Entertainment tycoon who started out as a director

"Then why did you ask me to come over to see it?" Han Sanpin said with an expression that said, "Stop pretending, young man. I've seen through your tricks a long time ago." He said with certainty, "There must be another secret!"

Yes, there is.

In terms of total box office, "Detective Chinatown 3" certainly cannot be compared with Happy Twist. After all, Shen Teng alone has a very strong box office appeal.

But "Detective Chinatown 3" is undoubtedly a golden signboard, especially the third part, which has attracted much attention.

The box office was booming on the first day.

Some of the things that were crammed into the film made it too entertaining, and its reputation collapsed. Later, the box office was not good, and a weight loss movie directed by the same director at the same time reaped the biggest benefits. But that movie still had a box office of 4.5 billion, so you can imagine how bad the performance was.

Gu Ming even feels that it would take a few years for Detective Chinatown to settle down and improve the reputation of the third film, so that the audience can forget about it for a while, and then release a fourth film, which would still be a big hit at the box office.

But how can I say this now?

Gu Ming could only smile and shake his head, "To be honest, I don't know what the final effect will be."

"But if this film can achieve good results, then everyone will have a good solution when they want to make suspense crime films in the future."

"Oh?" Han Sanpin raised his eyebrows curiously. "'Detective Chinatown', you mean that in the future, when you make a crime film, you can set it in Chinatowns in various countries?"

"Yes!" Gu Ming said, "There are always too many restrictions on shooting this kind of film in China, aren't there?"

"You have to be careful everywhere, and the police can't have bad guys, it's not suitable for them to play."

"But it would be a good fit to move to Telander. People won't be disgusted by Chinese, and the races are similar. If you say there are bad guys among the police officers there, no one will object."

You're not that good anyway.

The jewelry case with Saudi Arabia was jaw-dropping.

In the Mekong River case, it was clear that high-level Thai forces were involved.

It is very reasonable and even a bit of a whitewash to say that there are problems with the junior police officers under you or even with the police station.

"What you said makes sense!" Han Sanpin was able to figure out the connection in an instant.

The bad guys cannot be police officers, and ordinary people cannot solve cases. For various reasons, suspenseful police and gangster films are almost exclusively dominated by Hong Kong films on the screen.

By changing the place, you don't have to worry about anything and can do whatever you want.

"Haha! You have a lot on your mind!" Han Sanpin pointed at Gu Ming with a smile, "It depends on how your film turns out."

"You are quite bold. You gave a film like this to Wang Baoqiang, an actor who used to be a director?"

"Aren't you afraid that the photo will look bad?"

"Not bad!" Gu Ming touched his chin. "When Xu Zheng was filming the movie, wasn't he also an inexperienced actor? How did it end? Actors who become directors actually have certain advantages."

"and……"

"And what?"

"I think Wang Baoqiang has a talent for directing. Besides, he doesn't have the power to make too many changes to the script and storyboard. There are so many experienced assistant directors here, so it won't be a big problem!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore and watch the movie!" Gu Ming pointed at the screen.

The movie officially began amid the audience's anticipation.

The first scene is a back view.

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

"Is this question difficult?"

The scene changed, and Qin Feng failed, and was arranged by his family to go to Tailande to travel and visit his distant cousin.

"Dengdeng, gazing, gazing."

A familiar, cheerful melody rang out, but I couldn't remember what song it was.

In the audience, many people curiously chatted with the people on both sides. "Hey, hey, hey, what song is this?"

“Yes, that song.”

"What song is that?"

"Sounds familiar, but I can't remember the name!"

"I can't remember the name either."

As everyone was mumbling, the lyrics came up, "Time gone, it can never come back."

"The past can only..."

"The past can only be savored!" audience members blurted out, and some couldn't help but complain, "This seems to be a song from the 1970s, right? Isn't Director Gu going too far? Finding a song from more than 40 years ago as the soundtrack for the movie?"

"Wait! Is this Wang Baoqiang?"

"It seems like he's no longer the wooden character he played before! He's acting quite sexy here, isn't he?"

"It seems that Baoqiang is gradually broadening his acting range!"

……

Two hours and ten minutes passed in a flash.

As the theater lit up, many viewers looked as if they were still not satisfied.

"It's worthy of being written by Director Gu! Brilliant!"

"Wang Baoqiang's performance was also wonderful. I didn't expect that he could play such a role besides the silly one. He is much better than that Bao Beier. No matter what role he plays, people hate him! Just based on how much he is hated, I think he should play a villain."

"I think the biggest surprise of this movie is Chopstick Brothers. They act so mean. I like them so much."

"I feel like this movie isn't finished yet! What happened to the little girl at the end? Where is Songpa's son? Was he killed by that little girl?"

"There will definitely be a second part."

“When the second part comes out, I have to go see it.”

The young audiences were all quite satisfied, and some suspense film fans were even more delighted. The case setting of this film was remarkable, and more importantly, it blended suspense and comedy very well, which was both interesting and not boring.

While everyone was satisfied, there was one person who was very dissatisfied.

Xu Zheng, who was sitting in the first row, raised his head and touched his ears, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Originally, he was invited to attend the premiere with the intention of watching a good show.

He didn't believe that someone like Wang Baoqiang could be a director.

Moreover, it would be more in his interest if "Detective Chinatown" was not very good.

Although "Lost in Hong Kong" failed, he kept reading the comments of netizens and realized that the role of a fool should be played by Wang Baoqiang.

Only if director Wang Baoqiang's film fails can he continue to make movies with himself honestly!

Isn't it just a matter of converting the film remuneration into a share? No problem!
But after watching the film, in his opinion, this film will not fail.

At least it's not a problem to recover the cost and make some profit.

Then the problem is coming.

Would a director who had a successful debut film still be willing to work with a director with whom he had a grudge before as an actor?

Hopeless.

"There's no need to consider such silly roles in new films." Xu Zheng sighed secretly. (End of this chapter)
