Not only that, but around May 1st, there is also fierce competition.

But May 1st is not a particularly large schedule, and the box office capacity is not high.

So far, only two films have exceeded one billion at the box office, namely "Later Us" with 1.361 billion and "Above the Cliff" with 1.191 billion.

Among the remaining movies, there are only 789 million "Your Wedding" with more than 500 million, and "Beijing Meets Seattle: A Love Letter" with 786 million.

Most of the box office of the rest of the films are concentrated in 2300 million, or tens of millions, in other words, there are only 17 films that have historically exceeded 100 million at the box office of May 1st, and 18 films were released this year.

It can be seen that many new films will become cannon fodder, and there are three or two films that may achieve a box office of more than one billion.

So, which movies will be rounded, and which movies will surpass Liu Ruoying's "Later Us" box office record of 1.361 billion? Let's analyze it in detail.

The film types of May 1st can be divided into main theme, mission film, comedy film, romance film, cartoon film, crime film, and horror film.

The main theme is naturally "The King of the Long Sky", "Shocking Rescue" and "Prosecutor Storm", there is only one comedy, crime film, and horror film, "Life Road is Unfamiliar", "Squirrel in the Middle of Water" and "Aoki Robbery".

There are more task films, including "Changsha Nightlife", "Jai Bozan", "Jinggang Spark", "Little Stone to the Countryside" and "Mazhuang Village", except for Zhang Yixing's "Changsha Nightlife", the rest are accompanying the run.

The romance films are "So Many Years" and "Countdown to Love You", and the cartoons are "Guardians of the Universe: Storm Force", "Paradise Valley Adventure", "Pigman Movie Super Racing", "Magic Adventure: Jewel Princess" and "Super Cute Time and Space Baby".

Among these new films, the competitive ones are the main theme and comedy, as well as the romance film.

The chassis of the cartoon is very stable, does not coincide with the audience of other films, and will not sell well, but it can basically guarantee to make money, which can be ignored for the time being.

As for Zhang Yixing's "Changsha Nightlife", this kind of urban propaganda film + love elements are not new, and it is estimated that the final box office is tens of millions.

The two love films "So Many Years" and "Countdown to Say I Love You" are completely scheduled movies, which are to meet the social and recreational attributes of couples, and the box office is about the same as one or two billion.

On the whole, movies that can break a billion at the box office fall on "The King of the Long Sky", "Shocking Rescue", "Prosecutor Storm" and "Life Road Unfamiliar".

"The King of the Long Sky" is unprecedentedly popular, and the number of people who want to see it is far ahead, and it is also the first film with pre-sales exceeding 10 million on the box office list of new films on May 1st, and the total pre-sales of other films are barely half of him.

Combined with the latest trailer of "King of the Long Sky", although it is only 38 seconds, you can see the visual and auditory feast of the movie.

In terms of image language, visual pictures such as stall tail spin and air parking are used to highlight the thrilling effect, and the close-up of Lei Yu's eyes is bloodshot after strengthening this impression.

This kind of picture narration, enriching the character characteristics of the characters with visual effects, and adopting images to let the audience have an immersive sense of immersion, judging from this trailer, "King of the Long Sky" stands.

In terms of sound effects, when Lei Yu was testing the flight, the tense and exciting sound of the fighter spinning, rising, diving, plummeting, and crossing was zoomed in after the camera zoomed in.

As well as the sound of bloodshot eyes, and the sonic boom that finally flew out of the snowy mountains, these sounds are an important part of the movie, and domestic movies are often ignored, but here in "King of the Long Sky", it is well done.

From the perspective of audiovisual language, "The King of the Long Sky" does not have much problem in film technology, and the transmission of Chinese values is not a problem, and after its release, as long as the content is good, "The King of the Long Sky" will inevitably sell well at the box office.

In second place is "Life is Unfamiliar" directed by Yi Xiaoxing.

As the only comedy film in May 1st, in fact, "Life is Unfamiliar" has a great chance of counterattack, because comedy has always been a popular element of box office hits.

In terms of actors, there are Qiao Shan, Ma Li, Chang Yuan, Tian Yu joining, not to mention the overall effect, there should be several laughs on the one-sided comedy joke.

It's just that the story of "Life is Unfamiliar" is more tacky, and the plot is all in the trailer.

The father played by Qiao Shan is not optimistic about his prospective son-in-law Fan Chengcheng, and tries in every possible way to break up his marriage with Zhang Jingyi, wanting Zhang Jingyi to be with rich people Changyuan.

During the period, some ironic things also happened between Qiao Shan and Ma Li, and then a group of people got together to start a funny journey, and the final ending was a happy ending.

This kind of movie is not excellent in terms of script, and it is all supported by jokes and actors.

If the actors' performances are not in place, or there are not enough dense laughs, the box office of "Life is Not Familiar" will not be high.

Because there is less baggage, the audience will have time to think about the quality of the film, and only by letting the audience's attention be attracted by laughter can we win the audience's recognition in the moment.

This is also a big magic weapon for comedy to win at the box office.

Today's audience has long been Maugham for all kinds of funny ways, ordinary laughter is difficult to make them laugh, only novelty can win the audience's laughter, so that you can gain fame and fortune.

So "The Road of Life is Not Familiar" is a dark horse, whether it is a black to the end, on a par with "The King of the Long Sky", or a weak successor, a hasty end, wait and see.

"Shocking Rescue" belongs to the same theme as 2019's "Heroes of Fire".

The latter was released on the August 1st Army Day, cutting 1.706 billion box office, and let Huang Xiaoming and Yin Xiaotian win the best actor and actor respectively.

And "Shocking Rescue" collides with it, it is basically impossible to copy the miracle of "Heroes of Fire", coupled with the lack of publicity, no big-name stars, very sadistic arrangement, and the final box office is about 200 million or 300 million.

For the audience, the biggest selling point of "Prosecutor" is not Huang Jingyu, but director Mak Zhaohui.

It's just that the film, like "The Cloister Pavilion", withdrew many times, and finally completely released in December last year, and chose to return after the market picked up this year.

According to the box office results of movies starring Huang Jingyu in the past, the final box office of "Prosecutor Storm" will not be too high, estimated to be about 200 million or 300 million.

On the whole, May 1st seems to have many films, but in fact, there are only three real strengths: "The King of the Long Sky", "Life Road Unfamiliar" and "Procuratorial Storm".

If these three movies have a bad reputation, it is good for "Slam Dunk", and with the addition of May 1st in the past few days, it may not be impossible for the box office to approach or exceed "Journey to the Bell Buds".

If "The King of the Long Sky", "Life Road is Unfamiliar" and "Prosecutor Storm" have one or two big hits, then it is very likely that another 1 billion-level film will appear in the May 1st program, becoming the third movie in the May 1st program to break one billion.
