Suspense and reasoning are considered relatively mature genres in the North American market.

There is a fixed group of fans!

Therefore, "The Murder of Orient Express" released last month has a bad reputation and still won a box office of US$106 million...

In addition, the box office of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" is more than 100 million US dollars...

Among them, "Detective Sherlock Holmes" won more than $100 million in box office when "Avatar" was raging...

It's been almost seven years between them!

Why are there no new suspense, mystery films?

Because it is difficult to play with new tricks, and it is really not profitable!

It's better to make a B-grade cult tablet to show off your plasma...

This year, George Clooney was directed by the Mysterious Town Crime, and the Coen Brothers were screenwriters. The starring found Matt Damon of the Boston Gang. His reputation was shattered and his box office was not worth $6 million...

It's a terrible sight!

Therefore, even if there are interested audiences, the movies are not as good as garbage...

Is "Knife Out" trash?

Obviously not!

This is a very good movie.

Generally speaking, detective films that use brain-burning and reversal as selling points are easy to make a fool of themselves, treat the narrative as a selling point, and then make the audience dizzy.

There is no such problem in "Knife Unsheathed"!

The pace of the film is very accurate. Lu Xiaoran has no show of skills, just tells a story simply, so there is no such fast high-speed editing that makes people breathless, and it can keep the audience interested at all times.

The story is told in detail and appropriately, not long-windedly, but also explains the characters and plots clearly.

The beginning of the big paragraph introducing family members first let them talk to themselves, and then immediately make a shot to make other family members refute their words, quickly showing a bunch of filial sons and grandchildren who are different from each other;

There is also the master, the old man, the best-selling crime writer, and the victim Harlan Slobby at the center of all this relationship.

Harlan's death was treated as suicide...

Of course, according to common sense inference, if it is really that simple, how can we make a movie?

In addition to this family, other important roles include detective Blank, the young nurse Marta who takes care of Mr. Harlan, the Asian female housekeeper Fran, and two stupid policemen who make jokes.

As a mystery film, the detective is actually responsible for guiding the audience to solve puzzles.

How to control the difficulty of this puzzle determines the view of this video.

This film presents every clue to the audience. It does not have the reasoning of flying fairy outside the sky, and it does a good job of fairness...

If you see this film as a detective, the trick is well designed, of course it is far inferior to the works in the Golden Age of Reasoning...

What the audience is satisfied with is that the film keeps pace with the times and scolds the American political correctness:

For example, the Slombian family talked about immigration condescendingly, but no matter which side, they had never even got the nationality of the immigrant nurse in the film right;

For example, the liberal granddaughter, whenever he was involved in a dispute over inheritance, immediately betrayed the immigration status of the young nurse to allow his family to threaten him.

…

These things can only be tried out - after all, Lao Lu is Chinese.

At the end of the movie, applause rang out in the screening room.

...

"The Knife Out" has unlocked its reputation, and it has been previewed for about five days, Rotten Tomatoes 98%, mtc 88 points, and box raised the film's predicted box office from the initial $80 million to $155 million...

ign comment: "This film is completely comparable to Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle's detective films, and the truth cannot be guessed in less than the last second";

The Los Angeles Times said: "Many critics compare this film to one of the best detective movies of all time."

Variety Show magazine: "There are many twists in the movie, but the most surprising thing is that the director made a comedy story with a sufficient sense of comedy."

Many viewers come here to see them.

Media interview unit:

The interview questions of American reporters are also the same, such as 'What was the original idea? Why are you interested in this subject?'

"I grew up watching Agatha Christie's book; it's a genre I really like. I've always wanted to make a Detective Suspense movie."

"Hitchcock talked about his views on detective movies, and he always said that they rely entirely on surprises - the last big surprise - which is the weakness of their narrative. I always think that a good suspense movie should keep the audience thinking all the time, but not let them feel frustrated..."

"The final surprise can be understood as the final climax..."

There are also different things. These people will catch the sarcastic meaning inside and ask Lu Xiaoran if he did it on purpose...

"Don't over-interpret it, it's just a movie!"

"What do you think about the American system?"

“…I don’t have any opinions, I don’t know much about the United States…”

"Director, will there be a sequel?"

"It depends on the market situation, but I guess there will be a sequel."

"Will the sequel still work with Daniel Craig?"

“Definitely…”

...

The situation on Lu Xiaoran's side is quite smooth. "The Knife Out" has a surprisingly good reputation and is also very good at previews.

The main promotion and promotion are very good!

The person responsible for the promotion is orange manufacturing, which cost $15 million in two weeks, with various hard promotions, and full coverage of online and offline!

However, the promotion methods of the United States are quite stiff - they actually buy TV commercials...

And it’s a big price, not only to buy "Knife Out", but "Star Wars 8" spent $40 million to buy TV commercials in one weekend!

In China, "Operation Red Sea" has completed the transformation of "reputation masterpiece" - "phenomenon film" after a weekend of preparation...

It won a box office of 680 million in the first weekend, and on the first working day, the box office of a single day remained at 210 million...

Five days after its release, the box office exceeded one billion.

This is the box office curve that only "Wolf Warrior 2" has!

Another phenomenal movie was born - Orange Ticketing gave a total box office forecast of 4.2 billion.

The industry is panicked!

This is the New Year holiday!

Although "Dream Search" was released during the release of "Operation Red Sea", the box office in a single day was still stable at 70 million - was it a movie produced by Pixar or an animation!

Six new films were released the following weekend and were trembling.

Especially "The Huge Call" - the other five films are all films, "Sea of ​​Shark", "The Most Beloved Van Gogh: The Mystery of the Starry Sky", "Paddington Bear" and the American moderator-themed film "Brave Forward"...

The 28-eight effect in China's film market is very obvious, and the winners take all!

Once the phenomenon-level movies are raging, they cannot be stopped at all.

Six movies that are not reserved on the weekend, as well as the third weekend's "Youth" and "Qimen Dunjia"...

Think about the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", and the next month, it was full of corpses!

What to do now?

Either withdraw the file or find a way to discredit it!

"Operation Red Sea" is a movie blessed by the Navy. How do you discredit it?

It just happened to be online, to be precise, on Douban, a small group of people were stepping on "Wolf Warrior" in various ways...

They think this topic can lead to a wave of challenges...
