Chapter 564: Easter Eggs in Detective Chinatown 3
Chapter 564: Easter Eggs in Detective Chinatown 3
Since it is a commercial blockbuster released during the Spring Festival, the ending of "Detective Chinatown 3: Tokyo Mystery" is naturally a happy ending.
Everyone boarded the warship back to China. The sisters who had been separated for a long time finally reunited, the lovers embraced and smiled, and the hard work of the wanderer fell into the hands of the right person...
At the end of the story, the light of dawn shone on Qin Feng and Tang Ren. The two stood at the stern of the deck, looking at the direction of Japan that was already far away. Tang Ren asked him curiously.
"Where did you hide that thing?"
Qin Feng smiled but said nothing.
"Hey, you said you were going to meet your girlfriend on the plane, but you didn't even see her. Now that things are going on, it's probably going to be difficult for you to go to Tokyo."
Qin Feng still smiled without saying anything.
Then in the flashback scene, Qin Feng was sitting on the plane, wearing the headphones he always kept with him, and seemed to be dozing off.
Thousands of miles away in Tokyo, Su Xiaolin, played by Li Qin, the heroine in the movie "Bad Genius", received a text message on her mobile phone, and the sender of the message was Qin Feng.
【Please do me a favor. 】
Then, on the subway, the scene of Qin Feng molesting a female passenger was reenacted. This time, the camera finally gave her a straight face, and it turned out to be Su Xiaolin.
It was only then that the audience realized that Qin Feng had sensed from the beginning that there must be something wrong with Noda Hao and did not completely trust him.
Therefore, he mobilized his only network of contacts in Tokyo on the plane, and took advantage of the opportunity to contact Su Xiaolin on the subway to hand over the necklace containing the "quantum decoding system" to Su Xiaolin, and asked her to clear herself of suspicion by falsely accusing her of molestation.
Later, during the trial, he took the necklace back.
As for how Qin Feng contacted Su Xiaolin under the noses of Noda Hao and others?
The answer to this question was given in the post-credits Easter egg of "Detective Chinatown 3".
There are three post-credits Easter eggs in "Detective Chinatown 3". The first one is very funny and short. It is the uncle Cha Tae-sik in the post-credits of "The Witch" who finally arrives at Tokyo Port successfully after many hardships.
However, as soon as they set foot on Tokyo, they received a call from China's special affairs department, saying that Qin Feng and Xiumei were already on their way back to China.
So after a round, the poor uncle ran away with nothing.
But before he could figure out how to return to China, another mysterious phone call came in on his cell phone, causing Che Tae-sik, who answered the call, to look solemn.
As for the second post-credits Easter egg, it was when Qin Feng on the boat returned to the residence assigned to him, took out the headphones that always carried with him and put them on his head, then closed his eyes, lay on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
The next second, the scene changed and Qin Feng appeared in a white space.
This seems to be a square. There are circles with a diameter of half a meter on the outer circle of the square. From time to time, beams of light fall from the sky, and then people like Qin Feng appear in the circles. The overall feeling is like the login scene of a game.
Qin Feng seemed to be accustomed to this. He simply ignored the people who came next to him, left the white square, and came to a reception hall.
There was a sign hanging high in the hall with the words "Earth United Strategic Intelligence Agency" written in large letters.
Qin Feng smiled at the beautiful lady who was in charge of reception in the middle of the hall. She seemed to know him, nodded, pressed a button, and the elevator door behind her opened.
After walking in, the elevator did not make any movement either up or down, and Qin Feng himself did not feel anything, but the number displayed on the elevator changed from "1" to "60".
When the elevator door opened, there was a transparent pipe-like corridor outside. Qin Feng walked up and the camera looked outside through the transparent wall. The audience in the cinema immediately exclaimed "Wow".
I saw a huge tree, shining with copper-green light, standing in the pure white space. The pipe where Qin Feng was located was just a branch of the giant tree. He himself was like an ant, clinging to the giant tree, looking so small.
As for the other end of the pipe, there is a golden fruit.
Qin Feng walked into the fruit through the transparent pipe, and inside was a circular conference room of a medium size.
The walls of the conference room were hung with the national flags of China, the United States, Russia, Britain, France, Japan and other countries. It was almost like a small United Nations, and the seats for representatives of many countries were already occupied.
"Qin Feng!"
Shi Qiang, who was in the core of the conference room, saw him at a glance and waved his hand quickly. Qin Feng also strode over.
"How's it going?"
"Fortunately, I live up to my fate!"
"Then tell me about it."
Qin Feng nodded, stood on the round podium in the center of the conference room, and the first sentence he said caused everyone in the conference room to buzz with discussion.
"Everyone, after our tests, we found that the 'Lord' of the Earth Trisolarian Organization (ETO) is not as powerful as they claim. At least, it is not a 'God' in the conventional sense!"
"Then what is it and why does it know everything?"
"It may not know everything, but we can only wait for the answer from Evans's mind to find out the specific situation."
Seeing this, most of the audience realized that the earphones Qin Feng always carried with him were actually the latest model of "subconscious therapy device".
It was also with the help of this miniaturized and wireless sci-fi device that Qin Feng converted his consciousness into electrical signals, contacted his old classmate Su Xiaolin through the Internet, and even transmitted intelligence information about the Earth Trisolaran Organization (ETO) back to the country for reference by the special affairs department and the Earth United Strategic Intelligence Agency.
Even some fans who are familiar with the Galaxy Cinematic Universe have guessed that this post-credits easter egg in "Detective Chinatown 3" should be a sequel to Wang Hao's upcoming new movie "The Three-Body Problem 1".
They didn’t expect that the Easter eggs alone were such a big deal. They couldn’t even imagine how good “The Three-Body Problem 1” would be.
At the end of this easter egg, there is a third easter egg, but the protagonist of the easter egg is not Qin Feng, but his new "friend" he met in Tokyo - Tetsuya Tanaka.
At this time, it can be seen from his attire that he has been promoted. He is leading his subordinates to raid organizations related to ETO, such as the Black Dragon Society, Science Frontier, and Brilliant Group, and arrest the criminals among them.
Of course, among those arrested was his long-cherished target, the boss behind the scenes who provided shelter for the Unity Society.
It turned out that what Toru Tanaka had not told Qin Feng and the others was that the reason his family had declined and why he, a young man from a wealthy family, had lost blood was all because his mother had joined in and voluntarily donated a large amount of wealth, which angered his father to death.
Therefore, Tanaka Toru has always held great hatred towards the Unity Association and the Brilliant Group behind them. If Qin Feng and others had not come to Tokyo this time and exposed the complicated identities of these people, Tanaka Toru, who could no longer suppress his hatred, would have chosen to take action against this big boss himself.
Of course, what the world does not know is that in the serial murders that occurred in Tokyo, several victims who belonged to the Unity Society actually died at the hands of Tetsuya Tanaka.
Qin Feng didn't say whether he noticed this, and no one else knew either.
However, this incident has passed. In the future, all human beings on Earth will face more severe challenges, and no one will care about this kind of thing anymore.
The plot of the movie "Detective Chinatown 3: Tokyo Mystery" has come to an end here.
The big screen went completely dark and the lights in the theater came on.
The main creators of the film came onto the stage. After about a quarter of an hour, everyone came back to their senses from recalling the plot, and a long and warm applause broke out in the entire screening room.
Although this movie also has various problems, and its overall style deviates from the suspense elements of the first two detective films in the series due to scheduling and commercialization reasons, it is still a good movie.
Especially compared with today's domestic blockbusters, "Detective Chinatown 3" gives the audience a rare sense of solidity, making the audience feel that it is very worthwhile to watch such a movie during the Chinese New Year, and the money spent on buying tickets is not wasted.
This can be regarded as the characteristic of Galaxy Pictures' works. Any movie produced by them is of top quality.
Whether it's the costumes and props in the movie, the picture texture, or the special effects scenes, they are not perfect, but they can definitely reach 70 to 80 points, and sometimes even higher.
The audience can tell whether this movie is really a big investment or not, just like the sea scene at the end of "Detective Chinatown 3", which was actually shot at the "Galaxy Film City" offshore filming base on the other side of Hangzhou Bay, and even used the company's connections to apply for assistance from the navy department.
As for flying to Tokyo for on-site shooting, that’s even easier.
Just from these, the audience can see from the movie scenes the dedication and seriousness of the entire "Detective Chinatown 3" crew towards this work.
As for the support of Galaxy Group's mature film industrialization system for "Detective Chinatown 3", as the saying goes, a good fighter is not necessarily famous for his achievements, the audience does not really understand this.
But no matter what, every little progress made by Galaxy Pictures' works is definitely inseparable from Wang Hao's foresight.
In addition to the quality of the film, the plot of "Detective Chinatown 3" also respects the audience and the market enough. It was completely created by the screenwriter team of Galaxy Group according to the format of commercial films, and it is also perfectly integrated into the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe].
Coupled with the participation of Wang Baoqiang and other stars, and their fully online acting skills, which far exceed those of the popular traffic stars, "Detective Chinatown 3" has become an excellent New Year blockbuster.
At least the audience's applause lasted for a long time. During the interactive session, a large number of audience fans raised their hands enthusiastically. After expressing their love for the actors, they also asked many questions related to the plot of the movie.
This is enough to prove how devoted and focused they were when watching the movie just now, so much so that they discovered many hidden plot Easter eggs in the movie.
Even after the movie premiere, these audiences, while still excited, immediately took out their phones, logged into Baidu Tieba, Zhihu, Douban, Tao Piaopiao and other platforms, and began to share their viewing experiences and recommend "Detective Chinatown 3" to the majority of netizens.
Even though it is already New Year's Eve, the increasingly formatted Spring Festival Gala has long lost its appeal to young people.
In this era of more diversified entertainment, staying at home to watch the Spring Festival Gala is no longer the only option for young people, so the first batch of viewers' impressions of "Detective Chinatown 3" naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Especially those who have pre-purchased movie tickets are paying close attention to this.
After all, as the higher-ups are preparing to clean up the chaos of ticket subsidies in the film and television industry, watching a movie is no longer as cheap as it was in the past two years.
As ticket prices have increased, the public's demands for movie quality will naturally become higher.
Anyway, movie tickets are only pre-purchased and can be refunded or exchanged. It is a reasonable choice to check the reviews of the movie in advance and then decide whether to go or not.
Then they saw the overwhelming positive reviews for "Detective Chinatown 3" online. The number of positive reviews was so large that some viewers even wondered whether Galaxy Pictures had mobilized a network of internet trolls.
However, with the end of the premiere on New Year's Eve and the arrival of the new year, "Detective Chinatown 3" began to be released nationwide. More and more people have seen this movie, and positive reviews have popped up like mushrooms after rain. The online reputation of this movie can be said to be thoroughly solid.
【An excellent domestic commercial blockbuster! 】
【A mature industrial film! 】
【A hilarious comedy! 】
The online reviews of "Detective Chinatown 3" are almost one-sided, with Douban scoring 8.2 and Taopiao scoring 9.5, and a recommendation index of 5 stars. The vast majority of film critics recommend it...
All these factors contributed to the box office success of "Detective Chinatown 3" on its first day of release on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
On January 1, the first day of the Lunar New Year, "Detective Chinatown 28: Tokyo Mystery" earned 3 million yuan alone. At the historic moment when the national single-day box office exceeded 4.3 million yuan, the performance of "Detective Chinatown 8" accounted for 3% of the total box office, almost carrying half of the Spring Festival box office.
At the same time, it also broke many records set by Wang Hao with "Ball Lightning" during the Spring Festival last year. If compared with the performance of "Ball Lightning" last year, perhaps "Detective Chinatown 3" will become the second Chinese movie with a box office of over 40 billion.
Once this prediction came out, it undoubtedly added fuel to the popularity of "Detective Chinatown 3", and also made the leaders of radio, television and related departments smile.
Who says that a cold winter is coming for the film and television industry? Isn’t the film market quite hot? There have already been two domestic blockbusters that have grossed over 40 billion yuan, and the ceiling for domestic films has been raised a lot.
And this is just the Spring Festival period at the beginning of the year. There will also be the summer vacation and National Day period later. Especially this summer period, Wang Hao’s new movie "The Three-Body Problem 1" will be released.
Based on Wang Hao’s past achievements and the groundwork laid by the Galaxy Cinematic Universe over the past 10 years, this movie will inevitably create another miracle for Chinese-language films.
With these two political achievements in hand, 2017 is a stable year for China Radio, Film and Television and China Film Group.
Some people even joked online that Li Kui surpassed "Wolf Warrior 2" to top the box office with "Detective Chinatown 25.3" which had a box office of 2 billion yuan.
Later, Wang Hao's "Ball Lightning" surpassed "Detective Chinatown 40" and topped the list with a box office of more than 2 billion yuan.
Now, according to this trend, "Detective Chinatown 3" is very likely to surpass "Ball Lightning" at the box office. In the future, Wang Hao's "The Three-Body Problem 1" may also surpass "Detective Chinatown 3".
So is this the “Emperor takes turns to sit on the throne, and the champion is from Galaxy Pictures” in the Chinese movie box office rankings?
Some netizens have even started discussing what the upper limit of the box office revenue for a single domestic movie can be.
Can "Detective Chinatown 3" break the 50 billion box office mark this time?
What about "The Three-Body Problem 1"?
60 million?
Or 70 billion?
