has received mediocre reputation. As of May 2, "On the Cliff" has the highest rating on the three major platforms. Followed by "Anti-Gangbang·Decisive Battle", which is also the only two works with ratings on all platforms that are on the qualified line.

"Your Wedding" occupies the absolute C position, with the most contributions to the audience in Guangzhou

directed by Han Tian and starring Xu Guanghan and Zhang Ruonan, the movie "Your Wedding" has the most momentum in this year's "May Day" period. The pre-sales performance has exceeded 100 million, and the "those who want to see" has exceeded one million mark. After the film was logged into major theaters across the country at 14:00 on April 30, the box office soared. It won 140 million yuan on the first day of its release, and also successfully exceeded 100 million yuan on the second day. It ranked first in all indicators such as single-day box office, total box office, screening, per game number, attendance rate, etc., leading the May Day hot period in all aspects.

Among them, Guangzhou audience contributed the most box office. On April 30 and May 1, the film won nearly 60% of the films in Guangzhou, with a box office of over 9 million yuan, ranking first in the country.

According to the theater manager, the audience of "Your Wedding" is more of a female audience, especially young college and middle school students. At the same time, there are also Xu Guanghan’s “girlfriend fans”. In the movie "Your Wedding", Xu Guanghan and Zhang Ruonan interpret the gains and losses of a couple in fifteen years of love entanglement. Previously, Xu Guanghan won the favor of a large number of viewers with his handsome and handsome "dog boyfriend". The audience followed the camera and watched the two people move towards growth and sweetness, pain and loss. "This love from school uniforms to wedding dress contains both the beautiful longing for love between young couples and the 'missing' and 'regrets' that make people cry, which is very easy to resonate with the audience."

However, the current reputation of the film tends to be polarized, with Douban scores only 5.4 points. Some viewers think that the film plot is too cliché and is another repetition of many other youth-themed films. Some viewers even bluntly said that the only highlight of the film is the actor's appearance, "It is a series of ugly actors that are difficult to save bad scripts."But there are also many viewers who are very fond of the story. A film critic commented on the film: "The first half of the student was cute, and the second half was facing the ups and downs of life, and seeing how the youthful passion has been polished by the real world, avoiding the problem that youth screenwriters are prone to slugging."

Zhang Yimou The sword is not old, "On the Cliff" is tight, and the actors' acting skills are all online

Zhang Yimou directed the theme of spy war for the first time, achieving outstanding results. Currently, Douban score is 7.7, the highest in the same period. The film is adapted from the original story of Quan Yongxian. In the 1930s, four Communist agents who had received special training in the Soviet Union formed a task team and returned to China to carry out a secret operation code-named "Utra". On the basis of the suspense, tension and stimulation of the theme of spy war, it focuses more on the portrayal of people and the expression of emotions, focusing on expressing the emotions of spy warriors, including children's love and family affection, which is tear-jerking.

As a spy film, the rhythm of the film is properly grasped and the whole process is high and the energy is tense. Zhang Yi , Yu Hewei , Qin Hailu , Zhu Yawen , Ni Dahong , Li Naiwen and many other veteran actors, all of whom have their acting skills online. Zhou Yi, played by Yu Hewei, is calm and restrained, and his eyes and micro-expressions are full of interpretation space; Wang Yu, played by Qin Hailu, is not only an agent but also a mother, and the infectiousness of the silent crying scene overflows the screen. Even the newly-controversial "Mou Girl" Liu Haocun , whose acting skills were controversial, has made great progress this time. The picture is still Zhang Yimou's strength. The northeastern forest and snowy land has a sharp temperament, Harbin is full of historical sense but also exquisite alleys and buildings, which is even more mysterious in the heavy snow that has never stopped.

"Secret Visitor" ran out of a dark horse. "Pig Man Movie·Dinosaur Diary" broke the box office record

Director Chen Zhengdao placed all the clues in a confined space, allowing the audience to transform into "visitors" to constantly feel the high-energy stimulation when they peeked into the secrets of this strange family. The film has a dark horse in market performance thanks to its suspense theme and a strong cast, but many viewers believe that the film is a bit deliberate in creating suspense. "Anti-gangster battle" is starring Jiang Wu , Zhang Songwen, Jin Shijia , and Li Qian . As a rare anti-gang theme on the big screen, the film focuses on the battle between good and evil on the front line of the anti-gang, surprises people in the ability to portray characters, and has a high degree of completion.

Several other movies, "Chasing the Tiger and Capturing the Dragon" scored 5.8 points, "Sunshine Robber" scored 4.2 points, and "True Three Kingdoms" scored yet, and their reputations were very average. As a rare cartoon in the period, the original animation IP "Pig Man" that came out of Guangzhou is firmly exported to the parent-child group.
