I waited for the night.
The most anticipated thing is the cinema.
In order to control the impact of the epidemic, cinemas and entertainment venues in Guangzhou have been closed for 20 days (June 8).
Sir rubbed shoulders with the entire "Dragon Boat Festival", and now he brushes the ticketing software every day when he opens his eyes, or empty.
You know, July's blockbuster is coming soon.
The standard of the main theme gift: big production, big lineup, big time, big weather.
Which one are you locked?
Come, open -
The Revolutionary
Release date: July 1
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director: Xu Zhanxiong
Starring: Zhang Songwen / Li Yifeng / Tong Liya / Cheng Taishen / Peng Yuchang
First-to-post lineup:
Li Yifeng, Tong Liya, Cheng Taishen, Peng Yuchang, Li Jiuxiao, Han Geng, Liang Jing, Ma Shaohua, Bai Ke, Qin Hao, Yu Qian...
And the most important protagonist -
Zhang Songwen, playing Li Dazhao.
A reassuring pill guaranteed by acting skills.
It is to establish a biography of a great man, but also to compose a picture of a big era with personal experience.
However, in terms of creation, "Revolutionary" keeps a heart to enter life and enter the truth.
Mr. Shou Chang (Li Dazhao) was a revolutionary pioneer, one of the main founders of the Chinese Communist Party, and a teacher of Mao Zedong, but what else do we know? If we were his students, what would we want to know? We want to know what he likes to eat, will he quarrel with his wife and Chen Duxiu? We wanted to shoot a flesh-and-blood Li Dazhao.
In the trailer, there is an interesting contrast.
On the one hand, he was the leader, warrior, and even vanguard of the Wave movement.
He looks resolute and his figure is magnificent.
But on the other hand, on the morning stall, it is another picture of the reader's attitude.
He bowed his head with his chest and carefully wiped his hands.
Whispering the rules:
"If you have oil on your hands, you can't touch books."
It's everyday, it's fireworks.
It is the extraordinary that begins with the ordinary.
In the past six months, the main theme of film and television dramas (such as "The Age of Awakening") has frequently come out of the circle, representing the idols that young people follow, and are changing.
Do you see this force?
《1921》
Director: Huang Jianxin / Zheng Dasheng
Starring: Huang Xuan / Ni Ni / Wang Renjun / Liu Haoran
Relatively traditional main melody format:
Focus on the period before and after the 1921 Congress of the Communist Party of China.
A larger star cast:
Huang Xuan, Ni Ni, Wang Renjun, Liu Haoran, Yuan Wenkang, Zu Feng, Dou Xiao, Zhang Songwen, Liu Jiayi, Wang Junkai, Wang Yuan, Ou Hao... and hundreds of well-known actors.
The contrast is obvious.
Compared to the biography of the Revolutionary, 1921 depicts a broader cross-section of the era.
One of the key words:
youth.
The average age of the 13 "Great Congresses of the Communist Party of China" is only 28 years old.
Behind you is the old world, and in front of you is a chaotic pattern.
And their common goal is the ideal, New China.
In 1921, that was the starting point of the spark.
What "1921" wants to reproduce is their belief that "it can burn the original".
After reading it, listen to the Internationale again.
You will find that "Internacional must be realized", and the three most powerful words are "it must be".
That's courage, it's determination.
It is sharp and unstoppable, the will of youth.
Wolfwalker
Release date: July 3
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Tom Moore / Ross Stewart
Starring: Sean Binn / Horner Nephsie / Eva Whitak
Less nonsense, look at things first.
A bunch of stubborn animators have always believed that three-dimensional animation is not needed.
Lines, colors, imagination, enough to create a great dream -
△ The Secret of the Book of Kells, Song of the Sea, The Breadwinner
A name you don't know very well yet:
Irish animation studio, Cartoon Saloon.
Insist on hand-drawn, insist on 2D, and always stand on the opposite side of the blockbuster.
But it is unstoppable, becoming the "Ghibli of the Westerners".
The animation "WolfWalker" is the second animation released in the mainland by cartoon Salon after "The Breadwinner".
It is based on the Folklore of the Irish "Wolfwalker" and replaced with Robin Hood's costume.
Proposition without him, freedom.
It tells a parable that calls for free humanity under a layered social system.
However, compared to the previous game.
The story of this part is relatively simple, there is not much moral worth digging into, and the theme is slightly first.
The Douban score of 7.8 is enough for you to experience an unconventional fantasy adventure on the screen.
The Chinese Doctor
Release date: July 9
Expected: ★★★ ☆
Director: Liu Weiqiang
Starring: Zhang Hanyu / Yuan Quan / Zhu Yawen / Li Chen
Epidemic, Wuhan.
This new common memory does not need to be introduced further.
In the past year, we have watched so many anti-epidemic themes, can "Chinese Doctors" ignite our emotions again?
Sir was most impressed by the two sentences in the trailer.
Doctors hold up loudspeakers and shout at out-of-control patients.
A sentence of "You all want to live".
A sentence of "We all want to save".
After Liu Weiqiang's "Captain China", the original team rushed to work again, collecting a lot of news details and archetypes with character stories.
For this "truth", Sir still keeps looking forward to it.
It is expected that it can send a most honest memorial for collective memory.
《University》
Director: Sun Hong / Wang Jing / Ke Yongquan
True records, how four Tsinghua teachers and students decide their present and future.
No gimmicks?
After watching the trailer, Sir was moved by the fact that he did not hide in the ivory tower and talk about ideals.
Ph.D. graduation defense.
The protagonist Song Yuntian firmly explains his wish to the school: to go to the grassroots level.
At the same time, he also faces the most practical obstacles: the chaos of the job market, the opposition of his parents...
And, a relationship that will be put to the test.
Speaking of her, he was no longer firm, but nervously rubbed his legs with his hands.
Will you still consider marrying me?
Filmed in Tsinghua Garden, the title of the film is "University".
It is impossible not to think of President Mei Yiqi's definition of the word "university" at the beginning.
"The so-called university is not a building, but a master."
And now.
Is the mind of the reader a definition of the new era that should be given a higher and faster?
Or is it still the same as in the past, "one person, one life"?
Expect The University to give its answer.
New Big Head Son and Little Head Dad 4: Perfect Dad
Expected Value: ★★
Director: He Cheng / Liu Kexin
Voiced by: Dong Hao / Ju Ping
Sir gave two stars to look forward to.
One star to Uncle Dong Hao.
One star to Aunt Ju Ping.
City of Figurines
Director: Ding Liang / Lin Yongchang
Starring: Zhu Guangzu / Zhang Ming / Zhou Ziyu
Chinese animation will only shoot Nezha Sun Wukong?
The new theme "City of Figurines" is not convinced.
What attracted Sir was its bold setting.
Chinese dynasties have had figurines, they are buried deep underground to form a huge and fantastic underground world, and once the different figurine cities are connected, they can connect dynasties and span time.
Compared to the previous identified mythological figures.
Figurines are "tool men" who are buried in the ground without names and are made to be loyal to the feudal emperor.
This animation is not only about bringing traditional elements to the screen.
It is even more necessary to ask such a question through the figurines -
Who am I?
What am I fighting for?
Well, Sir wait for your answer.
"Tiangong SuZuo"
Release date: July 10
Director: Sun Zengtian
Voiced by: Li Lihong
The "Tip of the Tongue" series has successfully made Li Lihong the most drooling voice in China.
But this time, Teacher Li put down his rice bowl and talked about his craft.
Illuminations, nuclear carvings, Song brocade, Ming-style furniture, boat points, Su embroidery, Xiangshan gang creation, silk, jade carving... These old gadgets, which you may have never heard of, have a common name: Su Zuo.
What is a craftsman?
Simply put, one hand and one heart.
Sincerely, the golden stone is the open craftsmanship;
Choose one thing, the heart of the whole life.
"What to do when the second brother comes"
Release date: July 16
Director: Cheng Fenfen
Starring: Hu Xianxu / Deng Enxi / Zheng Wei
The original creative team of "Take My Brother Away" hit the iron while it was hot and grabbed the medicine according to the prescription.
Family themes, children's education, youth memories.
Originally scheduled for June, temporarily withdrawn, seems less confident ah.......
Stay on the sidelines and let Sir examine it.
"Burning Wild Boy's Sky"
Release date: July 17
Director: Zhang Yibai / Han Yan
Starring: Peng Yuchang / Xu Enyi / Zhang Youhao / Yin Zheng
It's Zhang Yibai again.
And played a new trick of youth films:
singing and dancing.
Replace lines with music and tell stories with action.
Good song and dance films, such as "Chicago" and "Philharmonic City", always make classics.
For mainland films, they are always blank and do not have much production experience.
Zhang Yibai's ambition was almost spoken out by Peng Yuchang himself——
I won't, but I love it
What drives us
Not a dance technique
Really so bold?
The following names are among the best in the industry.
Photography, Yu Jingping (masterpieces "July and Ansheng" and "Young You"),) art director, Zhai Tao. ("A Sea of People", "A Spoon", "July and Ansheng"); costume design, Wu Lilu ("New Can't Love", "Sweet Honey", "Golden Rooster").
And what gives the soul of the song and dance film:
Guest dance director, a popular Japanese choreographer Akane.
Music Director, Zhang Yadong.
Frankly speaking, song and dance films have never been the type favored by domestic audiences.
But this time, Sir is optimistic about "Burning Wild".
Youth should have loaded all possibilities and carried all dreams.
Then, with the lightest posture, fly into the sky.
Whitesnake 2: Green Snake Robbery
Release date: July 23
Director: Wong Ka Kang
Starring: Tang Xiaoxi / Crooked / Wei Chao
National comic fans are preparing for the New Year?
When Sir watched "Nezha Reborn" in the New Year, he was startled by the Easter egg at the end of the film.
Xiao Qing woke up from her coma, opened her eyes, and saw a tall building?!
Chasing light animation you are so bold.
The trailer can be seen that the most colorful contradiction is still the word "love".
The story immediately follows the upper part, Xiao Qing is accidentally beaten into the illusion of Shuluo City by Fahai, and only by letting go of his obsession can he successfully escape.
However, Xiaoqing could not put it down.
In her heart, she still has the obsession with saving her sister.
A small white headband was wrapped around his hand as a warning.
The violation of personal emotions and environmental settings is a natural emotional conflict, and how to explore it must be verified.
But, it's obvious right now.
The pursuit of light in a vain attempt to "expand the universe" ambitions.
Its popular players, Nezha and Baoqingfang, appeared one by one, and the world line was decisively tightened.
Tomorrow's War
Release date: July
Director: Wu Xuanhui
Starring: Gu Tianle / Liu Qingyun / Liu Jialing / Zhang Jiahui
In the past, Gu Tianle acted in bad movies, and everyone always had to say "after all, they have to take it to build a school."
But have you ever thought that you might use it somewhere else?
For example, this one, a science fiction film produced by Gu Tianle Company "Tianxia".
The trailer gives people the feeling: not to make money, but to burn money.
The time is set at 2055.
A meteorite gives Earth a rapidly reproducing alien creature that cleanses the earth while killing all life.
Hong Kong, on the other hand, has become the forefront of the battle.
The first-class special effects level, smooth combat scenes, and detailed details are the standards of top science fiction films.
Gu Tianle, who likes Transformers and has always hoped to make a mecha science fiction film, is finally going to realize his dream.
There is a sense of internationality, and there is no shortage of Hong Kong flavor.
In the trailer, there is a rare piece of mainland film, and the most common traditional art in Hong Kong films:
Quarrel with the leader.
It is still the "anti" in the bones of Hong Kong films, the natural distrust of power and mission.
Take another look at the introduction, and sure enough, there is another mystery:
While battling alien creatures, a terrifying conspiracy is unfolding at the same time.
There is no way not to expect.
Sir flipped through the Douban short review, the earliest, in 2015.
Now that the "missing persons" are scheduled for July, there is no accurate time.
Sir genuinely wants it:
Stay, don't go.
"Fury: Serious Cases"
Release date: July 30
Director: Chen Musheng
Starring: Donnie Yen / Nicholas Tse / Qin Lan / Tan Yaowen
Tough guy Sir, arrogant bandit, guns and bullets, fist to flesh.
I thought it was the most conventional production of Hong Kong films.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a farewell.
In August last year, director Chen Musheng died of nasopharyngeal cancer at the age of 58.
This "Fury Case", which is full of blood from Hong Kong movies, has become his posthumous work.
△ Chen Musheng, Xie Tingfeng, Zhen Zidan
This time, say nothing to the cinema to support.
May Hong Kong cinema not come to The Pole.
May there be more "Chen Musheng" in Hong Kong films.
"Rushing Out of the Earth"
Director: Hu Yibo
New IP?
Old friend too.
The original animation "Star Trek" was initially accused of plagiarizing "One Piece", and then reversed the reputation step by step.
In the end, Douban scored 9.5 points, becoming a generation's childhood memory.
However, this film adaptation is not the original author.
After the copyright changed hands, the color strip house that re-took the helm erased the original IP name of "Star Trek" and played a concept of "national style science fiction".
Shout out the exit number: "Chinese animation has a myth and a future." ”
Sniper
Director: Zhang Yimou / Zhang Mo
Starring: Chen Yongsheng / Zhang Yu / Zhang Yi
No trailer, not even official stills.
Publicity is almost zero.
But one line on the poster is enough to be the whole reason to expect -
"Zhang Yimou Director's Work".
The theme of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was previously called "The Coldest Gun."
The whole world may think that Lao Zhang is a master, but Lao Zhang only thinks that he is a "young director".
Just count the data, it is worth admiring him.
From 2020 to 2021, Zhang Yimou has a total of four works planned to be released (plus the director's production "My Hometown and Me"), which is the director with the most works in the mainland film circle in recent years.
The older he gets, the more he wants to create.
I am more willing to try more updated themes and genres than before.
"One Second" was filmed in the era, "On the Cliff" filmed spy wars, "Rock Solid" filmed anti-black, and "Sniper" was also his first attempt at modern war themes.
Is this a "master"?
This is an explorer who is more senior than others and more willing to break through himself than others.
Still facing "technical problems" again and again, shuttling back and forth on one new set after another.
Above, july movie viewing guide.
To summarize briefly.
This July, there are scenes, there is blood, there are burning ideals, there are common feelings.
And we are more accustomed to using a word pronoun: the main theme.
Is this already the most concentrated and most forceful direction of domestic films?
At the end of the day, whatever genre you put on the film and whether it looks good or not, you have to get the audience's consent.
This July, on the contrary, is like a proposition test of domestic movies.
Who is the protagonist?
"1921" has a detail that deserves more thought.
The manuscript of "New Youth" was sent for printing, and the protagonist Li Da (Huang Xuan) made a special trip to the printing factory.
Come to this trip, just change two words.
Replace "the people" with "the people."
No matter how "big" the era is, it will always be the era of the people.
What is the main theme?
It is our yearning, our eternal vigilance against humanity, our shared memories of a past.
This melody, coming into us, sang us.
Its power is not in the volume of the play.
Instead, it is the echo received.
