I feel that New Year's Day has only passed a few days, and this blink of an eye is about to celebrate the New Year, and the discussion about this year's Spring Festival movies is gradually becoming lively.
Speaking of which, I was worried that this year would be the coldest Spring Festival file, after all, a while ago, the box office of the three popular IP movies "Avatar: The Way of Water" and "Want to See You" and "Puss in Boots 2" were not very good, and they were much lower than expected.
The latest-released "Desperate Husband" has quite the momentum of the latecomers, surpassing "Puss in Boots 2" and squeezing into the top three box office on New Year's Day.
But word of mouth and ratings... "Desperate Master" is not surprisingly the lowest-rated of the four films on New Year's Day.
To be honest, "Avatar: The Way of Water" even if the story of this part is told old-fashioned, it will not prevent this audience from liking this IP, as long as the filter of the first part is thick enough, coupled with the physical permit, many netizens are still quite willing to go to the cinema to contribute to the box office. The same is true of the film version of "Want to See You".
As for "Desperate Master", I see that many netizens have rated this as the worst domestic movie in 2022.
I thought I could watch something happy on the last day of 2022, but I never expected that the funniest part of the audience was watching the other audience leave halfway (ah, this... There is a picture of hhh
After watching all kinds of one-star reviews, don't say, don't say it, you really don't say, more interesting than bad movies must be the comment area of bad movies.
Netizens are really witty in this regard, scolding a lot, it can be seen that the parties really regret choosing to go to the cinema to watch this movie on New Year's Eve.
Seeing that the New Year's Day film market has not picked up as previously predicted, it is difficult not to worry about this year's Spring Festival.
However, in addition to "The Wandering Earth 2", which has been scheduled for the first day of the New Year, there are many blockbusters set after New Year's Day, several of which have quite attractive themes and configurations, and many netizens have rekindled some expectations for this year's Spring Festival.
Let's talk about "The Wandering Earth 2" directed by Guo Fan first~
There is a high box office and high reputation of the first part, and there are still quite a few people looking forward to this one, which belongs to the ecstasy series of sci-fi lovers.
It is estimated that many netizens who have watched the first part wondered online when they saw the cast: Remember the ending of the first part, isn't the Liu Peiqiang played by Wu Jing dead? Why is he still in this one?
The reason is actually very simple, not that he accidentally unlocked any "Resurrection Armor" in the solar system, but that the setting of "The Wandering Earth 2" is a prequel to the first part, so there is nothing unreasonable about Liu Peiqiang still being the protagonist.
As a prequel to the "The Wandering Earth" series, this part is set against the background of the era when plans will be made to build 10,000 planetary engines, telling the story of the "solar crisis" is coming, the world is in danger, and the continuation of human civilization will face great challenges. So human beings decided to start the story of the wandering earth plan, leaving the solar system with the earth and looking for a new home.
From the trailer, you can get more humanistic atmosphere and the kind of tragic core explored by the disaster science fiction theme, and the addition of well-known actors such as Andy Lau, Li Xuejian, and Ning Li is also a new attraction in this part.
When I heard the phrase "the biggest obstacle to survival is never weakness, but arrogance", I felt that I was hit in an instant, and the DNA of the "three-body universe" moved violently.
Sven pinched his fingers, the first film was still in the Spring Festival file in 2019, I don't know if there will be any different feelings when I watch this story a few years later.
As a Liu Cixin sci-fi fan, it is fake to say that I don't expect this one, as long as the script is OK, there should not be much problem, I have been waiting for so many years, I hope not to live up.
Another big hit is "Manjiang Red" directed by Zhang Yimou.
With Zhang Yimou, a golden signboard in the domestic film industry, it is estimated that many of his fans will choose to close their eyes and enter this one.
The lineup of this part is another big pit, not only Shen Teng and Yi Yangqianxi, who cooperated with Zhang Yimou for the first time, but also Zhang Yi, Lei Jiayin, Yue Yunpeng, Guo Jingfei, Pan Binlong, Yu Ailei and many other familiar actors. Looking around, it is another familiar face meeting series.
As for the plot, it is about the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, four years after Yue Fei's death, on the eve of the talks between Qin Hui and the Jin State, the envoy of the Jin State died in the prime minister's residence, and the secret letter he carried disappeared. A small soldier and the deputy commander of the pro-military battalion were coincidentally caught up in this huge conspiracy, looking for the murderer and the truth, a bureau within a bureau, people outside, and the story of the undercurrent of various forces unfolded since then...
For audiences who love to watch suspense themes, this one is estimated to be the first choice for the Spring Festival file.
And the official type label for "Manjiang Hong" is still "plot, comedy, suspense", and I am quite curious about how the comedy part will unfold.
After all, with so many comedians with online acting skills collected at once, Sven Illiterate guessed that this story should not be too "heavy", and it is worth watching.
"Nameless" is one of the surprises of the airborne Spring Festival file, and it is estimated that many netizens did not expect that this one would choose to be released in the Spring Festival file.
Because although it is also a suspense theme, "Nameless" focuses on the historical plot of the Anti-Japanese War period, and the overall tone is still relatively thick.
It tells the story of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Wang puppet government followed Japan to declare war on Britain and the United States, Japan symbolically occupied the entire territory of Shanghai, the Pacific War broke out in full force, and the situation of China's War of Resistance was completely changed.
Like this type of spy war film, it is estimated that before the word of mouth exploded, many netizens were holding a wait-and-see state, and it was generally not the first choice for most netizens for the Spring Festival.
Coupled with the fact that he is a director and screenwriter of Cheng Er, considering his personal style characteristics, "Nameless" is unlikely to be a movie that meets the taste of the public.
Thinking of the "History of the Demise of Romance" he filmed before, it is also a suspense spy war film, and the overall reputation is quite good, but it may be because the style is more literary and artistic films, it belongs to the type that people who love are very much loved, and those who don't like can't get it, and the box office is also applauded.
However, I have to admit that the cast of "Nameless" is also very strong, and it is not "nameless" at all.
In addition to the two starring actors of Tony Leung and Wang Yibo, there are also well-known actors such as Zhou Xun, Huang Lei, Sen Bozhi, Dapeng, Wang Chuanjun, Zhang Jingyi and so on, the tone of this movie was shallowly felt in the previous trailer, and Wang Yibo also interpreted the lines in Shanghai for the first time, which was quite challenging.
At the beginning, several black-and-white character trailer pictures also directly filled the sense of atmosphere, and just looking at the pictures began to automatically make up some stories.
Just Chong is the new work of actor Tony Leung, as well as the scene, this "Nameless" is already worth looking forward to.
The animated movie "Deep Sea" is another big surprise in this year's Spring Festival file.
Netizens who have paid attention to the dynamics of this movie before know how difficult it is to go on the road to the release of "Deep Sea", it can be said that it has been ill-fated from the beginning of the project, during which there have been N more than N online news of the finalization, but they have not been realized, full of various uncertainties.
During the period, it also caused a lot of controversy because of the style of character modeling, in short, some netizens felt that there was a suspicion of ugliness (emmm... The suggestion is that there is no need to rush to conclusions without looking at it, there is no standard system for artistic aesthetics itself, and don't use your own aesthetics as a criterion
Of course, after all, Tian Xiaopeng, the director of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", has been preparing for a new work for seven years, and there are still many people looking forward to it.
This time finally waited for "Deep Sea" to be finalized, many netizens couldn't help but open the microphone and said: Finally, there is no need to be suspended by the patch trailer in the cinema!
Think about the beginning, "Deep Sea" has attracted many Chinese comic fans with just a few concept posters, and the expectations are full.
This style of three-dimensional Chinese ink is also a very pioneering challenge direction in the entire Chinese comic industry, and it can be used as wallpaper at any time, and the "particle ink" technology is also the first of its kind in "Deep Sea".
Looking at the official introduction, it took two years to get the first drawing moving, in order to create an imaginary deep sea, it was really slow work and meticulous work, and the imagination of oriental aesthetics was done to the extreme.
One thing is to say, with the production team of "Journey to the West: The Return of the Great Sage", there is naturally nothing to worry about in terms of audiovisual and dynamic effects.
However, I think that I have watched a lot of national comic movies with beautiful pictures but collapsed plots over the years, and they are almost shadowed... At present, the biggest wish for "Deep Sea" is: the plot does not collapse, the plot does not collapse, the plot does not collapse, and the important thing is said three times!
The adventure setting of the redemption direction itself is quite attractive, I hope this movie that has made Chinese comic fans wait for so many years will not disappoint everyone!
"Exchange Life" starring Lei Jiayin, Zhang Xiaofei, Zhang Youhao, Sha Yi, Liu Mintao, etc. As the only family comedy movie in this year's Spring Festival file, many people think that it will be a box office hit in this year's Spring Festival file.
New Year's Eve, you need to find some emotional outlets, this kind of warm and happy theme is very suitable for the family to watch together, release pressure together, laugh and walk away from the unhappiness of the past year.
Look at the trailer, this is a fantasy story because Xu is willing to change with others, the teenager Zhang Youhao accidentally became his uncle Lei Jiayin, the front foot was driven out of the house by his father Sha Yi Liu Mintao, and the back foot was also dating Zhang Xiaofei.
Director Suren has also filmed a "Time and Space Cohabitation" before, it can be seen that he likes to shoot this fantasy setting, and if the script is online, it should be quite interesting.
"Bear Haunted, Accompany Me "Bear Core" is the happy hometown of children every year, no matter how other movies float and turn, the "Bear Haunted" series is never absent in the Spring Festival every year.
And I didn't find out without inventory, this is already the ninth movie in this series.
Since the release of the first film in 2014, the IP of "Bear Haunted" has been very popular among children, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the longest-lived series of movies in the Spring Festival file (the real Spring Festival file "nail household" hahaha
This year's Xiong Qiang group will be visiting Machine Island, and the character "Bear Mama", who appeared in the "Bear Haunted" cartoon series eight years ago, may appear.
As for how much the box office can rush, it depends on how many parents can be mobilized by the children to watch it together.
In addition to these six, this year's Spring Festival file also has a "Chinese Table Tennis Jedi Strikes Back", directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, starring Deng Chao, Sun Li, Xu Weizhou, Duan Bowen, etc., as well as Wu Jing's cameo.
The plot is adapted from a true story, telling the story of Chinese table tennis fighting back in the face of doubts from the outside world during the downturn.
There is not much problem in terms of subject matter, sports are enthusiastic and inspirational, and if it can be filmed well, it is also attractive. However, in so many movies in the Spring Festival file, there are also some difficulties in trying to get out of the siege.
Now there are some voices on the Internet about this film, but Sven still thinks that we should wait to see the film and then evaluate it~
I also understand why some audiences wear "colored glasses", the "Villain Angel" that won the Golden Broom Award and has been scolded until today was co-directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, and the starring role is also Sun Li, and there is a stacked buff inner taste...
Obviously, filming alone is quite online, and it is like a spell in one. Whether Deng Chao can break the curse of "self-directed and self-acting will lose its level" this time, we may as well take a look at the finished film and then reveal.
At present, for these popular movies, many have predicted the box office, among which the top three are "The Wandering Earth 2", "Manjiang Red" and "Deep Sea".
I don't know if the final result will be similar to the prediction, but it can still be seen, because the film industry has recently picked up, the operating rate of cinemas has gradually returned to the previous level, and the industry is still quite optimistic about this year's Spring Festival.
This year, this atmosphere of immortal fights in all aspects such as lineup and theme is finally a little bit of the past, and in this regard, it is already gratifying.
As for whether anyone will become a dark horse at the box office this year, it is difficult to say, it feels possible, maybe there will be someone who will be cold. Are you ready to watch which one?
Regardless of whether there is a plan to go to the cinema to watch these movies during the Spring Festival, don't forget to do a good job of protection, good health is the most important, Sven and the Daydream editorial office friends wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year~
