Needless to say, the development of domestic films is getting better and better.
Whether it is a story or a visual effect, it is closely related to the pulse of the times and reflects the advanced level of the domestic film industry.
High-quality films such as "Eight Hundred", "Bomb Disposal Expert 2", and "Fury Case" are the products of the development of this film industry.
Stills from "Eight Hundred"
Filmmakers are also tireless and dedicated to creating better films to give back to the audience's support for domestic films.
So, what domestic blockbusters to be screened are worth looking forward to?
I. "Celestial Star Technique"
Directors: Simon West, Yipan Lee Screenwriter: The world is singing Starring: Zhang Hanyu, Jiang Wu, Lu Jingshan Genre: Fantasy, Adventure
The same is the top IP of the tomb robbery theme, obviously, "Ghost Blowing Lights" is far superior to "Notes on the Tomb Robbery" in the development of cinema movies, regardless of quantity and quality.
At the moment, there is almost no such thing as any influential Tomb Raider's unaired films, but Ghost Blowing Lights at least Dragon Quest 2, Captain Nine Shadow Generals, and this new iron triangle lineup of "Celestial Star technique".
The most attractive thing about the "Ghost Blowing Lights" series is naturally the strange, mysterious and dangerous adventure world, but the choice of actors is also very important. Jin Dong, Chen Kun, and Pan Yueming are currently the most recognized Hu Bayi by book fans, and now, Zhang Hanyu's version of Hu Bayi is afraid that it will unveil a new situation in the film adaptation of "Ghost Blowing Lights".
Similarly, Jiang Wu's version of Wang Fatzi and Lu Jingshan ("Wolf Warrior 2") version of Shirley Yang, not only fits the image and temperament of the original characters, but also the new iron triangle formed by their partner with Zhang Hanyu, and its magnetic field is also very suitable for being displayed in the adventure theme.
Although the story of "Celestial Star Technique" does not belong to the category of the eight originals of "Ghost Blowing Lights", the fact that Tianxia Baxiang himself is the screenwriter is still enough to ensure the standard of the film in terms of plot and spectacle.
The filming of "Celestial Star" was filmed at home and abroad (Russia), with a total of 33 large-scale real scenes, and the mechanisms and scenes in the story were restored through the scenes in the studio, and the investment in production was not small.
As far as the trailer released so far, "Tianxingshu" is very good at creating a sense of space in the underground world, and the dazzling mysterious wonders are indeed very much in line with the world view of "Ghost Blowing Lights", Zhang Hanyu's tough guy image, Lu Jingshan's cool and heroic posture, and the tense and exciting atmosphere of the movie complement each other.
The only thing that makes people sweat is that it is a Chinese-foreign co-production.
As we all know, because culture and geography are irreconcilable in some aspects, co-productions are generally of poor quality.
However, the film's American director, Simon West, who has directed high-quality films such as 1997 'Prison in the Air' (starring Nicolas Cage) and 2001's Tomb Raider (starring Angelina Jolie), has a considerable level of experience with the adventure genre, so the quality of "Celestial Arts" should be guaranteed.
II. "Four Seas"
Director: Han Han Screenwriter: Han Han Starring: Liu Haoran, Liu Haocun, Shen Teng Genre: Comedy, Action, Romance
Han Han is currently the most unique of the Chinese mainland directors.
He debuted as a literature, born with thorns, anti-bone scales, and then turned to the film field, making many films such as "Flying Life", "Later Period", "Riding the Wind and Waves", which not only made the box office gratifying, but also had a strong reputation.
Han Han's films focus on sports, youth, comedy themes, in the racing content, is still the strength of natural rebellion, but Han Han's films no longer have the "thorn" that he often carries in his words, reflecting the attitude of shaking hands with life and making peace.
It is conceivable that "Four Seas", which will be released in the Spring Festival in 2022, will still be a typical Han Han movie, full of various astute and life-rich comedy dialogues.
The film tells the story of Wu Renyao (Liu Haoran), a teenager who specializes in motorcycle stunts, and his father Wu Renteng (Shen Teng), whom he has not seen for many years, meet again, when the girl Huan Song (Liu Haocun) and her brother's motorcade accidentally break into their lives.
Is Wu Renyao a friend or an enemy, happy or troubled?
Will they eventually be famous or will they be home?
The road journeys of small islands on the Tropic of Cancer and the bustling metropolises of the South burn their youth and growth.
Director Han Han once said in an interview, "I just want to shoot a love and sorrow (through "Four Seas") ", which shows that this time, "Four Seas" will surpass Han Han's previous films in terms of emotional depth.
At present, the film has released two trailers of 15 seconds and 26 seconds, respectively.
In the 26-second trailer, Liu Haoran, Liu Haocun, Shen Teng, Yin Zheng, Chen Xiaochun, Huang Xiaoming and other actors appeared one by one, and at the same time, the film's rebellious temperament was set off with highly rhythmic music.
In the 15-second trailer, Shen Teng and Liu Haoran, the father and son in the play, through a watch given to their son by their fathers, not only convey the message of father-son discord, but also outline the core of the father-son love, I have to say, enough taste!
At present, the films officially announced by the 2022 Spring Festival are mainly comedies, and on the cast, production scale, and directorial style, "Four Seas" is one of the most likely to explode at the box office.
III. "Crisis Route"
Director: Peng Shun Screenwriters: Chen Xun, Bai Yu Starring: Andy Lau, Zhang Zifeng Genre: Action, Crime, Disaster
"Crisis Route" is an extremely scarce variety in domestic genre films.
Chinese mainland there are not many films with the theme of aviation crisis, and even if there are, they are not man-made disasters, such as "Captain China", which grossed about 2.9 billion yuan at the box office in 2019, which is a genre film caused by the mechanical failure of passenger aircraft.
Different from "Captain China", "Crisis Route" sets the root cause of the disaster as "bandit hijacking", making the film have a strong anti-terrorism meaning, so the game between people and people becomes the core content of the film, compared with the game of man and man and machine, nature, it is conceivable that its horror and tension will be doubled!
The film is directed by the famous director Peng Shun in Hong Kong, China.
Peng Shun and his younger brother Peng Fa are collectively known as the "Peng Brothers", and at the beginning of this century, the Peng Brothers directed high-quality genre films with diverse themes such as "See the Ghost", "Silent Fire", and "Escape from Heaven".
The filming of these films is highly paced and tense, and the shooting of "Escape" has accumulated important disaster film creation experience for the Peng brothers, which will ensure the quality of "Crisis Route".
The cast of the film is very interesting.
"Heavenly King" Andy Lau with "National Sister" Zhang Zifeng, presumably collided with amazing sparks, in addition, Liu Tao, Guo Xiaodong, Wang Takizheng, Jiang Mengjie, Jiang Chao, etc., are among the actors.
So, what kind of story does "Crisis Route" tell?
International security expert Gao Haojun (Played by Andy Lau) made its maiden flight aboard the A380, a super-large luxury airliner known as the "Big Mac in the Air", and was hijacked by thugs on the way.
Indiscriminate shooting turned the luxury cabin into a closed purgatory in an instant, and more than 800 passengers were in danger.
Gao Haojun stepped forward to deal with the mob, and he did not know that the little helper who hid in the hostages and joined him was his blind daughter Xiaojun (Zhang Zifeng).
Thousands of meters in the air, how will the father and daughter resolve a shocking crisis?
Such a theme and lineup give the audience reason to believe that "Crisis Route" will become one of the most eye-catching domestic films in 2022.
IV. "Rock Solid"
Director: Zhang Yimou Writer: Chen Yu Starring: Lei Jiayin, Zhang Guoguo, Yu Hewei, Zhou Dongyu Genre: Drama, Action, Crime
Zhang Yimou, 71, remains one of China's most creative directors.
Since 2019, Zhang Yimou has made four movies, "One Second", "Rock Solid", "Sniper", and "On the Cliff", which have different styles, of which "One Second" and "On the Cliff" have been successfully released.
The "Sniper" with the theme of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea is a co-production of Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo, deputy director of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and the action crime blockbuster "Rock Solid" will define a new Style of Zhang Yimou.
The film's story scale is amazing.
In order to investigate the case, the technical section police officer Su Jianming (Lei Jiayin) disregards the persuasion of his adoptive father Zheng Gang (Zhang Guoguo) and rushes to the Hongmen banquet of the rich businessman Lai Chi Tin (Yu Hewei) and watches a thrilling drama of a rich businessman fooling others and putting his hands into the hot pot.
Subsequently, the wall seams hid corpses, wrenches smashed people, nearly tens of billions of private grants, mysterious resources and other foreshadowings appeared one after another, behind the superficial simple criminal events, there was an undercurrent.
At present, the film has released a trailer of 1 minute and 43 seconds, the trailer style is cold, modern, full of dangerous atmosphere, Zhou Dongyu's female policewoman Li Huilin's sassy style, Li Zhitian's black and white dual identity, Zheng Gang and Li Zhitian's vague past entanglements, etc., are like the momentum of mountain rain, suddenly attacking!
Powerful dialogues such as "Soldiers, Peasants, Industrialists, and Merchants" and "There is money outside the money, there are officials on the official level" have become the most authentic footnotes in the film.
Zhang Yimou's previous films, in addition to the wonderful story, what attracts the audience's attention is its excellent picture quality, and his films are unique in composition, photography, tone and other aspects, while having a master's atmosphere.
This time, "Rock Solid" is extremely subversive, and Zhang Yimou's film may be "liberated" from the picture and truly speak out with a story.
Of course, the acting skills of excellent actors such as Lei Jiayin, Zhang Guoguo, Yu Hewei, Zhou Dongyu, Sun Yizhou, and what kind of materialism they will show under the tutelage of Zhang Yimou is also one of the most important points of "Rock Solid"!
V. "Tomorrow's War"
Director: Wu Xuanhui Screenwriters: Luo Zhiliang, Yang Qianling Starring: Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, Liu Jialing, Zhang Jiahui Genre: Action, Sci-Fi
If "The Wandering Earth" marks the take-off of Chinese mainland science fiction movies, then this "Tomorrow's War" is likely to be the benchmark of science fiction films in Hong Kong, China.
In 2055, the Earth was heavily polluted and the world continued to warm, and a meteorite hit the Earth, followed by a tentacle-like alien creature that could grow rapidly.
The "mission" of the alien creatures is to purify the earth, and in order to prevent this purification, an elite force begins to fight the alien creatures, and a shocking conspiracy emerges.
Like many highly anticipated domestic blockbusters, "Tomorrow's War" is also a movie that constantly jumps tickets, initially, its release was scheduled for the autumn of 2019, but now it seems that the film may not be available until 2022.
Film director Wu Xuanhui, who opened a company at the age of 30 to do visual effects for films and advertisements, and has won the Best Visual Effects Award of the Chinese Film Awards with chinese films such as "Ghost Domain" (2007), "Submission of Names" (2008), "Wind and Cloud 2" (2010), so the operation of "Tomorrow's War" is a science fiction blockbuster that relies heavily on special effects, which must be full of confidence.
The cast of "Tomorrow's War" is luxurious-
Gu Tianle, Liu Qingyun, Liu Jialing, Zhang Jiahui, Xie Junhao... They are all Hong Kong film emperors and post-film level figures.
Judging from the two trailers released so far, the special effects of "Tomorrow's War" are dense, and there are very delicate and grand displays for sci-fi scenes such as doomsday cyberpunk, mechanical armor, and urban collapse.
Lead actor Gu Tianle once said that "Tomorrow's War" lasted three years from preparation to start-up. It can be seen that this special effects-oriented sci-fi blockbuster has also made great efforts in the creation of the script.
From the above 5 domestic blockbusters, it can be seen that Chinese films are showing a healthy development trend in terms of genre, theme, actors, productions, etc., and I believe that under this situation, more excellent works will meet with the audience!
