Although the overall performance of the mainland Chinese film market in 2021 is not as good as in 2019, many films have performed very well. For example, "Changjin Lake", starring Wu Jing and others, broke the box office record in Chinese film history with a high box office of over 5.7 billion yuan. "Hello, Li Huanying" directed and acted by Jia Ling makes Jia Ling the highest-grossing actress in the world.
In addition to the box office, some videos have also had very good reputations. "The Strange Journey of the Heart" produced by Pixar Animation Studios got a high score of 8.7, with more than 900,000 comments; the Japanese love movie "Love Like a Bouquet" got a high score of 8.6, with more than 510,000 comments; "The Father Trapped in Time" starring Oscar-winning actor Anthony Hopkins also got a high score of 8.6, with more than 230,000 comments. This year, there were as many as 9 movies with Douban scores above 8.0.
But by 2022, whether it is domestic films or foreign films, their reputation in mainland China is far inferior to 2021.
Let’s take a look at the five best-known films in mainland China in 2022 to see how many Douban scores and comments they are.
5th place: Hollywood movie "Suit", Douban score 7.9 points, and 62,000 comments.
"Suit" is a crime film that can be committed in the company. It starred by the veteran British actor Mark Rillons (representative works include "The Number One Player", "Dunkirk", etc.).
This movie is an old-fashioned drama. characters come to the stage one by one, appear and then leave the stage. They sway evenly in the calm dialogue, throwing more and more new information, and finally the plot pushes to a climax.
The box office of the original theaters was not very high after the release of the film, but with the profit of streaming copyright and the profit of remake rights (this movie is very suitable for remake), "Suit" will eventually make a big profit.
4th place: Top Gun 2, Douban scored 8.0, and the number of comments exceeded 100,000.
"Top Gun 2" is an action film starring Hollywood's first-line superstar Tom Cruise. After the film was released in North America and other markets, it showed a very stable box office harvesting power with its high reputation. As of the day it was launched on the streaming media, the total global box office of this film had exceeded US$1.4 billion, firmly occupying the position of global annual box office champion.
Third place: "The Transformation of Youth", Douban scored 8.2 points, and the number of comments was 257,000.
"The Metamorphosis of Youth" is an animated film produced by Pixar Pictures that tells Chinese stories. In the animation film industry, there have always been words such as "Pixar's production must be a fine product". Although this animation is not a fine product, it can be regarded as excellent.
Adolescence is a period of time that seems simple in daily life, but in fact it is very dangerous. The film has a very meticulous and vivid description of this "danger".
Although the reputation is good, the box office performance is relatively average. According to statistics, the global box office of "The Metamorphosis of Youth" is only more than 20 million US dollars.
second place: "Good luck, Rio Grande", Douban score 8.2 points, and the number of comments was 76,800.
"Leo Grande" is an erotic comedy starring Emma Thompson, who was once both beautiful and sexy in the UK. The film has the latest interpretation of human love and love, and it shows that a man who understands women is not necessarily her own lover.
This erotic film has not been released in major markets such as North America, so its box office is not very high, it is only more than 17 million US dollars.
No. 1: "Invisible in the Dust", Douban scored 8.5 points, and the number of comments exceeded 450,000.
This is the only domestic film to make the list, and it is also the only domestic film with a rating of 8.0 this year.
"Invisible in the Dust" is a rural drama film. Except for Hai Qing, the other characters in this film are played by non-professional actors. Perhaps it is this choice that makes the characters in the film closer to some real life.
Because the theme of "Invisible Dust" is very niche and has not done much publicity, its box office performance at the beginning was not very optimistic. However, with the explosion of reputation, the final box office of this film finally exceeded 100 million, and its total box office reached 109 million yuan on the day it was released.
Including foreign works, there are only four movies with Douban scores exceeding 8.0 this year, and this number is really low. If you want to improve your score and create a masterpiece that more audiences say, you must first improve the quality of the film and write the story and plot of the film.
