Over 25 new films hit the market for Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day: Watch Brad

“Old Jianghu”

Release date: September 25

Director: Liu Yu/Li Taige

Starring: Yu Qian, Liang Jiahui, Wang Yinglu, Duan Bowen, Zhao Xiaotang, etc.

Summary: An ordinary but suspicious theft case tied the retiring grassroots policeman Jing Youzheng (played by Yu Qian) and the chairman of Mingdian Group Bian Juhan (played by Liang Jiahui) into the same boat. The old policeman perseveres in the pursuit, the financial boss indifferently counterattacks, huge arrears, short capital and a hidden murder case, layers of clues reveal the dark side of the game between good and evil.

看點：Yu Qian and Tony Leung Ka Fai’s first big screen collaboration is the biggest box office anchor of this crime comedy. The “Queen of Crosstalk” versus the “King of Thousand Faces”, the collision of the two performance systems is interesting in itself. In the trailer, Yu Qian’s “I’ll stare you to death” is replaced by Tony Leung Ka Fai’s “Just you?”, Bian Juhan uses “old dog” to mock the old policeman for being old and outdated, but it is the despised “old dog” that bites through the capital chess game. The film takes a grim and realistic route and breaks away from the gunfight routine of traditional crime films.

“Dunhuang Heroes”

Release date: September 25

Director: Cao Dun

Starring: Zhang Yu, Dou Xiao, Lei Jiayin, etc.

Introduction: After the Anshi Rebellion, the story of Dunhuang (Shazhou), an important town that has been isolated in Hexi for more than 60 years, is put on the big screen. Ma Boyong wrote the script and Cao Dun took the camera, bringing the forgotten and heroic history of Dunhuang, the important town of the Tang Dynasty, to the big screen.

看點：Cao Dun and Ma Boyong join forces again after the drama “The Twelve Hours of Chang’an”. This is also the first time the two have collaborated in a film, and Cao Dun has directed the first big-screen work. Familiar faces such as Lei Jiayin and Yiwei Yiwei reunited, and Zhang Yu and Dou Xiao shouldered the responsibility of asking for help. From the city of Chang’an to the isolated city in the desert, Cao Dun’s real-life aesthetics is in line with Ma Boyong’s writing style of “living people live in the gaps of history”. Looking at Gucheng in Hexi on a full moon night during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the narrative of family and country and the festive atmosphere unexpectedly fit together.

“Records of Death Zone”

Release date: September 25

Director: Wang Shenghe (director’s sequel to “Yuanyanglou·Shock”)

In order to receive tens of millions of live broadcast bounties, life-saving medical expenses for relatives, and family members who are missing in the park, a search and rescue team with hidden agendas risk their lives and enter the 404 death zone. Water prisons, blood cattle warehouses, electrocution, and indiscriminate brutal killings in the dark got out of control one after another. What awaited them under the global live broadcast camera was whether they were human beings or “tricks”. Filmmaker’s reminder: Minors under 16 years old and patients with high blood pressure and heart disease should watch with caution.

看點：The only 3D horror blockbuster in the past decade, the three-dimensional combination of the suspenseful combination of Deng Jiajia and Su Xiaoding, the realistic background of the abandoned park, and the immersive sense of oppression brought by the 3D format made it the most “dare to watch” at the Mid-Autumn Festival night show. Confined spaces and the game of human nature have more staying power than pure shock.

Screenwriter/Director: Chen Sicheng (co-screenwriters Zhang Ji and Hui Zijie)

Starring: Zhang Yi, Ma Li, Chen Minghao lead, Wang Junkai leads by invitation, Fan Chengcheng specially invites, Chen Feiyu stars in special role, Li Naiwen guest stars

Based on Cui Daozhi, a criminal technology expert and winner of the “July 1st Medal”, Cui Xun (played by Zhang Yi), a trace inspection expert, started as an underappreciated technician and has been working with forensic doctor Huang Rende (played by Ma Li) and criminal police officer Wang Weiguo (played by Chen Minghao) for a long time. They relied on “silent physical evidence” such as ballistics, fingerprints, bite marks, and explosion fragments to crack down on many real major cases that spanned decades. Wang Junkai, Fan Chengcheng, and Chen Feiyu play the new forces of criminal investigation in different periods. The timeline stretches from the 1970s and 1980s to recent years.

看點：For the first time, Chen Sicheng changed the lens from the dazzling skills of detectives to the technology of trace inspection, and made a criminal investigation film into the history of physical evidence and craftsmanship. Zhang Yi’s realistic themes, Ma Li’s comedy-breaking role as a forensic scientist, and Chen Minghao’s detective’s rugged lines, the three together are the most stable head configuration in the schedule. The adaptation of real cases + hard-core technology flow not only gives suspenseful audiences the pleasure of solving puzzles, but also provides real-life audiences with the perspective of “the man behind the police”.

Director: Shen Chunyang

Starring: Xiao Shenyang, Shen Chunyang, Jia Bing, Yu Yang, with Liang Long, Zhang Xiaowan, Xu Zhisheng and others joining the cast

Synopsis: Shen Mo and You Tianyi are a middle-aged couple whose marriage has turned into a “confrontation”. Just after the divorce application was submitted, an accident caused the two souls to exchange, and they were forced to live their lives over again using each other’s bodies, identities, and social circles. Shen Chunyang sat in the director’s chair for the first time, Xiao Shenyang and Shen Chunyang acted as a real couple in a “fake divorce”, and Jia Bing, Yu Yang, Liang Long, and Xu Zhisheng stacked up a whole layer of familiar Northeastern and comedy faces.

看點：The purest family comedy currently available on National Day, its selling point is not brain-burning but misplacement. When husband and wife play each other’s roles, they turn the marital complaint of “you don’t understand me at all” into a physical joke. Directed by Shen Chunyang and written by Ma Duo, this stage-to-movie combination overlays the topic of a small Shenyang couple, and both the lower market and family audiences are attracted to this. If you want to have a laugh during the holidays without having to worry about it, this is the most hassle-free movie.

“Lively and Fragrant”

Release date: October 1

Director: Luo Dong (produced by Xu Lei)

Starring: Led by Yan Ni, Ye Tong, Ni Hongjie, specially invited by Chen Long and Shao Feng, starring Xu Yajun, Bao Jianfeng, Zhao Wenxuan, etc.

Introduction: Three mature women face themselves again after their children leave the nest one after another. It is not a single proposition of “love in old age”, but marriage and love, living alone, restarting social interaction, and reconciling with the past. Yan Ni’s businessman, Ye Tong’s aloofness, and Ni Hongjie’s stubbornness form a group portrait of three sisters. Xu Yajun, Bao Jianfeng, and Zhao Wenxuan connect different emotional lines. The overall comedy is light on comedy but does not shy away from the loneliness and desires of the silver-haired group.

看點：A rare reality comedy for parents to watch during National Day. Luo Dong’s shots are more delicate, and Xu Lei’s supervision adds to the authorial spirit of the market. Yan Ni, Ye Tong, and Ni Hongjie were on the same stage and made the main line of “middle-aged and elderly women not the background of the family”, which can be accepted by women, parents and children, and mature audiences. It’s more heart-warming than a pure comedy, and more relaxed than a sad one. It’s another way to enjoy family fun.

“Peppa Pig·Perfect Holiday”

Release date: October 1

Director: Liu Yuan

Introduction: The Page family originally planned an ordinary vacation, but were accidentally brought to China by a storm. They unlocked everything from high-speed trains, dragon boats to Dragon Boat Festival folk customs, cities and countryside, turning the “perfect vacation” into a cross-border parent-child adventure. As the first major 3D animated theatrical film of Page IP, the characters still maintain young age recognition, the scenes incorporate Chinese landmarks and festivals, and new characters and new maps run side by side.

看點：The most stable foundation for young parents and children. After three-dimensionalization, the big screen look and feel is thicker than the TV version. Chinese elements are not hard-wired but promote the plot. It is safest to bring children aged 3-8 years old into the theater because the laughs, rhythm, and cognitive threshold are the safest. During holidays, daytime screenings and second screenings will focus on this type of film.

“Panda Guardian”

Release date: October 1

Director: Chen Shi

Introduction: An original Chinese-style animation that combines the themes of pandas, nature, and environmental protection into a fantasy adventure. The seven-color rainbow, also known as the bridge of the soul, can drive away evil, purify the soul, and has infinite healing power. However, due to climate change and environmental pollution, the rainbow is losing its colors. A special colorful panda broke into the Rainbow Kingdom and went through all kinds of hardships to light up the rainbow again.

看點：It complements the parent-child track of “Peppa Pig”. Peppa Pig enjoys IP and familiarity, while Panda enjoys domestic products and natural education. The graphics are soft and healing, with no scary scenes. The environmental theme and the “Colorful Panda Adventure” setting are more friendly to older children who don’t like preschool-oriented animations. If you want to avoid foreign IP and maintain the bottom line of parent-child family fun, this is the second choice besides Page.

《偵戰》

Release date: October 1

Director/Screenwriter: Kong Lingzheng

Starring: Louis Koo, Cisha, Simon Yam, and Tse Kwan-ho

Introduction: In the detention warehouse of Dongcheng Police Station, a suspect mysteriously disappeared, and there were no abnormalities in the monitored access control. Detective Ji Zimo (played by Louis Koo) is searching the city with no clue, but the body appears in the locked archives of the police headquarters ten kilometers away – the second secret room. What’s even more fatal is that ballistics analysis showed that the bullet that killed him came from Ji Zimo’s own gun. A murder case, two secret rooms, and a bullet pointed at the investigator, the investigator became the number one suspect overnight. The young inspector Yosaku (played by Nisa) is his only trusted partner, but his attitude is also wavering. Chief Inspector Siko Gong (played by Simon Yam) of the General Bureau and Commissioner Bi Shutang (played by Tse Junhao) of the Intelligence Bureau have entered the police one after another. Everyone within the police station, the intelligence line, and the top management are hiding secrets, and it is impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

看點：At the beginning of the double-secret room, the investigators become suspects. This high concept is unique in the National Day movie. Kong Lingzheng stuffed his secret room mystery into the shell of a Hong Kong-style cop and gangster, Louis Koo carried the emotions, Isa took on the young perspective, and Simon Yam and Tse Kwan-ho, two veteran actors, filled the atmosphere of “everyone is unclean”. It’s a suspense crime thriller on the same day as “Trace of the Detective”, but it takes a completely different path. The detective’s partial trace detection technology is advanced and the sense of real cases is thick, and the detective battle is a high-concept secret room.

“Rebirth 2”
