After such a long time of admiration, it finally ushered in a week that belonged to Chinese films, and in this week, the new cinema films that deserve attention are mainly concentrated in Chinese films, which is still very interesting.
So, what are some Chinese films worth paying attention to this week? Whether it is a good film or a thunder film, I believe that this week's Chinese film should not disappoint you.
Not a problem
November 21
Director: Mei Feng
Writers: Mei Feng / Huang Shi / Lao She (original)
Starring: Fan Wei / Yin Tao / Zhang Chao / Shi Yihong / Wang Yiming / Wang Zitong / Jiang Zhongwei / Feng Mantian / Liang Tingwei / Wang Kanwei / Yu Ying
Genre: Drama
Country of Production: Chinese mainland / France
I believe that everyone is already familiar with this movie, and this one will be released tomorrow.
Last year's Golden Horse Award for Best Adapted Screenplay is also the directorial debut of Mei Feng as a screenwriter.
The novel adapted from Lao She, although it is old, it also has its significance today, which is also the reason for the classic. The film tells the open struggle between the old and new farm directors, and is a contemporary satirical film, the main focus of which is the sophistication and implicit satire of some Chinese society.
Not only is it a satirical comedy that should be interesting, but black-and-white photography should also be a major attraction.
Fan Wei also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor for this film.
So much so that this year, everyone mentioned Teacher Fan Wei in a tone full of awe.
Although this year's Golden Horse is about to be awarded, last year's Golden Horse hit movie is finally going to be released...
However, it is still very rare to see such an art film in a movie theater.
Moreover, it can be predicted that this piece of film will not be too much, so it is necessary to grasp it.
Since the last time we recommended this movie, the Douban score has risen by another 0.1 points.
It's 8.1 now, and not too many people have seen it.
carnival
November 24
Director: Wen Yan
Writers: Wen Yan
Starring: Wen Qi / Zhou Meijun / Shi Ke / Geng Le / Liu Weiwei / Peng Jing / Wang Lixin / Li Mengnan
This is also a literary film that everyone is looking forward to this year, and I believe that everyone has seen a lot of recommendations one after another.
Many people call it "the best Chinese film of the year" and "the best Chinese youth film", and some people say that "this kind of theme should be difficult to release", but I think this is the best mainland women's theme this year.
I didn't expect it to be released so soon, which is also very rare.
The film was nominated for the Golden Lion Award in Venice, and received three heavyweight nominations at the Golden Horse Awards: Best Feature Film, Best Director and Best Actress; it also received a lot of praise at the recent Pingyao Film Festival.
Now Douban has a score of 8.2, which is also up 0.2 points after our last recommendation.
To be honest, even if I look at this subject alone, I am very interested.
That is to say, the female director's story of teenage girl sexual assault takes place in a small southern city, and the depiction of the current situation of women in the contemporary mainland has also resonated with many female audiences before.
But there are many other points to watch in this movie. Director Wen Yan is the producer of diao yinan's "night train" and "daytime fireworks" before, and the film's behind-the-scenes lineup is also very strong, with many of her old friends during the cooperation between Diao Yinan.
The performance of the fourteen-year-old actress Wen Qi is also worth looking forward to. She was nominated for both Golden Horse Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress - and also participated in another Golden Horse hit movie "Blood Guanyin", sharing the stage with Hui Yinghong, Wu Kexi, Chen Shali and others.
For such a little girl, it is really powerful.
And the performance of another post-00 girl, Zhou Meijun, is actually very good. Therefore, whether it is the theme, word of mouth or the production team, I think it is worth paying attention to.
Detonator
Director: Chang Zheng
Starring: Duan Yihong / Yu Nan / Wang Jingchun / Cheng Taishen / Yu Haolei
Genre: Action / Crime
Country of Production: Chinese mainland
Duan Yihong is quite prolific this month, and his "Blizzard Is Coming" was still hotly discussed last week, and this week's new film "The Detonator" will be released again.
If you are still obsessed with the acting skills of the old section in "Blizzard Is Coming", then this movie should still be able to watch.
There is no doubt, though, that the styles of the two films are not the same.
If "Blizzard Is Coming" is a rather sharp and stylized literary crime film, then this "Detonator" is a more genre, and you should be able to see more tense and thrilling action scenes and explosion scenes.
Including the plot introduction, it is also mentioned that Duan Yihong plays a "lone hero" and shows the skills of the earth method to make weapons.
Another highlight of this movie is that its cast is also more powerful, and there are familiar faces such as Yu Nan, Wang Jingchun, Cheng Taishen and so on.
It's also a strong lineup.
Hunt
Director: Wu Yusen
Writers: Chen Qingjia / Chen Jiashang / Ruan Shisheng / Jiang Liangzhi / Gu Zailin / Wang Simin / Ye Peijie
Starring: Zhang Hanyu / Masaharu Fukuyama / Qi Wei / Kachien / Hayabusa Kunimura / Naoto Takeaka / Hosaki Kurata / Ko saito / Wu Feixia / Nanami Sakuraba
Genre: Drama / Action / Suspense
Country/Region of Production: Hong Kong / Chinese mainland
Well, this should also be regarded as a very popular Chinese film in the theater this week, although it is always felt that it may not work.
Since Wu Yusen's "Taiping Wheel" two years ago, the new works launched by Wu Yusen are simply more international.
In fact, this can be said to be a Japanese film. You can also see from the cast list that in addition to Zhang Hanyu, Qi Wei and Korean actor Ha Jiyuan, the main actors are basically Japanese.
It seems that the human design is still Wu Yusen's consistent theme of brotherhood. A wronged Chinese lawyer and a Japanese policeman who wanted to find out the truth were friends and enemies.
However, Zhang Hanyu took Fukuyama Masaharu, how to see it is still a little strange.
Moreover, if you are interested in watching the trailer, you will hear these two people feeding each other hard in unskilled English, and it is quite funny, hahaha, try your best.
The film's current pre-ratings are not too good, 5.9 points. The evaluation of the previous Venice screening was not very good, but it was still necessary to watch Wu Yusen's directing, but what purpose to look at, it was not necessary.
Dream Quest
Director: Lee Unkridge / Adrian Molina
Writers: Lee Unkridge / Adrian Molina / Matthew Aldridge
Starring: Gayle García Bernal / Anthony Gonzalez / Benjamin Blatter / Renee Victor / Anna Ophelia Mogia / Jamie Camille / Sofia Espinosa
Genre: Comedy / Animation / Music / Adventure
Country of Production: United States
Pixar's new film, although it was only released in North America on November 22, but the current word of mouth has been very explosive, Douban 9.2 points, IMDB 9.2 points.
Rotten Tomatoes also has a 97% freshness rating of 8.1.
Feel what the reviews are saying.
"There's no doubt the whole world will go crazy for Dream Quest."
"Pixar has made another pinnacle."
"Although Pixar's influence is not as good as before, in this vivid and affectionate Dream Quest, you can see the soul of Pixar again."
So, what exactly is this movie about?
First, the Mexican element.
The colorful and bizarre mysterious world in the film is undoubtedly a large reference to Mexican culture, as well as the "Mexican Day of the Dead" mentioned by name.
Second, music.
Two male protagonists, one is a young boy who dreams of becoming a musician, and the other is a charming down-and-out musician in the mysterious world, Ecktor.
Third, family and affection.
Yes, Pixar's best warm skit seems to have been played to the extreme this time.
So much so that I flipped through the evaluations, and the audience who participated in the film viewing meeting said that they were crying blind...
All in all, really curious!
Brilliant this moment
Director: Chen Guo
Writers: Chen Guo
Starring: Zhang Jingxuan / Hao Lei / Lin Xue
The film was also suddenly announced, which caught people a little off guard.
However, rushing this lineup, I feel that I can still look forward to it.
Directed by Chen Guo, starring Zhang Jingxuan and Hao Lei.
In fact, it is a 2016 film, which was also released at the Macao Film Festival at that time. The plot is that the rural Latin dance teacher trains children to participate in dance competitions, and it is more appropriate for this role to be played by Zhang Jingxuan.
Of course, from other sources, although the lineup of this film is not bad, but, the quality, just ... So, be cautious.
Reasoning notes
Director: Zhang Tianhui
Writers: Zhang Tianhui
Starring: Chen Turing / Lin Baihong / Wang Duo / Hao Shaowen / Jin Shijie / Wang Gang
Genre: Drama / Suspense
This movie has also changed several times, and it is basically a very Japanese campus reasoning film.
Some very Japanese settings, what campus genius beautiful girls, handsome seniors, motorcycle teenagers and so on.
There is also the following cos Holmes reasoning club president, quite an overhead two-dimensional setting. It is worth mentioning that this person is a childhood memory of Hao Shaowen.
The other leading actors are basically young people, Chen Turing of "Left Ear"; Lin Baijie of "Six Lane Cafe", who also won the Golden Horse Best Supporting Actor; and Guo Jingming's Wang Duo.
It is worth looking forward to is that director Zhang Tianhui is the screenwriter of "The Pursuer", and the previous work "Goodbye Beijing" also has an 8.3 score in Douban.
In fact, from the trailer, the two-dimensional, science fiction, and youth suspense may be the focus of the plot, and the reasoning elements are not too obvious.
Anyway, from the early evaluation, it seems that it is still very general, and many people have sung down. But it is estimated that it will still be seen.
Assassination of the Gestapo
HHhH
Director: Cedric Gimenez
Writers: David Farr / Audrey Divan / Cedric Gimenez / Laurent Binet
Starring: Bae Chun-wah / Mia Wasikowska / Jason Clark / Jack O'Connell / Jack Leno
Genre: Drama / History / War
Country/Region of Production: France / United Kingdom / Belgium / United States
The evaluation is quite average, IMDB 6.4 points, Douban is only 6.5 points.
However, the actors are the more familiar Pei Chunhua, Mia Huaxikovoska of "Jane Eyre", and Jason Clark of "Desperate Altitude".
And Pei Chunhua plays a Nazi woman in the film, which feels like a more snake and scorpion girl, and it is quite atmospheric to watch the stills.
In fact, France produces several such anti-World War II films every year. It may be like our anti-Japanese films.
The film proposes a concept of "ape-like" action, the so-called "assassination of the Gestapo." Kirian Murphy had a "Operation Apes" in 2016, which is a similar story, and I believe many people have seen it.
People who are interested in the theme of World War II can pay attention to it, because it feels that the costumes and art of this movie will be a major attraction.
Witch Fighting Dragons
Skammerens' Daughter
Director: Kenneth Keynes
Writers: Annos Thomas Jensen / Lynn Carbel Poll
Starring: Rebecca Emily Satchup / Jacob Offordboro / Ellen Hyde / Maria Bonnievel / Soren Moring
Genre: Drama / Fantasy / Adventure
Country/Region of Production: Denmark / Norway / Czech Republic / Iceland
This is a Danish movie, released in 2015, and the current evaluation on Douban is very general.
IMDB also has only 6 points, and Rotten Tomatoes still has no reviews.
Western magic theme, you can see through the story of the soul witch looking for the murderer, the little actor is quite cute.
But from the evaluation point of view, it should still be a more routine children's movie.
Deadly calls
Cell
Director: Todd Williams
Writers: Adam Alleca / Stephen King
Starring: Samuel Jackson / John Cusack / Isabella Fuhrman / Stacy Kirch / Loyd Kaufman / Joshua Mikel
Genre: Sci-Fi / Thriller / Horror
An American movie in 2016, the evaluation can be said to be very tragic, Douban 4.6 points, IMDB 4.3 points.
Although, in fact, from the configuration point of view, it should not be a movie with such a bad rating.
Adapted from Stephen King's original book, the male protagonists are two old American drama bones Samuel Jackson and John Cusack.
And Isabella Fuhrman, the creepy little girl in "Orphans' Grudge"...
Even the setting is amazing, telling the story of "mobile phone zombies", that is, all the people who use mobile phones have become zombies and attack people everywhere.
It satirizes modern people with mobile phone disease, which can be said to be of great practical significance.
Therefore, it can only be said that a good hand of cards was actually broken, which is a pity.
Twenty-eight degrees north latitude
Director: Lu Qi / Ma Jianjun
Starring: Li Caihua / Li Yuan / Li Qinqin / Yu Yao / Cai Juntao / Zhou Haodong / Li Ming / Erma Yina / Zhang Yameng
Genre: Drama / Romance
I searched for movies with the northern latitude as the title, and there were probably so many.
Who brought up the bad habits!!!! Why is there so many degrees of north latitude!!! Do you have to make a movie every time!!! The geography teacher is going to hit someone!!!!
In short, as you can see, there are love films and terrible movies here, so they are collectively called terrible love geography films.
However, this should be the most complicated of all the terrible love geography films, because it includes, the love affair of the fourth life.
From the orchid fairy and Yamano Lang, to the lady of luxury and CaiCui, to the color sister and Tong Xingzhou, and the last Moshasha and Tong Nianxin.
You've worked really hard to come up with so many strange names!!!
In the end, I still feel very sorry, is this really Li Caihua, feeling this confused look, it simply looks like there is no aura.
Purple violet fragrance
Director: Yu Changjiang / Yu Le
Writers: Yu Le
Starring: Guo Jiulong / Guo Kaimin / Li Nan / Niu Ben / Jiang Shui / Hao Yan / Bai Dezhang
In fact, I was more interested in: how would Erkang react if Ziwei was fragrant?
This film mainly tells the story of Liu Chengrong, a veteran who has been retired for many years, who voluntarily went to the "Invalides Hospital" to take care of the disabled old comrades and the fathers of the comrades-in-arms, and has been raining for decades. In a mountaineering rescue, he and the "heroic" sister, the unlovable railway worker, the autistic female college student, the seemingly reckless Shandong Han dramatic acquaintance, and derived a series of touching volunteer group stories...
First of all, please open your eyes and take a closer look at this joyful, purple-lipped poster.
Please identify the "heroic" sister, the loveless railway worker, the autistic female college student, and the seemingly reckless Shandong Han from the poster.
Although I don't know if this uncle is a heroic sister, he is really too heroic!
So heroic that I almost didn't see it, the award certificate in his hand was actually P up.
Explode youth
Director: Mou Tianxiang
Writers: Mou Tianxiang / Liu Yimeng / He Jun / Zhang Huijia
Starring: Borgit / Bardo / Li Yuqin / Li Ruosi / He Qihang / Liu Zimo / Fan Weichen / Zhou Jianxin / Zhou Kai / Zhang Ying / Huang Siyue / Li Hao
Genre: Drama / Sports
This film mainly tells the story of Chen Feng, a college student majoring in mechanical and electrical engineering, who is clumsy and cowardly, and is the most unpopular student in the school.
One day, Chen Feng challenged Gao Xingxing, the second generation of the rich in the school, and accidentally fell into a waterfall without waking up.
Although I don't know why the challenge of the rich second generation fell into the waterfall, it is a college student and not Holmes.
However, a mechatronics student, falling into a waterfall, sounds as if it can conduct electricity.
It's really exploding.
July and a half 3: The seventh sense of touch
Director: Wang Liang
Starring: Luo Xiang / Wang Liang / Shi Jingzi / Miao Qing / Song Rui / Zhao Ji / Zeng Yilian / Tang Yiyuan
Type: Horror
Although we have been a long time since July and a half.
In fact, anyone with a little common sense will find that it is now November and a half.
After all, it's been four months. In other words, this film is likely to be illiterate.
However, it doesn't matter, in the domestic horror film, we can celebrate the ghost festival every day! Whether he is in November and a half or a half in July, pretending not to know the number, all of them are in July and a half.
Although, from the stills, I don't think everyone is celebrating ghost festivals.
Only to see, someone wrapped in a bathrobe.
Someone was standing in the shower.
There are also people taking bubble baths.
Maybe, it's a hygienic ghost festival
