Not long ago, National Film Administration launched a new policy -
promoted the accelerated release of new blockbusters . After the policy was released, it caused quite a lot of heated discussions online.
This is a "timely rain".
Nowadays, the various "removal" and "revised" of movies seem to have become commonplace.
was overwhelmingly preheated before the release. When really hit the nail on the head, he sent a "revocation notice" , exhausting the audience's patience.
The reason is that has the impact of the market environment, but it is more about the entanglement of interests of multiple parties .
Today, Pigeon will talk to you about the movie 5 that has been filmed but has not been released for a long time.
Some of them have made the audience look forward to it for several years, some of them have been hidden due to scale issues , and some of them have become the money-rolling tool for the capital market .
Let’s analyze together These 15 movies cannot be released , , and the various reasons behind , and the possibility of future release.
(Note: the following sort, is based on the network popularity and . The audience expectation value , and is arranged from low to high )
Part 1: " New Order "
Not set up丨Expected value: ★★☆☆
film recipe "retreat when you see the difficulties"?
Since the withdrawal of the file on July 8, "New Order" has disappeared without any news.
video is said to be adapted from Douban 8.9's high-scoring movie "New World". The various "black eating black" and "infernal Affairs" dramas in the film can be said to be the specialty of Hong Kong police and gangster films.
It can also be seen from the trailer that 's film is quite "vigorous", with gangster melee, street assassination, power struggle , especially the mysterious killer played by Nick Cheung, whose ruthless eyes after strangling the other party are chilling.
On the cast, Zhang Jiahui and Ruan Jingtian Two actors are in charge, and Qin Pei, Wu Qihua, Wang Dalu and other actors joining, it looks very "provocative".
On June 30, was one week before the film was released, the film suddenly announced the withdrawal of .
In Pige's opinion, there are three main reasons why videos are withdrawn from the file .
First of all, from the notice of withdrawal, we can see that the reason for withdrawal was mainly due to the impact of the epidemic environment at that time. Not only "New Order", but also " Xue Dad " and "Shocking Rescue" of the same period were also withdrawn.
Secondly, because there are similar themes in the same period, "The Detective's War" , perhaps in order to better box office revenue, choose to find another schedule.
There is another thing. As a film involving gangsters, crimes and other elements , "New Order" is easy to be difficult to release due to "scale" issues.
But the good results of the same type of "The Detective War" in the summer vacation period are a positive signal, which may promote the early release of "New Order".
Part 2: "Flame on the Plain"
Not set up丨Expected value: ★★★☆☆
Reputation? scale? Actors have bad records? What restricts this crime film?
Because likes the original novel "Moses on the Plain" , Pige has always had great expectations for this video.
Youth past of boys and girls , Two murders that have been separated for many years , Youth + era + crime type configuration is full of highlights .
plus Zhou Dongyu and Liu Haoran , as well as Mei Ting , Yuan Hong and other powerful actors, which are difficult to imagine.
video was scheduled to be released on December 24 last year. This time is also quite consistent with the atmosphere of the video "ice and snow, cold and cold" .
Just when it was only 4 days before it was released, the video announced its withdrawal without warning.
In fact, before this, there were already some "signs" in the video withdrawal.
For example, the movie was renamed "Flame on the Plain" from the original "Moses on the Plain", which is actually to weaken the religious elements in the original work.
What's more, the crime plots involved in the film, and the various presentations of the phenomena in the 1980s and 1990s also added a lot of "hindrance" to the smooth release of the film.
In addition, starring in this film Wang Xuebing Although there are not many scenes , , the adverse effects caused by drug-related incidents will also become a hidden danger to the release of the film.
Pige guessed that the story background is "Flame on the Plain", which is in winter, will it choose to be released in the New Year holiday in December this year?
Part 3: "Three-Body Problem"
Not yet set | Expected value: ★★★☆☆
has become the "money-rolling game" in the capital circle
Not long ago, the drama version of "Three-Body Problem" was launched, and the presentation of the "Three-Body Problem" has been recognized by many book fans.
As early as 2014, movie version "Three-Body" had officially started filming. The film gathered Feng Shaofeng , Zhang Jingchu , Wu Gang and other stars, which are completely standard for commercial blockbusters.
The only thing that makes people wonder is The director of this film pseudo . Judging from the films he directed in the past, he did not have very outstanding business achievements.
The "big cake" of "Three-Body Problem" is largely due to Zhang Fanfan's wife Song Chunyu .
In 2010, as the screenwriter, , Song Chunyu bought the copyright of "Three-Body Problem" , and a few years later, was sold to Youzu Pictures .
From the million bought to 120 million sold , "Three-Body Problem" has completely become a tool for making money and making profits .
Later, Song Chunyu even pushed her husband Zhang Fanfan to Youzu Pictures as an "additional clause" of copyright.
But It turns out that Zhang Fanfan, who lacks experience, is difficult to control this drama . After the film was produced, it was screened internally. The feedback received was not good, and there was no way to show off from the story to the special effects.
Just like that, the film fell into a stagnation. Later, Youzu Pictures went to court again because of the advertisement of "The Three-Body Problem" , and made the release of the film worse.
8 years have passed now, and the emergence of the drama version of "The Three-Body Problem" seems to mean that the possibility of the film version of "The Three-Body Problem" is becoming smaller and smaller.
Part 4: " The Last Truth "
Not set up | Expected value: ★★★☆☆
starring has passed away, Huang Xiaoming's hard work , after the change of the file, it was withdrawn
Now Huang Xiaoming is the blessing of two "Golden Rooster Movie Kings", and is becoming more and more "heart-willed" in his acting career .
For example, in the movie "The Last Truth" produced by Huang Xiaoming, , , He plays a lawyer who was brutally "banned" for revealing the shady scenes of the law firm. The complexity of character creation is undoubtedly a test of acting skills.
In addition, heroine Yan Ni 's shape in the film is also very varied .
has both 's charming short skirt temptation , and 's vicissitudes of despair in prison uniform , which makes this character full of suspense.
and The ambiguous rivalry between Yan Ni and the old actor Tu who passed away last year , is really full of expectations.
The video was scheduled for the New Year holiday in December after the filming was completed in March 2021, but it was changed to this year's Qingming Festival not long before it was released.
However, due to the impact of the epidemic, the film and other films such as " Life Events " were withdrawn from the Qingming Festival.
Now "The Big Events in Life" has been released in the summer vacation and has won more than 1.7 billion box office. I wonder when "The Last Truth" will be released?
Part 5: " Never stop "
Not set up丨Expected value: ★★★☆☆
Another " I am not a medicine god "?
020 Venice Film Festival , shortlisted for the "Horizon Unit", "Never Stop", which caused a big sensation .
Many people who have watched it say that Whether it is the story of the film or the performance of the actors is particularly good, and has the style of "I am not a God of Medicine".
is similar to "The God of Medicine". "Never Stop" is also based on real events , telling the story of intern reporter Han Dong trying to change the fate of 100 million people through a news report, but various troubles also follow.
The production team of this film is very reliable. The producer is Jia Zhangke , Director Wang Jing (non-Hong Kong director Wang Jing) was the executive director of Jia Zhangke's movie. "Never Stop" was his first film directed independently.
But now two years have passed, People can only watch the trailer to "satisfie" and cannot see the true face of Lushan in the video.
Judging from the information given by the trailer, the reason why the video has been delayed in its release may be because of the subject matter.
"Never Stop" focuses on the most sensitive press, and is based on real events as the prototype, which inevitably touches many "minefields".
Anyway, I hope the video can meet the audience smoothly, let's wait quietly.
Part 6: " Hiding in the Blade "
Not set up | Expected value: ★★★☆☆
Director refused to sign, and social media directly started to criticize
015, A movie " Master " amazed countless viewers , makes people feel the purest flavor of martial arts movies for a long time .
Director Xu Haofeng always has a unique relationship with martial arts Zhong, the early " Arrowman Liu Baiyuan " " Traces of Japanese pirates " , including " Grandmaster " written by , are all representative works of China's new martial arts movies.
After "Master", Xu Haofeng directed the new work "Hidden on the Blade" , which was completed at the end of October 2016.
video not only shortlisted for many domestic and foreign film festivals , but also the lineup of actors such as has also attracted the audience's appetite.
But just when everyone was looking forward to when the film will be released, Xu Haofeng was involved in various disputes.
The reason is that the producer Poly Pictures considers deleting the film in order to make the box office after the release, which makes it difficult for Xu Haofeng, who has always put art first.
Later, he directly refused to sign the film and directly "fired" it on social media, saying that he did not protect the movie well.
Things had an unexpected turn in 2019. "Hidden on the Knife" was scheduled for the summer season, but it was withdrawn again a few days before its release, and there has been no news since then.
It has been 6 years since the film was completed. No one knows where "Hidden on the Back of the Knife" is.
In addition, Xu Haofeng has also completed filming of many works such as " Poetry Eyes and Destiny in the World" and "Treasure Land in front of the Door". I sincerely hope it will be released in the future.
Part 7: "Blade of Wandering"
Not set forth | Expected value: ★★★☆☆
The two major actors face off, Keigo Higashino novel adapted, "revenge" plot may become an obstacle
In recent years, Keigo Higashino's novel has become a hot commodity for domestic film and television adaptation.
From "The Dedication of Suspect X" to "The Grocery Store" and "Ten Days Game", many works have been put on the adaptation schedule in the later period.
includes the movie "Blade of Wandering", which is also adapted from Keigo Higashino's novel of the same name, telling the story of a father who was brutally humiliated and killed by his daughter and embarked on the road of revenge.
Actors, Wang Qianyuan plays the father, Wang Jingchun plays the old policeman , The strong confrontation between the two actors is undoubtedly another highlight of the film outside the story.
In August 2020, "Blade of Wandering" was announced to be completed. Last year, a preview of the patch was released, but there is no news of the release date until now.
At a time when the film market is full of uncertainties, "Blade of Wandering", which does not participate in "traffic stars", may be looking for a suitable schedule.
What's more, from the original novel, The girl was raped, her father's private revenge, confrontation with the police, etc. will also become an obstacle to the release of the film.
Part 8: "Assassination Storm"
Not set up | Expected value: ★★★☆☆
Hong Kong films have also become "careful"
"Assassination Storm" is adapted from the novel " Death notice " by mainland writer Zhou Haohui. The police in the open confrontation with the murderer hidden in the dark, which sounds very much like a Hong Kong police and gangster film.
Not to mention Louis Koo , Zhang Zhilin , Wu Zhenyu , Myolie Wu and other actors, which makes people feel very at ease about the quality of the film.
"Assassination Storm" was originally scheduled to be released on December 10 last year, but it was silently withdrawn before it was released, and there has been no news yet.
According to Pige's analysis, there are two main reasons why the video has not been released.
is another work by Louis Koo and Cheung during the Lunar New Year holiday last year, "Anti-Corruption Storm 5" . In order to stagger the time to get a better box office, I chose to withdraw the file.
is the original novel "dare to write" . The various dramas of police and gangster confrontation are thrilling, and many changes have been made in the online drama version back then.
plus the director is Aoi Yau, who has always been known for his "large scale". " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and "Drug War 2" have made people understand it. I believe that "Assassination Storm" is "big" than the first two in terms of scale.
Part 9: "Starry"
Not set forth | Expected value: ★★★☆☆
Two years and two years, the "toothpaste-squeezing" promotion is confusing
In 2015, "Looking for Dragon" won the New Year's Championship with a box office of 1.67 billion, becoming a new benchmark for Chinese fantasy movies.
Due to the outstanding performance of the box office, Wanda Pictures announced in 2018 that the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series "Starry Art" is about to start filming, and officially announced the "gold-touching trio" of Zhang Hanyu , Jiang Wu and Lu Jingshan, which made many people excited.
Now 4 years have passed, and "Starry" has not been released for a long time. Only "squeezing toothpaste" often sends out some materials.
019 film will be released in the summer of 2020 after it was completed.
But it was not until early 2021 that the film released a 15-second pilot trailer, and another 30-second trailer was released in June.
Since then, "Starry" has entered a "dormant" state . It is said that this summer is about to be released, but it has also been lost. Part of the reason why
is that the post-production of the film cannot be completed on schedule due to the impact of the epidemic.
plus the "tomb robber" element , as well as various plots such as tomb fighting monsters, have also become a question of whether the film can be released smoothly.
Part 10: " Involved in the Sea of Angry "
Not set forth | Expectation value: ★★★☆
After filming for two years, there was no news. Unfortunately, the cast
Huang Bo seems to be "back" in the past two years.
" Mozart in Outer Space" starring this summer this year suffered a box office Waterloo. In addition, the starring "Under the Ice", "Wrestleblower", and "Study Dad" did not have much sound.
Especially the crime film "Walking through the Sea of Anger" starring him, which has made Brother Pi very much look forward to it since the beginning of preparation.
Director Cao Baoping is a leading figure in domestic crime films. "Li Mi's Conjecture", "The Scared Sun" and "The Chaser" are all made by him, and almost every part is a fine product.
In addition to Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Yan Ni and Zu Feng in the film are all powerful . It’s just that watching these actors compete with each other’s acting skills is a kind of enjoyment.
The video was completed as early as in September 2020, and it was officially announced at the end of the year that it will be released in the 2021 summer season.
It has arrived in the summer of 2022 in a blink of an eye. Except for a trailer of more than ten seconds released at the end of 2020, the video is still missing.
The reason is probably related to the "crime" theme of the film.
I think Cao Baoping's "The Scarlet Sun" was also due to the large-scale plot involving police and homosexuals, which took a long time to be released.
I hope the film will be released in the theater as soon as possible. After all, I really want to see the rivalry between Huang Bo and Zhou Xun.
Part 11: "The Super Family"
Not yet set | Expected value: ★★★★☆
Happy Twist plays the "tactics"?
This summer’s "The Lone Moon" has rekindled the audience’s expectations for Happy Twist.
"Super Family" also wears the guise of a science fiction film , telling the various absurd encounters of a family after accidentally obtaining super powers. It is still the "family fun" route that Happy Twist is good at.
video was originally scheduled to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year. At the same time, there was another movie by Mahua, "This Killer Not So Calm". It can be seen that Mahua's team is still quite ambitious.
But on January 5, "The Super Family" announced that it had not completed the withdrawal of the file later, but just a few days ago on New Year's Eve, Shen Teng and others were still promoting the film at the New Year's Eve party.
In Pige's view, the withdrawal of the video may be due to these two reasons.
On the one hand, the airborne of the "head blockbuster" "Watermen Bridge" disrupted the original arrangement of the Spring Festival period. In order to consider the box office, "The Super Family" chose to withdraw and choose a more suitable schedule.
On the other hand, the withdrawal of the video also reflects Mahua's lack of confidence. After all, in recent years, it has been a "bottleneck period" for Happy Mahua.
From "Li Cha's Aunt" to "The Sun Never Set Hotel", especially when "Li Mao Changes Prince" was released at the beginning of the year, it was hit hard by the entire network, and it was completely different from the surprises that " Charlotte Troubles " brought to people.
Fortunately, "This Killer Not So Calm" and "The Lonely Moon" have made beautiful comebacks one after another, which may make the Mahua team regain their confidence and promote the early release of "The Super Family".
Part 12: " Fox Hunting Operation "
Not set up丨Expected value: ★★★★★★
suddenly withdrawn 3 days before the release of the film, the future is uncertain
In 2019, the first film "Fox Hunting Operation" that shows "Overseas Catching" officially announced that Tony Leung and Duan Yihong , which attracted the attention of the public.
Especially the villain played by Tony Leung gives people a sense of déjà vu, which makes people look forward to it.
video was completed in 2020 and was finally scheduled to be released on January 8, 2021, which is " Chinese People's Police Day ". Related materials are also being launched in an orderly manner.
But just three days before its release, "Fox Hunting Operation" suddenly issued a notice: has not been completed later, and the film will be temporarily withdrawn and will be released on a certain date in 2021.
More than a year has passed, but the video has sunk to the sea without any news.
According to relevant reports, the film cannot be released, perhaps because the producer Fang Erdong Culture is suspected of economic problems.
plus the investor Pinjin Holdings' capital chain is broken, so there is no time to consider whether "Fox Hunting Operation" will not be released.
sincerely hopes that the film can see the light of day again and do not bury the performances of the two actors on the same stage.
Part 13: "Solid as a Rock"
Not set up | Expected value: ★★★★★
Official theme, Zhang Yimou 's first anti-corruption blockbuster, the future will still be confusing
Not long ago, "Manjianghong" directed by Zhang Yimou was announced to be completed and is expected to be released within the year.
Although he is 72 years old, Lao Touzi has not slowed down. A movie can maintain a relatively high quality every year, making a group of young directors ashamed.
Not only that, Zhang Yimou is also constantly "seeking innovation" and can grasp all kinds of films.
For example, although this movie "Solid as a Rock", although it has not been released yet, many people have already included it in the most anticipated films.
This is the first time Zhang Yimou tried this kind of subject in his career. He integrated anti-corruption, police and gangsters, cities and other elements, and the image style is also very recognizable.
plus Lei Jiayin , Zhang Guoli , Zhou Dongyu, Yu Hewei and other actors gathered together, and it was completely a "king bomb" combination.
From the trailer, the film presents a scene of a "sin city", with bright lights and wine, and the flow of sin. The plot of putting your hand into a hot pot, a car hitting someone, and other plots that make people jaw-dropping.
After the trailer was released in 2020, "Solid as a Rock" entered the "Divine Hidden" state. Now the biggest possibility is that the scale is too large, making the film unpredictable.
Part 14: " Trilogy of the Gods "
Not set forth丨Expected value: ★★★★★
Chinese version of " Lord of the Rings ", which is almost forgotten by the audience. The film crew is in a financial crisis and can't take care of themselves?
From the Spring Festival to the summer vacation, blockbusters have gone and come again. Only "The Trilogy of the Gods" is unmoved and has always maintained a sense of mystery.
As a super blockbuster created by Wanda Film, "The Investiture of the Gods" is based on "The Investiture of the Gods" to create a world of gods and demons belonging to China. Many people also regard this film as Chinese version of "The Lord of the Rings" .
Director Urshan even did not direct a movie for seven years after filming "The Legend of the Dragon" in 2015, and focused all his energy on "The Trilogy of the Gods".
The entire series cost 3 billion yuan, and it is very professional from the early shooting to the post-production. Many media who visited the set are also very optimistic about the film, calling it "a new benchmark for Chinese film industrialization."
This highly anticipated big production has been rumored to be released since 2020. Until this year's summer vacation has passed, and there is no sign of the film being released. Only the official updates the social platform every time the "solar period".
In Pige's view, there are two main reasons for this series of repeated delays.
One of the reasons is that the Beijing Cultural Company behind the film has been losing money for years. Last year, it also transferred 25% of the share of "Fengshen" at a price of 600 million, resulting in the confusing prospects for the release of the film. The second reason is that in recent years this mythological and fantasy theme seems to have fallen into a sluggish state, and the market popularity continues to decline. "The Red Fox Scholar" and "Hi-Shunting the God of the Gods " have failed to achieve the expected results.
No matter what, I am still looking forward to how director Urshan restores the mythical world of "The Investiture of the Gods". I hope the film will be scheduled as soon as possible and live up to the audience's waiting.
Part 15: "Mermaid 2"
Not set up丨Expected value: ★★★★★
"Sensual consumption" is declining?
Since 2016, the Mermaid 2, which has been missing, has also joined Pigeon's "lifetime".
According to the current news, the sequel is still starring Lin Yun, but the male lead is replaced by Allen, which should be a brand new story.
But after several photos of the set were exposed, there was no more movement in "Mermaid 2".
Thinking back then, the appeal of Stephen Chow was unstoppable. Since " Journey to the West·Demon Subduing ", one movie will be released and one movie will be released.
However, since the reputation of "Journey to the West: The Demons" was criticized, the subsequent " New King of Comedy " has even suffered double reputation and box office. Stephen Chow's signature gradually lost its absolute appeal.
When the sentiment card is no longer an effective "traffic password", it may also make Stephen Chow decide to slow down and polish "Mermaid 2".
According to the semi-annual report recently released by the producer Huayi Brothers, "Mermaid 2" is in the post-production stage and is scheduled to be released in the fourth quarter of this year.
Can we wait for the official announcement this time?
In addition to the above 15 videos, there are also videos such as "Victim", "Ingres", " Wind Forest Volcano ", " When the Wind Rises Again" and other videos have not been released for various reasons, so I will not list them here.
I hope this call to "promote the release of new blockbusters" can allow these movies to enter the cinema as soon as possible, and don't let good movies be buried in vain!
