The Spring Festival is approaching, and the Spring Festival, the most important period of the year for the film industry, is also ushering in the time when new films are scheduled to be released one after another. Jia Ling's "Hot", Zhang Yimou's "Article 22", and Han Han's "Flying Life 2" are very popular discussion.
In addition to the previously scheduled "Mr. Red Carpet", "Bear Bear Reversal of Time and Space", and "Let's Shake the Sun Together", this year's Spring Festival already has its own "Six King Kong", and there is a trend of adding more new films. .
Zhang Yimou's "Article 20": luxurious lineup, unexpected subject matter
The one currently on the list that I want to watch is "Article 20". Veteran director Zhang Yimou achieved his box office rejuvenation with "Man Jiang Hong" last year, and I have confidence in him this year The audience has increased significantly.
The most talked about part of this movie is the cast. From the male protagonist Lei Jiayin to the guest stars Zhang Yi, Fan Wei, Yu Hewei, etc., from the comedian Ma Li to the 85-year-old Zhao Liying, Gao Ye, etc., almost all of them are familiar faces to the audience. The appeal of director
is clearly reflected in the cast. As soon as the official announcement came out, netizens continued to discuss the starring lineup. In terms of topics and cast popularity, "Article 20" enjoyed unique advantages.
Among the new film themes, "Article 20" is also the most special one. It is a comedy film that I like very much during the Spring Festival, and it also has genre elements that are rarely involved in Spring Festival films. The trailer has the feel of a TV series.
The title "Article 20" refers to the regulation of "legitimate defense". The story involves two hot topics: school bullying and legitimate defense. Starting from the prosecutor played by Lei Jiayin, it tells a story about defending fairness and justice. The subject matter of
is very new for the Spring Festival. It is not our common Spring Festival comedy. The story that seems to be more group portrait will be more appealing. It is a bold attempt to break the convention.
But breaking the rules always brings opportunities and risks.
Combining genre materials with comedy and life style seems more suitable for the small screen. However, comedies and Zhang Yimou themselves can break the rules. I hope he can give the audience new results.
Han Han's "Flying Life 2": The passion returns, the feelings continue
Many people should still remember the Spring Festival of 2019. "The Wandering Earth" was released during the Spring Festival of that year, but this phenomenon-level dark horse took the box office by storm. Below, other works still performed well.
Among them, second only to "The Wandering Earth" in terms of reputation and popularity, "Flying Life" starring Han Han and director Shen Teng tells the hilarious and passionate return of a frustrated racing driver, and also leaves a touching suspense.
Without the sea in Bayinbulak, could Zhang Chi survive?
html It is currently unknown whether the answer will be given in "Flying Life 2" after 2004, but it gave Zhang Chi another story. The former champion and now a down-and-out coach built a grassroots team to fight Bayinbrook again!
The trailer still has the same old feel as the first one, with Korean (Han Han) humor and heavy comedy complementing each other. Audiences who liked the first work should be ecstatic about the return of the second one.
has not seen the first work, so she may need Shen Teng's filter and subsequent word-of-mouth to appeal. As the former third runner-up in the Spring Festival, the box office performance of the series may not be soaring, but it should not be too bad.
Jia Ling's "Hot and Spicy": The pain points are sharp and the comedy continues
From "Hello, Li Huanying" to "Hot and Spicy", the most sensitive thing about director Jia Ling is that she is very good at capturing the audience's pain points. The last time it was the parent-child relationship The warmth and regret, this time, is the confusion and excitement of life.
The story she chose, "Hot and Spicy," tells the inspirational reversal of the heroine from lying down in confusion to finding her life goal. The core is very contagious. The original work "One Hundred Dollar Love" has gained a high reputation.
Regarding this work, the public was originally worried that the plot and style of the original version were relatively depressing, and a more realistic and painful way was used to depict the protagonist's early decadence. A similar style may not match the atmosphere of the Spring Festival release.
But judging from the trailer, the core of the story has not changed, but the style is completely different. Jia Ling chose her best humorous comedy method to present the protagonist's experience and counterattack, protecting and retaining inspiration and adding laughter.
Such an adaptation may have some impact on fans of the original work, but it is friendly to most viewers during the Spring Festival. Once the protagonist's inspirational twist can make the audience empathize, the probability of Jia Ling once again becoming a hit in the Spring Festival is very high. big.
"Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space": The strongest nail shop, making a fortune in silence
I believe that more than one audience has the same impression of "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" as in Chapter 7. The "inexplicable" existence of the Spring Festival show—— The strongest nail-biter - Guoman is so awesome!
At first, influenced by the Chinese comics I watched when I was a child, I mistakenly thought that it was a young IP that specialized in "cutting off" parent-child leeks in order to have a place in the Spring Festival stalls. I even couldn't help but sigh that children's tickets are so profitable.
later discovered that this IP was invincible not because it was the most suitable work for parents and children to choose during the Spring Festival, but because it had something interesting. Up to now, I have already lamented the silent efforts of Guoman because of my understanding.
The Spring Festival has been around for many years, and the "Bear Bears" series has been around for many years, but it has not stagnated because it has become a staple of the Spring Festival. On the contrary, it has continued to improve and grow in terms of scripts and special effects.
Story core and visual special effects, these are the charms of commercial animation movies. They have long since got rid of the "young age" constraints many years ago. Instead, they are suitable for both children and adults, and basically no big mistakes have been made.
If you just want to choose a work that won’t fall into traps during the Spring Festival, objectively speaking, "Bear Bears" is the most stable choice. It is not exclusive to children. It has long been proven that it has made a fortune in silence for many years. sincerity.
Han Yan's "Let's Shake the Sun Together": With a small cost, can it become a dark horse? Among
's 6 works that have been scheduled, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" seems to be the least favored by the market at present, because the cast team is very young, and Peng Yuchang & Li Gengxi are not guaranteed to box office during the Spring Festival.
The love story makes people feel like a lover's movie accidentally slipped into the Spring Festival movie. Regardless of the cast and the story style, this movie seems to be a Spring Festival movie that will be abandoned by theaters and can only be used as cannon fodder.
However, after watching the related materials of "Let's Shake the Sun Together", Qihua felt that if the film schedule is reasonable, this film is the most potential dark horse among the six King Kong films. It is not "luxurious", but it is very sincere.
director Han Yan is an emotional master who combines tear-jerking and healing. His masterpiece "Get Out!" Tumor King" "Send you a little red flower" "I love you! 》etc., each one has great potential.
Finding energy in pain and blooming sunshine in the dust is the soul of his works.
This time, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" also focuses on patients who are desperately trying to get out of the haze. It is adapted from a true story. The male and female protagonists use the most "utilitarian" marriage to leverage the most tear-jerking agreement.
together create the most splendid and sunny ending. Even from the written story, you can feel the touching and healing feeling in it. I hope that this "small work" that is not favored can achieve its "big scene".
Ning Hao's "Mr. Red Carpet": Seeing Andy again, will he still be the missing child?
Model worker Andy Lau has continued to produce films, including "Goldfinger" and "Sneak" during the New Year, and "Mr. Red Carpet" during the New Year. His emotional bonus and personal charm, coupled with the quality of director Ning Hao, made him quite popular.
When "Mr. Red Carpet" was screened at film festivals earlier, it also received a lot of praise. When it was first released, it became the most talked-about work at the time and was very popular at the box office.
But I don’t know if it was because of the good reputation in the early stage, which led to the “management decision” to change the show to the Spring Festival. This is a big publicity challenge for "Mr. Red Carpet" because after two months, there has been enthusiastic discussion about it online. Obvious reduction.
Among the 6 King Kong released during the Spring Festival, it even slipped to the bottom of Maoyan’s want-to-watch index.
Whether the film can regain the popularity it had when it was first scheduled to be released is the challenge currently facing "Mr. Red Carpet". I hope that Andy Lau's Spring Festival movie will not become a Spring Festival relic like "The Crowd". .
6 movies have different themes and have their own advantages. Overall, the works of Jia Ling, Han Han, and Zhang Yimou are the most popular, while Han Yan and Ning Hao have good reputations and have room for counterattack. The final winner of
will be announced in a month.
But overall, this year’s Spring Festival schedule is currently “lack of blockbusters.” Except for the Chinese comic “Bear Bears”, the six scheduled movies are almost all small and beautiful in style, lacking commercial blockbusters with strong audio-visual feasts.
This makes it rare that this Spring Festival stall cannot carry the slogan "The Strongest Spring Festival Festival in History". For viewers who like audio-visual experience, it will also be a pity. After all, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival stall is very important for blockbusters to support it.
However, it is reported online that Jackie Chan's "Legend" and Cao Dun's "Dunhuang Heroes" are also expected to be released during the Spring Festival.
If these two works can be compared, they will become the only costume commercial blockbusters this year, with equally outstanding advantages. I hope that the final Spring Festival lineup will be refreshed and the strongest, so that the 2024 Spring Festival will create greater glory.
