"Detective Chinatown 3", the box office on the first day of release has exceeded 1 billion, and in the Spring Festival file in 2021, it is a ride.
Originally scheduled to be released in the Spring Festival in 2020, it was delayed for a whole year due to the epidemic.
During the period, there were rumors to set the summer file, but it was refuted by Chen Sicheng.
The same Spring Festival movie "囧Mom" was broadcast online, but Chen Sicheng has always insisted on releasing it in the cinema, because that is the movie.
Stayed up until the end of the year Finally there was news announcing that Tang Detective 3 was scheduled for the Spring Festival.
And the pre-sale reached 700 million yuan, and this pre-sale has set a record, surpassing the previous "Wolf Warrior 2".
More than two million netizens on a ticketing APP said that they wanted to see this movie, which shows everyone's expectations for this movie.
Although there are a lot of suspenseful reasoning bridges, it is not a serious crime reasoning movie like "Sherlock Holmes", but a reasoning + comedy.
"Tang Detective 1" hit the first shot of "comedy + reasoning" with a box office of 818 million yuan in the 2016 Lunar New Year file; "Tang Detective 2" exceeded 3.3 billion yuan at the box office in the Spring Festival file in 2018, upgrading to "national comedy".
Obviously, as a series of movies, the commercial value of Detective Chinatown IP is very successful.
<h1>1</h1>
<h1>Detective Chinatown was inspired by a run by Chen Sicheng in 2012. </h1>
At that time, Chen Sicheng wrote the film script of "Beijing Love Story" in Bangkok, Thailand.
One day he and his brother were running and passing through Bangkok's Chinatown, and he wondered why he couldn't be a pair of detectives, the story of the two detectives was in Chinatown.
At this time, Chen Sicheng had a combination in his mind, a lewd uncle and a small fresh meat.
There is a lot of controversy about Chen Sicheng himself, and for a long time everyone felt that he was the selfish, self-interested talent in "Soldier Assault".
But there is no denying this about his talent.
Chen Sicheng's first script was about the suspense genre.
In the middle of the play, Chen Sicheng wrote the graduation drama, the name is "Looking Up at Heaven" is the suspense theme.
The school was later stopped and replaced by a big drama "Dear Yelena Sergeyevna".
As a result, Chen Sicheng did not participate in the performance of the graduation drama, but went out to act on his own.
<h1>2</h1>
With the idea of a detective, the first candidate he thought of was Wang Baoqiang.
When Chen Sicheng was filming "Judge's Mother", Wang Baoqiang ran a dragon set in that play, but the two people did not intersect.
In 2004, "The Children of Hongqiqu" began filming, Wang Baoqiang recognized Chen Sicheng on the set, and the two felt sorry for each other and began to cooperate for the first time.
Chen Sicheng said: Come, brother, brother please eat a meal!
Wang Baoqiang was real, touched his pocket, and said: I don't have any money, so I will punch you.
Chen Sicheng's family is rich, and he said very generously: Don't mind, the money thing, wrapped up in his brother!
So the two went to eat, a meal down, costing 20 yuan!
The shooting location is in the countryside of Henan, and there is nothing delicious, nothing more than tomatoes, noodles, eggs, garlic and so on.
The meal laid the groundwork for two people to become good friends.
Immediately after, the two men worked together again in Soldier Assault.
In "Soldier Assault", Chen Sicheng and Zhang Yi, Li Chen, and Chen Sicheng also became good buddies.
And in the TV series "Beijing Love Story" directed by himself, Li Chen and Zhang Yi also participated in important roles.
Chen Sicheng originally left a role for Wang Baoqiang in the play, and the shooting schedule of the TV series just collided with Wang Baoqiang's other works, so he had to give up.
With the success of "Beijing Love Story", Chen Sicheng's career has also reached a new level, from actor to director.

Chen Sicheng selected Wang Baoqiang at the first time, and the script was also tailored according to Wang Baoqiang.
At that time, Wang Baoqiang had not yet starred in "Tai 囧", which showed that Chen Sicheng's ability to see actors was still very strong.
Xu Zheng's 囧 series also produced three films, especially the first "Tai 囧" created many records that year.
But Wang Baoqiang only starred in the first part, and Bao Bell, who was replaced by the second part, was scolded very badly and has been criticized for imitating Wang Baoqiang.
There was a visit and Wang Baoqiang, why did he only cooperate with Xu Zheng in one "Tai 囧", but he cooperated with Chen Sicheng in three "Detective Chinatown"?
Wang Baoqiang's answer was that Chen Sicheng understood me better.

The suspenseful reasoning framework of Tang Detective's entire story, Qin Feng's memory like a human flesh camera comes from the famous variety show "The Strongest Brain".
Chen Sicheng himself is a loyal fan of the strongest brain.
After seeing the contestants in the show, he instantly had the idea of implanting this mode of thinking into the movie.
In order to better express the thinking process, Chen Sicheng even went to the recording site of the strongest brain to learn from the experience.
And after the show ended, there was a long exchange with li Wei, the contestant of the show, to get to know the real memory superman.

Before the filming of "Tang Detective 1", Wang Baoqiang's Xingtai accent had to be changed, so Chen Sicheng found a Cantonese actor to read all of Tang Ren's lines in Guangpu, and then BaoQiang followed the recording sentence by sentence.
Everything was ready, the rent was paid, and the first staff had arrived in Thailand to start setting up the scene.
But at this time, Wang Baoqiang fractured his bones, and the doctor said that it would take at least half a year to get better.
The day after learning the news, Chen Sicheng rushed to the hospital.
The first sentence when I saw Wang Baoqiang was, "Baoqiang, don't abandon, don't give up, it's okay we'll wait for you!" ”
Wang Baoqiang was originally going to talk to Chen Sicheng and change actors.
But Chen Sicheng's words directly left Wang Baoqiang speechless.
After consultation with a specialist, a steel plate was applied to the ankle.
Chen Sicheng and the entire crew waited for Wang Baoqiang for 40 days.
Wang Baoqiang accidentally lost a tooth during filming, so Chen Sicheng simply set a golden one, which is also very in line with the exaggerated shape of his film.
Moreover, a large golden tooth with brilliant golden light also made Tang Ren's image more recognizable.

In 2014, Liu Haoran participated in Chen Sicheng's "Beijing Love Story".
In order to choose a small fresh meat, Chen Sicheng found many people and observed many people.
In the end, Liu Haoran was selected to star in "Detective Chinatown", which stuttered and reasoned about the genius Qin Feng.
When Liu Haoran participated in the first "Detective Chinatown", it was only a film remuneration of 10,000 yuan.
But Liu Haoran is a famous "Liu Yi" in the crew, and many scenes are one over.
After the release of the first small-cost production of "Detective Chinatown", it received rave reviews, with a Douban score of 7.5 and a box office directly reaching 800 million.
The detective duo composed of Tang Ren, a lewd uncle detective played by Wang Baoqiang, and Qin Feng, a small fresh meat stutter detective played by Liu Haoran, brings a strong contrast and joy.
Therefore, Chen Sicheng decided to make Tang Detective the vision of China's first detective IP - "I hope it can become a big IP that is truly accepted by Chinese audiences and our own originality, and even can be caricaturized, gamified, derivative, and parked." ”

Although Liu Haoran's film remuneration is very low, when filming Tang Detective 2, a supporting role appeared for only 5 minutes, and the film remuneration was as high as 3 million.
It is the blue hair and Lolita face in the film, but it is a super high IQ "super hacker" kiko.
Shang Yuxian is a graduate of Beiying, graduated from a science class, and has also participated in "Old Cannon" and "Kung Fu Yoga", and when Tang Detective 2, she was also nominated for the Best Newcomer of the Hundred Flowers Award for the role of Kiko.
In Death Note, there is a popular character named L.
The reason why L is so popular, in addition to his "world's first detective" and super high IQ, is also related to his unique behavior.
When thinking, L often likes to squat in a chair, eat some snacks and other foods, and often use his mouth to suck his fingers.
Hacker KIKO is very similar to L in "Death Note", not only has high ability, but also has such a personality, so KIKO is also considered by many viewers to be a "female version of L".

Every Tang Detective has Chinese culture + exotic culture.
Tang Detective 1, elements in Thailand, Southeast Asian, Thai temples and grand palaces.
Tang Detective 2, in the United States. The main filming of the carriage chase scene in Times Square is a New York landmark.
It is said that the horse raced all the way in Times Square, and it is said that it was for the carriage chase scene staged in the movie in Times Square, and director Chen Sicheng burned more than 3 million US dollars!
The second Tang Detective earned 3.397 billion yuan at the box office.
Tang Detective 3, filmed in Tokyo, Japan, sumo wrestling, soup, kendo, sumo, go-kart and other elements are reflected.
Shibuya, the world's busiest intersection, has a traffic light with 3,000-4,000 people, and many scenes are not possible to shoot on Shibuya Central Street, so the crew set up a 1:1 Shibuya on the outskirts of Tokyo.
The incident also alarmed the local Japanese media.
No foreign film team can do that.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, "Tang Detective 3", which was just released for one day, received nearly 1 billion box office.
Although the box office performance is gratifying, the word of mouth is polarized.
At present, the film's rating on Douban is only 6.8 points, after "Detective Chinatown 1" had a score of 7.5 points and "Detective Chinatown 2" had a score of 6.7 points.
The third Tang Detective wants to implant the concept of world peace, and it has to be said that the more elements are added, the more difficult it is to balance.
Many netizens feel a bit tough and sensational, and there are too many funny, insufficient reasoning, and some blunt advertising implants.
In fact, as a popcorn movie in the Spring Festival file, we don't have to be too demanding.
There are many conjectures about Q, and everyone's guess is actually a refraction of everyone's psychology.
In the end, Andy Lau's one look up became the climax of the whole drama.
"Everyone is destined from birth to play their own role, some good and some evil."
Human nature is inherently complex, good and evil are never opposites, which is what Chen Sicheng wants to tell everyone most.
In this world, there is no absolute good and there is no absolute evil.
