September is about to pass, and the performance of the mainland film market this month can only be described in one word.
After the worst Mid-Autumn Festival in eight years, the theater market, which has no movies to watch, continues to fall continuously. Due to the complete absence of new theater films last week, according to Maoyan data, the box office in the mainland in the weekly market closed at .198 billion from 9.19 to 9.25, which continued to fall by from 299 million the previous week. The box office of is not over 100 million, setting its worst performance since the end of May.
"Hello, brother", " Alone Moon ", "New God List: Yang Jian", "Mom! Several old films such as 》 with a good reputation and influence continue to become the main support of the film market, and have announced that they will be postponed to the end of October to the beginning of November.
This weekend, theaters will usher in the traditional Golden National Day holiday, but the film market is completely gone from the hotness of previous years, and it is still deserted to the naked eye.
After a series of absurd, magical, incredible limit and extreme withdrawal, has 7 new films finally settled for release during the National Day holiday. There are not many types and styles, and they are more single and concentrated.
The three main themes ",000 miles home ", " Ordinary Hero ", " Steel Will ", "" is the first to be the pre-sale box office list. Donnie Yen, who was airborne and completed the flight and disappeared, starring Donnie Yen, an adventure rescue film of , "Search and Rescue" and and , three young domestic children's films, silently following .
Originally rumored to be released on National Day, the domestic fantasy animation " Deep Sea " , and Deng Chao Yu Baimei collaborated on the main theme sports film " Chinese Table Tennis ", Tony Leung starring Wang Yibo Zhou Xun and others " Unnamed ", continue to meet.
As of the evening of September 29, the total box office of the National Day pre-sales have just exceeded 60 million. From the attention level to the actual box office performance of , it is far lower than the same level in previous years. (Last year, the National Day holiday, led by the main theme movies " Changjin Lake " and " My father and me ", had a total pre-sale box office of more than 200 million yuan.)
. With the single category of new films, lack of eye-catching entertainment blockbusters, and the audience's aesthetic fatigue with the main theme, this year's National Day holiday is likely to be unable to continue the hot performance in previous years.
National Day theater chain is not attractive enough, so Xiaohu will introduce a few new resource films to make up for everyone's holiday film shortage.
Hollywood R-level action comedy starring Brad Pitt "Bullet Train" . It is funny and heavy-mouthed in the middle school, and is very suitable for holiday entertainment.
Douban score 8.0German niche political satirical comedy "Curve Ball", using comedy techniques to satirize German bureaucrats and the US government, revealing the absurd reality that "the truth is entirely created."
was shortlisted for this year's Venice Film Festival main competition unit "Athena" . The theme is sharp and bold, with long shots showing off skills and full of immersion.

Zhang YiWang JunkaiYin Tao interprets thrilling Era evacuation of overseas Chinese 2 Story
tortuous plot, real battlefield, patriotic mission and education
directed by Rao Xiaozhi , produced by Guo Fan , Wang Hongwei , and starring Zhang Yi, Wang Junkai and Yin Tao, the main theme evacuation film "The Way to Return" , adapted from real events. The film tells the story of a war breaking out in the Numian Republic. Former resident diplomat Zong Dawei (played by Zhang Yi) and the new member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Cheng Lang (played by Wang Junkai) were ordered to assist in the evacuation of overseas Chinese. The mission was successfully completed, but they learned that there were still a group of compatriots led by Bai Hun (played by Yin Tao), a senior executive of foreign companies, who were trapped in the war zone and their lives were unknown.
In desperation, the two diplomats gave up the opportunity to go home and entered the war zone in a retrograde direction. With bare hands, they traveled through the fire of war and desert, not afraid of the guns of the rebels, and were determined to lead their compatriots on a way home...
video is a bit similar to "Wolf Warrior 2+ Red Sea Operation ". Our evacuation operation has changed from direct and fierce force to success by relying on the wisdom and courage of diplomats. has more than two hours of film, with tortuous and thrilling plots, human entanglements and struggles, and war-related action scenes, and relatively rich elements.
Of course, the starting point and the landing point must be "to show our country's authority and show our diplomatic image of responsibility and responsibility." In terms of the cast of
, the male lead Zhang Yi, who took the lead, once again completed his personal strength and acting show. is largely based on his relaxed and relaxed performance and personal charm of the character image, which supports the texture and visibility of the whole film.
traffic idol Wang Junkai, who has a huge voice on social networks, once again starred in the big screen after "Broken Bridge", and once again made himself black and dirty and vicissitudes. His efforts and desire to transform can be seen by the naked eye, and the final effect can only be said to be average. There was no such thing as a show in front of his partner Zhang Yi, who was so arrogant. He probably had a success.
After "The King of the Sky" was withdrawn, the film also became the current pre-sale box office champion for the National Day holiday. In addition, a series of good reputations released by the premiere marketing is likely to be able to maintain the position of the champion in the schedule. I will wait and see how many results I can get in the end.

Adapted from the real incident of thousands of miles of rescue of the broken arm of Xinjiang
Is the main theme of the gathering of stars again?
is directed by " Fire Hero " director Chen Guohui , written by You Xiaoying (My Sister) and starring Li Bingbing , Feng Shaofeng , Huang Xiaoming , Lin Yongjian , Zhang Yishan and other stars are starring "Ordinary Hero" is the second "hero" theme movie after "Fire Hero".
video is adapted from the real incident of "rescuing and treating the broken-armed boy in Hotan, Xinjiang". In May 2021, a 7-year-old boy in Hotan, Xinjiang was accidentally beaten by a tractor. Due to limited local medical conditions, he had to rush from Hotan to Urumqi, more than 1,400 kilometers away, within eight hours.
In this life relay, doctors, crews, passengers, police and other people from all walks of life in Xinjiang stood up and raced against time, creating a miracle of life that challenges the limits of time.
The video is completely predictable from the story to the style of painting, just like its group poster, almost a reprint of " Chinese Doctor ".
As a "main theme disaster relief film", the plot is urgent, the ending is sensational, the theme is positive, and the stars are all watching the face. These four elements should not be able to escape.
If you want to talk about the new highlights, it may be the relatively more realistic interpretation of Xinjiang actors and the presentation of the local customs and customs in Xinjiang.
is not aesthetically tired of such topics, so you can continue to look.

Brad Pitt becomes unlucky Killer trapped in train
html l1 Japanese comic Second-Wind and American Plasma B-Class Fusion
is directed by David Reitch, director of " Deadpool 2", starring Brad Pitt, Sandra Brock , "Little Little Little" Ryan Reynolds , "Boss Qian" Channing Tatum and other stars, and are here to watch it.
The film is adapted from Isaka Kotaro 's suspense novel "Ladybug". It tells the story of five killers with different backgrounds and do not know each other. By chance, by the same chance, they also boarded the same Japanese Tohoku Shinkansen train from Tokyo to Morioka . The unlucky killer "Ladybug" (played by Brad Pitt), who is performing his first mission after resuming work, is caught up with business by his peers and has to face other top killers on the closed train.
During this process, they found that their respective tasks are actually related. So the question becomes: Who can get out alive? What's waiting for them at the terminal?
After the film was released in North America and many overseas in early August, its box office performance was quite good, with the global cumulative box office exceeding US$230 million. , but its reputation is somewhat differentiated. The media's rotten tomatoes are only 54%, and the audience's popcorn index is 78%, which is basically qualified. When we arrived in the mainland, the Douban score was 7.8, which is quite good.
Positive comments think that the video boldly combines the Japanese middle-second bizarre story with the heavy and spoof elements of American B-level films. The audio-visual is dazzling and relaxed, and it looks funny and refreshing. But some viewers are incompetent in accepting this style of mix and match, criticizing for the plot being too brainless and absurd, and the crowded stars cannot save the IQ of this film.
Don't mind the second, the spoof bloody action comedy style. Friends who are interested in a group of celebrity actors can enjoy the show.

Douban 8.0's German political satire comedy
Absurd events reveal the war lies of the United States
German movie "Curvey Ball" is a niche political satire comedy with Douban score of 8.0.
video is adapted from a real event that occurred before the Iraq War in 2003.
male protagonist Arnette Wolf is an biological weapon expert of German Federal Intelligence Agency . He insists that Iraqi is still secretly manufacturing anthrax as a weapon of war. Even though all this is controlled by United Nations , even if his colleagues have no interest in this topic, even if he has no evidence at all.
But the situation suddenly changed because an Iraqi refugee seeking asylum claimed that he had been involved in the manufacturing of Saddam Hussein 's biological weapons. His testimony is exactly what the authorities think, and the U.S. federal government and the CIA attempted to take the opportunity to take action.
The male protagonist Wolf was appointed as the person in charge of the case by FIA to investigate whether the whistleblower code-named "Curve Ball" said it was factual.But when he found out that this was a false testimony of refugees in order to protect themselves, the German government was unmoved and still used it as the "truth"....
At the same time, the 9/11 terrorist attack broke out, and the refugee lies became "real evidence", and the male protagonist could not prove it... The United States then launched the Iraq War, and the world situation was in danger...
The video was screened in many film festivals in China, and the audience had a good reputation. The light comedy rhythm, the exaggerated and typical political shady organization process not only amplifies the absurdity of reality, but also shows the serious reflections of German filmmakers on politics and war.
"You are too focused on the truth, what we want is justice", "Lie crosses most of the earth, the truth is still wearing shoes", and other sharp golden lines, which not only make the audience smile, but also have the power to penetrate reality.
Friends who are interested in European absurd ironic comedy can taste it.
