is written in front: Micro spoilers, be careful.
Wang Baoqiang leads the starring role, and Xiaoshenyang, Chen He and Xiao Yang join forces. The poster style trailer is filled with a strong exaggerated performance style, and the Southeast Asian killing style is full of pictures. It's easy to think that this is a slightly vulgar New Year's comedy just to make you laugh, just like before I walked into the cinema. However, this time I was pleasantly surprised by it. 2015 is the market for big-screen comedies. Undoubtedly, "Detective Chinatown" has drawn a creative, intentional and sincere end to it.
[If you want to watch comedy, watch the comedy, if you want to watch the detective, watch the detective, if you want to watch the action, watch the action, if you want to find some emotions, OK, it’s okay for you to be sensitive and thoughtful. 】——Chen Sicheng made a beautiful movie this time!
It is a very smart choice for the movie to set the story environment in Thailand. The plot can be set more boldly, and the struggle between the little characters between the police and the bandit can be more naked and ironic. The main line is very clear and clear. Qin Feng, played by Liu Haoran, failed the criminal police examination for a special reason and came to Thailand to find his cousin Tang Ren to relax. He was accidentally involved in a murder case and had to solve the case within a week to find the lost gold. . At the same time, Huang Langdeng, played by Chen He, and Kun Tai, played by Xiao Yang, represent the incompetence, occlusion and arrogance of the police.
Although Tang Ren, played by Wang Baoqiang, still has curly hair, a shiny face, and is full of the diaosi vibe of a low-level villain, compared with previous roles, this absolute protagonist not only has more brains, but is no longer just a funny role. It also brought into play the unique advantages of the actors themselves, adding a lot to the film. In the comedy design of the entire movie, there are vulgar yellow meat jokes, common flip stalk designs, and deliberately buried character stalks (such as Chen He's nose), which are full of laughter and support the first half of the whole movie. Of course, I also want to praise Xiaoshenyang, Chen He, and Xiao Yang's performance. As traditional comedians, they have accurately found the audience's laughter trigger position, and naturally they are not embarrassed. This is something that many non-comedy actors can't do. of.
If the movie simply piles up jokes and ignores the blatant "detection" in the title, I think it's probably a vulgar parody that borrows from "Thailand". The audience's attention to comedy is always limited. The wonderful part of "Detective Chinatown" is that when you start to get tired after laughing for the first half, the plot of the movie is pushing to a climax step by step. Qin Feng, a meticulous and logical young character with high IQ, began to solve the case in detail and seriously, and the director also easily pulled the audience's energy to the big screen again.
There are very few good crime-solving movies in China, so when I see the complete case-reasoning-solving process in a movie in the name of comedy, I am still quite excited. The single clue was buried very well in the early stage, and Liu Haoran's reasoning of stripping the cocoon also has a complete logic to follow. The plot is set up with three layers of flipping. The murderer is from Tang Ren - adoptive father Li - Sinuo, not relying on the protagonist's eyes to open his golden fingers to catch the murderer, but actually doing an exquisite secret room crime, and using Yes, in addition to the low intelligence of the police and the loopholes of modern technology, it is supplemented by human desires, and the motive for murder is "perfect".
In the second half of the film, the main performers are Xiao Xianrou Liu Haoran and the little girl Zhang Zifeng. The characters of young girls in the story are easy to let people off guard, so when the conversation changes, the handsome and sunny teenagers The dream is "to carry out a perfect crime"; the sweet and lovely girl smiles gloomily, and talks about the constant formula of good and evil as the manipulator behind the scenes, which always makes people shudder. Although such stories are not uncommon in foreign crime movies, and the secret room design unabashedly refers to various foreign detective novels, but seeing such a plot in a domestic comedy film, I still feel that innovation is rare. The integration of comedy and detective has been done quite well. Although Liu Haoran was slow in the early stage, he was a little sullen, and seemed to be unable to keep up with Wang Baoqiang's rhythm, but as a novice performer, his performance on the screen was still impressive. satisfy. I like this film so much because "Detective Chinatown" shows at least one attitude to domestic audiences: this is Chen Sicheng's respect for the film.
The intention is that the film also shows the director's little meticulousness in the finishing settings. If "Beijing Love Story" is considered a work that Chen Sicheng is very embarrassed, the director is very naive, but still does not hide his seriousness, then "Detective Chinatown" is indeed serious at the same time, regardless of the control of the actors, The scheduling of the action scenes and the grasp of the rhythm have all taken a big step. The old songs that often appear in Wang Baoqiang's mouth show the original old Chinese style of Chinatown. Tong Liya's vase Axiang is not only beautiful but also full of Southeast Asian style. The slow-motion setting of the shooting and explosion in the hospital has the style of old police and bandit Hong Kong movies, and the placement of Tuniu advertisements Being different not only does not play, but creates another laughing point, and the small people who leave their hometowns and run trains and the police's extravagant style and incompetence also secretly come to a realistic irony. If I said that "Northern Love" relied on the seriousness and the story of the last old man, I gave it 5.5 points, then this time "Chinatown" deserves an upper-middle level of 7.5 points.
Even so, the flaws in "Detective Chinatown" are still very obvious. For example, although the plot design is complete, the fluency is not so smooth and cannot be integrated; some rhythms are well mastered, but there is still a sense of separation in the switching of different pictures (such as the transition from spoof comedy to serious investigation). ); and the provocative part of Wang Baoqiang inserted is slightly abrupt, the director wants to add more things to the characterization, but the timing is not very appropriate. However, for an actor-turned-director, Chen Sicheng has restrained his desire to perform and needs to give a big thumbs up, not to mention the quality is not bad~ Haha.
In a word, "Detective Chinatown" is the most domestic comedy I like in 2015. The director who is willing to respect the film and the audience deserves the respect of more people. Chen Sicheng, well done this time!
PS: Finally, I recommend Li Yuchun's theme song "Chinatown", although I have not heard this song in the cinema, and it is slightly different from the style of the movie. However, the lyrics and music of this song are rare Chinese flavors, not bad!
PPS: Talk about spoilers. Regarding whether Dan was killed by Shino in the end, I don't think so. Given that Sompa is completely gay, it is reasonable to suspect that he has a perverted idea for Dan. Dan and Sinuo come together because of similar family backgrounds and want to get rid of their respective fathers. It became a matter of course. Dan pretended to be missing and took the blame on Sinuo, who then faked a diary to kill with a knife and get rid of his adoptive father. This is probably the real truth that Qin Feng guessed.
