Chapter 324: Detective Chinatown Released

On June 2011, 6, Wang Hao, who had just finished filming "Inception", finally appeared in front of the public again.

He and Jing Tian attended the premiere of "Detective Chinatown" in their best attire. This is a transitional film between the first and second phases of the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", but it involves an important young newcomer in the decent camp of the movie universe.

The film is directed by Li Kui, a good brother of Wang Hao who has previously served as his photographer. In addition to Galaxy Pictures, other investors include Huaying, Moying, Starry Night and Wanda Pictures.

So there were quite a few people attending the movie premiere this time. Wang Hao and Jing Tian appeared in the second half.

When he helped Jing Tian, who was wearing a white dress, get out of the car and walked into the premiere together, he immediately attracted the attention of the media. Those reporters turned their camera lenses over and pressed the shutter buttons frantically.

Wang Hao responded with a smile, and Jing Tian also held Wang Hao's arm with a bright smile on his face.

Compared to her, although Wang Hao also put on makeup, upon closer inspection, the fatigue on his face was still difficult to conceal.

Fortunately, after entering the premiere, the two of them quickly got seats in the front row, and there were not many segments in the entire premiere, so he was able to take the opportunity of the movie screening to take a short break.

As for the content of the movie, as the boss of the production company, Wang Hao had already participated in the creation of the script as early as the beginning of the project.

After the film was completed and entered the post-production stage, he also watched all the materials and put forward many suggestions.

As for after the film was produced, he and several other film investors watched the finished film in advance.

So at this moment it's really just a formality, you can watch it or not.

However, Jing Tian had never seen this movie. Today was the first time she watched it and she found it very interesting.

[Galaxy Cinematic Universe] This version of "Detective Chinatown 3" is naturally different from the original.

The story is somewhat related to the post-credits Easter egg of "Wushuang". At the beginning, a thin young man is sitting in front of many examiners.

"Student Qin Feng, why do you want to apply to the Criminal Police Academy?"

There was no answer to this question on the big screen. The camera turned and showed a young man lying on the bed in despair.

However, the audience also knows that this young man with a handsome face, immature features, and who looks like a high school student, is the leading actor of this movie, Qin Feng.

The actor who plays him is a high school student named Bai Jingting, who was selected by the crew from among many auditioners through auditions.

Qin Feng, played by Bai Jingting, was rejected because he failed the interview test at the police academy.

Just when he was feeling depressed and frustrated, his grandmother came over and comforted him, saying, "If you fail the exam once, you can take it twice. It's no big deal.

As he spoke, the old man took out a photo.

"It just so happens that my cousin, your great aunt's husband's cousin's wife's nephew, your distant cousin Tang Ren, was said to have worked for him for several years, but his boss ran away with the money.

Recently he found out that the boss was in Thailand and was going to go there to get his salary back.

It just so happens that you are free, and that kid isn't very smart, so grandma bought you a plane ticket, so you can go with your distant cousin.

On the one hand, it's to relax, and on the other hand, it's to help take care of your cousin and don't let him suffer any loss. Ah, be obedient."

After saying that, the photo was placed in front of Qin Feng. As the camera zoomed in, Wang Baoqiang's honest face became clearly visible, and was particularly funny.

Then, accompanied by cheerful music, the camera turned to Tang Ren, played by Wang Baoqiang, and the audience also knew his experience.

It turned out to be a sequel to the previous movie "Lost on Journey" starring him and Xu Zheng. Because of Ma Chenggong's kindness, he generously redeemed the IOU for Tang Ren on behalf of the creditor.

Tang Ren happily returned home with 30,000 yuan, ready to use the money to marry a wife. However, the wife he married cheated on him half a year after the marriage.

In the end, Tang Ren lost both his life and his money. Not only was his money taken away by his wife and her lover, but one of his front teeth was also knocked out during the struggle.

Because of this incident, Tang Ren became a complete joke in the village. Deeply shocked, he ran to Shanghai to work, running errands for others during the day and looking after people in bars at night.

It was during the process of working that he accidentally heard that Ma Chenggong, who had once helped him, was put in jail for illegal operation.

Knowing that his benefactor was now in poverty, he happened to hear from his former coworkers that the boss who owed them money was now in Thailand.

So Tang Ren came up with an idea. He wanted to go to Thailand to find the boss to get his wages back, and then return the 3 yuan that Ma Chenggong had given him.

After all, they are in trouble now, and with these 3 yuan, their life might be a little better.

It just so happened that Qin Feng, Tang Ren's nephew, lived in Shanghai and was also unhappy because he failed the entrance exam to the police academy.

So these two people who had nothing in common and had completely different personalities got on the same plane and started a thrilling, exciting and funny journey to a foreign country.

The subsequent story is not much different from the original "Detective Chinatown". After arriving in Thailand, Qin Feng and Tang Ren quickly found Tang Ren's former boss based on the intelligence, and got part of the debt very smoothly.

At the same time, the boss generously invited the two to have some fun in Thailand's Chinatown. However, amidst the cheerful music and after enjoying the dazzling exotic scenery, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

In order to get the remaining debt, Tang Ren follows the instructions of his former boss and helps him deliver goods to a man named Songpa at night. However, he is involved in a gold theft and murder case, becomes a criminal suspect, and is hunted by the Thai police, the owner of the lost gold, bandits and other criminals.

Fortunately, since Qin Feng wanted to apply to the police academy, he had some skills. Not only did he have a high IQ and a strong memory, but he also particularly liked detective novels.

Relying on his own abilities, Qin Feng helped his cousin to unravel the case step by step and get closer to the truth. Finally, he found out the whole story of the case and helped Tang Ren clear his suspicion.

However, it was in this case that Qin Feng suffered the first setback in his detective career.

Behind the murderer who committed suicide, there was another instigator.

And this person happened to be his adopted daughter, a little girl named Sinuo.

At the end of the movie, the two leading actors of "Detective Chinatown" returned to Sinuo's ward, and Qin Feng began to tell a story.

In this story, Songpa begins to suspect and follow Sinuo because of his son's disappearance.

Sinuo also noticed this, so she made up a diary and deliberately let her adoptive father see it. In the diary, Sinuo fabricated that she was violated by Songpa and wrote down the method of committing the crime.

Her adoptive father, because of his abnormal love for his adopted daughter, deeply hated Songpa for violating Sinuo's will, so he sneaked into Songpa's house according to the method of committing the crime recorded in the back of the diary and killed her.

Later, Qin Feng and the other were also involved in this case. Sinuo, who found out about this, sought help from them to get rid of her adoptive father who had a distorted feeling for her.

All of this was originally designed perfectly, and even Qin Feng didn't notice anything wrong.

It was not until he was about to return home that he discovered that the place Songpa often went for entertainment was actually a gay bar. Only then did he suddenly realize the mistakes in Sinuo's diary.

"But the girl didn't expect that the man she falsely accused of molesting her was actually a homosexual."

Qin Feng finished explaining another possible truth of the matter, and then looked steadily at the girl in front of him.

However, Sinuo, who was exposed, did not show any panic on her face. Instead, she smiled and said to Qin Feng:
"You seem to have stopped stuttering."

Qin Feng noticed that Sinuo was fearless, and at the same time, he was in a state of reasoning, so he stopped stuttering and continued to speak clearly:

"Of course, these are just assumptions, and there is no evidence to prove a dead person's sexual orientation."

Sinuo smiled slightly and shook her head in puzzlement, "But I really don't understand."

Qin Feng stared into her eyes for a while, and finally he could only sigh in his heart.

"forget it."

However, just as he turned away with a cold face and was about to leave, Sinuo's voice came from behind him.

“This book says that individual lives are different, but the total amount of good and evil in this world remains the same.

Everyone is destined to play their own role since birth, some are good, some are evil, what about you? "

Qin Feng turned around after hearing this, his pupils suddenly dilated, and a trace of astonishment and shock appeared on his stern face.

Then, accompanied by a cold sound effect, on the big screen, Sinuo, who was originally innocent and cute, had her head slightly lowered, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she stared coldly at all the audience in the screening room with a pair of upturned eyes.

boom!
Everyone present was shocked by this sudden change and Sinuo's strange and evil expression.

Especially since the light in the movie was shining from above Sinuo's head, leaving a heavy shadow on her face. Coupled with her long black hair falling on both sides of her cheeks and that creepy smile, she looked 70% like a female ghost, so much so that the temperature in the entire screening room seemed to drop by several degrees.

Jing Tian, who was sitting next to Wang Hao, was also frightened by this sudden scene and screamed. She grabbed Wang Hao's left hand tightly and leaned over.

I have to say that this scene really tests the actors' acting skills.

Although this smile is actually an imitation of the smile at the end of Edward Nord's "Primal Fear", and Norton's smile is actually a tribute to Hitchcock's movie, the spirited boy at Bates Motel played by Anthony Perkins in "Psycho", but being able to express it and give it impact is still enough to show that the Korean actress who plays Sinuo has good talent.

Yes, because Zhang Zifeng is only nine years old now, she certainly cannot play the role of Sinuo in "Detective Chinatown" like in the original version.

When the crew found it difficult to find a good actress of the same age in China, Wang Hao, the film producer, waved his hand and said that since "Galaxy Cinematic Universe" has the ambition to face the world, there is no need to be so petty in casting.

In addition to Chinese actors, we can also try to recruit good actors from Japan and South Korea.

Especially those young talents. In the past, it was Chinese actors who wanted to go abroad to make money. Why can't it be young Japanese and Korean actors who are eager to come to China to film in the future?

With this idea in mind, the crew contacted South Korea's CJ Entertainment, and actually found a good talent, the famous artist Kim Da-mi.

Although the 15-year-old girl has never learned acting, she has loved watching movies and TV series since she was a child. She also has a special feeling for the profession of actor and has wanted to become an actor since high school.

So after hearing about the Galaxy Cinematic Universe's "Detective Chinatown" audition for the female lead, she boldly signed up, passed multiple rounds of selection, and finally won the role of Sinuo.

In order to play this role well, she even spent a lot of energy learning Chinese and Mandarin. The lines in "Detective Chinatown" this time are her own voice, and there is no sound abnormal at all.

And now the reaction of the audience on the scene also proves that the "Detective Chinatown" crew made the right choice this time.

Wang Hao could only sigh that the world is wonderful. He assigned "The Witch" which originally belonged to Kim Da-mi to Song Zue, but he did not expect that this person would enter the crew of "Detective Chinatown" by accident. This is really fate.

Because of this incident, he even changed the ending easter egg of "Detective Chinatown".

This is exactly what is being played on the big screen at this moment.

In the first post-credits scene, Qin Feng and his distant cousin Tang Ren finally returned to China safely.

However, just after they got off the plane and walked out of the airport hall, a black SUV stopped in front of the two of them, and then two burly men in official uniforms grabbed the detective duo without saying a word.

Faced with this sudden change, Tang Ren naturally fought back hard. In comparison, Qin Feng was much calmer.

Because he recognized the person sitting in the car. It was Shi Qiang, who he had dealt with before and claimed to be an agent of the Special Affairs Department.

"Secretary Shi, I...I...I obeyed the law this time...I didn't do anything bad."

Qin Feng spoke a little nervously, and Tang Ren also noticed the police uniform on the other party and stopped resisting and struggling.

"Yes, we are absolutely innocent. The police in Thailand have already investigated everything."

Shi Qiang looked at the strange combination of one tall and one short, one fair and one dark in front of him, and couldn't help but laugh, then waved his hand indifferently.

"Things in Thailand are not our business, Qin Feng. We came to you this time because we have other matters."

"What...thing?" Qin Feng asked hurriedly, with a barely perceptible hint of anticipation in his tone.

And Shi Qiang's words indeed confirmed his guess.

"Haven't you always wanted to commit a perfect crime?
As it happens, we have a covert operation this time, and we need your wisdom."
