The Spring Festival stalls have long been an indispensable "big dish" for domestic audiences, and they have to taste a taste of what it tastes like every New Year.
On the box office, last year's "Man Jianghong" had a box office score of 4.5 billion, and on word-of-mouth, "The Wandering Earth 2" won the first place in the Spring Festival file with a Douban score of 8.3.
It's really hard to say who was Wang Bang last year.
But even if both films are excellent, it's a thing of the past, so let's still look forward.
For example, there will be 7 films ready to go during the Spring Festival in 2024, namely "Flying Life 2", "Article 20", "Hot and Hot", "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space", "Mr. Red Carpet", "Let's Shake the Sun Together", "Eight Rings: Canopy Nether".
Before the Spring Festival stalls officially start, let's take a look first and see which one is most likely to become the king of the 2024 Spring Festival stalls!
"Article 20" - Wang Fried Index ★★★★ ☆
"National Teacher" Zhang Yimou directed "Article 20", as a domestic super-first-line director, his name is the signboard, needless to say.
"Article 20" mainly tells the story of Han Ming's continuous troubles after he took up his post in the procuratorate.
First, the son was fighting at school, and the father of the child who was beaten was the school leader, Han Ming thought that his child must be at fault, and then under the pressure of the school leader, his wife impulsively beat the school leader.
The family matter has not been resolved, and the work of the unit has not progressed for a long time.
For example, Han Ming and his partner have constant disagreements, resulting in a long delay in the resolution of the case, and some people involved in the case have been forced into a desperate situation and urgently need them to deal with it fairly and justly.
The balance between family and career, the contest between love and law, the trivialities are happy, and the cause is just.
The actors involved in the film are full of big names.
Lei Jiayin plays the male protagonist Han Ming, and Ma Li plays the heroine Li Maojuan.
In terms of supporting roles, there are Gao Ye, Zhao Liying, Zhang Yi, Chen Minghao, Fan Wei, Pan Binlong, Li Naiwen, Jiang Qiming, Yu Hewei, Ding Yongdai and so on.
The actors are all characters who have dominated domestic film and television dramas in the past two years, and their strength is all first-line players.
So good in every way, why only 4 stars.
I think that the works of the Spring Festival file need to fit the atmosphere, and "Article 20" has a lot of tragic elements after all.
"Flying Life 2" - Wang Fried Index ★★★★ ☆
Han Han's "Flying Life 2", with the audience's recognition of the previous work, his work has been listed by most audiences as the "first look" of the Spring Festival file.
In terms of script, Zhang Chi became a driving school instructor, but fortunately, his previous fame allowed him to have enough students who would not starve to death, so he could be regarded as eating with his face.
And the world is unpredictable, the director of the old man's music car factory took the initiative to sponsor Zhang Chi and others to run Bayinbrook.
The grass platform team temporarily formed by Zhang Chi and others bravely entered Bayingbrook, and what interesting images will bring us is very worth looking forward to.
Most people think that "Flying Life 2" is a prequel to the first part.
In fact, whether it is a prequel or a parallel time and space, the audience doesn't care, what they care about most is whether the film can bring more interesting and dense laughs on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After all, the combination of Shen Teng and Yin Zheng in the first part is hilarious enough, and this time the comedian Jia Bing, the conspicuous Bao Fan Chengcheng and others joined in, which made people start to "dream" early.
The main reason why the film is missing one star is that several of them have been on variety shows for a long time, and I am afraid that there is still a "variety show flavor" after being on the screen.
"Mr. Red Carpet" - Wang Fried Index ★★★★ ☆
Ning Hao directed "Mr. Red Carpet", the director himself has a strong absurd color style, coupled with the novel theme, and it is also a good appearance in the Spring Festival file.
The film has two major selling points.
First, the little-known ecology of the entertainment industry, for example, the actor said that he wanted to experience life, and he wanted to book a three-star hotel at will, which satirized the concave character of the entertainment industry.
and even the delicate relationship between the management, directors, actors, etc.
Second, Ning Hao and Andy Lau are partners, the two can be compared to the real "Maxima meets Bole", both of them have high evaluations in the industry, which makes people look forward to the chemistry between them.
The film is based on hot events in the entertainment industry and adapts them, which seems to be painless but is actually bold.
Even if it is an adaptation, there will be enthusiastic netizens who can find the prototype, so it may be more aimed at those so-called industry insiders.
Such a theme is loved by the audience, but it is also hated by some people.
A commercial film has infinite contradictions from the creation itself, how can it not become a "king bomb"?
In terms of actors, Andy Lau plays the leading role, and there are also Hong Kong film celebrities such as Leung Jiahui, Wang Jing, Lin Xilei, and Miriam Yeung, which pushed the popularity of the film to a peak.
"Hot and Hot" - King Fried Index ★★★ ☆☆
After Jia Ling's "Hello, Li Huanying" became an instant hit, a new work "Hot and Hot" was released after 1 year, and whether she could reproduce the myth of the previous work became a hot topic among the audience.
First of all, the film is adapted from the Japanese film "100 Yuan Love".
In the film, Le Ying is a housemaid, who has nothing to do all day long, she isolates herself from the outside world and lives carefully.
It's a pity that everything can go as expected, and under the trick of fate, she had to change her lifestyle and force herself to go out and communicate with the outside world.
By chance, Le Ying got acquainted with a boxing coach, and slowly the two went from strangers to acquaintances.
When she thought that life would go according to the current pattern, the trajectory of her life changed again because of boxing, and the next life will be even hotter and hotter.
Secondly, because the trailer released by the film does not know the specific content in detail.
Through the introduction of the film, you can understand that the change of lifestyle and boxing are closely related to the original work.
But after reading the genre and synopsis of the film, my heart suddenly hung in the air, "100 Yuan Love" focuses on sports, and "Hot and Hot" focuses on comedy.
This kind of adaptation is really a bit bold, whether it can become Wang Bang, I have a wait-and-see attitude.
In addition, the film is relatively strong in terms of actors, they have Lei Jiayin, Zhang Xiaofei, Yang Zi, Sha Yi, Ma Li, Wei Xiang, Xu Juncong and so on.
"Let's Shake the Sun Together" - Wang Fried Index ★★★ ☆☆
As one of the hottest directors in recent years, Han Yan's biggest feature of his works is strong emotion, such as "Send You a Little Red Flower" and so on.
The "Let's Shake the Sun Together" directed this time also has the strength to compete for the Spring Festival stalls.
The script is somewhat similar to "Send You a Little Red Flower" to explore life and death, but it is more about exploring the emotions between people.
The heroine Ling Min suffers from uremia, and the male protagonist Lu Tu accompanies her.
The two have distinct personalities, the man is simple and stupid, and is named "brainless", and the woman is tortured by illness and is labeled as "unhappy" all day long.
"Unhappy" is responsible for doing things, and "Brainless" is responsible for being funny, the two characters have their own sufferings, but they are happy to bring the audience a story full of warmth.
I have to say that Han Yan's ability to control this kind of film is extremely strong.
Because Han Yan likes to use young actors, the male and female protagonists of the film are Peng Yuchang and Li Gengxi, and the supporting roles are Xu Fan, Gao Yalin, Liu Dan, Li Jianyi, Li Chen, etc.
The film's low Wang Bang index is not because the script is not good, the actors are not good, but the theme is somewhat out of place for the Spring Festival to be released.
Even if the two of them have a lot of jokes, they can't get rid of the sadness in their bones, and I believe that most viewers want to laugh on the first day of the new year, rather than crying quietly.
In addition, there are two animated films that are also worth looking forward to.
They are "Bear Infested: Reversing Time and Space" directed by Lin Huida and "The Nether of the Canopy of the Eight Rings" directed by He Ranhao.
Last year's "Bear Infested: Stay with Me "Xiongxin"" slashed nearly 1.5 billion at the box office, and this year's "Bear Infested: Reversal of Time and Space" has gained 500,000+ people who want to watch it after the official announcement.
The other is the theme of Journey to the West commonly used in domestic animation in recent years, some shoot Sun Wukong, some shoot Nezha and shoot Erlang God, this time it is "Bajie's Canopy Nether" based on Zhu Bajie.
On the whole, "Article 20", "Flying Life 2" and "Mr. Red Carpet" have become Wang Bang's index better than several other works.
Finally, which of the 7 films that are ready to go can become the king of the Spring Festival file in 2024?
Tell me the answer in the comment section.
