The total box office of the Chinese film market in 2021 has exceeded 45 billion yuan, and the number of moviegoers has reached 1.115 billion.
In the hundreds of movies a year, many excellent Chinese films have emerged, and those memorable film portraits have long been firmly engraved in the audience's mind.
At the end of 2021, taking advantage of the golden age of the Christmas file and the New Year slot, there are 11 new Chinese films that will soon meet the audience.
From 2021 to 2022, which movie this year is worth accompanying us on New Year's Eve?
"Fire on the Plains" December 24
Director: Zhang Ji
Starring: Zhou Dongyu / Liu Haoran / Mei Ting / Wang Xuebing / Yuan Hong / Lü Yulai / Chen Minghao
The film is adapted from Shuang Xuetao's novel "Moses on the Plain", focusing on the crime theme of changing times and personal destiny towards realism, telling the story of the criminal police Zhuang Shu who accidentally found that Li Fei, a former friend of Qingmei Bamboo Horse, was also involved when he tracked down a taxi murder case.
The film is supervised by Diao Yinan, a famous director who has directed "Daytime Fireworks" and "The Party at South Station", which also indicates that the filming footage of the film will have a strong "northeast flavor", which is very consistent with the cold style of the old industrial area in the northeast of the original work.
It is worth mentioning that Shuang Xuetao gave a high evaluation to Zhuang Shu, played by Liu Haoran: "He injected a contemplative thing into the character, observed and thought about things, and interpreted "Zhuang Shu" with a more layered sense, making Zhuang Shu more layered in my heart." ”
I have to say that Liu Haoran and Zhou Dongyu, as young actors who are particularly prominent in the current Chinese films, have their own strengths and weaknesses, and now they are joining forces, and people can't help but look forward to what kind of spark these two excellent young actors will encounter.
The Myth of Love, December 24
Director: Shao Yihui
Starring: Xu Zheng / Ma Yili / Wu Yue / Ni Hongjie / Zhou Yemang / Huang Minghao / Wang Yinglu
Although Xu Zheng continues to shine in the field of directing, he still has not given up the role of an actor.
This is still a love movie with Xu Zheng-style comedy colors, telling the story of three completely different women who intersect because of Lao Bai (Xu Zheng), plus Lao Bai's friend Lao Wu talking and funny, in the modern capital of Shanghai, with wisdom and humor, depicting a variety of city fireworks.
Film director Shao Yihui graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and had no film and television works before, only participated in the screenwriting and directing "Since Youth Can't Stay". And most people probably know this director from "What are the people who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy doing" and "The Beijing Film Academy should be proud of me".
The article is bland and sharply expresses the idea of not wanting to go with capital, and also reflects the problem of "film and television winter".
Now as a director and screenwriter, it has once again entered people's field of vision, and there are xu Zheng, Ma Yili and other big coffee to help, can not be a blockbuster may disappear for a long time.
"Guess I'm a Hero" December 24
Director: Zhang Kai
Starring: Yu Yang / Xiu Rui / Jia Bing / Wei Xiang / Huang Yuntong
It turns out that in most cases, stage comedians shoot screen dramas with greater probability of pouncing.
But there are still stage comedians full of screen enthusiasm who are constantly innovating and experimenting, and "Guess I'm a Hero" is such a movie.
Heroes of war on December 24
Director: Deng Andong
Starring: Ren Zhong / Jiang Mengjie / Huang Xiaolei / Li Chengru / Yang Xinming
China's epidemic prevention has saved the Chinese film market, and the Chinese film market in 2021 has not collapsed, but is thriving.
If many of the previous themes that closely follow current events are the same, this movie is also close to the present, celebrating the heroes in this "war epidemic" that has not yet ended.
The film will focus on the group portraits of civilian doctors, tell the story of the big pattern from the perspective of ordinary people, based on real events, through artistic processing, while restoring the real archetypal characters of all walks of life, but also showing the ordinary and kind actions of small people in the big environment, highlighting the spirit of anti-epidemic China.
The Return of the King, December 24
After five years of hand-drawn, this is the selling point of this film.
This is a domestic hand-drawn anime work, and at first glance, it seems to have some resemblance to "The Lion King".
The plot tells that Adi, antelope, was trapped by the leader of the northern oasis, Saddah, on the way to the northern oasis for help after being invaded by the wolf tribe, and with the help of friends, Adi decided to return to his homeland and revive the glory of the antelope family.
This plot also seems to be somewhat similar to "The Lion King"...
Beast Whisperer of the Jungle Book, December 24
In fact, the film is not an imported film in the pure sense, this is an animated film co-produced by China and Pakistan, which was first released in Pakistan in 2018, and the story of the film is also adapted from the ancient myth of Pakistan.
Storm 5: The Final Chapter, December 31
Director: Lin Delu
Starring: Gu Tianle / Zhang Zhilin / Zheng Jiaying / Xuan Xuan / Huang Zongze
The final chapter of the series, whether good or bad, inevitably makes people feel a little emotional.
In addition to the feelings about the end of a series, there are also feelings about "Hong Kong movies".
Today's Unified Development of the Chinese Film Market, "Hong Kong Films" have long existed in name only, and after Hong Kong local directors and actors have gone north, "co-production" seems to be the only remaining shadow of Hong Kong films.
As a result, we can see countless mature faces in "Anti-Corruption Storm 5: The Final Chapter", their average age is over 50 years old, and they are the only ones left in the former Hong Kong movies.
Even if it is lamented, it can be accepted, after all, Chinese culture has been a trend of great integration since ancient times, and the former Hong Kong films have been integrated into mainland films, jointly creating the thriving Chinese films that are now thriving.
"Embracing You Through Winter" December 31
Director: Xue Xiaolu
Starring: Huang Bo / Jia Ling / Zhu Yilong / Xu Fan / Gao Yalin
Maybe we don't know if this will be a high-profile movie, but we at least know that it will be a blockbuster movie.
One is Huang Bo, the film emperor who was the first to break the personal box office of 5 billion, and the other is Jia Ling, who just became the first female director at the box office with a box office of 5.4 billion this year.
Huang Bo + Jia Lingqiang joined forces, as well as various famous actors to help, the famous director Xue Xiaolu personally directed the tube, this movie is still afraid of throwing?
This film focuses on the special moment when Wuhan announces the lockdown, and with warmth and healing as the keynote, portrays the love group portraits of ordinary citizens watching out for each other and sincerely moving. This is the most "real" anti-epidemic story and the most "sincere" expression of emotion.
"Love in Year" December 31
Director: Lai Chi
Starring: Mao Xiaotong / Yang Jie / Sun Qian / Zhang Haiyu / Fu Seoul
Looking at the global cinema, there are countless classics that have been delayed by the title.
Is it?
The title has been modified several times to become what it is today, which is really surprising, but the really good film will never be knocked down by the title.
For couples, this may be a must-have movie for New Year's Eve.
The film tells the story of Lu Lushan (Mao Xiaotong), a hotel manager who works alone in a foreign country, and Jiang Yu (Yang Jiu), who is a start-up, and falls in love because of a promotion event.
Romance films are actually very difficult to shoot, too much force has become a painless moan, the strength is not enough and can not penetrate the hearts of the people, only the right emotional expression of benefits can make people impressed and not disgusted.
"Hachiko the Faithful Dog" December 31
Director: Xu Ang
Starring: Feng Xiaogang / Chen Chong
The remake is not wrong, the remake is rotten, that is "ruining the classic".
In the case of Zhu Yu, the remake is extremely risky for a crew, but someone still has a hand in this story.
Feng Xiaogang + Chen Chong actors still seem to be very reliable, and director Xu Ang has also made a name for himself with the remake of the movie "Twelve Citizens", so "Loyal Dog Hachiko" does not lack eye-catching characteristics.
Different from the Japanese and American versions, the "dog actors" of the Chinese version of "Loyal Dog Hachiko" enabled the Chinese pastoral dog, which was essentially "localized".
However, the film was scheduled very early, and whether it can be released as scheduled is still unknown.
"Li Mao for Prince" December 31
Director: Gao Ke
Starring: Ma Li / Chang Yuan / Allen / Wei Xiang / Wang Chengsi
Happy twist actors gathered, the title is the familiar "harmonic terrier".
The most significant feature of the comedy of Happy Twist is the "strangeness" of the story, from crossing to exchanging souls, this time it is the exchange of identities after "bumping faces", the contradiction is prominent, and the comedic effect is easier to present.
As a comedy, and especially as a comedy of happy twist, this is enough to make it one of the most watched films on New Year's Eve. However, at present, many viewers have a lot of opinions about the Happy Twist team's continuous use of the "harmonic terrier" name.
What is more worrying is whether Chang Yuan can take on the heavy responsibility of the first male protagonist, and he has scolded himself before his self-directed "Warm Hugs".
So, which movie is your first choice for New Year's Eve?
