The creator of "Blind Detective"
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > It contains funny suspense thriller love and other elements, why is "Blind Detective" a collection of Du Qifeng's films? </h1>
First of all, the male protagonist Hua Tsai and the female protagonist Zheng Xiuwen have cooperated four times under the direction of Du Qifeng.
Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen
In the movie, the two laugh and play during the investigation, as if the audience saw "Slim Man and Woman".
And the shooting filters and lens editing during Hua Tsai's detective are very similar to "Detective" starring Liu Qingyun.
The filter is touching, like "Detective"
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Why did Du Qifeng make such a film? </h1>
The films he directs are like aged wines, and the more they taste, the more evocative they become.
But the ratings of this Blind Detective are polarized. The most shocking thing for many viewers is the genre of the movie.
Zheng Xiuwen, Andy Lau, Guo Tao, Gao Yuanyuan
If it is said to be a love film, the plot is a suspenseful detective; if it is a criminal investigation suspense film, the plot reasoning is lost.
Perhaps Du Dao's ambition is too big, and the line in "Let the Bullets Fly" is explained by the fact that he wants to stand and earn money.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the background of the times and made movies. </h1>
In the late 1990s, the Hong Kong film market was sluggish.
The golden years of Hong Kong films are long gone, since the beginning of the new century, the superstar Tianwang starred in the sketch romantic comedy, which for a time occupied the mainstream discourse power of the film market.
This kind of romantic love movie provides a great fantasy space and movie satisfaction for the audience at the door of the new century.
Du Qifeng, who has a poisonous eye, also aims at this market, and an urban comedy "Slim Men and Women" was released, which was a great success, directly winning a staggering result of 40.43 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the best box office film produced by Galaxy Image so far.

<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Du Qifeng's personal style, entering the international market, film commercialization</h1>
But such a film full of Hong Kong comedy and humor is only suitable for Hong Kong, and Du Qifeng's vision is obviously more long-term.
"Big Man Has Great Wisdom" and "Underworld" two parts, at this time Du Qifeng's personal creation has tended to mature, showing a strong personal style.
It has also received international attention and has become a regular visitor to the Cannes Film Festival, but the box office of the film is really unsatisfactory.
It is a vivid interpretation of the inability of fish and bear paws.
The Dragon City Years of the Underworld
Therefore, Du Qifeng once again made this "Blind Detective".
The male and female protagonists are Andy Lau and Zheng Xiuwen, who are old partners on the screen.
In terms of movie genre, the two types of films such as urban love and suspense detective are simply familiar to Director Du.
The plot abandons the traditional love formula of "one woman and many men" and creates a pair of blind men and women.
"Blind Detective" was released in 2013 and eventually earned 210 million at the box office, which is also Du Qifeng's best box office performance in the mainland.
The ratings, however, are polarized.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Why aren't audiences satisfied with such a sincere work? </h1>
The most disappointing thing for the audience is the accumulation of hodgepodge of film elements, like a big fire stir-frying a pot of stew, using the best materials, aiming to gain the praise of all customers.
It turned out that the customers had all gone to another restaurant.
Zheng Xiuwen fights the murderer
Love and suspense are indeed Du Qifeng's best plays, and the details are impeccable, taking care of the front and back.
However, there is a fatal shortcoming, there is an irreversible principle in the creation of commercial films - that is, the behavior of the characters comes from the motivation, so that the fictional plot can make the characters change from active to passive, logically convincing.
The audience can also have a sense of substitution of the character to empathize with the situation of the character.
"Detective" played by Liu Qingyun
But the blind detective did not do this, the main line of the movie is undoubtedly the heroine Xiao Tong to make up for the regrets of childhood, with the help of detective Hua Tsai to find the whereabouts of her friend Xiao Min.
But the male and female protagonists have never walked into the irreversible dramatic scene, which inevitably makes people feel that maybe the next moment they will not have the patience to continue, simply stop and talk about love.
In addition, what many viewers complained about was the roughness of the criminal investigation logic in the movie.
In the movie, Hua Tsai, as the male protagonist, although blind, has a unique detective technique and is good at restoring the scene and mood of the victim in the original mind to track down clues.
But in a few cases, there are no jaw-dropping criminal methods and great pleasure in solving the case.
In the first case of murder in the house, Uncle Qiu was bluntly hit on the head by a hammer and died, and the fingerprints of Dezai were left on the murder weapon, but Dezai did not see anyone alive and did not see a corpse, and the case actually became a suspense case.
Hua Tsai was reasoning
It is true that this plot is to show and highlight Hua Tsai's method of investigating the case, in addition to the attractive method of substituting the role of the deceased, the case itself is as plain as water.
However, the main task of the movie Xiao Min's disappearance, Du Qifeng's handling has its own unique features, and the detailed content will be discussed below.
For the reasons why the above audience complained about "Blind Detective", the editor did not explain much, in fact, Hong Kong films are not TVB's criminal investigation dramas, do not tell the case, just tell the story.
And "Blind Detective" is still mainly comedy, which is traditional.
But "Blind Detective" has to be said to be a new film style of Du Qifeng.
Johnnie
Neither like Du Qifeng's best police films, which blindly walk only suspenseful thrillers, nor like the commercial love movies for which he occasionally dabbles, there may be many deficiencies, but there are also clever places.
In the next issue, Xiaobian will explain to you in detail the cleverness of the movie "Blind Detective".
