Chapter 409 We still have to think of a way
In the next few days, the crew of "Detective Chinatown 2" continued to travel around the country for roadshows. The constant good news lifted everyone's spirits, and the original hard work became insignificant.
On Friday, the second day of the release of [Detective Chinatown 2], the film took in 234 million yuan at the box office with 42% of the screenings, continuing to lead the domestic film market and still being the national single-day box office champion of the day.
After two days of release and more than ten days of previews, the film’s reputation has further grown.
The Douban score is 7.3, and countless viewers who have watched the movie gave it positive reviews, including fans of Gu Wei and Liu Yifei, but more are just passers-by fans of the movie.
Whether it is Weibo's official website, Douban's comment section, or ticket purchasing platforms such as Maoyan, the ratings and reviews from countless viewers have kept the popularity of "Detective Chinatown 2" rising.
It's unexpectedly good! It's the most logical comedy and the funniest detective film. It not only made me laugh, but also had that touch of suspense and tension you'd expect from a detective film. It's both hilarious and suspenseful, leaving a lasting impression. It's definitely a conscientious domestic production.
This is a combination of detective and comedy, with a strong detective style and well-timed jokes. The plot is intertwined, and many of the seemingly confusing points are actually layered and intricate, leaving one puzzled. The story is well-told, and the actors are all good. I really enjoyed this movie and had a great time watching it. I'm planning to watch it again.
The Detective Chinatown series is truly amazing! I'm looking forward to the third installment! Liu Yifei is so beautiful, even my younger sister, Xiaosen, fell head over heels for her! The movie is so hilarious, the theater was filled with laughter!
Gu Wei is very handsome, and Wang Baoqiang is very funny. The two of them work together seamlessly, contributing an extremely excellent movie to everyone. Looking forward to the third part! !
[It's incredibly good! This is the best Chinese film I've ever seen. My previous favorite was Lost in Thailand, but this one is even better! If the tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm HelloKTV!]
[All the elements are excellent. Gu Wei's works are so good, how can other young actors survive? Wang Baoqiang finally gave his best performance, and the several rounds of reversals were very good!]
Liu Yifei's police role is so cool, but it's a pity that she has so few scenes. I beg Gu Wei and Liu Yifei to make a love movie together. I really like their looks!
Nazha's role was the real surprise. Rather than Liu Yifei being the female lead, I felt Nazha was more like her. She and Gu Wei's "Qin Feng" were also the official couple. Nazha's "KIKO" was so cool, a super beautiful 2D girl, like she came straight out of a comic book!
[I agree. Nazha's "KIKO" is beautiful and cool, and she's a perfect match for the young detective's "Qin Feng." I hope to see her in the third part!]

The film's extremely high reputation and increasing popularity have made the box office soar.
After Friday, it’s the first two days of the weekend.
The screening schedule of [Detective Chinatown 2] has increased slightly again, achieving exaggerated results of 334 million and 328 million respectively.
With a total box office of 1.144 billion yuan in the first four days of its release, "Detective Chinatown 2" became a complete hit.
In the past two days, Gu Wei's mobile phone has been constantly receiving congratulatory calls and text messages from various film partners and Gu Wei's own friends.
"Haha~ Mr. Zhang, you are too kind. Without everyone's cooperation and support, [Detective Chinatown 2] wouldn't have achieved the current results.
We still have to keep up the good work. I think the movie still has great box office potential in the next two weeks.
Okay, it’s a pleasure working with you. I’ll go back to Beijing and find Mr. Wang so we can celebrate.”
After hanging up the phone with Zhang Genming, CEO of Wanda Films, Gu Wei felt quite complacent for a moment.
"Detective Chinatown 2" surpassed the total box office of the first film in the first week. Although he had expected this before, he was still extremely excited when it actually happened.
As he directed and starred in the "Detective Chinatown" series, and the company invested in the film, the huge sales of the movies brought him huge benefits. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune.
Moreover, this is just the beginning. The second week is August 1st, and there is still a whole month until the end of summer vacation. He himself doesn't know what the final landing point of this movie will be.
"Maybe it can surpass The Mermaid and become the new domestic box office champion!"
Before this year, the domestic box office champion was Gu Wei's "Monster Hunt", but in just half a year it was snatched away by the suddenly released "The Mermaid".
Gu Wei knows that when "Wolf Warrior 2" is released next year, the championship will sooner or later return to his pocket, but if he can win it with "Detective Chinatown 2", he will be even happier.
At this time, the roadshow team had arrived in Hangzhou. After traveling to several cities for several days, everyone looked a little tired, but because of the box office results of the first week, everyone in the team was very excited.
After a day of running around, no matter how tiring it is, I check the day's box office results on my phone and immediately feel refreshed as if I had taken medicine.
"Mom, don't worry about me. My schedule has been quite busy these days, but I'm not too tired.
Have you looked at the box office? It exceeded 1 billion in the first week. I feel that this movie will become the best-performing one in my film career.
Gu Wei said we can rest after another week of running, so we can return to the capital next week."
After finishing an event, several members of the crew were resting in the lounge provided by the organizer. Gu Wei was outside communicating with the publicity and promotion staff about itinerary and time issues, and Liu Yifei received a call from her mother.
Liu Yifei did not expect the explosive performance of "Detective Chinatown 2" in the first week after its release.
She knew that Gu Wei's films had always performed very well, with the highest-grossing film, "Monster Hunt," even grossing 2.6 billion.
But she felt that the film might have had an advantage because of its subject matter.
In her mind, "Detective Chinatown 2" will be better than the first one, but at most it will only reach a box office of over 1 billion.
She never expected that it would reach over 1 billion in the first week. Looking at the situation, 2 billion would be easy. As for whether it could reach 3 billion in the future, she didn't even dare to think about it.
Liu Yifei is usually very serious about acting, but her years of failure have made her have little confidence in herself.
Before the release of "Detective Chinatown 2", her highest-grossing film was "The Sword of the Assassin" starring Gu Wei, which grossed 226.8 million yuan, followed by the first "The Four" with 200 million yuan.
The rest only have over 100 million, or even tens of millions. For example, "The Legend of White Ghost: The Desperate Escape" released last year only had a pitiful 24.16 million.
The super high box office performance of "Detective Chinatown 2" was completely beyond her imagination.
It's like a person who is used to eating radishes and cabbages, suddenly being given a full banquet. He will feel physically and mentally uncomfortable.
Liu Xiaoli, who was far away in Beijing, had the same feeling as her.
Since the promotion of "Detective Chinatown 2" began, Liu Xiaoli has been checking the news about the movie online every day. After the movie was released, she even checked the real-time box office several times a day.
She felt that the best decision she had made in recent years was agreeing to Liu Yifei's role in "The Blade of the Assassin" in 2012.
Originally, it was purely out of respect for China Film Group that I joined the crew of a new director and worked with Gu Wei, a completely new actor.
But I didn’t expect that Gu Wei’s subsequent development would soar like a rocket.
Whether it is his acting career or company development, he is unstoppable. In just a few years, he has become a giant in the domestic entertainment industry.
She was glad that Liu Yifei had always maintained a good relationship with Gu Wei, otherwise how could her daughter get such a top-tier domestic entertainment project as "Detective Chinatown 2"?
"How can netizens still say that all the movies starring Yifei lose money?"
In the big villa in Beijing, after Liu Xiaoli hung up the phone, she looked at her phone and thought, with a happy smile on her face.
"Should we talk to Yifei again and try to improve our relationship with Gu Wei?
I promised her before that I would not mention this matter again. Will it make her feel rebellious?
Forget it, let’s not mention it.
Otherwise, when she comes back, ask her to invite Gu Wei to dinner to express her gratitude. This will help them get closer, and Yifei won't object."
Liu Xiaoli had always had a good impression of Gu Wei and had mentioned it to Liu Yifei several times before, suggesting that they could develop a deeper relationship.
However, the matter was dropped because the daughter repeatedly emphasized that they were just friends.
Now the facts have proved that Gu Wei has indeed been of great help to Liu Yifei in her career, and her heart is eager to move again.
After all, high-quality men like Gu Wei who are rich, well-resourced, young and handsome are extremely rare. He is definitely the diamond bachelor of the domestic entertainment industry.
In her eyes, Gu Wei and her daughter were a perfect match made in heaven.
If the two of them are really together, then Liu Yifei will not have to worry about film and television resources in the future!
