Preface
Looking forward to it, the footsteps of the Year of the Dragon in 2024 are getting closer and closer, and in this season full of laughter, there are seven movies that have attracted much attention and will compete on the same stage during the Spring Festival, each with its own characteristics.
Among them, the works of Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow are particularly eye-catching, and this is also the 11th time they have collided.
Among the 7 movies in the Spring Festival file, is there any one that makes you look forward to it? What are the highlights of each film? Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow's 11th "Forbidden Top Showdown", who has the last laugh?
Bringing real-life events to the screen - "Mr. Red Carpet"
The movie "Mr. Red Carpet", which the well-known director Ning Hao and Andy Lau, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings", is going to be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year next year! The original schedule was changed from November 17th to the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this operation has earned enough eyeballs.
This movie is about Liu Weichi (played by Andy Lau) in order to get the award for the best actor, and he made a movie about rural themes with director Lin Hao (played by Ning Hao), during which a lot of interesting things happened.
Someone asked: How did the big-name Andy Lau find the "unknown" Ning Hao?
Talking about director Ning Hao, everyone will think of his "crazy" series of movies, full of jokes, and every time I watch it, I feel funny. For example, films such as "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing" and "Crazy Alien" can always bring joy to everyone because of their unique humor and unexpected plots.
is like Huang Bo, who has eaten a lot of dividends from the "Crazy" series of movies and has become a powerful star in the film industry. So what highlights did director Ning Hao bring us to this "Mr. Red Carpet"?
This time, Ning Hao and Andy Lau joined forces after 17 years, and everyone was very curious about what kind of sparks would be created. It's like the first time two chefs have teamed up to cook, one is good at big dishes, and the other is good at desserts. By combining their cooking methods and ingredients, everyone wants to know what delicious dishes will be made.
Another highlight, this movie is based on real 999 things, including the Internet celebrities at that time, taking group photos, celebrities changing positions, etc., which are all kinds of interesting stories in the entertainment industry.
If you want to know how Andy Lau performs these stories, remember to watch them on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Another highlight, Andy Lau's role of Stephen Lau, friends with a heart may guess that this represents the three actors of "Andy Lau, Tony Leung, and Stephen Chow", and the reason why Andy Lau skillfully used Stephen Chow's name may have been an incident many years ago.
Many friends should know that at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards in 2005, Stephen Chow's "Kung Fu" won many awards, and professionals also appreciated this work. It's a pity that the Best Director Award didn't fall to him, a live escort player.
However, at the 42nd Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards in 2005, Stephen Chow really won the Best Director Award, which was well deserved.
Netizen: Look at Andy on the first day of the new year!
On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of "Bear Infested", will it live up to our expectations?
In addition to the above "Mr. Red Carpet" to meet the fun of adults, it also takes care of children's interests, a "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space", the first day of the Lunar New Year will also explode!
The bald head Qiang's cool battle costume this time, more three-dimensional and plump than before, and such a handsome shape is like a superhero who came out of the comics! The reason why it is so "elite" is to save the sworn enemy, Xiong Da Xiong Er.
Middle: bald strong
In addition, attentive netizens also found in the trailer that the classic characters who have appeared in other works have also joined this rescue operation.
Netizen: Full of memories.
So, what happened between Bald Qiang and Xiong Da this time, can they abandon their previous suspicions, laugh at their enmity, and save each other?
Then stay tuned for the movie on the first day of the new year.
Unknowingly, the "Bear Infested" movie has been in the movies since 2014, and every year since, the "Bear Infested" series of movies has been rolling like spring thunder, one after another. Whether it is the Chinese New Year or the Spring Festival, its shadow is indispensable. At present, there are more than 10 movies in this series.
2024 is the tenth year of "Bear Infested", and at this special moment, I believe that the team of "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" can bring fans a more unusual visual impact.
Many people wonder why when watching "Bear Infested", whether it is a child or an adult, they don't feel annoying?
As the production team said, every year the "Bear Infested" movie strives to meet the viewing needs of audiences of different ages, while it must have the humor, joy and fun that primary school students like, and on the other hand, it must also incorporate some realistic elements and deep themes to attract adults.
After you finish watching "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space", you may be able to find the best answer!
On one side there are satirical comedy films that adults love, and on the other side there are anime films that children are passionate about.
Large-scale realist film - "Article 20"
At a film festival in 2023, Zhang Yimou's response to the new film "Article 20".
Some people wonder why Zhang Yimou's previous movie names were so noble, why is it called "Article 20" this time?
To explain, this is a film that focuses on social significance, and its original title was "Justifiable Defense", which happens to correspond to the content of Article 20 of the Criminal Law.
Speaking of this movie, it reminds me of the "Yu Huan case" that shocked the whole country a few years ago. Whether Zhang Yimou's "Article 20" originates from this, you can guess for yourself.
So what is the story of Article 20?
The protagonist Han Ming (Lei Jiayin) was originally a conservative prosecutor, but he was involved in a case with seriously different opinions, and he was a little reluctant.
After struggling, he and his colleague Lu Zhengfang (Ma Li) solved the big trouble together, and finally the defendant's crime of intentional injury was cleared and changed to legitimate defense, which won everyone's praise.
Netizens are curious, how did the two prosecutors, Han Ming and Lu Zhengfang, treat the defendant so well? What magical defense skills did they use to turn things around?
This can stump the editor, and the editor is also a second monk who is confused, so let's wait for the movie on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Many friends asked, since this movie is designed by Zhang Yimou, who is known as the "fifth generation director", what is the difference between the movie he made and the first two movies in this article?
According to the information revealed so far, the lineup of this performance can be called luxurious and amazing, with as many as 14 big-name actors gathered together. For example: Lei Jiayin, Ma Li, Gao Ye, Liu Yaowen, Zhao Liying, Yu Hewei, Fan Wei, etc.
The strength that does not show weakness between the big names and the big names will also inadvertently increase the intensity of the performance. In layman's terms, it is a drama.
Some asked if Ma Li would become the new Mou girl. This movie is the first collaboration between Zhang Yimou and Ma Li, Ma Li is no stranger to everyone, and the magical laughter has become a classic.
During the Spring Festival last year, Ma Li starred in "This Killer is Not Calm" won a box office of more than 2 billion, plus the movies she starred in before, she easily won the title of 10 billion box office actress. Maybe he was selected by Zhang Yimou for this point, and looked forward to Ma Li's wonderful performance.

Another point, looking at director Zhang Yimou's previous films, each story has a high density and fast pace, and he pays more attention to innovation. Everyone knows that short videos have been popular in the past 2 years, and in this era of fast-paced and fast consumption, we don't know what different content Director Zhang will integrate to catch the attention of users and retain their hearts.
Follow Article 20 to unlock more legal and social knowledge, and stay tuned for the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After talking about Zhang Yimou's movie, the next movie is also amazing, it is said that AI technology is used, what is going on?
AI technology reshapes the appearance of 27-year-old Jackie Chan - "Legend"
"Legend" is the first time that Tang Jili and Jackie Chan have teamed up, and it is not the first time they have cooperated, this is the tenth intimate contact!
For example, they collaborated on "Police Story 3", "Mythology", "Kung Fu Yoga" and so on.
Netizen: It's stronger than gold and diamonds!
In addition, this movie introduces AI technology, like the mysterious glacier temple finally revealing the true face of Lushan! There are also yellow sand deserts and windy ice waves, all kinds of scenes are exquisite, and the audience seems to have a feeling of being transported between ancient and modern.
Netizens are curious, what story does Jackie Chan tell, and he also uses AI technology?
This story is about Professor Chen (played by Jackie Chan) who suddenly found a cultural relic one day, and if you look closely, oh my mother, the lines on it are exactly the same as the mysterious jade pendant worn by the woman in his dream!
I don't know why Professor Chen had to investigate this clue, so he led the expedition into the glacier temple to find the secret of the mysterious jade pendant. Don't you really see the woman sleeping on the ice bed.
Could it be that this woman's magic made Professor Chen come to receive some scriptures? What happened behind all this, who was this woman, and what "unspeakable secrets" did she have between her and Teacher Chen?
Well, all the answers can only be revealed on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the editor also wants to know.
In the editor's opinion, there are two other highlights of this film:
It was an eye-opener. Tang Jili said that the film "Legend" uses high-tech means, and AI reshapes the heroic figure of our old friend Jackie Chan at the age of 27. How, it's exciting to listen to!
There are many wonderful scenes in this movie, some of which were filmed in beautiful Xinjiang! There is a real scene of a thousand people and thousands of horses in a passionate and magnificent scene, what is going on?
It turned out that the relevant departments of Xinjiang specially supported more than 6,000 horses and staged a real shooting, so that the friends could see the magnificent scene of the army gathering and preparing to attack in front of the screen.
Netizen: Finally watch the thousands of troops!
Mermaid 2
Speaking of star movies, let's listen to the voices of netizens first.
Among so many movies, Stephen Chow's "Mermaid 2" may be the movie that many people have been looking forward to for a long time. It was completed in 2018, and I got it back and forth halfway, and many times everyone thought they could watch it, but they waited lonely. According to Douban movie information, "Mermaid 2" is finally set for the first day of the Lunar New Year (February 10, 2024).
Netizen: It's been 5 years, it's too tiring.
Netizens are curious, it has been completed many years ago, why has it not been released for a long time?
There is a saying that if you don't fight an unprepared battle, you should put it on Xingye's dedication to work and strive for excellence, that is to be fully prepared, if the work is not satisfied, until the revision is satisfied.
The editor also deeply understands this point, if the article is published in a hurry, it is not responsible for the readers to themselves, at least polish it to their own satisfaction.
It is said that Stephen Chow was not satisfied with the special effects in the later stage of the movie, and once repeatedly revised it, sometimes for dozens of seconds of less important shots, he would rather spend a lot of energy.
To paraphrase Ma Li's Spring Festival Gala, this is going to be replaced by someone else, and he "ran" early after filming.
Another reason is that there is a bad actor who has an "accident", and if this person doesn't mention it, the editor won't say that his surname is Wu, and in the end he was punished as he deserved.
Netizen: A rat poop spoils a pot of porridge.
Although it has not been released for more than 5 years, and the audience is anxious, the saying is good, a good meal is not afraid of being late.
Some friends are puzzled, what is so attractive about "Mermaid 2"?
The editor thinks that Xing Ye's movies are always so unique, and if you don't finish watching "Mermaid 1", you may be a little confused. In fact, the expectations for these two films are very good, especially "Mermaid 2", and I also have some insights, such as:
The male protagonist in "The Mermaid" is Deng Chao, who is quite popular with the audience, so why choose Allen, who is not too popular?
The editor thinks that those who have watched Xing Ye's movies a few times will find that Xing Ye seems to prefer different leading actors. This is probably the reason why Xing Ye is a cut above, he is a powerful director.
Regardless of men and women, whether they fly in the sky or walk on the ground, as long as they are trained by him, their acting skills soar instantly. This is also enough to prove his directorial talent, such as "Kung Fu", he will come up with unexpected designs for every actor's actions and lines.
Picture from the movie "Kung Fu".
Also, Xing Ye may be looking for a funny expert to be his successor, such as Huang Bo in "Journey to the West", Deng Chao in "Mermaid", Wang Baoqiang in "The King of New Comedy" and Allen in Happy Twist.
They share funny skills with each other in the process of cooperation, and when the star master no longer performs in person, he may pass on the title of "King of Comedy" to this newcomer.
Having said so much, what you are most concerned about is whether the box office can surpass the first part of "The Mermaid", right? Coincidentally, the Spring Festival Jackie Chan and Stephen Chow movie is the 11th "Forbidden Top Showdown" between the two, who can win this time?
7 years ago, in 2016, the box office of "Mermaid" was more than 3 billion, and the box office champion of the Spring Festival stalls was it.
Mermaid Part I
This has to go back to 2013, when Xing Ye and Huayi Brothers filmed "Journey to the West", and the mainland box office earned more than 1 billion, and everyone was happy. As a result, there was a dispute when the money was divided, and in the end, they all went to court, and Xing Ye lost.
Since then, the two have turned their faces, but they have achieved Light Media. In 2016, Guangguang Media cooperated with Xing Ye in "Mermaid", and he made a lot of money, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile. At this time, the saddest thing is Huayi Brothers.
Netizen: I made it myself.
7 years later, "Mermaid 2" made a strong return, and Huayi Brothers and Xing Ye released their suspicions. As the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
Netizen: Are Huayi Brothers nervous or happy this time?
Wait and see on the first day of the first lunar month, and I wish Xingye a big box office hit. Having said so much, back to the 11th "Top of the Forbidden City" of Xing Ye and Jackie Chan's Spring Festival stalls.
Xing Ye and Jackie Chan's 11th "Top of the Forbidden City"
As the saying goes, the king does not see the king. Under special circumstances, everyone always has to play a game for the sake of profit. So there is nothing more happy than the audience, as the so-called, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
Speaking of their first move, the story has to be traced back to the Chinese New Year file in 1991, when Stephen Chow was born on the 18th day of the lunar month with "Tricky Expert", and finally earned more than 31 million US dollars, but the Jackie Chan movie "Flying Eagle Project" was released 5 days later, and finally earned more than 39 million US dollars! Needless to say, Jackie Chan won the first meeting.
To be honest, the editor thinks that Jackie Chan won in a reasonable and expected way. Why?
Stephen Chow's movie "Tricky Expert"
The film "Tricky Expert" was produced in a hurry, the script was not written, and director Wang Jing had to sleep three or four hours a day. had to invite the big beauty Guan Zhilin to save the scene, and sometimes I forgot my lines when I patted it.
On the contrary, looking at Jackie Chan's "Flying Eagle Project", which is a big production and atmosphere, with filming locations all over the world, and a lot of money spent, it is naturally good-looking.
Jackie Chan movie "Flying Eagle Project"
If you are interested, you can go back and compare.
In a blink of an eye, Stephen Chow joined hands with a number of stars, short-term, low-cost production of the comedy "Happy Family" in Hong Kong to obtain more than 48 million Hong Kong dollars, and this time Jackie Chan is still a big deal, a big production, and the same big names gathered, but only received more than 33 million Hong Kong dollars, this time Stephen Chow won properly.
And this year, Stephen Chow's life was opened, and he produced excellent works one after another, which was designated as the "Year of Stephen Chow" by industry insiders, such as "The Judge of the Dead", "The Legend of Deer and Ding", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" and other familiar works, which are still classic chant to this day.
Movie "The Legend of Deer and Ding"
Jackie Chan has maintained a record of 16 years of box office champions, and has been ruthlessly crushed by the star so far.
This time their contest can be described as unexpected, what do you think about this?
Jackie Chan made a cameo appearance in Stephen Chow's movie "The King of Comedy"
At this point, the two sides are tied. From 1993 to 2023, the timing of his two works collided 8 times, and according to the editor's statistics, Jackie Chan won a little more times. According to statistics, the two of them have "clashed 10 times", and Jackie Chan has lost 3 times.
Although these two big names don't care who wins and who loses, industry insiders will always take the box office results higher, which makes them secretly compete in their hearts.
As for this time, the 11th "Top of the Forbidden City", who will have the last laugh? I believe that everyone has a scale in their hearts.
Who does the partner support, please leave a message in the comment area to reply.
It's hot and piping hot
The film "Hot and Hot" is directed and written by Jia Ling, and the starring team includes Lei Jiayin, talk show actor Li Xueqin, comedian Qiao Shan, etc.
In order to better present the film, the film crew also came to Foshan, Guangdong, a city with a very different style from the north. However, whether the movie can be loved by the audience in the end depends on how well the finished product performs.
Jia Ling filming scene
Jia Ling's film still caused a lot of controversy. It turns out that this "Hot and Hot" is adapted from the Japanese award-winning blockbuster "100 Yuan Love", and the story is mainly about a girl named Le Ying, who decided to learn boxing due to family conflicts and life blows, hoping to change her fate.
Whether Jia Ling has "plagiarized", whether there is a careful and unique output content, and then make the audience's eyes shine, we will wait and see on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Netizens asked, can this film surpass "Hello, Li Huanying"? Or will it become Waterloo?
The most important reason for the success of "Hello, Li Huanying" directed by Jia Ling is that it is full of affection, and Jia Ling's real emotional experience makes it such a "tear gas".
And in this movie released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, whether Jia Ling can once again use this true love to depict an inspirational life of a boxing girl, people can't help but be curious.
Netizen: No wonder I can't see Jia Ling in the ace show, it turns out that "plagiarism" has gone.
Can robots replace real people - "Do Not Disturb 3"
This "Do Not Disturb 3" is the second sequel to the end, unfolding a brand new story. The movie is set in 2031, and the starring roles are still the familiar Ge You and Shu Qi.
They finally got married, but they separated again not long after, Uncle Ge began to miss Shu Beauty, and people were not around, what should I do?
So, Mr. Fan Wei made an artificial intelligence robot to help Uncle Ge solve problems, but in the end he created a ridiculous story, so when will Shu Meinu appear?
Looking forward to the release of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 3" on December 30, let's reveal the answer.
The film's funny golden sentences are also a highlight. For example, do you know what it means to miss you? The temple on the high mountain is still too low, sitting face-to-face still thinking about you, asking what is the situation in the world, waste, etc., full of laughter and even thought-provoking.
In addition, there are many heart-warming words in the movie, such as 20 years, I can't fit someone else in my heart, or let her occupy it, etc., all of which hit the deepest emotions in people's hearts.
It seems that this movie will combine humor, emotion and thinking to the extreme, and become a hot topic in this New Year's Eve file!
I wish Director Feng a big hit in advance.
Author's point of view
Life is a drama, does it matter who wins and who loses? In fact, living oneself well, being a harmonious family, and being happy are better than anything else.
New Year's Day is approaching, and the Spring Festival is not far away, bring your family and her, and the movie theater will go up to save the unhappy.
