Find everyone's spiritual nook in the movie
In the past month, with the holding of the Shanghai Film Festival and the gradual popularity of the summer file, a large number of domestic new films have been exposed one after another.
Classic sequels, crime suspense, martial arts actions, literary and artistic love.... As well as the cooperation of many stars and big directors, different types of new projects really attract attention.
On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, while everyone went to the theater to watch the latest movies, Xiao Wan also made a simple summary and preview of a batch of Chinese films to be screened in the future.
These films are either newly exposed or officially announced for the first time, and Xiaowan has not been covered too much in his previous film list, so they are packaged together today~
《Legend》
Release year: 2024
Director: Tang Jili
Starring: Jackie Chan / Zhang Yixing / Gu Li Naza / Li Zhiting / Li Chen
In 2005, Jackie Chan and Kim Hee-sun co-starred in the fantasy romance film "Myth", which tells a poignant and moving love from the perspective of "crossing", which is an unforgettable memory for many audiences.
Now that the second part of "Myth" has been launched, "Legend", which is scheduled to be released in 2024, is the orthodox sequel to "Myth", and Xiao Wanlayer did a follow-up when the script of the film was established→ "18 years later, "Myth 2" is finally coming".
"Legend" continues the fantasy crossing world view of the previous work, telling the story of archaeologist Professor Chen (played by Jackie Chan) who accidentally found a piece of jade during a glacier expedition, and this jade pei can actually connect dreams and reality, so a love spanning thousands of years unfolds...

"Legend" is still the gold medal combination of director Tang Jili + starring Jackie Chan (the tenth cooperation between the two), and the heroine is replaced by Guli Naza, in addition, Zhang Yixing and Li Zhiting will also cooperate with Jackie Chan again after "Kung Fu Yoga".
This scene in "Dragon Horse Spirit" is related to "Legend"
The film exposed the first poster and the first trailer (not released online) during the last film festival, and Director Tang also revealed that the crew will use AI and other technologies to recreate 27-year-old Jackie Chan in the film. I hope that this "Legend" can really continue the "myth" of the previous work
"Boyhood"
Screening Date: August 17, 2023
Director: Chen Kaige
Starring: Liu Haoran / Chen Feiyu / Zhang Xueying / Wen Qi
In this list, the closest to us is "Boyhood".
This youth drama directed by Chen Kaige and starring Liu Haoran, Chen Feiyu, Wen Qi and other new-generation actors has been scheduled to be released on August 17 this year.
The original name of the film is "Blossom in the Dust", which tells the story of several teenagers who still choose to fight fate after experiencing various hardships and confusion during the critical period of growth, and finally let their lives "blossom in the dust".
Judging from the trailer released, the film restores the atmosphere and era atmosphere of Beijing, and each character has a personality, which makes us have infinite reverie about the fate of these teenagers.
Director Chen Kaige, who once wrote the classic autobiography "Young Kaigo", directed this new film with personal youth memories, are you looking forward to it?
"There is no hot pot that cannot be solved"
Release year: 2024
Director: Ding Sheng
Starring: Yang Mi / Yu Qian / Tian Yu / Yu Ailei
Following "Hot Pot Heroes", another suspenseful crime movie with the theme of hot pot is expected to meet us next year.
"There is no hot pot that cannot be solved" tells the story of a game in the middle, four people who do not know each other share the loot in the background, and are accidentally involved in a murder case, under the stimulation of churning hot pot and money, hidden unknown greed and deception...
As director Ding Sheng's latest work, "There Is No Hot Pot That Cannot Be Solved" not only retains the layers of reversals in "Rescue Mr. Wu", but also sees the various discussions about human nature in "The Soldier".
Coupled with the joining of Yang Mi, Yu Qian, Tian Yu, etc., this movie that takes the audience into the "whirlpool of sharing the spoils" in the name of hot pot must have a very interesting story.
And what mysteries and reversals are hidden in the middle of the game in the back of this mantis cicada catcher, it will only be known in theaters after its release.
"Kashmir Princess"
Release year: 2025
Director: Liu Weiqiang
Starring: Wu Jing (temporary)
Director Liu Weiqiang's "Kashmir Princess", another big-budget new film after "The Great Cause of Building an Army", will focus on a thrilling real history in the diplomatic process of New China - the Kashmir Princess incident.
On April 11, 1955, Premier Zhou Enlai originally took the "Kashmir Princess" plane from Hong Kong, China, to Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, to attend the Bandung Conference.
During a layover at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Airport, an airport cleaner was bribed by agents to carry the bomb on a plane. The plane later exploded as it approached the coast of Indonesia, killing 11 passengers and 5 crew members.
Because Zhou Enlai and his entourage temporarily changed their route and passed by the air crash, the assassination operation of the special agents was declared a failure.
The movie version of "Kashmir Princess" is adapted from this assassination that shook the world, although it is the main theme, it will be made into an action spy blockbuster, and the script is currently being polished.
In addition to director Liu Weiqiang, who is good at shooting big scenes, Wu Jing is reported to have joined "Kashmir Princess", and the follow-up lineup is expected.
"Stop and Go"
Release year: 2024
Director: Long Fei
Starring: Hu Ge / Gao Yuanyuan / Yue Hong / Zhou Yemang / Jin Jing
Hu Ge and Gao Yuanyuan co-starred in romantic comedies, who is not moved by such a combination?
The newly exposed movie "Stop and Go" tells the story of Wu Di (played by Hu Ge), a literary and artistic youth in Beipiao, who returned to his hometown "snail" due to both disappointment at work.
However, by chance, he met his high school classmate Feng Liuliu (Gao Yuanyuan), and then his life took an unexpected turn.
The story of a frustrated town young man returning home and encountering love by chance has quite a sense of déjà vu of Woody Allen's romance film.
The producers of this film have hatched such an excellent debut as "The Myth of Love", and I hope that this time, "Stop and Go", also directed by a new director, can replicate the success of the previous work.
"Lion Boy 2"
Release year: 2024
Director: Sun Haipeng
The second part of "Lion Boy" is finally officially announced for 2024!
"Lion Boy 2" will continue to tell the growth process of young Ajuan, continuing the Easter eggs of the previous film, and the background of the story extends from Lingnan to Shanghai.
In the magic capital where every inch of land is expensive, Ajuan continues to adhere to her dream of lion dance while working hard, and he will lead the lion team to continue to create miracles, fearless of difficulties and ridicule.
"Lion Boy" was released in 2021 and has a good reputation (Douban 8.3 points), not only loved by domestic audiences, but also famous after its release in Japan, and animation directors such as Makoto Shinkai and Yasuhiro Irie have praised this unique style of Chinese anime.
This time, "Lion Boy 2" will continue to be rooted in traditional culture on the basis of the previous work, and strive to break through the ceiling of national comics again.
At present, the film is in intensive production, I hope to see Ajuan's figure in the summer of 2024!
"Miscalculation"
Release year: 2024
Director: Huang Zihuan
Starring: Donnie Yen
Donnie Yen, who has just shined in "Fast Chase 4", will challenge a new role again in the new work "Misjudgment", in which Donnie Yen will play the role of a prosecutor for the first time, walking between good and evil.
"Miscarriage of Justice" tells the story of young Ma Zhijie who was framed by a criminal syndicate for drug trafficking, he was prosecuted by the Hong Kong Department of Justice, and prosecutor Guo Zihao tried to restore the truth at the cost of his career and life.
"Misjudgment" is a "new iteration" of previous legal genre films, presumably inspired by the success of "Poisonous Tongue Lawyer", and the starring Donnie Yen has many blockbusters such as "Fuse 2" and "Ip Man 5" waiting to be released in 2024.
In this regard, Donnie Yen himself also asked the audience on social media: "Which do you want me to shoot first?" It seems that this kung fu superstar, who is about to turn 60, does not have the slightest appearance of wanting to retire.
"The Tip of the Knife"
Release year: 2023
Director: Gao Qunshu
Starring: Zhang Yi / Lang Yueting / Huang Zhizhong
Director Gao Qunshu, who has directed "The Wind" and "Detective Hunter Zhang", also appeared at this year's Shanghai Film Festival with his new film "Knife Tip".
Starring Zhang Yi, Lang Yueting and Huang Zhizhong, the film tells the story of Nanjing in 1940, when the undercurrents of various forces were surging, and Jin Shenshui, who was carrying family feuds, discovered the tragic "Spring Thunder Plan" of the Japanese army in the process of self-preservation.
In order to let more people survive, Jin Shenshui began a plan to swim on the tip of the knife...
"Knife Tip" is also adapted from the novel of the same name by the Mai family, and a new trailer was exposed during the film festival, waiting for the official announcement.
It is reported that "The Tip of the Knife" has been completed as early as 2018, and has been making modifications and adjustments over the years, which can be said to be a hardcore movie that has been "dusty" for many years. Audiences who like spy movies can look forward to it.
"Treasure Land in front of the door"
Release year: 2023
Director: Xu Haofeng / Xu Junfeng
Starring: Xiang Zuo / Guo Biting / An Zhijie / Tang Shiyi
The famous martial arts film director Xu Haofeng's latest work "Treasure Land in front of the Door" has finally released new developments recently.
The film is co-directed by Xu Haofeng and his younger brother Xu Junfeng, and the story is set in Tianjin in 1920.
The old curator of a martial arts hall passed away, and his eldest disciple (played by An Zhijie) and his own son (played by Xiang Zuo) had a dispute over the replacement of the martial arts hall, and both intended to use force to make the other submit.
Thanks to the joining of Xiang Zuo and An Zhijie, two martial arts actors, the action scenes of "Treasure Land in front of the Door" are dense, and the fists are to the flesh, which feels real.
The male protagonist Xiang Zuo, who is also a producer, almost fights from beginning to end, taking turns with knives, guns and clubs, fully showing the kung fu family under Director Xu's lens.
Guo Biting, who has not appeared in movies for a long time since her marriage, also plays an important role in the film, which is also the first time that Xiang Zuo and Guo Biting have appeared on the big screen as a "husband and wife".
In March 2022, "Treasure Land in front of the Door", which has been less exposed after the completion of filming, finally had its first screening at the just-concluded Shanghai Film Festival.
Next, audiences who like martial arts films can pay attention to the release information of the film (as for the "Wang Zuxian" in the pilot trailer, it will really not be revealed until the release).
"Do Not Disturb 3"
Release year: 2024
Director: Feng Xiaogang
Starring: Ge You / Shu Qi / Fan Wei / Yao Chen
After 13 years, Feng Xiaogang's blockbuster comedy "Do Not Disturb" series ushered in the latest sequel "Do Not Disturb 3", which has started this week, and the two leading actors Ge You and Shu Qi both returned.
The story this time is very close to the current topic, with the era of artificial intelligence in 2031 as the background, telling the story of Qin Fen's customization of an AI version of Xiaoxiao to solve the pain of longing in different places, and has vague emotions with it, and the return of Zhen Xiaoxiao puts him in a dilemma...
"Do Not Disturb 3" will write the end of the love story of Qin Fen, and the series has gone through 15 years from 2008 to now, I don't know what humorous bridges and classic quotes the new sequel will contribute.
As the haze of the epidemic dissipates, although the domestic film market still needs to "break the game", at least it has greatly improved in terms of setting pace and diverse genres.
I hope that these 10 domestic films with different styles will release more new materials and finalize the schedule as soon as possible.
