is so fast, it is another year's annual preview.
Let’s talk about a little embarrassment first:
Now look back at my annual expectation list listed in early 2019. Among the top ten Chinese movies, only one of them is " Chinese Captain " will be released this year, and the other 9 movies are all " has pigeon ".
So, "The Eight Hundred", " Lanxin Grand Theater ", "One Second", " Poetry Eyes and Tired of the World ", and "Ingres" seem to be postponed to continue to become the annual expectations of 2020.
2020, will they definitely be released? I have no idea.
So, this year I decided to seek stability. Read the specific list content.
Also, this annual expectation does not include the Hollywood awards season and the Spring Festival. The former has been released abroad, and the latter will be a separate "Spring Festival Preview" in the future.
Without further ado, let’s talk about 2020.
(the following rankings are indefinitely selected)
Top ten Chinese movies looking forward to
" Li Na "
This is the real challenge of Chen Kexin
"Chinese Women's Volleyball Team" will talk in detail later. Considering the overall tone of the Spring Festival period, I think this "Li Na" is the real challenge for Chen Kexin to achieve personal breakthroughs .
All expectations for this film are basically concentrated in two points:
First, as Chen Kexin's first biopic, which may become an important step in his film exploration;
Second, it is to write a biography for the living, the difficulty can be imagined, not to mention that the protagonist is a sports legend with honor but also "controversial".
However, compared to how to present the so-called " personal vs system ", what I pay more attention to is how Chen Kexin presents the process of " how Li Na became today's Li Na ".
"The First Part of the Gods"
Chinese film heavy industry upgraded?
Although movies under the banner of the Gods have been competing for "small", we all understand that this is certainly not the crux of the subject matter.
Under the premise that " Journey to the West " has been overdeveloped, "The Romance of the Gods" is another master of classical mythological texts, there are still a large number of plots and stories worthy of being brought to the big screen.
The quality itself is solid or not is the only key. The previously popular " Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World " is a best example. The biggest highlight of this trilogy of
is not the super-strong lineup of stars, but the temperament of " changing the trend of heavy industry in Chinese films ".
Its success may be related to the improvement and upgrading of the entire Chinese film industry system. Once the box office hits a big hit, it will inevitably become a heart-warming agent for the current cold winter of film and television.
" Assassination of Novelists "
Don't just stare at Yang Mi
Shuang Xuetao, may be the most popular novel writer in movies in the whole 2020.
Whether it is "Moses on the Plain" produced by Diao Yinan or "Assassination of the Novelist" directed by Luyang , they are all adapted from his original work.
Novelists with predictive ability hit the killer who is eager to find a girl, triggering a confrontation that subverts the fate of the real world.
After the film and television transformation, how to shoot the strange and strange feeling of reality and fantasy in the novel is the biggest highlight of this film.
has proved Lu Yang with the "Embroidered Spring Sword" series, and with a number of celebrity actors, "Assassination of Novelists" naturally has no shortage of attention - such as how Yang Mi, who plays the villain, will perform. What makes me even more curious is whether road solar energy will go further and truly become one of the major directors?
"No Romantic"
male number Jia Zhangke
Based on the limited information at present, Cheng Er has three highlights:
Jia Zhangke, Jia Zhangke, or Jia Zhangke.
Chief Jia has become more and more comfortable in the past two years. Not only has he become a NPC deputy and an Oscar judge, but he has also begun to become an actor in the movie.
And this time, what he wants to do is the male lead.
In the information released in the early stage, there is a still of Jia Zhangke being arrested by a police officer on the spot. While smiling, he also became very curious about the story of the movie.
When talking about where the title of "not romantic" came from, Cheng Er said it was a friend's reminder that the previous movie " History of the Death of Romantic " was explained in vernacular, isn't it just not romantic?
What is certain is that the commercial attributes of "No Romantic" will be much lower than the previous work. What fascinates me with the lack of process is the rare author temperament in China.
"The First Incense"
Will controversial casting slap in the face?
Ann Hui + Wang Anyi + Zhang Ailing = This is a movie worth recommending specifically to female audiences.
After all, according to Teacher Li Yinhe, "only same-sex can truly understand same-sex", which is especially applicable to the novels of the legendary woman Zhang Ailing.
However, public opinion has generally expressed objections to this casting:
The male and female protagonists Ma Sichun, Peng Yuyan and the original works Ge Weilong and Qiao Qiqiao have a certain degree of deviation.
I believe that before the movie is truly released, such controversy will always exist. Can it be slap in the face? It depends not only on Ann Hui’s skills, but also on how successful the two actors are.
" When the wind rises again "
Hong Kong movies resurrected again and again?
Based on the status of "Taking the Blood to Seek the Plum" in Hong Kong movies in the past decade, this new work directed by Weng Ziguang naturally attracted much attention.
movie title should be derived from the song "When the Wind Rises Again" by Leslie Cheung . At first glance, it does have something in common in the theme:
When the Wind Rises Again, it is different from the reality and life of the past.
, who is used to making art films, he kept clarifying in the interview that this new film about the ICAC crackdown on corruption in the 1970s is a biographical film with the standard .
This actually reminds me of "The Grandmaster", which is all about building characters to review the whole old era that has never been returned.
Coincidentally, Mr. Liang's previous work that can be called a masterpiece can be traced back to "The Grandmaster" 7 years ago.
" Mermaid 2"
Are you still looking forward to Stephen Chow ?
was completed in 2018, but because post-production could not keep up with the Spring Festival in 2019, Stephen Chow rushed to film " New King of Comedy ".
No surprise, I should see this "Mermaid 2" this year.
The previous "New King of Comedy" has a lower overall reputation, but Stephen Chow still has a lot of loyal support. I actually don’t have more expectations for this "Mermaid 2", but before Stephen Chow decided to retire, he would still read one of his works.
After all, no matter how casually a genius draws , he is still a genius.
Of course, if "Kung Fu 2" is arranged, I think I will look forward to it from the bottom of my heart.
《Journal 749》
Lu Chuan Reborn?
All the information currently revealed in the movie is full of a mysterious mystery .
After the failure of " Nine-Level Demon Tower ", Lu Chuan changed his thinking and started from the 749th Game, his long-cherished wish of his many years of creation, and carried out secondary creation.
’s expectation for the movie is actually to see how different it is from “Nine-Level Demon Tower”: the less similarity
, the better it may be. In short, don't use the funny ideas of aliens.
For me, whether Lu Chuan can train Wang Junkai to be stunning like Yi Yang Qianxi is second.
Can he put down the shadow of the previous work and truly find the balance between the business and the author in this teenage adventure story is the key to whether "749 Game" can succeed.
"Chapter 11"
is very Chinese, and very Chen Jianbin
Actors can change careers and become directors. No one has an accurate answer. But for Chen Jianbin, I have great hope.
In "A Spoon", Chen Jianbin showed a unique author temperament:
is absurd, but it also maintains a strong reality.
has arrived in this "Eleventh Chapter", and the lineup has been upgraded. Zhou Xun and Dapeng are all representatives of good actors today, not to mention potential surprises like Dou Jingtong.
On the surface, the story is a bit like Inaritu's "Birdman ", which tells the story of the drama actor " life is like a play ". I personally look forward to how much digestion, recreation, collage and reinterpretation of Chen Jianbin will add in
.
movies are planned to be released last year, and I hope you can see them smoothly this year.
" Antique Bureau Central Bureau "
High expectations and high risks
Prince The film and television process of Ma Boyong 's works is so fast that it is too fast to cover up the bell.
"The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" was very popular last year. The TV series version of "Antique Bureau" has been filmed in 2018, and the movie version has also been completed.
's expectations for it basically come from the highly self-consistent worldview and distinctive character creation of the original novel.
But at the same time, this is also a double-edged sword, because everyone is too familiar with the stories and characters.
So what choices and adaptations will be made in this movie version, and what are the differences in shaping between Li Xian and Qiao Zhenyu's two versions of medicine, otherwise, this is what the majority of book and drama fans really care about.
and, as well as director Guo Zijian, whether can perform amazingly, we also need to draw a question mark at present.
release is the victory
With a complicated mood, list the following 2020 Easter eggs:
"One Second", "Eight Hundred", "Lanxin Theater", "Ingres", "Poetry Eyes Tired of the World", "Wind Forest Volcano", "She Killed", and "Tomorrow's War".
In the past 2019, a popular new film always disappeared every now and then.
and some of them have been completed but have not seen any movement for a long time.
Some of the products in this article are due to their own production, such as the two highly anticipated Hong Kong films "Wind Forest Volcano" and "The War of Tomorrow".
More is the unexplained " technical reasons ".
As a movie fan, I naturally hope that all these new films will be released successfully in 2020. Come on
, hope together. After all, this is the only thing we can do.
Top Ten Overseas Movies
"07: No time to die"
North America: April 8
No matter which version of Bond is, it will be the day to retire and retire.
When Craig took over the baton of 007 in 2006, the outside world's comments were all "the most charming Bond in history", but when it came to this farewell work, we began to miss and nostalgia again.
Many people are already talking about it:
Daniel Craig is my favorite 007, no one.
However, people will always grow old and the times will always move forward.
007 won't die, even if he really becomes her like the rumor, I think we will sooner or later accept a black female Bond like the rough man Craig.
" Godzilla vs. King Kong"
North America: November 20
Since Legend Pictures brought both King Kong and Godzilla under their command, rumors of new films like "Alien vs. Iron-Blooded Warrior" have been rampant.
confirms that the "Godzilla vs. King Kong" released at the end of this year is full of gimmicks on the one hand, and you are not afraid of not being curious;
On the other hand, because the probability of many "big fights" bad movies is too high, it always makes people feel worried, afraid that the bigger the hopes, the bigger the gap, .
After "Godzilla 2" was lower than expected last year, this monster universe really needed a bombshell to sweep away the decline.
If there is no more information, the video needs to fill at least one big hole:
36 meters high King Kong, how can he compete with Godzilla, who is more than 70 meters high, play the same magnitude match on the poster?
"Fast and Furious 9"
North America: May 22
Next door to the game world, there is a saying similar to "New Year's goods", which refers to the launch of a commercial work every year to meet their needs for the same group of users.
"Fast Excitement" is such a series:
has full entertainment, hormones are overwhelming, and logging is exhausted to conquer the world.
However, after "Fast Furious 8" was somewhat disappointing, and last year's "Fast Furious Story" was disappointed x2, what else can the endless series of rely on to make aesthetically tired audiences excited again?
Chinese director Lin Yibin's return may be a guarantee.
I just hope that he can bring back the plot lines of the first two out-of-distance plot lines back on track. Apart from that, there are no more expectations.
" Wonder Woman 1984"
North America: June 5
for so many years after being hit by Marvel. With 2017 years of "Wonder Woman" and 2018 "Aquaman", DC slowly began to turn around in popularity.
As Marvel's Avengers 4 faces the challenge of getting back on the road, DC looks like it will live a few good days with two popular sequels.
This time, "Wonder Woman 1984" focuses on the retro style of the 1980s, which is actually not new at all. As long as you balance the rise of women and the creation of women, there is still a chance to surpass the previous work.
Of course, giving the male protagonist who died in the upper part a reasonable reason for resurrection is also a task that must be completed in this movie.
, but I am still worried, will the audience interest of female heroes in China become better?
"Mulan"
North America: March 27
Disney's ambition for the Chinese market this time is self-evident:
well-known Chinese stories + Liu Yifei Gong Li Jet Li Donnie Yen Chinese lineup.
Judging from the trailer, the movie will not make much changes to the previous animation version, and there is no need for Disney to take risks for subversion.
Liu Yifei's version of Mulan seems to be well recognized in China. Even in the relatively cold March and April, the size of 42 billion is still very sure.
is not all about poison milk. It is said that the audience feedback from the movie's internal preview was pretty good, so you might as well look forward to it.
" Venom 2"
North America: October 2
To be fair, the first "Venom" is of average quality, but I didn't expect that the villain's charm was too great, and it was a big hit around the world, and the sequel was naturally on the agenda soon.
There are rumors that in this sequel, Venom will face off against Spider-Man , , but it is not possible to confirm whether the message is true.
If the revelations of director Ruben Fres come true, "Venom 2" may be Marvel's most heavyweight work this year - although the main control is Sony.
director also mentioned in the interview that the sequel will modify the origin story of Venom to adapt to the intricate copyright status of Marvel and Sony.
So those who are familiar with the original comics can also boldly expand their brains and guess the plot.
"Ace Agent: Origin"
North America: September 18
ace Agent, it is one of the super IPs of the new generation, and it makes a fortune on the road to anti-type.
Although "Ace Agent 2" is hard to describe, the first film in 2014 is too amazing. British + retro + comics + action has a wonderful chemical reaction.
What you should have is more pleasant, you should be more comfortable; what you should have is more stylish, you should be more comfortable.
This prequel focuses on the origin of the organization, and the timeline is brought back to the First World War. How to shoot the First World War into a comic sense , wait and see.
" Black Widow "
North America: May 1
That year, facing DC's aggressiveness, Marvel did not arrange for "Black Widow" to be launched in a hurry, but chose everything according to the universe plan.
Until the Widow's death in "Avengers 4", the time, place and people were harmonious, and finally released this year without any haste.
The timeline of this film has been determined to be Budapest after Captain America 3, but it is still unknown how much memory scenes will account for.
. Referring to the reference of "Avengers 1" and "Avengers 4" many times, the shared experiences of Black Widow and Hawkeye in Budapest, it is not difficult to guess that this is a super-English movie with memories as its main selling point.
In addition, this year can be said to be the zodiac year of the female superhero of . In addition to this film and "Wonder Woman 1984", there are also Marvel's "Eternal Family" and DC's " Raptors ".
They basically implement the production method of female hero + female director . Whether this is in line with political correctness or not, it is also said, at least, it is also a tacit collective attempt.
"Creedy"
North America: July 17
Keywords: Nolan , suspense, thriller.
The previous movie with all three elements is " Inception " ten years ago.
The total cost of this "Creedy" is as high as US$227 million, making it the second highest movie in director Nolan's works, second only to " Dark Knight Rises ".
judging from the ten-minute pilot trailer leaked from the external network, what Nolan told this time is another story of time and space reversing .
is not a fan of Nolan, but his expectations for this film are real.
, a director who likes to play with concepts and forms always likes to hide a lot of information in his works, and this kind of movie viewing process that constantly speculates and ponders is a rare pleasure in itself.
"France Special"
time to be determined
Wes Anderson This new film is my personal annual expectation in 2020.
First of all, this lineup is too outrageous . When I read the 10th actor, they are all big names. I won't list them one by one. If you are interested, you can check it out by yourself.
Director's previous film "Island of Dogs" was released in China. For those who are not familiar with him, the film "The Grand Hotel in Budapest" may be enough to summarize.
Symmetrical maniac and color maniac are good at telling a warm story with powerful visual impact. The labels of Wess in are believed to be continued in this "France Century".
There is too little information disclosed to the outside world at present. The story summary of "a love letter to reporters at the outpost of American newspapers in Paris" is already a few real information.
Looking forward to seeing Wes Anderson again on the domestic big screen.
To be honest, there are 20 good movies in a year that can be done in just 20 movies.
Zhang Yimou's " above the cliff ", Chen Kaige's "Blooming in the Dust", Tian Xiaopeng's " Deep Sea ", Andy Lau's " Bomb Disposal Expert 2", Wei Jiahui's "Detective War", Dapeng's "Big Winner", Chen Zhengdao's " Secret Visitor ", Wanma Caidan's "Balloon", Gu Xiaojun's " Spring River Water Warm ", Tomco's "Top Gun 2", Spielberg's "West Side Story"...
However, it is also the reality of domestic movies that make this stand in the years and watch the whole year, and there is a possibility of wishes being disappointed at any time.
But I still hope that you can accept this 2020 list.
This is not the worst era, good movies may be late, but they will not be absent.
Next week, let’s talk about the coming Spring Festival period soon. See you all.
