According to Maoyan Pro, 10 films will compete for the 2022 Spring Festival file. More precisely, they will all be released on February 1, the first day of the Chinese New Year. However, there are still more than half a month before the Spring Festival file, and there are still major variables in the situation - following the withdrawal of "Super Family" and "Cherry Pills: Fantasy Notes", other films also have the possibility of "running away"; more importantly, it is widely rumored in the industry that "Watergate Bridge of Chosin Lake" is striving to enter the Spring Festival file, if this matter comes true, this "Big Mac" work will completely change the current pattern of the Spring Festival file.
Because "The Water Gate Bridge of Chosin Lake" and "Miracle" have Yi Qianxi as the starring role, some insiders joked in the forecast that this year's Spring Festival file will most likely be "double seal pro-gate".
"Super Family" and "Cherry Pills" were withdrawn
On January 5, the original Spring Festival movie "Super Family" suddenly announced its withdrawal. The explanation given by the filmmakers was: "Due to the huge workload of the film's post-production, despite the efforts, it was still unable to complete all the production work as scheduled, and we could only regret to cancel the original release schedule scheduled for February 1, 2022." Thanks to the continued support of the audience, we will see you one day. "Super Powerful Family" is directed by Song Yang, director of "Shy Iron Fist", starring Allen and Shen Teng. As a happy twist comedy film, the film originally had the highest number of "want to see" in the Spring Festival file on The Cat's Eye, so its withdrawal made many viewers feel confused and disappointed.
Unexpectedly, on the second day after the withdrawal of "Super Family", the 3D animation movie "Cherry Pills: Fantasy Notes" directed by Xue Xiaolu also announced the withdrawal. Produced in China and supervised by the Japanese original team, the film is narrated as "Little Maruko will fly from daily life to a new world full of fantasy".
The enthusiasm of the whole people brought by the Winter Olympics may spread to the film market
According to the number of maoyan "want to see" ranking, the top three hottest films in the current Spring Festival file are "Miracle", "Four Seas" and "This Killer Is Not Calm", the quality of the director and starring past works determines the audience's expectations, comedies and animations also have higher attention different from usual in this period.
According to cinema sources, in the Spring Festival film currently scheduled, Zhang Yimou's father and daughter's "Sniper" has been officially released, "then it should be iron hearted and will not be withdrawn." Zhang Yimou's works have always been quality guaranteed, and if "Chosin Lake's Watergate Bridge" is successfully "parachuted", "Sniper" may become the former's biggest competitor in similar films. In addition, the holding of the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games may become an additional boost to this Spring Festival slot. Driven by the patriotic atmosphere of the whole people, the domestic films on the big screen of this year's Spring Festival file may win greater audience enthusiasm than in previous years.
"Watergate Bridge" will enter the Spring Festival file? Rumors are quite possible
If you consider the recent rumors that "Chosin Lake's Water Gate Bridge" will enter the Spring Festival file, then the withdrawal of "Super Family" and "Cherry Pills: Fantasy Notes" is easy to understand. As the sequel to the highest-grossing film in Chinese film history, "Changjin Lake", if the film "airborne" the Spring Festival market with the greatest box office potential throughout the year, it will undoubtedly completely change the pattern of the schedule.
In recent years, the Spring Festival stalls have gradually revealed new rules for the game of "the stronger the stronger". Taking last year's Spring Festival as an example, the Chinese mainland film market received a total box office of more than 7.8 billion yuan, and a total of 160 million people entered the cinema, refreshing the record of the highest box office and movie attendance in the History of Mainland Film. However, it is worth noting that a total of 7 blockbusters with their own selling points participated in the Spring Festival this year, but in the end, 80% of the total box office were collected by the top two box office movies "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Hello, Li Huanying".
Considering the strong market competitiveness of "The Water gate Bridge of Chosin Lake", if the film officially enters this year's Spring Festival file, many films that were originally intended to share a piece of the Spring Festival file may be reduced to "accompanying running". At that time, I am afraid that more films will be announced to be withdrawn. Similarly, as a series sequel with the largest investment volume in the past two years, if there is no hard obstacle such as "too late to do the later stage", "The Water gate Bridge of Chosin Lake" will not easily give up the Spring Festival file, which is the largest good file in the market volume of the year.

From the story point of view, this does not seem to be a "suitable" Spring Festival family work, but in recent years, realistic theme works have become increasingly popular among the audience, and "Miracle" is Wen Muye's latest work after the 2018 word-of-mouth box office double high work "I am not a medicine god", coupled with the strength of acting skills and strong box office appeal reflected by the lead actor Yi Yanqianxi in "Young You" and "Send You a Little Red Flower", "Miracle" may really be able to create a box office "miracle" in this year's Spring Festival file.

Han Han's self-written and self-directed works, such as "Flying Life", "Riding the Wind and Waves", and "After the End", have always maintained the stability of box office and word-of-mouth, and the experience of entering the Spring Festival file twice is enough to make him not afraid of ordinary opponents. This new film is also "stable" enough from the lineup - Shen Teng, Yin Zheng, and Qiao Shan belong to the "festive elements" of the Spring Festival file, of which Shen Teng and Han Han have had a pleasant cooperation as early as 2019's "Flying Life", and the addition of male and female protagonists Liu Haoran and Liu Haocun is obviously to attract young audiences.
