Last week, four blockbuster new films were announced one after another, including the comedy "Successor Plan" directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo and starring Shen Teng and Mary. "Retrograde Life" directed by Xú Zhēng and starring Xú Zhēng and Xin Zhilei; Wu Ershan directed the blockbuster "Under the Alien"; The Wild Child, directed by Yin Ruoxin and starring Karry.
Summer movie is one of the most important movies in mainland China every year. Although the short-term explosive power of box office is not as good as that of Spring Festival movie or even National Day movie, because it lasts for three months, the box office capacity exceeds all other movies.
Last summer, driven by a number of explosive films, such as "Put All Your Eggs", "Disappeared She", "Goddess of God Part I", "In an octagonal cage" and "Three Wan Li in Chang ‘an", the box office reached 20.62 billion yuan, a record high in the film history of China in the same period.
Among these four blockbuster new films, the comedy The Successor Plan, directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo and starring Shen Teng and Mary, is the most anticipated by the general audience. On June 15th, the film released a finalized poster and announced that it would be released nationwide on July 18th.
Moreover, this film is also the third comedy feature film jointly directed by Yan Fei and Peng Damo following the great success of goodbye mr. loser and The Richest Man in Xihong City. In addition, they also directed the "Liang Ma" unit in the film My People My Homeland, and co-produced the comedy "The Killer is Not Too Cold".
It is worth mentioning that the films jointly directed, supervised or co-directed by these two outstanding young comedy directors have never failed at the box office so far. This time, the "successor plan" hopes to maintain the previous level and bring joy to the national audience.
On June 12th, directed by Xú Zhēng, starring Xú Zhēng and Xin Zhilei, starring Lawrence Wang, especially starring Jia Bing, starring Feng Bing, Wu Jiakai, Mikan Ryu, Ding Yongdai, Ding Jiali and Chen Halin, Huang Xiaolei’s new realistic work "Retrograde Life" was officially released on August 9th.
On the other hand, in the Internet age, the delivery man has become the "most familiar stranger" in the daily life of people all over the country, especially young people, and is closely related to the lives of hundreds of millions of people. However, there are few film and television works focusing on them. What kind of story does "Retrograde Life" tell, which is both curious and expected.
On June 13th, the fantasy action blockbuster "Under the Aliens" directed by Wu Ershan was officially released on July 26th. The film was written by Wu Ershan, wanglili and Sun Jiayu, and starred by Hu Xianxu, Vanda Lee, William Feng, Qiao Zhenyu, Song Ningfeng, Na Ran, Na Naxi, Lanxi, Xiong Wenwen, Wu Jiakai and Wang Jinsong.
The drama Wild Child, which was announced on June 15th, received less attention than the first three films. It was directed by Yin Ruoxin, director of My Sister, written by Xu Yizhou, starring Karry, and starring Deng Jiajia, Chen Yongsheng and Pan Binlong.
Among the films that have been announced before, the editorial department of Movie and Television Vane is optimistic about the box office potential of four films: There is a canteen by the cloud, Legend, Daddy Thief 4 and White Snake: Floating Life.
On June 22nd, There’s a Snack Shop by the Cloud was written and directed by Zhang Jiajia, starring Peng Yuchang, Zhou Ye, Ai Liya, Chen Xianen, Kong Lianshun and Zhang Yifan, and adapted from Zhang Jiajia’s novel of the same name.
The film has a high degree of attention, and the number of people who want to see it exceeds 500,000. It is the film with the largest number of people who want to see it in the summer file so far. In 2016, the film Passing Through Your World, directed by Zhang Yibai and adapted from Zhang Jiajia’s novel of the same name, took 813 million yuan at the box office.
The uncertainty of There’s a Canteen by the Cloud was directed by Zhang Jiajia himself. Zhang Jiajia’s "The Ferry Man" has a bad reputation. Can he break through himself and be a good director this time?
The fantasy adventure action film Legend, which was released on July 12th, was directed and written by Tang Jili, starring Jackie Chan, LAY, Naza and Aarif Lee, especially starring Jerry Lee, specially starring Peng Xiaoran, starring Dou Xiaoyou, and especially starring Zheng Yecheng. It tells the story that Professor Chen, played by Jackie Chan, led an expedition to the glacier temple to explore the truth in his dream.
In recent years, almost every summer, explosive animated films have emerged. In this summer’s file, the editorial department of Movie and Television Vane is most optimistic about two Chinese and foreign cartoons, White Snake: A Floating Life and Daddy Thief 4.
White Snake: A Floating Life, which was released on August 10th, was produced by light-chasing animation, directed by Chen Jianxi and Li Jiakai, and written by Wei Wang. It is the third part of the series of White Snake. The story follows the end of White Snake: The Origin, and tells the story that after Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing find the reincarnation of A Xuan, Xiao Bai and Xu Xian finally become husband and wife, but Fa Hai wants to stop them from being together.
Daddy Thief 4, which was released on July 12th, is a sequel to Hollywood animation IP, which is popular among China audiences. The first three movies are better than the last one. In July 2017, the box office of "Stealing Daddy 3" was as high as 1.037 billion yuan.
In addition, the gangster film Customs Front (released on July 5) directed by Qiu Litao and starring Jacky Cheung and Nicholas Tse, the domestic cartoon Deep Sea Dragon of Erlang God (released on July 13), and the Hollywood cartoon Brain Task Force 2 (released on June 21) can also be concerned.
In addition, there are two major domestic films that have attracted much attention, which are expected to be released in the summer file, namely "Jiang Yuan Nong" and "Decryption".
Directed by Chen Kexin, written by Shi Ling, Jiang Feng and Shang Yang, starring Zhang Ziyi, Eric Wang, Jackson Yee and Mei Ting, The Lane in the Soy Sauce Garden tells the story of Zhan Zhoushi in Xinchang Road, Shanghai, who killed her husband Zhan Yunying with a knife and dismembered her body after years of abuse.
It has been recognized that Eric Wang is a good actor. Jackson Yee is a hot young idol and powerful star in recent years. Mei Ting’s face value and acting skills are impeccable. This theme and the main lineup make the film attract much attention.
"Decryption" is based on the novel of the same name by the famous writer Mai Jia, directed by Chen Sicheng, written by Chen Sicheng and Christopher MacBride, starring Haoran Liu, Daniel Wu and Chen Daoming, and tells the story of a mathematical genius cracking the password.
For the mainland film market in China, the annual box office performance of summer movies is very important. I look forward to the early emergence of explosive films in this summer’s summer file, which will help the national box office to by going up one flight of stairs on the basis of last year.
