Recently, the movie industry has really gone crazy!
According to the latest data released by Wanda Film Co., Ltd., Wanda Film's operating performance in the first half of 2023 successfully turned into a profit.
The reason why the film industry has reversed the wind, in addition to consumer factors, is that the popularity of the movie itself remains high!
In the first half of the year, a number of popular movies attracted countless moviegoers.
As soon as Manjiang Hong at the beginning of the year was launched, it received a warm response, which once caused a craze to beat Qin Yue, and even Yue Fei Temple changed its cold appearance in the past.
After that, many word-of-mouth movies such as "The Wandering Earth 2", "Journey to the Bell Bud" and "Spider-Man" were launched one after another.
Recently launched "Disappearing Her", which itself has a certain flow theme, and after being remade into a movie, its popularity will naturally not be bad.
Coupled with the fact that the protagonists of the movie are all acting skills, and the script and actors are highly coordinated, Chen Sicheng can be said to have made a lot of money this time.
The excellent data in the first half of the year made a good start for 2023, and the second half of the year is said to be a number of high-production movies online, which can be described as a fight between immortals.
The editor will introduce you to the eight blockbusters that everyone is most looking forward to!
Let's take a look at which one has the most annual hit potential!
Drug Sweep 3: People in the End of the World
The first most anticipated movie released in the second half of the year is, of course, "Drug Sweep 3".
This movie is scheduled to be released on July 6 this year, which can be described as the first big-budget movie in the summer vacation!
I believe everyone has heard of the "Anti-Drug" series, which can be described as one of the most outstanding police and bandit action movie IPs in Hong Kong films.
In 2013, "Drug Sweep 1" quickly aroused heated discussions after it was launched, and the super cast coupled with the strength of director Chen Musheng overwhelmed the formation, and it was difficult for this film to explode.
After filming this movie, director Chen Musheng's health became worse and worse, and Director Chen died in August 2020.
Unfortunately, Chen Musheng was unable to continue directing the anti-drug series, and the director of "Anti-Drug 2" was replaced by Qiu Litao.
Many friends who have watched "Drug Sweep 2" know that the only thing it has in common with the first part is that the protagonist Gu Tianle has not changed, and the other partners, including the script, are all brand new.
Those friends who went to the sequel to "Drug Sweep 1" could not help but be a little disappointed.
Now "Anti-Drug 3" is online again, this time still directed by director Qiu Litao, and the newly joined Kwok Fucheng has opened a new copy with the old protagonists.
This time, it is said that the brotherhood and undercover elements have been upgraded, and the production, lineup, script, etc. have been upgraded in an all-round way, and the producers also hope to bring an extraordinary audiovisual experience to the audience this time.
The editor's expectations for this drama are still quite high, after all, the well-known Hong Kong star lineup itself has a strong appeal.
In an octagonal cage
To say that the most popular publicity among domestic films in the second half of the year can be described as Wang Baoqiang's "In the Octagon Cage". This is the second film directed by Wang Baoqiang.
In 2016, after Wang Baoqiang's debut film "Big Trouble Tianzhu" was released, it received numerous bad reviews, and was even awarded the Golden Broom Award.
In the face of such an embarrassing award, Wang Baoqiang did not evade, but generously came to the stage to accept the award.
At the award ceremony, Wang Baoqiang calmly faced his failure and admitted that he owed the audience a good movie.
Today, he has reappeared in the public eye with his new work.
This realistic film adapted from the real children of "Daliangshan" has a certain social significance in itself.
In the movie, the protagonist leads a group of children from the mountains to try to break the shackles of fate by practicing martial arts.
Although this film must have some slots, it is a qualitative progress for Wang Baoqiang.
Compared with blindly following the footsteps of successful people before, now he has obviously found his own production route.
In this regard, the audience has also expressed their willingness to support this new work.
The film will be officially released in cinemas on July 8, and we look forward to watching this passionate inspirational film with everyone in the cinema
Chang'an 30,000 li
To say that in the national comic movie, the most outstanding production is the chasing light animation.
As the light of national comics, Chasing Light Animation has launched many popular movies in recent years, and the animation special effects of each one have been very good.
And "Chang'an 30,000 Li", released on July 8 this year, has briefly appeared in the Easter egg of "Yang Jian" last year, and many people are attracted by its unique theme.
This time, the chasing light animation focused on the Tang Dynasty.
The entire film, with Gao Shi and Li Bai as the protagonists, depicts the scene of the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
Among them, the most masterful passages are "Will Enter the Wine" and the section where Gao Shi kills the enemy, which not only satisfies our beautiful fantasy of poetry, but also brings a very shocking visual feast.
Such a talented poet, but in the entire historical process, it is only a flash in the pan of less than a hundred years, but it can leave a strong mark in the long historical years.
So wonderful, it is no wonder that Chinese has always had inexplicable feelings for Chang'an and Li Bai.
"30,000 Li of Chang'an" not only depicts the poetic charm of the ancient literati and inkers, but also shows the years of destruction of the war sword.
The script problem that has been criticized before, Chasing Light Animation has also put a lot of effort into it this time.
But the difficulty is that Li Bai in everyone's heart is unique and different, how to model and show, for chasing light is not a small problem.
This time, chasing light animation launched a big challenge, extending the length of anime movies to 168 minutes for the first time.
I hope that "Chang'an 30,000 Li" can bring you a new round of visual benefits and story experience, so that everyone can feel the improvement and progress of Chinese animation again!
Mission Impossible 7: Fatal Reckoning (Part I)
The "Mission Impossible" series can be described as an outlier in the Hollywood film market.
It changes the production style of Hollywood movies in the past, and the production cycle of each film is very long, and the production level is also very sophisticated, which is rare in a series of movies.
Coupled with the dedicated interpretation of starring Tom and strong box office appeal, the "Mission Impossible" series has always had a high reputation in the hearts of the audience.
Tom, who is now nearly sixty years old, starred in "Mission Impossible 7" again, and many people were impressed by Tom's professionalism.
It is said that in the filming of the seventh film, Tom did not reduce the difficulty of shooting because of his age, but challenged more exciting action shooting.
Although fans have long known that Tom's action stunts are becoming more and more dangerous every time, and he always insists on going into battle in person.
But from the shooting footage of this film, it is not difficult to see that the stunt danger this time is far higher than we thought!
Especially the section of rapid flight in the air, although Tom explained many times that they have been training behind the scenes for many years.
However, the director of the "Mission Impossible" series still pointed out that this action stunt is completely playing with life!
Although the picture of Tom flying close to the rock in the film is beautiful, the actors and crew are in fear of the unknown in the actual shooting, for fear that an accident will happen in the next second.
"Mission Impossible 7" will be launched in the mainland on July 14, only two days later than the North American side, which shows that the filmmaker's action is also very fast.
With such excellent production and dedicated acting skills, the editor feels that there will be no mistake in believing in Tom!
Tea ah two middle school
Compared with the other seven big IP, big investment, and big production movies, "Tea Ah Two Middle School" seems a little out of place.
Despite this, many fans of "Tea Ah No. 2 Middle School" still expressed their willingness to support.
The name of "Cha Ah 2 Middle School" is taken from the original place name Cha Ah Chong in Changchun, and the school is based on the Affiliated Middle School of Northeast Normal University.
The film mainly tells about the campus life of the post-80s generation, from the valuable friendship between classmates to the teacher's teachings, this scene is all shown through some humorous scene dialogues.
I believe that audiences who have watched the "Tea Ah No. 2 Middle School" series will be amused by it, and they can also reminisce about their school time from some scenes from time to time.
But in the summer file where such a good film gathers, the editor should be conservative about the box office of Cha Ah No. 2.
The first part of Fengshen
Judging from the name, it is not difficult to guess that "The First Part of Fengshen " is another movie adapted from "Fengshen Romance".
In recent years, "Romance of the Gods" does not know how many times it has been changed by the devil.
Audiences have always been skeptical of such movies, and can this "Fengshen Part 1" change the stereotype of the audience?
The director of "The First Part of Fengshen " this time is the benchmark figure of the domestic fantasy film industry - Wuershan, and many excellent fantasy movies are from him.
The actors who starred in this movie are also excellent, starring powerful actors such as Huang Bo, Li Xuejian, Fei Xiang, etc., which is equivalent to guaranteeing the quality of the film.
In addition, the crew also adopted a global audition model to recruit young actors with aura and strength as much as possible, and created a Fengshen Performing Arts Training Camp for them.
Such a bold use of corners also adds a lot of highlights to this movie.
According to director Wuershan himself, the shooting cycle took nearly two years from training the actors to actually completing the shooting.
Such a meticulous and responsible production also whetted the audience's appetite.
Classical Chinese mythology has appeared in the dreams of each of us, in fact, everyone hopes that someone can successfully express the "Romance of the Gods".
Therefore, after understanding the creation process of "The First Part of Fengsheng", everyone is looking forward to the final answer sheet handed over by the film party on July 20.
However, judging from some of the promotional videos currently broadcast, everyone is more complaining than praising the scene.
The movie special effects that were seen through at a glance chilled the hearts of many fans.
It seems that the producers are still a long way from success.
Super family
"Super Family" is the latest movie launched by Happy Twist, and after experiencing a withdrawal storm, this film will meet you on July 21.
This time, Shen Teng changed the style of having few scenes in the past and played the male second villain Beggarkov.
The main creative team this time is no stranger to everyone.
The director is still the familiar Song Yang, who is already an old partner with Shen Teng and Allen.
In the previous cooperation "Iron Fist of Shame", the box office accumulated as high as 2.213 billion yuan, winning the first place in the box office of the National Day file that year!
Coupled with the fact that Happy Twist this time is based on excellence in serving the Tao, especially the villain image played by Shen Teng, it is impressive.
With outstanding blonde hair back, gold teeth and hooked nose, it is said that Shen Teng takes 4 hours to shoot makeup every day!
Although the overall texture of the film is lacking, there is Shen Teng's popularity, and the editor believes that the box office will not be too bad.
Warm
As a new work directed by Dapeng, this film still continues the familiar routine of Chinese film production - powerful actor Huang Bo + traffic student Wang Yibo.
Many netizens said that Wang Yibo could be said to have found the right script this time.
Because the film "Warm" is exactly about the street dance teenager, which itself is very close to Wang Yibo's image positioning and personal expertise.
In the film, Wang Yibo's cool and handsome dance can be described as a major selling point of this film!
Although street dance itself is a niche movie theme, the editor believes that with Huang Bo's strength interpretation and Wang Yibo's dance foundation, it is not impossible for this film to get a big hit.
But if you want to PK with other high-level films, director Dapeng still has to work the production level of the film.
end
We can see that in July, all kinds of popular movies emerge one after another, with a variety of themes such as police and bandits, fantasy, adventure, and animation.
We believe that the summer cinema will be a big hit!
Who can be the big hit movie in July?
We'll see!
