The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Chapter 446: The online drama "Detective Chinatown" begins airing

In a funny atmosphere, Officer Kuntai and his group of subordinates watched the surveillance video of the platform again.

A woman with a white upper body, with no one around her, suddenly fell off the platform as if she was pushed.

Very weird.

Officer Kuntai was very puzzled and suspected that the place was haunted.

At this moment, in a corner that was out of tune with the police officers' funny atmosphere, the silent man asked.

"Why are you looking for me?"

The male lead of the web drama appears!

He has sharp eyes, dark skin and a moustache, like a lean hound.

Kuntai said that because of a suicide case three days ago, the deceased's husband said that the deceased had also heard the sound of chanting before he died.

Tang Ren had promised to handle twenty cases for them, so they found Tang Ren's apprentice, the male protagonist Lin Mo, to help them solve the case.

In the police station, facing the director who came to find Tang Ren in a threatening manner, Lin Mo casually said that he had just gone to burn incense, and gave them a sharp analysis, trying out his skills and giving them a warning.

The case and the protagonist's fast-paced appearance are completed, the screen switches, and the opening credits begin playing.

"My name is Lin Mo. By day, I was a chemistry teacher at Luming Middle School. By night, I was a street scavenger, walking behind the neon lights and bustle of Bangkok, wandering between law and crime. And now, I'm a detective, a detective at the Tangren Detective Agency in Bangkok's Chinatown."

Amid the passionate music, Lin Mo introduced himself.

I felt silly, but I was also excited by the music.

The last movie "Detective Chinatown 2" was released during the Spring Festival of 18, which is two years ago.

At that time, "Detective Chinatown 2" not only announced the official launch of the "Detective Chinatown" IP universe, but also brought the box office of a single movie to the level of nearly 40 billion.

A "World Famous Detective Competition" held in New York has made "Detective Chinatown" leap from a well-received film to a family hit, and has also expanded the space for subsequent storytelling around the world.

The branch of Crimaster detective rankings and the main line of Q build the skeleton of the Tang Detective universe.

Afterwards, the two people responsible for creation in the close-knit "Tang Triangle" split up into two groups.

The online drama "Detective Chinatown" has been announced for production, with Xu Xing in charge.

The movie "Detective Chinatown 3" announced that it will go to Japan, a country of mystery. Director Chen will continue to direct, and many well-known Japanese actors will join. In the movie promotion that has already started, the press release released: a 1:1 ratio replica of the streets of Shibuya was built with a lot of money, and thousands of extras were used...

Each "drastic" step-by-step action makes the fans of Detective Chinatown excited and look forward to it!

The first to be reviewed is the "Detective Chinatown" web drama, which introduces a new protagonist, tells branching stories, and enriches the "Detective Chinatown" universe!
In just a few minutes at the beginning, they felt that their expectations were lived up to!
Isn’t this blood-boiling music the clarion call for “Detective Chinatown” to charge into the universe?
[…Under my feet is the battlefield, an invisible period! ! ! ]
Although Xu Xing, who was supposed to be fully responsible, would not appear in or write songs for the drama, but still!
Go ahh ...
Start solving the case!
Officer Sasha, who was transferred from the General Administration and had dealt with Lin Mo before, was tit for tat and "flirted" with Lin Mo and had to join the crime-solving team!

Teammate +1!

Let’s start with the falling case.

At two o'clock in the morning, in the surveillance video in the corridor, a woman in a white dress with her long hair hanging down, whose face could not be seen, walked out of her home like a ghost, walked into the elevator, went to the top of the building, and jumped to her death.

Before jumping off the building, she performed a prayer dance to ask for the blessing of Lord Brahma!

Weird atmosphere++++!

Lin Heiquan's stomach is growling, Officer Sasha is concerned and flirting with him, creating an ambiguous atmosphere +++!

This is "Detective Chinatown"!
After checking the surveillance footage, we went to the home of the deceased Ah Shui. Lin Mo inexplicably asked the man to eat noodles with bolognese sauce, and he ate it with great relish. This seemingly abnormal and eccentric detective is worthy of being Tang Ren's apprentice!

Then--

Art is a blast!

No, it’s Lin Mo’s superpower confirmation!

Tang Ren has a dragon-docking ruler, Qin Feng has a super memory, and Lin Mo has an incredible sense of smell!
He can smell things that police dogs cannot, even the decay of molecules.

In the memories of A Shui's husband Qin Jun, A Shui's suspicious behavior during his lifetime added to the weird atmosphere ++++!

Hearing scriptures being chanted, mumbling inexplicably, chopping the chopping board with a knife in the middle of the night, breaking down and crying... these scenes would not be out of place in a horror movie, and these scenes appeared in "Detective Chinatown".

I couldn't help but hold my breath!

When Qin Jun accompanied A Shui to worship the gods, A Shui's shoulder suddenly caught fire.

"All this is revenge! It's that god taking revenge on us! It's revenge!"

Ah Shui lost control of his emotions and shouted in the car.

It’s really a horror movie!

The re-enactment of scenes and conversations with the dead that are commonly used in "Detective Chinatown" also seem more bizarre.

At A Shui's house, Lin Mo discovered that she and A Wen, who fell off the platform, were high school classmates, and the two cases were directly related.

When he went to see Dr. Shui's psychiatrist, the startled neurologist couldn't relax even though he knew he was joking.

Then as expected, a shot of Ah Shui’s bedroom suddenly came in!
There were a bunch of Ah Shui crawling around in the room in the middle of the night...

What does the director want to do? ? ? ?

Is it unfair for you to come and film "Detective Chinatown"?
Xu Xing, is this how you write your script???
Can we sell this director off! Let him pack up his talent and go to the horror movie next door? ? ? ?

This funny psychologist even hypnotized Lin Mo for a short period of time.

It was a blank world, with nothing in it except a bright red cabinet in the distance, with water constantly flowing out of the cabinet... Lin Mo walked to the cabinet with a nervous expression.

Open it suddenly!

...There was a little boy squatting inside.

A scene of murder with shaking and twitching accompanied by the sound of metal friction flashed by quickly!
Lin Mo woke up in a cold sweat.

...I am speechless about this director who likes to make horror movies.

Xu Xing, don’t worry about him!

Fortunately, I felt relieved after seeing a psychologist.

Lin Mo went to the bar and looked for Awen, who was performing there.

Listen to the song!

then……

The bar owner revealed that a week ago, handprints suddenly appeared on Awen's neck out of thin air, as if someone was strangling her neck in the air, and her head was twisting strangely!

The ghost movie is coming again...

Lin Mo asked Awen, but Awen didn't want to say more.

Lin Mo didn't ask any more questions, but gave her a chocolate.

"If you don't protect her, why do you give her chocolate?"

Officer Sasha's jealousy clearly made her want to laugh, but because they were talking about Awen, she was afraid that she would be startled by the sudden flashback of Awen twisting his neck.

At this time, Officer Sasha received a call.

Di Nan, another classmate in the photo of Awen and Ashui, also reported the case to the police, claiming that similar strange things had happened.

Lin Mo turned around.

The screen went black.

The music started and the end credits came out.

The worry that had just been lifted up can finally be put down!
The first episode is over...

it's over!
Episode 2!
...Do you want to slow down a bit?
Watch now!
As a result, I came to a dim room and saw the sleeping little boy suddenly having his mouth covered by a hand!

Call ~
Oh, it's his mother...

Then the little boy's mother was killed by the men in black who broke in...

Having seen the “big scene” in the first episode, this one feels pretty okay!
The little boy is young Lin Mo. His mother was killed when he was a child, which left him with a deep trauma.

Back to the topic.

Lin Mo and Sasha went to find Di Nan, who was renting a house in the slums.

What happened with Dinan was that a black handprint appeared on her ceiling.

Her own handprints.

In the dark room, Di Nan, who was sleeping, suddenly and slowly floated up from the bed...

Classic ghost movie scenes are here again.

Dinan floated higher and higher, and when she was about to hit the ceiling, she suddenly opened her eyes.

With a scream, he slapped the ceiling with his hand and then fell onto the bed, waking her up.

Sleepily reaching for the bottle, she suddenly saw her own dark palms, and then she saw the black handprints on the ceiling.

Screaming in fear!

Plus the startling soundtrack is really... annoying!

Then when questioning, Sasha mentioned Ashui and Awen, as well as Lord Brahma.

Dinan called Chaya, the last of her four best friends in high school.

Chaya was also shocked and was hospitalized.

At the hospital, I met Awen who happened to be there to see Chaya.

What happened to Chaya was that she heard the sound of rosary beads jumping, rosary beads fell from the ceiling, and finally a large number of rosary beads sprayed out from the drain pipe of the sink. She was so scared that she was hospitalized.

It’s the classic ghost movie plot again!
Especially because Chaya has problems with her eyes. Her blue-white eyeballs, coupled with the weird plot and music, are creepy to watch.

Chaya was upset and didn't want to speak, while Awen and Dinan knew something but just didn't say it.

After seeing Chaya, Lin Mo and Sasha had to leave temporarily.

But soon I received a call that Dinan and Awen were on their way home after drinking when the brakes of their car suddenly failed and they rushed directly into the river. Fortunately, both of them were not seriously injured.

According to Dinan, when she fell into the river, she saw the statue of Lord Brahma at the bottom of the river.

Dinan and Awen finally talked about the reason why Lord Brahma was involved.

Before the college entrance examination, the four of them prayed to the Lord Brahma to bless them to be admitted to Bangkok University together, but in the end, no one was admitted. They even fell seriously ill after returning home and could not even take the college entrance examination.

The angry Dinan took the lead and the four ran to blame Lord Brahma.

In addition, after investigation, it was found that there was no problem with the car's brakes last night. He firmly believed that it was a ghost at work. The increasingly frightened director demanded that the case be closed as soon as possible and gave a deadline of three days.

But at this moment, Awen, who had just walked out of the police station, was almost killed by a billboard that suddenly fell in front of everyone.

It wasn't that she forgot to bring her bag. She was stopped by Sasha who was chasing her and just when she turned around, she was already dead.

The extremely frightened director immediately demanded that the case be closed and was even willing to pay for the ritual to be performed for them.

In front of the statue of Brahma, a ritual was being performed in front of the onlookers.

The police have closed the case, but Lin Mo firmly believes that it was committed by a human and wants to continue investigating.

End of episode two.

……

"Ah? That's it? How come there's not even a suspense left at the end? How come there's no sense of interruption at all?"

Xia Mo was the first to complain.

"Watch the preview, watch the preview."

Bevido, who was holding Xia Mo, quickly reminded him.

Inawen has already clicked on the preview for the third episode.

The preview of the third episode shows Lin Mo going back to Luming Middle School to investigate. Scattered shots show Lin Mo in class? Finding out that Ah Shui has an ex-boyfriend? And a man suddenly appeared at Ah Shui's funeral and wanted to kill her husband Qin Jun? And a class reunion.

There is basically no nutrition.

The preview for episode four shows Dinan being cursed by Brahma and suffering again, Chaya suddenly booking a flight to go abroad, the director asking Sasha for evidence, the sissy policeman saying he has a discovery, and Lin Mo confronting someone not in the camera in prison: "Because of you, you are guilty."

After he finished pretending to be cool, the trailer ended.

Only the settlement screen was given...

"It's obvious, right? The murderer is Chaya! Isn't she running away because she is guilty?"

Inawen asserted.

"There must be something wrong with Ah Shui's husband, otherwise why would someone kill him? But Ah Shui's ex-boyfriend is also quite suspicious."

Bevido added.

"The most obvious one is Awen! Didn't Lin Mo always suspect her in the first two episodes?"

Late summer reminder.

"Is there no problem with Di Nan? I feel like the reunion scenes and the campus plot suggest that the relationship between the four best friends isn't that good."

Li Lili also expressed her opinion. Yinawen, who was still thinking seriously, nodded slowly.

"Well, four fake besties..."

"Pfft~"

Xia Mo suddenly laughed out loud.

The other three immediately looked at her.

Look at Inawen in the end of summer.

The four of them looked at each other.

"There are exactly four of us."

Xia Mo said mysteriously.

"It really is!"

Li Lili suddenly realized.

"So, does anyone have a Buddha statue?"

Bevido asked in a low voice.

"You..." Inawen trembled and quickly threw herself into Li Lili's arms, "Don't kill me!"

"Hahahahaha!"

All four of them laughed out loud.

"It's really good! The pace is quite fast, and a case is concluded in four episodes."

"Oh! It feels like I'm halfway through a movie. It's so uncomfortable."

"Looking at the trending searches, everyone is praising it, and the ones complaining are all saying it's a bit scary."

"It's a bit scary indeed, but most people are not like us. They have watched so many horror movies that they are immune to it."

"The director is pretty good, isn't he? When Xing Shen first hired this completely new director, many people in Mantianxing were worried."

"You weren't full of stars when we took the photo!"

"What's the matter?"

"It's mainly because Xing Shen wrote a good script."

"of course!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Qiu Ze's acting was also very good. It really made me look at him with new eyes. When he was chosen, many people had doubts."

"He's quite handsome and has good acting skills. He's become popular now. But it's a pity that he's a scumbag. Two days before the show started, Tao Mei was still criticizing this show for casting a scumbag. Are you guys, King Oyster Mushrooms, any good at all? Now you can't even figure out Tao Mei."

"We can't help it. There are too many stupid girls. Other girls would just lower their heads when their faces are swollen and painful, but they keep jumping when their faces are like pigs. We are so tired of beating them, but what can we do if they just don't have any shame? We can't really kill them all."

"Too."

"Momobao."

"Grain of treasures."

"As a former peach girl——"

"I'm not Peach Girl!"

"Okay, then you should give us your evaluation. Can Hou Minghao play the role of Lin Mo well?"

"He can in his dreams."

"Cheers to the cause of destroying one's relatives!"

"...I'm not Tao Mei!!!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

"Besides the one with Tang Yan, is there anything else Qiu Ze has done? Why is he such a scumbag?"

"I don't know. I never paid attention to this kind of nonsense before."

"It's the one about Tang Yan and the scumbag. Let me give you some scientific knowledge."

"There are also Yang Chenglin, Li Yufen, and many other random people. It is said that he has a new boyfriend after each drama he starred in. His ex-girlfriends didn't have good things to say about him either. There were quite a few of them on Kangxi Comes Here. I'll look for them later."

"Forget it. He is indeed a scumbag!"

"Compared to him, Xing Shen is as chaste as a virgin, right? 11 treasure?"

"...Although, Wang Churan is Hou Minghao's girlfriend."

"11 Bao answered again."

"Hahahahahaha!"

……

"Are you still filming?"

"Yes."

"Then I'll make a long story short."

“This break is quite long.”

"Alright, Xiao Xing," Chen Sicheng laughed heartily over the phone. "The 'Detective Chinatown' web series premiered tonight, and the response has been fantastic. Audiences are incredibly confident in our 'Detective Chinatown' universe and are eagerly anticipating it. They're already urging pre-sales to start. Are you so confident in the quality of the web series that you're so engrossed in filming on set, and even sent Baoqiang away to film?"

"Hey," Xu Xing sighed, "Brother Cheng, you're still blaming me for not participating in the movie promotion. Brother Qiang's filming schedule is also very relaxed, and it seems that his personal scenes are almost finished."

"Look at what you said, how could I blame you? I'm just happy! Xiao Xing, seriously, as long as we work together, Detective Chinatown will get better and better. It will definitely become the number one IP in China and even go global! You and Baoqiang, neither of you can be missing from Detective Chinatown!"

Director Chen said seriously.

"I can't live without Brother Cheng. Brother Cheng, you're talking as if we're going to break up."

Xu Xing sighed again.

"Ah? Hahaha!" Chen Sicheng laughed, "What I mean is, Xiaoxing, our business has just started!"

"Yes!"

Xu Xing affirmed.

"Now that I think about it, we sometimes had some arguments before, but they were actually unnecessary. The luckiest thing about Detective Chinatown is that we got you so early. We are like-minded partners, and the future will be even brighter and brighter!"

Chen Shicheng sighed.

"Most definitely!"

Xu Xing agreed again.

hang up the phone.

"Is there anything going on with the movie Detective Chinatown 3?"

Xu Xing asked.

"No," Sun Man shook her head. "Before, there was some conflict between Wang Baoqiang's filming of "The Accidental Murderer 2" and the film promotion, so we coordinated it. At the screening two days ago, all the theaters gave high praise to the quality of the film. Everything went smoothly."

"Then why did he suddenly call like this?"

Xu Xing complained.

Call Teacher Tong first.

"I didn't contact him today. I was just watching the online drama 'Detective Chinatown'. It's really good, but a little scary. Also, I posted something on WeChat Moments, maybe he saw it?"

"what are you sending?"

"Nothing. I just feel that you are so talented and write great scripts. Is that okay? I used to post on WeChat Moments saying how handsome you are, but that was only visible to him."

"……what?"

"Miss me?"

"Yes!"

"What do you want me to wear this time? I've prepared so many outfits that I blush when I see them all, but I think you'll like them all."

"Then bring them all!"

"Hmmmm~ mua~ Master~ How am I supposed to sleep tonight~"

hang up the phone.

Xu Xing called Mr. Qu again.

"Nothing. We just had a small meeting a few days ago. Everyone asked him why he didn't write Detective Chinatown 3, and asked if he had any conflicts with you. If there were any conflicts, everyone would help resolve them together. We are all in the same circle. The success of Manslaughter shows that our ecosystem in the field of suspense and mystery films has been established, and we will make money together in the future."

Qu Mingzhen chuckled.

"That's perfect. He's working on his Detective Chinatown universe, and I'm working on our Accidental Manslaughter IP. There's no conflict."

Xu Xing was still very confused.

Qu Mingzhen shook his head.

"They're afraid you'll do 'The Accidental Murder' and are making it clear they're ready to leave 'Detective Chinatown' at any moment. They think you're young and arrogant, and won't be the kind of person who'll suffer injustice. Didn't we suddenly do 2 and 3 back-to-back in the second half of the year?"

"You and Chen Sicheng had obvious conflicts before. Everyone in the small circle knows what happened. He was having fun by himself and couldn't keep an eye on others, so you can't be blamed. Tong has already stated in various ways that it was she who took the initiative to seduce you. Fortunately, you are one of us, otherwise Tong would have found someone else, which would have been even more embarrassing for him.

"You are helping him take care of Tong, he should be grateful to you. You also took the initiative to help him promote Liu Haoran from his company, how respectful of you. "Detective Chinatown 2" was so successful, because he was uncomfortable, you just went straight to make a web series. Everyone's meaning is to let him get by, the entertainment industry is not short of women and men, and there are always the youngest and most beautiful ones.

"The web series aired tonight, and the feedback was so good. You've worked so hard for Detective Chinatown, and it's made the IP of Detective Chinatown more stable. It's normal for him to take the opportunity to call and find a way out. If he can't turn around, it will be embarrassing. To put it bluntly, you are the core of our circle now. When the conflict between you two is really irreconcilable, he will definitely be the one to leave.

"By then, he won't even have Detective Chinatown anymore. Detective Chinatown seems to be in his hands, and there are ways to keep him from getting it, but there's no need to tear each other apart yet. Of course, Xiao Xing, don't get me wrong, we're not bullying, we've made it clear that if we don't take his things, we'll make our own Accidental Manslaughter. It's others who think the conflict needs to be resolved.

"Look, last year's The Wandering Earth grossed 60 billion yuan, so everyone's expectations for Detective Chinatown 3 are naturally 60 billion yuan as well. Is it because Chen Sicheng is so optimistic about it? It's because of you! Now that the movie is about to be released, let's resolve the internal conflicts, unite as one, and work together!"

"Forehead……"

"Any question?"

"Gone."

"Miss me?"

"Yes!"

"Unfortunately I've been too busy these past two days. I'll have to wait until your birthday."

"Hmm."

hang up the phone.

Xu Xing didn't expect that the conflict with Director Chen would be resolved so suddenly.

I haven’t even waited for “Detective Chinatown 3” to be released.

In this entertainment industry, you can’t do without big names!

I am already good enough, but if your thighs are not thick enough, it won’t work!
Still being bullied...
