The May Day holiday is coming, as a veteran movie fan, how can I miss this lively film market drama? Six blockbuster new films are gathered on May Day, and each one is worth savoring. If you miss out on these wonderful blockbusters, you will be a shame for your vacation!
The siege of the Kowloon Walled City
The new work "The Siege of the Walled City of Kowloon" directed by the dark film master Cheng Baorui was once again successfully shortlisted for the Cannes Film Festival with its very personal aesthetic style. This work not only gathers powerful actors such as Louis Koo and Ren Xianqi, but also invites kung fu superstar Sammo Hung to appear in the finale. The new generation of Xiao Xianrou Lin Feng, Liu Junqian and others also showed their skills in the film, staging shocking hand-to-hand combat. The dazzling fight scenes and the blood-boiling movie-watching experience make people addicted! No wonder the box office has broken the 60 million mark, and the Maoyan score is as high as 9.5 points. It seems that Hong Kong films are regaining the glory of the past!
Peacekeeping FPUs
Another high-burning action blockbuster that should not be missed is "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Squad". The film focuses on the mainland peacekeepers and realistically recreates one of their most dangerous missions. Faced with a frenzied massacre of terrorists, the police have to accomplish a seemingly impossible feat of rescue. Huang Jingyu and Wang Yibo, two new-generation actors, joined in and staged a tense and exciting showdown in the rain of bullets. It is reported that the explosion scenes in the film are all completed by real shooting, which will definitely make your adrenaline soar! A thrilling battle between good and evil is about to be staged on the big screen.
There's nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot
The comedy suspense film "There is nothing that can't be solved by a hot pot" stands out with a unique narrative perspective. "Golden Lotus Award Actor" Yu Qian joined hands with "Popular Little Flower" Yang Mi to play big tricks in two cramped spaces. Several strangers whose identities are a mystery are unexpectedly involved in a bizarre murder case, with constant reversals and full of jokes. Director Ding Sheng's ingenious script design and humorous lines are guaranteed to make you laugh throughout the whole process! Mr. Yu Qian's own comedy talent is the icing on the cake for the film. This film will undoubtedly become the strongest laughing fruit in the May 1st show!
A trip through the moon
The warm love movie "Journey Through the Moon" has taken a fresh literary route with a small budget production. The film tells the moving story of a young couple in a long-distance relationship who unexpectedly get a vacation and embark on a journey of love. Although there are no magnificent scenes and twists and turns, the film is delicate and moving, like a love letter for the beginning of love, and the words are full of love. This movie will undoubtedly become the best "must-see film for couples" on May Day, allowing you to relive the good memories of your first love.
The end of the road to spend money
The last comedy film, "Spending Money at the End of the Road", tells the wild story of a terminally ill "Iron Rooster" who suddenly decides to squander with his friends in the last days of his life with a unique humorous perspective. Jia Bing partnered with Xiao Shenyang, and the two laughing craftsmen collided together, full of jokes and burdens. A group of authentic Northeast men want to spend 1 million in 10 days, which is enough to arouse the curiosity of the audience. Some netizens quipped: "This is to do the 'aftermath' in advance!" I believe that with a strong creative lineup and unique humorous settings, this movie will definitely stage a "money ability" drama on May Day!
coincided with the May Day holiday, and the film and television company can be said to have done its best to launch the strongest lineup masterpieces, in order to grab the first place in this box office war. According to the data of Lighthouse Professional Edition, as of April 30, the total pre-sale box office (including screenings) of the May Day schedule in 2024 has exceeded 150 million. Among them, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" led with 63.8 million, "Peacekeeping Anti-riot Team" followed with 35.61 million, and "Journey Through the Moon" ranked third with 14.06 million. The total pre-sales of the three films have exceeded the 100 million yuan mark.
Looking at this May Day file, it can be said that the themes are rich and the types are diverse. Comedy, action, romance, suspense, there's something for everyone. Instead of crowding in scenic spots, it is better to buy a movie ticket and spend a wonderful vacation in the theater.
For this May Day, which can be described as a "fairy fight", I am personally most optimistic about "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" directed by Zheng Baorui. As a gangster action film with both artistic and commercial properties, it not only continues Director Zheng's consistent dark aesthetic style, but also brings together the most luxurious cast in history. I believe that with its outstanding quality and good market reputation, "The Siege of the Kowloon Walled City" is expected to become the biggest winner of May 1st, leading Hong Kong films back to the top!
Of course, each film has its own unique charm and audience. For ordinary audiences, the most important thing is to choose a film that suits their tastes and enjoy a perfect viewing experience in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.
