Chapter 462: Comedy and suspense, unexpected reversal
Sang Shaolong was also shocked when he walked into the theater with his blind date.
The attendance rate of "Detective Chinatown" is too high.
Especially since the two of them have just watched two other Spring Festival movies, the gap is even greater when compared.
In a small fifth-tier county like Sang Shaolong's hometown, it is quite incredible to be able to fill up the entire theater at this time, even during the Spring Festival.
For the previous two movies, it was estimated that half of the locations on the set were vacant.
Although it is a premiere on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is normal for the attendance rate to be high, but a show like "Detective Chinatown" is indeed unique.
...
"There are quite a lot of people here."
The girl spoke.
Sang Shaolong also said: "I didn't expect the attendance rate of "Detective Chinatown" to be so high."
The girl looked at Sang Shaolong strangely.
"Isn't this normal?"
Sang Shaolong was stunned for a moment.
"But "Detective Chinatown" is a suspense film after all, and it belongs to a niche genre."
What he said was his own feeling.
But what the girl said next made Sang Shaolong suddenly react.
“Isn’t this Tongji Entertainment comedy a comedy?”
Sang Shaolong suddenly realized this.
He had been following Tong Ji's new movie.
But every time I only notice the suspenseful title type, but ignore the comedy behind it.
After all, so many suspense-themed dramas and movies that Tongji has produced before are all very serious suspense themes.
There is no so-called comedy element.
He subconsciously didn't think about it.
Now it seems that although "Detective Chinatown" can be regarded as a suspense-themed movie, it is not as niche as imagined.
The attempt to combine suspense with comedy is quite novel, at least no one has tried it like this before.
...
"Furthermore, Ji Yiyang and Liu Baofeng star in the show, and I feel like there are a lot of people watching them."
The girl spoke again.
At this time, Sang Shaolong also realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding before.
The main reason is that although Tongji Entertainment’s previous suspense-themed movies performed well at the box office, they were basically all low-budget.
And the actors in it are actually not very popular.
But this time it’s different, it’s not just comedy.
In addition, Ji Yiyang, a young actor who is currently very popular, and Liu Baofeng, who became popular with the role of Xu Sanduo.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that it is enjoyed by all audiences, young and old.
And looking at it this way, this suspense movie from Tongji Entertainment seems to be a little different from the previous ones.
The purpose is very clear, it seems to be a commercial film model, aimed at the movie box office.
If it were from another company, Sang Shaolong would probably have guessed in advance that the plot of this movie would most likely not be very good.
But Xu Ji is the screenwriter, so it’s worth looking forward to.
...
The movie starts soon.
It’s still the familiar Tongji Entertainment title.
As Tongji Entertainment has released more and more movies in theaters over the years, most viewers are familiar with this title sequence.
After all, in addition to movies, Tongji Entertainment's title titles and company logo also often appear on some TV series.
There are so many dramas and movies about Tong Ji Huo. If I haven’t seen one, I’ve always seen another one.
At the beginning of the movie, Ji Yiyang, who plays Qin Feng, appears. He failed in the interview at the police academy. His grandmother asked him to go to Thailand for a week to relax and relax. His family has a cousin in Thailand who is known as the "No. 1 Detective in Chinatown."
Sang Shaolong recalled it and thought about it carefully. Although Ji Yiyang's popularity is indeed very high, it has been a long time since he appeared in a film and television work as an absolute protagonist.
The last time was the role of Guo Jing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
Although the follow-up "Operation Red Sea" had a lot of scenes, it was actually more like a group portrait, and the role played by Ji Yiyang was not really the leading male role.
Including guest roles in various popular dramas, and even playing an unlikable adult in "Soldier Assault".
I have to say that this kind of experience did make Sang Shaolong somewhat admire him.
He didn't know whether this was Ji Yiyang's own choice or the path arranged by Xu Ji from Tongji Entertainment.
But no matter what, since the beginning of "The Best of Us", Ji Yiyang has actually become a complete hit.
According to such a celebrity status, if it were replaced by some other companies, it would be absolutely impossible for Ji Yiyang to lower his status and play some supporting roles or something.
Every script has to be played by a male lead.
But usually under such circumstances, for actors, their acting skills will stagnate or even regress.
Tongji Entertainment is also courageous, or in other words, it does not regard Ji Yiyang as a so-called cash cow.
It allowed him to calm down and hone his acting skills for so long.
Including the blessing of Tongji Entertainment's scripts and the cooperation with many official veteran actors, Ji Yiyang's acting skills have indeed improved significantly now compared to those before.
In just the few scenes he appeared in, it was obvious that he was able to handle the most difficult eye scenes for actors easily.
It would be impossible for any other young actor of this age.
Looking at it this way, it seems that these actors from Tongji Entertainment are almost unique in their age group.
And basically everyone cherishes their feathers very much, so they don't receive many bad movies, and their reputation among them is quite good.
...
"Ji Yiyang is so handsome!"
Some spectators around could not help but whisper.
Sang Shaolong couldn't help laughing.
But it seems to be the case. Ji Yiyang's appearance is indeed a great advantage.
Coupled with the acting skills that other young actors of the same type don't have, it's a huge plus.
No wonder there are so many fans.
While other popular celebrities have almost become synonymous with box office poison, Ji Yiyang himself already has the box office appeal of many movie stars.
Of course, seeing Ji Yiyang's appearance in this drama inevitably reminds people of the original "The Best of Us".
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That is to say, starting from this drama, Ji Yiyang joined Tongji Entertainment.
No one would have thought that in the past five years, Tongji Entertainment, a small company, would have grown to what it is today.
...
At this time, the movie is still going on.
As Qin Feng came to Thailand, another protagonist Tang Ren also appeared.
In fact, Sang Shaolong, who had seen the movie poster before, knew that this movie had two male protagonists.
In addition to Ji Yiyang, Liu Baofeng is also the male protagonist, and his role in the movie is probably not less than that of his counterpart.
But when I saw Liu Baofeng's appearance and his somewhat ridiculous accent, I was still a little surprised.
From the subsequent plot of drugging Qin Feng, being seen through by Qin Feng, and then making a fool of himself which caused the theater audience to laugh, Sang Shaolong was able to make a judgment at this time.
Liu Baofeng's role this time is obviously responsible for the comedy part.
Liu Baofeng's most impressive role before was the honest, honest, and even stubborn Xu Sanduo.
But I have to say that Liu Baofeng's acting skills are indeed very good.
This time, Tang Ren, a completely subversive character, was played very well by the other party, and it didn't feel inconsistent at all.
Of course, other than that, although the movie has just started, the overall pace is quite good.
The personalities and personalities of the two characters are pretty well established.
...
As the movie progresses, Tang Ren is involved in a murder case.
He became a murderer wanted by the police.
If it were based on the style of previous suspense films, the overall atmosphere would definitely be quite depressing.
After all, the protagonist has been framed as a murderer and is hiding everywhere.
But this is not the case in "Detective Tangren Street". The overall atmosphere still maintains the relaxed and humorous feeling at the beginning.
The plot is also deliberately closer to the style of a comedy.
From time to time, laughter could be heard from the audience.
Although Sang Shaolong was quite happy to watch it, he still did not forget his own job.
He also discovered that the fact that the comedy part can have such an effect actually has a lot to do with Liu Baofeng.
As the core of the comedy part, Liu Baofeng's acting skills in this aspect are very good.
It won't make people feel embarrassed at all.
Of course, Sang Shaolong would rather say that Liu Baofeng has a talent for comedy.
Although comedy looks simple, it is actually not simple to perform.
Many actors may not be bad at acting, but when it comes to comedy, they are just not good at it.
This is the first time Liu Baofeng has acted in a comedy, and it is such a role that subverts his original image.
He is indeed very talented.
Of course, Sang Shaolong was still a little worried at this time.
Because of the overall investigation process, although the comedy part does make people laugh, the case itself is prone to problems.
This is an attempt to combine comedy and suspense. The comedy part is indeed qualified, but I don't know if the suspense reasoning aspect can be justified.
Unless it's a very boring case at the end, it won't be interesting at all.
Compared with comedy, Sang Shaolong still pays more attention to the suspense part.
If the truth of subsequent cases is also so confusing and confusing, Sang Shaolong probably won't give it too high a score.
Of course, others need to worry, but the script was written by Xu Ji, and Sang Shaolong is still confident in it.
...
As the plot progressed, Sang Shaolong finally discovered it. Although there were many funny plots, they seemed to be well integrated into the overall investigation process.
The narrative rhythm is rarely too confusing.
The investigation and advancement of the case itself is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
Tang Ren was framed, and then he and Qin Feng began to investigate the murder case.
In the middle, the gold theft case was involved.
From the deceased's room, to on-site surveillance, then to the deceased's consumption list, and then to a cafe frequented by the deceased.
The investigation process was indeed a bit wild, but the clues were never cut off.
So far, the movie has gradually begun to have an atmosphere of suspense and reasoning.
As the protagonist, Qin Feng shared this responsibility very well.
No wonder the movie was set up with two male protagonists from the very beginning.
Although Sang Shaolong had felt it before, it was only now that he felt it was like this.
Although the character Tang Ren also participated in the entire process of investigating the case, he was basically responsible for the comedy aspects of the plot.
The person who can really promote the progress of the case is Qin Feng.
Of course, Qin Feng appears to be more serious, and it is indeed inappropriate to assign too much comedy to such a character.
From this point of view, the two protagonists complement each other, not only in the plot and investigation, but also in the setting of the characters themselves.
Only in this way can the so-called combination of comedy and suspense elements be better achieved.
...
As the movie comes to an end, it slowly reaches the final stage of revelation.
According to the clues they obtained before, Qin Feng and Tang Ren finally found the suspect.
The deceased's son and the suspect's adopted daughter went to the same school.
The deceased's son also disappeared, so Qin Feng and Tang Ren decided to start with the suspect's adopted daughter.
The two came to the girl's home. As soon as they entered the door, they found that the girl had taken sleeping pills and there was a half-burned diary next to her. Then the girl was sent to the hospital and her stomach was washed, and she was out of danger.
The girl's diary records the motive for the murder and the murderer.
The diary wrote: "The deceased could not accept his son's disappearance and began to stalk his son's classmates. One day, he lured the girl to his home and raped her."
Qin Feng guessed that the girl's adoptive father could not accept that his daughter had been defiled, so he took revenge on the deceased.
As for Tang Ren, it was just bad luck. When he went to the deceased's house to move the boxes, the deceased was actually already dead.
The murderer disguised the deceased as a sculpture sitting on a stool and used a Bluetooth speaker to make the sound of the sculpture. He hid in a box and was transported away by Tang Ren. In fact, there was no gold in the box, but the murderer was inside.
...
When Sang Shaolong saw this, he actually felt a little bit disappointed in his heart.
He had actually guessed the plot of this story before, so he didn't find it surprising.
I just felt that the story was a bit bland.
As the murderer was caught in the movie, Tang Ren regained his innocence, and it seemed like everything was over.
But the movie was not over. Just as Qin Feng was about to return home, he saw a bar. The name of this bar also appeared frequently on the deceased's consumption list. Qin Feng asked Tang Ren what this bar meant, and saw Tang Ren.
Ren smiled and said that this is the most famous gay bar in Thailand.
Hearing this, both Sang Shaolong and Tang Ren felt like they suddenly woke up.
The words Tang Ren said unintentionally when he saw the deceased's room suddenly appeared again.
“The room is clean and has no peculiar smell. I’m either a transvestite or a gay.”
The deceased was gay!
So how is it possible to rape a girl?!!
Qin Feng did not return to China, but went to the hospital to find the girl and told her such a story.
A boy disappeared. The boy's father kept searching for him. Finally, he suspected that his son was dead and that the person who killed his son was a girl. So he started to follow the girl and look for evidence. The girl finally found out that she was being followed. She was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she wanted to get rid of this boy.
Father.
The girl knew that her adoptive father's love for her was very abnormal, so she deliberately let her adoptive father see the fabricated diary. The following pages were torn out showing the murder method.
After the father of the missing boy was solved, the girl wanted to get rid of her perverted adoptive father, so she planned to let the two detectives who came to find her come in, take sleeping pills and burn the diary. But one thing the girl didn't expect was that the deceased was actually
Homosexuality.
Listening to Qin Feng's reasoning, the girl first smiled and Qin Feng suddenly stopped stuttering.
Then he suddenly showed a creepy smile.
Then it returned to its original cute appearance.
"Should evil people laugh like this?"
Many people at the scene were startled by the smile of the little girl in the movie.
The same is true for Sang Shaolong.
But apart from that, he is still digesting the twist at the end of the movie.
No one expected that the person behind this murderous conspiracy would be a seemingly harmless little girl.
