The Spring Festival of 2021 has officially arrived, happy New Year everyone.
This year's Spring Festival movies are about to be released. So far, " Chinatown Detective 3" (hereinafter referred to as "Tang Detective 3") is still the biggest winner.
The pre-sale box office of the movie "Tang Detective 3" exceeded 500 million.
The pre-sale box office of one movie has exceeded the sum of several other Spring Festival movies.
has now predicted the final box office of "Tang Detective 3", which may even surpass the 5.7 billion box office of " Wolf Warrior 2 " and become the first in Chinese film history.
Behind all this is one person, the director of the "Tang Detective" series and the builder of "Tang Detective Universe".
—— Chen Sicheng !
Chen Sicheng is a controversial figure in the Chinese film and television entertainment industry.
But Chen Sicheng has become indispensable in the Chinese film industry, because the films he directed have accumulated a box office of about 5 billion.
"Tang Detective 1" has a box office of more than 800 million, "Tang Detective 2" has a box office of more than 3.3 billion, and the suspense film " manslaughter " produced by the company also earned more than 800 million at the box office. If "Tang Detective 3" is really 5 billion+
, there is no doubt that Chen Sicheng will be the next Chinese director to accumulate a box office of 10 billion.
This is an achievement that many great Chinese directors have not accomplished, and Chen Sicheng is also a leader among Chinese young directors.
The most important thing is that this series is not over yet after Chen Sicheng's "Tang Detective 3". There is a good chance to build the "Tang Detective Universe", and the new film "Mozart in Space" will make another trilogy.
Chen Sicheng is indeed controversial, but he has become indispensable in Chinese movies.
"Soldier Assault", a ten-year myth
Chen Sicheng was born in a cadre family in Shenyang in 1978. In 1994, he was admitted to Shanghai Normal University and became classmates with Zhao Wei.
was finally expelled from the theater for two years because of a fight. Li Xuetong officially recommended him to enter Central Academy of Drama and so on.
These things are very important life experiences for Chen Sicheng, but to Chinese audiences they are just a promotion path for a bunch of actors.
The watershed moment in Chen Sicheng's life was definitely his participation in the TV series "Soldier Assault".
How classic is this drama itself?
are actors from TV series, Wang Baoqiang , Chen Sicheng , Duan Yihong , Zhang Yi , Xing Jiadong , Zhang Guoqiang , Li Chen and so on.
Wang Baoqiang became a national actor from "Shagen" and "Xu Sanduo", and Zhang Yi went through many ups and downs and became the mainstay of the Mesozoic actors in the Mainland.
Duan Yihong step by step went from a marginal role to a powerful actor in mainland China; Li Chen achieved great success by choosing traffic, but suffered deeply when the traffic collapsed.
plus Chen Sicheng, who has achieved great success behind the scenes -
has contributed five famous figures to the Chinese film and television industry, and it can be called one of China's top dramas!
"Soldier Assault" has brought great success to a group of actors, and the same is true for Chen Sicheng.
is smart, shrewd, snobbish, stubborn and purposeful.
Due to the problem of role positioning, "Chengcai" brought unprecedented attention to Chen Sicheng, and also locked Chen Sicheng's image. To this day, Chen Sicheng's impression in the eyes of the public is that of a talented person.
Chengcai brought popularity to Chen Sicheng, just like Grandma Rong did to Li Mingqi . This kind of success is not entirely a good thing.
After "Soldier Assault", every time the actors attended an event together, fans flocked to Zhang Yi, Duan Yihong, and even Wang Baoqiang.
"Anyway, I think you are that kind of person (Chengcai). I don't like the kind of person who plays tricks." According to some media interviews later, even though more than ten years have passed, Chen Sicheng is the only one who has been ridiculed and unpopular.
had another incident, recording "Artistic Life" after "Soldier Assault".

had another incident, recording "Artistic Life" after "Soldier Assault".
Chen Sicheng and the famous screenwriter Lan Xiaolong started fighting on the spot because Lan Xiaolong said something:
"Xu Sanduo will succeed, but he will not."
Finally, the clip of Chen Sicheng and Lan Xiaolong choking each other was It was cut off and became a legend without knowing the truth.
But Chen Sicheng was indeed very "confident" when he was young. There are countless examples of
. If we look back at the role of "Chengcai". Sometimes I really can't tell whether director Kang Honglei is too accurate in casting, or whether Chen Sicheng's acting skills are too good.
At that time, Chen Sicheng became a talent both in success and failure!
You share the cake, I make the cake
After "Soldier Assault", perhaps because of the different attention brought by "becoming a talent", Chen Sicheng thought about development.
After "Soldier Assault", Chen Sicheng's popularity increased rapidly. When most of the film offers came to him, Chen Sicheng basically turned down them.
ended up accepting only one movie, "The Night of Indulging Spring Breeze" by sixth-generation director Lou Ye.
You must know that at that time, Lou Ye was banned from filming a certain movie for five years.
At this time, taking on this kind of "underground art film" was definitely a way of breaking away from business and the public. As a result, Chen Sicheng was nominated for the Best Actor Award at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival for his "Spring Breeze Night".
This is probably the time when Chen Sicheng has achieved the highest honor as an actor.
Of course, when many people "examine" Chen Sicheng's journey, they tend to ignore this important experience.
Subsequently, Chen Sicheng participated in several film and television dramas that changed his acting career, which brought considerable changes to his image as an actor. For Chen Sicheng, nothing compares to his determination to follow his own path.
Chen Sicheng always wanted to control his own destiny, and finally transformed into a producer, director and screenwriter.
Since then, the TV series "Beijing Love Story" turned out to be the second peak of Chen Sicheng's career as an actor, at least in the public sense.
The "talent" attribute of this TV series is still obvious. The actors starring in the TV series are all brothers of "Soldier Assault".
How successful "Beijing Love Story" is, there has been intense public discussion about the "brothers breaking up" because of this drama.
At the same time, the script of "Beijing Love Story" was also controversial. Screenwriter Li Yaling jumped out and accused Chen Sicheng of "exclusively taking credit." The two chose to confront Bo in court, and finally reconciled through court mediation.
Chen Sicheng's attempt to create "Beijing Love Story" has been an unprecedented success. Although the process of "becoming a talent" is also obvious, it also contains the risk of huge backlash.
No matter what, Chen Sicheng changed from the person who shared the cake to the person behind the cake.
But Chen Sicheng’s ambitions don’t stop there.
"Tang Tan Universe", the first person in China?
After the TV series version of "Beijing Love Story" achieved great success.
A TV station director told Chen Sicheng that he should formulate a three-step strategy and make one or two similar TV series. You will be the next Zhao Baogang.
When the movie version of "Beijing Love Story" was a huge success at the box office, everyone thought he would continue to make romance movies.
Chen Sicheng's thinking was different from that of ordinary people. He chose to shoot a mystery comedy movie.
——" Chinatown Detective "!
If you want to ask Chen Sicheng why he wanted to film "Tang Detective". The answers that
can find now are all from Chen Sicheng, who has returned to what he is really good at.
Whether it is the military drama "Soldier Assault", the literary film "Spring Breeze Night", or the romance film "Beijing Love Story", they are all relatively unfamiliar to Chen Sicheng.
Because Chen Sicheng is a mystery fan and has experience in reading a large number of suspense mystery works.
The mystery of the birth of "Tang Detective" has long been known to the world. In 2013, Chen Sicheng was filming in Thailand and passed by Chinatown. An idea flashed in his mind, and a scene from a detective mystery film appeared in his mind.
"Detective Chinatown" was born for this reason. The movie series
has not only become one of the most famous IPs in China, but also the Chinese audience has witnessed Chen Sicheng step by step into "Tang Tan Universe".
Chen Sicheng may not have had the idea of building an movie universe when making "Tang Detective 1", because it can be seen from the treatment at the end of the movie and the digging and burying of pits in the story.
However, due to the huge commercial success of "Tang Detective 1", "Tang Detective 2" came into being.
At this time, Chen Sicheng had already deeply buried the idea of "Tang Detective Universe". "Tang Detective 2" introduced the "Crimaste World Detective Ranking" to introduce the protagonists of the universe.
It is too weak to have only the protagonist and no villain, before the movie "Tang Detective 3" was released.
Chen Sicheng filmed the "Tang Detective Online Drama" again, further strengthening Q and "Smiley Face", making the villain an organization rather than a single villain in the series of movies.
The only thing missing from "Tang Detective Universe" is the final step of "Tang Detective 3"!
Chen Sicheng is no longer a smart and snobbish talent. He wants to be the first person to build China's "movie universe".
The "Tang Detective" series is by no means as great and bright as it appears.
, just like "Tangtan Universe", whether it can be completely successful is still unknown.
Until today, many people hold the same view: Chen Sicheng is just a persona, and he has no great talent.
Good movies are all about good screenwriters, good teams, good actors, etc. Chen Sicheng is just very smart and can integrate all these.
The "Tang Detective" series is the same as "Tang Detective Universe", it is nothing more than a Chinese commercial series of movies.
In the final analysis, all this is "the foil of peers".
But let’s think about it again, why are there no shortage of good screenwriters, good teams, good actors and good teams under other great Chinese directors, but so far they have not created a "movie universe"?
Domestic commercial series blockbusters in recent years.
Either the "Di Renjie" or "Journey to the West" series are getting worse and worse with each film.
is either like the "Action Series" or the "Hong Kong Police and Robbery Movie", and there is not much connection between the previous and later works.
There are a large number of domestic seasonal dramas, and most of the sequels do not even have the original cast.
How many domestic commercial films can catch up with the script, film structure, film language, and completion of commercial series of the "Tang Detective" series?
How many domestic films can match the entertainment, commerciality, popularity, and execution capabilities of the movie universe construction of the "Tang Detective" series?
assumes that Chen Sicheng is just a shrewd and snobbish person without much ability at all.
Why haven’t the big guys in China’s film and television industry cultivated such a team and built such a “movie universe”?
Actually there is really no such thing.
But why not?
In fact, it is not difficult for us to admit Chen Sicheng's ability.
's recognition of his natural abilities does not mean denying his other problems.
"Detective Chinatown 3": Will Chen Sicheng succeed or fail?
"Tang Detective 3" has been officially released today, as Chen Sicheng said in previous promotions.
After "Tang Detective 3", Qin Feng and Tang Ren's main plot will come to an end, and other "Tang Detective movies" will definitely be filmed.
Anyone who has watched "Tang Tan Online Drama" knows that the protagonist may be Lin Mo played by Qiu Ze. Even if it's not Lin Mo, there are many detective protagonists that the "World Detective Ranking" can correct.
Now the villain already has the "Smiley Face Organization", Lvy, played by Junning Zhang , has arrived in London.
From "Tang Detective 1" to the "Tang Detective Universe" that will be formed, only Chen Sicheng knows how much hard work and joy there is.
“I don’t think I’m smart. Being smart can’t make a person get where he is today. I need to take pictures of my own things, go my own way, and find more wisdom in life."
The 42-year-old Chen Sicheng, who was born in 1978, has been upgraded from the original " Xu Sanduo + Chengcai person's AB side" to the leader of China's first "movie universe" empire.
This "person" is difficult to distinguish To sum it up.
Chen Sicheng is no longer a shrewd and snobbish "talent", but now he is just one step away from being a great film director and the head of the "movie universe".
We have all become witnesses. This is a blessing. An observation.
All this has officially begun with the release of "Tang Detective 3" today -
