Among the new films released since June, the highest box office is " silently kills " which was released for nearly a week. The current cumulative box office has reached 470 million yuan. , the total box office is predicted to be about 1.3 billion, which is far less than the standard of "big hit".
Will there be movies this summer that triggered a movie-watching craze like " or " or ": She Disappeared " in the same period last year, which grossed over 3 billion at the box office?
Take a look at the films that have been scheduled for the next two months. The drama film " decrypted " directed by Chen Sicheng and starring Liu Haoran, John Cusack, Chen Daoming, Daniel Wu, has the greatest potential to hit 30 A film with a box office of over 100 million.
"Decryption" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Mao Dun Literary Award winner Mai Jia. It tells the story of Rong Jinzhen, who is talented in mathematics but lonely and fragile, and devotes all her life to the cause of code deciphering. It is scheduled to be released nationwide on August 3 .
It is reported that the background of the movie's story takes place in the 1940s. The world situation was turbulent, and it was crucial to decipher the enemy's communication codes promptly and accurately. Rong Jinzhen (played by Liu Haoran) has shown astonishing talent in mathematics since she was a child. She was noticed by more people for solving the difficult problems assigned by the mathematics teacher Heath (played by John Cusack). Entered the door to decipher the code.
Rong Jinzhen has an outstanding talent in mathematics. He talks to numbers and letters, and explores the answer to the mystery subconsciously. However, he falls into a dilemma where it is difficult to distinguish between dreams and reality. The direction of his destiny arouses curiosity.
The cast of the film is quite bright. Chen Sicheng's "favorite" Liu Haoran lost weight and changed his handsome image for the film. In the film, he was bald, skinny and wearing glasses, which many people did not recognize.
In addition, powerful actors such as Chen Daoming, Daniel Wu, Yu Feihong, Zhu Zhu also increased everyone's expectations for the film.
In terms of story, "Decryption" is the first novel of the original author Mai Jia. He believes that this book can see the appearance of all living beings in the world. Everyone is a unique password, and this life is the process of decryption. This theme is also profound. It deeply impressed screenwriter and director Chen Sicheng, prompting him to create a film based on a literary work for the first time.
It can also be seen from the released trailer that there are many metaphorical images and pictures in the film, such as spiral stairs, geometric figures, etc. This is because whether it is abstract and profound numbers and passwords, they also reflect Rong Jinzhen's subconscious. The strange dreams can be left blank in the text form of the original novel, but the movie needs to present these imaginative plots and elements to the audience intuitively through images, which is also a major test for the imagination of the main creator.
In the summer of 2022, the children's science fiction comedy "Mozart in Outer Space", which Chen Sicheng served as the screenwriter and director, "lost both" in terms of reputation and box office; in the summer of last year, the movie "The Disappearance", which Chen Sicheng served as the producer and screenwriter, was With its ability to capture social hot spots and its suspenseful reversal of the plot, it is a good start for the hot summer movie market;
this year's "Decryption" is a new genre that is biased towards plot and history. Can Chen Sicheng make a mark in the field of his works as a director? Let's wait and see how we can turn around and capture the original expression of human nature and the depth of human nature, and show the characters and beings under the torrent of history.
