Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron: Controversy Caused by a Kiss
Special feature of 1905 film network As the 26th theatrical version of the series, it set a new record with its excellent production, and the box office in Japan exceeded 13.8 billion yen, becoming the first "10 billion" giant system in Conan’s theatrical version series, refreshing the box office performance of the series in Japan.
On December 16th, Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of Black Iron was officially released in China, which lived up to the expectations and love of Ke fans, and the annual big screen appointment arrived as scheduled!

This theatrical version of the plot returns to the main story, and the dark organization comes on stage strongly, targeting a high-tech facility connecting police surveillance around the world on Hachiba Island in Tokyo — — "Pacific Buoy", Conan, Haibara Ai and the people around them are about to face an unprecedented crisis, and a battle for the peak of the Red-Black camp, which is assembled by all the staff, has officially started.

All members are assembled and the lineup is strong.
One of the highlights of Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of the Black Iron that excites fans and fans is the appearance of many popular characters in Conan’s universe, which has brought about the largest red-black war between Conan camp and dark organizations in history.

In Conan’s camp, the FBI, represented by Akai Shuuichi, the police force, represented by police officers Kuroda Hyoue and Mu Mu Mu, and the CIA spy Bentang Yinghai, joined forces with Conan to fight against the vicious dark organization. In this film, the villain An Shitou, who is deeply loved by fans, and the FBI, on behalf of Akai Shuuichi’s male gods, all appeared together and blew up the screen.

As for the villain black group, the dark group headed by Gin made a comeback, and the backbone groups of wineries such as absinthe Bejie, vodka, sweet twips and Koren appeared, and a brand-new villain "Binga" joined the duel, making its debut on the screen as the confidant and backbone of Rum. Conan confronted the attack of the dark organization and explored the conspiracy and secret behind the case.

The red and black sides fought at the top of the sea, and gathered at the Pacific buoy in the middle of the sea from land, water and air. There were not only exciting car chasing scenes, Conan skateboarding and jumping off cliffs, fireworks and football, but also high-tech diving, submarine chasing and torpedo blasting.


In addition, this film also centers on the identity crisis of Haibara Ai for the first time. As we all know, Haibara Ai is not a real primary school student, but, like Conan, her body becomes smaller after drinking a mysterious drug named APTX4869. Her real identity is Miyano Shiho, a scientist. This time, we will show more unknown stories about Haibara Ai, so that the audience can have a deeper understanding of this role.

Box office word of mouth fell short of expectations.
Different from the popularity in Japan, Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of the Black Iron is not so ideal in domestic reputation and box office, with a cumulative box office of 77 million in three days and a douban score of 6.6. What brings such a big gap?


First of all, there is a lack of reasoning. Many viewers’ understanding of Conan is still a reasoning animation. However, in recent years, some comments such as thin reasoning and imperfect logic often appear in the drama version. In recent years, almost all the theater versions are action adventure movies, focusing on the depiction of the scene, and there are very few reasoning elements, and such problems also appear in this film.

In Detective Conan: The Fish Shadow of the Black Iron, the time of the murder is relatively late, and the murderer’s modus operandi is relatively straightforward. Although it is not difficult, it is still based on scientific and technological means. Including "Sleeping Kogoro", the resumption time is only five to ten minutes, and the key point is only one sentence "Monitoring has been modified". As a reasoning animation, such a slightly perfunctory reasoning bridge naturally makes the audience feel not enough.
Secondly, the propaganda effect brought about by the CP dispute is self-defeating. Because Fish Shadow of Black Iron is a plot around Haibara Ai, and there is also the plot of Haibara Ai and Conan’s artificial respiration in the film, the most basic official propaganda is mainly Haibara Ai, which triggered a fierce debate between the "Ke Ai Party" and the "New Zealand Party", which led to a large number of "New Zealand Party" boycotting this work.


Finally, there is the confusion in the theme setting of the film. The themes in the film cover anti-racial discrimination, children’s power, doubts about the rapid development of science and technology, etc. Each of these themes is a topic worthy of deep thought, but the film tries to grasp them all, but it becomes a pot of stew when written together, and none of them is taken care of.

Conan has been serialized since 1994, and it has been an IP for nearly 30 years, accompanying the growth of generation after generation. In the future, I hope that he will continue to fight evil like a silver bullet and bring beauty to the world. I look forward to a better encounter with Detective Conan in the next decade!
