was unconsciously amazed. I can't believe that this is a work derived from Chen Sicheng. Thinking of such a perfect work, there will be masters who will guide you. So I went to look for the screenwriter of the film, but what surprised me was that the screenwriter was also Chen Sicheng, which has to be admired. The posters of
"Detective Chinatown" can be said to be exaggerated, which fits the personal characteristics of several leading actors. At the beginning, I thought it was a comedy-based film, but what I didn't imagine was that there was a carefully prepared suspenseful reasoning component wrapped in the comedy coat, and the combination of comedy and reasoning was very harmonious.
"Detective Chinatown" has three main lines as the main content: police, detectives, and robbers. The other two sub-lines are murderers and little girls. The main feature of this mode of film is that it can make the plot more compact, which is mostly seen in police and criminal films. In addition, if it is to be made into a comedy, there will be some accidental meetings of characters on the line, which will produce unexpected comedy effects. "Detective Chinatown" uses such a model, so we will see such a hilarious scene with a compact plot and three main lines converging at the landlady's house.
In terms of comedy, we can see the actors selected by Chen Sicheng to know what the comedy effect of this movie is. Tang Ren, played by Wang Baoqiang, has always been dressed in the image of diaosi, but Tang Ren is not a complete diaosi. He also has a shrewd mind. He not only presents hilarious scenes to everyone, but also offers wonderful actions. sheet. In addition, the veritable comedians Xiao Shenyang and Xiao Yang, as classic comedians, accurately found the audience's laughter, and there was no embarrassment at all. Such a state cannot be achieved by non-comedians.
Another thing to emphasize is that this movie is not simply piled up by comedy, but is conducting a complete investigation under the banner of comedy. There are very few "precision" in domestic crime-solving films, but "Detective Chinatown" is really unexpected. In the early stage, the clues of the whole case were very good, and Liu Haoran's deductive reasoning was also just right. In the plot, there are a total of 3 flips: the murderer-foster father-Sinuo. Unlike the protagonist's halo that we have seen in the past, "Detective Chinatown" is a real scene of a crime in a secret room. Secret room crime is rarely seen in domestic comedies, and such an innovation is very rare. And the reasoning process is also very standard, even we can feel the love of the screenwriter for reasoning, so this is what I said at the beginning, why it is hard to think of the screenwriter Chen Sicheng.
In the film "Detective Chinatown", we can feel the director and all the actors' level of care for this film. The transition of each scene, the measurement of action scenes, and the overall rhythm of the film are very well integrated. And we can see a lot of detailed control, such as Wang Baoqiang’s often humming old songs that show the ethnic style of Chinatown, Axiang’s Southeast Asian style and the Hong Kong style when shooting action movies, even Tu Niu Zhi It is so natural to enter, and even produces a certain amount of jokes.
"Detective Chinatown" is a film with a compact plot and a good combination of various film elements. A very good suspense reasoning film packaged under the cloak of comedy is also a film that can not only meet commercial needs but also insist on oneself. A good film is worth discovering by more people!
