Chapter 411 The Routine Boss(1/2)
The ending of "Detective Chinatown 2" can be said to be a reversal and a reversal. The whole movie is divided into two lines of light and dark. The bright line is the story of Qin Feng and others solving serial murder cases. The dark line is Q's identity suspicious point. It uses a suspense plot to attract the audience's attention to the fate of the protagonist. Due to the ups and downs of the plot, the unpredictable fate of the protagonist and the unpredictability of the ending, the audience is nervous, heartbroken, fearful, and even oppressive.
The audience always hopes that everything will be fine. They want answers, comfort, and security, but it will take less than the last second. Don’t give it to them easily. The longer the drag, the greater the tension of the drama, and the feeling that gushs out after a long period of time is the most enjoyable.
Faced with the "suspense" ending, many viewers complained, and for the first time watching the Baiye Universe movie, the audience of the TV series expressed doubts about who "Q" and "Qin Ming" were.
It is no wonder that in the eyes of many viewers, Django's works are the conscience and example of the film and television industry, and can be regarded as a rare clear stream. Such a wonderful film was finished so quickly, how can the audience not be upset?
"It seems that Detective Chinatown 3 is the end of the first phase of the White Night Universe." Zhou Mulong smiled and turned to look at Django.
"Oh... means that Detective Chinatown 3 will assemble all the protagonists of the Baiye Universe?" Qin Yong raised his lips and looked at Django.
"Well..." Django grinned, kept his composure and said, "If you want to know what happens next, let's hear the next breakdown."
"You kid..."
Zhou Mulong and Qin Yong said it at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed.
Although Django didn't say it, this is indeed the case.
Detective Tang 3 will assemble all the protagonists of the White Night Universe as the final chapter of the first phase of the White Night Universe, and will abandon the original version and make original creations.
The lights in the cinema were on and the audience left one after another.
When Django saw that he had recognized him before, he took out the car key from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Lingwei, and said in her ear: "You go to the car and wait for me first."
Zhou Lingwei also saw the man, took the key, and said, "Okay, then you should be safe."
After saying that, he invited his parents and Django's parents to walk towards the exit of the cinema.
"Jiang..." Xu Dongqing suppressed his excitement, walked forward a few more steps, and then came to Django, then said hello in a low voice: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, my name is Xu Dongqing. I am a newcomer who has just entered the industry and a fan of yours. Can you sign a name for me?"
"Yes." Django smiled and nodded, took the paper and pen from him, and signed his name.
"Thank you." Xu Dongqing was very happy. The younger generation in the entertainment industry is the most powerful, but Django has become a benchmark for measuring "strength" in the industry.
"Go out together," said Django.
"Okay." Xu Dongqing replied.
"How do you think of this movie?" Django asked while walking. He said he was a newcomer who had just entered the industry and could just listen to his comments.
"Well..." Xu Dongqing dragged his voice long and thought a lot at this moment. He thought that his status in the entertainment industry would definitely not be short of people to flatter him. If he just said something nice like others, how could he leave a deep impression? So he said: "In terms of plot, reasoning and funny are going hand in hand. The fusion of a large number of Chinese and exotic styles shows the elements of "Chinatown". It is a success as a commercial film, but as a mystery film or a funny film, the characteristics are lacking. To be precise, it is more like using the garment of reasoning to package the core of comedy."
Django looked at him squintly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
However, after saying that, Xu Dongqing regretted it. What is his identity? He commented on the boss's work, isn't he seeking death? He was about to apologize, but he heard Django say, "It's very insightful, are you an actor or a singer?"
Xu Dongqing was stunned.
Is this praising me?
After coming back to his senses, he quickly replied: "I... I am a screenwriter, director and actor, it depends on what kind of work I can take."
Are all young people in the entertainment industry like this now?
But if you are too greedy, you won’t be able to chew it.
Could it be that he is also a big brother with a plug-in?
Django shook his head and smiled, went to the entrance of the cinema and said, "Do you have any works?"
Xu Dongqing nodded and said, "Yes, but only three."
Django continued: "You can vote at Huafeng's recruitment email address and try it."
Xu Dongqing hurriedly said, "Okay."
Django smiled slightly and said, "I have something to do, let's go first."
Xu Dongqing said again: "Goodbye, Mr. Jiang!"
When Django disappeared from his sight, he finally couldn't help but jump up.
"yeah!"
This excited voice attracted the attention of passers-by.
Xu Dongqing's face turned red, he quickly left the scene and walked towards the taxi parking point.
“It’s so nice.”
"Just like the rumor, there is no airs."
"Oh, I forgot to take a photo!"
Xu Dongqing walked while muttering, and when he saw his idol, the excitement of role models could not calm down for a long time.

Soon, the film reviews of "Detective Chinatown 2" were spread all over the Internet, and compared to the unanimous praise of the previous one, this one was a bit polarized.
Professional film critics led by major media [Wang Hailin], [Attack of One Stories, Lin Huohuo], [Zhou Xiaobai] believes:
"It seems that I have invested a lot on the comedy level. The conflicts in big scenes such as Times Square in New York are very effective in comedy, but it is up to be discussed in mystery films. After all, this plot has no logical significance, but it has the characteristics of Hollywood blockbusters."
"Obviously, Detective Tang 2 is not a mystery work that makes people laugh, or a comedy work with a lot of reasoning elements, because it neither writes a fascinating mystery story nor is it sure how much the audience accepts the shit, pee and fart in comedy."
"Not to mention how many people guessed the first murderer, just talking about this forced Taoist setting, it makes the characters very superficial, and the final reversal, hitchhiking killing, has flaws in terms of reasoning and character plot."

Non-professional film critics on various platforms of Douyin, B station, and Weibo [Weichuan Talks about Drama], [Dream Movie and Television], [One Word Become a Proverb] believe:
"Whether the absurd comedy and the serious reasoning, the 'witted' Tang Ren, the 'unhappy' Qin Feng, and the 'pretending stupid' Song Yi formed an effective and balanced opposition, shaking all the burdens out loud."
"It depends on the individual, but there are definitely many people who think it is funny. Even the discussion part of the ending has attracted attention, an ordinary audience who is influenced by Taoism. The film has many elements, full of gimmicks, a large pattern, and no disorderly schedule, no abrupt preparation, a high-quality rhythm, and a mature soundtrack."
"Crime profile, Manhattan's Law, Locar's material exchange... These professional terms that sound so high-end and various special effects are pleasing to the eye. Although the reasoning has regressed, they are definitely progressive and mature works in the domestic film industry as a whole."
...
This night was destined to be debated endlessly.
The next day.
Douban scored 8.0, far lower than the previous 8.6.
In fact, Django initially positioned the Detective Chinatown series as [comedy reasoning], which was to follow the "good and young" style. The 21-year-old young actor Song Ge ran naked on the streets of New York, pretending to be a big shot in a woman, detectives from all over the world showed their magical powers, and the Muscle Harley Party of M Country sold corruption, the cold Asian No. 1 beauty lowered her value and funny jokes, Chen Lei worked hard to make fun of her, etc., all to please the audience.
So, it's normal to give this score.
But.
After seeing this, the rhythm took off instantly.
"Oh, it's getting worse and worse."
"If you can't shoot comedy movies, don't shoot them. Just go and shoot mystery movies and martial arts movies honestly."
"Yes, reasoning and comedy are elements that cannot be matched together by eight poles. There is only embarrassment to force integration."
"And Chen Lei, who acted silly and was not funny at all."
"It is impossible for people to be proficient in everything, it is time to face their shortcomings."
"As I said, don't shoot Detective Chinatown 3, as it will ruin Bai Ye Universe's reputation."
...
The more popular it is in the entertainment industry, the more jealous people will be. No one can guarantee that everyone likes themselves, even Django who speaks in his works cannot do it.
but.
None of these affected the end of "Detective Chinatown 2"'s 28-day box office championship in "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer: Sunflower Book" and won 640 million on the first day.
Maoyan Data updated the forecast data as soon as possible, changing the total box office landing point to 3.6 billion.
"Oh, I'm scared myself. I would have scheduled the first day of the Lunar New Year if I had known it."
Xia Duoyu looked regretful.
Because of the strong performance of "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer: Sunflower Book" in the New Year's Day, the meeting decided to change the new film "This Prince Not So Calm" to the May Day release.
As a result, "Detective Chinatown 2" is not as powerful as expected.
Ma Zhu smiled and said, "Don't forget Django's box office appeal. In addition, this is a movie from Bai Ye Universe. It's okay to get 3 billion, so instead of head-on, it's better to avoid it."
Xia Duoyu nodded and said, "That's right, his film attendance rate is too high, and it's hard to get the film schedule."
Ma Zhu said again: "And, there is something to be happy about."
Xia Duoyu said in a daze: "What's the thing to be happy about?"
Ma Zhu smiled and said, "From "Detective Chinatown 2", Django doesn't know how to write comedy."
Xia Duoyu smiled and said, "It's indeed something to be happy about."
Many directors in the circle are now afraid that Django will break into the category they are good at. The cake is originally very small, so who can stand it if someone is big.

Hainan Island is sunny and sunny.
Django has had a very comfortable Spring Festival this year, his relationship with Zhou Lingwei has become more stable, and his relationship between the two families has become closer.
