children, they were teenagers, and his three cousins, he also followed...

A line of small print at the beginning of "Detective Chinatown": One yin and one yang are called Tao, what follows is good, and what is achieved is nature - "Yi Zhuan Ci"

When Liao Gaoxiang saw this line of writing, he felt like the fourth child attached great importance to this drama - he was obviously studying "Infernal Affairs"...

——He doesn’t think Shen Xudong is pretentious. What you need to do art is to be pretentious. If you don’t pretend to be pretentious, how can you highlight your awesomeness?

Directly into the filming, the opening scene is that Qin Feng failed to apply for the Criminal Police Academy, and then his grandmother directly gave him a plane ticket: "If you fail the exam once, you will take the exam twice and go to Thailand for a week to relax... When you arrive in Thailand, make this phone call , he is my cousin, the nephew of your aunt’s husband’s cousin’s daughter-in-law, your distant cousin, the famous No. 1 detective in Bangkok’s Chinatown: Tang Ren!”

The soundtrack of "The Past Can Only Be Reminisced" sounds, and the title jumps to: Detective Chinatown...

Then Wang Baoqiang's face appeared and he said, "Time passes and we can never look back on the past, we can only reminisce..."

His performance felt hilarious...

In fact, the role of Tang Ren itself is a joke, but it requires winking. In terms of role positioning, it is actually called a clown!

A clown, if not acted well, will become magnified and become annoying...

Bao Qiang's acting is actually pretty good...

Bringing it back, the story of "Detective Chinatown" is very smooth. Wrapped in a comedy shell, it is a very solid mystery detective movie. There are secret room killings, exquisite designs and meticulous reasoning, and even multiple reversals...

Qin Feng, a stuttering young man who failed to apply for the police academy, went to Bangkok to relax with his cousin Tang Ren, who was said to be "very successful in Thailand".

Tang Ren opened a third-rate private detective agency with the secret support of police detective Kuntai, but Qin Feng discovered that his cousin was actually a gangster, so he despised him. After a series of quarrels, the two decided to spend the seven-day holiday peacefully. However, on their way to the Grand Palace, they were inexplicably involved in a murder and gold theft case.

With the help of police detective Kuntai and landlady Axiang, they evaded arrest by the Bangkok Police Station. After many twists and turns, they locked the murderer on the adoptive father of the deceased's son's female classmate, and found evidence to prove his innocence!

This is just the most superficial reasoning...

In fact, this line is already very good: good will be rewarded with good, evil will be punished with evil, clear black and white, reasonable murder motive, precise reasoning clues, smooth logical lines. If the story stops here, everything will still be perfect, It can be called an excellent comedy-style mystery movie.

But Shen Xudong is not satisfied, and the end of the film overturns this line: Sinuo is the manipulator behind the scenes!

After watching the movie, Liao Gaoxiang's first thought was, 'This movie is good! ’ Second thought: ‘Is the final reversal necessary? ’

After all, even if you delete the final twist, the story would still be true...

He simply took out his cell phone and sent a text message to ask Shen Xudong... Behind him, the three brothers were discussing who the murderer was...

The chapter is wrong, it should be Chapter 192...
