The ceiling of domestic suspense comedy must be indispensable to the "Tang Detective" series directed by Chen Sicheng, but he is the number one in China to do comedy suspense, but the serious word-of-mouth suspense is far less famous than "Tang Detective".
With the launch of "Detective Chinatown 3", Chen Sicheng also fell into the question of "Jiang Lang's talent". And his new work "Disappearing Her" as a screenwriter and producer hit back public opinion fiercely.
According to the data, "Disappearing Her" won a total of 70 million box office in the case of a small area of screening on the first day, and today's premiere only a few hours, the real-time box office exceeded 39 million, the box office accounted for almost half of the theater market, won 9 box office champions in one go, and the trend is very good.
According to this situation, the platform's prediction for the film to predict that the total box office in the mainland is 755 million, but don't forget that the reputation of "Disappearing Her" continues to ferment.
Although "Disappearing Her" has just been launched, the Douban comment area of this screening has exploded, some netizens praised the movie as a "suspenseful ceiling", and some netizens lamented that the movie is "a very stable and mature commercial entertainment film... Each layer of reversal is done very realistically, repeatedly pulling the audience into the confusion of the final truth...".
As a suspense work, "Disappearing Her" obviously performed quite well. If suspense films are made like this, why worry that there is no audience.
Constant reversal, high-energy plot, "Disappearing Her" creates a urine-free suspense ceiling (including spoilers)
The movie "Disappearing Her" tells the story of the rich businessman He Fei (played by Zhu Yilong) and his newly married wife for a year to Southeast Asia for an anniversary trip, but his wife Li Muzi disappeared for no reason during the trip.
At the beginning of the movie, He Fei pleaded with the local police station to file a case, he negotiated with the police in English, but the local police were quite indifferent to this, and in a hurry, he used Chinese to burst foul language, full of despair, but was driven out by the police.
Being in a foreign land, why not the beloved newlywed wife suddenly disappeared, and the affectionate man only had a visa for the last 5 days, but he could only be helpless on the side of the road.
But at this moment, a strange woman appeared, she called herself Li Muzi, she had an identity certificate, a photo with herself, and even a scar on her leg exactly like her wife.
But why not know that the woman in front of him is not Li Muzi.
All the doubts of the plot point to vicious events in Southeast Asia, and Li Muzi's disappearance may be blackmail, or it may be a simple female kidnapping.
But the strange woman who came to her side made things more complicated. After several negotiations, the strange woman directly confessed her unkind intentions, and she wanted "all".
The appearance of the strange woman and the gold medal lawyer makes the plot of the entire movie take a turn. The doubts of the plot changed from vicious events in Southeast Asia to a conspiracy against wealthy businessmen.
They took advantage of the fact that He Fei took psychotropic drugs to make He Fei a madman in the eyes of outsiders, and if He Fei entered a mental hospital, all his property would be transferred to the hands of the criminal gang.
The plot seems to be getting clearer, but a new fog reappears. Why not lie.
He is a gambler, and he confesses to Chen Mai that he contracted the malignancy of gambling before he knew Li Muzi. It was the appearance of Li Muzi that became the light that saved him, and it happened that Li Muzi was the heir daughter of hundreds of millions of property.
He Fei's sincere words almost convinced the audience. But once the "gambler" hat is put on, the audience can no longer believe every word in his mouth.
Sure enough, He Fei still had more secrets hidden in him, and Li Muzi's disappearance was not so simple, and even the gold-medal lawyer approached He Fei with a different purpose.
Looking back at the plot of "Gone Her", there are many foreshadowings, twists and turns, and every reversal is caught off guard and very reasonable. In such a high-energy and logical plot, "Disappearing Her" is hearty for 122 minutes, without a single minute perfunctory to the audience.
To put it bluntly, most of the credit for the success of "Disappearing Her" in word of mouth is the rhythm of the plot. And the shaping of the actors is the highlight of the movie.
Zhu Yilong and Ni Ni's acting skills exploded, and Wen Yongshan made people unable to open their eyes
The soul character in "Disappearing Her" is He Fei played by Zhu Yilong, and almost all the plots of the shots unfold from He Fei's perspective.
It's just that the audience doesn't realize that all the fog in the first half of the plot is a scam forged by this seemingly affectionate man. The audience doubted everyone, but did not suspect He Fei, who dictated the story before and after Li Muzi's disappearance.
And the reason why He Fei can deceive the audience is not because of how high-energy the plot is, but because actor Zhu Yilong's performance is too convincing.
In the fragments of memories, Zhu Yilong is full of friendly and kind aura. He Fei saved Li Muzi's life while diving, and after falling in love at first sight, he began to pursue, impressed Li Muzi with romantic literature and persistence, and also moved the audience in front of the screen.
At this time, Zhu Yilong's eyes were full of affection, and his eyes when he looked at Li Muzi were not mixed with any impurities. The point is that when looking for the disappeared Li Muzi, Zhu Yilong's panic and worry were all so real.
When the police didn't believe He Fei, he was chained to the ground, and Zhu Yilong's state collapsed helplessly, the corners of his eyes couldn't stop twitching, and every nerve on his face was showing the character's current state of being torn apart from physiology to psychology.
But such a man who has done enough plays has another face at the end of the film. He sat in prison in his prison uniform, laughing mockingly and regretting it, but he regretted not what he had done, but that he had not done enough.
When the final reversal of the movie came online, He Fei, who learned the truth, really collapsed. And Zhu Yilong in this shot, green muscles burst out, trembling, tears slipped from his tearful eyes, despair and fear took root at this time.
But to be honest, this extremely explosive performance makes the audience even more confused. Starting from the role, He Fei has consumed all the trust of the audience, but from the performance, Zhu Yilong's final scene still makes people can't help but waver, as if the character really repents, this is the charm that the actor brings to the character and the plot.
In contrast, Ni Ni is not the main perspective of the movie, so all her early performances are full of functionality, she is good at reasoning, strong in action, and the character is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the character of the character.
But at the end of the movie, Ni Ni's crying scene is the finishing touch of the movie. This movie full of sin, in Ni Ni left without looking back, grievances and heartache tears, there was a beautiful landing point.
In addition, the shaping of actor Wen Yongshan is also a must. Wen Yongshan in the movie plays a strange woman who returns to take Li Muzi's place, she is pitiful, but also charming and dangerous.
One second, Wen Yongshan is a villain wearing a red dress with a proud and calm look, and the next second she is a poor woman who fell to the ground and pretended to be abused by her husband.
Wen Yongshan in the movie is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off, and her aggressive and pitiful position change also makes the suspense of the movie stronger.
Of course, the reputation of the movie is not something that can be cast by the starring actor, even Zhu Yilong, Ni Ni, and Wen Yongshan are only part of the actors' support for the highlights. Du Jiang, who does not have many scenes, and Huang Ziqi, who plays the real Li Muzi, are very outstanding.
Now it seems that the platform's box office predictions for "Disappearing Her" are actually relatively conservative. With the quality of this film and the hot schedule close to the holiday, "Disappearing Her" is entirely likely to break the 1 billion box office.
Finally, I also hope that audiences who like suspense works will enter the cinema to support "Disappearing Her", I believe that this movie will definitely not disappoint you.
