The summer season is coming, and fans can carnival again.

It's a pity that the long-awaited "Fengshen Part II" missed the appointment, just for the next better meeting.

"Fengshen 2" can't come, let's take a look at the 11 films that have been officially announced in the summer file today and are worth watching.

01, "American Civil War", released on June 7

"Annihilation" director Alex. Garland's latest masterpiece, which was released in the United States two months later in China, has a current Douban score of 6.5, which is a feature film that can still be watched.

The film plays out in the near future, when a full-scale civil war breaks out in the United States, and veteran war correspondent Smith leads a team through the war zone to Washington, hoping to interview the president before he surrenders to the military force "WF".

The film is inspired by the uproar in Texas, where the United States, which has always regarded itself as the world's policeman, will face division, full of irony and reality.

Fans who want to find grand war scenes in this movie may be disappointed, according to the feedback of fans who have seen it, it is also a small-scale street fight, and this movie is also an appetizer in the summer file.

02, "Mad Max: Goddess of Fury", released on June 7

Hollywood veteran director George. Miller's latest wasteland sci-fi action blockbuster, the last one in which Theron played Freosa shined.

So this prequel to her was filmed to see how she grew into a Valkyrie in her own right in the midst of brutal killing.

Anya. Taylor. Joey plays the young Freosa, who has a stunning performance in the American drama "Rear Wing Abandonment".

In "Dune", she played the male protagonist's sister Alia. Atreides, with her unique and cool temperament, seems to be able to control the wasteland wind.

The biggest surprise of this movie is the invitation of "Thor" Chris. Hemsworth plays the male lead, and as one of Hollywood's most box-office appealing action stars, his joining is expected to bring more surprises.

Now that Hollywood blockbusters are no longer in the domestic landscape, in order to strive for a high box office, it is said that this film was introduced without a cut, but domestic fans who are used to seeing the world have long been less concerned about the scale, and the quality of the movie is the first place.

03, "Sweeping the Black: Never Give Up", released on June 8

The latest masterpiece of the 500 director, the male number one is Xiao Yang, and the other leading actors are Yu Haolei, Fan Chengcheng and Li Chengru.

Five hundred is the producer of "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night", and has directed more works and dramas, "Sweeping the Black Storm" and "Antiques in the Bureau" are above the passing line, and the movie ""Big" Man" has a score of 6.4 on Douban.

Basically, he is a qualified commercial film director, and he can be said to have something, but not much.

However, this time, the new film of Director 500 is said to be a fusion of crime and comedy, which may be worth looking forward to.

04, "Stop and Go", released on June 8

Rookie director Long Fei's second feature film, his last work "The Man Who Sleeps on the Sofa" has a good reputation, and the new work deserves special attention.

The key is that he invited Hu Ge and Gao Yuanyuan to star, looking at the texture presented in the trailer, maybe this will be another "Love Myth".

Hu Ge has a vicious eye for picking scripts in recent years, and he can't get into his eyes at all, so he is waiting for his "Flowers".

Now Lao Hu has selected "Stop and Go", and this alone is worth a movie ticket.

05, "Negotiator", released on June 8

Directed by Qiu Litao, starring Liu Qingyun, Wu Zhenyu, Miao Qiaowei and Jiang Haowen.

Another standard Hong Kong film lineup, this movie is a remake of the Hollywood classic "Ace vs. Ace".

As one of Hong Kong's most prolific directors, Yau Litao was able to shoot the surprising "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" and the word-of-mouth "Anti-Drug 3: The End of the World", his directing ability is unpredictable and unpredictable.

It is an indisputable fact that Hong Kong film actors have broken their generations, 60-year-old actors pretend to be young and 40-year-old, no matter how well these familiar faces are maintained, they will eventually make people play.

But then again, these famous old actors themselves are the guarantee of their acting skills, no matter how you watch the movie, you can pay attention to it if you like Hong Kong films.

06, "Dog Formation", released on June 15

Best Film in the "Un Certain Regard Unit" at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, directed by Guan Hu, starring Peng Yuyan and Tong Liya, and other leading actors include Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yi, Yuan Hong and other actors.

Film critics commented that this is director Guan Hu's best work, surpassing his "Bullfight", "Lao Paoer" and "Eight Hundred".

However, in the eyes of film critics, the good is not necessarily the same as that of movie fans, the former pays more attention to artistic expression, and the latter may want commercial entertainment.

The movie tells the story of Erlang, who is out of touch with society after being released from prison, forced to join the dog fighting team for his livelihood, and inadvertently saves a stray black dog.

This may be a movie that has been very polarized by word-of-mouth after its release, and those who like it can't wait to watch it twice, and those who hate it may disdain it.

07, "Mind Agent Team 2", released on June 21

The sequel to Hollywood's Pixar animation "Mind Squad" in 2015 has a score of 8.8 on Douban so far, which is a good memory for many fans.

The good news is that the sequel to the classic IP is coming, and China and the United States are released a week apart. Doggett and Ronaldo. Bender. Carmen was replaced by Kelsey. Long.

Doggett is also the director of "Flying House" and "Journey of the Soul", and now the substitution brings some hidden concerns to the film.

As Jasmine grows up, her emotional system will also be upgraded, and this new attraction and new director will also usher in the test of the market.

08, "Customs Front", released on July 5

Directed by Qiu Litao, starring Jacky Cheung, Nicholas Tse, Lin Jiaxin, Wu Zhenyu, etc.

The core highlight of the movie, the underrated singer Jacky Cheung returned to the big screen after a long absence, Nicholas Tse acted as the action director for the first time, and the scenes of heavy firepower emerged in endlessly.

Qiu Litao has been filming a lot on the assembly line, and he urgently needs a hardcore work to prove his directorial strength.

09, "Legend", released on July 12

Director Tang Jili, starring Jackie Chan, and other leading actors include Zhang Yixing, Guli Nazha, Li Zhiting, Li Chen, etc.

Once the golden partner, Tang Jili and Jackie Chan teamed up to ensure the box office, "Red Fan District", "Police Story 3", "Myth" and so on are their masterpieces.

Helplessly, in recent years, "Kung Fu Yoga" and "Pioneer" have broken the hearts of fans.

As a spiritual sequel to "Myth", the biggest attraction of this movie is undoubtedly the AI reshaping of the young version of Jackie Chan, whether it can make fans dream back to the past, and wait to see if the effect can be played when it is released.

Uncle Long, who is 70 years old this year, has been with fans for decades, and the movies he starred in can be said to be one less to watch, and with only the word Jackie Chan, it is still worth recommending and a movie ticket.

10. "Shen Xiao Yang 4", July 12

Hollywood's classic animated Minions have all come out to the fourth part, and two of the first three Douban scores in the series are above 8 points, and the upper part is disappointing with only 6.8 points.

Gru and Lucy have successfully created people after marriage, and the arrival of "Mini Gru" will also bring new tests to the new dad, and the new villain bullie Max is also ready to bring trouble to the Gru family at any time.

As soon as the cute-eyed yellow man came out, the hearts of many fans were melted, and fans were extremely sticky to the series.

11, "White Snake: Floating Life", released on August 10

The orthodox sequel to the light-chasing animation "White Snake" series is also its third work, and after the foreshadowing of the first two parts, it finally arrives to tell the story of Xu Xian and the White Lady.

When "White Snake: Origin" was launched in 2019, it raised the banner for light-chasing animation, and the box office of 468 million also greatly boosted fans' confidence in domestic animation.

In 2021, the reputation of the second "White Snake: The Robbery of the Green Snake" dropped slightly, and the main story of the White Snake that fans were looking forward to was played in a roundabout way by the main creator on Xiaoqing's side line.

However, fortunately, there was still a small breakthrough at the box office, reaching 580 million, which shows the market's recognition of the technical ability of chasing light in the field of animation.

Chasing light is unique in the domestic animation field, and as the most marketable work outside the Fengshen IP, "White Snake" is worth looking forward to.

postscript

In the summer of 2023, with the help of films such as "All or Nothing", "Disappearing Her", "Fengshen Part 1", "In the Octagonal Cage", "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" and other films, 20.619 billion yuan was sold.

Now in 2024, it is difficult to reach last year's results with the above 11 works alone, and if you want to break through the 20 billion box office, you really have to put a question mark.

Fortunately, there are still many movies on the way, such as Dumpling's "Nezha 2: The Demon Boy in the Sea" and Chen Kexin's "Sauce Garden Lane".

Section Chief Jia's "Merry Generation", Chen Sicheng's "Decryption" and Tsui Hark's martial arts film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes: The Great Hero", etc., they may meet with you in the summer.

Which one are you most looking forward to? (Written by Mu Weizhou)
