Chapter 453 Gong Man Fever
For the first time, Chinese audiences deeply experienced the feeling of following weekly updates.

Especially since it's a detective drama, it's really suspenseful.

But it also has its advantages. Over a period of a month, the popularity of "Lin Mo" has been rising steadily and the amount of discussion has remained high.

Countless self-media took the opportunity to analyze the murderer, the modus operandi, and the language of the camera, taking advantage of the popularity and continuing to create popularity for "Lin Mo".

With such a large-scale participation, some people are sure to have guessed the truth, but this will not reduce the audience's enthusiasm for following the drama.

In the fourth episode, "Lin Mo" exceeded 10 million clicks as soon as it was released online. Countless viewers were afraid of being spoiled and watched the update as soon as possible.

In this episode, Lin Mo finally found out all the truth——

The victim, A Shui, is successful in her career and wealthy, and wants to divorce her husband Qin Jun.

So, Qin Jun and A Shui's best friend A Wen conspired together, pretending to have seen a ghost, and murdered A Shui for her money and life.

Lin Mo cracked all the methods of pretending to encounter ghosts one by one, leaving only the last one, which is also the core of the murder case -

The surveillance video captured A Shui walking out of the house and jumping off the roof, and his dead body was found at the bottom of the building.

Isn't this suicide?
"She didn't commit suicide." Lin Mo was very sure.

His partner, policewoman Sasha, couldn't help but ask, "Solve the mystery, Teacher Lin."

This line of dialogue is quite symbolic of classical reasoning, representing that all the evidence has been given, and now it’s time for reasoning.

Some mystery fans immediately paused the video and made the final deduction with great interest, while most of the audience continued to watch.

The same was true for Li Wenshi. After watching the first episode, she couldn't wait to ask Su Zhe for the truth and for spoilers.

However, the abominable senior brother only responded to her with a series of smiling faces, which was still funny!
This made her extremely curious. Like ordinary viewers, she followed the show for a month and finally got the truth. She couldn't wait even for a moment and continued watching the show seriously.

Lin Mo finally gave the answer——

Awen hid in the closet and was sent to Ashui's house by the workers. When Ashui took medicine and fell into a coma, Awen came out of the closet, disguised as Ashui, and went to the rooftop to dance.

This is the truth behind Ah Shui’s dancing captured in the surveillance video.

After finishing the dance, Awen jumped from the rooftop to the terrace below. At the same time, Qin Jun threw the unconscious Ashui off the balcony, completing the substitution, as if it was Ashui who jumped off the building.

When Lin Mo said this, Sasha finally understood, and Li Wenshi also suddenly realized:

"I see!"

The comments were even more dense:

【Too high energy! 】

[Fuck, this is such a clever design. If the black dog hadn't bitten the enemy and wouldn't have let go, these two would have succeeded.]

[It's so scary, I got goosebumps all over my body. ]

The most outstanding aspect of the online drama "Lin Mo" (Detective Chinatown), apart from the cases, lies in its art design and camera language.

The overall dark and gloomy art style, coupled with the weird camera language, creates an extremely depressing atmosphere.

The special effects are also quite unique.

Compared with the movie "Detective Chinatown", Qin Feng's thought process, shown by the special effects of the memory palace, is extremely grand and spectacular, which is consistent with the commercial blockbuster temperament of the movie.

But in the web drama, Lin Mo's thought process is presented through conversations with the deceased and restoration of the death scene, which is full of weirdness and also matches the dark art style.

So during Lin Mo's decryption process, the audience not only heard the truth, but also saw the extremely dark process of the murder. No wonder they felt goose bumps.

After the fourth episode, Douban's rating instantly reversed and rose directly to 8.1 points:
[Oh my god, this kind of quality is so rare in domestic dramas. Compared with the somewhat farcical "Tang Detective", I actually prefer "Lin Mo". ]

[Of course I love Qin Feng more, but I'm sorry, I still prefer the style of "Lin Mo". That kind of repression and madness, coldness and rationality, is more suitable for murder cases! ]

[Compared to "Detective Conan" and "Unnatural Death", "Lin Mo" is the real Tang Detective Universe series. Even the introduction of the opening is consistent: All the evil deeds I have committed in the past are due to the endless greed, anger and ignorance. - "Avatamsaka Sutra"]

In its previous life, the online drama "Detective Chinatown" was well received, and its ratings were only dragged down by the cases in the last four episodes. However, the first four episodes, "Dance of the Mandala", were the highest-rated cases.

Su Zhe even felt that if this case was made into a movie, it would probably make a lot of money at the box office.

Although it was a bit of a waste as a web drama, it also accumulated a lot of word-of-mouth for the Detective Chinatown series, which made the very bad "Detective Chinatown 3" break the million yuan box office on the first day.

Therefore, in this life, the reviews for "Detective Lin Mo" were terrifyingly high. If it weren't for the malicious low rating given to it on a weekly basis, the Douban score would probably be even higher.

This makes the audience look forward to the second case even more:

[Before watching the fourth episode, I had already decided not to get into the second case and wait until the end before watching it, but I couldn’t help it! ]

[Damn you for cutting off the chapter! Lin Mo left a suspense, will the next episode tell about his life story? ]

[I am really curious about this man! What on earth has he been through? Why did Sasha say that he used to do dirty work?]

Seeing these comments, Li Wenshi was very proud:

"Hehe, I know. I don't need to keep up with the latest updates. Hahaha!"

At this time, Qiu Jiacheng (Lin Pingzhi) sent her a message:

"Senior Sister, what is the second case? Tell me quickly!"

Li Wenshi replied immediately: "Funny, funny, funny..."

She instantly realized Su Zhe's happiness and laughed out loud, holding her stomach.

On the Chinese Internet, apart from the popular "Detective Lin Mo", the most popular TV series is actually a pirated foreign TV series.

Yes, it's "Unnatural Death".

There are subtitle groups that translate both serious and casual Japanese dramas. "Unnatural" is so popular in China that of course there are subtitle groups that introduced it.

Although Su Zhe still had to sell the film to domestic online platforms after it was broadcast on Japanese TV stations, he understood the audience's impatience and turned a blind eye.

As a result, this pirated "semi" Japanese drama, without any platform for promotion, actually received countless attention in China and even received a terrifying score of 9.5 points!
Compared with other mystery dramas, the biggest highlight of this drama is that the cases in each episode directly address social issues, rather than simply confronting the murderer.

For example, the cyber violence and hospital corruption in the first episode;

The second episode of depression and collective suicide...

This made the audience sigh:

[Look at the Japanese, they dare to expose the darkness of society! This is the spirit of the entertainment industry. On the other hand, in China...]

Someone reminded him:
[This is Su Zhe's script, starring Gong Man, both of whom are Chinese.]

That person: ...

[Damn Chinese people, they only know how to focus on other people's shortcomings, it's really disgusting! ]

Compared to the domestic audience, the Japanese audience was more shocked and kept asking on Twitter:

[Are the data in "Unnatural Death" true? Are there really only 100 Japanese forensic doctors?] [Is it true that the lowest autopsy rate for unnatural deaths is only 2%?]

[Does UDI exist in reality? ]

This prompted an expert response:

[The data in "Unnatural Death" are all real, and the reality is even more tragic, because UDI is fictional, and no one cares about unnatural deaths. ]

This made the Japanese very embarrassed:
[What a shame! We are mocked by the Chinese for our low rate of autopsies of unnatural deaths! The Metropolitan Police Department should all commit seppuku to apologize!]

【It is a sad society where no one is willing to speak for the dead. 】

Of course, there are also Japanese people who are very angry.

This has to do with nationality. When Japanese people speak out about social problems themselves, they will be praised for having the courage to expose the darkness, which makes "Unnatural Death" receive praise.

But when the Chinese people said it, it sounded like a mockery, but the problem did exist, causing many Japanese viewers to be furious:
【It should be banned! 】

[Su Zhe, get out of Japan! ]

But this kind of public opinion could not affect TBS TV station at all, because after four episodes, the ratings of "Unnatural" had stabilized at more than 10%, becoming its trump card.

Besides, apart from a small amount of public opinion, most audiences don’t actually care who the screenwriter is. They just want to see an excellent work, which is true both in China and abroad.

Even the lead actress Gong Man was mistaken for being Japanese, and became an instant hit in Japan.

#Who plays Misaki Mikoto? #
#Gong Man's Works#
Yahoo Japan is full of searches of this type.

Countless viewers have become fans of Gong Man and hope to see her on the show.

The TV station immediately became polite and kept inviting us cordially.

For the sake of the Tang Detective Universe, Gong Man had to fly to Japan and participate in the recording of "24 Hour TV: Love Saves the Earth".

This is a charity variety show that has been participated in by Z Guorong, Uncle Long and others. The most famous segment is the artistes challenging a 24-hour 100-kilometer marathon.

Yes, the program really will be broadcast for 24 hours, and the artists really will have to run 100 kilometers. Of course, pre-recorded content will be added during the artists' running process.

This variety show has a very high viewership rating, which is above 15% every year, ranking among the top ten of the year (including the rankings of all programs such as news, TV dramas, etc.).

It can be seen that Japanese people like this variety show very much, and the audience is even larger than that of "Unnatural".

After Gong Man appeared on the show, most Japanese people finally realized that she was actually Chinese.

She did not bring shame to the Chinese entertainment industry. She performed bravely and competently throughout the whole process. She did not complain at all during the 24-hour marathon, which won high praise from both China and Japan:

[(Wa) Ah, Mikoto-san is so independent in her life, and she is also the Tokyo Film Queen. I really like her. ]

[(Wa) The super female star from China is really generous! ]

[(Hua) Fortunately, Gong Man went. If it was any other actress, she would have turned away halfway through, right?]

[(Hua) After all, I am a Mary Sue, I cannot bring shame to Su Zhe! ]

[(Chinese) Su Zhe is really awesome. Wu Peipei, Gong Man... How many artists has he helped become famous overseas? ]

There is a hidden fact that it is much easier for female stars to go overseas than for male stars.

In Hollywood, there is an iron rule: yellow men are not allowed to date white women.

Even though Uncle Long has such a high status in Hollywood (Lifetime Achievement Award) and has so many fans, he cannot break this iron rule and serves as a cheat for Lao Hei all day long. (Rush Hour)
He finally had some ambiguous plot with Bai Nu in "The Tuxedo", but it failed at the box office and almost withdrew from the North American market.

But on the other hand, it is okay for a white man to date an yellow woman, and it is even very common.

Even though they are both Chinese, during the heyday of Hong Kong films, Hong Kong male stars were paired with Taiwanese or mainland female stars, but the reverse was rarely seen.

Obviously, this is not gender discrimination, but human nature. Art films can be pioneering and exploratory, but commercial films must respect human nature.

But there is also anti-human existence - "The Great Wall".

A Chinese film, but one that lets a white man seduce his own female star? It is said that the producer also requested a large number of sex scenes, which were only abandoned after the national director strongly opposed.

I really don’t know whether to denounce the capital that wants to shit on people’s heads, or to condemn the shocking emergence of anti-popularism.

In short, due to this wonderful human nature, Gong Man became famous in Japan and did not encounter much resistance. Instead, her exotic style added a lot of points to her.

But Su Zhe, who obviously didn't show his face and was just a screenwriter, was inexplicably boycotted——

[Detective Conan, Unnatural Death, Su Zhe has “killed” more Japanese than all Chinese! ]

[It is not the turn of a Chinese person to find fault with Japan. 】

[Is the Japanese mystery world dead? Why let a Chinese person be so arrogant? We are the pinnacle of the Asian mystery world! ]

That's true. Japanese mystery novels are indeed unique in Asia.

Not to mention anything else, Keigo Higashino alone is extremely popular in China.

Now Su Zhe suddenly broke in and showed his prowess in the field that Japan excels in, which immediately made it difficult for them to accept.

Just like we won against China in table tennis, won against the United States in basketball, and won against South Korea by stealing skills, the whole country was shocked!

As a result, there were suddenly countless Su Zhe haters in Japan, especially after hearing about the variety show promotion of "National Glory", they became even more excited:
[We must defeat him in the area where he is best! ]

【Promote our national prestige! 】

At this time, Su Zhe was still unaware of what his friends were thinking, and was working hard on the set of "The Garland".

He had to play the role of Zhao Mengsheng during the day and continue writing scripts at night.

After all, "Detective Conan" is still being serialized, and he has to continue to provide scripts, otherwise "Detective Conan" fans will be out of food.

Unfortunately, the previous life's "Detective Conan" has not yet been completed, and he feels desperate just thinking about it:
"Do I have to write scripts for 30 years and still be a eunuch in the end? I will be chopped to death, right?"

In addition to "Detective Conan", "Lin Mo" and "Unnatural Death" have all been huge hits. The Tang Detective universe has developed so prosperously that everyone is looking forward to him writing a new extended detective.

Su Zhe wanted to say: "It has been squeezed dry, not even a drop left!"

But for the sake of the Tang Detective universe, he could only rack his brains and recall the mystery dramas he had watched.

He has watched domestic films such as "Forensic Qin Ming" and "Day and Night", and they all gave high ratings.

But he would rather copy a less popular mystery drama - "The Darker Side".

This is a web drama starring the fan boy Guo Jing F. It has been filmed for three seasons. The ratings are getting lower and lower, the plot is getting more and more ridiculous, and the behavior of Dark, the mastermind behind the scenes, cannot be justified at all.

But the first season was really great, especially the main characters, who had different temperaments and excellent chemistry.

"Most importantly, Dark, Q, the winery, Smiley, Professor Mo... all have super villains, which fits perfectly into the Tang Detective universe!"
