"Qin Feng, do you feel like a god now?"
After the mysterious person asked, Liu Haoran in front of the camera slowly looked up.
The light hit him in the face, half light and half dark.
Finally, a smile of good and evil was revealed.
I saw this scene from the latest trailer of "Detective Chinatown 3", and I was shocked at first.
Then rub your hands excitedly:
After waiting for 5 years, has Liu Haoran finally grown from a "beautiful little girl" to an evil man?
In the first part, Zhang Zifeng's bad smile is still fresh in his memory.
Now, Liu Haoran came to "yin" my face again.
Sure enough, the (superficially) pure boys and girls are the most elusive!
In addition, this smile also reminds me that the Spring Festival stall is coming.
In the double happiness of funny and brain-burning, watching the "Tang Detective" series in the Spring Festival file has become a necessary ceremony for the festival.
The "Tang Detective 3" increase does not increase the price:
First of all, in addition to the double happiness, add another star-chasing happiness.
Except for his wife, Satoshi Mu and Tony Ja, who wore the green trench coat of the Chinatown Detective Group logo.
There are also heavyweights such as Masami Nagasawa, Shota Someya, Nanami Suzuki, Tadanobu Asano, and Yuwa Miura.
A movie that gathers Japanese national-level old, middle-aged and young gods and goddesses, such an opportunity also! Yes! who!
Secondly, the important characters of the previous game (2 movies + 1 web drama) will be assembled in the new film, and the emotional value will explode.
There are also the flame letters that the characters must bring in the trailer, indicating that this part will reveal the biggest suspense since the establishment of the "Tang Detective Universe" -
Who is Q?
Five years of layout, one day to close the net.
"Tang Detective 3" is definitely a milestone work of Chen Sicheng in the first stage.
According to the timeline of audience viewing, Q's first appearance was in "Tang Detective 2".
Qin Feng, who went to college, began playing with a reasoning software called Crimaster.
Murders that occur all over the world are uploaded here for players to answer.
The young genius Qin Feng ranked second, and the one who forced him was the mysterious person Q.
In the "Five Elements Serial Murder Case" in New York, Qin Feng has been guided by Q to investigate the case.
In the reversal scene, he directly identifies Song Yi (Xiao Yang), who completed the "hitchhiking killing", as the Q.
Although the end of the film was overturned.
Ranked 4th in the APP, is the male protagonist of the "Tang Detective" web drama -
Detective Lin Mo (Qiu Ze), who is proficient in chemistry and has a keen sense of smell.
Lin Moben came from a wealthy family, and his parents were killed by the Man in Black when he was a child.
He hid in the closet, smelled the strange scent of the Man in Black, and saw the Q tattoo on his arm.
This smell and tattoo later appeared on the beautiful woman Ivy (Zhang Junning) who deceived him.
From the released materials, it can be inferred that in "Tang Detective 3", Q is still haunted.
From New York to Tokyo, Q secretly guides and invites Jun into the urn.
Qin Feng and his party felt that there was always a pair of invisible hands behind them:
"All this will not be a coincidence, it is all a game that Q has already arranged."
In the latest trailer of the "Who is Q" version, there is a picture of the suspected big boss.
Dressed in black, his face hidden.
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a Japanese tone: "Q say hello to you."
The mysterious person who asked Qin Feng if he felt like a god was obviously the same person.
And the new characters who match these characteristics are only Someya Shotai.
So, who exactly is Q?
In addition to these direct designations, there are many more objects that can be suspected .
Q is it the "Qin" of Qin Feng?
Prior to this, Qin Feng had been hinted at more than once to have the possibility of dual personality.
Q may be a clone of his dark personality.
And his father, who never showed up and was imprisoned for unknown reasons, was also in a suspicious sequence.
Or, does Q mean Queen?
In addition to meaning feminine, Queen is also the surname of Harry Quinn, the clown woman.
Who in the movie is the clown girl whose character originated? Kiko。
So is it also possible that the criminal genius Who cheated Qin Feng and had similarities with Song Yi's "killing people by hitchhiker" and Ivy's "killing people with a knife" is also possible?
Including Tang Ren, who has nothing to do with high intelligence, is he playing a pig and eating a tiger?
In the trailer, Qin Feng said, "Whoever appears in front of me first is Q." ”
At this time, the picture was exactly aimed at Tang Ren.
Of course, in addition to Tang Ren, there is also Noda Hao in the picture.
Qin Feng said, "Three hours after receiving Noda Hao's invitation, Q announced the iron case on Crimaster. ”
When it comes to "there seems to be a pair of invisible hands behind the back", noda Hao also appears in the picture.
All of this suggests that Noda has some kind of connection with Q.
In short, all the staff are possible!
Since "Detective Chinatown 2", Chen Sicheng has been playing the next big game.
He wasn't content to just shoot a pair of detectives.
Instead, let the film be like a platform, gathering different regions and different styles of detective reasoning culture.
Detectives from all over the world, cracking the world's strange cases, the pattern opened up at once.
Imagination and punches and kicks can also be released at the same time.
"Tang Detective 2" brings together detectives from all over the world
Two previous works, more than 4 billion box office, film and drama linkage, word of mouth steady.
The "Tang Detective" series has successfully established a universe of brand trust.
If there is anything special about the "Tang Detective Universe", it is that it tells the Story of China with a global perspective.
The so-called global vision, two points are effective.
The first is exoticism.
In Thailand, there are demons, Buddha statues, and wands.
In New York, there's wall graffiti, street hip hop, Spider-Man and Donald Duck.
When you come to Tokyo, there are streets of Shoso, Bushido, and Shibuya.
Bangkok chase, indispensable to the tuk-tuk that grabs the camera;
In the Melee in New York, Harley became a presence that could not be ignored;
And to make a big fuss about Tokyo, you have to play a crazy go-kart.
The plot direction and exoticism are perfectly integrated.
Each stop is a different scenery, and each stop has a novel thrill.
This is an experience that is difficult for other commercial films to bring.
The second is international stars.
The all-star cast of the first part has already seen Chen Sicheng's business ambitions.
Sinister villains such as Pan Yueming and Zhang Zifeng are responsible for acting, and farcical characters such as Xiao Shenyang and Chen He support the comedic effect.
Greatly enhanced the watchability of a reasoning movie.
In the second part, as soon as Michael Pitt came out, the dean was simply shocked.
It is not only to improve the visibility, but also to surprise the unexpected!
Who can forget the romantic young American Matthew who has watched "Dream of Paris"?
In the third part, China's local all-stars have become international celebrity luxury packages.
In addition to lamenting that Chen Sicheng "has something", the cultural participation shown in the whole movie is not the same.
It gets rid of the "scenery film" shooting method of general commercial films.
It no longer looks like Chinese borrowing foreign territory to shoot a scene, but really having a relationship with the people and culture of this country.
The success of the "Tang Detective" series is not just a victory for the stars, in fact, the setting of the characters is quite exquisite.
Looking at the whole "Tang Detective Universe", the dean found some laws.
First of all, the Godfather Big Guy is indispensable.
For example, The Taiwanese boss Jin Shijie in the first part, the Godfather of Chinatown in the second part, Zeng Jiang, the godfather of Chinatown in the second part, and Yuwa Miura, the boss of the Yamaguchi group in the third part.
The old drama bones with sufficient status in the jianghu will play the caller or stakeholder of the case.
One is that the acting skills can be calmed, the second is to take care of the middle-aged and elderly audience groups, and the third is to make people understand the seriousness of the case at a glance:
Such a big guy, you can't afford it.
The second is the eternal "aunt".
The previous "A Xiang" Tong Liya, "Ying Ying" Liu Chengyu, to this part of the "Kobayashi sauce" Nagasawa Masami.
One has a variety of styles, one is heroic, one is noble and gentle, and each has its own beauty.
They perform classic functions similar to those of the Bond Girls.
The goddess effect automatically makes people form expectations: who will play "aunt" in the next part?
And set up a suspense of life and death: can the protagonist complete the action of "hero saving beauty" in time?
This character will always be the most beautiful landscape in the movie.
Finally, behind the eye-catching "scapegoat", there is usually an unexpected "real murderer".
Zhang Zifeng in the first part uses Pan Yueming, and Xiao Yang in the second part blames michael Pitt for his own guilt.
Zhang Junning in the web drama made Zhang Songwen willing to fight for his life.
Behind the truth formed between them is the reversal tension of the truth.
By analogy, the Dean speculates that Shogun Someya may also be just a smoke bomb in front of the "real murderer".
The two protagonists are not as simple as the setting of "brainless and unhappy".
Tang Ren, a charlatan, life loser.
But under the surface of his waste firewood, it is also the carrier of the wisdom of the city, Chinese kung fu, and traditional cultural customs.
Wrists are strung with Buddha beads, gossip is hung on the chest, the dragon ruler is found in case of cases, and the Mo family fist is encountered.
Geniuses stand at opposite ends of divinity and animality, and Tang Ren is the embodiment of humanity that reconciles the two.
Detective Chinatown 2
Greedy for money, he followed the high prize money every time, and each time he hit the water in order to save people's bamboo basket.
There are small faults and there are also big kindnesses.
You see him, when he gets to a place, he changes to the local line.
New York wears mink skin and gold chains, tokyo puts on a kimono yukata and embraces local life forever.
Respond to emergencies and adapt to the external environment like water.
In him, he has Chinese way of survival and civilian wisdom.
This is also the foundation of a Chinese story no matter where Tang Detective goes.
Qin Feng was loaded with the choice of genius.
If the A-side story of the "Tang Detective" series is the uncle and nephew working together to solve the strange case, then the B-side story is Qin Feng's growth.
From "Wanting to Commit a Perfect Crime" in the first part, to "You Gaze into the Abyss and Gaze at You" in the second part.
Then to today's "I don't feel like God."
Qin Feng has been wandering between detective and crime, light and darkness.
God can save people and kill people, and it is unique in that he can do everything.
When a person's ability is far superior to that of all sentient beings, will he still accept the shackles of the rules of the world?
The growth of Qin Feng has established the more universal core of the "Tang Detective" series:
The choice of good and evil in human nature.
In this sense, Q can also be a Question:
Do you choose good or evil?
Detective Chinatown
In addition to continuing the classic elements of the "Tang Detective Universe", "Tang Detective 3" has been upgraded in many places.
For example, the entire film was shot with IMAX cameras, which increased the difficulty of production and improved the viewing experience.
Tony Jay joins the main character lineup, suddenly upgrading the fight scene to the level of a hardcore action movie.
Moreover, the characters of the previous game return and the addition of new characters, such a complex character clue, you can see the unprecedented scale and difficulty of the Tokyo case.
How to balance comedy, reasoning, and action scenes, but also to gather all the clues and hand over the mystery that does not disappoint.
For Chen Sicheng, the third part is undoubtedly the most challenging part of the "Tang Detective Universe".
Can the internationalization model of China's commercial blockbusters be further advanced?
The answer sheet of "Tang Detective 3" will directly determine the answer to this question.
This is also the reason why the dean pays special attention to and looks forward to this department.
On the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2021, who is Q? How many other surprises does Chen Sicheng have?
Let's reveal it together.
