still remembers that when the cast of "Detective Chinatown 3" was announced a year ago, Xiao Yang's absence made fans feel a little surprised and regretful. At that time, many netizens speculated that what happened to Xiao Yang, who was absent from "Detective Chinatown 3"? Is it really wise for Xiao Yang to leave "Detective Chinatown 3"? No matter how you look at "Detective Chinatown 3", it will be a popular movie. It is indeed regrettable that Xiao Yang gave up such a great opportunity.
Obviously, the "Detective Chinatown" series is a hot film IP in the Spring Festival movie market, especially when the second film has earned nearly 3.4 billion yuan in the box office, word of mouth has been "fermented"! With the good foundation laid by the first two films, if "Detective Chinatown 3" is released normally, it will be a sure thing to get a good box office.
Of course, here to ignore the force majeure of this year's Spring Festival. Under the circumstances, rejecting the "Manslaughter" contract and choosing "Detective Chinatown 3" seemed to be Xiao Yang's best choice. But what is surprising is that Xiao Yang made the opposite choice and decided to participate in "Manslaughter". In fact, if you think about it carefully, we will find that Xiao Yang’s refusal to participate in "Detective Chinatown 3" and the embrace of "Manslaughter" is his choice after much deliberation.
Xiao Yang pushed "Detective Chinatown 3" is the best choice
It is not difficult to find that Xiao Yang pushed "Detective Chinatown 3" and chose "Manslaughter" is the best choice he could make at that time. As the saying goes: "I would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail"! In other words, one of the reasons Xiao Yang chose to leave "Chinatown Detective 3" was because of his role positioning.
As everyone knows, whether it is the first "Detective Chinatown" or the second, the leading actors have always been Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran. When Xiao Yang played the most role in the second part, he played Song Yi, but he was still just a supporting role. Unable to shake the position of Wang Baoqiang and Liu Haoran. As for the police officer Kun Tai, who values love and righteousness, although many viewers have impressions of him, he is not a deeply rooted role. Since
is a supporting role, there are unavoidable problems with limited roles and limited shots. What's more, when Xiao Yang appeared in the first two "Chinatown Detectives", Chen Sicheng did not give him a clear position, and was completely marginalized.
If Xiao Yang goes to "Manslaughter", he will not only have a large number of shots and scenes, but also no longer need to be a green leaf for others, which will be of great benefit to the development of his acting career. Of course, being the protagonist is only one consideration. The most important thing is that Xiao Yang is preparing for transformation.
Xiao Yang pushed down "Tang Detective 3" to prepare for the transformation.
Audiences who have watched Xiao Yang’s works in the past two years will find that the number of films he participated in has indeed increased, but the quality is worrying. Mostly! For example, "Weather Pre-Explosion" and "Men's Crossing the River" are both bad movies. Even the two "Chinatown Detectives" have a high box office, but the reputation is really mediocre. Chen Sicheng also deliberately weakened the reasoning plot of the investigation process, which is the main reason for the low reputation of the film.
And Xiao Yang, after 18 years of "Men's Crossing the River", has been looking for an opportunity to transform. He refused to participate in "Detective Chinatown 3" and chose "Manslaughter" because of his own consideration of transformation. Comedy It is more difficult for actors. In fact, no matter who it is, it is extremely difficult to reach the height of Stephen Chow in the movie circle.
But in "Manslaughter", we meet a different Xiao Yang, a Xiao Yang who is willing to feel the charm of the character with heart. Xiao Yang's wonderful performance in "Manslaughter" is really impressive. It can be seen that in recent years, Xiao Yang is working hard to tear off the label of "comedian". But this process is definitely not simple, and people can't help but sweat for him.
However, Xiao Yang's performance in the film really did not disappoint everyone. Only during the warm-up period, "Manslaughter" had already scored 7.5 points on Douban. As far as online movies are concerned, this achievement is already at the upper-middle level, even the extremely popular "囧Mom" is beyond the reach. It seems that this result is not as good as "Detective Chinatown 3", but it is Xiao Yang's own efforts, not the use of big IP.
Xiaohu believes that many viewers have already watched "Manslaughter". Judging from the performance of Xiao Yang in the film, he is aA powerful faction that is seriously underestimated. In addition to being funny, he does have a good acting skill, and "Manslaughter" is an important step in his transformation.
As far as the ideology of the two films is concerned, the deep-level social ethical value contained in "Manslaughter" should be far greater than "Detective Chinatown 3". Although "Detective Chinatown 3" has not yet been released due to force majeure, we can boldly speculate based on the first two films of "Detective Chinatown" that the film should continue the suspenseful and funny style. It is not that I deny that "Detective Chinatown" is not ideological, but that it is relatively inferior to "Manslaughter" in terms of the depth and breadth of thought.
Xiao Yang has always appeared in front of the audience as a humorous and peaceful grassroots character, and his acting skills have also been recognized by everyone. But a single audience impression is definitely not a good thing for Xiao Yang as an actor. Wang Chuanjun is a positive example. Xiao Yang, who wants to make a breakthrough in performing arts, has to try a variety of roles to broaden his play. This should also be the consciousness of a good actor.
Therefore, for Xiao Yang who is trying to transform, "Manslaughter" with new themes and new fields is obviously more attractive than the familiar "Detective Chinatown". Moreover, the script of "Manslaughter" seems to be tailor-made for Xiao Yang. Xiao Yang worked hard to perform this role and brought him to the audience. As a father, Li Weijie's helplessness in life in the early stage, hatred of judicial corruption, and the calm and calm expression after discovering that his daughter had killed Su Cha by mistake in the later stage are all breathtaking!
Conclusion
All in all, "Manslaughter" is definitely a high-quality work among domestic films. It has made many improvements on the basis of the original Indian version. As a good actor, how can Xiao Yang miss such a good script? Although the voice of Xiao Yang’s return was high before, now it seems that Xiao Yang gave up "Chinatown Detective 3" and chose this "Manslaughter" really It is a wise move. After all, even if "Detective Chinatown 3" becomes popular again, it still cannot be released now!
