My singer girlfriend is super fierce

"Detective Chinatown" became a hit.

On the second day of its release, the film grossed 1.67 million yuan in box office revenue, and with a cumulative total of 3.2 million yuan, it continued to top the May Day box office charts.

Among the films released during the same period, "Detective Chinatown" also had the highest average attendance rate of over 80%, indicating that this film still has great box office potential.

Cinema chains are very realistic. They make money from box office revenue sharing. The prime movie-watching time during the May Day holiday is so short, and the box office results and reputation of these two days are enough to verify many things.

Therefore, many cinemas have gradually reduced the screenings of other films and allocated them to "Detective Chinatown".

Under such circumstances, on the third day of its release, the screening rate of "Detective Chinatown" reached over 50%.

Now, some people can't sit still anymore.

Generally speaking, when theaters cut screenings, they give priority to films of the same type, so "The Chase", also a suspense detective film, was the one that had its screenings cut the most.

By the third day, the screening rate of "The Chase" was less than 10%, and the predicted single-day box office was only more than 4000 million. Compared with the first day, it decreased instead of increased, and the situation was precarious.

......

A cinema in a shopping mall in Beijing.

On the third day of the long holiday, there were still many viewers coming to watch movies. While waiting, many people would cast their eyes on the promotional posters of various movies and comment on them.

The most popular one is the promotional poster of "Detective Chinatown" which is placed in a prominent position in the cinema.

After all, the two leading actors, Ye Zhiqiu and Wang Qiang, are both very popular actors among the public. In addition, this movie has been very popular recently, so many viewers came just for it.

In the crowd, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man wearing a mask. He observed a group of audiences who had just come out of the screening room of "Detective Chinatown". They were discussing the plot enthusiastically with an unsatisfied look on their faces, and then they all ran to take photos with the posters in the hall. He snorted unconsciously.

This middle-aged man is the "The Chase" movie director Wang Yan who is in disguise.

At this moment, he appeared here to watch "Detective Chinatown", or in other words, to "gather military intelligence."

The explosive popularity of "Detective Chinatown" far exceeded the expectations of the "Chasing" crew, and the "pull-down publicity" prepared before was also ineffective.

After all, the premise of pulling down others is that your work has to be better than others. But now in the eyes of the majority of netizens and even major film companies, "Detective Chinatown" is better than "The Chase" in terms of suspense and reasoning!

In this situation, it would be a bit ridiculous for the weaker party to be compared.

But Wang Yan would not admit this.

Because this is unscientific!

I am a professional in making detective films, so how could I lose to a new director who has just started out and has no professional background in this area?

He still remembered the review of the movie "Detective Chinatown" by a famous film critic he saw online last night.

[This is a work with rigorous logic and detailed details that will make your eyes shine. The movie not only has the opposition between yin and yang, good and evil, but also genius and clown, comedy and suspense, and even Eastern metaphysics and Western reasoning. These seemingly contradictory elements are actually integrated into one...]

This film review received more than 5 likes.

Wang Yan couldn't help but post a comment below criticizing the movie as "bullshit", and was criticized by netizens for two floors.

"Bullshit, are you talking about yourself?"

“You know movies too?”

"Which hospital released him?"

"At least what the blogger said was well-founded. Those who just start cursing should be treated as trolls."

"Is the OP a loser who has failed in love, failed at work, is full of resentment and can only rant about it online?"

"If you can't understand this movie, I suggest you watch the movie next door called "The Chaser", which has more childish mysteries."

When Wang Yan saw the last comment, he was so upset that he broke two teacups that were hand-made by masters of the Porcelain Capital.

I've been a director for more than ten years, but I don't understand movies! ?

The reasoning in "The Chase" is even more childish! ?

Wang Yan felt that these film critics or audiences were either paid or had been drugged by Ye Zhiqiu.

Well-reasoned, right? Well, he wanted to see what was so good about this "Detective Chinatown".

There are many screenings of "Detective Chinatown" scheduled, and the next show will soon be its turn. Wang Yan follows the audience into the screening room.

After sitting down, he looked around and took in the surroundings.

It is noon now, which is not the peak time for movie-watching, but the attendance rate of this show is still estimated to be over 7%.

Wang Yan felt a little envious. You know, the peak attendance rate of "The Chase" was only over 7%, and that was on the first day...

It's just a good scam and marketing! Wang Yan cursed inwardly and turned his eyes to the big screen in front of him, while also secretly paying attention to the audience's reactions.

The audience’s immediate feedback is the most authentic way to tell whether a movie is good or not.

At the beginning of the movie, Qin Feng, a student who failed the police academy, goes to Thailand to relax and live with his cousin Tang Ren, who is a third-rate detective in the local area.

To be honest, in the first part of the plot, there are not many highlights in the character of Qin Feng, and it is mainly up to Tang Ren to create and amplify the laughs.

Tang Ren, played by Wang Qiang, undoubtedly did this very well, and the audience in the theater burst into laughter.

Seeing this, director Wang Yan had to admit that this film did a good job in terms of "comedy".

The characters create laughs through exaggerated expressions and language, as well as gestures of waving in three directions. This is a very shallow and low-level way of making people laugh in comedy movies, but it is a down-to-earth trick after all!

What's the point for a professional filmmaker like him to sit in a chair and sneer? The audience will just buy it. At most, they will say "oops" in disgust in their hearts, but can't help laughing.

And to be honest, although this trick is useful, it is not so easy to use. It is important to grasp the degree. Otherwise, if you just go down the path of fart, shit and piss, the audience will be disgusted.

The same plot design, when performed by different actors, will produce very different effects.

I can only say that the crew of "Detective Chinatown" made the right choice in actor Wang Qiang.

At this time, Wang Yan felt sour in his heart. He thought that it was just a good choice of actor. What level of actor is Wang Qiang? If you give him to me, I can do it too!

Continuing to read on, Qin Feng and Tang Ren were involved in the case. In order to prove their innocence, they began to seek evidence on their own to solve the case.

Up to this point, Wang Yan watched the whole process with his eyes wide open.

——This is his professional field, and he is here to cause trouble!

However, he was destined to be disappointed.

The so-called detective film is a type of film that uses logical reasoning as its narrative content and main viewing interest. The core of it is to use people's urgent desire to understand and interpret suspense and unknown things to attract the audience to continue watching.

Wang Yan discovered to his despair that in the later plot, "Detective Chinatown" seemed to have done this very well.

Not only that, Ye Zhiqiu seems to have combined the mystery of solving a case with the entertainment effect of comedy, bringing an experience that is different from traditional suspense detective films.

Obviously, this attempt was successful.

At the end of the film, when the classic scene of Sinuo's weird smile appeared, the audience gasped, and even Wang Yan himself was shocked.

Then, the film ended and the whole audience erupted in loud cheers.

In the crowd, Wang Yan looked lonely and dejected under his mask.
