Not long ago, " Life Events " starring Zhu Yilong was released for 10 days, and the box office reversed the decline and exceeded 700 million yuan. This result was mediocre in previous summer movies, but this year it is outstanding. .
Affected by the epidemic, the overall movie market this year is in a downturn . In 2019, when there was no epidemic, the annual box office was 64.2 billion. In 2020, when the epidemic broke out, it was 20.3 billion. In 2021, it was 47 billion. This year has passed half of the total. The box office is only 17 billion. From the data, we can see the downturn of the entire market and .
But don’t be too depressed. As the epidemic in various places is effectively controlled, the film market will gradually regain its vitality.
The "coldness" of the TV market in the early stage has also caused many super movies to "accumulate" in the waiting area. At the same time, a number of new films have been approved or completed, making the list of films waiting to be screened become more and more abundant. .
From now on, there is bound to be a wave of wonderful "movie rain" coming.
All of these movies are star-studded blockbusters , All of them have great box office appeal , today Brother Pi will take you to take stock of the 15 most attractive ones to see what each of these movies has to offer. , is there one you like?
5, "Stealth"
the four major movie kings + Peng Yuyan , Andy Lau 's new look is eye-catching, can it rival "The Disciple"?
Last month, Andy Lau's new film "Stealth" finally started shooting in Hong Kong.
The original name of this film was "Will Enter the Wine". Because the name was registered by someone else, it was changed to the current name. In addition to Andy Lau, the actors include Lam Jiadong, Eddie Peng, Cheng Zeshi , Simon Yam and others. In total, alone There are 4 best actors in the Academy Awards.
The film is a bit typical of Hong Kong movies: drugs + undercover + gunfight + car chase , all keywords that the audience is very familiar with.
However, in terms of plot and character design, "Stealth" made Brother Pi feel many new ideas.
One is the drug lord Qiu Zhenan of the drug network, and the other is the undercover Xiu Hao who has been lurking beside him for many years. However, the long-term secret mission has also brought Xiu Hao's family to the brink of fragmentation, and his undercover identity will also be threatened at any time. exposed.
Under multiple dilemmas, how Xiu Hao will choose, and whether will "blacken" like "The Bomb Disposer 2", these all leave us a huge space for imagination.
Another highlight of "Stealth" is the collision Andy Lau and Eddie Peng two new and old male gods.
5 years ago, Andy Lau partnered with Daniel Wu to shoot the drug crime film "The Disciple". This time it is a similar theme, except that Daniel Wu was replaced by Peng Yuyan. Perhaps the fate of a drug lord and an undercover agent will also be entangled between the two.
Currently, the media photographed Andy Lau, Lam Jiadong and Zheng Zeshi filming outside a noodle shop in Ngau Tau Kok, Hong Kong.
Andy is wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, with a handsome parted hair, a black turtleneck, a black long-sleeved shirt and a black suit jacket. He looks so handsome. He looks forward to the movie being released as soon as possible.
4, "A Journey Away"
Zhang Yi new film, kidnapped in Africa, Zhao Liying, Qixi join
Zhang Yi and Wang Junkai will work together in the movie "A Journey Away" after cooperating in "The Gate of Rebirth".
The story of the film tells the story of Lao Jin (played by Zhang Yi) who took Xiaowen (played by Wang Junkai) who graduated from the Translation College to Africa for internship. He was kidnapped by kidnappers on the return trip. It became the negotiation , and finally led everyone to complete the story of returning home thousands of miles away.
The characteristics of the film story are short time, small space, full atmosphere and full of tension.After filming, it will have the flavor of "Sniper Phone Booth",But the performance requirements of the actors are very high, and they must be in limited lines and space. Keeping the audience engaged is a huge challenge for newcomer Wang Junkai.
However, the producer of the film is Guo Fan, and the director is Rao Xiaozhi, who has filmed "The Unknown" and "The Crowd". He is best at shooting movies in such extreme scenes.
In addition to Zhang Yi and Wang Junkai, the actors are also joined by Zhao Liying and Qi Xi, which makes people full of expectations.
The film is currently launched, but there are very few materials online, not even a poster has been released, so we should wait patiently.
3, "Insider"
Aaron Kwok and Simon Yam play "two heroes", the former's role may have a big reversal
html In June, when Andy Lau's "Stealth" started filming, Aaron Kwok's new film "Insider" also started shooting.
The film was written and directed by Mak Siu-fai, starring Aaron Kwok, Simon Yam, Ng Chun-yu, Fang Zhongxin, David Jiang. It tells the story of a huge charity fund that disappeared, and the protagonists peeled off the layers in the undercurrent. Thrilling stories from the inside.
Judging from the stills, Aaron Kwok should play the lawyer Ma Yingfeng, who joins forces with the police officer played by Simon Yam to solve the case. However, after looking at a few stills, it seems that Aaron Kwok's character is unfathomable and there may be a big twist.
Since it is called "Insider" , the core attraction of this movie, apart from the cast, is whether the story is exciting enough. If you just catch a few behind-the-scenes masterminds in the financial world, it will naturally be difficult to impress the audience.
However, Brother Pi believes in Mak Siu-fai’s storytelling skills. Financial crimes may not involve so many bullets, but the game of light and darkness in the business world should also be exciting. If there are some fatalistic echoes, maybe the film will not be too big at the box office, but the overall quality should not be bad.
However, many people on the Internet are cautiously waiting to see this new film.
The main reason is that the assembly-line production of this type of Hong Kong film has made people tired. In the words of one netizen, seeing the theme and cast, the entire film has been played in his mind.
I hope "Insider" will be refreshing.
2, "学 dad"
Huang Bo starring in a small-budget movie, has Huang Bo's acting style changed?
At the end of April this year, Huang Bo's new film "School Dad" was launched in Chengdu, and a concept poster was released. The film is directed by young director Su Liang, and the starring list also includes Zhang Zixian, Yan Ni, and Zhang Junning.
As can be seen from the title of the film, this is a film that focuses on parent-child education and further education, and hits the current social pain points. The film mainly shows the comedy story of the father and son growing up together.
Huang Bo has been working hard to transform over the years. He has gradually transformed from the yellow hair in the past to a serious drama role. The role of his father in this film is the embodiment of this transformation.
Zhang Zixian has grown into an excellent supporting comedy actor in recent years with works such as "The Beneficiary" and "Rebel". In this film, he can also play his own role as the second lead.
I look forward to this refreshing comedy movie bringing us enough laughter.
1, "Rescue the Suspect"
Directed by Zhang Yimou's daughter, Zhang Xiaofei The first female lead film after "Hello, Li Huanying ", the touchstone of acting
5 years old is the turning point in the career decline of many actresses, but for Zhang Xiaofei It's just the opposite.
htmlBefore the age of 135, Nortel graduated, she could only play supporting actresses in Jia Ling's sketches. Yang Mi and Yuan Shanshan who were in the same dormitory with her at university had already become popular.
I never expected that at the age of 35, Zhang Xiaofei starred in "Hello, Li Huanying", which not only earned 5.4 billion in box office, but also won the Golden Rooster Award Best Actress, becoming a first-line actress in one fell swoop.
However, Zhang Xiaofei has been keeping a low profile since the news broke out. More than a year has passed. She cherishes her feathers very much and does not randomly accept movies. She has been waiting for a really good script and director. Fortunately, she finally waited.
Just recently, Zhang Mo's new film "Rescuing the Suspect" was launched, with Zhang Xiaofei and Li Hongqi starring, and actress Hui Yinghong being a special guest star.
Zhang Mo is the daughter of Zhang Yimou . She previously served as editor in Zhang Yimou's " Three Guns to Surprise " and served as the deputy director in " Hawthorn Tree Love ". It can be said that she is very popular with Zhang Yimou. True to form, she has filmed "8-year-old underage " and " sniper ", both of which have good reputations. This is the third film she has directed.
The story of the film tells the story of a gold medal female lawyer played by Zhang Xiaofei who had to defend a death row prisoner and reverse the case, but was involved in a criminal case full of doubts. It can be said that this is a standard crime suspect film. The role of this female lawyer It is very complicated and is a big challenge for Zhang Xiaofei.
To a certain extent, "Saving Suspect" is a touchstone. It can test whether Zhang Xiaofei, the Golden Rooster Best Actress, truly deserves his title.
Let’s wait for the day when the film is released.
0, " Crisis Route "
An aerial crime film starring Andy Lau, its release was postponed due to special events
After the China Eastern Airlines accident on March 21 this year, the whole country was grieving, and one movie was postponed because of this, and it was "Crisis Route" .
The film was announced to be shot on September 28 last year, and was completed in Qingdao on November 19. It was originally planned to be released this year.
This film is "China's first aerial crime movie" . It tells the story of the world's largest luxury passenger plane A380 being hijacked in the air, and the story of father and daughter played by Andy Lau and Zhang Zifeng fighting wits and courage with the gangsters.
In the film, Andy Lau plays an international security expert who is brave and resourceful, while Zhang Zifeng plays a blind little girl. The father and daughter team up to defeat the enemy is very interesting.
In addition to the two of them, Liu Tao, Guo Xiaodong, Jiang Mengjie, Jiang Chao and other powerful actors will also participate in the film. The entire film lineup is luxurious.
Unfortunately, the entire aviation industry is currently affected by the March 21 incident. Naturally, the release time of the film must be carefully considered. Let's wait and see where this new film will go.
9, "Parrot Killing"
novel "pig killing plate" story, Zhou Dongyu staged "game within a game"
"Pig killing plate" is a popular scam in recent years, the victims are often women, called "pig" , scammers use love as a bait to deceive their trust, and finally "kill" them after fattening them up. The amount of fraud involved in such cases ranges from hundreds of thousands to millions, which is extremely harmful to society.
Recently, a movie about the "Pig Killing Tray" finally came out. This is "Parrot Killing" starring Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu.
The film was launched in April this year. It has been completed and has entered the intense post-production.
Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu played husband and wife in "The Year of the Eternal Storm", and they had a perfect understanding for their first collaboration. This is their second collaboration, but the relationship between the two in the film is very mysterious.
"Parrot Killing" is not a simple retelling of the story of the "Pig Killing Plate", but tells the story of the protagonist played by Zhou Dongyu who launched a revenge after encountering the "Pig Killing Plate". She went to Fujian alone to look for someone, and through a A parrot gets acquainted with two people and learns that they are inextricably linked to the "pig killing plate" he experienced., and a game within a game begins.
The director and screenwriter admitted that they were inspired by the "Pig Killing Plate" news to shoot this movie. They hope that this movie can help the victimized women get out of their emotional difficulties.
8, "China Table Tennis"
Deng Chao, Yu Baimei join forces again, can they break the curse of word-of-mouth?
China's national sport is table tennis, but there are very few movies about table tennis. But don't worry, a table tennis movie will be released soon. This is "China Table Tennis" starring Deng Chao.
The Beijing Winter Olympics concluded on February 20 this year, and "China Table Tennis" was announced to be launched on February 21. You can feel the enthusiasm of the main creators for this.
The film is co-directed by Deng Chao and his old partner Yu Baimei. In addition to Deng Chao, the cast also includes Xu Weizhou. It is said that Sun Li will also have a guest role in the film.
The story of the film is also familiar to everyone. It tells that in the early 1990s, Chinese men's table tennis fell into a trough. Coach Cai Zhenhua was ordered to form a new team at the critical moment, and in one fell swoop he trained Ma Wenge, Wang Tao, Ding Song, Liu Guoliang, Kong Linghui five athletes fought back to the top in the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships.
Obviously, "China Table Tennis" is somewhat similar to Chen Kexin's " wins the championship ", but there are pros and cons in choosing such a theme.
The advantage is that whether it is women's volleyball or men's table tennis, everyone is familiar with it, and they will have a sense of immersion when watching the movie;
The disadvantage is that everyone is too familiar with them . Related news and documentaries can be found in a search, and the movie wants to make new ones. Stuff is a little difficult.
Whether "China Table Tennis" focuses on the realistic restoration of history like "Win the Championship", or whether it focuses on spiritual resonance, I believe we will find out soon.
7, "Enthusiasm"
After evolution, Dapeng invited Huang Bo to be the male number one.
Dapeng is a typical example of a comeback against the wind. In the early days, his positioning was very vague.
He is the apprentice of Zhao Benshan. He sings, hosts, and films. He knows everything and is good at everything. He is the "five-skill rat" in everyone's mind.
Later, he directed and starred in "Diaosi Men" which became popular, but his reputation still did not improve. Everyone thought that he was just the material to make online dramas, and his upper limit was no more than this.
Later, when he made "Pancake Man" and became a hit, everyone thought he was just reaping the dividends from online dramas and had nothing to praise.
Then he made "The Sewing Machine Band", which got good reputation but failed miserably at the box office. Everyone said, look, "retribution" is coming, and "Pancake Man" overextended its reputation.
He was scolded no matter what he did. Even when he was the host of " Actors please take your place ", he was criticized for his poor ability to control the scene.
But it is undeniable that Dapeng has quietly completed its evolution in recent years.
As a director, he has produced realist masterpieces such as "Auspicious Ruyi", which astonished everyone with his skills;
As an actor, he has starred in works such as "The Beneficiary", and his acting skills are highly recognized;
As a friend, he played the most important roles in Liu Yan It has become a good story to never give up and help support people in difficult times.
At present, Dapeng's reputation on the Internet has been reversed. Recently, his new film "Warm" has been launched, starring Huang Bo and Wang Yibo. One is a billionaire actor and the other is a top idol, but they can't cover up the big picture. Peng's own light.
The film tells the story of Huang Bo and Wang Yibo, an old man and a young man, chasing their dreams of hip-hop . It is also a passionate theme that Dapeng is good at. Looking forward to it!
6. "The Great War: Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea"
An epic masterpiece to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, it faced thorny difficulties in filming
The movie "Changjin Lake " was a great success. The combined box office of the two films was nearly 10 billion, becoming a new benchmark for main theme movies.
After "Changjin Lake", one of the directors, Chen Kaige, will shoot a new movie on the theme of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, called "The Great War: Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea."
As can be seen from the title, the scope of this film is larger than that of "Changjin Lake". The film starts with the central government's decision to enter Korea and ends with the signing of the armistice agreement. It panoramically shows the entire process of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. The filming period of the film lasts for about 9 months, and the production cost is likely to exceed that of "Changjin Lake".
The main actors currently exposed in the film include Duan Yihong, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Zifeng and Chen Feiyu. Zhang Yi will also join this group after filming "Ten Thousand Miles Home".
Of course, the film has just been approved and has not been started yet. The final release time cannot be determined yet, but it is certain that this is another masterpiece with the main theme.
However, what Pi Ge is worried about is that the carrying capacity of the movie is limited. It is not easy to explain clearly the causes and consequences of a war in one movie. It must have a pattern and details, and it must also have the love of children and the feelings of family and country. .
I wonder if Chen Kaige can inject flesh and blood into such a grand subject. We will wait and see.
5, "Customs Front"
After "reshaping" Andy Lau, how will Qiu Litao "toss" Jacky Cheung?
Qiu Litao's new film "Customs Front" has been completed and the trailer poster has been released.
This film stars Jacky Cheung, Nicholas Tse, Karen Lam and Ng Chun-yu. The story focuses on customs and tells the story of the customs police played by Nicholas Tse and Jacky Cheung solving major international cases.
The performance of director Qiu Litao is crucial to the quality of the film.
In "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", he "reshaped" Andy Lau. The prosthetic limbs and blackened settings are eye-catching. Pi Ge believes that in this work, he will not just go through the motions within the framework of the assembly line.
Jacky Cheung has acted in very few movies in recent years, and everyone’s impression of him still remains on the expression pack of Brother Wu Ying. Nicholas Tse has not made many movies in recent years, and Qiu Litao is a typical "film maniac", he can combine the two The gathering of actors from the Buddha family to make such a toss-up movie is still very exciting.
By the way, Nicholas Tse is not only the leading actor but also the action director of this film. In fact, he is known to be desperate for action scenes. I hope he can inherit the mantle of the older generation of Hong Kong action superstars and carry forward Hong Kong action movies. I also hope that Jacky Yau I can bring you new classics.
4, "Operation Red Sea 2: Operation Orca"
M's ulterior conspiracy, the film may be a very clever "metaphor"
After "Changjin Lake", Chen Kaige is preparing to make a new movie to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, but Lin Chaoxian is not here either At present, "Operation Red Sea 2: Operation Orca" has been officially approved. Lin Chaoxian is the director and screenwriter.
html During the Spring Festival 14 years ago, "Operation Red Sea" came from behind to win the box office championship with 3.65 billion. The success of this group film did not rely on the appeal of a certain actor or director. Director Lin Chaoxian boldly deleted many scenes from the film. The literary drama left behind all the essentials, and the thrilling rescue scene kept the audience hooked.
Later, when filming "Emergency", Lin Chaoxian added literary drama, but the result was very poor, and the box office was not so satisfactory. I believe that in this "Operation Red Sea 2", he will return to his original style, with as few literary dramas as possible. Bring the most direct visual impact to the audience.
This sequel brings together Peng Yuyan, Zhang Yi, Huang Jingyu in the cast. The film tells the story that just after the civil war in Ivia, country M took control of the terrorist organization for some ulterior conspiracy, causing Ivia to fall into trouble again. In panic.
The country M in this introduction is really spiritual. You can make up your own mind. Thinking of the current international situation, you can be sure that the film is not a simple fight and killing. It may be an excellent metaphor for the international situation. I hope the film Release it as soon as possible.
3, "The Octagonal Cage"
Wang Baoqiang directed and acted for the second time. What is different this time?
In 2017, Wang Baoqiang’s first self-directed and starred film "Havoc in Tianzhu" was released and sold 756 million yuan.
At that time, Wang Baoqiang had just experienced a divorce. There was a large part of sympathy votes in this box office. It is really difficult to describe the quality of the movie alone.
"Havoc in Tianzhu" is essentially a continuation of the "囧" series. You can call it "囧", but Wang Baoqiang, a first-time director, only scratched the surface and turned the comedy into a farce. The film's Douban score is only 3.7. He also mentioned the Best Bad Film and Director at the 9th Golden Broom. What was unexpected was that Wang Baoqiang accepted the award in person and apologized to the audience. This attitude was very praiseworthy.
In the next five years, Wang Baoqiang appeared in many films, but he never dared to become a director rashly again.
However, this year Wang Baoqiang once again sat on the director's chair. The film "The Octagon" he directed and starred in has been completed.
From the perspective of story type, Wang Baoqiang, who had suffered a setback, did not try the most difficult comedy again, but chose a realistic theme.
The film tells the story of the protagonist Xiang Tenghui who he plays, who devotes all his efforts to helping orphans change their destiny. In addition to Wang Baoqiang, Chen Yongsheng, Shi Pengyuan, Wang Xun, etc. will also star. The starlight is a bit dim. I hope this time the director will keep a low profile. The actor Wang Baoqiang can produce good works, and he should be able to handle this subject with ease as he comes from a lower-class background.
2, Zhang Yimou's "Man Jiang Hong"
Starring Yi Yang Qianxi, Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Shen Teng, Yue Yunpeng's role is the biggest mystery
2-year-old Zhang Yimou can't stay idle. Recently, his new film "Man Jiang Hong" was released in the ancient county of Taiyuan, Shanxi Powered on.
This film brings together actors such as Yi Yang Qianxi, Shen Teng, Yu Hewei, Lei Jiayin, Zhang Yi, Yue Yunpeng, etc. Zhang Yimou is the screenwriter and director, and a historical drama is about to come out.
However, the cast that has been exposed is a bit confusing.
Shen Teng and Yue Yunpeng are comedians. Yi Yang Qianxi is good at acting in dramas about bitterness and hatred. Yu Hewei, Lei Jiayin and Zhang Yi can act in everything. There is a huge difference in the characteristics of these actors, Lao Mouzi How to train them to form a unified style is a problem.
Looking at the plot makes people even more confused. When it comes to "Man Jiang Hong", everyone will immediately think of Yue Fei's words. The story of this film is also about the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, when benevolent people in the world wanted to eradicate the traitor Qin Hui. story.
Brother Pi predicts that Yi Yang Qianxi will play Yue Fei's son Yue Yun. His temperament is very suitable, and others can't guess.
Who plays Yue Fei? Yue Yunpeng? Who plays Qin Hui? Shen Teng? Who will Yu Hewei and Zhang Yi play?
Whether the overall style of this film is a joke like "Three Guns" or a tragic historical allegory like "Shadow", it is hard to tell.
However, judging from the historical background, Yue Fei should not be the protagonist of this film, because Yue Fei was already in prison when the story took place.
Screenwriter Chen Yu revealed that the film is a legend and contains elements such as science fiction, suspense, and reasoning. At first glance, the plot is not easy to guess.
Shen Teng and Yue Yunpeng are probably responsible for creating laughs and adjusting the serious atmosphere of the entire film. It is also possible that Zhang Yimou wants to completely help them "reborn" and truly let their acting skills speak for themselves.
In any case, we are still blind when watching "Man Jiang Hong". I hope that with the filming of the film, the outline of this film will become clearer and clearer. Zhang Yimou is still worth looking forward to.
1, "The Wandering Earth 2"
is very likely to break the box office record of "Changjin Lake", the second part has new highlights
Among all the films to be broadcast, "The Wandering Earth 2" is definitely the most worth looking forward to.
html Thirteen years ago, "The Wandering Earth" staged a comeback during the Spring Festival, winning the Spring Festival championship with a box office of 4.6 billion, and ushered in the first year of science fiction for domestic films.
However, no movie has been able to take over its baton in the past few years. Everyone's expectations for "The Wandering Earth 2" have also become stronger. After all, this sequel is too stable.
From the perspective of the text, the film is adapted from Liu Cixin's novel of the same name. As long as it is filmed according to the settings of the novel, the quality of the story is absolutely online;
From the perspective of the actors, the second film has both Wu Jing, a top box office brother, and Andy Lau. With such an ageless legend joining the cast, and an experienced actor like Li Xuejian sitting in, compared to the small-workshop-style creation of the first film, it is already a luxury top-notch one, and the chance of overturning is very small.
Judging from the schedule, "The Wandering Earth 2" has been scheduled for the Spring Festival next year. Its box office success is not a problem, and it may even hit the historical box office record set by "Changjin Lake".
In short, as a movie fan, "The Wandering Earth 2" is definitely the first one on the must-see movie list.
Well, the above are the 15 blockbusters to be broadcast. I believe that with the release of these films, the sluggish film market will rebound. Thousands of sails will pass by the sinking boat, and thousands of trees will spring in front of the diseased tree. Let us wish you the best. Chinese movies in trouble.
