1905 movie network feature After flipping through the 2023 calendar page by page, we have come to the end of November. In the remaining two months of 2023, more than 30 new films have been officially finalized.
2023 is a year of rapid recovery of the film market, but also a year of frequent explosions in the film market. In 2023, the total box office of the film is about to break through the 50 billion mark. What kind of expectations will the upcoming more than 30 new films bring to the audience?
01.Drama bone drama, theme surprise, detonation of November movie viewing expectations
Among the many movies to be shown in November, the genres can be said to cover all aspects, including action, comedy, suspense, love and other genres. Among them, the two movies with the highest number of people wanting to see in November are and.
2023 is known as the golden year of crime films. Whether it is a hit film or a film with high social discussion, it has attracted the attention of the audience.
On the one hand, "Involved in the Sea of Anger" took advantage of this year’s crime film boom, and on the other hand, it played the first warning in the history of the Chinese mainland screen "It is recommended that audiences under the age of 18 watch as appropriate". The combination of the two greatly raised the audience’s expectations for the scale and plot of the film.
The release of the clips of the blockbuster drama with the two of them made the spiciness of this "sea of anger" pervade the audience in advance.
In the film, Huang Bo seems to have returned to the oily-faced underclass people of the era. Freed from the shackles of the social middle class, when he saw his daughter who was stabbed 17 times lying cold in front of him, he once again issued a cry of grief from the bottom of his life.
And Zhou Xun also swept away the cool and artistic screen image in recent years, playing a mother who guards her son and is almost crazy.
As the scenes of the two opposing and killing each other in the film are released one by one, the final outcome of the showdown between the two "ruthless people" is gradually becoming the most anticipated flashpoint for the audience.
Another highly anticipated film, "I Am High Mountain," is based on the touching story of Zhang Guimei, a teacher in the mountainous area, who helps female students in the mountainous area get out of the mountains.
In the trailer released so far, Haiqing’s high degree of restoration of the image of Principal Zhang has become an important reason for the soaring number of people in the film. This restoration is not only the closeness of the image, but also the inconvenient legs of Principal Zhang and the slightly hunched waist have permeated Haiqing’s performance.
In addition to stripping away the restoration of images and stories, the most anticipated reason for "I Am a Mountain" is that it records Zhang Guimei’s state of mind and thinking as a woman in the dead of night.
Did she regret her choice? Did she ever hesitate for a moment when she understood her mission as a teacher? These true reflections on Zhang Guimei’s life are also worth the audience’s expectation.
02.Movie model workers and leading year-end Chinese films
In terms of filmmakers, two movie models emerged – Zhang Yi and Andy Lau, who each have three films to be screened at the end of the year.
Zhang Yi, who focuses on the keyword "breaking the comfort zone". His three pending films are family road movies, spy mystery movies and crime movies.
In "Priceless Treasure," Zhang Yi plays a low-class person who is forced to take care of the daughter of a creditor during the process of demanding wages, and in the process plays many stories of warm Maimai. Zhang Yi’s role as a "father" for the first time on the big screen is worth watching. How he will perform it is worth the audience’s expectation.
From the genre point of view, "The Tip of the Knife" is more like a combination of harmony. In this comfort zone of Zhang Yi, whether he will try a new type of performance, and how to interpret the complex role of "Jin Shenshui" into various levels, is the most worthy proposition for Zhang Yi fans.
In "Three Battalions," the most talked-about of the three films to be released, he will continue the "unsuccessful" police officer image of the 2023 blockbuster drama, playing a police officer who has gone from high-spirited and domineering to cautious but still passionate.
At the same time, he will also play on the same screen in "Three Battalions", and the continuation of the front line between the two has caused the film to have enough "tap water" attention before it was released.
On the other hand, Andy Lau’s keyword at the end of the year is "new classics".
Among his three pending films is a comedy, directed by Mr. Lau, who will work together again 18 years later. In "Mr. Red Carpet," a darkly humorous adaptation of 999 true events, Andy Lau makes his superstar debut and introduces various ironic episodes on the road to stardom. He removes some of the fig leaf of the entertainment industry and aims to provide the entertainment industry with a pot of "steaming" hot reviews.
In his old business, Hong Kong films, he is also about to sweep away the rumors and gloom of "Hong Kong films are dead" and contribute ultra-high-quality performances in Hezhong.
In "Goldfinger", the audience will see Andy Lau and the same frame after 20 years of absence. After the baptism of time in the film market for 20 years, this time the audience will have a deep look back on the feelings of Hong Kong films.
"Stealth" staged a wonderful drama of three generations of Hong Kong people, which is a powerful shot in the arm for the revitalization of Hong Kong films.
Looking at the film market in 2023, box office results and audience satisfaction are constantly refreshing new highs. As of now, the total box office of domestic films is only one step away from 50 billion, but the expectations of all filmmakers and audiences for the achievements of Chinese films in 2023 are far more than 50 billion.
Among the more than 30 films to be screened at the end of 2023, we are looking forward to new dark horses coming out, and we also hope that the strongest team of Chinese films can keep pace with the times and keep close to the audience’s ideas and preferences. We also hope that after healthy competition, the blooming Chinese films can drive the market to heat up again and warm the cold winter of 2023.
