More than half of the summer season.
At present, only "Catching Dolls" and "Silent Killing" have exploded at the box office.
others, "Deadpool and Wolverine" and "Minions 4" played steadily; "Under the Alien" fell short of expectations; "Falling Dust" has a leading reputation, but the box office has only reached 35 million so far......
In the second half, will there be a second-stage rocket to provide thrust in the summer file?
The August field is optimistic——
Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century
Release time: August 2
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director/Screenwriter: Li Yang
Starring: Zhang Ruoyun / Zhong Chuxi / Song Yang / Wu Xiaoliang
A dark horse that has been passed down for a long time.
Li Yang, in 2009, an independent animated short film "The Adventures of Li Xianji" became famous.
Collage style, literary taste, postmodern, and most importantly, emotional truth.
In short, the comment area is full of "Niu X".
"21st Century" is director Li Yang's first feature film work.
Time and space travel, overhead aliens, but compared to science fiction, watching the trailer, the most eye-catching thing is the "convulsion" of the infinite meme collage.
Let you experience eating mushrooms on an empty stomach.
On the premiere day, director Guo Fan said: "This movie is an easter egg of Chinese films. ”
Whether it is the two-dimensional play stalk too much, or the unquiet madness hitting the hearts of the young people at the moment, wait and see.
Anyway, I've never seen anything like this in a movie theater, that's right.
Slam Dunk
Release time: August 3
Expected Value: ★★★
Director / Screenwriter: Yuhiko Inoue
Starring : Sogo Nakamura / Jun Kasa / Subaru Kimura
Yesterday's basketball match between Japan and France at the Olympics.
Yuki Kawamura, who is only 172cm tall, scored 29 points alone, and although he lost to France in the end, the applause of the whole world was given to the Japan team.
Netizens said that this is not the live-action version of "Slam Dunk"?
When "Slam Dunk" was popular, many of the Japan basketball players of this class had not yet been born. Over the years, Japan has gone from being a basketball laggard to being the number one in Asia.
Comics have not only become the memory of a generation, but also integrated into the present and the future.
The movie, which was released in April last year, swept the box office of 600 million.
Now that it's re-screened, it's too good at choosing the time.
Last month's re-screening of "Your Name." "Quietly, another 123 million was earned.
What will happen to "Slam Dunk" this time depends on whether the fans cheer for it or not.
Decryption
Release time: August 3
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director: Chen Sicheng
Starring: Liu Haoran / John · Cusack / Chen Daoming / Wu Yanzu / Yu Feihong
The man who can stir up the domestic box office is back.
This time, it is a major transformation of Chen Sicheng, and Liu Haoran's image has also been transformed.
The original work of the Mai family, period drama + spy war.
This time, Chen Sicheng combined the wonders of dreams.
How to combine irrational dreams and rational eras, can it convey the cruelty of genius legends? As a reminder, it will work better when viewed with IMAX.
"Retrograde Life"
Release time: August 9
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director: Xu Zheng
Starring: Xu Zheng / Xin Zhilei / Wang Xiao / Jia Bing / Feng Bing
Unemployment, protests, car accidents.
The last straw that crushed the lives of middle-aged people, coupled with Xu Zheng's familiar "pocket face".
Xu Zheng returned to realism and directed it himself.
The middle-aged urban elite laid off workers to deliver food and rediscovered the wealth they had in their hands, but in the turbulent present, it was just a passing moment.
It's real, and it's painful.
△ Xing Bin, a teacher at the School of Liberal Arts, Linyi University, Shandong Province, "In the winter of 2022, I delivered food in Linyi City"
But for such an unstoppable and unbreakable reality, we will wait and see how much the movie can convey.
"Another Day of Hope"
Release time: August 9
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Liu Taifeng
Starring: Song Ningfeng / Zhang Xinyi / Guo Keyu
Another movie about a delivery rider was released on the same day.
A more brutal perspective: how to hold the delivery man accountable for the car accident? Can we talk about the dangers of the industry?
Slogan is ambitious: "who is creating value".
White Snake: Floating Life
Release time: August 10
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Chan Kin Hei / Lee Ka Kai
Starring: Yang Tianxiang / Zhang Zhe / Tang Xiaoxi
Qixi file, the first baton of light-chasing animation relay.
The third work of the "White Snake" IP. The first part is solid, the second part is deconstructed, I don't know what new tricks will be played this time?
The picture, from the smoke and rain of West Lake to the spell duel, there is no problem with the technology.
There is also the brilliant appearance of Baoqing Fang Owner and Fahai.
The story of the series seems to have entered the most critical moment.
"Negative Negative Positive"
Release time: August 10
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director: Wen Shipei
Starring: Zhu Yilong / Qiu Tian / Jiang Qiming / Zhu Zhu / Wang Yitong / Chen Minghao
Qixi is an unconventional romance literary film.
Zhu Yilong made another literary attempt, and his style was still blue hair.
With Qiu Tian's red hair, emmmm, the sexual transformation of "Forest Ice and Fire Man"?
The director's previous work "Once Upon a Time in the Tropics" filmed the hot and humid summer in a small town in Guangdong.
And this time, the atmosphere of urban emotions is not less.
Domestic romance films have finally filmed the push and pull of adults, hesitating? "Avoidant attachment"?
Curious.
Also worried-
The domestic market has not had a blockbuster romance film for a long time.
Audience, are you still so interested in love?
"Her Little Pear Vortex"
Release time: August 10
Expected Value: ★★
Director: Cai Cong
Starring: Zhang Zhehua / Qi Yuchen
No, the most common romance film in the Qixi file is here again.
The ambiguity between a transfer student in the south and a school bully in the northeast, adapted from a novel by Jinjiang.
It is said that those who have read the original IP text have cut out three bedrooms and one living room.
This can't be the live-action version of "Little Potatoes in the South" and "Here Comes Your Shore".
Fortunately, however, the production team took a different approach.
It is a comedy path that popularizes the culture of the Northeast.
Can it be successfully oiled? Perhaps, it would be more marketable to change the name.
Alien: Death Ship
Release time: August 16
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director: Federated · Alvarezli
Starring: Carly · Spaniey / Isabella · Mosed / Archie · Reno / David · Youngson / Spike · Finn
"Three years and three years, I'm finally waiting for you, Old Lei!"
"Father of Aliens" Ridley · Scott returned to executive production and teamed up with "Scary Call" and "Hold Your Breath" horror new directors.
This time it tells the story of a group of young space colonists trapped in the space station between the timelines of "Alien 1" and "Alien 2".
The director said that even if you haven't seen the previous work, you can understand it.
What is familiar is the unique industrial style of the space horror theme.
And, close contact with the face-hugging insects.
Even more, when the alien cub matures, it bursts out of the host's chest cavity and kills the host.
There are also die-hard fans who feel that the cold-toned killing flavor is gone, and the age of the protagonist group has also decreased.
△ The dark green tone of the 1979 version of "Alien".
But watching the trailer, Sir still feels that it is strong enough.
Anyway, this is the third R-rated blockbuster introduced in China this year, and the poster also has a warning that "underage audiences choose to watch carefully".
Let's hope that's what you say.
Dream of Red Mansions: The Golden and Jade Romance
Release time: August 16
Expected Value: ★★
Director: Hu Mei
Starring: Lin Peng / Lu Yan / Bian Cheng / Zhang Miaoyi / Huang Jiarong
As soon as the trailer came out, controversy arose.
"How can anyone dare to shoot "Dream of Red Mansions" now?"
Who dares to lead?
To be honest, if you don't watch the trailer, just looking at the director, Sir is still looking forward to it.
Directed by Hu Mei, he has filmed masterpieces such as "Yongzheng Dynasty" (9.4) and "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" (9.2).
In addition, a generation must have a generation of classics, and you can't blindly stay in the 87 version of "White Moonlight".
But after reading the trailer, Sir still couldn't help but gasp.
No, how did our family Qin Keqing become like this......
Let's look at the casting of the leading actors, can you guess who is Daiyu, who is Baochai, and who Guan Xiaotong plays.
Looking at the introduction, this version of "Dream of Red Mansions" wants to talk about "conspiracy and love", that is, how Wang Xifeng embezzled Sister Lin's family property and how she designed to betray Bao Dai's love......
If you're brave, you can give it a try.
But also have the antidote ready.
In case of uncomfortable symptoms, remember to take the 87 version of "Dream of Red Mansions" in time to eliminate fire and detoxify......
One Piece: The Mighty
Release time: August 23
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Sohisa Sakai
Starring: Mayumi Tanaka / Akemi Samura / Kazuya Nakai / Kohei Yamaguchi / Yoshiaki Hirata
One Piece has been around for 25 years.
This summer, the critically acclaimed theatrical version of the One Piece series debuted on the big screen in the mainland.
The author of the original work, Eiichiro Oda, personally handled it, with a high score of 8.6, and the Straw Hats fought the Golden Lion Siqi.
What's more, the famous scene of all the suits is from this one.
Seeing this scene, I believe that the pirate fans must be on fire!
"I don't have any subordinates on my ship, only partners", the pirate universe is still there, I wonder if everyone is still willing to make up a movie ticket for youth memories?
"Suppose, I am the person who loves you the most in this world"
Release time: August 23
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Liu Fenfen
Starring: Tong Liya / Huang Minghao
Tong Liya plays mahjong with her feet?
This operation made Sir call him a good guy.
Funny?
No, it's the story of an armless sister who rescues a baby with her hearing-impaired brother.
It's a bit like the handicapped warm version of "My Sister".
The subject matter is a good theme, but can this kind of realistic movie really fall into reality and get rid of the inherent mode of tasting superficially.
It's still a challenge.
"Collision ·"
Release time: August 23
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Jiang Jiachen
Starring: Li Jiuxiao / Wang Qianyuan / Pan Binlong / Yang Haoyu
Daring! actually complained about the national football team against the diplodocus?
Of course, because it's a rugby story.
Produced by Guan Hu, adapted from the true story of Chongqing's "dock workers" forming a rugby team.
The grass stage team exploded to change the champion partner, and staged the uncles who overcame obstacles on the sports track.
There is a high concentration of comedy acquaintances, and friends who like comedy should not miss it.
is the same as "If, I am the person who loves you the most in the world", both in Chongqing dialect.
I have to say that there are really more and more dialect film and television dramas, and Chongqing dialect is the first choice.
It's a little tired.
"Liquidation"
Release time: August 24
Expected Value: ★★★
Director: Zhang Yudi
Starring: Bian Cheng / Zhou Meijun / Chen Shaoxi / Xu Shixin / Zhang Chi
A youth film with a Peking Opera shell.
The Peking Opera element of the opera actors' voice change "reversal" is kneaded into the theme of gender anxiety and youth confusion.
It can be regarded as providing a new perspective for youth films.
Shortlisted for the main competition unit of the FIRST Youth Film Festival, he won the best screenplay.
The Whisperer
Release time: August 31
Expected Value: ★★★★
Director/Screenwriter: Feng Du / Zhao Qing
Starring: Hu Xin / Wu Simu / He Yanxin
Speaking of Nüshu, Sir immediately thought of Li Bingbing and Jun Ji-hyun in "Snowflake Secret Fan" by girls help girls.
And Nüshu - a special script that is only used among women.
It was an important tool for them to communicate their feelings in that era.
This first-ever documentary film on Nüshu traces its roots and explores the inheritance of Nüshu from a modern perspective.
Shortlisted for Best Documentary Feature at the 95th Academy Awards.
However, is it a feminist film that really looks at the current predicament of women, or a mediocre "shouting slogan" documentary.
Sir is worried about the latter.
Finish writing a new film in August.
To sum up, Sir will definitely go to see it:
"Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century", "Decryption", "Retrograde Life", "White Snake: Floating Life", "Negative Positive", "Alien: Deadly Ship".
Whether you're satisfied or not, that's all for the movies to look forward to this summer.
Although there is still something to see.
But compared with last year, this year's summer file is really a bit bleak-
The explosive model was downgraded, from 3.5 billion "All or Nothing" to 2.4 billion "Catching Dolls";
The number of popular models has decreased, coupled with "Disappearing Her", 3.5 billion+ double hits were born last year, and this year, except for "Catching the Doll", the others are all weak.
Last year's "strongest summer file" ended with a box office of 20.6 billion, and if you want to turn the tables in August, who will act as the hero to save the market?
