【Movie】
As of 15:00 on February 17, the top five movies at the box office that day were: "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Tide", "The Wandering Earth 2", "Chinese Ping-Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back", "Man Jianghong" and "Deep Sea".
Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum of Frenzy

On February 17, China, the United States and other countries will release Marvel's new film "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum Surge" ("Ant-Man 3" for short). Whether the box office will collapse remains to be seen, but word of mouth has already been broken down.
As of 14:00 on February 17th, Beijing time, the film critics' rating of "Ant-Man 3" on Rotten Tomatoes has dropped from 54% at the beginning to 49%, which is far from the bottom of the "Marvel Cinematic Universe" "The Eternals" ( 47%) are getting closer. In addition, it scored only 6.6/10 on IMDB, and it failed at 49/100 on Metacritic, where film critics gather more.
From top to bottom, Rotten Tomatoes, IMDB and Metacritic, the three major movie ratings in the United States, gave "Ant-Man 3" a low score in the critics section, but in the general audience ratings of Rotten Tomatoes, the current score of the film is 84%. Fairly upper-middle level
New York film critic Kristy Puchko's views on "Ant-Man 3" are very representative. She said that the development of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is so grand, time-consuming and energy-consuming, and fans have been rewarded. It's a messy, pathetic, uninteresting mess that makes one forget why the main character is so funny in the first place.

"The Jedi Counterattack of Chinese Ping Pong"
Poster of "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back"
The film’s release path has been full of twists and turns. It was originally scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year (January 22), and later due to some technical reasons, it was changed to the third day of the Lunar New Year. However, it was only released for two days. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year (January 26), it was changed to a small-scale screening, and it was again released on a large scale on February 17.
This time it was released again, "Chinese Ping Pong: The Jedi Strikes Back" had 12.7% of the first day's film schedule, which is still not as good as "The Wandering Earth 2" (16.1%) and "Man Jianghong" (15.4%). The real-time box office finally reached the same day. At around 15:00, it surpassed "Manjianghong" and came to the third place in the daily box office, but the box office gap between "Chinese Ping Pong: Jedi Counterattack" (5.46 million yuan) and "Manjianghong" (5.34 million yuan) was less than 200,000 yuan.
Still wishing the film success.

"Wind and Rain Brought Spring Back"
"Wind and Blow" poster
Wang Zhiwen + Yu Feihong + anti-corruption theme, the expected value of the lineup and theme of the series is comparable to "Hurricane". It premiered yesterday, and the author kept convincing myself to watch 5 episodes with the mood of "maybe the next episode will be fine". I can only say, Let's send it away and file it away as soon as possible, the stale and perfunctory atmosphere is blowing out.
The main line of the series is anti-corruption, and the opening chapter is about the fall of Cui Minggui (homonym for "dead ghost"), the director of safety supervision. However, from discovering the problem to taking away Cui and finding out where the money is hidden, it is almost "in one go", without any process. Everything in the camera, the niece came to righteously exterminate the relatives to report the uncle, and everything else, the Disciplinary Committee already knew everything, and everything else, Cui Minggui, who had refused to admit it for a second, had already stood on the stage and deeply reviewed his misunderstanding.
"Wind and Rain Sends Spring Return" Screenshot
The relationship between the characters is "special". Zhao Dasheng (played by Wang Zhiwen), secretary of the local discipline inspection committee, and Yu Zhongjun (played by Yu Zhen), secretary of the municipal party committee, were comrades in arms. When Zhao Dasheng died because of a misunderstanding, Yu Zhongjun married Zhao's wife and helped raise his son Zhao Xiaojun. After Zhao Dasheng came back, he married his wife Xu Ying (played by Yu Feihong) and had a daughter Zhao Xiaoyan. What is the use of such a complicated family setting?
The screenwriter will tell you that it can better reflect the complexity of the characters. For example, Zhao Dasheng thinks it is inappropriate for a pair of children to start a company locally, and someone will take the opportunity to give them free money. It is conceivable that the two sons and daughters of Zhao Dasheng will cause big trouble, and Yu Zhongjun may also "turn against" Zhao Dasheng.
The atmosphere of the two families is a typical father-like collection. The daughter must first obtain the father's permission to do any work. By default, the daughter is still a civil servant or a teacher, otherwise no one will want her. I don't know what mood Yu Feihong, who has always emphasized that women don't have to get married, but to live their own lives, said such lines.

Teacher Wang Zhiwen, Teacher Yu Feihong, please choose the script carefully!
"Summer Flowers"
"Summer Flowers" poster
You say it looks good, it's just a super long Jerry Yan mv + dynamic photo, with a little ambiguous bgm. Call it ugly, Jerry uses his 40-year-old body and face to interpret what is sexy. It can only be said that as a female audience, he doesn't want to leave his eyes for a second!
The plot itself is about a 20-year-old girl who has no brains and fell in love with Tony (Jerry Yan), who washes her hair, and then bravely chases after love, stalking, in short, she wants to follow you and love you, every day Every second radiates desire for you. To be honest, although the plot is illogical and the characters are unreasonable, it's been a long time since I saw such a naked story of pure love. There are no complicated considerations, no tests of human nature, no misunderstandings, no misses, no love-hate entanglements, Only the bold girl who "I want you, do you agree or not" speaks... Warriors of pure love, watch it now! The last time I saw a drama like this was the last time I watched a Taiwanese idol drama, where the heroine could be substituted in minutes, and Jerry Yan made her face blush and her heart beat faster.
Of course, this kind of plot does have bugs. For example, when you don’t know a man, it’s better not to sleep in his house casually, and it’s better not to hand yourself over casually. The reality is far more complicated and terrifying than TV dramas, even if that person looks like Jerry Yan Just as handsome.
"Heavy Purple" & "Starfall Congealed into Sugar"
The two fantasy dramas were launched almost at the same time. Because of the faster update and the relatively lower threshold of the plot, "Cheavy Purple" currently has a higher market share. Looking at the two films, both have their own problems. Even in the field of fantasy dramas, they are not considered works that can be played.
"Heavy Purple" poster
"Chong Zi" tells the story of a beggar who was bullied and grew up. He has the spirit of not admitting defeat. After being instructed, he went to Nanhua Xiuxian, but because of his strong evil spirit, he was almost driven away. Fortunately, the venerable Luo Yinfan (played by Xu Zhengxi) took him in as a disciple and changed his name to Chongzi (played by Yang Chaoyue). Luo Yinfan dotes on Chongzi extremely, but out of fear of evil spirits, he has not taught her any spells for many years. The story of lovers.
The plot starts from the human world, and it is very friendly to non-fantasy drama audiences. They will follow the heroine step by step to understand the fairy world, and they can also empathize with the protagonist's tragic life experience and her unscrupulous character. It is only the sixth episode, and the two The main character is still in a comfortable state, and it is more like a brother doting on his sister, and there is no sense of cp among the actors. It seems that a stable family drama has entered the theme of sadomasochism. It is easy to lose patience if you watch too much daily doting. The fantasy theme itself has its own strengths It should be the infinite sadomasochism brought by the infinite imagination of the three realms.
"Stars Falling into Candy" poster
"Starfall Congeals into Sugar" tells the story of a human queen who gave birth to a righteous and an evil twin sisters. The younger sister Ye Tan (played by Li Randi) is smart and cunning, so she was promised to be a magic concubine in the devil world. For Tianfei. When the two worlds of gods and demons greeted the bride, in order to save her sister from being a widow, Ye Tan tried to snatch the marriage, but the twin sisters accidentally switched sedan chairs... In the first two episodes, all the characters from the three worlds appeared on the stage, and even told about the characters' own life experiences and the relationship between them. of conflicts. After watching the two episodes, I have no desire to chase after it. Li Landi uses acting skills to interpret the lively and clever girl, but it is really difficult to be a "little sister" with a face of a schoolmaster, and the CP feeling with Chen Xingxu is also relatively flat. The plot The content has not yet been expanded, and the content of the only two episodes is relatively clichéd.
"I Heard You Like Me"
"I Heard You Like Me" Poster
The content is not painful or itchy, not thunderous but not good-looking enough, it feels boring after dinner, and it is difficult to fully understand it as the background sound. "I Heard You Like Me" has fallen into a rather embarrassing situation.
The play is adapted from the popular novel of Hongxiu Tianxiang's contracted writer Ji Xiangye. It tells the story of Ruan Liuzheng (played by Wang Churan), a foreign doctor who left home for seven years and returned to the city where he grew up. He became a trainee doctor in the neurosurgery department of Beiya Hospital. And her ex-husband Ning Zhiqian (played by Peng Guanying) is the best divine surgeon in Beiya. He volunteered to be Ruan Liuzheng's mentor and taught him everything he could, just to make up for the damage caused by his failed marriage. However, Ruan Liuzheng is no longer the fragile and timid girl she was back then. In response to the country's call, they joined the medical aid team to Africa. After experiencing the test of life and death, they fell in love again.
The seemingly ups and downs of the story become boring because of flat characters and performances. The hero is always arrogant, and the heroine is always humble. Let’s say that the heroine is not independent. She finally became confident and strong after divorce. Let’s say she is independent. After she was strong, she returned to the love that had been cold and violent, as if to prove that I was worthy of being loved, so she went to be independent and self-reliant. From the beginning to the end, she did not see the love of the hero for the heroine.
If there is really no love topic to talk about, it is better to make a real aid to Africa medical drama.
