After the Lantern Festival, it is a sting, and spring has quietly arrived. The big screen in spring does not have the strong commercial atmosphere of the Lunar New Year stalls, nor the fierce fighting atmosphere of the Spring Festival stalls, and the slightly relaxed schedule allows people to have time to calm down and choose one or two favorite movies to taste slowly. A word "love" can sum up the theme of this spring's big screen. Although there are also a small number of special effects and action in the released films, most of them mainly play the emotional card. Among them, there are both "Beijing New York" and "Let's Get Married", which show romantic love, "Lost Orphans", "Hurricane Rescue 3", "Lovely You", which depict family affection, and "Fast and Furious 7" and "Wolf Warrior", which highlight friendship.
Love
Several love-themed movies released this spring have their own characteristics. "Beijing New York", released on March 6, was led by Liu Ye and Lin Zhiling to perform a "farthest and most beautiful long-distance relationship". Lin Chiling and Liu Ye played a pair of lovers of green plum bamboo horses, and later Lin Chiling went to the other side of the ocean alone to develop, and Liu Ye stayed in the mainland to run his own business. Years later, the two who have achieved fame reunite, and they want to continue the frontier, but it is difficult to give up their current lovers. The film attempts to explore whether love can withstand the double test of time and space, and how the collision of different cultures and the interweaving of different circumstances have brought changes to two people who love each other.
Released on April 2, "Let's Get Married" explores the attitudes of urban men and women towards love and marriage. The film is directed by Liu Jiang, the director of the hit TV series of the same name, and co-starred gao Yuanyuan, Jiang Wu, Li Chen, Zheng Kai, Guo Biting, Chen Yihan and many other stars. Gao Yuanyuan said that the leaves she played in the movie version and the peach in the TV series version are women with very different personalities. "Ye Zi is more proud and more personal, and her marriage attitude is: 'Leftover' is because of excellence."
"Everything Grows" will let the audience see the budding love, scheduled to be released on April 24, adapted from Feng Tang's novel of the same name, directed by Li Yu, co-starring Han Geng and Fan Bingbing. The film continues the original style, with the three asshole loves experienced by the male protagonist Qiushui played by Han Geng as the main line, supplemented by multiple narrative clues, showing the unrestrained youth of a group of 20-year-old medical school boys. Producer Fang Li once said that "All Things Grow" is not a small fresh, but a heavy taste.
Affection
What can be compared with unforgettable love is also a strong family affection. The South Korean movie "Flutter My Life," which will be released on March 13, tells the story between "the youngest parents and the oldest children." A pair of young parents, Played by Song Huiqiao and Kang Dong-won, Mei Luo and Dae-so, accidentally give birth to their son Ah Rin (Cao Chengmu) in the summer of 17. The couple devoted everything they could to care for Ah Rin, who suffered from Congenital Progeria, but Ah Rin's body still aged at a rate of 10 times that of ordinary people.
"Lost Alone" and "Lovely You", which will be released on March 20, are two other films that interpret family stories. In contrast, "Lost Alone", directed by Peng Sanyuan and starring Andy Lau and Jing Bairan, is heavier. The film, based on true news events, tells the story of a rural father, Lei Zekuan, who has been searching for a child for 15 years; "Lovely You" tells the story of Principal Lui, played by Miriam Yang, who, with the support of her husband, helps the soon-to-be-closed kindergarten to get a new life and helps five children facing different family problems to achieve a happy life.
Also released on March 20, Hurricane Rescue 3 wraps the core of a family film under the shell of an action movie. In this episode, the old agent played by Liam Neeson is not only faced with the dilemma of his daughter being kidnapped, but also because he fell into the elaborate trap of the criminal group and was wronged by killing his wife.
camaraderie
In addition to love and family affection, friendship is also an indispensable element of the big screen. Released on April 2, "Wolf Warrior" is the film directorial debut written and directed by action star Wu Jing. Wu Jing played the special soldier Leng Feng in the film. Leng Feng is capable but untamed, and still refuses to admit his mistake after being imprisoned after defying military orders, but he takes great care of his comrades when he leads the team, and stages a Chinese version of the "death squad" with several brothers.
The imported film "Fast and Furious 7", which was released on April 12, is a model of brotherhood. As soon as the film opens, Ian Shaw (jason Statham), the younger brother of the main villain Owen Shaw, takes revenge and kills Han (played by Kang Sung-ho). The Biker family, led by Van Diesel, naturally wants to avenge their brother and retaliate against Ian Shaw. It is worth mentioning that in the filming of the film, one of the leading actors, Paul Walker, died unexpectedly in a car accident, and Universal Pictures could only find Paul Walker's two younger brothers, Cody Walker and Caleb Walker, to act as his stand-in and complete the scenes he did not finish before his death. As a result, Fast and Furious 7 is also a legacy by Paul Walker, whose image in the film was composed of a stand-in and post-effects.
