After the official announcement of the movie Flame on the Plain, the new films released this week include Love Myth, Phantom of the Lonely Mountain, You at that time, Snow in the Spring, and Animal Talk Boy in the Fantasy Forest. Among them, only "Love Myth" performed well, and the box office broke 10 million on the first day.
In terms of single-day box office, manslaughter 2, Love Myth and Lion Boy ranked in the top three, while manslaughter 2′ s total box office has exceeded 500 million.
Although the smoke of Christmas stalls has gradually dispersed, the horn of New Year’s Day stalls has sounded ahead of time. "Hug You Through the Cold Winter" was selected for screening on December 24th, and the main creative staff returned to Wuhan, Hubei Province to hold the premiere of 32 City Clouds, and its single-day box office performance ranked fourth.
"Anti-Corruption Storm 5" released on New Year’s Day was also screened in some cities this weekend. The entry "Louis Koo is worried that Jessica Hester Hsuan will hurt others by slapstick" is even more popular in Weibo.
Manslaughter 2
"manslaughter 2" made a comeback, relying on the IP adaptation of overseas classic movies, but once again the story fell into an overseas Chinese community in an overhead environment. Although compared with the first film, the plot of "manslaughter 2" is not directly connected and continued, but Lin Rilang, played by Shawn, is still a father who is duty-bound to stand in front of his family and is willing to give everything to save his son.
Recently, Shawn, who has just turned 30, accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from The Paper in Beijing. He admits that in recent years, he has often thought about the nature of being an actor and devoted almost all his energy to performance. "manslaughter 1" was the first time I was invited to play the leading role in a drama. It was a challenge for me, and it was also a turning point later. I really like Sheep Without A Shepherd’s story, because there are too many warm and realistic films in the film market at present, but there are relatively few films that criticize realism. I think the Sheep Without A Shepherd series is very valuable in this regard. " Shawn said.

Lion boy
This is a film with obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantages, such as the innovation of theme and painting style, the expression of spiritual core, the high-burning emotional explosion point and excellent production, are remarkable. The shortcomings are still in the overall drama, especially in the first half, which is full of "routine" narrative. The function of each scene is like completing the task in stages, and the design of lines is too functional and full of preaching.
Without the climax of the last chapter, the audience’s emotions will enter a high point, and then the film will be brought to a successful conclusion, and the impression of the whole film will actually collapse greatly. And losing the realistic aesthetic expression boosted by strong emotions may not be able to reach the initial heart of that teenager.
Stills of "Lion Boy"
However, we must be happy to see this kind of animation become the next explosion. After all, the road to "the rise of the country" is long, and only the animation world of the Monkey King, Nezha and White Snake really makes people feel a little tired.

Love myth
As a movie with a lot of fireworks in it, it can be called "Friends of Shanghai Style". The Love Myth, which speaks Shanghai dialect all the time, was officially released on December 24th.
As a film shot in Shanghai, the actors in Love Myth are either native Shanghainese, such as Xú Zhēng, Ma Yili, wuyue and Zhou Yemang, or from the south, and they have a lot of fate with Shanghai. Ni Hongjie graduated from Tongji University. Ning Li, an actor who plays the shoemaker in friendship in the film, was born in Beijing, but he was an alumnus of Xú Zhēng and others.
Xú Zhēng
When talking about the breakthrough of genre films, Xú Zhēng, the producer and leading actor of the film, said: "I don’t think this market should only have blockbusters or single genre films. The style and texture of contemporary cities are necessary. "Love Myth" is a very contemporary work, showing diversity and richness, which is very important in the current market. "
Before the film was released, Xú Zhēng accepted an exclusive interview with The Paper and talked about his understanding of middle-aged love and Shanghai.

Animal talk boy in the fantasy forest
China and Pakistan’s first co-produced animated film "The Boy of the Animal Language in the Fantasy Forest" will be released nationwide on December 25th.
The film story comes from the ancient legend on the border between China and Pakistan-whoever saves the goat with twisted horns will gain the ability to communicate with animals and become the guardian of the forest. Araya, a brave little boy, gained the ability to talk to animals endowed by ancient legends after saving the goat caught by hunters. On the way to escort the goat home, he made friends with owls, snow leopards and other partners. They experienced a fantastic adventure through unity and cooperation, and finally successfully escorted the goat home and gained friendship.
Poster of "The Beast Boy of Fantasy Forest"
The year 2021 marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. The Beastboy in the Fantasy Forest embodies the common cultural concepts of "friendship", "courage" and "sharing weal and woe", and integrates the common values of China and Pakistan and their people in protecting nature, respecting heaven and loving people, being positive and optimistic, and pursuing justice.
At the premiere of the film in Beijing, Pakistani Ambassador to China Moine Huck said in his speech that "The Beast Boy in the Fantasy Forest" is the first animated film jointly produced by China and Pakistan, which is of great significance to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Pakistan. "The main character of the film is the’ national treasure’ animal of Pakistan, just like the giant panda of China. The film well publicized the culture of Pakistan, showed the measures to protect wild animals and exposed the illegal hunting of wild animals. I hope that more Pakistani films will be released in China in the future, introducing the customs of Pakistan and continuously strengthening exchanges between the two peoples. "

Fierce knife in the snow
After the broadcast of "Knife in the Snow", the martial arts drama was almost a one-sided bad review, coupled with some slack rhythm, which dissuaded a lot of viewers. This is a pity, because Wang Tired’s ability is online, but the audience who abandoned the drama may not come back.
This is another very painful lesson for the long video: the first three episodes must be sustained and the rhythm must not be delayed. I hope that the follow-up word-of-mouth will have a greater improvement and can pull back some lost audiences.

Love is beautiful
"Love is delicious" has no big production, few characters, no big coffee actors, and the story line is not vigorous. It just shows three aspects of city girl’s life from the beginning of the epidemic in 20 episodes, focusing on friendship, love and trivial daily life at work. By the end of the broadcast, "Love is delicious" has undoubtedly entered the top of this year’s good drama list. The lives of three girls, Xia Meng, Liu Jing and Fang Xin, are like eating a hot pot in winter with an ice cream.
Chen Zhengdao and three heroines.
As a male director, how to make a good play about women? How do you know what a girl is thinking? Director Chen Zhengdao believes that "as long as you feel that you know her, it is the first step to lose the female audience". Chen Zhengdao’s advice is that, as a male, the most important thing to create a female theme is not to stand from a high perspective and feel that you know her. He hopes that this drama will be real and relaxed for female audiences, "like an emotional conversation between girlfriends."

Who is the murderer
The most wonderful reversal of Who’s the Murderer is not that the murderer is not Shen Haiyang, or that Shen Haiyang himself is the victim of the Haizhou case. But Shen Yu, as a psychologist, has always been controlled by human spirit. The murderer used Shen Yu’s thoughts and love for his father to monitor and manipulate her like a clay doll. Shen Yu thought she was helping her father, but it turned out that she was helping her father’s killer to cover up her sins, and she tried to break the law.
"Mind control" is not far away, it may be around us. We should learn to improve our discrimination and avoid becoming the puppet of the controller.

Adventure in the corner of the world
When Zhao Qi, the general director, invited her to participate in Adventure Corner of the World as a story visitor, Nana Ou-yang still worried, "With my own life experience, I can’t say the right words at the right time."
She said that Zhao Qi dispelled her doubts. "He told me that the program doesn’t need a host. What we need is not a mature female host to understand the life story, but to see the world through my eyes after 00. They made me only think about one thing, that is, to really feel all the feedback that everyone gave me. "
Lai Min and Nana Ou-yang.
In the phase of going to Litang, Lai Min, a rare patient, was in a wheelchair, Nana was kneeling on the ground, and it was raining in Mao Mao. Lai Min said to Nana Ou-yang, "Everyone has a horse in his heart. This horse is a free running horse. We should not only be loved, but also learn the ability to love." She was shocked at the moment. "People, in the city, often just nest in their own rooms, but on the endless grassland, their hearts will be much broader." After that day, I kept thinking about how to be a person with a horse in my heart. "
