2021 has passed, the total box office of China's films has reached 47.258 billion, of which our domestic films have shined at the box office, occupying nearly 85% of the market share. Although there is still a certain distance from the peak of 60 billion, it is still far ahead in the world, and the mainland has become the world's largest film market for the second consecutive year.
This past year, the film market has remained strange. Some movies have a high box office, but to tell the truth, they are generally made, such as "Li Huanying"; some movies have a mediocre box office, but they touch people's hearts, such as "Send You a Little Red Flower".
Today, let's sort out 10 domestic and foreign movies worth looking forward to in 2022. See if there's anything you're looking forward to!
TOP1 《Chosin Lake's Shuimun Bridge》
Director: Chen Kaige / Lin Chaoxian / Xu Ke
Starring: Wu Jing / Yi Qianxi / Zhu Yawen / Li Chen
Release date: February 1, 2022
Synopsis: The most popular movie in China in 2021 is definitely not owned by "Chosin Lake", and has now surpassed "Wolf Warrior 2" to become the first place in the total box office of domestic films. Sure enough, only Wu Jing could defeat Wu Jing.
As a blockbuster sequel, fans are full of greater expectations for "Chosin Lake No Shumun Bridge". In "Chosin Lake", we were deeply impressed by the 7th Company of the Volunteer Army that could not be beaten. The sequel focuses the story on the Battle of Watergate Bridge, where the soldiers of the Seventh Company faced the brutal history of the More Intense Fire Suppression of the Us Army in the cold night of minus tens of degrees, and the three explosions of the Watergate Bridge.
The Battle of The Watergate Bridge was the most important part of the Battle of Chosin Lake, when the U.S. army gathered all its weapons and tried every means to break through, and the Watergate Bridge was a necessary link. As a result, the battle for the Watergate Bridge between the two sides was extremely fierce. To be honest, due to too many historical plots explained in the previous work, the plot jumped too fast in the process of watching the movie, and the first half was like a running account. I hope that after focusing on the story in the second half, the battle scenes and the different faces of the warriors can be better shown. As director Xu Ke said, compared with the previous work, "Chosin Lake's Water Gate Bridge" can be described as "colder, more bloody, more cruel, more hot".
TOP2 Sniper
Director: Zhang Yimou / Zhang Mo
Starring: Chen Yongsheng / Zhang Yu / Zhang Yi
Synopsis: The film is also based on the history of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and is also the first time that Lao Mozi entered the Spring Festival file. The film mainly tells the story of a deadly duel between the Sniper Squad of the Chinese Volunteer Army and the elite sniper team of the US Army in the cold and freezing Korean battlefield. The heroic story of the volunteer soldiers who struggled to win in the face of the overwhelming superiority of the enemy's advanced weapons and firepower equipment.
The story is based on Zhang Taofang, the "sniper king" of the volunteer army, who used an ordinary Soviet rifle, not even an optical scope, but shot down many excellent machine gunners in the US army. With 436 rounds of ammunition, 214 enemies were killed in 32 days, setting a record for the highest cold shot kill.
It is said that in order to be closer to the real battlefield environment, Zhang Yimou insisted on choosing to shoot in the weather of minus tens of degrees, and "could not wait for the real snow and did not shoot." In recent years, Master Zhang has made many main theme movies, such as last year's "On the Cliff", which is also very good. From the cast list, it can be seen that Master Zhang really likes Zhang Yi and continuously lets him be the protagonist.
"Sniper" has four stable Master Zhang as the main knife, with Zhang Yi, who has extremely tense acting skills, as the main actor, and real historical figures as the paving, I believe that this movie will not disappoint fans.
TOP3 Avatar 2: The Way of Water
Director: James Cameron
Starring: Sam Worthington / Zoe Saldana
Release date: December 16, 2022
Synopsis: The plot of the film continues 5 years after the first film. Jack Sally, a former disabled soldier on Earth, is now the patriarch of the tribe of the Nami tribe on the planet Pandora. One day, however, a brother of a tribe was killed by a sharp knife while patrolling the coast. Through the field survey Jack judged that there were already human Avatars mixed into the tribe, and a great war with humans was about to begin.
Avatar 2 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films for movie fans around the world, 10 years after the first release. Filming began in 2017. Recently, the film exposed a set of high-definition concept maps, and the scenery of Pandora's planet can still be as intoxicating as the first one.
Cameron has said that Avatar is a film about the rainforest and its indigenous tribes of primitive humans. In order to better shoot this film, Cameron is said to have brought the film's creator to the rainforest experience. Cameron almost never loses his hand, so I believe that the release of this film will also attract global attention, and fans have waited for ten years.
TOP4 "Miracle Stupid Kid"
Director: Wen Muye
Starring: Yi Qianxi / Tian Yu / Chen Halin / Qi Xi
Synopsis: The film mainly tells the story of Jing Hao, a teenager played by Yi Qianxi, who organized a group of ordinary people in Shenzhen tian yu, Qi Xi, Gong Lei, Xu Juncong, Wang Ning, Huang Yao, Gong Jinguo and other ordinary people to start a business together in order to save his sister's life. The film is also The second film by Wen Muye to focus on social reality after "I Am Not a Medicine God". As the director said: "''Medicine God' is a relatively social level hero, and 'Miracle' is an individual hero in this era, about family affection and love, for his home, the people he cares about." ”
Recently, the film was renamed from "Miracle" to "Miracle Stupid Child", which is intended to pay tribute to every diligent ordinary person who strives to chase happiness and the future like the protagonist of the movie, Jing Hao. The theme song also happens to be called "Still a Stupid Child", sung by Andy Lau and Yi Qianxi.
Yi Qianxi has gradually moved from a traffic idol to an acting school of small students, and has continuously filmed many high-profile works in recent years. The box office reputation of the films he participated in was very good, and I believe that this realistic theme released on the first day of the New Year can tear up many little girls in the Joy of the New Year.
TOP5 Fantastic Beasts: The Mystery of Dumbledore
Director: David Yates
Starring: Eddie Redmayne / Jude Lowe / Max Mickelson
Release date: April 8, 2022
Synopsis: The film tells Dumbledore knows that the mighty Dark Wizard Grindelwald is stepping up his actions to take control of the wizarding world. Unable to stop him alone, Dumbledore entrusts the mission to Newtskamand to lead a team of powerful wizards, witches, and a Muggle on a dangerous mission that will meet old and new wonder beasts.
This is the third film in the Fantastic Beasts series. Jude Lowe returns as Dumbledore and "Little Freckles" returns as Newt. After Johnny Depp quit production, Grindelwald in this sequel was taken over by Max Mickelson. Uncle Mai, who has received a lot of praise in appearance and temperament, this performance is also quite worth looking forward to.
TOP6 "No Name"
Director: Cheng Er
Starring: Liang Chaowei / Wang Yibo
Release time: To be determined
Synopsis: The film focuses on the hidden front during the anti-Japanese war, telling the story of underground workers in Shanghai who risked their lives to send intelligence to defend the country. It is also another domestic spy movie worth looking forward to after "The Sound of the Wind" in 2009. Although Zhang Yimou's "On the Cliff" last year was also a spy war theme, the plot of this film did not satisfy demanding fans.
Director Cheng Er has directed "Border Storm" and "The History of the Demise of Romanticism", and the film style is unique. In addition, Liang Chaowei re-starred in spy films, partner Wang Yibo, which is also worth looking forward to.
TOP7 "Sharp Blade Out of sheath 2"
Director: Ryan Johnson
Starring: Daniel Craig / Edward Norton / Ethan Hawke / Dave Batista
Synopsis: After Daniel Craig officially stepped down from 007, he was re-employed in "Blade Out of the Sheath". In this year's second installment, in addition to Craig, the all-star lineup joined by Edward Norton, Ethan Hawke, Batista and others is also worth looking forward to. Under the fiery reputation and good development momentum created by the previous work, the sequel has also been paid attention to by many detective fans.
It is said that the purchase of the rights to the film alone cost $450 million, and the director and Craig also paid as much as $100 million, an absolutely big-budget film, hoping that it will not disappoint fans.
TOP8 《Four Seas》
Director: Han Han
Starring: Liu Haoran / Liu Haocun / Shen Teng / Yin Zheng / Qiao Shan, etc
Synopsis: The film tells the story of Wu Renyao, a father and son who have not been seen for many years, when Wu Renyao and Wu Renteng drove a motorcycle, they met zhou huange and zhou huansong, orphan brothers and sisters who were not in line with each other, and also happened to meet various unreliable fox friends and dog friends, and several people joined hands to embark on an adventure journey.
From the trailer released, it can be seen that Liu Haoran, who is galloping, Liu Haocun, who looks back and smiles, and Yin Zheng, who is scrappy, are all eye-catching; and the appearances of Feng Shaofeng, Wang Yanlin, Huang Xiaoming, and Chen Xiaochun are even more surprising. The humor that caught me off guard in serious topics, and the inadvertent touch after laughing, let people shout "the familiar Korean humor is back"!
TOP9 "Moon Fall"
Director: Roland Emmerich
Starring: Halle Berry / Patrick Wilson / John C. Bradley / Michael Pena
Release date: February 4, 2022
Synopsis: The film tells the story of the moon being knocked out of its inherent orbit and beginning to rush straight towards the earth, and a group of rabble-rousers are sent to complete an impossible mission: to reach the surface of the moon and uncover the secret behind the moon's deviation to save the earth.
Roland Emmerich, known as the master of disaster films, has finally returned to direct disaster films, from "Independence Day" to "The Day After Tomorrow" to "2012", Emmerich may be the most human-friendly director in all of Hollywood. This time he destroyed the Earth in unexpected ways, and the Moon, under his guidance, became a product of aliens. As the moon continues to approach the earth, triggering tidal gravitational phenomena, human beings have an unprecedented major disaster. From the surface of the earth to the International Space Station, this will be an unprecedented desperate situation for humanity to face nowhere to hide.
TOP10 Mission Impossible 7
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise / Vanessa Kirby / Rebecca Ferguson / Simon Peggy
Release date: September 30, 2022
Synopsis: "Mission Impossible 7" will continue the previous story, in addition to Brother Atang, Vanessa Kirby will continue to play the White Widow, and Hayley Atwell, who has played the girlfriend of the US team, will also join, and will have a relationship with Brother Atang.
"Mission Impossible" has not disappointed fans in 22 years since its premiere. Brother Atang was even more desperate, acting from his thirties to his sixties. In particular, this seventh film is really too difficult. According to reports, in order to better present the plot of the movie, the 59-year-old Atang brother has experienced a year-long stunt training, practicing parachute jumping more than 500 times, motorcycle jumping more than 13,000 times, jumping off the mountain altitude of 1200 meters during filming, and falling valleys are also 1000 meters deep, this professionalism really makes the domestic small fresh meat ashamed.
Just because of the 59-year-old Brother Tang's desperation, it is worth entering the theater to contribute a movie ticket.
