On April 18, a number of blockbusters released on May 1st have officially opened box office pre-sales. This year's May Day schedule is very lively, and many types of movies are released. We might as well do a preview of theatrical movies.
At present, the best box office pre-sales results are "The King of the Long Sky" starring actors such as Wang Yibo, Hu Jun and Zhou Dongyu. The film's pre-sales results are far ahead, for at least two reasons. The first point is that fans are "visible to the naked eye", the film belongs to a typical special effects blockbuster, fighter type, and countless hard points. Second, Wang Yibo has gained very good fan recognition with the movie "Nameless", and the "King of the Long Sky" starring him is also particularly trustworthy.
Lei Yu (played by Wang Yibo) and other excellent pilots officially became test pilots after rigorous selection, and they participated in the test flight of the latest fighter under the leadership of captain Zhang Ting (played by Hu Jun). Above the heights, the engine suddenly stopped or even caught fire, the plane lost control ... They fought against death again and again, just to get the most extreme data. As the delivery date of the fighters approaches, the difficulty of the mission gradually escalates, can they triumph...
Just like the story outline of the film, "King of the Long Sky" belongs to typical fighter content, typical sky "martial arts". On the big screen of the theater, these hard-looking content is the most attractive to fans. It is especially commendable that Wang Yibo showed a very good level of acting skills in the trailer of "The King of the Long Sky", this is a young actor with a drama in his heart, and there is a reason why the theatrical movie box office pre-sales he starred in.
At present, there are four movies that can compete with "King of the Long Sky". The strongest competition is the movie "Life is Unfamiliar" directed by Yi Xiaoxing. Starring Qiao Shan, Fan Chengcheng, Ma Li and Zhang Jingyi, the film tells the story of his father-in-law and son-in-law-to-be:
A family of four unexpectedly embarked on a truck journey with laughter and tears! Truck driver Zhou Donghai (played by Qiao Shan) is very optimistic about the prospective son-in-law Wan Yifan (played by Fan Chengcheng), in order to please the future father-in-law, in case the harder the fan works, the more "overturned", the mother-in-law Huo Meimei (played by Ma Li) and daughter Zhou Weiyu (played by Zhang Jingyi) also worked hard to mediate the pair of wronged families. In case of constant unluck, can he pass the various tests of his future father-in-law Zhou Donghai during the journey...
This kind of father-in-law and son-in-law story is very easy to get the comedy resonance of fans. Why "comedic vibes"? Because the story of the father-in-law and the prospective son-in-law is difficult to realistically handle, once realistic, often in the face of bride price, dowry and other unpleasant content, and between the father-in-law and the prospective son-in-law, in the realistic work, there is really laughter than no laughter. On the contrary, it is handled in a comedic way, which can make everyone laugh.
Fan Chengcheng's performance is also remarkable. In the earlier theatrical movie "Great Night", Fan Chengcheng has no idol baggage and dares to blacken his performance, and this kind of open-minded young actor can obviously get more recognition from fans. This time comedy such as "Life is Not Familiar", Xiao Fan is estimated to be more open.
The second highly competitive work is "So Many Years", starring Zhang Xincheng and Sun Qian, a romance film. Don't underestimate romance movies! This is the most likely work to become a dark horse in the May Day schedule. In the early years, during the May 1st schedule, romance films could become dark horses, and they all went 1 billion yuan at the box office. This time's "So Many Years", the content of "son preference" may win the recognition of a large number of female fans:
Have you ever imagined a reunion with your ex after a long absence? Will you hold tight, or run away? Chen Jianxia (played by Sun Qian), a girl who has lived in a patriarchal environment since she was a child, met the rebellious but kind Hun boy Li Ran (played by Zhang Xincheng) in Zhenhua Middle School, and he became the only light in Chen Jianxia's life. They redeem each other, but regret separation. Years later, at the moment of reunion, I realized that I thought I was in love with you repeatedly, and it turned out that I have never stopped loving you.
The third highly competitive work is the disaster rescue movie "Shocking Rescue", starring Du Jiang, Wang Qianyuan, Tong Liya, Han Xue and other actors. The film is directed by Peng Shun and tells the story of fire rescue. This movie, the main focus is the big scene, hard watch, in terms of content, is a typical main theme, positive energy, for the fire heroes enthusiastically singing. This kind of movie, with a fixed audience, will not be low at the box office.
The fourth highly competitive work is "Prosecutor Fengyun" written and directed by Mak Zhaohui, starring actors such as Huang Jingyu, Bai Baihe, Wang Likun, Wang Qianyuan, Feng Shaofeng and Bao Bell. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a movie version of "Crazy":
University professor Xia Wei (played by Wang Likun) is suspected of intentional homicide, public opinion fermentation is out of control, and pressure from many parties is pouring in. As prosecutor Li Rui (played by Huang Jingyu) and colleague Zhang Youcheng (played by Wang Qianyuan) reviewed the case, it was found that the rich businessman Chen Xin (played by Bao Bell) who did many evils was closely related to this case, and an old case buried for many years was involved... Intentional homicide, rape, and collusion between officials and businessmen are intertwined, and everyone is forced to be involved in this whirlpool of fate. Li Rui and Xia Wei's defense lawyer Tong Yuchen (played by Bai Baihe) had a fierce confrontation in the courtroom, why was Xia Wei silent? What secrets does her husband Hong Junshan (played by Feng Shaofeng) hide? Good and evil enemies are difficult to distinguish, and unforeseen crises await everyone...
It is worth noting that Baubert plays the villain in the film. This actor, in playing the villain, is really the only one of the scorpions. "Prosecutor's Storm", which can be called the movie version of "Crazy", Baoqi will become one of the biggest dark horses in the schedule. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
