There is no need to whitewash, Chinese cinemas have reached the most difficult times.
Look back at the last two months.
In October, 31 days, 5 new films were released.
In the same period of 2021, it was 42.
In early November, the movie released and the box office became a hellish joke.
The movie version of "Want to See You" released the first trailer, which was immediately ranked first in the hot search; "Avatar 2" is set (December 16), Sir circle of friends brush the screen carnival.
We haven't seen a good movie in a cinema for too long.
Even anticipation is luxurious.
The good news is.
Just past the Golden Rooster Festival, Ali Pictures, Wanda Pictures, and Maoyan Entertainment all released many new films.
Sir has sorted out a list of Chinese movies that we must pay attention to next, some have released trailers, some are just a poster, but some have been filmed, but they have not been released.
A thousand words in one sentence - set the file, a "Avatar 2" can't save the cinema.
"Manjiang Red"
Release time: 2023
Director: Zhang Yimou
Starring: Shen Teng / Yi Yangqianxi / Lei Jiayin / Yue Yunpeng / Zhang Yi, etc
This is probably the closest and most certain movie to us.
Zhang Yimou and screenwriter Chen Yu cooperated for the third time after "Sniper" and "Rock Solid", aiming for the Spring Festival file.
The film tells the story of a righteous man during the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Prime Minister Qin Hui (played by Lei Jiayin) led the forbidden army to the border to talk with Jin Guo, and on the eve of the talks, a mystery appeared in the local mansion of the local clan where they lived.
The pawn Zhang Da (played by Shen Teng) is an important figure in it, with him as the center, the mystery is revealed step by step...
"The film has many reversals, unlike all the suspenseful movies we have seen before, it uses one of the most challenging and difficult shooting and editing methods to express it."
In fact, it is enough to rush Zhang Yimou's signboard + half of China's middle-aged and young generation actor (Shen Teng + Lei Jiayin + Zhang Yi + Yi Yangqianxi).
"Rock Solid"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Zhang Yimou
Starring: Lei Jiayin / Zhang Guoli / Yu Hewei / Zhou Dongyu / Sun Yizhou and so on
Zhang Yimou's first police and bandit movie.
"Rock Solid" is a realistic police film about anti-black, which was completed as early as 2019 and was originally scheduled to be released in 2020.
Led by Lei Jiayin and Zhou Dongyu, and at the same time brought together three generations of actors, such as Zhang Guoli, Yu Hewei, Tian Yu, Sun Yizhou, etc., and their acting skills and traffic are guaranteed.
This is also the second time that Zhang Yimou and Zhou Dongyu have cooperated.
Yes, just the second time.
There are many Mou girls, but those who have cooperated twice, in addition to Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi, Zhou Dongyu is the third.
Zhang Yimou has quite a "old man talking about juvenile madness" posture in recent years, the camera has not stopped, and one or two films a year are being filmed.
For a 72-year-old director, it can only be said that he really loves movies.
And for Chinese fans, this is a great thing.
"Nameless"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Cheng Er
Starring: Tony Leung / Wang Yibo / Zhou Xun / Wang Chuanjun / Sen Bozhi and so on
A main melody that wanders outside the language of the main melody.
The trailer has a strong Cheng Er imprint.
By the sea, throwing corpses, gossiping.
In the absurdity, there is a strange tension.
Those who don't like it will scoff.
But what you like, love can't be.
This is the only Chinese director of Cheng Er - savage elegance, elegant savagery.
"The Deep"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Tian Xiaopeng
Starring: Su Xin / Wang Tingwen and so on
Sir had already been looking forward to it once.
"He is not missing to affirm the National Day champion? 》
In the filing of the National Film Bureau, it can be seen that "Deep Sea" tells an original science fiction story.
"In 2045, the human world is facing a devastating attack from unknown life in the depths of the sea, and a group of special beast soldiers composed of deep-sea consciousness awakened people will fight back on behalf of mankind. In a war for the right to exist, human beings reflect on the value of existence. ”
Wang Changtian, president of Light Media, described "The Deep Sea" as follows: "No similar idea has been seen in animated films around the world.
And director Tian Xiaopeng said:
This is a sci-fi suspense pit, he is a super sci-fi fan, his Weibo name is "Deep Sea Stranger".
Innovation has been the subject of my entire directorial career
The only thing to pursue
The most primitive The greatest power
If not
Maybe I wouldn't have made a movie
On Douban, there are two comments about "Deep Sea" that make people jump with excitement.
One we verified with our own eyes in 2020.
"Easter eggs are more stunning than the whole piece of Jiang Ziya."
Waiting for "Deep Sea" to land, we once again collectively issued the same emotion: Awesome!
"N-hand news: After watching this film, industry insiders decided to let Tian Xiaopeng shoot the "Three-Body Problem" movie."
"Chang'an 30,000 Li"
Release time: 2023 (summer)
Director: Xie Junwei / Zou Jing
Screenwriter: Red clay small stove
Chasing light animation works.
The advance version of the trailer broke out, and the film will be released in the summer of 2023.
It tells the past of Gao Shi and Li Bai, the envoy of the Great Tang Festival.
One is to move to Changsha
Looking west to Chang'an, I don't see my home
The jade flute is played in the Yellow Crane Tower
Jiangcheng falls plum blossoms in May
A few years after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tubo army attacked the southwest, Gao Shi fought unfavorably, and Chang'an was in danger. When trapped in the lonely city, Gao Shi recalled his life with Li Bai to the eunuch of the superintendent...
Why expect? In the words of Douban netizen @Orange Red:
"We animation finally began to be historical figures, still poets, or Li Bai!"
"Fengshen Trilogy"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Urshan
Starring: Huang Bo / Fei Xiang / Li Xuejian / Xia Yu / Chen Kun and so on
Maybe some young viewers don't know Urshan anymore.
Look at Sir.
This young director, born in 1972, is a staunch explorer of Chinese blockbusters.
——"Painted Skin 2" and "Dragon Hunting" have shortcomings, but they have merits in genre creation and industrial standards.
Under Wuershan's conception, he wanted to adapt "Romance of the Gods" into the capacity of three films, which are independent of each other and inherit each other.
The film adopts a new industrial process, learning from the experience of Hollywood, and three consecutive films to ensure the state of the actors and the coherence of the shooting.
The movie was completed in 2018, the first trailer was released in 2019, and the trilogy was originally planned to be released in 2020, 2021, and 2022 (the poster above is 2020), but there is no exact news until now.
It's not just a matter of doubt: is it post-production or something else?
Can the movie still be released?
The official micro is still being updated.
But regardless, as a Chinese movie fan, Sir can't help but look forward to it – especially today.
We desperately need a truly successful popcorn blockbuster to reinvent our faith in domestic entertainment.
"749 Bureau"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Lu Chuan
Starring: Wang Junkai / Miao Miao / Zheng Kai / Li Chen / Xin Baiqing and so on
It has been seven years since Lu Chuan's last movie "Nine-Story Demon Tower".
"749 Bureau" is also known as "Nine-Story Demon Tower 2".
Inspired by director Lu Chuan's work experience in the 749 Bureau after graduating from the Military Academy.
According to the plot synopsis previously exposed on the Internet, the movie takes place in the "near future" year 2030, and the entire city is facing a huge disaster, and the soldiers of the third squad of the "749 Bureau" bravely faced and defused the disaster.
It is reported that during the film, it suffered unexpected interruptions such as the break of the capital chain, and it has been successfully completed.
Lu Chuan said that "749 Bureau" is about his youth memories and growth marks.
In addition, he felt an almost oppressive connection.
"Between 2018 and 2019, I spent more than two months in Chongqing organizing the filming of the lockdown, the big retreat, the empty city... How did I expect that less than half a year after the movie was completed, I saw extremely similar shots in the news. ”
"It's terrifying."
"Flames on the Plain"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Zhang Ji
Starring: Zhou Dongyu / Liu Haoran / Mei Ting / Wang Xuebing / Yuan Hong, etc
It was started on March 26, 2020, finished on June 10 of the same year, and was originally scheduled to be released on December 24, 2021, and there has been no news so far.
This is Sir's testimonial, written last December.
In terms of quality, it is a strong contender for this year's top ten, and even the best national film.
Director Zhang Ji.
Executive producer: Diao Yinan.
Starring Zhou Dongyu, Liu Haoran.
The story is adapted from Shuang Xuetao's "Moses on the Plain", and the author himself serves as the artistic director.
Just looking at the trailer, the texture is right - turbulent human hearts and cold northeast China.
Stagnation society and restless youth.
There is also the line that is constantly repeated in the film:
"Do you dare to go and set a fire with me?"
It's hard for fans not to think of "Daylight Fireworks" 7 years ago.
Diao Yinan shows a complex and ambiguous, sharp and affectionate moth fighting fire in the bleak northeast, and allows Liao Fan to win back a Berlin actor.
Sir couldn't help but look forward to - this time, it will be Liu Haoran? Or Zhou Dongyu?
"Poetry Tired of the World"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Xu Haofeng
Starring: Chen Kun / Zhou Xun / Song Jia / Geng Le / Huang Jue and so on
A martial arts film directed by Xu Haofeng, the title of "Poetry Eyes Tired of the World" comes from "Full Moon, Books in the Mountains", is a scattered song by Zhang Kejiu, a scattered song by Zhang Kejiu, a scattered song writer in the Yuan Dynasty.
At a time when martial arts films have long been in decline, Xu Haofeng seems to be an outlier.
In the director who made martial arts films, Xu Haofeng is an outlier among outliers.
The "Cold Weapons Trilogy", "The Trail of the Wokou", "The Arrow Willow White Ape" and "Master" are very different, without the dazzling big scenes in other martial arts films, but they are also favored by some markets because they are close to the real martial arts style.
This time, how the story is, there is no way to explore, and there is little introduction.
It tells the story of the swordsmen who make a living from martial arts being involved in the dispute between the martial arts and the court.
Plus the male and female protagonists in the stills, a tired face.
Dark patch name.
The poetry is tired of the world, from Zhang Kejiu's "Full Moon, Books in the Mountains":
Rise and fall through the ages of prosperous dreams, poetry eyes tired of the world.
Konglin arbor, Wugong vine grass, Chu temple jackdaw.
Several huts, with tens of thousands of books, cast in the old village.
What's going on in the mountains? Songhua brewed sake, spring water sencha.
"Wading Through the Sea of Rage"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Cao Baoping
Starring: Huang Bo / Zhou Xun / Zu Feng / Zhang Youhao / Zhou Still and so on
The finale of the "Burning Heart Series Movies" directed by Cao Baoping.
Adapted from the novel of the same name written by Lao Huang.
With a murder of a young girl, tell the truth of human nature behind the suspect and the victim and the two families.
Fisherman Lao Jin (played by Huang Bo) offered his daughter Jin Lina (played by Zhou Yiran) to study in Japan, but one day he accidentally received the news of his daughter's death. And Jin Lina's boyfriend and suspect Li Miaomiao (played by Zhang Youhao) fled back to China with the help of her parents.
Old Jin has since embarked on the road of seeking revenge, and also tried to wade through the sea of anger...
Screenwriter Lao Huang once revealed on Weibo one of the inspirations for the novel:
"At the beginning, I had an idea, and I was quite crazy, which was to let the father of the victim female student chase the murderer all the way to the US-Mexico border, he was smuggled, deceived, and finally killed the murderer on the street in Mexico City."
"At that time, my mind was full of 'Old and Nothing'. After writing the outline of the novel for a while, I still felt good, and I was going to start writing, and suddenly I had a dream that Lao Jin was driving a broken fishing boat alone at sea..."
"Mermaid 2"
Release time: Unknown
Director: Stephen Chow
Starring: Allen / Lin Yun / Deng Chao, etc
Xing Ye's new work, the sequel to "Mermaid".
In 2016, "Mermaid" was released during the Spring Festival and swept the box office of nearly 3.4 billion, setting the highest box office record for a film directed by Stephen Chow in the mainland.
Now 6 years have passed since the release of "Mermaid", but the second part is still unknown.
Except for a few set photos, even the trailer is difficult to find.
△ It is rumored on the Internet that this film was completed in 19 years
The heroine followed Lin Yun, whose acting skills were not recognized by the audience in the previous film, but the male protagonist was replaced by the happy and twisted Allen.
Coupled with the influence of Wu Yifan, one of the protagonists, the film may face a lot of modifications.
Another reason for the delay in showing up.
Sir blindly guessed, although he has long admitted that "Jiang Lang is exhausted", for the movie, Mr. Zhou can come up with a very good job, and will not easily use nine points or eight points to fool people.
"Wind Forest Volcano"
Release time: 2023
Director: Mak Junlong
Starring: Takeshi Kim / Leung Ka Fai / Liu Qingyun / Koo Tianle / Gao Yuanyuan, etc
"I want to create a new Hong Kong, a Hong Kong with a long period of snow. The climate will change, people will change because of the change of climate, and their thinking will become different, and I hope that this big world is Hong Kong, which has been snowing for many, many years, and it can also be said to be a tipping point for changing the dynasty. ”
"Creating a New Hong Kong".
The one who said this is just a director who has made a movie.
His name is Mai Junlong.
But also because he made that movie - "Zombie", we have a bit of confidence in it.
From 2017 to 2021, 5 years have passed.
There has been no announcement yet.
Synopsis: I only know that this is a drug-related crime movie.
Black and white painting style.
Super luxurious cast, Leung Ka Fai, Liu Qingyun, Koo Tianle, Jin Chengwu.......
△ From left: Cai Decai, Mai Junlong, Liu Qingyun, Wu Jialong, Wei Shiya opened champagne to celebrate the successful completion of shooting
The latest developments are.
Gao Yuanyuan attended the Golden Rooster Award a while ago, and said in a backstage interview:
I don't have any work this year, so I'm embarrassed to be interviewed. I had a work 5 years ago, and I'm still cutting it, and I hope that "Wind Forest Volcano" will meet you soon.
Hope +10086!
"When the Wind Rises Again"
Release time: 2023
Director: Weng Ziguang
Starring: Kwok Fucheng / Tony Leung / Du Juan / Xu Guanwen / Chunxia and so on
"When the Wind Rises Again" starring Tony Leung and Kwok Fucheng was unveiled at the Hong Kong International Film Festival on August 15, 2022, and Chinese mainland changed to 2023.
The director is Weng Ziguang, who filmed "Stepping on the Snow and Looking for Mei".
The cast is luxurious, with Kwok Fucheng, Tony Leung, Du Juan, Xu Guanwen, Chunxia, Tam Yaowen and other acting schools competing for the show.
The film tells the story of 30 years of black and white events in Hong Kong.
Lei Le (played by Kwok Fucheng) and Nanjiang (played by Tony Leung) are two inspectors, one of them is flamboyant and daring, and the other is restrained and strategic.
Under the maneuver of Leile's wife Cai Zhen (played by Du Juan), they joined forces to become the "double male detective" known to everyone in black and white, and they have been in Hong Kong for 30 years.
But behind the checks and balances, there are countless firefights, murders, betrayals, seizures of power...
The undercurrent is surging, and it is about to start, very much looking forward to it!
"Goldfinger"
Release time: 2023
Director: Zhuang Wenqiang
Starring: Tony Leung / Andy Lau / Cai Cheuk-yan / Yam Dahua / Fang Zhongxin, etc
Hong Kong suspense drama crime film.
The story is based on the Jianing Group case in the 1980s.
With an investment of HK$350 million, it is the largest investment in the history of a Hong Kong film.
In the 1980s, a Hong Kong-listed company, the Garry Group, went from rise to liquidation in just a few years.
Chairman Cheng Yiyan (played by Tony Leung) turned from a shareholder idol to a rat crossing the street, and the group was also tracked down by the Independent Commission Against Corruption in eight countries across borders, and the incident caused a sensation around the world.
The film will uncover the dark side of Hong Kong's commercial scene in the British era.
"Assassination Storm"
Release time: 2023
Director: Qiu Litao
Starring: Zhang Zhilin / Gu Tianle / Wu Zhenyu / Myolie Wu / Zhou Xiuna and so on
Based on Zhou Haohui's original novel "Death Notice: The Dark One".
"Bomb Disposal Expert" series, "Drug Sweep 2" director Qiu Litao's new work.
In a serial murder case, anyone who receives a "death notice" will be brutally killed according to the announced date.
In order to investigate the truth, policeman Luo Fei (played by Zhang Zhilin), the witness to the explosion case Huang Shaoping (played by Gu Tianle), and the task force Han Hao (played by Wu Zhenyu) joined forces to continue to go deeper.
However, the truth keeps reversing, and everyone discovers that there is a huge secret hidden behind the incident...
It is not difficult to see that the story is full of Qiu Litao's usual evil nature.
Behind all kinds of extremely crazy and extremely unreasonable plots, is his consistent pursuit of the so-called truth and so-called justice.
Is the world itself reasonable?
If not, then the unreasonable movie just tells the truth.
Finally, Sir would like to tell a short story about movies that takes place in reality.
In 2018, at the 12th FIRST Youth Film Festival Awards Ceremony, the host Cui Yongyuan suddenly lowered his head and said when introducing Cao Baoping - Director Cao, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, that thing.
Cao Baoping stood up and bowed in response.
The reason for the apology is because of "She Killed".
"She Kills" is the second part of the "Burning Heart Series" directed by Cao Baoping.
The film started on December 28, 2017 and was completed on May 9, 2018, but after that, because the starring Fan Bingbing was implicated, it immediately disappeared into dust.
Of course, Cui Yongyuan did not have to apologize to Cao Baoping, but he said that perhaps because he had also truly felt the helplessness, pain, and unwillingness of being banished for that kind of work.
In fact, the above is only the tip of the iceberg that we should expect.
For example, adapted from writer A Cheng's novel "Tree King", the fifth-generation director Tian Zhuangzhuang returned to the film industry "Birdsong Hehe".
For example, the second Chinese-language work directed by Chen Chong, like her debut novel "Sky Bath", is about "Ingris" about the young people going to the countryside.
For example, directed by young director Wang Jing (not Hong Kong director Wang Jing), adapted from real people, it was evaluated as another "I Am Not the God of Medicine" "More Than Endless".
For example, "The Piano of Steel" director Zhang Meng's new film, the name has the commotion of urine bubbles, but the story seems to be particularly inspirational and bloody "Gun Waist Flower".
This list, to dig carefully, there is still a long, long - "Trident", "The Eighth Suspect", "Operation Fox Hunt", "Not Romantic", "Knife Tip", "Evil in the Evil" ...
Sir, of course, is not saying that all are good films and must be worth the ticket price.
But we all know it.
For a movie, the worst outcome is not to lose money, not to be scolded.
I didn't even have the opportunity to meet the audience.
Similarly, as an audience, we dare not expect that every time is the ultimate sensory pleasure, the ultimate soul shock.
But the premise of all this must be based on the ordinary.
What is this normality?
Borrowing again from yesterday's "Avatar" article.
Didn't Yang Dechang say that? The movie extended life by 4 times
Whether it is extended or not does not know
Somehow's free from work
Spend dozens of dollars on a ticket
A person sits in a cinema silently watching the light and shadow
It's really one of the few social animals who spends a little money to make themselves relaxed
Isn't it clear enough?
We miss Avatar, we miss the cinema, in essence, nostalgia for the ordinary, ordinary prosperity of the past.
If after "Avatar 2", the cinema really comes with more and more good movies.
Sir believes.
More and more people will enter the cinema.
In the end, in addition to burying our heads in hard work, we also need to look up for a moment.
