new mainstream films continue to attract hot discussion
The new mainstream films that have received widespread attention in the past year continue to make efforts in this year’s Spring Festival, which makes many viewers feel “particularly angry”.
“Shuimen bridge of Changjin Lake” echoes with “Changjin Lake” in narrative. Many viewers choose to enter the cinema on the first day of the Lunar New Year and feel the deep feelings of family and country in the vast war scene. “From positional warfare to encounter warfare, the scene is too burning!” “The ‘Changjin Lake’ series of films let us cherish the beautiful moment more.” Many viewers commented like this after watching the film.
Yu Dong, chairman of Bona film group and chief producer of shuimen bridge in Changjin lake, believes that the battle of shuimen bridge in Changjin Lake battle, as the key of the battle, is of great significance. Many suspenses left in the previous work “Changjin Lake” can also be found in “shuimen bridge of Changjin Lake”. The two works complement each other and achieve each other.
The new mainstream films of this year’s Spring Festival are not limited to “head” blockbusters. The sniper directed by Zhang Yimou and Zhang Mo shows the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea from a unique perspective, with strong drama tension; Director Wen Muye’s “miracle stupid child” focuses on the entrepreneurial story in Shenzhen in the new era. With the struggling spirit of “little people” and high concentration of emotional elements, the film’s simple expression of family affection and friendship has won many high praise.
Liu Haibo, a professor at Shanghai Film Co.Ltd(601595) College of Shanghai University, believes that the completion of sniper and miracle stupid child is very high. They are works with excellent technology and vivid narration. The two films focus on the fate of individuals in the big era, including the cruelty of gun to gun and bullet to bullet, as well as the discussion on life and survival, which provides a lot of experience for the creation of new mainstream films in the future.
several films have made outstanding box office achievements
From the box office data, although “shuimen bridge of Changjin Lake” is “the first” in the spring festival film, it is not “one dominant”. “This killer is not too calm”, “miracle · stupid child”, “bear haunt · return to earth” and other films have made remarkable box office achievements.
“From the box office data distribution of the film, the audience’s viewing choice of this year’s Spring Festival is more rational, not chasing a film as in the past.” Rao Shuguang, President of China Film Co.Ltd(600977) comment society, said.
Many viewers said that this year’s Spring Festival films have various themes, rich types and strong selectivity. Going to the cinema to watch movies has become an important option for them to enrich their spiritual and cultural life during the Spring Festival holiday.
genre films pursue innovation and breakthrough
Comedies and cartoons have always been important types of films during the Spring Festival, and this year is no exception. Among them, the two national animation IP themes of “pleasant goat” and “bear haunt” have become the “main force” of Spring Festival animated films, and seek new breakthroughs on the basis of the series of films, bringing new viewing experience to the audience.
The film “pleasant goat and grey wolf out of the future” takes up the “sports style” and tells the hot-blooded basketball game in the animal world. “Bear haunt · return to earth” brings the story to outer space, and adds many science fiction elements such as interstellar adventure and mecha battle. From story setting to expression, the two animation IPS are constantly innovating to achieve a better effect of “dialogue” with the audience, and turn a good reputation into a good box office performance.
“This killer is not too calm” integrates many elements such as the homophonic title of the film and the “laughing fruit” made by small people through “transformation”, bringing a full sense of humor. The emotional expression of the story is consistent with the spring festival atmosphere in which the audience pursues “family happiness”.
In addition, Han Han’s “Four Seas” continues its consistent creative style, continues to pay attention to the dreams and struggles of young people in the town, and the characters’ language is full of black humor, providing another viewing choice for the audience.
