Chapter 942 First Day Results (Part 2) (23)
The hidden plot of "Detective Chinatown" is actually easy to guess:
Dan, like Sinuo, has a perverted father who "loves" him. As they get older and become more physically mature, they feel uneasy.
So they devise a perfect criminal plan to help each other get rid of their father...
Sinuo and Dan initially exchanged killings, but after Sinuo used a trick to kill Songpa, he caught up with Tang Ren and Qin Feng to investigate, and went along with the flow, directly hiding Dan...
Of course, Shen Xudong will introduce the concept of organization in the second part - after Dan told Si Nuo about his violation by GAY's adoptive father, Si Nuo was determined to help Dan. With limited personal power, Sinuo found an organization to help...
As for Dan, he was absorbed by the organization and became a scavenger...
The organization appears in the second part, Q appears in the third part, and Q will be revealed in the fourth part to be the code name of the organization...
Perfect!
From the beginning, Shen Xudong knew that this matter would definitely be discussed!
Just like the original time and space "Tang Detective" was released, it set off a wave of heated discussions...
Speaking of which, Chen Sicheng is indeed suitable for directing commercial films!
Because he has the ability to examine.
There are not many directors who have both creative and critical skills!
Much like a creative director, he not only has creative ability, but also has the ability to judge creativity...
There is another type of director, the immersive type. Just create, don’t think about these things. The things I photographed - definitely things that I thought were really good. They are talented but non-judgmental and immersed in their own ideas.
Director Chen has a bit of this idea. Sometimes he can shoot well, and sometimes he shoots things that the audience finds very confusing...
Therefore, he must think that his work is not bad because the audience does not understand it. If you tell him that his filming is bad, he will be very angry. But it also shows that he really puts his heart into shooting and cares about his work...
There is another type that has the ability to examine but not much talent, such as Bi Zhifei ("Building Dreams in Showbiz") and Luoden ("The Dangerous Path to Bad Movies"). They are very theoretical, and their film reviews are so Call for a good one!
However, theory and aesthetics cannot replace creation, so Director Bi's "Dream Showbiz" was rated as "the worst".
Director Roden's "Bad Movie" is also known as "lifting the fig leaf of film critics"...
So can he tell that his filming is bad?
I think it is possible, but he may also lament that it is still too difficult to do in practice.
There are many of these types, such as film critics switching careers to make movies, cultural celebrities switching careers to make movies, etc.
The most common thing in the film and television industry is to make a living, have no creative talent, and know that your filming is bad, but your original intention is to fool the audience, defraud capital, defraud traffic, defraud box office...
This kind of people tend to get along very well!
For example, Zhang Yibai, the director of "Better and Better Village Wan" who is being scolded by Yang Xiaomi, is a typical example!
Oh, Yang Xiaomi came back with Father Shen and Mother Shen - I originally wanted to watch two movies, but I watched half of "Village Evening" and left directly. According to Yang Xiaomi's original words, 'If I stay any longer, I will I'm going to vomit! ’
Tsk tsk, it can make people vomit...
It’s also a skill!
However, there is actually no discussion on Weibo, and there are even very few people scolding...
This is quite unexpected.
And I checked the publicity situation, well, there is only one premiere situation, Zhang Yibai said, "I want to watch a "celebration" movie during the Chinese New Year!" ’
Then, no press release was issued from the cast including the production company...
All reject publicity?
Maybe they also know that this is a bad movie, after all, they want to lose face!
…
Countless people pay attention to Shen Xudong's every move!
Not to mention his basic movie fans, there are a lot of people in the film industry waiting for the release of "Tang Detective"...
When the trailer of "Tang Detective" was released, many self-media said that ""Tang Detective" will be Shen Xudong's Waterloo movie" - the trailer was cut too vulgarly!
The high-speed cutting of the camera shows scenes of exploding eggs and screaming, accompanied by Wang Baoqiang with big gold teeth and a greasy face, Wei Xiang with a fat head, Shen Teng with distorted facial features, plus Allen and Qiao Shan. …
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a big movie about shit, ass, piss and shit is coming out!
What?
Judging the quality of a movie based on its trailer alone?
As for the marketing account, the focus is on popularity, so let’s disparage it first. If it’s really a bad movie, it shows that you have foresight. If your judgment is wrong... at worst, you can apologize afterwards!
Just like the trailer of "The Wandering Earth", it looks like a bad movie no matter how you look at it - they are all living in the underground city, and the students are actually wearing school uniforms that were popular in the 1980s, chanting "Looking forward, looking forward, east wind" It's here, spring is approaching...'
But after the movie was released, it shocked a group of people!
"Tang Detective" is not a shock, after all, Shen Xudong's level is here.
Shi Hang directly praised on Weibo: "Shen Xudong is so smart. "Detective Chinatown" is a very typical combination of a resourceful boy + a reckless fool. One is responsible for solving puzzles, and the other is responsible for actions, and together they solve the complicated and confusing case.
From the perspective of the relationship between police and gangsters, this kind of film can only be shot abroad. There is no space in China. How can the police be so stupid? I immediately pressed this type..."
"In addition, "Detective Chinatown" also taught domestic genre film directors a lesson: suspense mystery films should be shot this way! Tell a solid story first, and then think about how to make it successful."
Zhou Liming also praised: "This movie is positioned as a hybrid film. It is released during the Spring Festival. It allows everyone to use their brains a little and laugh happily. It does not pursue any high-end genre classics. I have always believed that it can properly reflect the original intention and positioning of the creation in the end. This is good." There is no need to pursue every work to be epic!”
Even Wong Jing praised "Tang Detective" for its bright and warm yellow color, paired with floral shirts and red mosaics. The whole tone is like the worldliness and enthusiasm of old Hong Kong movies. Coupled with the exaggerated performances and tight rhythm, it perfectly captures the charm of Hong Kong movies of "everything is crazy and everything is excessive". ’
…
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Shen Xudong's family returned to Luzhou - anyway, there is a plane, which is really convenient!
After getting in the car, Father Shen said: "Tomorrow, let's go see your grandma together..."
"Okay," Shen Xudong nodded, and then sighed: "I don't want to go home..."
"Why? Dislike your grandma?"
"How can it be…"
Mother Shen interrupted: "Then why?"
Shen Xudong sighed: "When I was young, I always had a relative who was not married yet when I was in my twenties. I could only see him during the Chinese New Year... Now it's better, I have become that relative..."
After listening to Shen Xudong’s self-justification, Shen’s mother couldn’t help laughing...
Father Shen glared at her: "You still have the nerve to laugh, his aunt and grandma will definitely ask about marriage..."
"...What a big deal, you just say that the motherland has not yet been unified and I have no intention of getting married!"
"Why don't you say that you haven't taken back Riben Island yet, so you don't want to get married?"
"...There's no rush for this, it can be made into a basic national policy!"
Shen Xudong was talking nonsense when his cell phone rang. It was Chen Xi who called him. Then he answered the call. A surprised voice came from the other end of the phone: ""Tang Detective" sold 84 million on the first day... We have set a record!"
