410: Oh No, I Was Recognized

The variety show Zhou Lingwei talked about has a bit of the flavor of "The Reader" + "Interview" + "Story Collection", which is committed to conveying warmth through voice interaction and is full of touching in plainness. Google Search Reading

Perhaps compared to the variety shows of acting competition, it is less watchable and controversial, and it is difficult to become a hit, but the stories told by celebrities and the public allow the audience to find their own shadows in these various stories, and also gain life insights in the process of others' sincere emotional expression, thus achieving a healing effect.

Jiang Ge likes this kind of variety show very much. Of course, it must be "real", "unscripted", and "reject toxic chicken soup".

In the sun and sea breeze, they talked about details for a long time until the sun set.

"So beautiful!"

Zhou Lingwei stood up and looked into the distance. The sea was shrouded in a beautiful scenery.

The sea,

The sunset,

The sunset,

Time seemed to stop at this moment, so elegant and wonderful.

However, at this time, Zhou Lingwei was watching the scenery at the seaside, and the people watching the scenery were watching her at the seaside.

Jiang Ge's eyes lingered on Zhou Lingwei in the afterglow of the sunset. Although his sunglasses concealed the smile in his eyes, they could not hide the tenderness on his face towards Zhou Lingwei.

Some people were enjoying their holidays happily, while others were busy with work.

Mo Lan brought the main creative team of "Detective Chinatown 2", director Huang Tao, and starring Chen Lei, Song Ge, and Wang Taiyang, to hold the premiere in Shanghai.

"In the question-and-answer session later, if it is about the character, you can spoil a little bit, but if it is about Q, don't say it." Mo Lan was afraid that they would say too much without paying attention, so she reminded them before going on stage.

"I know, Mr. Mo." Everyone answered in unison.

When it comes to the first big boss Q that runs through all the movies and TV series in the White Night Universe, not only the audience is curious, but even the actors themselves want to know.

"Director Huang, I want to ask you a question."

While there were still a few minutes before going on stage, Chen Lei, Song Ge, and Wang Taiyang came to Huang Tao.

Huang Tao looked at the flattering people and felt confused. He asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Taiyang licked his lips and said directly, "Is Song Yi, who I play, Q?"

Next to him, Chen Lei and Song Ge looked very curious.

It turned out to be this matter. Huang Tao smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked, "Do you think so?"

Wang Taiyang pondered and said, "I personally don't think so, but it should be closely related to Q. According to the script, Song Yi immediately changed his dominant hand when he saw Qin Feng for the first time. So where did the news that he 'knew Qin Feng' and 'Qin Feng was here to investigate the case' come from?"

Chen Lei continued, "Also, when Tang Ren said that Q was the murderer after the murderer was lost in the subway, Song Yi reacted strongly and said loudly that it was impossible. It was like defending him. If he was the highly intelligent Q, he would not have refuted it so directly."

Song Ge added, "Then there is the sugar factory. Q notified Song Yi that something happened at the sugar factory. It was obvious that he was cooperating with Song Yi. Why?"

You can't say these questions without reading the script carefully several times.

Huang Tao looked at them thoughtfully.

The reason why Huafeng's movies and TV series are so good is that Jiang Ge's scripts are good, and on the other hand, the actors are attentive and think through the scripts and roles thoroughly.

You know, in today's entertainment industry, singers, models, crosstalk and sketch actors, etc., all come in to share a piece of the pie. Among them, a small group of people have poor acting skills, but their professional ethics are not good. They let their assistants read the scripts, ask their assistants to check the lines, and find stand-ins to act in the scenes, and only show their faces. What's worse, they don't even go to the set, and use cutouts to change faces in the later stage.

Really, I am lucky to join Huafeng, work with such a good boss, shoot such a good script, and use such good actors.

After sighing, Huang Tao smiled slightly and said, "Actually, what you want to know is what I want to know too."

"Ah?" Wang Taiyang looked like he didn't believe it and said, "Director Huang, don't keep it a secret from us. We will never tell anyone."

Chen Lei and Song Ge echoed in unison, "Yes, never tell anyone!"

Huang Tao said helplessly, "You may not know that Director Jiang rarely talks about the script. He always gives us three days. If you have any suggestions, just say it. If you don't, just shoot it."

Song Ge was surprised and said, "The creation of the sequel was all done by Director Jiang alone?"

Huang Tao explained, "To be precise, the screenwriter is signed by Director Jiang alone, which means that Director Jiang did it alone. If Director Jiang's name is at the end of the screenwriter's name, it means that Director Jiang came up with the main storyline and asked the screenwriter department to expand it."

Chen Lei murmured, "It seems that the only ones named are a few web dramas in the Bai Ye Universe. Isn't that..."

Before he finished speaking, the sound of swallowing saliva was heard one after another.

There is no doubt that Jiang Ge has outstanding creative ability.

But...

They didn't expect Jiang Ge to be so powerful. He had to manage the company, direct movies, and write songs and scripts. The key is that the quality of his works is very high.

At this time, a staff member came over and said, "Everyone, you can go on stage."

Mo Lan said, "Let's go."

The premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2" was grandly opened. All the guests and fans, film critics, and media reporters gathered together to cheer for the movie and chat about the filming of the movie.

At this time, the cinema and Penguin Video released a low-cost movie "Detective Chinatown".

That's right, it's produced by Parrot Pictures, which previously copied "A Chinese Ghost Story".

After making hundreds of thousands in "A Chinese Ghost Story" and receiving an external investment of three million, he set his sights on "Detective Chinatown."

In fact, the filming has been completed a long time ago, and it was delayed until now to wait for the popularity.

And with the money, they increased their budget to two million and hired Zhao Yile, known as the "Southern Ball Girl, North Leg Girl" in the online film and television circles, with perfect figures of 89, 61, and 89, to play the heroine. The promotional poster is hot Tempting.

"this……"

"Come to touch porcelain again?"

"The last word of the title is different."

"Although I know their filming is super bad, why do I want to watch it?"

"Brothers, let me appreciate it for you and take a look at the thunder."

"Are you going to appreciate it? You are greedy for other people's bodies. I just want to say, can you take me with you!"

…

The purpose of Parrot Pictures is very clear, it is to copy blockbusters, to gain popularity, and to attract attention.

So since you know it's a bad movie, why are movie theaters and video websites still willing to show it?

In fact, the reason is very simple. As long as the audience flocks to the counter to buy tickets and food, the cinema will make money. As long as someone watches or clicks on the poster thumbnail, the video website will generate GG revenue. Therefore, whether the movie is good or not does not matter. important.

More than an hour later.

On the other hand, the premiere of "Detective Chinatown 2" ended. Mo Lan and others finished the last promotion before the release and went back to their homes.

On the other side, scattered audiences were cursing, coming out of the cinema, or turning off Penguin Video.

"It's annoying! It's really annoying!"

"Damn, it's my money!"

"What the hell is this about solving a crime? Let's play house, kids, Werewolf is so exciting."

"10 points, if you can cheat, it counts!"

"Why should I go see it!"

"The best thing about the whole film is Zhao Yile's figure and those props that can't move."

…

Absolute 50-cent special effects, 18-tier actors, a terrible plot and embarrassing acting skills are integrated into one, and even many shots were taken from previous movies and used directly.

Can you imagine that "Inspector Chinatown" attracted up to 10,000 curses per second?

Even so, during the three days of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of the twelfth lunar month, the box office was 870,000 yuan offline, and 260,000 copies were sold online at a price of 18 yuan for non-members and 12 yuan for members, excluding movie theaters. The share with the video website has recouped the cost, and even made a small profit of about 100,000 yuan.

The boss and employees of Parrot Pictures were all happy.

All in all, although they released a bad movie, this bad movie provided an outlet for most people, so the harder the audience criticized it, the greater their profits.

——————

It was New Year's Eve, and on Hainan Island, Jiang Ge and Zhou Lingwei's family had New Year's Eve dinner in a hotel, and then went to the cinema.

Seeing the profits generated by "Inspector of Chinatown", Jiang Ge couldn't help but praise: "What a talent!"

"You're still praising me..." Zhou Lingwei pursed her lips, very unhappy, and said: "They are too tasteless. Forget about making bad movies, they actually made copycats, which made many viewers point the finger at your "Detective Chinatown" 2》.

Jiang Ge hugged her waist and explained: "What I praise is their business acumen, not this method."

Zhou Mulong heard their conversation and intervened, saying: "Is there no way to sue them?"

Jiang Ge turned around and said, "They are just borrowing the name of the movie to gain popularity and attract attention. The content is original."

Jiang Yong also intervened and said, "Then, can we start with the title of the movie?"

Jiang Ge shook his head and said: "The words 'Chinatown' are not unique to us."

He said, smiled, and added: "Actually, there is no need to worry. The impact of "Detective Chinatown" on our "Detective Chinatown 2" is negligible. We are not afraid that they will make a bad film, but we will be afraid that they will make it well. "

After chatting for a few words, we entered the venue at the right time and stopped talking about this topic.

"There are so many people..." Looking at the crowded cinema and the long queue, Zhou Lingwei asked: "Is the Spring Festival period the most popular period in the country?"

Jiang Ge nodded and said, "Yes."

Zhou Mulong followed: "In fact, such a prosperous Spring Festival stall did not happen overnight, but after a long period of cultivation and development, it came from scratch. In the 1990s and the first few years of the 21st century, compared with During the Spring Festival period, the concept of Lunar New Year films and Lunar New Year movies is actually more widely known, and the box office output of the Spring Festival period is far less than that of the prime period in early and mid-December. "

When talking about this, Jiang Yong also had the right to speak, and continued: "I remember that the turning point was in 2010. The appearance of "Desert Eagle" that year officially launched the concept of customized films for the Spring Festival. Long Wei's golden signature, Super With a strong cast, the film achieved a box office of 900 million and 11.25 million moviegoers in seven days. Both of these figures exceeded the results of the entire Spring Festival in 2009. Since then, the Spring Festival has grown from a concept and a prototype to a An independent schedule separated from the Lunar New Year schedule.”

Zhou Lingwei said "Oh" and said, "So that's it."

Jiang Ge thought about it, and it seemed that it was similar to the one on earth. In 1995, "Red Zone" was the first film introduced to the mainland in the name of a New Year film. In 2013, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" opened the Spring Festival blockbuster with a box office of 4.5 billion. era.

The conversation of several people attracted the attention of the audience queuing to enter the theater.

They spoke very professionally...

Strange dress...

Peak cap, sunglasses, can you see the road at night...

Seeing the constant gazes coming over, Jiang Ge and his group immediately shut up, lowered their hats, and looked down at the ground.

They checked their tickets and entered the theater, found their seats and sat down, and when the lights dimmed, they took off their disguises.

In fact, with their abilities, they could have chosen the VIP hall or reserved the theater, but they all liked the hustle and bustle, otherwise they would have just played the movie in the hotel room, why would they come to the theater.

However...

If you walk by the river often, you will get your shoes wet.

Xu Dongqing, a new director, screenwriter and actor who came to watch "Detective Chinatown 2" to learn, recognized Jiang Ge, Zhou Lingwei and Zhou Mulong when he looked at the theater environment.

He suppressed his excitement, but when facing his idols and role models, he became more and more excited.

After hesitating for a while, he couldn't help it, and went to the counter to borrow a pen and paper as quickly as possible, and then returned to the theater.

"Excuse me, please let me pass."

Xu Dongqing walked past several audience members and came to Jiang Ge, but before he could speak, Jiang Ge said, "What's the matter? Can we talk after the movie is over? Thank you."

Looking at his gentle and kind smile, Xu Dongqing hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

Jiang Ge had just seen someone coming to the full row and had guessed what was going on.

Xu Dongqing returned to his seat. He understood Jiang Ge's approach and what kind of situation it would cause, so after hearing Jiang Ge's words, he did not continue to ask for an autograph.

Two minutes later, the movie started.

Tang Detective 1 was the peak, and it is an indisputable fact that Tang Detective 2 and Tang Detective 3 have declined in quality.

Take 2 as an example, there are many bugs in it.

For example, as an inhaled general anesthetic, sevoflurane has two important parameters called MAC and solubility. It is difficult to stun people in an open environment when poured on a handkerchief, and its solubility in the blood is low, and it wakes up very quickly. Therefore, the scene where the murderer used it to stun the policewoman is wrong. In addition, sevoflurane is almost impossible to find on the market, and basically only doctors can get it. The fact that the investigation did not start from the hospital at the beginning is also a relatively large plot loophole.

For example, the scene where Qin Feng and Tang Ren escaped from prison, the Indian detective's telekinesis, and the master who fell from the sky when escaping were all too fantastic.

Django has changed a lot. It is not reasonable to say that all the places are reasonable, but at least it deserves the word "reasoning".

Of course, there is no need to pursue perfection too much, because when Tang Detective 1 was released at the beginning, this series was defined as a "comedy mystery film" rather than a "suspense mystery film", and it was not required to be so hardcore.

The audience also understands this truth.

So...

I came to the cinema just to see Qin Feng and Tang Ren being funny.
