To see in May whether Ning Hao can invent wonders
"Avatar", "Sherlock Holmes", and "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel", these three Hollywood blockbusters will be released one after another, surrounding and attacking the domestic film "Confucius". "Avatar", which was released on January 4th, started off as the first new film of 2010 to hit the theaters, making the competition for the New Year's Eve season enter a white-hot stage. Another Hollywood profit-sharing film, "Sherlock Holmes", is expected to land on January 19th, and there will also be "Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel" on January 29th. With strong enemies ahead and pursuers behind, the survival environment of "Confucius", which made its debut on January 22nd, has suddenly become very harsh.
There is also an animated film that will excite all post-80s people, "Inspector Black Cat", quietly standing in the lineup of February. The material of the film comes from the series of animated films "Inspector Black Cat", and the story of the newly reorganized movie version has been modified the most, with counter-terrorism as the main line. The competing animated films also include "Rainbow Cat Blue Rabbit Fire Phoenix" and "Super Frog Soldiers: Initial Showdown".
Before the Spring Festival, the bustling film market finally welcomed its first off-season. And in the season of spring blossoms, it is absolutely suitable to go to the cinema to experience a romantic love story. The three films in March, "Ultimate Match" (Chen Xiaodong, Ruby Lin), "The Robber of Time" (Simon Yam, Sandra Ng) and "Heaven Paradise" (Jet Li, Shu Qi) will all bring a love theme to the audience, but they are not entirely the same. Therefore, I believe that these three films should evenly divide the box office of March. The main film in April is "Du Lala Promotion Diary". Due to its large readership base, it should harvest good box office results among the white-collar audience in medium and large cities. So far, Wong Jing's comedy film "Beautiful Secret Order" is still in production, but it has already reserved the schedule for April. Such a short production cycle will inevitably affect the quality of the film, and it is unknown whether the domestic market will give Wong Jing another box office miracle like "Imperial Detective Lingling Dog".
Starting from July, the film market once again entered the heated summer season. And the most anticipated is Feng Xiaogang's "Aftershock". On December 23rd, Feng Xiaogang boldly claimed that the film had just wrapped up and boasted: Next year's highest box office will definitely be mine, and no one else will be able to do it. With such confidence, we have even more reason to look forward to what kind of work this director, who holds the highest box office record in Chinese film history, will present. In addition, the western film "Showdown at Cha Ma Town" starring Sun Honglei and Lin Chi-ling will also choose to be released in July, completely unafraid of Feng Xiaogang's power, and directly compete head-to-head with him.
Because "Avatar" monopolized January, some smaller films have adjusted their schedules to February, and thus, the competition between films has become even fiercer. Due to too many films of the same genre, it will inevitably lead to viewer fatigue, so those with stronger star lineups may have a box office advantage. For example, costume dramas include at least five films such as "Brocade Guards", "Su Qier", "Flower Field Wedding 2010", "Little Soldier Big General", and "Beyond Time". Judging from the star lineup, "Little Soldier Big General" with Jackie Chan and Wang Leehom definitely has an advantage. But upon further thought, although Jay Chou in "Su Qier" is not the male lead, with Jay's charm, he can certainly gather a group of loyal fans. It's really hard to tell who will win right now. Besides the cluster of costume dramas, the two big kings, Andy Lau and Eason Chan, began to fight fiercely in modern films. Andy Lau's "Future Policeman" with beauties Dajing and Fan Bingbing, Eason Chan's "Hot Summer Days" and "Tenement", will surely fight tooth and nail. I suggest movie fans match themselves accordingly, otherwise, it would be really hard to decide once inside the cinema.
In January, Hollywood blockbusters surrounded and attacked "Confucius".
In July, during the summer season, Feng Xiaogang leads the trend alone.
