2023 National Day file: Chen Kaige Zhang Yimou is positive, "Volunteers" is about to explode, "Predecessor 4" or a big victory

This summer's season is really hot from beginning to end.

"Disappearing Her" started well, "Feng Shen" took over the baton, and the subsequent release of "Desperate" caught up at high speed and became the summer box office champion.

The total box office of the schedule is as high as 20.62 billion, far exceeding the 17.653 billion in 2019.

In the next National Day file, 11 more films will be released.

Among them, the most explosive potential may be "Volunteer Army: Heroic Attack" directed by Chen Kaige.

This film about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea took three years just to polish the script. Because it is a group portrait narrative, there are hundreds of characters who appear, and the cast can be imagined.

Xin Baiqing, who starred in Li Moyin, is a powerful person who has debuted for nearly 30 years. The play is low-key and elegant, and the play can be positive or evil, and the plasticity is extremely high; And Zhu Yilong, who won the Golden Rooster actor with "Life Events" and is popular because of "Disappearing Her", starred in the film as instructor Li Xiang.

Another with his own popularity is Zhang Songwen, who played Wu Xiuquan in the film. His ability to control the role has long been recognized as a "drama bone" in the hearts of the audience.

With the gathering of powerful people, coupled with the high compatibility of the film's theme with the schedule, even if "Volunteers: Heroes Attack" has caused controversy due to the poster, it will become the first choice for many people.

"Rock Solid" directed by Zhang Yimou is another key alternative for the National Day file.

In terms of theme, "Rock Solid" is Zhang Yimou's first attempt at urban police and bandit crime films, and his cold painting style is also very different from his previous works.

In terms of the cast, Zhou Dongyu, who has no cooperation with Zhang Yimou after "The Love of Hawthorn Tree", became a "rehired girl" this time and starred in the heroine Li Huilin; Lei Jiayin, who played the villain twice in Zhang Yimou's works, finally "changed his evil and returned to the right" this time, starring in Su Jianming, a criminal police officer who is dedicated to pursuing the truth and exposing the mystery.

However, Yu Hewei "went astray" this time and starred in Li Zhitian, a wealthy businessman from the bottom who made his fortune by criminal means. Zhang Guoli and Chen Chong worked together for the first time, playing a couple who looked like Qin Se and Ming.

Also appearing in the film are Chen Daoming, Tian Yu and so on.

In addition to the actors, "Rock Solid" can also watch the story itself.

When the trailer was released earlier, the scale of the film was so large that netizens were surprised. The bus bombing in the busy city, the unknown corpse hidden in the wall, the nearly 10 billion funds involved in the case, and Li Zhitian's rampant arrogance all make this story of "eggs hitting stones" full of tension.

However, in terms of popularity alone, these two famous director's works may not be able to win "Predecessor 4: Marriage Young".

Although in the eyes of many netizens, the story routine and deliberately sensational of the "predecessor series" that opened in 2014 cannot be regarded as a masterpiece, but it cannot withstand its own audience.

In other words, good box office.

The first one sold for 129 million, and the second one, released the following year, received 251 million. And "Predecessor 3: Goodbye Ex", released in 2017, sold 1.941 billion in a full network of complaints.

Therefore, even if there will be no qualitative improvement in quality, "Predecessor 4: Marriage Young" directed by Tian Yusheng and starring Han Geng, Zheng Kai, Yu Wenwen and other original casts will probably not be bad at the box office.

At present, the number of people who want to watch on a single platform alone has exceeded 1.42 million, but it is unknown whether it can create a good result in the previous one.

In addition to the above 3 films, the National Day file is expected to compete for the box office, as well as "Moscow Action" and "It Seems That the Blood Is Not So Hot".

"Operation Moscow", directed by Qiu Litao, is based on the "Sino-Russian train robbery" and tells the story of the transnational arrest of bandits by Chinese police.

The film has feelings.

In 2004's "No Thief in the World", Zhang Hanyu and Andy Lau once had a "soldier and thief confrontation" on the train. After 20 years, the two met on another train.

In the film, Zhang Hanyu still plays a policeman who is still disguised as a task, but this time it is no longer a supporting role. And Andy Lau's mysterious man Vasily, who is currently unknown in good and evil.

The film has hot spots.

Yu Hewei became bad in "Rock Solid", and Huang Xuan also became the bandit leader in "Operation Moscow", leading people to carry out a series of ransacks in the car.

In "Disappearing Her", Wen Yongshan, who is both beautiful and "crazy", this performance is still bright. Just the enchanting appearance of the curly hair in red in the trailer has surprised thousands of netizens.

If you add Qiu Litao's design control of the action scenes, "Operation Moscow" is really worth looking forward to.

"It seems that the blood is not so hot" adapted from "Basketball Champions" may be "positive and negative" poles.

As the "Mid-Autumn Festival National Day, the only comedy", this sports comedy movie starring Wei Xiang and Wang Zhi is likely to become the first choice for some families.

After all, everyone wants to have fun during the holidays.

However, in view of the fact that in recent years, the production of "Happy Twist" has overturned one after another, and has been added to the lightning protection list by many people, and the trend after the release of the film is really difficult to say.

And the 6 animated films such as "Baker Bear: Mission to Mars" and "Team Wang Achievement Movie 2" released on the National Day file seem to be incapable of fighting, and they all seem to be taking advantage of the holiday to brush the attention of children.

In addition, among the optional films in the National Day file, there are also "The Expendables 4" and "Parrot Killing", which were released on the 15th and can catch up with the "tail of the schedule".

The "Expendables Series" has been filmed until now, although the audience has long been familiar with its story routines, but the accumulation of feelings over the years, and it is also the "final chapter", which may rush a wave of popularity.

And "Parrot Killing", as the first pig-killing plate female anti-killing movie, the theme is first related to social hot topics, and the starring Zhou Dongyu and Zhang Yu are both powerful people who can act. If the narrative can still add points, it is not impossible to become a hit.

Although with these two, the National Day file seems to be a little not strong enough. But think about several popular films in this summer, all of which have become dark horses with a "cold explosion" attitude, and it is unknown that the National Day file may be able to replicate this momentum.
