As the Year of the Dragon approaches, 8 films have entered the Spring Festival schedule!
Industry insiders analyze that as the longest Spring Festival period in history, the film market in 2024 is likely to open higher and move higher.
This indicates that the box office will have greater room for imagination and competition will become more intense.
According to the current data on Maoyan’s want-to-watch list, some of the rankings of these eight films are reasonable, some are unexpected, and some can’t help but sigh.
"Broken War" - ranked eighth
This film is directed by the "genius" director Peng Fa, starring Wu Zhenyu, Tang Wenlong and Simon Yam.
tells the story of a wonderful game between a person who committed crimes in the name of "savior" and the Hong Kong police.
Judging from the trailer, "Breaking War" absorbs the essence of Hong Kong film themes. Not only is the action scene full of atmosphere, but the literary drama is also refreshing and full of content.
However, the film ranked last on Maoyan’s want-to-watch list.
The reason why the audience has low expectations for "Break War" is mainly because most of the Hong Kong movies released in the past few years have not met the audience's expectations, especially the police and gangster movies. The routines are almost the same. Over time, they can no longer stimulate the audience's interest.
Moreover, Po Zhan has been produced for 5 years. In the past five years, not only has the audience's level of appreciation improved, but their movie-watching preferences have also changed. Under such circumstances, it has become inevitable for "Break War" to "fall into the cold".
It's quite sad to think about it. With two movie kings in charge, "Breaking War" is at the bottom of the want-to-watch list. It can only be said that the glory of Hong Kong films is gone forever.
" Bajie: Canopy Lower Realm " - ranked seventh
Like "Breaking War", "Bajie: Canopy Lower Realm" was officially announced later. The difference is that although the film ranks second from the bottom on the want-to-watch list, the data is inconsistent and crushes "Breaking War".
Moreover, as the "only" cartoon in the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival, there is less competition pressure.
It is worth mentioning that unlike previous film and television works, this time in "Bajie: The Lower World of the Canopy", Zhu Bajie is no longer lazy, selfish and timid, but is righteous, brave and warm.
The film is directed by Ranhao He and features Ma Dehua, the actor who played Zhu Bajie in the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", as a guest voice.
As we all know, during the Spring Festival in recent years, children's animated films have been monopolized by "Bear Bears". This time "Bajie: Under the Canopy" enters the Spring Festival, which undoubtedly gives parents and children more choices.
Therefore, even if this movie ranks low on the want-to-watch list, there is no need to worry too much about the box office.
" Let's Shake the Sun Together " - ranked sixth
As the film with the highest tear-jerking index during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon, it is not surprising that "Let's Shake the Sun Together" ranks low.
According to the customs and habits of our country, the Spring Festival is a festive and peaceful day, so comedies are the first choice for watching movies during the Spring Festival.
Even so, there is no need to worry about the box office of "Let's Shake the Sun Together".
First of all, "Let's Shake the Sun Together" is directed by Han Yan and is the final chapter of the "Trilogy of Life". The first two films are "Get Out! Mr. Tumor" and "Send You a Little Red Flower". They are all masterpieces that have achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success.
With the blessing of the first two works, the box office of "Let's Shake the Sun Together" should not be bad.
Secondly, judging from the trailer, Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi are so awesome. There is really no baggage at all when playing the "ugly" role, and the key acting skills are pretty good. A few scenes have already made many people immersed in it.
Finally, there is no doubt about Han Yan's storytelling ability.
With so many factors brought together, after the release of "Let's Shake the Sun Together", there must be many people who can't help but seek abuse. Let's wait and see!
"Mr. Red Carpet" - ranked fifth
Ning Hao and Andy Lau, "Red" "Mr. Blanket" is ranked fifth on Maoyan's want-to-watch list, which is really unexpected.
After all, one of them is a talented and well-known director, and the other is a hugely popular superstar.
analyzed that the reason should be Andy Lau. Although he has great appeal, the quality of the movies he has participated in in recent years has been uneven, so that the audience has no expectations.
And this was probably the reason why he partnered with Ning Hao again.
This time, the two people used the film and television industry as the subject, using absurd and satirical techniques to show the weirdness of the entertainment industry and expose many industry chaos.
have to say that their ideas are novel and bold enough.
What makes people look forward to it is that Ning Hao not only directed it, but also participated in it himself. Judging from the trailer of "Mr. Red Carpet", he and Andy Lau basically acted in their true colors, and many scenes made people laugh.
The film has previously appeared at the Toronto International Film Festival and Pingyao International Film Festival, and received a good response. Andy Lau even won the Special Contribution Award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Ning Hao's ability is obvious to all, and he has a tacit understanding with Andy Lau. The box office of "Mr. Red Carpet" should not be bad.
"Article 20" - Ranked 4th
"Article 20" It's a bit disappointing to see it ranked 4th on the list.
This movie has a great director, a strong cast, and a novel theme.
is called the "National Master", which shows how high Zhang Yimou's status is in the minds of the audience. This time, he directed "Article 20" with full sincerity, which can be seen from the cast list.
Zhao Liying, Gao Ye, Ma Li, Fan Wei, Zhang Yi, Yu Hewei, Lei Jiayin, Chen Minghao... all of them are powerful factions.
In addition, rising stars Aruna and Jiang Qiming also participate.
Any one of these actors can support a film and television drama. The effect of getting together can be imagined.
Let's talk about the subject matter again. "Article 20" tells the story of prosecutor Han Ming who had completely contradictory views with his colleague Lu Zhengfang in a case. Is it to avoid conflicts and stop pursuing the truth, or is it to insist on pursuing fairness and justice? Han Ming Ming was in a dilemma.
After a fierce struggle, Han Ming finally made the right choice.
Of course, this is just the main plot, and there are several sub-plots mixed in with the plot.
The industry predicts that "Article 20" will become a dark horse in the box office during the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon. Judging from the current changes in the wanted-to-watch data on the Maoyan platform, the film is expected to surpass Jia Ling 's " Hot and Spicy ", but Whether it can surpass the first place is hard to say.
"Hot and Spicy" - ranked third
Jia Ling is really awesome. The movie "Hot and Spicy" has been very popular since it was officially announced. The film is currently ranked No. 3 on the Maoyan platform's want-to-watch list. three.
"Hot and Spicy" tells the story of an ordinary girl, Le Ying, who changes her life and finds herself through boxing.
In addition to the down-to-earth themes, Jia Ling is also very attentive to the lineup.
not only invited powerful actors such as Lei Jiayin, Qiao Shan, and Zhang Xiaofei, but also popular artists such as Yang Zi and Li Xueqin.
In addition, the first film she directed was a great success, which virtually raised the audience's expectations.
"Bear Bears: Reverse Time and Space" - ranked second
As mentioned before, children's animated films have been monopolized by "Bear Bears" in recent years. Since the official announcement of the film, Maoyan has always ranked it First. Although
has now fallen to second place, it will not affect the box office after its release.
Many people may ask, isn't there an additional film "Bajie: The Lower World of the Canopy" in the Year of the Dragon Spring Festival, won't it have an impact on "Bear Infested: Reverse Time and Space"?
can answer with certainty, no.
If you look at the data, you will know that "Bear Infested: Reverse Time and Space" is still the first choice for parents and children.
The reason is that this IP has matured and has a strong audience base.
Let’s put it this way, the emergence of “Bajie: Canopy Lower Boundary” will only complement “Bear Infestation: Reverse Time and Space” and will not have any negative impact.
" Flying Life 2" - Ranked No. 1
"Flying Life 2" ranked higher than "Bear Infested·Reverse Time and Space" on the want-to-watch list. It is not surprising.
You must know that the majority of moviegoers during the Spring Festival are mainly adults.
Again, "Flying Life 2" is still directed by Han Han himself this time, and the cast is based on the original cast and includes Fan Chengcheng, Sun Yizhou, Jia Bing, etc.
These actors need to be popular and have good acting skills, especially Jia Bing, who has great comedy ability. When he and Shen Teng meet, they will definitely create different sparks.
Judging from the trailer, this film is both a sequel to "Flying Life" and can also be enjoyed as a story on its own.
According to the Maoyan want-to-watch list data, "Flying Life 2" is now strongly leading the Spring Festival season. If there are no accidents, this situation will continue until the movie is released.
and above are the 8 movies released during the Spring Festival. I want to see their rankings on Maoyan. Of course, the current ranking can only be used as a reference and does not represent the actual box office of the film after its release.
As for this decisive battle, time will tell us which film will win in the end. (The pictures accompanying the article are all from the Internet. If there is any infringement, please contact us via private message to delete it)
