On the New Year's Day that just passed, Chinese cinemas had a "good start". The overall box office in 2023 did not return to a record high, but during the New Year's Eve period, cinemas gave birth to new vitality.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the "inventory" of the film industry has been gradually depleted over the years. The industry has been difficult, and there are not so many projects being launched. Creators and management are striving for excellence. But the camera cannot stop, nor can we stop recording the times, expanding film types and industrial standards, and pursuing entertainment and moving audiences. In the past few years, there have been concerns that domestic films may face a "film shortage". So, will these annual expectations be enough to support the two-way rush of Chinese films and audiences in the new year?
Some of the following films will soon be released to the audience, some are just marked with "2024" release plans on their entries, and some are veterans who have been "delayed" for a long time. There are many good movies, and I wish everyone a happy movie-watching in 2024.

Here, Steamed Bun met all kinds of "actors" and became friends with them. But in an accident, Mantou was told that there were only dead souls on the drum boat...
Reasons to look forward to: "The Great Protector" is the new work of director Bu Sifan. Its previous work was "Dark Moonlight" in the minds of many Chinese comic lovers, but its slightly obscure plot and disturbing metaphors made it a mixed bag when it was released that year. Not convinced. Years later, when the audience has gradually grown up and their imagination and horizons for animation have become more open, can the creators and the audience receive surprises at the same time this time?

At the same time, the female police detective Jiang Jie (played by Zhang Keyi) also locked the three people. For a while, the gangsters had their own agenda. Under the rules of the world of "I rob, you rob me", a bag of money triggered a Continuous accidents...
Reasons to look forward to it: A black humorous Hong Kong-style comedy produced by Er Dongsheng. The combination of Aaron Kwok, Simon Yam, and Jack Lam is also quite fresh and interesting. An impromptu heist reveals a deep exploration of humanity, friendship and love.

Director: Ning Hao

Release date: February 10
"Mr. Red Carpet" poster
Plot summary: The film mainly tells the story of a has-been star who participated in an awards ceremony at an international film festival in order to regain his career glory. The film claims to be based on 999 real events in the film and television industry.
Reasons to look forward to it: Ning Hao’s talent and Andy Lau’s charisma are really hard to resist. Although it is a comedy movie, "Mr. Red Carpet" also explores deeper life and social issues. As for the fun of eating melons, the entertainment superstar Andy Lau will interpret it. No one can be more convincing than him.
"Hot and Hot"
Director: Jia Ling

Reasons to look forward to: The story of "Hundred Dollars of Love", about a otaku who changes her life through boxing, is set in China. Jia Ling directs and stars, and collaborates with Zhang Xiaofei again. After "Hello, Li Huanying" created a box office miracle, the next miracle is Watch Jia Ling successfully lose 100 pounds!

Unexpectedly, he was involved in a hugely divergent case. At the same time, his family was also facing similar problems. test……
Reasons to expect: Zhang Yimou has been so productive in recent years that even young people can't catch up. Looking at the synopsis, it feels a bit like last year's National Day release "Sturdy as a Rock", and the film type clearly says comedy.
It seems that he has tasted the sweetness of "Man Jiang Hong". Will telling the serious core under the playful narrative become Zhang Yimou's new style? Looking at the cast, Lei Jiayin fell into the bush this time...
"There's nothing a hot pot can't solve"
Director: Ding Sheng
Starring: Yang Mi, Yu Qiantian, Yu Yu Ailei, Li Jiuxiao
Release date: May 1
"Nothing a Hot Pot Can't Solve" Poster

Finally, the special identities of the four people gradually surfaced, and the mysterious truth was about to come out... Man is doing it, God is watching, and God's calculation is ultimately not as good as man's calculation.
Reasons to look forward to it: First of all, I deeply agree with the title! Ding Sheng must be reassuring when it comes to filming this kind of subject matter. Yang Mi has not been seen on the big screen for a long time. The female character is singled out by a group of powerful male actors, which looks interesting. A crime movie with a spicy Sichuan hotpot flavor should be both choking and punchy.
"Fengshen Part 2"
Director: Wu Ershan
Starring: Fei Xiang, Huang Bo, Yu Shi, Chen Muchi, Li Xuejian
Release date: Summer release to be determined
Plot summary: Grand Master Wen Zhong leads the Yin and Shang armies including Deng Chanyu, the four generals of the Mo Family, to Xiqi.

Highlights: The story revolves around Ji Fa's return to Xiqi to defend his homeland. The scenes and fights have been upgraded. More familiar characters from the list of gods have appeared. How does the human ethics in the oriental magical wonder epic often fare in the context of the new era? speak?
After the new actors become more popular, as long as the quality of the new film passes the standard, fans won't need to worry as much as the first film. Director Wu Ershan has previously stated: ""Fengshen Part 2" is working towards the goal of being released in the summer of 2024."
"The Demon Boy of Nezha Makes a Trouble in the Sea"
Director: Dumpling

Master Taiyi planned to use the seven-color lotus to reshape the bodies of the two of them. However, they encountered many difficulties in the process of rebuilding their bodies. Where will the fate of Nezha and Ao Bing go?
Reasons to look forward to: "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World" is the ceiling of domestic animation, with a box office of 5 billion, and it is still difficult for other peers to catch up after four years. The existence of a sequel was already hinted at in the post-credits scene. The dragon kings of the four seas will join forces. How will the little boy take over? What will be the fate of the "cake scum CP"? Can the ceiling of domestic animation reach a new high? This animation is worthy of great expectations from content to market performance.
"Mermaid"
Director: Cheng Er

Plot summary: In the hinterland of Daxinganling, a young man who is almost isolated from the world faces the temptation from the distant, hot and mixed south for the first time, the distant, hot and mixed Hanoi, Vietnam, the tragic and joyful life of a middle-aged man and his ingenious mermaid performance, and Aomori, Japan. Female college student studying art. Different worlds, overlapping lives.
Reasons to expect: Cheng Er, who has a unique pursuit of film aesthetics and authorial temperament, will lead a popular idol like Wang Yibo to freely create and make a super literary film. "Unknown" is a commercial film that wants to win the box office. Perhaps Cheng Er can be seen in "Mermaid" Ear pairs of actors explore and polish their skills.
"Dog Formation"
Director: Guan Hu
Starring: Peng Yuyan, Tong Liya, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yi, Yuan Hong
Release date: Estimated first half of 2024
"Dogs" poster
Plot summary: More than ten years ago, a small town in northwest China. Erlang, who has been wandering for ten years, returns to his hometown and prepares to spend the rest of his life with a cynical philosophy of survival. In order to make a living, he was introduced by his old friend Nie Shili. Erlang (played by Eddie Peng) joins a private dog-fighting team and spends his days transporting stray dogs. A stray dog named Ma Sheng broke into his life. This stray dog had the blood of a wolf. Its courage to fight for survival moved Erlang, and the two souls with the same disease gradually developed feelings. Erlang's compassion for life was slowly awakened, and the blood and courage that had been deliberately suppressed began to return. In order to save more stray dogs and to save his own soul, he took active action.
Reason for expectation: Guan Hu, who has been making "blockbusters" for many years, said a few years ago that he would go back to make "artistic films". 15 years after "Bullfighting", Guan Hu returns to "Dog Fighting". As an author-director who was once very stylized, the story and characters have a strong personal flavor. It seems like he is trying to create a Chinese version of "Dog God" story, for Peng Yuyan, it will probably be a huge breakthrough in his acting career.
"Getting into shape"
Director: Xu Haofeng Xu Junfeng
Starring: Chen Kun and Wu Lei
"Enter the Type" Poster
Plot summary: In 1931, a famous man borrowed an ancient painting from the bank president to enjoy, but "he never returned it". Due to his face, the president could only "send someone to fetch the painting". A primary school martial arts teacher (played by Chen Kun) accepts a commission and meets a southern hermit master (played by Wu Lei) on the way. The two of them cannot "take the painting" as a trap, so they can only find other strange moves...
Reasons to expect: Xu Haofeng seems to have entered a purer creative realm when making movies, just shooting, not showing. The three films to be released, "Hiding on the Back of the Knife", "Poetic Eyes Are Tired of the World" and "The Treasure at the Gate" are still on the wish list of movie fans. This time there is another one. The handsome boy team of Chen Kun and Wu Lei is expected to be both eye-opening and eye-catching. . The film is adapted from director Xu Haofeng's novel of the same name, which won the "Shanghai Literature" Novella Award. In Xu Haofeng's world, the disappearing martial arts world and the endless rivers and lakes are always charming.
"Love Myth 2"
Director: Shao Yihui
Starring: Ma Yili, Wu Yue, Zhao Jinmai
Release date: Estimated late 2024
Plot summary: Single mother Wang Tiemei loses her job and moves out, and meets Xiaoye, a neighbor girl. Xiaoye is sunny on the outside but depressed on the inside, and the two become close friends. As for the men surrounding Wang Tiemei: her ex-husband keeps causing trouble, and her daughter's drummer teacher seems to be full of new possibilities. Facing the intruder in love and life, two women from a foreign land are thinking and growing.
Reasons to look forward to it: There is no sequel to "The Myth of Love", but there is a "sister chapter" with different characters, different Shanghai, and the same tone. As a compilation of contemporary adult love that also takes place in Shanghai, what kind of strange and charming characters will appear in Shao Yihui's works to discuss life and love with the audience?
"The Romantic Generation"
Director: Jia Zhangke
Starring: Zhao Tao
Plot synopsis: Taking 2001 to 2022 as the background of the story, it continues the story of Qiaoqiao and Binbin in "Children of Jianghu" and tells the life story of a Chinese woman played by Zhao Tao.
Reasons to look forward to: Jia Zhangke directs a feature film again after five years, and it is also the 10th feature film of "Section Chief". The changing times of small cities from 2001 to 2022, and the fate of small people, can be said to be very "Jia Zhangke". I am curious how this director who pays attention to reality and is accustomed to using magical realism metaphors will tell the magical reality of this era. The film will start shooting in 2022 and 2023. The production cycle of literary and artistic films should not be too long. As a section chief who harvests awards, you can also look forward to film festival awards.
"Boyhood"
Director: Chen Kaige
Starring: Liu Haoran, Chen Feiyu, Zhang Xueying, Wen Qi, Zhao Xiaotang
"Boyhood" poster
Plot summary: A movie that tells the story of teenagers' struggle. Several teenagers go through the critical period of their growth years, in which they work hard and fight against their destiny. After experiencing a lot of suffering and confusion, each of them realized their self-worth and gained a profound understanding of life and this period of time.
Reasons to look forward to: 2023 delayed ticket series. It is said to be the movie that director Chen Kaige most wants to make. The son interprets his father's "boyhood". Perhaps the father and son are uniquely endowed. One is a young boy, and the other has experienced the "era" personally. According to producer Yu Dong, Chen Kaige's film tells the story of young people in a special era. The script is thick and touching. The youthful era experienced by "Chen Kaige" is easily absent or neglected in today's contemporary narratives. Chen Kaige, who once used "Farewell My Concubine" to show the flow of the times and the ups and downs of individuals, can he show how many skills he has this time? Does a strong man still have a youthful spirit in his old age?
"A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage"
Director: Hu Mei
Starring: Lin Peng, Lu Yan, Bian Cheng, Zhang Miaoyi, Huang Jiarong
"A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage" poster
Reasons to look forward to: Talented men and beautiful women, unrivaled love. It’s really curious how such a huge film can be told in one movie. The film originally announced that it would be released in the summer of 2023, but later lost news. Seven years have passed since the global audition of actors in 2017. The environmental aesthetic trend of the entire era has undergone tremendous changes. Can the original classic that spans time survive this time-lapse? It's the same story about a great era where "buildings rise and buildings collapse". It's been delayed again and again. I wonder if Hu Mei has Wong Kar-wai's skill and good luck.
"There is a canteen by the clouds"
Director: Zhang Jiajia
Starring: Peng Yuchang, Zhou Ye, Zhang Yifan, Chen Yanxi, Wang Dalu
"There is a Canteen by the Clouds" Poster
Plot summary: An ordinary young man, Liu Shisan (played by Peng Yuchang), lost himself in the city and was taken back to his hometown, a small town by the clouds, by his grandmother. His childhood friend Cheng Shuang (played by Zhou Ye) and his grandmother accompanied him, and Liu Shisan spent a peaceful time.
Reasons to look forward to it: Zhang Jiajia’s signature healing tone and tender story, without the exaggeration of “Worldwide” and “The Ferryman”, can the writer who has been quieting down become a good director this time? From the casting point of view, they are an eye-catching couple.
"Crisis Route"
Director: Peng Shun
Starring: Andy Lau, Zhang Zifeng, Qu Chuxiao, Liu Tao, Guo Xiaodong
"Crisis Line" poster
Plot summary: International security expert Gao Haojun (played by Andy Lau) takes the A380, an extra-large luxury airliner known as the "Big Mac in the Sky," on its maiden flight, but is hijacked by thugs on the way. The indiscriminate shooting turned the luxury cabin into an airtight purgatory in an instant, leaving more than 800 passengers in danger. Gao Haojun stepped forward to deal with the thugs. He didn't know that the "little helper" hidden among the hostages who cooperated with him inside and outside was his blind daughter Xiaojun (played by Zhang Zifeng)... Thousands of meters above the sky, the father and his wife How does the female general resolve a shocking crisis?
Reason to look forward to it: The A380, the world's largest double-decker luxury airliner, suffered a hijacking on its maiden flight. It is said that the film crew built the A380's three-story cabin according to the 1:1 real scene - the upper level has first-class cabins, duty-free shops, restaurants, beauty rooms, massage rooms, and the middle level. There are business class and economy class, and there are luggage compartments and meal preparation areas on the ground floor... It's worth it just to see the big plane immersively, and Andy is getting more and more hard, and the action scenes are full of thrills.
"Flying Life 2"
Director: Han Han
Starring: Shen Teng, Yin Zheng, Huang Jingyu, Zhang Benyu, Fan Chengcheng
"Flying Life 2" poster
Plot summary: Zhang Chi, who didn’t want to lose, left behind the legend of “The Eternal King of Bayinbulak”. What came back was Zhang Chi, a driving school sparring coach who was injured and wanted to lie down and make some money. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. With profit and passion, Zhang Chi and his friends reorganized the team and stumbled to the last Bayinbuluke again.
Reasons to look forward to it: Zhang Chi, who flew out in the last part, is leading his "Waste Alliance" fleet this time to start another round. Han Han, Shen Teng, comedy, racing... I imagine it should be the kind of passionate and funny. It is said that this film has also achieved the highest industrial level of Chinese racing dramas, so you must look forward to this kind of speed and passion.
"Dunhuang Heroes"
Director: Cao Dun
Starring: Zhang Yu, Dou Xiao, Lu Liang, Cai Lu, Zhao Yunzhuo
"Dunhuang Heroes" poster
Plot summary: Dunhuang in the Tang Dynasty was called Shazhou in ancient times. After the Anshi Rebellion, Shazhou fell, and all the defenders of the Tang Dynasty (played by Yu Haoming, Shi Zhaoqi, etc.) died for the country. During the more than 60 years after leaving the motherland of the Tang Dynasty, life in Shazhou was devastated. The local ruling power Ren Qinre (played by Lu Liang) was brutal and bellicose, adding to public dissatisfaction. The soldiers and people of Shazhou missed the Tang Dynasty day and night. Under the leadership of Zhang Yichao (played by Yang Yi), a prominent family member, the soldiers and people of Shazhou, including his daughter Twelve Niangs (played by Zhang Yifan), took the lead in revolt. However, there was a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, and Shazhou Guiyi was in a hurry. Food thief Lang Yaozi (played by Zhang Yu) and deserter Nuo Ci (played by Cai Lu) accidentally join the rescue team of Zhang Yichao's daughter Zhang Yueya (played by Zhao Yunzhuo) and the second son of the Cao family Cao Guangzong (played by Dou Xiao) , shouldering the last hope of the soldiers and people of Shazhou. In the meantime, the mysterious Captain Zhang (played by Lei Jiayin), the legendary Lone Flag Bearer (played by Zhu Yawen), Liao Heiyun (played by Li Guangjie) who insists on guarding the mural cave, and other characters all appear on the stage. How will they affect Dunhuang and the Tang Dynasty? The direction of history? "The lion roars, and the Tang army returns" - can the legend that has been remembered by the soldiers and people of Shazhou for 60 years truly come true? In the Western Region of the Tang Dynasty, crises are everywhere, and war is about to break out...
Reasons to look forward to: Long-lost historical epic costume blockbusters are no longer the "popular" genre in movie theaters nowadays, but I believe that good movies will not be caught up in trends. The combination of Ma Boyong + Cao Dun, "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" made everyone shout "It's like watching a movie".
"Old Jianghu"
Director: Liu Yu Li Chengkun
Starring: Yu Qian, Liang Jiahui, Zhai Xiaowen, Li Zhiting, Zhangyu
"Old Jianghu" poster
Plot summary: An ordinary theft case makes retired policeman Jing Youzheng (played by Yu Qian) discover something fishy. As the investigation deepens, all clues point to Bian Juhan (played by Tony Leung), chairman of Mingdian Group. Lao Jing persevered in the investigation. Bian Juhan sensed the approaching danger and launched a counterattack. When "old rivers and lakes" collide with "old rivers and lakes", what kind of shocking truth will be involved?
Reasons to look forward to it: There is an inexplicable harmony and persuasiveness between this film title and Mr. Yu Qian. It should be very interesting for Uncle Qian and Tony Leung Ka Fai, two veteran actors who seem to be completely different from each other, to play a cat-and-mouse game. In addition, the other actors don't seem to be from the same dimension. This mixed temperament just... makes people want to take a look.
"Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century"
Director: Li Yang
Starring: Zhang Ruoyun, Zhong Chuxi, Song Yang, Wu Xiaoliang, Li Chenhao
"Safe Evacuation from the 21st Century" poster
Plot summary: What would happen if a sneeze caused the soul of you at 15 to attach to your body 20 years later? What if you happen to save the world? Three 35-year-old boys with the hearts of 15-year-old middle school students ran rampant in the world 20 years later, staging an absurd, interesting, passionate and touching adventure story.
Reasons to look forward to it: You may not be familiar with the name Li Yang, but his famous work "The Adventures of Li Xianji" is considered by many to be the "best domestic animation in history." Among fellow flashers, there have been big hits like "Nezha", and most of the best directors are still deeply involved in the field of animation. Unexpectedly, Li Yang turned around and started a live-action feature film, which was delayed for many years and became a "lifetime" series in the hearts of fans.

The two of them have gone from being estranged to relying on each other. During their time together, their secrets were gradually revealed. In the end, grandma saved this "granddaughter" who had no hope in life.
Reasons to look forward to: Douban 8.5 is an original version of a Korean movie, but it is a remake of a domestic movie, and the proportion of people who are acclimatized is still quite high. Another suspense is whether Teacher Hui Yinghong can improve Miss Liu's acting skills.
"Old Gun"

In order to survive, she could only sell dumplings at Wanchai Pier. How will she withstand the many difficulties of fate and counterattack her life step by step...
Reasons to look forward to it: Dumplings are more delicious than anything else. This is an inspirational legend about women’s life written by the screenwriter of “I’m Not the God of Medicine”. The dumplings made by teacher Ma Li must be the “national dumplings”.
"Table Sharing"
Director: Wu Jing

Reasons to look forward to it: Men and women of urban diet, eating and drinking with Wu Nong’s soft words. It's not the domineering delicacies on the Yellow River Road in the past in "Flowers", but the human fireworks in small restaurants in today's life.
"Fire on the Plain"
Director: Zhang Ji
Starring: Zhou Dongyu, Liu Haoran, Mei Ting, Yuan Hong
Plot summary: While investigating a taxi homicide case, criminal police officer Zhuang Shu (played by Liu Haoran) has a new intersection with his childhood sweetheart Li Fei (played by Zhou Dongyu).
