As the seventh work of the Conan theatrical version, "The Crossroads of the Labyrinth" can be said to be a landmark watershed in the Conan theatrical series, because after it, the theatrical version began to gradually weaken, and eventually under the succession of Shizuno Kofumi, it successfully achieved a "metamorphosis" change.
At this point, the brain-burning of the classic Benge reasoning has also become a Hollywood-style visual banquet with hot blood as the highlight, although from a business point of view, Shizuno's approach is successful, after all, the box office of Nisshin Doujin is there, but the gradual collapse of word-of-mouth is also unavoidable. So this time, without talking about anything else, we will revisit the M7 and recall what the theatrical version of Mingke was like at that time, which had not yet been fully commercialized.

It's another cherry blossom spring, and along with the cherry blossoms, there are five lives scattered in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto.
At the beginning of the film, on a dark and windy night in the middle of the month, masked samurai cleanly kill a few soy sauces, and after the police investigate, they find that they belong to a group of thieves named "Genji Hotaru".
The chief is code-named Yijing, and the subordinates are headed by Benqing, and the rest are 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 8 Lang, a total of eight people, who eight years ago had conspired to steal a valuable "Medicine Buddha" in a temple, planning to sell the stolen goods.
But the problem came, the monks had less meat and more meat, and the money was simply not enough to share, so the dragon set 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 Lang sadly received a box lunch.
Eight years ago, on a night ago, thieves sneaked into the temple to steal the Buddha statue and saw Xiao Hei, an "ace supporting character" wearing a tight suit
The "sleepy" Maori Kogoro was invited to Kyoto with his family to investigate the theft of Buddhist statues from the temple.
The clue is only a letter that inexplicably appears in the temple mailbox, has no signature or stamp, and only by solving the riddle on the picture in the letter can we find the buddha statue.
The key clue to the case, the letter, is painted with tengu, acorn, rooster, violet, Mt. Fuji and other motifs
At this time, Conan's good brother Hattori Heiji and his girlfriend and Ye also appeared in Kyoto.
This Kansai high school detective who is a powerful kendo thief, a thief with a slippery head, and a fast motorcycle thief, in addition to investigating the case, also carries his girlfriend to find the mysterious Lori who sings children's songs under the cherry blossom tree in his memory, so the two good friends hold hands and embark on the road to solve the murder and find Lori.
Compared with the other twenty bombs, "Labyrinth" can be said to be the most Japanese one, changing the modern place where other cases occur, "Labyrinth", the cases and stories take place in typical Japanese architecture, which has a unique charm.
The M1 "Detonation of the Skyscraper" case took place at the West Domo Municipal House
M11 "The Score of Trembling" takes place in the magnificent Western Concert Hall
The iconic Japanese cherry blossoms and ancient temples in M7
The case is set against the backdrop of the story of Yijing Benqing.
During the Heian period, Genji's son Yoshikei met Benkei at the Gojo Bridge in Kyoto.
Benkei wants to seize the sword of Yijing, the two fight, Benqing is defeated, yijing is taken as a subordinate, together with six other samurai, to fight with Tongyijing. Eight masters and servants, attacking the city strategically, life and death followed, and it was a good story for a while. Therefore, the people of the "Genji Hotaru" group are referred to as the courtiers of the Yoshikei.
M7 naturally integrates traditional Japanese cultures such as geisha, kimono, cherry blossoms, samurai, swordsmanship, and bowdo into every aspect of the story.
As the case progressed, japanese culture was popularized to the world, such as Miss Chizuru Rei, a geisha in the play, who showed the beauty and talent of a Japanese geisha in kimono with elegant dancing and gentle manners.
There are also Kudo's sword fights with the boss, Hattori and the prisoner's swordplay, so that the audience understands some of the common knowledge of Japanese kendo and bowdo.
For the story of Yijing Benqing, everyone has long been familiar with it, and famous buildings such as Shanneng Temple, Benqing Stone, and Monk's Ancient Immovable Hall have also been toured. More real, singing children's songs, even the names of more than a dozen streets in Kyoto have been memorized, and I have enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the way.
The full moon, the ancient temple, the Qinghe River, the flower street, the ancient and quiet.
Under the cherry blossom trees, a little Lori in a red kimono claps her balls and sings local street nursery rhymes in Kyoto, and the picture is breathtakingly beautiful.
Kyoto officially got this S-class tourism promotional film, I am afraid that I will wake up laughing in my dreams, and successfully set off a wave of Kyoto travel boom.
Kowaba shoots a ball under a cherry blossom tree, and this scene can be said to be a super classic picture of 20 Conan
Put another one, the childhood and ye, cute burst, no wonder Pingji looked for 8 years to find her
In short, on the antique tone and atmosphere, if "The Crossroads of the Labyrinth" ranks second, I am afraid that no one dares to rank first.
As for the sister piece that is similar to it, M21 Tang Hong's Love Song" although it has the intention to follow suit, replacing the flying cherry blossoms with autumn leaves on the mountain, it is not enough to return to the peak of the "labyrinth".
Tang Hong's love song picture is modeled on the labyrinth design, but it is changed to red leaves, but the plot is smooth and the atmosphere rendering is far less.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="89" > quiet, the only theatrical version without blockbuster special effects</h1>
People who have seen the famous Ke know that Conan has three treasures to solve the case: glasses, skateboards and watches, and with the blessing of these artifacts, we Conan Jun went to heaven and earth, and we are not afraid.
For example, in "Countdown to Heaven", Conan stepped on a skateboard between two tall buildings, successfully led his friends, drove a sports car, shuttled through the tall buildings, and landed safely.
In "Countdown", Conan uses a skateboard to fly over two skyscrapers
With the power of "boom", drive out of the building and land in the pool of the opposite building, which is 12 years earlier than the scene of crossing the building in "Super Seven"
In M18 "Sniper of an Alien Dimension", Conan Jun successfully catapulted from the bottom of dozens of floors to a height of 100 meters with a telescopic harness, kicked an atomic bomb-sized illuminated firework, and with the help of the super skateboard of the artifact "how to show off the skills will not step on the air", fell safely, and! Unscathed!
Newton was already weeping and blind, and could only be explained by metaphysics.
In Fifteen Minutes of Silence, Conan pedals a skateboard between a flood and an avalanche
But this time, a change from the usual routine, these artifacts did not come in handy, not to anesthetize Xiaolan, or to find the lost Yuan Tai, anyway, it has nothing to do with the case.
Not only that, many of the action scenes in the movie, the only modern confrontation is the motorcycle chase paragraph, Kansai Young Master Hattori heiji carrying Conan, a good show of driving skills, seconds to give people the illusion of playing a "cool running game".
The rest of the fight scenes are also solved with cold weapons such as bows and arrows, swordsmanship, and karate, and there is no Conan's signature metaphysical action picture, at most it is to burn a few trees and play a big football, which is very restrained.
Hattori Heiji takes Conan to chase the murderer on the mountain road, which is the most exciting picture in the whole film, which shows how Buddhist the tone of M7 is
So far, the M21 theatrical version, only this work without large scenes, the audience can spend two hours in a peaceful silence.
The biggest scene is conan lighting a fire, signaling the police, really super gentle, as for why this part did not appear to be an exciting big scene scene? Perhaps the director's love for a while, he has a pity for Kyoto.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="122" > Summary:</h1>
At the end, I don't want to write any long talk, I just want to say a digression, saying that when will the protagonists of the unit story in this theatrical version, Hattori Heiji, and Toyama and Ye, be able to confess together?
Finally, what other personal opinions do you have on the work of M7 "The Crossroads of the Labyrinth", welcome to leave a message.
