Chapter 98 Box Office and Word of Mouth on the First Day (3/3)
In order to strengthen the comedy elements in the Spring Festival atmosphere, "Detective Chinatown 2" must strengthen the comedy elements...
It’s a family fun!
If you don’t add these funny scenes, tell a detective story honestly.
Think about it, the rogue Feng Shui master, the dull genius, the immigrant black household with the American dream, the girl hacker, all kinds of detectives gathered in New York because of a case with a very high reward. The serial murder case with Yin and Yang and Five Elements Feng Shui as the core was revealed step by step. The genius tempted on the edge of the law with wisdom. This is a wonderful enough story...
But no, during the Spring Festival, you have to consider the market!
Therefore, many people think that "Detective Chinatown 2" is a good movie, but it is not as stunning as the previous one.
So, its Douban score is 7.8, unlike the first one, which has 8.2 points...
But it has surpassed all the movies during the Spring Festival!
...
"Detective Chinatown 2" is very important!
In addition to continuing the style attributes and story rhythm of the "Detective Chinatown" series, it joined the "Detective Contest" as soon as it was launched, and there was also a "Detective Ranking".
The main story of the movie is actually not a "detective competition", but a serial murder case, so the opening paragraph is a "gimmick".
But the biggest effect of this part is to assume the function of information transmission and directly tell the audience that the "Detective Tang" is about to establish a movie universe.
The group drama melee triggered by the bounty competition is a classic story mode. The gathering of world-famous detectives means that the pattern is upgraded. New York, as the center of the universe, can attract more talents, and it is also in line with the background of the story.
Let me tell you the story. After receiving the invitation from Tang Ren, Qin Feng flew to New York. After entering the lobby, he quickly realized that it was wrong. According to the guest's outfit and actions, Qin Feng found that the wedding was just a scam. Tang Ren lied to him to solve the case.
In New York, a Chinese man was inexplicably dug out of his heart...
This is a serial murder incident!
The detective is still the brightest part of the whole movie. Killing in the secret room turns into serial killing. The case is confusing, the reasoning is broken, the details are all in line. Several seemingly flawed plots are cleverly designed with ulterior motives, with roundabouts, moderate tension and reversal.
The core logic of serial killing is driven by Feng Shui and the five elements.
This really continues the setting of "Double Pupils"!
Lu Xiaoran is the kind of director who is willing to bow to the market, although he still has a strong desire for self-expression. At the end of "Detective Chinatown 2", there are also discussions about gazing into the abyss. Quoting quotes from the existentialist philosophy master Nietzsche, it can be seen that his desire for artistic expression is emerging.
But "Detective Chinatown 2" is still a standard type of commercial film that meets the public's taste. It is neither too high nor too little, nor does it follow the trend...
After watching the movie, the family of four was quite satisfied. They found a small restaurant nearby and took two bites.
Lu Xiaoran is posting on Weibo:
The difference between "Detective Chinatown 2" and "Detective Chinatown 1" is the first of all, the reasoning genre, and socialist reasoning replaces the original reasoning, which is more in line with the overall environment of the integration of case and the American multi-private culture;
Secondly, I can’t give you a thriller film on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so the comedy part is very necessary;
There is also the need for the ‘detective contest’ that many people say… I deny this because it is related to the subsequent Chinatown movie universe…
The "multiple negation" used in "Detective Chinatown 2" is also a common plot setting in detective stories. The overall story inspiration comes from "Astrology and Murder Magic". The screenwriter is Su Zhaobin, who I like very much. He has a horror thriller called "Double Eyes". You can watch it and don't call me intentionally scary after watching it!
Teacher Su Zhaobin and Shimada Soji are both screenwriters and creative assistants of "Detective Chinatown 2"!
Finally, the most important thing in the "Detective Chinatown" series discusses the three issues of nature, namely human nature, animal nature and divinity. These three natures are concentrated on the protagonist Qin Feng. So, let me spoil the little bit of a spoiler how Qin Feng will perform his perfect crime?
...
Don’t think he has written so much, it’s just to tell everyone: “Detective Chinatown 2” has not been plagiarized, and I have found two original teachers to support me!
As expected, there were many voices on the Internet questioning the plagiarism of "Detective Chinatown 2"...
Now that the screenwriter of "Shuang Eyes" has been brought out, how can you question it?
However, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office of "Detective Chinatown 2" still lost to "Monster Hunt 2", the latter won 540 million yuan in a single day, while the former "only" 490 million yuan...
Both broke the single-day box office record of 446 million Chinese-language films maintained by "Wolf Warrior 2", and the single-day box office record of "Fast and Furious 8" and the first-day box office record of 487 million Chinese film history.
"Detective Chinatown 2" lost to "Monster Hunt 2" on the first day, which is understandable. The pre-sale of "Monster Hunt 2" is as high as 330 million...
The pre-sale of "Detective Chinatown 2" is only 240 million...
This year, the ticket purchases are restricted, and many movies have put their efforts into publicity, marketing and review control...
There is nothing to do with it. You can see from the attendance rate that the attendance rate of "Detective Chinatown 2" is close to 80%, while the "Monster Hunt 2" is 70%...
"Detective Chinatown 2" lasted 120 minutes, so I gave the first-day schedule of 110,000 games. "Monster Hunt 2" lasted 110 minutes, and gave the 130,000 schedule of 130,000 games...
As for "The Kingdom of Women", the box office on the first day was 130 million...
"The Bears" is 77 million, the remaining "The Nineteen Generations of Ancestors" has a box office of 17 million on the first day, and Feng Gong's "Happiness Comes Now" is 23 million on the first day...
The total box office on the first day was 1.2 billion yuan, converted into USD: 169 million USD, setting a new record for the world's film and television market...
Douban rating rankings: "Detective Chinatown 2", "Bears in the Haunted", "Happiness Comes Now", "Nineteen Generations of Ancestors", "Monster Hunt 2", "Journey to the West: The Kingdom of the Daughter"…
That’s right, the bottom player is "Journey to the West: The Kingdom of Women"!
The publisher of "Monster Hunt 2" must have hired the Shui Armistice Review. Of course, it is also possible that Chun Ge's fans should spontaneously maintain it. Otherwise, there would be no remarks like "Chunchun is so cute" and "Chunchun is the biggest surprise"...
More of it is ‘Huba is so cute’…
Where is Huba cute?
"Monster Hunt 2" treats himself as a super-old family filming. The story is too simple and too dull...
It is even directly defined as: "Ferryman 2"...
"Ferryman 2" is a bit too much...
Of course, these are not as good as the next door "The Kingdom of Women", and Zhao Liying was directly ridiculed by the crowd...
In itself, the competition among traffic actresses is particularly fierce. When they were promoted, they all praised the "king is the most beautiful" and "Gong Houying Emperor". Now the quality of the movie is not good. Of course, those who are responsible for the promotion will be ridiculed by the crowd...
Wearing a crown must bear the weight!
This year's Spring Festival period, from the word of mouth, I'm afraid it will be the leader of "Detective Chinatown 2" again!
Chapter completed!
