<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" data-track="12" > the theme of war is hot, and the big production is worth promising</h1>
●《Dongji Island》
Filing unit: Beijing Seven Impressions Culture Media Co., Ltd
Screenwriters: Dong Runnian, Chen Shu, Zhang Yi
Synopsis: In 1942, Luo Xiao, a fisherman on the island of Zhoushan, and his adopted son Ah Dang witnessed an American submarine attacking Lisbon Maru, where the Japanese were escorting prisoners of war, saving Newman, a British prisoner of war. Newman's arrival plunges Dongji Island into crisis, and after experiencing a life-and-death test, Luo Xiao transforms into a brave warrior who dares to resist and starts a sea camp with the fishermen of Dongji.
The film's main creative lineup is strong, gathering three gold medal screenwriters. Dong Runian has written for "Old Cannon", "Crazy Alien", "Heart Flower Road Release", "Cook Drama Leper" and other screenwriters, and has also directed the film "The Man Taken by the Light"; screenwriter Chen Shu can be described as the royal screenwriter of director Lu Yang, serving as the screenwriter of the "Embroidery Spring Knife" series of films and "Assassination of a Novelist". Screenwriter Zhang Yi's representative works are "Chinese Partner", "Dear", "Win the Championship" and so on.
In terms of directing, "Dongji Island" is directed by Guan Hu. In recent years, Guan Hu has successively directed several war films such as "Eight Hundred", "King Kong Chuan" and "Revolutionary", all of which have obtained good box office. The film focuses on the Shipwreck of Lisbon Maru during World War II, tells the story of Chinese rescue prisoners, and is filmed in Hainan.
With the box office of "Chosin Lake" climbing, it can be seen that the model of "home and country feelings + large production" is becoming more and more popular, and the strong creative lineup adds a layer of protection for "Dongji Island".
● "Grab the Beach Hainan Island"
Filing unit: Wind Blowing Film (Haikou) Co., Ltd
Director/Screenwriter: Gao Qunshu
Synopsis: At the beginning of 1950, under the sea, land and air defense system established by the enemy on Hainan Island, our army successfully changed from a land tiger to a sea dragon through active planning and training, and in the process of many submarines and forced crossings, it created many important victories in our army's maritime operations, and finally completed the landing on the beach and liberated Hainan Island.
Also noteworthy of attention is the war-themed film "Raiding Hainan Island", which is directed and written by Gao Qunshu, who directed "The Sound of the Wind", "A Matter of Wind and Snow", "The New Girlfriend Era" and "Trident".
Gao Qun's writing style is diverse, and the camera pays more attention to the stories of small civilian people, and at the same time, he is extremely partial to the theme of police and bandits. Therefore, from the perspective of content, "Grabbing Hainan Island" may not only be limited to the feelings of home and country, blockbuster elements and national emotions, but also have brilliant places in plot settings and suspense, which is very worthy of attention.

●"Northeast Family"
Filing unit: Chaole Unlimited (Hainan) Film Co., Ltd
Writer: Indah
Synopsis: Wang Xiaojiao runs a bathing center, and her parents were two-person actors at the cultural center when they were young. In the past two years, the old lady has always been talking about going to Hainan. On this day, Wang Xiaojiao went home, and the old lady told Wang Xiaojiao that she had rented a motorhome, and the driver's name was Ge Dali. At the insistence of the old lady, the family could only leave immediately.
In 2001, the sitcom "A Family in northeast China" went viral, telling the story of what happened between three generations of a family of ordinary workers in a large state-owned enterprise in Changchun City, Jilin Province. After 20 years, "Northeast Family" appears with a new content and volume. The original director Yingda will also serve as the screenwriter of the film version of "Northeast Family".
The cinematization of sitcoms is not a new attempt, and the previous "Wulin WaiChuan" and "Love Apartment" are all cases. On the one hand, sitcoms that accompany the audience for a long time have emotional advantages; on the other hand, the film reinforces the dramatic conflict and can give the old audience a new and surprising experience.
However, spanning two decades, the main consumer group is not familiar with and remembers "Northeast Family". With the decline of domestic sitcoms in recent years, how to recall old audiences and capture new audiences in production and publicity is a problem that producers need to solve.
● "New Truant Veyron"
Filing unit: Beijing New Studio Media Co., Ltd
Screenwriters: Xu Nan, Annan
Synopsis: Huang Xiaogui, a key witness in a major case in a city in Southeast Asia, accidentally absconded. SWAT Officer Zhang Hao went undercover to the International Aristocratic School to try to find Huang Xiaogui by approaching his daughter Huang Ying. In the end, the resourceful and brave Zhang Hao overcame the difficulties, followed the vine to find the melon, successfully found the witness Huang Xiaogui, and cracked the big case.
From the perspective of the name of the project, the film is easy to think of the "Truant Weilong" starring Zhou Xingchi and Wu Mengda in 1991, and from the perspective of actor configuration, Huang Yishan, the star of "New Truant Weilong", is also the actor of "Huang Xiaogui" in "Truant Weilong", and he can be seen in classic movies such as "Nine Pin Sesame Officer" and "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang".
On October 15, the film was launched on video websites such as iQiyi and Youku, but only received a low score of 4.3 points. Netizens commented, "Domestic network has become a nursing home for Hong Kong actors. For the female body parts that go up to shoot, the meaningless harmonic terrier, and the plot that does not make the shit, what can make them seriously act may really be the love of acting. ”
It is not the first time that the domestic network has "remade" classic dramas, but it is often criticized and criticized for soft pornography, low style, and illogical plot. Fried cold rice selling feelings is no longer suitable for today, in the name of feelings but insincere old drama remake, can only end up in the "only name is OK" embarrassing point.
● "Nezha: The Rebirth of the Spirit Pearl"
Filing unit: Zhejiang Fengshang Ruizhi Film and Television Co., Ltd., Yingju Tianxia Culture Media (Beijing) Co., Ltd
Screenwriters: Wei Xiangfei, Zeng Wenli, Zeng Chenxuan
Synopsis: Nezha was forced to commit suicide by Ao Guang because he killed Ao Bing, and lost his memory after being reborn. Ao Guang took the opportunity to use false memories to use Nezha, who was involved in a conspiracy to destroy the world. Finally, under the Buzhou Mountain, Li Jing used his life to awaken Nezha. Nezha destroyed the Heavenly Seal and foiled Ao Guang's plot, and li Jing also released his previous suspicions.
Since "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending" set a box office miracle, Nezha-related IP and animated series have received unprecedented attention, and more live-action movies are being filmed. Although this film is related to Nezha IP, there are few details of production and publicity, and the content is not a sequel to "Nezha's Devil Boy Descending", and whether it can receive praise also needs to be marked with a question mark.

●"Knife • Wind"
Filing unit: Tencent Pictures (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd
Screenwriter: Wu Mengzhang, "Riot Control Team"
Synopsis: In 1992, a serial murder occurred in the mining area of Yangjing City, and Li Yuexin, a criminal police officer of the mining district bureau, was ordered to investigate, but he rubbed shoulders with the murderer several times, and the murder also came to an abrupt end. Seven years have passed, things are not human, Li Yuexin is about to be transferred, but the murder case happened again, Li Yuexin decided to stay behind and pursue the murderer, and finally brought the murderer to justice.
The screenwriter of this play is Wu Mengzhang, whose previous works include "The Storm of The Rock", "Silent Witness", "Peacekeeping Riot Squad" and so on. Making a serial murder project into a smaller film is also quite difficult.
● "Hey, Buddy"
Filing unit: Wanda Film and Television Media Co., Ltd
Screenwriter: Sun Tao
Synopsis: Yu Chao accidentally lost his perception ability due to a sports competition, coinciding with the release of his brother Haobo, who had not been seen for many years, and the two brothers whose feelings were in jeopardy untied the knot of the year, and the brother Haobo was suddenly destroyed, but the two brothers still walked side by side. In the end, Yu Chao returned to the field with the help of his brother.
From the perspective of theme, the film takes the realistic route of emphasizing family affection, and previously, the theme of brotherly warmth as the main line rarely appeared on the big screen. Previously, "Take My Brother Away", which was also produced by Wanda Film and Television, was the main brother and sister love, and also received high praise, laying a certain foundation for this attempt.
● "Joy From Heaven"
Filing unit: Wanda Pictures (Changchun) Co., Ltd
Screenwriter: Sun Yanhao
Synopsis: The story tells the story of Xiao Xia and Xiao Tao, whose divorce is imminent, suspended their divorce due to the new policy "divorce cooling off period" implemented by the Civil Affairs Bureau, at this time, Xiao Xia obtained a windfall, and after experiencing a test, the two regained their trust, and finally the two re-established a new life.
In the context of the cooling-off period of divorce, the romantic comedy is of great practical significance and the theme is relatively novel. In recent years, there have been few high-quality domestic romantic comedies, and the drama is very worthy of the audience's attention.
