I admit that I was too loud for Chen Sicheng before. Is "The Three Teams" really supervised by him?Since "Detective Chinatown" won 8At the beginning of the box office of 2.3 billion, the three words "Chen Sicheng" have become the biggest topic in the Chinese film industry. Once, he was one of the four oil kings, "a knife in hand, killing Chen dogs", and a dazzling orange at the Cannes Film Festival. 
Today, he is the king of the box office and the king of topics, holding the 11.1 billion box office myth of the "Tang Detective" and "Manslaughter" series, and this year he won 3.5 billion box office with "Disappearing Her". The business ability is unparalleled in the world, but the reputation is terminally ill. He is a remake, hype, and the king of marketing who sells emotions. "Manslaughter" connected the remake into a series, focusing on a story where I could abandon everything for the sake of my family, and "She Who Disappeared" is a story of a man killing a woman and a woman taking revenge perfectly hit the social hit, and the controversy alone makes the movie hot, and it is not a man if you don't watch it. 
Chen Sicheng's only failure in recent years was the "new original" film "Mozart in Outer Space". Yes, although Chen Sicheng has made a lot of money every time, after the audience reminisces, it is inevitable that they will have an unappetizing appetite like drinking a sip of industrial saccharin, and they can only complain about junk food. Chen Sicheng's image is also gradually tending to the assembly line of the film industry, using the cheapest emotions to win the maximum audience. The amount is full, but after eating, you will squirt all over the wall. 
When I thought that Chen Sicheng had lost himself on the road to making money. As soon as he turned around, he gave the film industry a PUA. Who says I can't make a good movie?Look Look This - The Endless Journey of the Three Teams
The movie "Three Teams" is produced by Chen Sicheng, and the director is Dai Mo of "Manslaughter 2" and "Tang Detective Drama", which can be regarded as Chen Sicheng's official believer. This film is based on NetEase documentary literature "Please Tell the Director, the Three Brigades Task is Completed", the full text of the original book is only more than 7,000 words, and it records the story of "Captain Cheng" chasing the murderer across 12 years of life. In 2018, it won the annual click championship and was made into a movie by 10,000 blood books. 
The book fell on Chen Sicheng, and the filming went smoothly. It will start shooting at the end of October 2022, finish it two months later, and be selected for the closing film of the Golden Rooster Awards the following year, and then won the "Expected Chinese Film of the Year". Then, the film announced that it would be screened in advance, so from December 2nd, the film began to be screened nationwide nearly half a month in advance. Why?**The feedback is too good, and the confidence is too much. 
Since the film festival test screening in November, the reputation of "The Three Teams" has rapidly fermented. There is no need to publicize and build momentum at all, almost everyone who has watched the movie has become tap water Amway, and the praise is endless, and I can't imagine that this is a movie from Chen Sicheng. And after the official release, the word of mouth was not hidden at all, and the results were announced in just one day: 78 points: Chen Sicheng's team's best result in recent years. 
The box office results are also good. broke 100 million on the first day of release, and then remained high, as of press time, the cumulative box office of "The Three Teams" was 2 in 5 days after its release700 million, ** total box office 52.3 billion. For this kind of low-budget feature film, there is no doubt that it is another victory. Chen Sicong has made money again. 
The results are like this, and it has become a must-see in the minds of many people. After watching it, a blogger who likes it very much even said that it was "the best group drama after "The God of Medicine".
Can it be compared to "The God of Medicine", which is even better?And when I walked into the cinema with high expectations, I was really surprised. Is this a movie that the team of "Manslaughter 2" can make?
"Anti" Chen Sicheng's "Three Teams" is just like the original book, "Three Teams" tells a story of chasing the murderer that spans 12 years. On September 21, 2002, a burglary and murder occurred in a private house in Guangdong, ** involving two young adults, and the deceased was only a 14-year-old girl.
The captain of the criminal investigation team, "Cheng Bing" (played by Zhang Yi), led the three teams to reconnoitre, targeting the habitual offenders Dayong and Eryong. In the process of chasing the murderer, the old master "Zhang Qingliang" bumped into Er Yong in the alley, Er Yong and Zhang Qingliang had collective contact, and the old master fell to the ground and couldn't stand up, which actually induced cerebral congestion and was bedridden. Cheng Bing intensified his efforts, searched day and night, and finally found his brother Dayong, but during the interrogation, bad news came from the hospital - the master died.
The departure of the master, the sluggishness of the detection process, and Dayong's ugly expression towards his daughter **, everyone finally broke out. The team members punched and kicked Dayong, making Dayong stubborn and dying on the spot.
At that time, it was a period of reform, and the three brigades became the focus of the attack, and five people were convicted of intentional injury and imprisoned, with sentences ranging from 5 to 8 years. Cheng Bing was sentenced to eight years, but it was changed to six years because of his good behavior. After being released from prison, the world has changed dramatically, his wife is indifferent, his daughter is estranged, and his teammates are scattered all over the world to run for life. And the criminal Er Yong was never caught.
Cheng Bing looked at everything in front of him, he didn't know how to pick it up, so he decided to chase the murderer!Then look for Eryong!
The 14-year-old ** killed girl, the ace criminal investigation team sentenced to prison, and the pursuit of the murderer spanning 12 years. These plot tensions are full, and if you put them together, Chen Sicheng can make a standard commercial genre film like "Manslaughter" or "She Who Disappeared". But "The Three Teams" did the opposite, abandoning the plot tension, and actually added enough horsepower to the character portrayal. As mentioned earlier, the original work is only more than 7,000 words, and it only roughly tells the general context of the old policeman Cheng Bing's pursuit of the murderer, but even the author Shenlan doesn't know the specific details, and changing the three-page script into a two-hour script has become the top priority.
The editor of this film is Zhang Yi, a big name in the industry, who has single-handedly written excellent group feature films such as "Winning the Championship", "Dear" and "Chinese Partner". In this "Three Teams", he expanded the three teams to 5 people with a stroke of his pen - the mature and steady second-in-command "Cai Bin" (played by Cao Bingkun), the resolute "Ma Zhenkun" (played by Wang Xiao), the "Liao Jian" (played by Zhang Zixian), and the young policeman "Xu Yizhou" (played by Wei Chen) who was born a calf.
The entire three teams are like divine help to solve a case, and they can solve a big case in three or five days, and the team members have very different personalities, but everyone is proud to be a member of the three teams. And the captain Cheng Bing is even more empty-eyed, although he is not publicized, but he also acquiesces in his influence in the police force. But after the Dayong incident, the three major teams were gone. Cai Bin was afraid of people's jokes, so he ran far away to pour antiques;Ma Zhenkun put down the gun, picked up the big spoon, and started the night market;Liao Jian became an insurance salesman;And the youngest Xu Yizhou chose to become a dog trainer who doesn't deal with people because he doesn't trust anyone. It is said that three days are like three autumns, and those three or five years are enough to change a world.
Before leaving, Cheng Bing was a star of the police force, he said that spitting is a nail, and the captain "Yang Jiantao" (played by Li Chen) from the province will give him three points of thin noodles, and his family's status is also to hold power. But after he was released from prison, the world changed. The three teams are gone, Yang Jiantao has become the director, and his wife, who has to listen to his decision in everything, left his job to start a business to support the family, and there is no one to deal with Cheng Bing. The daughter has changed even more, and she doesn't even want to see him. But the only thing that remains unchanged is that Cheng Bing wants to capture Er Yong's heart.
This is a story about "obsession", an atypical crime movie. It has no bells and whistles, no complex and ingenious story lines, and even a little soundtrack, trying to remove the sense of design and rendering. I roughly counted it, and apart from special scenes like stealth, fighting, or truth outbreaks, the movie doesn't even have a soundtrack, and the shots are mostly medium and long-range. In terms of the script, even the plot of the three teams going to prison collectively has no emotional catharsis design, and Cheng Bing returned home after being released from prison with a few words of greetings and left, and the editing was very clean, which made people have to pay attention to the story from a more objective perspective. Precise, sincere and efficient. But it is also powerful through the back of the paper and hits people's hearts.
Only the truth is not broken, and the truth has long been revealed in the title with the ending of the emotional story, so instead of starting with the suspense structure, it will instead describe the mood of the characters. It's a very ordinary movie, so ordinary that it only tells a story. But it was this ordinariness that made me see the true charm of being ingenious and not working, and the heavy sword without a blade. After Cheng Bing was released from prison, he immediately assembled the three teams, and took the opportunity to pay tribute to the master to be open and honest with his old teammates - I still have to chase Eryong, who will follow me?!
After a moment of silence, they all joined Cheng Bing's team and embarked on the arrest operation, which was six years late. They followed Cheng Bing from the end of the world to the cape, reconnoitring and chasing murderers in various places, and had to work part-time to make a living. But halfway through the journey, the goal was far away, and the four teammates left him one by one. Chen Sicheng said: "This story is about the irreversible change of an individual's fate in an accidental event, showing that fate has to make you make some choices to change. ”
The three teams were swept by the same wave, but in the process of fighting fate, they chose different endings. Ma Zhenkun, who always keeps angry but is ashamed of his wife;Picking the door shabby, but thinking of his family on Chinese New Year's Eve, before leaving, he also gave Liao Jian two Huazi to Lao Ma;Full of enthusiasm, he finally lost to Xu Yizhou in love;kept saying that he would not take the rest of his life, but Cai Bin, who insisted to the end. Yes, sometimes movies are not the same as reality, how can there be so many generous epics of brothers huddling together to kill the enemy, and more of them are forced to isolate under the backlog of different identities. My brothers, I'm gone, I'm sorry. I had tears in my eyes, but I had too.
The only one who didn't give up was Cheng Bing. Sichuan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Liaoning, Hunan. After his teammates left, he went from a cleaner to a security guard alone, from middle-aged to old, with gray temples and a rickety body, but every time he looked in the mirror, he had to interrogate himself. Don't forget, don't forget!
There is a question that runs through the movie - why does Cheng Bing insist?The opening scene of the movie gave Cheng Bing many reasons: for example, the master's death was because of Er Yong, and he wanted revenge. For example, after being released from prison, Cheng Bing had nothing, and his wife didn't love his daughter, so he had to go. Or maybe you want to raise your values a little bit more – it's the duty of the police.
But in the second half of the movie, the screenwriter dismantled all these external reasons - the master's death had nothing to do with Er Yong, and he didn't meet Er Yong at all;And his daughter reconciled with him, and looked forward to his returnAs for the police, he ceased to be from the moment he entered prison, and the bureau chief, Yang Jiantao, repeatedly stopped him from conducting private investigations. But why did Cheng Bing still hold on?Why?There doesn't seem to be a right answer in the movie, just like Zhang Yi's line in the movie - "Who can say clearly in this life?".”
There are many people in life who are trapped by this obsession. I've seen classmates who were looked down upon since childhood and closed their doors when they grew up;I have seen a big boss who gambled once and broke up his wife and then stopped starting a business, and gambled for 20 yuan if he had ten yuan;I have also seen my father who was scolded by his son for being incompetent, and worked on the construction site until he died. Sometimes this is not right or wrong, evasive or brave, but falls into a crazy state of searching for answers - Cheng Bing wants to know, what does the second Yong who ruined his wife and daughter, ruined the three teams, and ruined half of his life look like?Will he be scared when he goes to jail?Will I be happy when I catch him?
At the end of the movie, Cheng Bing got his wish and finally caught Er Yong. While speaking, ** sentenced Er Yong only through DNA comparison, everything came so quickly, so suddenly, Cheng Bing, who had been waiting for 12 years, didn't even have time to react. He walked out of the police station and walked to the intersection step by step, and the 12 years of flashes in front of him flashed by. As the camera zoomed out, Cheng Bing stood at the intersection and drew his sword and looked around, dazed. Found **, and then what?The movie came to an abrupt end.
Although he has suffered a lot of losses from Chen Sicheng, I must admit that "The Three Teams" can achieve its current results, which is completely deserved, and I even think it is a pity. Judging from the level of domestic films this year, "The Three Teams" should get at least 2 billion+ results. It is not just anti-Chen Sicheng, but anti-all profit-oriented creators, anti-sensationalism of the domestic film creation environment, and really talks about the 12-year life of 5 people.
Chen Sicheng won the numbness. He can make money by filming "Tang Detective", and he can make money by remaking "Manslaughter", and now he makes money standing when he is engaged in original storytelling. What's even more powerful is that before the release of "The Three Teams", Chen Sicheng also muttered - he was afraid that this movie would be too obscure, too boring, and too "middle-aged", and the audience would not like to watch it.
The current results of "The Big Three" are the best results he imagined. Facts have proved that Chen Sicheng has played the market thoroughly, and the birth of "Three Teams" is the result of Chen Sicheng knowing that he can't do it. He actually has ideals.
A director who understands business, can make movies, and can grasp emotions now has what he wants to pursue. It's scary. Could it be that China's next great director is Chen Sicheng?This plot is really enough for "Ning Hao".
