However, most of them are not commercial blockbusters, and the actors are not the ranks of superstars, so most of them are cannon fodder-level movies, and the real ones that people are looking forward to are Er Dongsheng's "Youth Diary" and Sima Nan starring "Beyond the Heavy Mountain".
1. Behind-the-scenes team;
"Youth Diary" is produced by Er Dongsheng, the current chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards Organizing Committee, and Er Dongsheng, a famous Hong Kong film and television director & producer, and Er Dongsheng's production includes classic films such as "Gun King", "A Tiger", "Different Space", "Eavesdropping" series and "Disappearing Bullet". "Beyond the Heavy Mountain" is produced by Gao Yalin, directed by Liu Zixin, Gao Yalin is a well-known film and television director and actor in Chinese mainland, with the TV series "Family with Children" is a household name, shooting TV series has certain experience, but in the film ability is unknown, the difference between movies and TV series is very large, many famous TV series directors have returned home to shoot movies, Liu Zixin is also a cutting-edge director, the new film "Beyond the Heavy Mountain" is his directorial debut. Therefore, in terms of the strength of the team behind the scenes, the combination of Er Dongsheng and Zhuo Yiqian in "Youth Diary" crushed the combination of Gao Yalin and Liu Zixin in "Beyond the Heavy Mountain".
2. Cast;
"Youth Diary" starring Lu Zhenye, Zheng Zhongji and Chen Hanna, the most well-known of these three starring roles in Chinese mainland is Zheng Zhongji, Zheng Zhongji can be called the most well-known comedian after Stephen Chow, and he is a charismatic singer with a unique style, whose popularity and influence in Guangdong Province is comparable to Andy Lau, and the disadvantage is that his influence in the northern market is very small. "Beyond the Mountain" starring Sima Nan, Gao Yalin and Liang Tian, these three Sima Nan is a self-media critic with a large number of fans, Gao Yalin is quite well-known with "Family with Children", Liang Tian is a famous mainland comedian comparable to Ge You in the 90s, these three are quite well-known, but the box office appeal is unknown, so the starring popularity of the "Beyond the Heavy Mountain" team is better!
3. Film style;
"Young Diary" has a Douban score of 8.5 points, and was shortlisted for 12 nominations at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, and won at the 60th Taiwan Film Golden M Awards and the 17th Asian Film Awards, which shows that the quality of the film is quite powerful. "Beyond the Heavy Mountain" has not yet been released, and the quality of the film is unknown for the time being, but Gao Yalin and Liu Zixin are unlikely to reach the upper limit of "Beyond the Heavy Mountain" to reach "Young Diary", so in terms of film quality, I am more optimistic about Er Dongsheng's production of "Young Diary".
4. Early heat;
Er Dongsheng supervised the production of "Young Diary" Maoyan wants to see 2,430 people, 11,000 people want to watch Taopiao, Sima Nan starred in "Beyond the Heavy Mountain" Maoyan wants to watch 1467 people, Taopiao Ticket wants to watch 1682 people, the popularity of both movies is very low in the early stage, but "Youth Diary" is scheduled to be released on April 19, completely to rub off on the popularity of the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards, because the film has been shortlisted for 12 nominations and will definitely win several awards.
Comprehensive evaluation of Er Dongsheng's "Young Diary" box office ceiling is 10 million yuan, the box office ceiling is 100 million yuan, Sima Nan's "Beyond the Mountain" box office ceiling is 1 million yuan, box office ceiling is 5 million yuan.
