Does Chinatown detective 2 look good? A detailed explanation of the plot of Chinatown detective 2
4hw.com.cn: in 2018, there are a lot of blockbusters in the Spring Festival, and "Chinatown detective 2" also came to fight for the Spring Festival. Before "Chinatown detective", it has gained a good reputation and box office, which is a good reasoning film in China. So is it good to watch as the sequel "Chinatown detective 2"? Now let's take a look at the plot analysis. It's serious here. Be careful.
Let's start with the conclusion: the plot is smooth, logical online, proper narration and suspense are worth seeing.
Specific analysis: smooth plot
As an inferential film, except for a small amount of memory insertion, it is generally a short-term stream composition. But because it's a single perspective narrative method, it's very important to effectively import the information of the sideline into the main line. Many inference movies are not smooth when inserting the sideline, which makes them feel stuck when watching the movie.
In "the detective in Chinatown 2", the story of the sideline is connected reasonably by the people around the protagonist. For example, Wang Xun is stabbed by seven uncles to do illegal business, Xiao Yang's sister is missing, and the Chinese background of the doctor's wife is a very reasonable foreshadowing for the following story. The transmission of sideline information is reasonable and natural, and whether it takes up a lot of movie space.
In addition, the reasoning of the key part is in the form of explanation rather than plot promotion, which not only saves the length of the film, but also enables the audience to quickly understand the key reasoning part, making the narration fluent rather than lengthy. Logic Online
The main logic of the whole reasoning -- killing people to cure cancer and become immortals -- is clear. Although it's a bit superstitious (well, it doesn't really fit the scientific image of the US emperor), it's still a clear logic.
The hidden logic of vice line -- Xiao Yang takes a ride to kill Wang Xun for his sister's Revenge -- is also very reasonable.
Moreover, the interweaving of the main line and the sub line is also very rigorous, and the narrative proportion of the main line and the sub line is also very reasonable. The missing information of Xiao Yang's sister was revealed at the beginning, and then it was hidden because of being excluded from suspicion. Then Xiao Yang reasonably temporarily separated from the main line to execute the side line plot, and quickly and reasonably merged into the main line. When Liu Haoran finally revealed the mystery, the audience did not feel sudden, but there was a sense that the clue was not wasted.
Although there are only three sub lines, they really have the effect of surprise and improvement. Proper narration
The whole narrative has a certain degree of relaxation. Although it's an inferential movie, it's actually a inferential comedy, and the comic elements in the middle are just right.
From the "come to do it" of the black customs, to the dance of gay bar, to master Mo's "what's your name", the comedy elements are just dotted on the details without affecting the solid logic of the main line. Suspense force
The most important thing of the inferential film is suspense, and two points must be achieved. One is that the audience can understand it; the other is that the audience should have the part of guessing and the part of guessing wrong. In this way, the audience can not only get pleasure, but also feel interesting.
The suspense and reversal of detective 2 in Chinatown are very clever.
Xiao Yang's appearance as a suspect is set reasonably, and the removal of the suspect is also designed reasonably -- the situation that he is not a criminal but appears at the crime scene at the same time is not zero, but an event with a very low probability, as long as there is a proper reason, the suspect can be removed -- not a left-handed person, working in a bar.
When the final mystery is solved, the previous explanation of some unimportant details is also very reasonable.
In addition, it is also the consistent practice of excellent inferential movies to leave the audience with an unsolved suspense.
At the beginning, the audience knew the existence of a Q. if q is not in the whole film, the audience is accustomed to think that Q will definitely appear, so Liu Haoran pointed out that Xiao Yang is Q. because of the existence of the sideline plot, the audience accepted the hint and shouted 'wow ~', and then the director quickly slapped his face at the end, denying Liu Haoran's identification, leaving the last unsolved mystery. But because the suspense does not affect the main line and the sub line story, it will be pondered by the audience without questioning the logic of the story.
At the same time, don't reveal all the suspense to the audience is also the most important point of the inferential film, so that there will be infinite possibilities. summary
At present, the domestic reasoning films are considered to be excellent, and I even think they are more qualified than "hypnotist" and "memory master".
