Chapter 418 'Detective' is released, Fengshen's gun-changing ending
"This year's National Day movie schedule has fierce competition. Who will be the final winner?"
"The only suspense film on the National Day schedule, with a script written by Xu Ji himself, "Detective" should be released as soon as possible. I am looking forward to it so much!"
"Although I wasn't interested in gift films before, on a day like National Day, and because it's directed by Zang Sheng, I think I can give it a try."
""Operation Red Sea" has created a new height for gift films. Zang Sheng, who is ranked far above him, can reach new heights..."
......
On the last day of September, although the National Day holiday has not yet officially arrived, the competition in the National Day movie market has already begun to ferment.
Just the reports from various entertainment media are almost all about National Day movies.
This situation is actually not surprising.
After all, during this period, many TV dramas would not choose to be broadcast online.
Apart from official parties, there are no other large-scale parties in the entertainment industry.
During the short and long holidays, many people will choose to travel.
Even if they don’t travel, most of them won’t stay at home all the time.
The number of people visiting entertainment venues such as theaters has more than doubled, and the number of moviegoers is the highest during any time except the Spring Festival.
But it’s different from the media that cares about competition in the film market.
For many ordinary viewers, it is actually more important to watch movies that interest them.
And whether this film is to your liking.
......
Finally, the Chinese long holiday that everyone has been looking forward to has arrived.
In fact, for a freelancer like Sang Shaolong, the feeling of various holidays is not very deep.
In other words, when the holidays come and everyone else is taking a break, he needs to work twice as hard.
For example, Sang Shaolong, the up owner of the film and television area, has a very heavy video task throughout the National Day holiday.
It’s not just necessary to watch a few National Day movies.
The follow-up goal is that the video needs to be updated at least three times.
In addition to his requirements for the quality of his videos, the workload is still quite heavy.
Of course, although I am busy during the National Day, my time is quite free during normal times.
You can still rest in the future. After so many years, Sang Shaolong has already gotten used to it.
......
Movies released during National Day are almost all released at the same time.
Sang Shaolong originally planned to buy tickets for "Detective". After all, this movie is the one he is most looking forward to.
However, because the movie schedule for "Detective" in the theater near his home was so poor, all the tickets were sold out, and he still couldn't see the premiere.
Then the first movie was replaced by a tribute film by the same top-tier director Zang Sheng.
It lasted more than two hours in total, which is not strictly speaking a long time.
But the impression given to Sang Shaolong was not good.
It’s really just the extra parts that make Sang Shaolong feel a bit useless.
It should be more streamlined, and Zang Sheng’s gift film would have a slightly higher evaluation in his mind.
Now, he personally feels that it is a normal level of seven to eight points.
Sang Shaolong also saw why this gift film felt so awkward
The whole movie is equivalent to telling what happened to a veteran after he retired from the army.
And even though the war has ended for so many years, the male protagonist, as a soldier, still has not been able to get over the battle that year.
It is divided into two lines at the same time, one is the line after retirement, and the other is the veteran's memoirs of the war at that time.
Zang Sheng's ambition is too great, but the flaws in the script are very obvious.
If you choose one of the two lines separately, as long as it is photographed well, the effect will actually be very good.
But Zang Sheng chose the way that I wanted them all.
As a result, both lines occupied a large amount of space, but neither achieved the effect Sang Shaolong expected.
Sang Shaolong can also roughly guess the reason for doing this.
It is estimated that the other party plans to make a well-received and well-received movie.
While getting high box office, you can also have profound content.
It's a pity that Zang Sheng's performance is obviously not as good as the previous "Operation Red Sea".
In fact, Sang Shaolong thinks Xu Ji is very smart. "Operation Red Sea" focuses on the evacuation mission blocked by the story.
But through various details, the group portraits inside are revealed.
It won’t make people think that the soldiers of the Jiaolong Special Forces are all emotionless machines, but they are human beings of flesh and blood.
If Zang Sheng had just filmed the experiences of veterans after they retired, it would have been a pretty good literary film.
It's just that there is a lack of war scenes that can arouse the audience's interest.
It seems a bit dull and the atmosphere is heavy.
If we just shoot the war of that year alone, the story of that year seems to be a bit lacking in new ideas and not profound enough.
To sum up, it’s still a matter of script.
Screenwriters are indeed very important.
Zang Sheng usually doesn't write the scripts himself when filming. Instead, he invites the screenwriter to write the story first, and then he makes changes according to his own requirements.
......
Sang Shaolong is still a little disappointed with this gift film from Zang Sheng.
Although he saw that Zang Sheng made this movie with full sincerity, he could only say that the impression it gave him was far inferior to the previous "Operation Red Sea".
There are actually quite a few tear-jerking plots throughout the movie, but they all seem a bit deliberate. Sang Shaolong even guessed the direction of the subsequent story as early as the beginning.
Although he is a very emotional and empathetic person, he still sheds tears after watching so many movies and stories.
So after watching the whole movie, except for a certain part that made his eyes slightly moist, he was pretty calm most of the time.
It's not like when I first watched "Operation Red Sea", the war scenes in the front were still crazy enough to stimulate adrenaline, but Xu Ji suddenly got a knife in the back.
Coupled with the small foreshadowing Xu Ji laid in the front, for a detail-oriented person like Sang Shaolong, it is really equivalent to a tear-jerking effect like a magnifying move.

In the scene where Tong Li feeds rocks and sweets, Sang Shaolong was stabbed so hard that he burst into tears in the theater.
All I can say is that although they are both gift films, even the themes are still the same.
But there are also differences between the gift films.
After watching Zang Sheng's film, Sang Shaolong went on to watch the official director Ruan Zhong's tribute film.
What surprised him was that the movie was completely different from the feeling he had when he saw the trailer.
When the trailer was first released, it was actually very similar to those traditional gift films in the past, with positive energy, sensationalism, mediocre plot, and nothing new.
But after watching it, Zang Sheng felt that Ruan Zhong's film was even better than Zang Sheng's.
There is no deliberate sensationalism, and more importantly, it is completely shot from the perspective of minor characters.
Unlike a director like Xu Ji who is very good at group portrait scenes, this single-angle shooting method from beginning to end is actually a smarter approach.
The war scenes were shot quite professionally. Although they are not as good as "Operation Red Sea", they basically won't make people upset.
What is outstanding is the transformation process of an ordinary militiaman's mentality. It can be seen that he has really put in hard work.
On the contrary, the seemingly mediocre plot in the trailer is surprisingly smooth when put into the entire movie.
......
After lunch, Sang Shaolong didn't go home and had to continue watching in the afternoon.
Two big-budget commercial films, Tianwu and Tianhua.
This time, it is exactly what Sang Shaolong had guessed before. The two movies are very pure popcorn movies.
The production is indeed good, but not much new.
Buying a ticket is nothing more than a relaxing and refreshing experience. What you want to see is the special effects scenes and the strong actor resources of the three major companies.
Even if the actor is here, he doesn’t have much room to show off.
I just show my face in it and bring some surprises to the audience.
Sang Shaolong doesn’t plan to continue watching some other movies.
It is a low-cost production, and the trailer seems to be uninteresting.
In addition, Sang Shaolong himself was exhausted from watching four movies on the first day, so he went home to rest.
Until the night of "Detective", Sang Shaolong entered the theater again this time.
......
“The reputation seems to be quite good.”
Sang Shaolong found his seat and sat down, thinking in his heart.
What he was watching was not the premiere of "Detective". At this time, there were already many viewers online who had finished watching the movie.
He took a look at Huaban.com and found that most of them had positive reviews.
However, Sang Shaolong was not surprised. After all, there was a script as a guarantee, and the suspense theme was well-known by the other party.
The overturned car may not be very big.
The theater was dark. Because this theater had few shows, the attendance rate was very high.
At this time, the theater is basically full.
This is a very rare scene for a low-budget suspense film.
It all depends on the reputation Tongji Entertainment has accumulated with each of its fine works over the years.
It’s still the familiar Tongji Entertainment title.
As the influence and box office of Tongji's films have grown, this title has become familiar to ordinary audiences.
The opening credits of Tongji Entertainment ended, and the title of the movie appeared on the screen.
A very simple word "Detective".
"Director: Pang Er"
"Screenwriter: Xu Ji"
"Producer: Xu Ji"
......
As the subtitles appear, the movie begins with close-ups of a row of various props.
The next plot seemed a bit strange. Although it was in the police station, there was no sound.
A man was holding a knife while frantically stabbing a hung dead pig.
Through the following introduction, Sang Shaolong learned that this man's name was Chen Guibin, and he was a very famous detective in the crime team and the entire Hong Kong city.
The reason why he is called a detective is not only because of his ability to solve crimes, but also because of his unique method of solving crimes.
He will put himself into the perspective of the murderer and reenact the crime scene.
Afterwards, you will be able to understand the entire crime process and find out the final murderer just like looking into the sky.
In order to simulate the scene, the detective also asked another young police detective to pack himself into a suitcase and throw him down the stairs.
Then the case was really solved and the murderer was found.
The reason why the detective is so awesome is because he has a special ability.
That is, he can see the ghost in everyone's heart, which is the so-called inner demon.
For example, an honest male colleague in the office will suddenly turn into a nagging bitch.
And this woman is actually the true face hidden deep in the other person's heart.
Just because of this ability, it is obvious that the spirit of the detective is somewhat different from ordinary people.
On the day his boss retired, Chen Guibin actually cut off his own ear as a farewell gift.
.......
"This character and this special ability are really weird."
While Sang Shaolong was watching the movie seriously, he felt a little creepy.
Obviously this protagonist gives people the feeling of a combination of genius and madman.
Completely different from the traditional protagonist.
What's more important is that his ability, presented in the audio-visual language of the movie, seems particularly weird.
From the perspective of the male protagonist, the inner demons that suddenly appeared in front of him became a real person, and anyone else would have gone crazy.
The next plot trend revolves around a case of throwing a gun.
The male protagonist was originally fired due to mental problems, but because of this case, his former subordinates brought him back for help.
Soon, the suspected suspect was identified.
It's a police officer named Gao Zhiwei.
While being followed, Gao Zhiwei showed a strange appearance.
In the eyes of detective subordinate He Zhian, the other party looks very normal.
But in his eyes, he could clearly find that there was a completely different "ghost" deep in the other person's heart.
......
"This design is amazing."
When Sang Shaolong saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

The protagonist, as a detective, has the ability to see the inner ghosts of others, which really adds a lot of fantasy color to the whole movie.
The case itself is actually not complicated, but this setting adds quite a lot of highlights.
Especially when the detective followed the other person into the toilet, the people going to the toilet changed several times, and there was even a weird scene of a woman standing in front of a urinal to urinate.
The plot of the movie is still going on.
With further investigation, the truth behind the subsequent missing gun case slowly emerged.
It is true that the murderer is Gao Zhiwei, but every step is done by different ghosts in his heart.
Gao Zhiwei lost his gun while performing a mission. His "ignorance" (image of a fat man) blindly grabbed Wang Guozhu's gun in panic. During the conflict, his "cruelty" (image of an impulsive and irritable man) killed Wang Guozhu.
, and his "calmness" (female image) faked the crime scene to remove him from suspicion, and his different levels of "greed" used Wang Guozhu's gun to rob and kill.
The movie also comes to an end at this time.
In fact, if that's the case, in Sang Shaolong's opinion, this movie is just a story with a novel setting and an ordinary case design.
But the next ending made him feel a little creepy.
At the end of the investigation, Gao Zhiwei was found.
Several people had a shootout in the building.
The subordinate He Jiaan, who was originally on the detective's side, suddenly looked like a child in the eyes of the detective.
This is the cowardice deep in the other party's heart.
Under Gao Zhiwei's instigation, He Jiaan, who transformed into a child, shot at the detective.
However, the detective later used his last breath to beat the murderer Gao Zhiwei to death.
At this point, the only person left at the scene is He Jiaan.
After he calmed down, he first used the detective's mobile phone to call the police and surrender.
The image of a child appeared, but a woman appeared behind him.
Obviously, He Jiaan also had a different personality after the murder.
At the same time, the plot of changing guns began.
Because the guns in the hands of several people have different origins.
At this time, most of the audience was confused.
Obviously this cannot be understood in a short time.
Sang Shaolong's brain is also running rapidly.
He knew very well that the last scene where the gun was exchanged made the ending of the whole movie high.
