Chinatown detective 2
Special feature of 1905 film network The second part of the "Tang Detective" series has met with you in the Spring Festival. If the first action reasoning comedy is a new attempt, then the director Chen Sicheng is even bolder in the second part. He opened a brand-new "detective universe" similar to the Marvel movie universe in his new film. Then, that is to say, the "Tang Detective" series is bound to travel all over the world in Chinatown!
Chinatown is an area where Chinese live in concentrated communities abroad, which is what we call China City. Up to now, except Antarctica, there are many Chinatowns on every continent, totaling nearly 70. Detective chinatown has been to Bangkok and new york.
As a witness to the history of overseas Chinese, Chinatown gives countless wanderers a sense of belonging. Besides Chen Sicheng, there are also many directors who are willing to tell stories related to Chinatown in movies, such as roman polanski’s. But there are not many real shots in Chinatown.
Today, we have carefully selected ten amazing Chinatowns. Let’s go shopping with the movies. I would also like to make a suggestion to director Chen, and "Tang Tan" can go in this order next!
