knows it, the calendar has turned to December. With the release of several new films this week, such as "Two Tigers" and "Knife Out of the Sheath", the 2019 movie Lunar New Year files officially kicked off! In fact, in the past two years, due to the shifting of headlines to the Spring Festival file, the originally highly competitive Lunar New Year file (usually from early December to New Year's Day) is cooling down year by year. But this year, the market seems to be picking up again. Mr. Yihuan estimated that there are already nearly 50 new films set for December. Among them, there are new works by famous directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Lou Ye, Xue Xiaolu, Diao Yinan, and Ye Weixin, as well as Hollywood visual effects blockbusters that rarely participate in the Lunar New Year competition, as well as art, suspense, war, cute pets, comedy and other rich genres. . The star lineup is beyond count, Brad Pitt, Hu Ge, Lei Jiayin, Tang Wei, Gong Li, Zhao Youting, Huang Bo, Yen Zidan, Zhong Hanliang, Huang Xuan, Chen Weiting, Bai Baihe, Wu Lei, Zhang Zifeng...you will be Who contributes to the box office? If you haven't figured it out yet, you might as well take a look at the recommendation of Mr. Yichang. It is naturally the most anticipated that domestically produced films send a "fairy lineup" director to increase their stars. This year not only Feng Xiaogang and Huang Xuan returned to the Lunar New Year file, but also director Lou Ye and Gong Li joined hands for the first time, and Hu Ge's first big-screen male lead was dedicated to the literary and artistic director Diao Yinan. In addition, Yen Zidan bid farewell to "Ye Wen" and Lei Jiayin's partner Tang Wei... This December can really be called the "fairy lineup". 01 "The Gathering at Southern Station"
Director: Diao Yinan Starring: Hu Ge/Guilunmei/Liao Fan/Wan Qian Genre: Plot/Crime Release Date: 2019-12-06 The story of the film is inspired by real news events and tells a car theft gang The story of the leader Zhou Zenong, who embarked on the road of escape with a huge reward, seeking self-salvation. In this vortex of human nature, the ambiguous and estranged swimmer, the hard-working and sophisticated policeman, and the wife of Zhou Zenong, whom Zhou Zenong has not seen for a long time, are involved one after another, destined to have twists and turns. In 2013, the film "Fireworks in the Day" written and directed by Diao Yinan won the Golden Bear for Best Picture at the Berlin Film Festival. If you like "Fireworks in the Day", then you must not miss this "Gathering at Southern Station". This is also Hu Ge's first challenge to a marginal character, which is quite a test of acting skills. Expectation value: ★★★★★02 "Whistleblower"
Director: Xue Xiaolu Starring: Lei Jiayin/Tang Wei Genre: Plot/Suspense/criminal whistleblower, referring to the company or organization that has major problems and serious threats to the public interest. People who are brave enough to expose themselves in great danger. As the first Chinese film focusing on the theme of "Whistleblower", "Whistleblower" was shot across three continents, Australia, Africa and Asia, and was combined with Hollywood's top production team, desperate pursuit, tense and suspenseful commercial blockbuster temperament and director Xue Xiaolu's past The work is very different. The combination of Lei Jiayin and Tang Wei is both fresh and a bit contrasting. I don't know what kind of spark they will create? Expected value: ★★★★03 "Lanxin Theater"
Director: Lou Ye Starring: Gong Li/Zhao Youting Genre: Drama/Action Release Date: 2019-12-07 The film is adapted from Hong Ying’s novel "Death of Shanghai", Set in Shanghai in 1941, it tells the story of the famous actor Yu Jin, who is also collecting secret intelligence for the Allied countries while starring in a new stage play, and accidentally discovers Japan's plan to attack Pearl Harbor. This time, Lou Ye's use of rough but full-textured black and white images to express the film is his new attempt in genre works of spy war. At the same time, the role setting of "Is an actor and a spy" made Gong Li's performance challenging. However, the film has previously reported that it will be withdrawn, and I hope it will be released as scheduled. 04 "Only Yun Knows"
