The box office of "Chosin Lake" is running for 4 billion.
What's even better is that there are movies after the blockbuster, and the cinema is not too deserted throughout October.
The films released are richer in genre and subject matter.
Which ones?
Let's take a look at next week's film list.
Lyceum Theatre
Director: Lou Ye
Starring: Gong Li / Zhao Youting / Oda Chejang / Pascal Gregory
Genre: Drama
Release date: 2021-10-15 (China)
Lou Ye's new work.
Say new is not new.
This is a movie that is long overdue.
After filming in 2019, I went to the Toronto Film Festival in July.
In September, he went to Venice again, nominated the Golden Lion, and announced the finalization.
As a result, it was withdrawn again in December.
Remember that year's first film festival, Cui Yongyuan joked about Lou Ye:
What's your movie called?
It doesn't matter, you say, it won't work anyway
It made Lou Ye cry and laugh.
Finally, after two years, the movie was going to be on.
Watch movie stories.
Time, 1941; location, Shanghai.
The famous actress Yu Yan returned to Shanghai, occupied by japan, ostensibly to perform a play for her old lover, but in reality, she was a spy.
With her arrival, the forces of all sides are eager to move.
Looking at the story, it is a spy movie.
The cast is also very strong.
Gong Li, Zhao Youting, Oda Chejang, Pascal Gregory, Zhang Songwen, Wang Chuanjun, etc.
However, if you look at it with the expectation of watching commercial blockbusters, it is a fish for a fish.
Think back.
Just looking at the story, Lou Ye's films are actually particularly commercial and popular.
"There is a cloud made of rain in the wind", forced demolition, collusion between officials and businessmen, extramarital affairs, and suspicious cases; "Tuina" blind people looking for prostitutes, coveting sister-in-law; "Floating City Mystery" Car accident mystery case, cheating and stealing, self-protection and murder.
Looking at the story elements, there are indispensable hunting elements that can attract the public.
But, when did he make a dog blood blockbuster?
Not to mention that this time it is still black and white.
So, don't expect "Blue Heart" to be a spy blockbuster like "On the Cliff".
What will "Blue Heart" look like?
If you are not sure about the audience of Lou Ye's style, it is recommended to go to see "Purple Butterfly" first.
In Shanghai, which was also during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, there were spies, gunfights, and old lovers reuniting and turning against each other.
However, it is not a glorification of the heroes behind the secret front, nor is it a national hatred that promotes revenge and hatred.
Rather, it is the tragic experience of a small person inadvertently destroyed by war.
Lou Ye is concerned with the changes of individuals in the upheavals of the times.
As a reminder, fat friends who can't stand Lou's handheld camera should bring a plastic bag to prevent motion sickness.
The Final Duel
The last duel
Director: Ridley Scott
Starring: Matt Damon / Judy Comer / Ben Affleck / Adam Draper
Genre: Drama / History
Release date: 15 October 2021 (USA)
The cast in front of and behind the scenes of this movie is strong.
The director is 84-year-old Ridley Scott.
The writers are two good friends, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and a female screenwriter, Nicole Harofensee.
The cast includes Judy Comer, who has recently soared all the way, the two star friends, and the veteran driver Adam Dreiffer.
And the story, based on real events, changes.
It is about the last legal duel in French history.
Returning from the battlefield, Karuzh learns shocking news from his wife that his friend Gris has raped his wife, Margaret.
The two sides have their own opinions, and the truth is difficult to discern.
Caruzh asked the king for permission and himself and Gris had a life-and-death duel.
Whoever wins is telling the truth and is not guilty.
And if Caruzh loses, not only will he die, but his wife will also be burned alive.
Ridley's grandfather sits in, and the film exudes an epic texture.
The question is, how does a story from hundreds of years ago respond to the present?
Look at the film structure.
One story, three perspectives, Rashomon-style story structure.
The same event, narrated from Caruch, Gris, and Margaret, is surprisingly different.
Someone lied?
No, it is precisely everyone who thinks they are telling the truth, which leads to the confusion of the truth.
The movie trailer focuses on Margaret —
A woman against a country.
"The Last Duel" is not about the duel itself, but about the speechless in the duel.
The woman who caused the duel.
She told the truth, and if she wanted justice, she had to bear the risk of being burned, the plight of a woman who had been raped hundreds of years ago.
What about today?
Shangqi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
Director: Destin Creighton
Starring: Liu Simu / Liang Chaowei / Okafina / Zhang Meng'er
Genre: Action / Sci-Fi / Adventure
Release date: 2021-10-14 (Korean streaming)
Is "Shangqi" good?
North American audiences have given their own answers.
Rotten Tomatoes Popcorn Index 98%.
Originally, I was looking forward to Liang Chaowei's performance in commercial blockbusters.
After all, the last time "The Ferryman" was really hot-eyed.
People all doubt whether Liang Chaowei can play a role other than the melancholy male god.
Maybe it was the melancholy and amorous image that the Sunglasses King had given him, which was really too deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Many viewers have forgotten that in "East Becomes West", Liang Chaowei's Ouyang Feng is cute and eccentric.
However, the film was not introduced in the end.
The "original sin" of this movie is the role played by Liang Chaowei - wen wu, the father of the male protagonist Shangqi.
The prototype of Wen Wu was Fu Manchu.
Fu Manchu is a famous character written by the British writer Sachs Romer.
Clever and cunning, sinister and evil, a classic image that represents the discrimination of the West against the yellow race.
Due to copyright issues, Marvel later changed the setting of the character.
In "Shangqi", the role of WenWu has been reshaped again.
Become an affectionate husband, a paranoid father.
Marvel is still old and spicy, and has never made movies against the habits of the audience.
Liang Chaowei's deep affection is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, then it is better to continue to be affectionate.
However, unexpectedly, I stepped on other lightning points.
"Original Sin" II.
It is an actor who uses an aesthetic that does not conform to the Chinese people.
Some viewers think that the male and female protagonists are not good-looking, or represent the stereotype of the West on Chinese.
hey!
That person Wu Shanzhuo did not act.
The movie will be released on October 14 on Korean streaming.
At that time, it's not bad to see that half of the lines in Hollywood movies speak Mandarin.
"Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog"
Director: Wang Xiaoshuai Hua Zhen
Starring: Duan Yihong / Hao Lei / Zu Feng / Wu Yue
Genre: Suspense / Family / Crime
Release date: 2021-10-13 (iQIYI)
Suddenly it was set.
Sure enough, the drama of the Mist Theater is so surprising.
The first to fire the first shot is this one.
Wang Xiaoshuai and Hua Zhen directed.
Starring, Duan Yihong, Hao Lei, Zu Feng, Wu Yue.
These people, there is a play at that station, and it is pleasing to the eye to watch.
A murder case that plagued the Xuan family for nineteen years.
Nineteen years ago, a daughter of the Xuan family was killed and thrown into the river.
The case has not been solved, and the Xuan family has changed from a happy and happy family to a family that is jealous of each other and hides secrets.
Nineteen years later, another flower girl was killed.
Implicating the unsolved case nineteen years ago also pushed the Xuan family to the brink of collapse again.
The appearance of happiness is shattered, and the hidden secrets are exposed one by one.
Get a preventive shot first.
Although the Mystery Mist Theater focuses on suspense, there are no dramas that really solve cases like Benguet's reasoning.
Instead, it is to solve unsolved cases to explore social issues such as human nature, desire, and family.
The same is true for "Octagonal Pavilion Mystery Fog" from the trailer.
One sentence - the family is the battlefield.
War between families, war between family and family.
A few tips.
The brother played by Zu Feng said to the sister played by Hao Lei in the old house: At that time, we were an enviable and happy family.
Hao Lei said: Happy?
You see, the brothers and sisters feel differently about home.
Under the surface of what my brother thought was happy, there was hidden pain that my sister did not know.
And the mother who was sick in bed took Hao Lei's hand and said:
Do you still hate it?
Hate whom? Why hate?
The rift of the previous generation has clearly continued into the next generation.
The daughter of the Xuan family said:
Families that have not solved homicides for many years, can this kind of family have a sound personality?
Finally, there is a domestic drama that dares to break the harmony of the family and explore the unbearable in it.
Between families, it is not only mutual help and mutual love.
There is also a "killing machine" inside.
Parental preference for children, the bad habit of Chinese families to favor sons over daughters, or moral kidnapping in the name of love.
There's so much to say and haven't said yet.
I hope this drama can give people a different look.
I don't want to see all kinds of fairy dolls and ancient dolls anymore.
"Hello! Mother Lord》
Director: Cao Dun / Jing Chong
Starring: Dong Jie / Yin Fang / Lu Fangsheng / Zhao Wei
Genre: Drama / Family
Release date: 2021-10-13 (China)
Dong Jie, playing the mother.
Playing her son with her was Yin Fang, who was only 6 years younger than her.
Judging from the trailer, this drama is the bitter history of a traditional good woman.
Marry a man, good bet. Then divorced, with a son alone, the ex-husband does not give maintenance.
A person working to raise children, but also encountered a wave of layoffs, can only find another way out.
It was hard to meet a good man from Japan, because of his son, he could only be separated.
In the end, the son grew up, didn't have to worry about it, and got cancer himself.
This is the traditional female lead drama that has always existed in domestic dramas.
Warmth is enough, novelty is lacking.
The quality of the finished film will be known next week.
"And You Just Shine"
Director: Fu Cong
Starring: Gong Jun / Wang Zixuan / Zhou Cheng'ao / Ma Rui
Genre: Drama / Love Please
Release date: 2021-10-11 (China)
How many backlog dramas is This Gong Jun?
It was completed in 18 years, and it is only released now.
Probably because of the heat brought to Gong Jun by "Mountain and River Order", he renewed the project's life.
Or a youth idol drama.
The well-behaved female student bully Lu Qiyi entered an art school without her parents, and changed from a bully to a scum.
According to the routine of idol dramas, no matter how much the heroine pulls her crotch, she can get the favor of the princes.
The male gods Fang Yan and Duan Ang were attracted to the kind and sincere Lu Qiyi.
Not only helped her adapt to school life, but also helped her win the understanding of her family.
What are the highlights of the idol drama from three years ago?
I do not know.
Anyway, the current idol dramas are old-fashioned and lose their teeth.
Thought of it.
It can allow fans to appreciate Gong Jun's eight-pack abs against time and space.
Enough is enough.
"My Name"
Director: Kim Jin-min
Starring: Han Shaoxi / Park Hee-soon / Ahn Phu-hyun / Jang Lee
Genre: Action / Thriller
Release date: 2021-10-15 (South Korea)
Netflix Korean drama.
Netflix has once again copied its own successful experience.
Squid Games proves the success of Netflix's strategy.
Engage in projects to find locals, pay for locals to contribute, and do not interfere with specific shooting.
There is such a good gold lord father in the world.
Hungry and crying.
"My Name" is also a look of madness.
Zhiyou witnesses his father being killed, becomes a policeman, and goes undercover in a drug cartel just to avenge his father.
The heroine of the Korean drama is not weak.
Zhiyou is a beating woman, and she has been beaten with great tenacity from the spirit to the body.
Witnessing the murder of his father, he disappeared and joined the drug cartel as an undercover agent.
On the one hand, we must beware of drug traffickers, and at the same time, we must also beware of traitors inside the police station.
How does she do it?
Fight, fight all the way.
There's a lot of play in the trailer.
Prisoners must be beaten, those who enter the drug cartel must be beaten, and those who escape must be beaten.
We are in a state of high tension all the time.
Cute-looking heroine who is only responsible for beauty?
inexistent.
The reality is a wild world, survival of the fittest.
Now watching various dramas, it is a feeling.
Only the heroines of domestic dramas are still pretending to be cute and weak, and the heroines of other dramas have already punched.
"No Rain in Godless Land"
Director: Hong Zipeng
Starring: Zeng Zhiqiao / Fu Mengbai / Ke Jiahui / Zheng Yuanchang
Type: Love
Release date: 17 October 2021 (Taiwan)
The only reason to follow this show is the "Want to See You" team.
And this drama also has fantasy elements.
It is about the deterioration of the environment on Earth, the gods preparing to evacuate, and after the last rain, the end is coming.
But the evacuation plan of the gods was disrupted by a girl.
The love of God and mortals.
Novelty is not novelty.
Human love has existed since ancient times, but there are fewer people who have fallen in love in modern times.
One question is how to make God look out of place in modern times.
There is also the question of how to make a new idea, a very old-fashioned love story type.
But with the blessing of the "Want to See You" team, it is still worth looking forward to.
After all, the ordinary campus love can also be so brain-burning, I now have my head ringing "so close your eyes temporarily."
And the old faces.
"Want to See You" heroine Ke Jiayi starred in friendship, playing the god of clouds and mist symbolizing lies and accidents.
One more word.
Like "Reverse Game", this drama also has iQIYI's investment, and it will only be on iQIYI's international version.
Want to say a three-word sutra...
"Ghost Baby Chagi"
Chucky
Directed by: Samir Rem / Demot Towns / Don Mansini
Starring: Brad Dawriff / Zachary Arthur / Tony Gardner / Kristin Alice
Genre: Suspense / Thriller / Horror
Release date: 12 October 2021 (USA)
An alternative reboot of an old IP.
How old is it?
The 1988 film Ghost Baby Returns is where this horror doll first appeared.
It is about a serial murderer who casts a spell before dying to house his soul on a doll.
That is, the ghost baby Chagi.
The doll is brought to a child as a toy, but the murderer who becomes a doll still keeps committing crimes and wants to regain his body...
The film was a huge hit and has been made for 7 films ever since.
Ghost Baby Chagi has also become a classic symbol of horror movies.
Now, the TV series is coming.
The ghost doll Chagi appears at a bazaar in a small town and is taken away by a boy.
Since then, there have been a series of homicides in the town.
The story, or that mode.
It depends on what the new technology can bring to this old story.
Today, when the audience is accustomed to seeing big scenes, can an old IP from decades ago still come to life?
It's difficult.
Turandot
Director: Zheng Xiaolong
Starring: Guan Xiaotong / Dylan Sprouts / Jiang Wen / Hu Jun
Genre: Love / War / Fantasy
I was shocked when I saw the cass of the movie.
Jiang Wen, Sophie Marceau, Hu Jun, Guan Xiaotong.
When I saw Jiang Wen's appearance, I was shocked.
This cute double ponytail, this cute little bangs, is this still TMD the Jiang Wen I know?
Then, a faint uneasiness surged into my heart.
Uncle Meat came to help everyone recall the memories.
The last fantasy movie where domestic flowers and foreigners fell in love was "The Great Wall".
The last time the stars held the moon and a bunch of people gave a small flower a movie was "Warring States".
And "Turandot" is still an ancient IP, derived from a classic Italian opera.
The story is about the story of the prince and the princess.
Princess Turandot is trapped in the spell of a three-colored bracelet, and the emperor is looking for capable people all over the world, hoping to help the princess get rid of the spell.
The prince who had fallen into the khanate fell in love with the princess and helped the princess remove the spell at the cost of his life.
And the murderous general also wants to use the power of the tricolor bracelet to seize power.
The Empire was dragged into a spell by a tricolored bracelet.
Wow, this story...
Uncle Meat couldn't help but think of Zhang Yimou's thoughts when he received the script of "The Great Wall", which was a story written a few years ago.
The old-fashioned story makes people wonder whether the screenwriter of "The Great Wall" has come to fool Zheng Xiaolong again.
This mixture of East and West is a mixture of mysterious winds, and there are walls at a glance.
At a deep level, this "wall" is a cultural difference.
Intuitively speaking, there are too few films and the audience is not used to it.
A large number of costumes appeared in Chinese a few foreign faces, and some people in martial arts used magic, how to see how to violate the peace.
The last time a Chinese-Western mash-up fantasy film was "Asura", which invested 750 million yuan and was suddenly withdrawn within 3 days of release.
Judging from the trailer, "Turandot" still has not broken the wall.
Although the dynasty setting is the Yuan Dynasty, it is normal to have foreigners.
However, do you see Guan Xiaotong's appearance as a Mongolian princess?
Does it match the text of the double ponytail?
Not to mention, the clichéd love story, plus a little bit of rebellion.
What else can be said?
I still hope that the movie can be made well and can make money. This will enable sustainable development.
Aren't the above still addictive?
Come, look at these again.
Only one of the best watchers, there is still room to chase down.
