On the first day of the release of "Detective Chinatown" the national comprehensive screening reached an astonishing 63%. As of 10 o'clock on the 18th, the box office closed at 128 million;

Not a famous film critic and a non-staff member of Wan Chongshan, Ling Xuehong, commonly known as the Big V Navy, wrote in his film review column;

The last good movie in 2015 is actually a native reasoning and detective film that combines almost all kinds of excellent Chinese genres. If you add the category of domestic films, it is obviously particularly surprising.

This New Year movie written by Meng Qingzhou and directed by Ning Hao is believed to have not disappointed every audience who goes to the theater. Those juggling actions, stunt scenes and reckless adventures are no longer available even in local Hong Kong movies.

Huang Bo's neurotic comedy performance in subverting his image, shining brightly, Tong Liya is beautiful and has a unique charm. Liu Haoran and Zhang Zifeng compete in acting skills, one big hole after another, and the mysterious smile will make each other feel that "the past can only be reminiscent".

From a farce with a bright rhythm and full firepower, to meticulous and reasonable imagination, to the most unlikely possibility of the truth, "Detection" is quite informative, just like the white paper in the movie.

Before entering the venue, I believe that most people do not have too many expectations for "Chinatown Detective". In the past two years, Huang Bo has established his leading position among the middle-aged actors in China because of "Journey to the West", "Blooming Heart", and "Dear"; and no one can match his ability to fight the box office in a single case;

Ning Hao unexpectedly allowed him to play the role of Tang Ren, which is a masterpiece. Other actors are either unknown or difficult to imagine their style and performance. Unexpectedly, Ning Hao, who gave up his previous acting career, contributed the rare natural reasoning production of mainland movies, and the temperament of the cinema culture cannot be obscured.

What is particularly difficult is that the first half of the movie seems to be a reenactment of "Lost in Thailand". The weird combination of Huang Bo and Liu Haoran roamed the endless interactions with the fool police on the streets of Chinatown. It enters a serious case investigation, reasoning, reenactment and truth-revealing (unaware to the parties and the audience, and the legal community representing justice) can be combined organically without disdain, which fully demonstrates that Thailand is more conducive to the creation of mainland movies than the Republic of China.

The Republic of China was borrowed time, and Thailand was overseas others. The stories of Chinese people could be staged unscrupulously in these heterogeneous times.

If it weren't for Thailand, the memos and plots of the detective part in "Chinatown Detective" would basically not be valid. Those dirty and unrestrained, pornographic, gambling, drugs, GAY, etc., and the folk beliefs of the unity of the Tao, and the police circle that is chaotic and messy, just satisfies the audience's imagination and reality of Thailand.

Even in the time and space of others, Ning Hao still told a good story. We must admit that warriors with shortcomings are also warriors. "Detective Chinatown" must be a genre that does not conceal its flaws. This is also the way to take the box office of Hong Kong movies, today's Korean movies, and Hollywood movies.

The jokes may be older, but when they are combined with two extra-profile detectives who are silly and cute, the chemical reaction is very fun. The old boy Xiao Yang, the wretched master Chen Chichi, the exotic beauty Tong Liya, Pan Yueming, Zhang Zifeng's special father-daughter group, and even Xiao Shenyang and Zhao Yingjun's evil gang are all comfortably placed in the plot. Most of the lines, props and actions in the film echo, which have always been the weakness of domestic movies.

The second half of "Chinatown Detective" is a unique sense of exaggeration and the crazy ones in the first half. The final result is the complex human nature, and everything is a kind of debt abuse of affection. The whole film is a bit overworked, but this is the tone that Chinese audiences like at present. The Hong Kong action comedy in the 1980s is actually the same;

Of course, the premise for all this success comes from the unemployed screenwriter-type director Meng Qingzhou. In two years, except for the movie "A Grand Master", Director Meng seemed to have disappeared. I remember that he said in an interview that he loved movies, but he seemed to have forgotten it!

It is hard to imagine that Director Meng, who loves urban love themes, would suddenly write such scripts, and his cooperation with the genius director Ning Hao is so wonderful;

At first glance, "Detective Chinatown", which looks like a "bad movie", not only breaks away from the low-level fun in creating comedy effects, but also makes people feel relieved that it is actually a rare real detective movie in China;

In this movie that is worth savoring repeatedly, we can see that Meng Qingzhou, as the screenwriter, is an absolute mystery detective fan, and has really put a lot of effort into learning and researching.

The film directly or indirectly quotes many classic reasoning and detective novels. If you have some understanding of these novels, you will find that the stories hidden behind the plot are much more than you see in the cinema;

To truly understand movies, you must first know what authentic reasoning is;

The original reasoning mainly focuses on logically implicit mystery, and uses thrilling plots and intriguing tricks to unfold plots through logical reasoning. There are often trick types such as murder in secret rooms or killing in isolated islands.

The native school can satisfy readers who are interested in solving puzzles, and usually let readers and detectives stand on the same plane as much as possible and have the same number of clues. Some native mystery novels will have a declaration of "challenging the readers" (such as Elery Quinn), which means telling readers that "you have enough clues to solve puzzles here" to challenge readers whether they can solve puzzles like detectives. Therefore, focusing on fairness and rational logic is a characteristic of this type of reasoning.

The greatest charm of natural reasoning is that it basically deals with "impossible crimes", so those related to natural reasoning will appear to have a very IQ.

Two conditions must be met for high standards that meet the original reasoning:

There must be a mystery: a murder case cannot be called a natural reasoning. The criminal methods used by the prisoner must be confusing. Then, during the investigation of the case, the mystery will reveal its true colors.

It is extremely important to solve the mystery in the right way: This is extremely important. The reasoning and the method of inference must be rigorous and clear, and there must be no ambiguity.

The novels that appear in the movie are also classic works of the original reasoning school.

"Tsk, Xuehong is too good to break it. When did Lao Meng read the mystery novel, right, Zixuan?"

The girl quietly pointed behind Mimi, and Boss Yang's face suddenly changed, and he immediately changed his tone: "But who is our husband, a famous talented man, you can write such a script at will."

Don’t blame the always domineering little fox for being so cautious. He was so exhausted by a man last night. His shrill screams resounded throughout the house. If Zixuan hadn’t come to rescue him, she would have been lying on the bed at this moment;

"Mimi, what are you talking about? Qingzhou is not here, don't show your love like this!"

The little fox looked back and saw Tong Liya and Tianxian coming, but there was no trace of Meng Qingzhou. He turned around and glared at Reba and said, "Reba, dare you cheat me?"

The girl winked at the little fox anxiously, pointed behind her invisibly, and opened her red lips slightly, "Uncle is behind!"

"Do you know what a man's greatest charm is, he is strong in his bones, educated in his words and deeds, tolerance in his relationships, kindness in his heart. My husband is such a person. No wonder I love him to the core!"

"puff!"

"This flattery!"

"I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that you vixen have times when you are afraid, and you have the ability to continue to squirt. What are you afraid of? I just sing a song for two hours? Boss Yang, don't be afraid. Actually, I don't believe that this script was written by Dachuan!"

Meng Qingzhou swept over Mimi meaningfully, and his eyes stayed in a certain part for a moment: "It seems that the lesson is not profound enough. Mimi, we will discuss the promotional plan for the movie tonight. Do you have time?"

Boss Yang immediately became timid, covered his buttocks with both hands and blinked at Lao Meng pitifully;

"cut!"

The fairy shook her nose and floated past the two of them with her hands on her back;

Tong Liya rolled her eyes and pushed Qingzhou forward and said, "I'm leaving, I know how to mess with people. I don't worry about Detective Chinatown. Ning Hao is calling for justice on Weibo!"

Will Ning Hao shout for justice?

This guy is beautiful now. Although there are people outside that it is rumored that Detective Tang is a work of Meng Qingzhou, whether it is the film promotion or when Lao Meng was interviewed, he always emphasized that Detective Tang is a work of Ning Hao, which has nothing to do with anything else;

"The Golden Robbery", "The Heart is Blooming", and "Detective Chinatown" have sold three consecutive movies. Ning Hao's vision in commercial films has conquered many investors. The investment intentions and cooperation plans that the bad monkey has received in the past few days have made the couple dazzled;

Are there any shortcomings of detective Tang?

There must be!

For example, the end of the movie is somewhat unexpected, and Qin Feng’s conversation with the little girl reveals that the little girl is the murderer.

In Ning Hao's opinion, the ending designed by Lao Meng is a bit extravagant, making people feel that he is "pretending to be profound".

Before revealing that "the little girl is the murderer", the murderer's motive was "his adopted daughter was raped and avenged her adopted daughter." Even Lao Xu believed that this motive was very reasonable. If the movie ended here, there should be no problem.

But in the last scene, the 4-minute dialogue caused a major reversal of the plot, which was unexpected, surprising, and interesting. Despite this, this kind of flip is quite a bit like "pretending to be profound", and is "deep" in order to appear "deep". Because the plot of this movie is still complete after removing these four minutes. Moreover, if you remove these four minutes, the plot may be more reasonable and natural.

Because after revealing that "the little girl is the murderer", the murderer's motive was "I killed my classmate, and then my classmate's father wanted to kill me, so I thought of a way to kill him first."

In fact, the murderer did not "match" this motive: a girl who was about 18 years old and was in school was actually a "poisonous scorpion-hearted" murderer.

In addition, the second motive for murder is not as reasonable and natural as the first one, "My daughter (girlfriend) was bullied, and I will help her take revenge." The second motive, "Because the father of the classmate I killed wanted to kill me, I killed his father too", is not very complete - because it does not indicate "why did the girl kill her male classmate".

But on the other hand, the main line of the story is "Qin Feng helped Tang Ren whitewash", and finally successfully whitewashed, and the plot is also complete.

Meng Qingzhou himself also compared it. The mystery drama that impressed him the most was Captain America's "The Knife Out of the Sheath". He subconsciously made a comparison: the endings of these two movies look similar, but the essence is different.

The common point is that in the last scene of the two movies, the plot has a 180-degree reversal. The difference is that the reversal of "The Knife Out" plays a role in promoting the development of the plot, whitewashing the protagonist's injustice, and finding out the final murderer. This is the final turning point of the entire case and pushing the story to the end.

The flip of "Detective Chinatown" seems to be more like "pretending to be profound" - this may indeed increase the "interesting" of the movie.

But when you think about it carefully, the two movies cannot be compared: "The Knife Out" is a serious mystery film, while "Detective Chinatown" is a comedy mystery film.

The former is more serious, while the latter is more coke;

Even if there are shortcomings, what does it matter? The box office of the movie exceeded 300 million in three days after its release, breaking the first week of domestic movies and the fastest new record of domestic movies. In a good situation, how could Ning Hao shout for justice!

Not only Ning Hao was successful, but also Tong Liya, who was called an unexpected surprise by netizens;

Yaya gave everyone a big surprise. In the past, she often appeared in costume dramas, and it was beautiful, but not down-to-earth. This time she played the role of the boss lady in Detective Tang, which unexpectedly made everyone discover that Tong Liya could be so sexy!

Many people eat Tong Liya's appearance because over the years, Yaya's fairy spirit has not changed, she is still gentle and elegant, and still down-to-earth. She occasionally takes care of her big sister and the softness of a little girl, and is consistently low-key and humble.

Many fans praised Detective Tang Yaya's beauty, and were obsessed with it, with every frown and smile, and her eyebrows were picturesque!

Meng Qingzhou looked at Weibo for a while, and several netizens with fever shouted under his Weibo, asking him to let Yaya go and give her freedom!

Fortunately, I didn’t say anything about killing Menggou in my hand!

"Lao Meng, why did you succeed? Director Xue asks you?"

"What's up?"

"Mr. Meng, I still think "Go to See You Now" is not suitable for release during the Spring Festival, but Mimi really wants to give it a try. I want to hear your opinions."

"My opinion has been said long ago. I have watched the movie list. There are no blockbusters on May Day next year. We have enough publicity period. Mimi is a show-off again. Let her show off her to the fullest this time!"

The little fox glared at the two of them angrily. I was delicate and tender, and I was in my prime. What's wrong with Aixuan? I want you to talk too much!
Chapter completed!
