Interesting and useless people doing interesting and useless things.
After a lapse of two years, Tang Tan 3 returned to his field of vision and brought people back to the eager discussion about "Who is Q?" Qin Feng's character trend is also one of the suspense left by the film because of "gazing into the abyss". Two years have passed and not long ago, but for a movie, it is rare to keep the heat and mobilize the adrenaline of the audience.
's remarkable international performance lineup
"Chinatown Detective" has launched two parts, and it has become one of its own: Tang Ren and Qin Feng are a typical combination of dual opposition, the former acts as a comedy function, and the latter is responsible for solving the case. At the same time, it satisfies the partner mode in comedy and detective films, which is very cordial; and the shock of plot reversal and the ambiguity maintained by the open ending, through these ingenious designs, the combination is also surprising . Although he is a junior in the detective pedigree, his appeal should not be underestimated. "Detective Chinatown 3" invited all-star lineups including his wife Mu Cong, Tony Jia, Miura Yuka, Nagasawa Masami, Asano Tadanobu, Zhang Zifeng, Shang Yuxian and others to join. Not only are they well-known to Chinese audiences, they are also truly capable actors. We look forward to seeing these familiar faces on the big screen, and we look forward to the wonderful rivalry between the stars.
Self-transcendence of reasoning comedy
The "Detective Chinatown" series uses a comedy shell to wrap the reasoning core, successfully expanding the genre boundary of domestic movies. The first part shows the director’s desire and ambition to express, and the second part embeds multiple elements such as Beijing rhyme, satire, yin and yang, five elements, and tribute to classical reasoning based on the structure of the first part. The audience is still embracing the work. When he was amazed by the amount of information and imagination, the story of "Detective Chinatown 3" had already happened quietly.
The jokes in the film and television works of Japanese reasoning are almost nonsensical in terms of line design and performance. In "Legal High" and "Okawabata Detective Agency", daily life seems to be off-line, and the image of a detective who solves a case is also superb. Deep into the hearts of the people. The unruly and absurd reasoning process and means of reasoning leave free and flexible space for puzzle setting and solving, but also for comedy and ease the rhythm of narration. In the "Detective Chinatown" series, the rigor of reasoning and the appeal of comedy are mutually restricted to achieve a balance, which is similar to the way the Japanese reasoning drama handles the jokes. "Chinatown Detective 3" based in Tokyo, how to better grasp the comedy's proportions in rigorous reasoning, and what inspiration will be drawn from the stylized Japanese comedy elements are all awaiting.
The Tokyo Tour of the Law of Reasoning
developed from the Honkaku school to the New Honkaku school and the new social school, from the famous Edogawa Ranbu, to the "Kanaichi" written by Masashi Yokozo, "Points and Lines" by Matsumoto Kiyohashi, and island From "Astrological Killing Magic" by Gazoji to the well-known Keigo Higashino, Japanese mystery novels have been both ideological and artistic, and continue to export their values and influence. The location of "Detective Chinatown 3" in Tokyo will inevitably make domestic reasoning fans excited. "Detective Chinatown 2" through the "Three Symptoms of MacDonald", "Lokard Material Exchange Principle", "Quin Manuscript" and many other detectives, greatly increased the interpretability of the film, what Japanese style will be in the Tokyo story The reasoning egg, whether the film will pay tribute to a certain reasoning faction or icon character, is even more exciting.
In addition, although the story of "Detective Chinatown 2" takes place in New York, it still grasps the overall Chinese style of the film through the intervention of Chinese elements such as Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. If the combination of Chinese elements and Western logical reasoning is a kind of mashup, then you can expect fusion and spark between Chinese elements and Japanese reasoning. One view is that Japanese mystery novels originated from Chinese koan novels, so what kind of fun will be developed by the intersection of Chinese and Japanese cultures? Will there be the Biange School to create wonders with the mysterious elements of China?
Entering the city of reasoning also means accepting strict scrutiny, which also shows"Detective Chinatown 3" has full confidence in the plot. I believe that the audience's expectations for it will not fail.
An immersive puzzle-solving experience
"Detective Chinatown 3" was filmed with IMAX cameras in its entirety. It is the fourth film in the world to be filmed using this technology in its entirety. It applies large-scale filming technology to comedy reasoning. It is undoubtedly a confident and bold attempt. In terms of perception, the visualization of Qin Feng’s reasoning process in "Detective Chinatown 2" is full of imagination. The new film will be enhanced by IMAX with audiovisual and emotional feelings, ready for immersive experience!
First of all, IMAX's screen-to-frame ratio expands more space for the picture, and the audience can obtain richer picture information from it; secondly, the resolution and dynamic range of the IMAX camera are extremely high, and the capture of light and color is more accurate; In addition, IMAX emphasizes the aesthetics produced by deep focus photography and deep focus scheduling, which can be easily achieved by placing characters in multiple scenes near, middle, and far at the same time, or when multiple actors get together. Switching of the audience's sight and attention. The above points provide great advantages for the presentation of details, the communication of character expressions, and the creation of atmosphere. They are also powerful weapons for expressing the multiple relationships and inner activities of characters, and realize the surprise advancement of reasoning comedy in the form of expression. The small note in
fortune cookies
"Chinatown Detective" series choose comedy as the type of reasoning, it is also a necessity. Comedy films want to make the audience laugh, but they don't want them to pass by. The elements of comedy must rely on the existence of the story, and the story itself must be worth exploring and leaving an aftertaste. Mystery novels focus on human nature and have a sad background. This kind of narrative style of "I'll tell you a joke, don't cry" not only teases the audience's laughter nerves, but also touches the audience's stamina. Just like eating a fortune cookie, you can still keep the small note inside.
Japanese mystery novels can be described as the ultimate contradiction between good and evil, the coexistence of reason and emotion, the evolution and blending between "primitive" and "social" factions, that is, the different emphasis between performance skills and social criticism. Keigo Higashino has many fans in China, and he also benefits from his description and analysis of ordinary people and interpersonal relationships. Judging from the trend of the first two "Detectives in Chinatown", the shift from the original reasoning to the socialist reasoning will focus more on the scrutiny of human nature. In the words of the director, what he wants to express is not so much between good and evil. The boundary of "Chinatown Detective" can be said to be the reality of the interdependence of good and evil—this authorship under layers of clothing can also be called the artistic expression of the "Detective Chinatown" series. Come to think of it, Tokyo’s fertile ground of reasoning is bound to enrich the story and make its intentions more vital.
