Becoming a Global Superstar Starting as an Idol Trainee

Author's Note: If you haven't watched "Detective Chinatown", I suggest you watch it first. The movie is pretty good, and you can watch it for free on iQIYI. (This chapter briefly writes some movie plots, but many details are definitely not written.)

On the night of June 28th, the car Chen Minhao was driving was getting closer and closer to the venue of the premiere, and the shouting became louder and louder.

The car finally stopped, and Chen Minhao tugged at his tie. Facing the desperately pushing photographers and screaming audience, he waved confidently and calmly, with a flawless demeanor.

Chen Minhao found his place in the front row of the theater. The crew of "Detective" invited some well-connected film critics. Apart from these film critics, there were not a few stars and celebrities who came to join the show, and there were also some lucky audiences who got tickets.

Many people came to join in for Chen Minhao's face: Huaxia Xiaohua Wan Anqi, well-known director Zhao Yao, former deputy head of the People's Art Troupe Lao Xigu Xingxi, music producer Wu Hongrong, popular young student Zhang Xinyi, Lin Xiuzi, etc. wait.

Before the film screening, producer Tian Lin, director Hu Defa and several leading actors took the stage to give short speeches in turn.

But since it was the premiere, it was natural to focus on "screening". The lights in the theater were turned off, and everyone was quietly waiting for the movie to start.

Director Zhao Yao can be regarded as the guide of Chen Minhao's performance. After Chen Minhao participated in "Bingdilian" directed by Zhao Yao, he really entered the acting industry.

For a director, there are two things that give him the greatest sense of accomplishment in his career. One is to make a great work, and the other is to discover new actors with potential.

Zhao Yao thought of the handsome young man in a casual suit on the stage just now, and he felt really old. Two years ago, Chen Minhao could only rely on his outstanding appearance to be a male supporting role in his TV series with vase-shaped facial paralysis. Now, two years later, he has become the leading actor with an investment of over 100 million box office. His progress in the past two years is what?

Although Zhao Yao is optimistic about Chen Minhao's future development, he is not very optimistic about the movie "Detective". "Comedy" and "Detective" are irrelevant elements. Forcibly matching them together may cause separation and violation. feel.

In addition, Zhao Yao was also worried that Chen Minhao's decision to star in the film might be a bit hasty, especially with Chen Minhao acting opposite actor Wang Ruozhou. If the gap between the two acting skills is too large, it will inevitably cause serious drama pressure and affect the audience's viewing effect.

While Zhao Yao was thinking wildly, the movie officially started.

"Student Shao Fei, why did you apply for the Criminal Police Academy?"

"Is this question difficult to answer?"

Then the camera quickly switched to a boy lying on the bed, and an old woman's voice came from beside him: "Twice if you fail the first test, it's no big deal. I bought you a plane ticket and went to Curry Country. Someone will To welcome you, he is my cousin, the nephew of your aunt's husband's cousin's daughter-in-law's family, your distant cousin, the famous first detective in Chinatown, Jiang Long."

Before the boy could speak, the camera cut, and the screen changed to: Wang Ruozhou playing Jiang Long singing in a KTV.

The camera turned again, several policemen found a dead body in the warehouse, and then two groups of policemen quarreled over the ownership of the case.

Director Zhao Yao frowned unknowingly. The movie had started for 5 minutes, and he didn't understand what the director of "Detective" Hu Defa wanted to express.

As a director, Zhao Yao knows very well that the first fifteen minutes of the movie are too important. If the director cannot let the audience accept the tone of the movie and immerse the audience in the plot of the movie in the first fifteen minutes, the audience will continue to play for the next hour or so.

But when the movie was played for fifteen minutes, director Zhao Yao was already immersed in the plot of the movie.

At this point, the cinema continued to laugh. The fragments that flashed before have been strung together by a thread. Jiang Long was mistaken for a murderer by the police. Jiang Long, Shao Fei and the police started a very interesting chase on the street.

Zhao Yao could see that this clip was a bit of a tribute to the classic scene, but Hu Defa had a good control of the rhythm, the soundtrack was just right, and the excellent performances of Chen Minhao and Wang Ruozhou successfully amused all the audience.

After the two escaped from the pursuit, Shao Fei squatted on the ground, panting: "Didn't you say to go to the Grand Palace? Police, police, police, why did the police arrest you?"

"Why?"

"I ask you!"

"why why?"

"The police said I killed someone!"

"Who did you kill?"

"How do I know who I killed?"

Zhao Yao nodded slightly, and exchanged glances with Xing Xi next to him: Wang Ruozhou's acting skills have improved again.

Zhao Yao rubbed his chin, Chen Minhao also acted well, he seemed to have made extraordinary progress, he was like a completely different person, his language, movements and expressions were all very well grasped, especially his eyes, which were very expressive. Zhao Yao couldn't help doubting himself, did I not discover his potential at the beginning?

The more Zhao Yao watched it, the more he felt that the box office of the movie was about to explode. In fact, the plot is not complicated: after Shao Fei failed the exam at the police academy, he came to Curry Country to relax and join his cousin, Jiang Long.

If Shao Fei is Xiaoxianrou, Jiang Long is the antonym of Xiaoxianrou. He is ugly, wretched, and lustful all in one, and the two of them don't get along well.

But Jiang Long was accidentally involved in a murder case. After going through some twists and turns, Shao Fei finally believed that the wretched cousin was not the murderer, and decided to help him get rid of the suspicion and restore the truth of the case.

The character of Shao Fei looks stupid and stutters at first glance, but he has reasoning and observation skills beyond ordinary people.

In fact, when the plot developed to this point, many film critics already understood why Chen Minhao made a lot of noise in the publicity, but because in this movie, the character Shao Fei is the one who really promotes the main line. host.

The so-called dual male protagonists are just for the sake of Wang Ruozhou's face.

The character played by Chen Minhao is very complex, seemingly cute but smart, cheerful but withdrawn.

Shao Fei met Siyuan, a young and lovely girl in Curry Country, which made this messy movie a bright spot for him.

Siyuan, an angelic girl, has a miserable life experience. She is an orphan.

Siyuan was met by Shao Fei when he was investigating the case. She was a classmate of the deceased's son.

Shao Fei and Siyuan became acquainted and enthusiastic from the beginning of silence. Siyuan asked Shao Fei a question: "If you put a blank piece of paper on the table."

Shao Fei immediately folded the white paper in half and stood it on the table. Siyuan's expression immediately showed admiration and surprise.

Unfortunately, this is a detective suspense film, not a romance film. When Siyuan's adoptive father appeared, Shao Fei sensed that something was wrong, and the clues in his mind were all connected together.

Many viewers thought that the adoptive father was the murderer. In the play, the adoptive father is also the murderer found by the protagonist Shao Fei. Shao Fei speculates that his motive for killing was that he learned from his daughter's diary that her daughter was raped.

When Siyuan committed suicide and went to the hospital, the sad adoptive father said to Siyuan: "I love you."

Siyuan looked into his eyes and replied, "I know, Dad."

The adoptive father said stubbornly: "No, you don't know, I love you." Then he jumped out of the window.

Just when the audience thought the case was over and Jiang Long was wronged, the movie suddenly took a new turn.

Shao Fei found that Siyuan had recorded the impossible things in his diary. The victim is gay, how could he rape Siyuan?

When Shao Fei found Siyuan with doubts, she still showed an angelic smile. Shao Fei looked at him coldly, and told another story:

A man's son goes missing, and he suspects a girl is involved in his son's disappearance, so he starts stalking her. Girl forges diary after discovering man stalking her. She made up the fact that she was raped by a man, and wrote in her diary her thoughts and methods of intending to kill the man.

The girl deliberately let her adoptive father see the diary. The stimulated adoptive father killed the man who lost his son according to the method in the diary.

Siyuan listened quietly, without any special reaction after listening, as if listening to another story, smiled warmly: "You seem to stop stuttering."

Shao Fei was a little disappointed, and said to Siyuan: "You pretend I didn't tell you."

Siyuan picked up the book in his hand and said: "This book says that individual lives are different, but the total amount of good and evil remains the same. Everyone plays their own roles from birth, some are good, some are evil. What about you?"

Shao Fei looked back at Siyuan, and the girl suddenly laughed strangely.

Most of the audience thought that the plot progressed to 99% and it was about to end. Then when the audience was relaxing, the director gave such a horrifying shot, which undoubtedly gave the audience a fatal blow, and many audiences were frightened.

Director Zhao Yao is naturally not among the audience who are ignorant and frightened.

He knew that this kind of shooting technique is called: Kubrick stare, which is a common way of shooting faces of people named Kubrick: the head is slightly tilted down, the eyes look directly at the camera, and it is mainly used to create horror and excitement. Uneasy atmosphere.

In the next second, the girl replied with an angelic sweet smile: "You speak very well, but I really don't understand."

Shao Fei didn't say anything, picked up a piece of paper on the table and folded it in half, then stood it on the table.

Although director Zhao Yao was not intimidated by the girl Kubrick's stare, he had to admit that the last five minutes of the movie were the magic strokes, which turned the movie from an ordinary time-killing movie into a masterpiece.

Director Zhao Yao fell in love with this movie, and he immediately bought tickets for the July 1 release on his mobile phone, because he found that there are many details in this movie that he didn't notice: such as everyone's different religious beliefs, the movie At the very beginning: "Student Shao Fei, why did you apply for the Criminal Police Academy?" Why did such a question make Shao Fei fail and so on.

Many film critics communicated their affirmation of the film with their eyes, and some film critics worried that the inspiration of watching the film would disappear, so they immediately wrote down their film reviews in their notebooks with a pen.

"The logical conception is rigorous, and there is no shortage of secular thinking."

"The plot is constantly reversed. The actors in this film review all have good performances. Except for Wang Ruozhou, the performances of the two young actors are amazing."

In addition to the film critics, other audience present expressed their affirmation of the film critics with applause and cheers.

After the film ended, many reporters gathered around Chen Minhao, wanting to do an interview.

"An estimate of the final box office?" Chen Minhao smiled and said: "The box office of a movie is a very complicated issue, but after watching the finished movie just now, I am very confident."
