Disappointingly, Pan Changjiang's new film imitated "Hot Blooded Detective" and gave a bad review, with a box office of only 48 on the first day of release90 thousand.
On February 7, the online Spring Festival movie "Five-Foot Detective" starring Pan Changjiang was officially released.
In recent years, the production of online Spring Festival schedules has also achieved remarkable success. Not only are there action movies starring Ahn Zhijie and Semyon that have reached the pinnacle, but there are also star-studded movies like "It's All Coming". However, the large-scale production that changed the network was withdrawn from the theater chain, and comedy movies became an indispensable part. Happy Twist's works "The Strongest ** in History" and Sun Yue's "Violent God of Wealth 5" have received widespread attention.
Online movies are different from theaters that are released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, because online movies have a long box office billing period, so from the beginning of February, a new movie will be launched almost every day during the online Spring Festival. This year, the box office of online movies has shown a downward trend as a whole. Previously, An Zhijie's movie "Black and White Sneaking" and Zhang Hao's "Diamond Robbery" both achieved good results at the box office, but when it came to Pan Changjiang's "Five-Foot Detective", the box office fell sharply.
Disappointingly, Pan Changjiang's new film debuted during the Spring Festival, and despite the slightly rough production quality and poor reviews, it earned only 48 percent at the box office90 thousand.
According to the data, when "Five-Foot Detective" debuted on the three major ** platforms of Taogeku, the box office revenue was only 4890 thousand.
This achievement not only performed quite poorly in the online Spring Festival schedule, but even in the daily schedule, it was slightly embarrassing, and its performance was even more disappointing compared with the new films in the online Spring Festival schedule in the same period.
The movie "Black and White Sneaking" starring An Zhijie was exclusively broadcast on February 4 at Kuchang. The account-sharing box office on the first day reached an astonishing 3.33 million, and in the first four days of release, the cumulative box office was close to 12 million, easily winning the 2024 online box office championship, and the final account-sharing box office is expected to exceed 40 million. An Zhijie's performance is amazing, he is not only comfortable in acting, but also unrivaled in the charm shown in action movies. This once again shows the dominance of the large-scale action movie An Zhijie on the Internet.
The movie "The Great Diamond Robbery", which was released on February 6, was directed and starred by Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao, who started with online joke dramas, has significantly improved his directing skills in recent years. "The Great Diamond Robbery" directed by him was very popular, and the box office reached 2.24 million on the first day. Compared to Black and White Stealth, it's a little underwhelming, but it's really impressive due to the relatively low production cost of comedy films.
Judging from the box office of "Five Feet Detective" on the first day of less than 500,000, according to the development trend of the movie, its final account-sharing box office is about 5 million.
This time, Pan Changjiang entered the Spring Festival schedule for the first time, but he invited many stars, such as Fan Shaohuang, Yu Yang, Yang Shulin and Pan Yang, etc., who were all invited to make cameo roles. It is expected that the production cost will not be less than 10 million, so the chance of return on investment for "Five Feet Detective" is relatively low.
Most of the reviews about the movie are negative, especially the parts that are plagiarized and not made in detail enough.
Pan Changjiang plagiarized "Hot Blooded Police Detective", imitated Stephen Chow, and paid tribute to "The Matrix", his plagiarism is all cutting corners!
Five Feet Detective is considered a low-quality web blockbuster.
In the movie, Pan Changjiang plays the five-foot-tall detective Pan Tianzhu, who became famous in the capital 10 years ago, and his trial ability is astounding! Pan Tianzhu took the five-foot detective waist card given by the emperor, and his heart was full of emotion. He was given the five-foot-tall Detective Waist Plaque from the Imperial Gift.
However, as Pan Tianzhu enters old age, he has hardly solved any cases in the past 10 years. Pan Tianzhu, who was eager to prove his ability, looked around for clues, but accidentally caught the undercover agent of the military department Shangshu, so he was sent to Fog Town as the head catcher by the chief catcher.
As soon as Pan Tianzhu stepped on this place, he felt confused.
Pan Tianzhu originally hoped to solve several major cases in order to make the chief catcher regain a good impression of Pan Tianzhu and return to the Six Doors. However, he didn't expect that Fogtown was actually a paradise on earth. In the past 20 years, there have been almost no cases here, and no one has even gone to the county office to seek justice for themselves. The Yamen catchers play with the children every day, and the county magistrate makes steamed buns on the street every day and gives them to the people for free, all of which seem to be harmonious, but there is a touch of weirdness.
But when Pan Tianzhu left, a major incident occurred immediately, the richest man Li Fufu, the widow Wang who sold tofu, and the Wang lawyer of the county government all quickly received the box lunch.
Pan Tianzhu observed that the entire town, with the exception of the newly recruited apprentices, seemed to be fighting against him.
This movie seems scary at first glance, but it really makes people laugh and cry because the whole film doesn't seem to have its own content.
The plot of this movie is completely a parody or remake of the classic British suspense film "Hot Blooded Detective".
This one won 8The outstanding work of 2 points depicts a detective from London, who is born with the ability to catch thieves and solve crimes, and is considered the best police officer in the London Police, which also arouses the jealousy of the sheriff, so he is transferred to a remote town as a police officer.
The town has not had any cases for decades, and the detectives of London are also troubled by the failure of their heroes to show their talents, and the son of the town's leader also wants to become his apprentice, and as time goes on, the town gradually discovers some strange cases.
From the plot to the setting of the characters, "Five Feet Detective" is almost copied one by one.
Then, they incorporated elements of what is known as local humor.
First of all, the movie shows some vulgar plots, such as a widow in the town who sells tofu. As a result, the lines of the movie are full of frivolous ingredients, as if everyone in the town has tasted Widow Wang's tofu. Widow Wang herself said that she welcomed Pan Tianzhu to taste her tofu.
With a low-cut tulle skirt, it is almost like painting a pattern on the face to rub the edge and sell meat.
Another way is Pan Changjiang's joke about his figure, everyone in the movie will laugh at Pan Tianzhu's height, and Pan Tianzhu will also jump around and shout as if he is angry, saying: "What's wrong with my shortness." Pan Changjiang's self-deprecation aroused the audience's sensitivity to height, and the laughter in the film did not stop, but some people began to reflect on whether this kind of discrimination should be a laughing point of entertainment. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly discriminatory against height. Although Pan Changjiang was just laughing at himself, many viewers also found it an offense, and with the fact that there were too many such jokes, it lost its appeal.
The third method is used in modern times as antiquity.
The film's ban on drunk driving and prison-themed restaurants are quite interesting, and they are also unique highlights of the whole film. Pan Tianzhu sang a tortuous river in front of his brother in the film, which made many viewers sigh that his previous funny talent was too good.
Regarding the so-called star-studded gathering, it is actually all about attracting attention. Yu Yang and Yang Shulin appeared for less than five minutes, while Fan Shaohuang was a character without warning, his fight ended in just 10 seconds, and he called himself a "mystery man". originally thought that he played a decisive role in the plot, but I didn't expect him to show up again, more like a cameo character to attract attention.
Pan Changjiang was not only satisfied with being funny this time, the 68-year-old also started a fight scene at the end of the film.
Dodging bullets is apparently a nod to The Matrix, and the apprentice's rescue operation is also a parody of Stephen Chow's role in Kung Fu, played by a charter man.
This kind of plot depends entirely on the preferences of the audience and can be seen as a tribute to the classics and, of course, can be criticized as parody or plagiarism.
* The whole "Five Feet Detective" did not disappoint, but Pan Changjiang's performance as a comedic performance artist in recent years has been really disappointing. This time, he even deliberately lowered the quality when copying the assignment, which disappointed the audience a little.
