"Detective Conan" Conan's 26th theatrical version of "Black Iron's Fish Shadow" was finally officially released in China.
This theatrical version can be said to be the best commercial Conan theatrical version in recent years, and it has collected 13.8 billion yen at the box office in Japan, earning a lot of money and receiving rave reviews.
But unlike Japan's all-in-one, the M26 is more controversial at home.
Click on Douban and you will find that although its score is above the passing line, it is not as good as last year's M25 "Halloween Bride", and clicking on the comments can also find many IP positioning in China, but the audience has already made bad reviews before the release.
As for why there is such a "dislocation", of course, it is because of "party disputes".
M26 had been on Weibo's hot search before its release, and the footage of "Gray Yuanwai and Conan's kiss" has attracted countless controversies.
Everyone quoted scriptures and classics, attacked each other, and quarreled for more than half a month, and there was no result in the end.
And now that the theatrical version is officially released, the discussion environment is no longer what it used to be, which inevitably makes people more curious about what kind of movie M26 is.
※The article involves some spoilers for "The Fish Shadow of Black Iron", but they are all Conan theatrical versions, and the spoilers should have no effect
If I were a passerby, from the perspective of a bystander, then "The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" could hardly be regarded as a prominent Conan theatrical version.
You'll have to keep a little bit of a bad joke to know you're watching Conan
The first is that the reasoning concentration of the theatrical version of this work is once again equal to about 0.
The story begins with two new theatrical settings: "Pacific Floating" and "All-Age Authentication".
The former is a large facility built on the surface of the sea to connect surveillance networks in different locations, and can be set up to pinpoint suspects and track them.
However, although this thing is boasting, it can actually be said to have a negative effect on the whole audience.
The firewall of the entire organization can be said to be a non-existent entity, the surveillance video has been tampered with several times in front of and back inside, and the core access mechanism has also been opened to enter and exit at will.
In the end, as the largest building in the work, it perfectly conforms to the law of "the largest building in the Conan theatrical version is a firework", and of course even the means of self-defense are controlled by the distillery, and it was successfully ignited by two torpedoes, becoming the final fireworks.
In addition to this insignificant facility, the appearance of "all-age certification" also makes me feel quite subtle.
Here's how this thing is explained in the theatrical version:
Using the method of bone scanning, the different appearance characteristics of people when they are old and young are calculated, and then they are drawn by CG technology, and then face recognition is used to find people with the same appearance. Just... It's simply a treasure of Conan and Gray Plains!
But just like "Pacific Float", the ability of this thing is really worrying, and it looks very powerful, and in the theater version, it is conclusive that it identifies Gray Yuan Ai and Miyano Shiho are 100% similar, so that Gray Yuan Ai is exposed and arrested.
But he was soon fooled by Shiho Miyano, who was pretending to be Belmode, and he was stunned for a while, and he recognized Shiho Miyano everywhere...... In the end, the people at the winery lost faith in it.
In addition, the biggest use of "all-age authentication" is that the prisoner used it to pinch a replaceable CG face, which is convenient for subsequent falsification of surveillance video......
The menacing brewery at the beginning, if you look closely, there is no one who can even use it, the new "Binga" in the theater version is good at infighting, and the original best employee gin has a little more "sherry" flavor this time.
In addition to the two of them, there are Belmode, Bourbon, and Kiel left on the front line, one wall grass and two undercover agents, and it can only be said that the sky is going to kill my winery.
The eyes of the three knife men couldn't be hidden
When it comes to the core case of the theatrical version, the motive is not said for the time being, and the method is so ordinary that it does not look like it appeared on the set of Conan, where the victim is simply stunned, poisoned, and used "all-age authentication" to make perjury.
In the end, he was exposed by the sleeping Kogoro to confirm his identity, and it was as simple as that.
The theatrical version doesn't have any large-scale puzzles that are suitable for the theatrical version, nor does it feel like a clever murder method, and the usual detection part at the end is also perfunctory......
So in order to watch the reasoning, people can wash and sleep, M26, like other Conan theatrical versions in the past 5 years, has maintained the same level of marginal reasoning as always.
However, while weakening their reasoning, they did not create a famous scene full of "Kexue" like the previous ones.
Although the "Pacific Float" still exploded, the fireworks that broke out were only at the level of tens of millions of box office, far from reaching the upper limit of "Ke Xue"; although Conan's equipment has also been upgraded daily, it is not so ridiculous because of the common sense.
It's really better to kick the satellite
All of the above may be subtle differences in perception due to the number of "Conan theatrical versions" that have been seen.
If you say that you only see "The Ghost of Baker Street" and think "The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" is not good, it is the worst in the series, you can only say that it is true.
But if you're like me, watching Conan transform from reasoning to action movies, and then to comedy films, see that M26 has compressed the exaggeration of the "Conan Theatrical Version" for many years to a just right level, see that reasoning is at least not anti-logical, not intellectual, and see that boring daily life is further compressed and promotes development more compactly...... Then I don't think you will scold yourself for walking out of the cinema, but on the contrary, you will regard it as one of the best "Conan theatrical versions" in the past 5 years, or even 10 years.
However, these unsatisfactory places do not explain why "The Fish Shadow of Black Iron" can be a hit in Japan, there must be something else...... Dongbao deliberately analyzed the box office success of this theatrical version of breaking through 10 billion, and at the press conference, they gave several possible reasons, which are briefly handled:
1. The appearance of the Black Coat
2. Conan's Japanese fans are more mature in age
3. This year is better
4.柯南与灰原哀的Love要素
……
The strong association between the black-clad organization and Conan's main line is destined to have higher exposure in the theatrical version they appear on, and there is nothing to say about the fact that Article 2 is purely geographically isolated, and there is a lot of nagging in front of Article 3 "doing better......
As for point 4... Hey, isn't this going back to the party struggle I'm most familiar with!
From the beginning of the film, M26 emphasized the relationship between Gray Hara and Conan, and then as the film was officially released in Japan, more details of the film were revealed, and the attacks on domestic social media began to increase.
But let's talk about movies today, so we won't talk about trivial things about party disputes, and curious friends can also look for the article we wrote last year for the "Xinlan, Ke Ai" debate, and there will be no more scolding wars between fans here.
It is indeed a "red and black" war
There is no doubt that the biggest selling point of the M26 is the service of the CP pair of "Keai".
In M26, you can see that Conan and Gray Yuan Ai have a tacit understanding far beyond ordinary friends, a general agreement like a couple, the responsibility of people who also bear the same fate, and unreserved and unconditional trust between each other.
Naturally, there is no need to say much about the tacit understanding. When Gray Yuan watched the live news broadcast and Conan was curious, Gray Yuan would naturally hand his headphones to Conan, and when he knew that Conan was "on the wrong boat", he would helplessly tease, and wait for him to come back and ask him questions he knew.
But this is obviously not enough, the theatrical version has been like this for several years, so the M26 once again took out the "glasses".
In the world of Detective Conan, "glasses" is one of the most romantic intentions.
The first time Conan put glasses on Gray Yuan Ai was in episode 239 of the manga, when Gray Yuan Ai and Conan learned the information of the Black Clothes Organization and went to the Cup City Hotel.
At that time, Gray Yuan was panicked because Gin was acting in front of everyone, and in order to appease her, Conan put his own glasses on her for the first time.
"You know what, wearing it will never be exposed. ”
"Oh, so you're Superman when you take off your glasses?"
In M26, Aoyama Gosho once again reproduces this picture.
However, this is not the same as the previous pure appeasement, this time the exchange of glasses took place at the point when Gray Yuan Wai knew that the black-clothed organization came to the door and asked everyone to leave.
When Gray Yuan asked Conan to evacuate together, Conan took out his glasses and repeated the line with various deep meanings again and again, just like repeating:
"You know what, wearing it will never be exposed. ”
Glasses are not a causal weapon, just like M26 complained through the mouth of Gray Plains, Gray Plains Wai, who wore glasses at the Cuphu Hotel, was still caught by Pixar, and he should still be caught.
What's more, when the glasses are used as a talisman by the two, they also represent a symbol of the oath of "must protect each other", so among Conan's many famous scenes, "Conan puts glasses on Gray Plains" is always one of the most popular scenes.
And what M26 fixed was that Conan not only gave his glasses to Gray Hara, but also took the spare glasses in her hand.
As mentioned earlier, the glasses are a symbol of the oath of "must protect each other", and this oath was a promise that Conan made to Ashibara in order to appease Ashi Yuan when he was at the Kakuto Hotel. But in M26, it actually represents "Gray Plains Mourning will definitely protect Conan".
Both men wear each other's glasses
When Gray Yuan noticed that Conan was diving into the deep sea alone in order to determine the location of the submarine, she directly picked up another set of equipment next to her, and without waiting for everyone to react, she dived into the deep sea with him without hesitation.
And the first thing she encountered was the spare pair of glasses that Conan took away when he exchanged glasses.
After that, it was "artificial respiration" that went viral on social media, and then there was "キミがいれば" that had to be sung once in many theater versions.
"キミがいれば" is an episode that came out in 94, and now it can be regarded as the standard of the "Conan theatrical version", and at the climax of each theatrical version, it will sound in various variations, and then end with everything ending.
But unlike the previous theatrical variations, M26's "キミがいれば" has an extra 75-second chant, which sounded when Gray Yuan Wai was guilty again for causing others to get involved in a fight, and wanted to say goodbye to Conan completely, but was pulled up by him.
You say, will there really be fans who are dissatisfied with this moment?
But even if I am satisfied, looking back after the theatrical version is actually over, it is still difficult for me to be satisfied with the series "Detective Conan".
30 years of serialization is still too exaggerated for a work. It's like pouring a jar of boiled water into your instant noodle bowl, so that you have eaten half a bowl of instant noodles and start to taste bland and have a strange taste...... It's disgusting at the end.
Some people say that M26's Gray Plain Wai is no longer the same as it once was, and the Gray Plain Mourning of the past is mysterious, powerful, capricious, and sensitive...... And as the protagonist of the theater version, she has no highlights except for rescuing Conan in the end, and after being captured by the black-clothed organization, she just waited for Conan's rescue like everyone else.
It's true, around 00 was the peak of Aoyama Gosho, at that time he created too many interlocking stories, and painted chapters like the "Full Moon Chapter" that are worth revisiting many years later.
It's a pity that after the manga entered the rum chapter, Aoyama's pen power can be said to have deteriorated, and the flattened treatment and the distortion of the characters can be seen more than a dozen times a year, and to put it a little too much, he may not be as serious about his own comics as "Animal Crossing" in his game console.
That's why I want to cherish M26 even more, because it's not the kind of work that is so universal that it can be promoted to everyone just by taking it out, but a theatrical version that is intertwined with the details of the main story and can make manga readers feel relatable.
For example, the puzzles used to guide the solution of the case are related to the special digital gestures that appear in the manga and explain them, and for example, when Zero and Shuichi Akai talk in the air, they call each other the code names when they were at the brewery.
But the most touching thing is the sentence that Gray Hara said when he was trapped in the submarine and asked Naomi to escape together: "A child's words and deeds may also change a person's life." ”
After the end of the Full Moon chapter, it was because of Ayumi's encouragement that he decided to abandon the witness protection plan.
It was such a simple loop that once again made me feel that time had changed while sitting in the cinema. The gray plain mourning has changed, although there is a bad part, but there is still a good part that changes little by little in our eyes?
That's probably why I love M26, this work has been with many people for a few years, more than ten years, more than twenty years, even if it has become broken now, scattered, and no longer in its former glory, but seeing it skillfully come up with these plots and use these kickbacks, you will inevitably have enthusiasm for it again, full of expectations.
Before seeing M26, after years of torture, I felt that those complicated, obscure, and unspeakable feelings would no longer appear on this set.
But after walking out of the cinema, I found that I could still pick up some of the things I didn't have to talk to, and by the way, I began to unconsciously look forward to next year, and I suddenly realized... How can it be so complicated, I'm just a simple cheap.
