Chapter 1069: Chinatown Detective premiere
After the main creative staff of the crew entered, the lights in the screening room dimmed completely, and the big screen lit up at the right time, and the movie officially began to be shown.
Lin Fan turned his neck slightly, relaxed his sitting posture, and then felt a small head leaning against his shoulder. It was Xia Yan.
Lin Fan simply leaned his back against the back of the chair to make it easier for Xia Yan to lean on him. Little did he know that this simple subconscious action would make the girls in the back row's eyes light up with envy.
If the movie wasn't about to start, these girls might have praised Lin Fan and complained about their unromantic boyfriends.
At this point, the movie officially begins.
The first shot of the opening is a very serious review scene. The male protagonist Qin Feng, with his back sitting upright on a chair, firmly attracted everyone's attention.
Through the reviewers' questioning, the audience realized that the male protagonist had failed the assessment.
Then the scene changed, and a nagging voice comforted Qin Feng, who had failed the assessment, and bought him a plane ticket so that he could go abroad to relax.
At the same time, she handed the male protagonist a photo and said, "He is the nephew of my cousin, your great aunt's husband's cousin's wife's family, your distant cousin, the famous Chinatown's No. 1 detective, Tang Ren!"
To be honest, this long list of personal introductions confused the audience.
What’s even more dizzying is that a cheerful background music was inserted, and then the scene changed. The famous Chinatown detective Tang Ren, with a not-so-explosive roll of hair, was in a karaoke bar, singing a song full of the sense of the times in his very “accented” Mandarin.
The audience was first amused by Tang Ren's look, and then they realized: Oh my god! I haven't heard this song before? Could it be? !
The main creative staff in the front row couldn't help but smile: Yes, this is the new song that Brother Fan wrote for our movie, "The Past Can Only Be Relived"! Moreover, the crew has been hiding this song and has never revealed it to the public, in order to give the audience a surprise after the movie is officially released! Of course, after today's premiere, this song will be officially released. But now, it is more important to watch the movie first.
The audience also understood that although Tang Ren did not finish singing the song in the movie, the song would be officially released after the movie ended.
Don’t worry, you can always hear it. Just watch the movie first.
The style of this movie is obviously different from Lin Fan’s previous style. Well, although Lin Fan doesn’t seem to have a fixed movie style - but this time, Lin Fan added a lot of comedy elements to the movie!
Did he join in specifically for Li Xiaodong?
After all, Lai Siu-tung was previously positioned as a variety show star and comedian, and his famous work was the sitcom "Wulin Waijia".
So in order to make Lai Siu-tung's own style more compatible with the movie, it is very understandable that Lam Fan added comedy elements into the movie.
At the same time, the audience couldn't help but sigh: This movie was really tailor-made by Lin Fan for Lai Siu-tung, and it's not just talk. Lin Fan is so good to Lai Siu-tung!
They really are good friends who can form a couple since the draft!
While the audience's thoughts are divergent, the plot of the movie continues to advance.
At the same time that Tang Ren received the news that Qin Feng was coming here, a major case occurred in Chinatown: more than 100 kilograms of gold disappeared, and the biggest suspect, Songpa, was murdered in his own workshop.
However, Huang Landeng, who is in charge of the gold theft case on the police side, competes with Kun Tai, who is in charge of this area, for the right to investigate this murder case.
It turns out that these two people were sworn enemies, and now they are competing for the position of deputy director. Everyone wants to solve this big case first to add merit to their campaign for the position of deputy director.
So when the two met, they started fighting as soon as they had a disagreement, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
Meanwhile, Qin Feng also came to Siam, but his distant cousin, Tang Ren, the number one detective in Chinatown, who was supposed to come to pick him up, was addicted to playing mahjong, leaving Qin Feng waiting alone at the airport until night.
After playing mahjong and losing all his money, Tang Ren remembered Qin Feng and rushed to the airport to pick him up. He also enthusiastically took Qin Feng to the bar and karaoke room and introduced Kun Tai to Qin Feng.
In the bar where everyone was singing and dancing, Qin Feng swapped his glass of spiked wine with Tang Ren's. But he didn't expect that Tang Ren's glass had a stronger spike!
Qin Feng fell down with one glass of wine! Seeing the scene of Qin Feng being drunk, the audience couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, this scene is well received. Not to mention Qin Feng, I, the audience sitting here, feel dizzy. I'm afraid Qin Feng is so dizzy that he doesn't know what to do!"
However, when Qin Feng woke up from his drunken sleep, he found out that his distant cousin who was known as the best detective in Chinatown was actually a liar! He peeked at the landlady Ah Xiang taking a bath. The so-called "big case" was to help the old lady find a kitten or a puppy. The key point was that Tang Ren did not find the lost puppy at all. Instead, he went to the pet market and bought a puppy at random. Then, through pet grooming, he disguised it as a lost puppy to deceive the neighbor's old lady.
Qin Feng felt that he had been deceived and packed his luggage to return home. Tang Ren stopped Qin Feng from leaving, but Qin Feng's meticulous reasoning revealed Tang Ren's true intentions.
At the same time, after the two of them talked it out, they also agreed that Tang Ren would not deceive Qin Feng again in the next six days.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But the next day, Huang Landeng extracted Tang Ren's fingerprints from a previous case, and within a week, only Tang Ren had entered and exited Songpa's workshop.
The police determined that Tang Ren was the culprit who killed Songpa and was responsible for the missing gold case. He was listed as a Level 1 wanted criminal. Huang Landeng also brought people to arrest Tang Ren.
However, Tang Ren received a call in advance that he was about to be arrested, and escaped Huang Landeng's pursuit in time. Qin Feng, who was with Tang Ren, was also inexplicably involved in this case.
The police and gangster chase scenes on the streets of Siam are far less spectacular and less stunt-filled than those in American blockbusters, but they are full of the atmosphere of urban life and are a different kind of fun.
In particular, in order to better fit Lai Siu-tung's previous setting as a comedian, many comedy elements were added to the film. The chili powder and eggs that were everywhere in the Siam market became Tang Ren's tools to fight back against the encirclement.
The scene was tense, lively, and filled with an inexplicable sense of joy.
I don’t know what others think, but the audience really enjoyed the show. There was constant laughter and the overall reaction was quite enthusiastic.
Seeing the audience's reaction, Lin Fan knew that the film was halfway to success.
The remaining half depends on whether the subsequent plot can make up for it.
