Okay, another particularly hard week.
No way, in order to welcome a small long holiday, we can only come to a big work week, which is a kind of conservation law.
And the May 1st file is coming, there are really many new films in theaters this week! There is a feeling that I have endured for a long time and waited for this week to make it big.
Of course, it's hard to say whether you can come to the big one, but so many new theatrical films are going to be released, at least it's very lively, and this is no problem.
I feel like after the North Film Festival, I'm going to blitz a little for a day or two. And among them, which is the new film of the May 1st theater that you are interested in?
At the same time, the weekly movie word-of-mouth list from Douban movies has also been updated, although there are not so many, but there are still a few to pay attention to.
You can feel it in a while.
First of all, let's start paying attention to May 1st gear.
"King of the Long Sky"
April 28
The number one blockbuster in May 1st, at least the lineup configuration is a blockbuster configuration, the lineup is very strong, and the publicity is also very large. Compared with several other May 1st films, it seems to be the highest one in terms of investment magnitude.
This film focuses on the Air Force, more precisely, the story of test pilots, which is quite a fresh angle, and domestic films have not seen much involvement in this field in the past.
Therefore, the synopsis from the official Douban can also be understood:
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...
《Changsha Nightlife》
April 28
The first thing that attracted me to this movie was its title, and I felt that it was also an interesting topic. I remember watching a domestic variety show a while ago, and I also talked about the nightlife of Changsha, which felt that it was a particularly pyrotechnic, and at the same time, it was also a city with a very story.
And this "Changsha Nightlife" should be a film about Changsha's night and love, as well as food bar.
The synopsis from Douban can also be understood:
The story takes place on a wonderful night in Changsha. Night owl Jing Weiwei (played by Yin Fang) met He Xixi (played by Zhang Jingyi), who will leave his hometown tomorrow morning, in a bookstore, and the two met to go on a night trip. He Xixi talked about his half-brother, stand-up comedian He An (played by Zhang Yixing), just at tonight's performance, He An's father (played by Luo Gang) appeared in the audience, and the two broke up unhappily.
On the other side, Chen Qingzhi (played by Bai Yufan), Liang Baoqi (played by Zhou Siyu), and Lao Xie (played by Wu Jun) guarded the Ferris wheel, and they lamented that it was not easy to work while enjoying the night view. The night is deeper, and this night is also the last time that the Internet celebrity food stall owner Sister Li (played by Su Yan) will make powder, and she decided to let her apprentice Brother Xu (played by Wu Haochen) take over and continue to run the food stall. As the night draws to a close, a group of people sit together in a food stall and meet, love, stay, leave, reconcile, reunite, all in this city, and everyone finds a reason to love it deeply.
From the lineup setting, it is also a young and energetic main player, and you can also feel it when you look back.
"So Many Years"
April 28
Another romance film of the May 1st file, I watch Douban want to watch the number of people is quite high, it is estimated that the lineup is more attractive.
As soon as I looked at this lineup configuration, plus the synopsis, I guessed that it should be a romance film of light, and when I clicked on the poster, it was.
It's basically a familiar taste.
The synopsis from Douban can also be understood:
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.
Friends who like light to produce youth romance movies can also pay attention to.
"Life is not familiar"
April 28
There is a new film for the beast, and it is still his best comedy. Since the box office performance of the previous "King of Bath" was quite good, the box office performance of this "Life Road is Not Familiar" has also been further upgraded.
Looking at the setting, it should be the mode of road comedy, and it can be regarded as a classic comedy mode.
The synopsis from Douban can also be understood:

"Procuratorial Storm"
April 29
The new crime film directed by Mak Zhaohui focuses on the prosecutor this time, and Huang Jingyu and Bai Baihe co-starred. It seems that the introduction is still an adaptation of a real event, yes.
The characteristic of Hong Kong directors is probably that they can package this relatively positive theme into a more typed way.
The synopsis from Douban can also be understood:
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 pulled out... 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...
Feel it.
"Countdown to Love You"
April 28
I don't know why there are so many romance films in the May Day show, it seems like a Valentine's Day schedule, anyway, I think that May Day is a lazy couple watching movies at home, you can also do it.
This fantasy romance film co-starring Chen Feiyu and Zhou Ye, will you want to pay attention to it?
The synopsis from Douban can also be understood:
I believe that true love will eventually meet, believe that a lover will eventually become a dependent, and your and my love agreement will immediately begin to count down. Gu Yuxuan (played by Chen Feiyu) and Han Shuyan (played by Zhou Ye) met and got acquainted by chance when they were children, but unfortunately missed it. After growing up, the two met again and fell in love like fate, but after experiencing the happiness and sweetness of love, they had to face the test of fate together. The gears of time begin to turn, can they create miracles with love?
Awesome.

Peng Shun has another disaster film, before the Peng brothers directed a "Escape", which is also a genre film related to fire and fire rescue crews.
He is also a director who is passionate about this topic.

————————————————
At the same time, the weekly Douban word-of-mouth list can also be understood. Let's take a look at what new films are on the list this week.
Word of mouth list of the week
1. "Slam Dunk"
You see, the movie version of "Slam Dunk" really reached the top, which is no surprise, Douban 9.0 points, which can be regarded as a surprise for recent Douban cinema films.
I also saw some controversial voices, anyway, let's take what you need. I love this movie very much, it is very good to watch, hot-blooded, and exciting.
After reading it, I want to watch that kind again.
2. "Unknown Sister"
The film was shortlisted for last year's Sundance Film Festival and is a documentary on women's themes. The Douban score is really high, and interested friends can also pay attention to it.
The plot synopsis from Douban is understood:
In the spring of 1972, police raided an apartment on Chicago's South Side and arrested seven women. They were all affiliated with a clandestine abortion organization called Jane, which provided safe, affordable underground services through pseudonyms, disguises, and safe houses for women who were subject to abortion bans at the time. In the face of harassment by the mafia, the church and the government, the Jane sisters have shown unparalleled courage and compassion for the women most in need. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2022 and was shortlisted for the main competition for documentary films in the United States.
4. "Love is Delicious"
After all, the popularity and reputation of the drama version are still there, so the movie version has always maintained a good evaluation, even if the box office of this film is a hit, I have written one before, talking about this movie, I feel that it is not so friendly to non-drama audiences like me, but friends who like dramas can still pay attention.
8. "Falcon Lake"
Last year's Cannes Director's Fortnight's film, the evaluation seems to be okay, the story of the teenager's growth, but with fantasy elements, this is a very broken way to break the genre.
The plot synopsis from Douban is as follows:
Fourteen-year-old Bastian came to the lake with his parents for a vacation, and what awaited him was a summer day where dreams and nightmares coexisted.
Living in the same room is sixteen-year-old Coyi, who exudes the hormones of rebellious youth. She loves to have fun, play ghosts, and is afraid of loneliness, teaching him to drink and smoke, and inviting him to dance parties. Under her guidance, he gradually stepped out of his comfort zone as a good child and greeted the bar mitzvah under the condition of suffering and loss. Acting and directing, Salle Le Pen's first work shows more than the sweetness, anxiety and doubt of the first opening of youthful Ai Dou; The deep reflection of the lake light, the indistinguishable legend of the sunken corpse, and the real-like opening ending add a mysterious and eerie color to the imprint of summer growth.
10. "Goodbye, My Soul Mate"
In fact, it is the Korean version of "July and Ansheng", the plot is similar, but it is remade in the way of a Korean-style youth film, and the two leading actors Kim Do-mi and Jeon Suni are also quite popular, and if you like this story, you can also watch the re-interpretation of Korean filmmakers.
The plot synopsis from Douban is as follows:
The two girls, born in 1988, smiled and Ha Eun spent their childhood together, and experienced a rather tortuous relationship in the process of growing into adults. The peaceful world of the two appeared in their 10s, as Ha Eun and classmate Zhenyu began their first love, and there was a slight crack. Free-spirited smiles go to the city to pursue an adventurous life, Ha Eun stays in his hometown to live a stable life, and the two drift apart...
Probably, that's it.
Interested friends, you can still find the film to see, perhaps, there will be a surprise.
Finally, it is routine to attach a complete list of the Douban word-of-mouth list for a week:
