"Manslaughter 2" was released nationwide on December 17. For this movie, the audience is still looking forward to it. Since the explosion of the National Day file "Chosin Lake", the trend of the film market has been relatively sluggish, in addition to "Fame and Fame" has earned a wave of heat, other films such as "Antiques Bureau Central Bureau" and "Railway Hero" have been flat response.
So why does "Manslaughter 2" get the favor of the audience? There are three reasons for this.
First, the main creative team and cast of "Manslaughter 2" are very powerful.
"Manslaughter 2" producer Chen Sicheng, director Dai Mo, screenwriter Li Peng, Liu Wusi, Yang Meiyuan, are all involved in the "Manslaughter 1" and "Tang Detective" series of the main creators, this team of films have achieved remarkable results, "Tang Detective" series of three, the box office is higher than one, "Manslaughter 1" box office is also more than 1.3 billion, Douban score 7.4, better than 70% of the crime films.
The cast of "Manslaughter 2" is also more interesting than "Manslaughter 1", such as starring in addition to Xiao Yang, and inviting Ren Dahua, Wen Yongshan, Song Yang, Li Zhiting, Zhang Shi and so on. At the top of the list, it is enough to see the audience's expectations for this lineup.
Second, with the good results and good reputation of "Manslaughter 1" in front, the audience naturally has higher expectations for "Manslaughter 2".
In recent years, mainland films have also begun to create and create IP like Hong Kong films, and have achieved certain results, the most typical is the "Tang Detective" series, which breaks the curse that the sequel of the film is not as good as the previous work, which makes the audience convinced that the "Manslaughter" series created by Chen Sicheng's team will not be too bad, from the announced trailer, the film looks a lot, it is worth looking forward to.
Finally, there is the story that the film is going to tell. "Manslaughter 2" should reflect a similar theme core to "Manslaughter 1", otherwise it would not be put together to form a series. However, this story is not a continuation of the original story, but a completely new story. Speaking of which, it is necessary to mention a few differences between Manslaughter 2 and Manslaughter 1.
The biggest difference between the two films is the difference in the stories told.
"Manslaughter 1" tells the story of Li Weijie's daughter being raped by Su Cha, the daughter rebelling and killing Su Cha by mistake, and Li Wei Jie uses the anti-reconnaissance means he learned from some discs to prevent the police from solving the case in order to save his daughter.
And "Manslaughter 2" tells the story of Guqin Lin Rilang, played by Xiao Yang, in order to save his son, desperately, kidnapped the emergency center, and risked his life.
Second, the way stories are told is different.
Audiences who have watched "Manslaughter 1" know that the film focuses on the battle of wits between Li Weijie and the police after the case occurred, so that the audience knows the ins and outs of the whole case from the beginning, giving the audience a god vision, and the advantage of this is that the audience can analyze the problem from the two angles of the police and Li Weijie, so as to truly appreciate Li Weijie's situation and mood. Compared with some classic suspense films, the suspense of the film is not so secret.
However, the story development of "Manslaughter 2" has a certain suspense. Judging from the trailer released, Lin Zhilang appeared as a robber image, and the doctor shouted at him later, "I don't believe you will kill people", while Lin Zhilang said, "You don't know what a father can do to save his child", because you have not watched the full film, I don't know how the film tells lin Rilang's motivation for hijacking the hospital, this motive seems to be released at the end of the film, which sets up a certain suspense.
Third, the male protagonist is still Xiao Yang, but the female protagonist has changed from Tan Zhuo to Wen Yongshan. Judging from the works and word-of-mouth of the two people in the past two years, Tan Zhuo is more competitive than Wen Yongshan, and there are not many shots about Wen Yongshan in the trailer, and it is not easy to determine for the time being, but since the director chose her, naturally there is a corresponding reason to wait for the film to be released and then comment.
Fourth, "Manslaughter 2" focuses more on the depiction of family feelings, from the information that broke out in the trailer, Xiao Yang's father Lin Rilang's love for his son was integrated into many details, such as celebrating his son's birthday and doing everything possible to achieve his son's wishes, all of which made him a good preparation for his son to take risks.
Fifth, in "Manslaughter 2", the father Lin Zhilang is more desperate and helpless than the father in "Manslaughter 1".
In "Manslaughter 1", Li Weijie has a specific opponent, that is, the police led by La, he is facing a society with unfair law enforcement, and in "Manslaughter 2", although Lin Zhilang met a policeman named Zhang Zhengyi, it is equally difficult to escape the fate of being coerced, between crime and punishment, justice and evil, poverty and wealth, he is in a desperate situation, it is difficult to break free.
Of course, the specific situation, to wait for the official release of "Manslaughter 2", we will comment again, after all, only with a short trailer of more than a minute to preset how the entire film is, a little too far-fetched. After I have seen the film, I will discuss it with you.
