In fact, the original "Tang Detective 2" is suspected of plagiarism!

"Two Children".

Five elements of murder, organ harvesting, spells...these are common elements at best. Whether it is plagiarized or not depends on the combination.

There are unreasonable bugs in the plot logic of "Tang Detective 2" because it copied the concept of "Two Boys".

Many people think that the doctor's suicide in "Tang Detective 2" is inexplicable because the doctor's suicide is actually a Taoist "military solution"!

It means abandoning the physical body in times of danger in order to preserve the soul. The wonderful thing is that the murderer's death actually fulfills the murderer's faith!

Why do you think he committed suicide?

His murderous method was discovered and the mystery was exposed. He became so angry that he simply committed suicide?

It's unlikely, because the doctor never showed any intention of repenting until his death.

A foreign doctor had a Chinese wife who died of a serious illness. From a plot perspective, it would be more convincing to commit the Five Elements Murder in order to resurrect his wife. Why add the detail that he was suffering from cancer?

I copied "Two Children"!

It's superfluous, obviously copying the ending of "Two Boys" where the murderer is defeated and ignoring the rationality of the story's logic...

In addition, it is unreasonable to build an altar in a building within a building in a hospital!

"Two Boys" clearly stated that it was built by a strict and powerful Xie cult organization, which is reasonable. "Tang Detective 2" only has one doctor...

The setting of one person taking the lead in building a building-in-building dojo in a foreign hospital is obviously unreasonable. It is still a matter of copying the setting and ignoring logic.

Why doesn't the logic flow smoothly?

Because the world view settings are different!

"Two Children" intentionally or unintentionally talks about the supernatural forces that exist, such as the bullet fired at the sister turning.

But "Tang Detective 2" is just a mystery and suspense film, without a worldview with fantasy elements, so a similar story line does not feel smooth in it...

Therefore, Shen Changlin deleted the setting of cultivating immortals. In order to resurrect his wife...

In this way, the plot becomes much more reasonable.

By the way, the screenwriters of this film are: Yu Wanlou and Gao Yongge. They have a work "Collected Memoirs of the Republic of China: Love in the Hidden Corpse"...

The plot of this online movie is exactly the same as that of the original "Tang Detective 2", at least it is very similar!

Bringing it back, Shen Changlin asked Shi Shi: "Who do you think is more suitable to play the role of Chen Ying?"

"You asked me?"

"...Is there a third person here?"

Shi Shi said casually: "Yang Xiaomi, Liu Qianqian..."

"That's nonsense, this woman is about 25 years old..."

Liu Chengyu, whom Yuan Shikong was looking for, was the only actress in "Gong Shou Dao" who had a fight with Ma Yun.

There were a lot of close-ups in the movie, and her weakness was obvious: her breasts were not big.

The most important thing is that people develop in the United States!

Shi Shi was a little surprised when he heard that Shen Changlin rejected "Yang Xiaomi, Liu Qianqian": "Are you serious?"

"...of course I'm serious!"

Shi Shi flipped through the script again, and then said: "You can ask Yang Fan, there should be many Chinese actresses in the United States."

"Chinese actress?"

"Yes, your settings here..."

"...Okay, I have an idea of ​​who to look for!"

"who?"

"Nazha...her "Tomb Raider: Origins" has a good reputation..."

Shi Shi hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "But Nazha is an international superstar now. Isn't it appropriate to play a tool man for you?"

…

"Tomb Raider" is released...

With the financial support of Changlin Film and Television, the director can make movies according to his own ideas!

If it were all handed over to Warner, they would definitely make an industrial blockbuster...

It’s not that industrialization is bad. Today’s industrial system in Hollywood is becoming increasingly streamlined and refined!

Of course, there is a lot that Chinese filmmakers can learn from here, but at the same time, their overly formulaic and process-based creations have once developed to the point of rigidity and rigidity.

Warner Bros. is a typical example!

They read a movie script for global distribution. The first person counts the pages. According to the standard format, it is 110-130 pages and the duration is 110-130 minutes. If it is too long or too short, it is thrown away, just like throwing away a resume;

Then count the number of male and female leads, and if they don’t reach 75 scenes, throw them out if they don’t;

Then hand it over to the next person to review the script, check the data and genre, and look at the box office data of similar movies in the past three years. Is it increasing year by year? If the box office is declining, just throw it away;

Then the next person is responsible for counting events (events). The whole film must have 40-60 event turns. If there are too many or too few, just throw them away;

After complex processes like this are completed, the script will be handed over to the vice president, who will decide whether to film it or not.

As for a good movie script, if it does not meet any of the above requirements, it will never reach the hands of the decision-makers and will have been thrown into the trash.

This is why the American blockbusters we see have similar lengths, rhythms, and twists.

Why make a blockbuster?

If you had 1 billion, would you invest in 100 movies at 10 million each, or only 5 movies at 200 million each?

Some people say, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." Spread them out.

wrong!

Hollywood's "successful experience" tells us that you should choose the latter and invest in blockbusters.

Indeed, Disney’s profit data tells everyone: you should make blockbusters!

But Shen Changlin knows... If "Tomb Raider" is shot according to the blockbuster model, it will be the original "Tomb Raider: War of Origins"...

That sucks!

An inexplicable fist fight and an inexplicable accident after a bicycle race lead to Anna being caught.

Then he asked Laura to sign and integrate the billions of family assets. Then Laura said that I didn’t believe that my father was dead and I wouldn’t sign, and refused to inherit the billions of family assets...

The key is whether you refused to inherit the family property or got the relic...

Totally baffling!

The script written by Ryan Johnson is very good, or the villain set in the game is very good!

The villain Queen Yamatai's goal is to resurrect all the dead...

The 110-minute movie, with enough scenes and special effects, looks like a US$120 million production!

I don’t understand that the scenes and special effects of the original time and space are not comparable to our country’s anti-Japanese drama, but it actually cost 90 million US dollars?

After the release of "Tomb Raider: Origins" starring Na Zha, it earned 59 million US dollars in the first weekend in North America and exceeded 100 million US dollars in 8 days of release...

Now one month after its release, the cumulative box office is 154 million, and the total box office is expected to be around 170 million US dollars.

The overseas performance is not bad either. Excluding China, the overseas box office is close to 280 million US dollars...

In other words, even before it is released in mainland China, the cost has already been recovered!

Under the premise of good reputation, "Tomb Raider: Origins" has a box office of 700 to 800 million in China...

In other words, the total global box office of "Tomb Raider: Origins" should be around US$600 million!

This result was enough for Warner to be tempted to develop a sequel, and it also allowed Naza to sign a box office return clause of US$15 million+.

From a pure performance perspective, it far exceeds that of Zhang Ziyi back then!

Moreover, "Tomb Raider" itself is a well-known IP, and it is much more famous than "Memoirs of a Geisha"!

Coupled with the company's publicity, Nazha has become the successor of the mainland's international style - an international superstar.

Indeed, with her current status, if she joins "Chinatown", she should at least play an important role like the villain...

Tools like Chen Ying who only appear in one episode...
Chapter completed!
