Chapter 818: Big Explosion on the First Day
As expected, the theater was overcrowded. After entering, Su Miaomiao looked around and saw almost no empty seats.
"I feel a bit regretful. There are too many people here today. I wish I had known better and came here later."
The two sat down and Su Miaomiao complained.
Wang Yingnan didn't take it seriously, put the drink in his hand into the hole in the armrest of the seat, and said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of when there are many people? It won't affect your movie watching.
I have been looking forward to Gu Wei's "Tang Detective 3" for a long time.
I was waiting to see it during the Chinese New Year last year, but it was postponed for a full year because of my feelings. I don’t want to wait any longer.”
Not long after, the audience who entered the theater took their seats one after another, the lights were turned off, and the movie on the big screen began to show.
A big dragon logo flew out, followed by the logos of Wei Tianxia, China Film, Wanda and other production companies.
[Tang Detective 3] opens with Tang Ren and Qin Feng already on the plane flying from New York to Tokyo.
The camera kept flashing, showing the scene of Qin Feng's father being arrested when he was a child, as well as the interview at the police academy, the last conversation with Sinuo in Chinatown, Thailand, and the discussion about human nature, bestiality and the abyss with Song Yi after solving the case in New York.
Qin Feng woke up, turned around and slapped Tang Ren, and their flight landed in Tokyo at this time.
Hao Noda, played by Satoshi Tsumabuki, was waiting for the two of them at the airport. After the three met, they officially began the Chinatown detective duo's crime-solving journey in Tokyo.
The overall style of [Tang Detective 3] is still joyful, but Gu Wei's version is much more compact in content than the original version, and the overall logic of the case is not much worse than the first two.
The original version of "Tang Detective 3" had a poor reputation because the director and producers incorporated too many nonsensical comedy elements into the movie, creating many subtly witty and inexplicable links.
It's okay for everyone to like watching comedies during the Spring Festival, but the core of the "Tang Detective" series is actually solving crimes. The comedy elements are just the wonderful chemical reactions that occur through the contrast of characters' personalities and various accidents in the process of solving crimes.
Just like a dish, the chef is praised by the diners for his exquisite carving and beautiful presentation, so he concentrates on the appearance of the dish and ignores the most essential thing - whether the dish tastes good or not.
The original version of "Tang Detective 3" was like this. It mixed too many comedy elements and was deliberately funny, but the detective plot was too thin and could not withstand scrutiny. The audience had a lot of fun watching it, but it was not as good as the first two movies, especially the second one. Reminiscent of the whole story.
In the end, it won at the box office but lost in word of mouth.
Now Gu Wei's version of "Tang Detective 3" has completely learned this lesson.
The comedy style of the "Tang Detective" series has not changed, the plot has been streamlined a lot, and many unnecessary plots have been deleted, which enhances the presence of the main plot.
The story of the current "Tang Detective 3" can be said to be completely different from the original version.
The biggest change is the addition of the new role of Nguyen Wen Gang, Vice President of the Southeast Asian Chamber of Commerce.
And judging from the case, a total of three progressive pursuits took place.
At the beginning of the movie, the evidence for the secret room murderer, Watanabe Masaru, was conclusive, and he invited Tang Ren and Qin Feng to come over and solve the case.
The two first discovered that the secret room murder case might have been a set-up by Suchawi, which meant that the deceased was the murderer and wanted to frame Watanabe Katsu and use his own injuries to achieve commercial goals.
But Sutsavi did not fake his death, but actually died, and the second reversal began. Deputy Ruan Wengang carried out a free ride killing after learning of Sutsavi's plan.
With the help of Noda Hao, Kobayashi Anna and various forces, Ruan Wengang collected all the evidence of Shun Fengfeng's murder. In the end, he himself excitedly admitted that he was the murderer.
Everything seems to be settled, and everyone thinks that the Tokyo secret room murder case has been solved.
However, Qin Feng discovered through various clues during the investigation that Suchawei's secretary Anna Kobayashi might be the real culprit behind the scenes.
Just like Sinuo in the first film, she hides in the dark and uses various means and hints to stir up Ruan Wengang's ambitions and at the same time create opportunities for him to kill people along the way.
In the end, he got rid of the first and second leaders of the Southeast Asian Chamber of Commerce without doing anything, and at the same time obtained a competing real estate project from the Black Dragon Society. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone and carried out an almost perfect crime.
In the theater, two hours passed. On the big screen, Qin Feng explained in court the causes and consequences of the entire Tokyo secret room murder case, including Suchawei's plan to frame Watanabe Sheng, and the entire process of Ruan Wengang's hitchhiking murder. motivation.
With conclusive evidence, Ruan Wengang was brought to justice.
"I thought from the beginning that Ruan Wengang didn't look like a good person. He is indeed the big BOSS. Suchawi's frame-up plan and ride-along killings are indeed interesting, but it doesn't feel too surprising."
Seeing this, Su Miaomiao whispered to her best friend beside her.
Wang Yingnan turned around and glanced at her: "Don't worry, isn't the movie finished yet?"
"Is there still a reversal?" Su Miaomiao murmured.
On the screen, Qin Feng and Tang Ren bid farewell to Noda Hao and prepared to go to the airport. As a result, the camera turned and Qin Feng appeared in a traditional Japanese courtyard.
The wooden screen was opened, and Anna Kobayashi, played by Yui Aragaki, was wearing a red flower and black bottom kimono, kneeling in front of a wooden table, meticulously making tea.
Qin Feng took off his shoes and entered the house, sitting opposite Anna Kobayashi.
The audience in the theater also knew that this should be a very crucial plot, and they all held their breath and looked at the two people on the big screen.
"President Sucavi loved tea when he was alive, so I went to learn the art of making tea for a while. Although I don't dare to call myself a tea master, I always got praise from the president." Anna Kobayashi poured a cup for Qin Feng Tea.
"Kobayashi-chan once said that you and Chairman Sutsavi have the same love as father and daughter"
"Of course, I have followed the president since soon after joining the Southeast Asian Chamber of Commerce and was promoted by him along the way. I have a very deep relationship with him for more than ten years"
"So you planned to kill him to repay his kindness!"
As soon as these words came out, Anna Kobayashi's expression did not change much, but the audience was surprised.
The corners of Wang Yingnan's mouth raised slightly; "Look, the final twist is coming"
Afterwards, Qin Feng recounted the entire case from the beginning, but this time he added Anna Kobayashi's role in it.
He helped Su Tsavi plan the frame-up operation, and then pretended to accidentally leak it to Ruan Wengang, stirring up his ambitions and helping him create the best opportunity for a ride-on murder.
Anna Kobayashi's methods were very clever, and even Ruan Wengang himself felt that this was a good opportunity given to him by God, and he killed people driven by interests and ambitions.
Qin Feng found out that the real murderer was Anna Kobayashi, but he did not report her.
Just like he didn't report Sinuo and Song Yi in the first two movies.
Ruan Wen Gang and Su Tsavi are both gangsters who commit all kinds of evil, and their fate today can be regarded as retribution for their evil deeds.
“Someone once told me that when you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring into you.
When you do evil, no matter how just the reason is, you will inevitably fall into the abyss in the end.”
After Qin Feng said this advice, he turned and left the room.
Anna Kobayashi was the only one left in the room. After two seconds of silence, she sighed. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes became extremely cold.
"Qin Fengsang is a very smart man, but he still made a mistake. I will not fall into the abyss, because I am the abyss!"
As soon as the screen went dark, the movie officially ended, the ending song began to play, and the creators of "Tang Detective" also began to lead the extras in dancing like the previous two films.
The lights in the theater gradually brightened, and the audience came to their senses one by one.
"Go ahead, that's awesome. It turns out that the real culprit behind the scenes is Anna Kobayashi. It's so beyond my expectation.
It’s really good. I feel that the third part is better than the second one and can rival [Tang Detective 1].
Do you think Anna Kobayashi is a good person? The look in her eyes at the end was so scary, she felt like a villain."
After the movie ended, Su Miaomiao and the two followed the flow of people and walked outside the cinema. Along the way, she chattered her thoughts about watching the movie to Wang Yingnan beside her.
Others are similar. The detective plot of "Tang Detective 3" is truly unexpected and reasonable, and the various twists and turns are very exciting.
There is no shortage of comedy elements in the movie, allowing the audience to walk out of the theater laughing while also reminiscing about the plot. Overall, it is definitely a good movie above the standard.
"It's over. After watching the third part, I started to look forward to the fourth one. I wonder who the Q organization involved in this film will be?"
When they walked outside the cinema, Su Miaomiao didn't stop talking. "Then you have to wait. I haven't heard of the filming of the fourth part, and I don't know how many years it will be before it is released."
After Wang Yingnan said something, he thought of something and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.
"What are you doing?"
“I bought a movie ticket on Meituan, and now I’m going to post a review after watching it.
Gu Wei has indeed lived up to my years of waiting. [Tang Detective 3] is really good-looking! ”
Su Miaomiao also took out her mobile phone after hearing this.
"I'm coming too. I have accounts on Maoyan and Douban. I just happened to go up and give out two good reviews.
Sure enough, after watching a good movie, you will have a lot to say.”
On the New Year's Day of 2021, there are countless moviegoers across the country like Su Miaomiao and Wang Yingnan.
During the first Spring Festival that passed by Yiqing, everyone’s desire to watch movies that had been accumulated for a long time finally burst out.
As the most watched blockbuster series during the Spring Festival, [Tang Detective 3] has really reaped this wave of dividends.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year in the Year of the Ox, the movie "Detective Chinatown 3" continued the trend of breaking pre-release box office records. On its first day of release, it earned 1.13 billion in box office with 42% of the national film schedule, not only creating a breakthrough in the Chinese film market. The new record also created a global single-day box office record in a single market.
At the same time, "Tang Detective 3" scored a high score of 9.6 on major ticketing platforms with nearly a million people rating it. Douban, which is always harsh, also scored 8.1. It can be said that a good reputation goes hand in hand with the box office. increase.
While the results are outstanding, the movie is also very topical. It was searched 14 times on the first day of its release. From the plot to the lineup to the layout, the audience's attention and recognition of "Tang Detective 3" can be said to cover all aspects.
[The five years of waiting have indeed been in vain. From "Tang Detective 2" in the summer of 2016 to today's "Tang Detective 3", Gu Wei has used his strength and sincerity to give everyone a satisfactory answer! 】
[It was funny and good-looking. I took my whole family to the cinema to watch it. I burst out laughing. The plot of solving the case was also very brain-burning. No one expected that the big boss behind the scenes at the end was Anna Kobayashi.]
[Thank you Gu Wei for choosing my "wife" to play the role of Anna Kobayashi. Originally, I thought Aragaki-chan was the cute and sweet type, but I didn't expect to be able to play such a cool and sassy character, especially with Qin Feng at the end of the movie. During the showdown scene, that look in his eyes just killed me! 】
[Brother is as handsome as ever, Qin Feng yyds, "Tang Detective 3" is a super hit! 】
[Gu Wei's movies never disappoint me. Last year's "Zhou Chu Removes Three Evils" and "Send You a Little Red Flower" already gave me great surprises. This year's "Tang Detective 3" has another good start. Comedy blockbusters, different genres, but equally exciting! 】
[It’s over. I really want to watch the fourth part. I beg Gu Wei to hurry up and make the fourth part. I want to know who is in the Q organization. My blind guess is that Song Yi should be there, and Anna Kobayashi should also be one of their members.
I just don’t know if it’s Sinuo? 】
[I declare "Tang Detective 3" to be the best movie I have seen this year! 】
[Upstairs, it’s only been one day this year. You’ve only watched this one, right? 】
[An excellent comedy detective film. Compared with the previous two films, the story is more complete, and the comedy elements are just right. We can see the improvement of director Gu Wei's level.
"Tang Detective 3" is very good-looking and a very good commercial blockbuster, but I still prefer Gu Wei's "Young You" and "Send You a Little Red Flower".]
【.】
In addition to the audience, the media also spoke highly of "Tang Detective 3".
The strong performance of "Tang Detective 3" on its first day of release also attracted widespread attention from foreign media.
Forbes (Fortune) issued an article saying: "[Detective Chinatown 3] is the latest domestic super blockbuster, proving once again that China's movie theaters no longer rely on imported Hollywood films!"
HollywoodReporter praised the film's director and leading actor: "In China, the new world's number one film market, the native-born superstar Gu Wei has a dominant level of influence!"
Although the movie has not yet been released in Japan, because it was filmed in Tokyo and used a large number of Japanese actors, Japan is also paying great attention to "Tang Detective 3".
After learning that the movie had grossed 23.6 billion yen at the box office on the first day, [Japanese Film Weekly] reported this incident and praised Yui Aragaki, Satoshi Tsumabuki and others for their excellent performance in [Tang Detective 3] .
Yui Aragaki, in particular, believes that she successfully achieved a transformation in her acting career with a super blockbuster filmed in China.
In fact, the exaggerated first-day box office results of "Tang Detective 3" not only surprised the audience, but also shocked practitioners in the film and television industry.
Although the domestic film market has been growing rapidly in recent years, with movies with box office of 1 billion, 2 billion or even 6 billion, no one expected that a movie could have a box office of more than 1 billion in a single day.
Many people are optimistic that "Tang Detective 3" can surpass "Wolf Warrior 2" and set a new box office record.
China Film Group.
"Old Fu, what do you think of [Tang Detective 3]'s future results? Will it break the record of [Wolf Warrior 2] as many people have guessed?"
Sitting in La Dong's office is a middle-aged man wearing glasses. He has small eyes and looks very honest.
He is Fu Ruoqing, the next chairman of China Film Group after La Peikang. He is currently the chairman of [Huaxia Distribution Company] and the deputy general manager of China Film Group.
He is also the producer of the trilogy "Me and My Motherland", "Me and My Hometown" and the currently being prepared "Me and My Fathers".
"I think it's enough.
There is a reason why the box office of [Tang Detective 3] was so high on the first day. Now is the first Spring Festival after Yi Qing. Many viewers have a strong desire to watch movies, and [Tang Detective 3] reaped the dividends.
A large part of the first-day box office was pre-sold.
Although the domestic movie market has been growing, the total number of moviegoers has remained virtually unchanged in recent years.
The reason why the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" was so high at the beginning was that the theme, the main theme, and the subsequent booking of tickets by enterprises and institutions only reached 6 billion.
When the main audience of "Tang Detective 3" has watched the movie, the box office growth will naturally slow down. I think there will not be so many people going to the cinema for a second or third viewing."
La Peikang nodded.
"Then how far do you think he can go?"
Fu Ruoqing, who was sitting opposite, thought for a while: "It shouldn't be difficult to get around 5 billion.
With the popularity of the IP "Tang Detective" and Gu Wei's own box office appeal, I think it should exceed 5 billion! ”
La Peikang smiled: "Whether it's 5 billion or 6 billion, the success of [Tang Detective 3] is the success of Chinese movies.
China Film Group also has some investment, so we must make a fortune!
Now I have to thank Director Han. Fortunately, he was optimistic about Gu Wei and supported him back then.
After these two years of cooperation, the group has gained a lot financially and has also produced many high-quality movies.”
"It's a pity that [my parents and I] Gu Wei didn't agree to come next this year." Fu Ruoqing looked a little regretful.
"It doesn't matter. The cooperation between the group and Gu Wei is multi-faceted. In addition to the [Tang Detective] series, there is also the [Wandering Earth] series, as well as [Changjin Lake] that he is filming, etc. The future is still long"
< br>
Fu Ruoqing nodded.
His relationship with Gu Wei is average, mainly because they don't have many opportunities to interact with each other.
Now I think I will have to contact him more in the future. If he takes over the China Film Group in the future, the other party will be a very good partner.
At the same time, Wanda Media, Enlight Media and other companies that have a certain share of "Tang Detective 3" were surprised by the exaggerated box office results on the first day of the movie's release.
Wanda is not listed on the stock market. In addition to its reputation, Wanda earns money from the box office revenue of "Tang Detective 3".
Enlight is different. It is a listed company. Although the A-share market is closed during the Chinese New Year, we can know from the exaggerated box office results of [Tang Detective 3] that when the holiday is over and the stock market opens, the stock price of [Enlight Media] will definitely rise a lot!
"This is pure wealth!"
In the CEO's office of Guangwang, Wang Changtian smiled from ear to ear as he looked at the box office results of "Tang Detective 3".
He made a lot of money this time. Although Ray only had 10% of the investment in [Tang Detective 3], this benefit had a huge impact on the stock market.
With a daily limit, the company's market value can increase by more than 2 billion, and Wang Changtian's worth will also rise accordingly.
