Okay, next, will the market for cinema films be slightly better?
After all, next week will usher in the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday (Saturday on the 18th, holiday on the 19th-21st), and next, the National Day file will also come.
In any case, there is always a major period, and some films that have been waiting for a long time are finally going to be released. In short, the next domestic theater line, there are still some highlights. Including this Mid-Autumn Festival, there are also many films released.
So, let's take a look at what new theater films will be released this week.
"Peak Explosion"
September 17
The film chose to be released this Friday, of course, running for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and from the perspective of lineup and production, this is indeed the most box office appeal this week.
The film is also a relatively scarce type of domestic cinema film, that is, a disaster film. As a very mature blockbuster genre in Hollywood, in fact, we have not made much in the past. But this "Peak Explosion" does bring together a lot of elements of disaster films.
The plot summary of the film can also be felt: when a tunnel built for ten years is about to be completed, affected by global geological changes, a series of geological disasters such as ground cracks, earthquakes, landslides, mudslides and so on are roaring, the tunnel and the entire county are in danger, Lao Hong (played by Huang Zhizhong), Xiao Hong (played by Zhu Yilong) Father and son stand up in a desperate situation, how do they survive this life-and-death crisis with 160,000 people?
The director of this film, Li Jun, is also keen to do some genre films, such as the previous "Earth-shattering Reversal", which is also a small surprise. This film is also an attempt to do some disaster and thrilling elements, including underground escape, or the fear of the chamber of secrets, quite oppressive.
The presentation of Huang Zhizhong and Zhu Yilong in the father-son relationship is actually a major attraction of this film.
Domestic disaster films, there are still many ways to go, and this one, after all, is a heartfelt attempt.
"All About My Mother"
September 19
This film chose to be released on Sunday, which is also a proper target for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course, this film is also suitable for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Because, the theme of this film is actually family affection, focusing on the relationship between mother and daughter.
The story is a kind of more melodrama setting, and the official plot summary can also be felt: Mother Ji Peizhen (Xu Fan) is the soul of this family, and she can take care of everyone like a fen-body technique.
Underneath her all-encompassing, the home looks orderly, but it's not. In the eyes of her mother Ji Peizhen, her daughter Li Xiaomei (Zhang Jingyi) is always the best, but she does not know that there is another side to her work and life in Beijing. How resistant the daughter is to her mother's control, Ji Peizhen is even more unaware. Doctor husband Li Wenfang (Xu Yajun) has not been able to pick up the scalpel because of a mistake a few years ago. The mother-in-law suffers from Alzheimer's disease and cannot take care of herself... Just as a teacher, Ji Peizhen has just retired, and seems to be relieved to have more time of her own, but she was diagnosed with a malignant tumor stage IV. If mom has only four months left to live, how can the family's life continue?
It was probably after the mother learned of the terminal illness that she began to re-examine the mother-daughter relationship and the mother's position in the family.
Therefore, the relationship between Xu Fan and Xu Yajun, as well as the comparison of each other's status, can also be paid attention to, although this is a very hidden clue, but it is worth exploring.
It is that kind of sensational film, there should still be friends who like it.
"Swim until the water turns blue"
The documentary directed by Jia Zhangke has finally been finalized, and the film was unveiled at the Berlin Film Festival at the beginning of last year, and then screened at the Pingyao Film Festival.
If you like Jia Zhangke, or are interested in some domestic writers, this documentary can still be watched.
In May 2019, dozens of writers came to a small village in Fenyang, Shanxi Province, where they talked about countryside and cities, literature and reality. The film takes this as a prelude, symphonically telling the story of China since 1949 in 18 chapters.
Three writers, Jia Pingwa, Yu Hua and Liang Hong, born in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, became the most important narrators of the film, and together with the daughter of the late writer Ma Feng, they refocused their attention on the individual and family in the midst of social change, making the film a 70-year history of the Chinese psyche.
The advantage of chatting with writers is that everyone is very good at expressing, and occasionally a few golden sentences will be exploded, especially Yu Hua, which is very interesting.
Pearl
September 15
This film was released on the special line of the National Art Film Alliance and is a Cantonese film about Guangzhou.
The whole film is also deliberately very small in the pattern, that is, to focus on contemporary urban people, a single woman of forty years old, her emotions and troubles.
Synopsis: In order to fulfill her mother's last wishes, Sister Pearl plans to find a boyfriend within a month, that is, before her forty birthday. At this time, her work also fell into a low ebb, and she felt the pain of anxiety and insomnia. It also allowed her to meet a series of less reliable men, with some unexpected stories. At night, Sister Pearl wanders in this colorful city of Guangzhou, looking for a life and enthusiasm that she subconsciously does not want to accept or lose.
If you like niche films, especially the audience, you can pay attention to this film, or it is still very local.
"My Youth Has You"
This is a youth romance film, originally known as "Grass Like Years", based on the novel "Grass Like Years", this book was still quite popular that year, and many friends have read it, which is also a story of hurt youth.
The heroine Wang Keru once participated in "Fanghua" that year, I don't know if everyone has an impression, and then she also starred in films such as "My Boxing King Boyfriend".

"The Villain Country of the Classic of Mountains and Seas"
In this cartoon, the directors are two foreigners, but it seems that the story is our story again.
Synopsis You see: The film is based on the legend of the Zhou Rao Villain Kingdom recorded in the ancient Chinese mythological story "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", which tells the story of the prince of the Zhou Rao Villain Kingdom, Hammer wood, who broke into a catastrophe in an accident, causing his father to become a stone statue, and finally experienced adventures along the way to re-save his father and the kingdom.
However, this painting style is too un-Chinese, and I will not associate it with the Classic of Mountains and Seas anyway.
