He’s coming, he’s coming, he’s coming with a sharp sickle for our wallets!
This man, Chen Sicheng, is back with Detective Chinatown 3!
Actually, I got into the Detective Chinatown series not through the movies but the web series of the same name that aired a while back. The actors’ performances are online, the plot is rigorous, the style is beautiful, and the movie quality is excellent, super enjoyable! If you haven’t watched it, watch it during the Spring Festival at home!
As a sideline for the movie, it set the hearts of many people on fire before it was released, so the presale for Detective Chinatown 3 has already exceeded 100 million yuan in 23 hours, making it the biggest winner in the presale box office for this year’s New Year’s film.
Starring Wang Baoqiang, Liu Haoran, Wife-Husband Wood, Tony Jaa, Miura Yuwa, Nagasawa Masami, Asano Tadanobu, Xiao Yang, Zhang Zifeng, Shang Yuxian, Qiu Ze, Zhang Junning, etc.
Old faces and new members, all are acting masters, the plot also continues the previous standard, this drama, it is difficult to not be good! Detective Chinatown 2 earned 3.3 billion yuan at the box office, let’s wait and see if Detective Chinatown 3 can break 5 billion?
Speaking of the movie itself, the first two films were set in Bangkok and Manhattan, this time Chen Sicheng has moved to Japan. At the invitation of the famous Japanese detective, Noda Hao, Tang Ren and Qin Feng come to Tokyo to investigate a bizarre murder case.
Watching the trailer, I have already found several filming locations, you can come for a movie and cherry blossom trip in the next March and April!
Moreover, Japan has opened online application mode for visas for some single Chinese tourist groups.
And its ultimate goal is to introduce e-visas for all Chinese citizens applying for single-entry tourist visas (including groups and individuals) from April 2020! You can achieve “say go and go”!
The busiest intersection in the world
In order to film a shot of 3,000-4,000 people crossing a traffic light, the crew of Detective Chinatown 3 used more than 10,000 extras to recreate the bustling crowds of Shibuya.
Wang Baoqiang said, “The scene of people coming and going is very large, it was a very difficult shoot.”
Liu Haoran said bluntly, “If running a carriage in Times Square is something I haven’t done for many years, then throwing money in Shibuya is something that no one has ever done before.”

In addition, Shinjuku is a favorite filming location for many movies and TV shows. Lost in Translation, Your Name, Shinjuku Incident, and many other movies and TV shows have been filmed here. This time, Detective Chinatown 3 also has Shinjuku’s shadow in it.

Anime, games, and figurines are everywhere, colorful buildings, billboards of all sizes, various popular anime merchandise, and often cosplayed anime characters dressed as young boys and girls, the walls are covered with various character stickers, it feels like shuttling between the 2D and 3D world.
There are also various maid cafes, idol-exclusive theaters, and more. If you like 2D culture, you can’t miss it.
Japanese landmark
Fans of Japanese dramas will be familiar with Tokyo Tower, which is the most romantic landmark in Tokyo. It always appears in the various envy-inducing stories in Japanese dramas.
Lovers in real life also often come to Tokyo Tower for a sweet date.
The movie’s filming location is coming to an end, the next March and April is the most beautiful season in Japan, cherry blossoms are blooming in every corner of the country. After checking in at the city’s attractions, you can take the Shinkansen to these places around to see cherry blossoms and enjoy the scenery.
As one of the few Mount Fuji sightseeing spots, every spring when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, photographers flock here to capture Mount Fuji and the cherry blossoms in one shot.

Among the spots for taking pictures of Mount Fuji and cherry blossoms in Japan, Lake Kawaguchi is the most popular. Besides Lake Kawaguchi, another recommended spot for viewing Mount Fuji cherry blossoms is Junjigawa Ryuganbuchi in Shizuoka.

You can enjoy close-up views and photos of the magnificent Mount Fuji, the sea of Somei Yoshino cherry blossoms and rivers, and rapeseed flowers, all very beautiful. It’s also easy to get there from Tokyo by JR or bus, and it’s a hidden gem for Mount Fuji cherry blossoms near Tokyo.

This is a magical train: Kamakura Small Train – Enoden. From Enoden, it goes to endless youth.

It’s a little different from ordinary trains, its route is limited to the Kamakura area, it’s simply built in the streets of Kamakura.

The buildings and houses on both sides are very close to the train, sometimes when the train goes to the corner, it even feels like it’s touching the houses on both sides.

The scenery along the way exudes a unique Shonan lifestyle, as if the branches reaching out from those courtyards are within reach.
The next stop is the pilgrimage site in the hearts of countless anime fans: Kamakura High School Station. The most famous shot in the opening of Slam Dunk, Sakuragi Hanamichi and Haruko waving goodbye at the crossing, was filmed at the intersection of Kamakura High School Station.

As a symbol of good luck and prosperity, the beckoning cat has long been loved by the Japanese.
The birthplace of the beckoning cat, Gotokuji Temple, has over 1,000 beckoning cats lined up side by side. Whether it’s foreign tourists or locals, they can’t help but be surprised when they see this scenery for the first time, and feel like they’re getting a lot of good luck.
Ema, which is used to write down wishes, has drawings of cats in addition to the Kannon Bodhisattva and the zodiac. You can often see “Bless Meow Meow to be healthy and long-lived” ema left by “cat slaves” here, which is also a unique scenery.
At Gotokuji Temple, you can buy beckoning cats and dedicate them to the temple with your wishes. Of course, you can also take the beckoning cat you bought home and keep it by your side until your wish comes true.
It would be best to return to Gotokuji Temple after your wish comes true and offer the beckoning cat to the temple with a grateful heart.
There is also a beckoning cat element in the poster for Detective Chinatown 3.
Every year from late April to mid-May, the most popular flower viewing spots in the suburbs of Tokyo are Ashikaga Flower Park and Hitachi Seaside Park.
Ashikaga is a dreamy purple waterfall, while Hitachi is a pink-blue baby eye.

Within Hitachi Seaside Park, the 4.5 million blue-toned baby blue eyes planted on the hilltop come into full bloom in late April and early May each year, making the whole hill look as blue as the sky.

90 years ago, people planted 8 kilometers of cherry blossom trees along the bank of the Shirakawa River. Today, these cherry blossom trees stand against the snowy mountains, with the flow of the Shirakawa River, forming an exceptionally spectacular cherry blossom tunnel, which is amazing.
It is called “Hitome Senbonzakura” because, as the name suggests, you can see thousands of cherry blossom trees at a glance, which shows how dense the cherry blossoms are. Moreover, the varieties of cherry blossoms are also increasing, including the “Phantom Species” Sendai Yoshino cherry blossom.
Since it’s cherry blossoms blooming on the water’s edge, boat viewing is a must. During the Cherry Blossom Festival in mid-April each year, you can take a boat to see the cherry blossoms, a 2.3-kilometer round trip, and you can see all the cherry blossoms on both sides of the river in the 20-minute journey.
Speaking of the movie itself, Chen Sicheng said in an interview that he intends to make the Detective Chinatown IP into a universe like Marvel, with different characters playing out different stories independently. Are you looking forward to it?
During the Spring Festival, the virus is rampant, if you go out to watch movies, be sure to wear masks and take safety precautions!
