On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Spring Festival stalls of the film market officially kicked off.
In recent years, the Spring Festival period has become more and more popular, and the overall box office volume has even slightly surpassed the Lunar New Year period. Moreover, many big directors have also liked to attack the Spring Festival period in recent years, and sometimes even cause blockbusters to get together.
Phenomenon.
This is the case for this year's Spring Festival, with a total of four blockbusters released simultaneously on New Year's Day.
The most popular one at the moment is the autobiographical film "I Really Don't Want to Be an Actor" starring the famous comedian Lee Joon Chae!
Li Juncai is also one of the representatives of the most popular era in the southern entertainment industry. His style of comedy movies is unique and has created countless classic works and box office myths. However, although the category of comedy movies is popular with the public, there are still some problems in some award selections.
It has inherent disadvantages, so although Li Juncai's works are very popular, he has little chance of winning awards, and many times his acting skills are even automatically ignored.
However, after so many years of struggle and hard work, Li Juncai is now considered successful. Three years ago, he finally won the coveted Best Actor Award and Director Award for a masterpiece of action comedy. This year's autobiographical film
Movies are his retirement work.
In other words, after filming "I Really Don't Want to Be an Actor", Li Juncai will quit the film industry, and everything in the future will have nothing to do with him anymore, which inevitably makes people feel regretful and sad.
But Li Juncai is indeed getting older. He has acted in movies for so many years. Now he has a white head and a face of vicissitudes. It is indeed time to retire. Therefore, before his film was released, related topics were highly hyped.
It's so popular that you can basically pre-order it now. This movie will definitely not be too bad at the box office.
In addition to Li Juncai's "I Really Don't Want to Be an Actor", there are also the classical mythological film "The God of War", the drama action film "Undercover Storm", and the comedy "I'm Not Wu Dalang" released at the same time.
Several works.
"God of War" is based on the theme of the classical mythology Journey to the West. It is said to be a special effects blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions. It contains all kinds of monsters, monsters, and battles between gods and demons. It can be said to be gorgeous and colorful, and is highly anticipated by movie fans.
"Undercover" is a brain-burning action drama with many big-name stars in it, but what attracts most attention is the plot setting. It is rumored that the film will have constant twists and turns and surprises.
As for "I'm Not Wu Dalang", it is a typical northern comedy that uses the past to satirize the present. Before its release, there were several rumors that the film could not be released due to its sensitive content, but in the end it was scheduled to be released as scheduled.
These four films are currently the most popular on the Internet, and judging from the number of films produced, these four films account for almost 90% of the films produced. There is almost no room for other small-scale films to survive.
This is the general format of this year’s Spring Festival stalls.
Chen Feng and An Ruohua had nothing to do. After having breakfast, they booked tickets for the two movies "I Really Didn't Want to Be an Actor" and "Undercover Storm". It was quite enjoyable to watch the two movies in a row.
When the two of them arrived at the cinema, they discovered that the cinema on New Year's Day was actually crowded with people, and most of the time families showed up together. It was obvious that the box office market during the Spring Festival was indeed very good.
The first movie Chen Feng and An Ruohua watched was Li Juncai's "I Really Don't Want to Be an Actor". Before entering the movie, Chen Feng bought An Ruohua a big bucket of popcorn and Coke, and An Ruohua looked resentful.
Just like him.
"You just want to make me fat!"
Chen Feng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I can't gain weight. Besides, the exercise last night consumed so much, I should add more calories."
An Ruohua rolled her eyes at him: "Sports, you big-headed devil!"
…
Soon, the movie started, and Chen Feng and An Ruohua happily watched the movie together.
Although the film "I Really Didn't Want to Be an Actor" is also a comedy, it obviously incorporates a lot of Li Juncai's personal emotions, so it seems to be a little inexplicably touching even while being funny.
Because Li Juncai's career trajectory is legendary in itself, when he integrates his experiences into the movie, the audience can easily resonate with him.
Both Chen Feng and An Ruohua also thought that this film was very good-looking, with tears in the laughter, and it was indeed very suitable as Li Juncai's retirement film.
Involuntarily, Chen Feng thought of another comedy king in his dream world.
Like Li Juncai, the king of comedy also has his own irreplaceable personal characteristics. Most of his films are classics. Moreover, even after he stopped acting, he still insisted on being a director and continued to work in film and television.
Circle of struggle.
Although the few new films he made as a director were not very satisfactory and even brought him a lot of infamy... Chen Feng can actually understand.
After all, people always have peaks and troughs. Sometimes they may catch up with the trend of the times, and sometimes they may have been abandoned by the times.
An up and down curve is more like real life. After all, no one can keep rising without falling.
…
After watching "I Really Didn't Want to Be an Actor", both Chen Feng and An Ruohua felt a little uncomfortable. It wasn't that the movie was not good-looking, but that after the last scene of the movie was frozen, Li Juncai's film life was really over.
At the end, many people even shed tears.
After all, in this world, Li Juncai has brought happiness to many people, but now he has really come to an end... It is normal for emotional people to shed a few tears.
…
After coming out of the cinema, An Ruohua also felt a little sad.
"When we were in school, although the teachers analyzed classic masterpieces in class, privately in the dormitory, what people liked to watch most were the fun comedies made by Li Juncai."
"I watch it when I'm in a bad mood, I watch it when I'm in a good mood, I watch it when I can't sleep, and I use his movies to sleep with when I can sleep... However, from now on, he will never make a movie again.
, it’s really a bit...inexplicably sad.”
Chen Feng hugged An Ruohua's shoulders hard to comfort her.
"Actually, there is no need to be too sad. After all, he has left us so many classics that we can always look at in the future. For him to retire at the peak of his career at the end of his career like this is a kind of completion..."
An Ruohua thought for a moment and nodded. Her mood came and went quickly, and she felt better again after resting for a while.
Not long after, the second film "Undercover Storm" started again. Chen Feng and An Ruohua were full of expectations, ready to see if this rumored masterpiece with multiple twists could really surprise them!
