The Lunar New Year file that had been holding back for a year was finally enlarged. Seven blockbuster films were released at the same time. The Chinese New Year stayed in place, and it was impossible to travel. The cinema was the best place to go. "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Assassination of Novelists" are already on the must-see list of suspense film lovers. "New God List: Nezha Rebirth" is confidently screened one week in advance, and the spring of national comics has returned. The New Year's Eve comedy is not absent either. "Hello, Li Huanying" is directed by Jia Ling and is the first choice for family watching movies.

Covered for a year, can it still explode?

The pre-sale box office of "Tang Detective 3", which has been postponed for one year, has exceeded 100 million. The main creator also used the cover of "365 Days I Miss You" to express the difficulty of waiting this year. In 2015, "Tang Detective 1" was a small test, and in 2018, "Tang Detective 2" was a big box office. Coupled with last year's online drama of the same name, "Tang Tan Universe" has begun to appear.
In "Tang Detective 3", the route of the duo of Qin Feng and Tang Ren changed from New York to Japan, and the initiator of the new case is the number one detective Q. The character layout is bolder and three-dimensional. "Tang Detective 2" "The hacker detective KIKO", "Little Fresh Meat Detective" Song Yi (Xiao Yang), the smiling girl Sinuo (Zhang Zifeng) in "Tang Detective 1", the detective Lin Mo (Qiu Ze) in the web drama, the mysterious woman IVY (played by Janine Zhang) will gather in "Detective Tang 3", and at the same time join the Japanese detective Noda Hao (played by his wife Mu Cong) and Thai detective Jack Jia (played by Kung Fu star Tony Jia).
The special feature of the "Tang Detective" series is the fusion of comedy and suspense. Do you still remember the extremely brainwashed "Pink Memories" of "Tang Detective 2" and the scene of the protagonist team wearing women's clothing collectively? Remember Zhang Zifeng's evil smile at the end of "Tang Detective 1"? Qin Fan contracted Tang Ren's slap for the teaser of the trailer for "Tang Detective 3".
Audiences who want to watch "Tang Detective 3" will naturally take on the lingering questions for a long time. Who is the number one Q in the detective list? Is Song Yi, who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, the villain? Will the genius detective Qin Feng go black? "Tang Detective" director Chen Sicheng's ambition is by no means limited to making a few commercial films. The Chinese version of Marvel is the height that Tang Detective wants to achieve. Perhaps as the plot unfolds, more detectives hidden in the rankings will appear one by one. Make sparks with the protagonist group.
02 "Assassinated Novelist"
If you want to watch a blockbuster video, choose it
Recommendation index: ★★★★

After many years, traffic queen Yang Mi cooperated with director Lu Yang for the second time. Although the pre-sales of "Assassination of Novelists" are not good at the box office, the cat's eye movie "the number of people who want to see" is only a fraction of "Tang Detective 3", but judging from the dense materials released by the crew, it may be the most brain-burning work in the new year.
The movie tells the story of a father who takes on the task of assassinating a novelist in order to find his missing daughter. The fantasy world written by the novelist is also quietly affecting the fate of everyone in the real world.
In the novelist Lu Kongwen (played by Dong Zijian), in the imperial capital of another world, the gods ruled brutally and indiscriminately killing innocents. Young Kongwen decided to fight back because he was chased by the red-haired ghost. Under the guidance of Hei Jia (played by Guo Jingfei), he embarked on the road of mortal killing of gods. The counterattack behavior of the young Kongwen in the book has made Lu Kongwen's real world out of its original trajectory. Once the red-haired ghost in the novel gets sick, Li Mu (Yu Hewei), the boss of Tu Ling (played by Yang Mi), will faint. In order to stop the progress of the novel, Guan Ning (played by Lei Jiayin), a desolate father who is looking for a daughter, takes it. Tu Ling's instructions to assassinate the novelist.
The charm of "Assassination of Novelists" lies in its grand imagination, and the protagonists in different identities rush to the two worlds. The wooden building communities in the different world, the dark and humid primitive tribes, the solemn, ferocious and grotesque statues, the magnificent candle dragons and peacock carts, the towering stone dragon sculptures, and the extremely frequent red lanterns, The metaphors hidden behind the above make people wonder. The characters and behaviors in the real world gradually appear through plots and dialogues, and they interact with the progress of another world.
The reason why "Assassination of Novelists" makes people worry is also obvious. When the excellent graphics and realistic special effects are increasingly becoming the icing on the cake of a movie, whether the core of the story can withstand scrutiny and whether the logic is self-consistent may be "Assassination of Novelists". The key to the dark horse stalls during the Spring Festival.
03 "New God List: Nezha Rebirth"
Can Guoman still create surprises?
Recommendation index: ★★★★

In 2020, "Jiang Ziya" is going high and low, making it difficult for audiences to walk into the cinema without scruples and become the "tap water" of Guoman. "New God List: Nezha Rebirth" may be able to restore the confidence of the audience.
How to let the classic IP release new energy and build a diversified new world of consecrated gods? "New God List: Nezha Rebirth" chooses to graft traditional myths and stories with modern times. The aerial city of Donghai City is a mix of Manhattan in the 1920s and 1930s and old Shanghai Beach. While the movie has a new world view, the plot is also capable of unfolding.
The image of Nezha is a major breakthrough in the film. It has subverted the previous way of appearing with double balls and became a trendy man riding a motorcycle. The integration of punk, motorcycles and other elements makes the movie screen richer. The audience can't help but ask this natural extraordinary Can the magic boy break free from the shackles of fate in this lifetime? If "Nezha's Devil Boy Comes into the World" is a struggle of "I cannot help my life", then "Nezha Rebirth" is a heroic feat that rescues the entire city after the restart of life.
Another cardiotonic agent of the film comes from the production of light-following animation. "New God List: Nezha Rebirth" was created by the original team of "The Origin of the White Snake" and lasted 4 years. In the film, Nezha's previous life and the East China Sea showdown is a tribute to the 79 version of Shanghai Mei Film Studio's "Nezha Naohai", which adopts the presentation form of Chinese ink painting and is also a continuation of the style of "The Origin of the White Snake". The trailer of Nezha vs. Ao Bing's grand segment shows technical advancement. Of course, feelings cannot be used as a gimmick, and technology does not necessarily have the ability to "just eat". The current domestic animation needs to present a solid story while improving its perception. Perhaps this time, "Nezha Rebirth" is worth looking forward to.
04 "Hello, Li Huanying"
Smile and cry
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
The movie starring Shen Teng and Jia Ling does not have to doubt whether it will be a hit. Their chemistry has been shown in the ratings of each issue of "Ace Vs Ace".
"Hello, Li Huanying" is Jia Ling's directorial debut. The script prototype is also Jia Ling's personal experience. It is first repeated with sketches, and then adapted into a movie, which will appear on the big screen.
After an accident, Jia Xiaoling (Jia Ling) travels to the young age of her mother Li Huanying and assists Shen Guanglin (Shen Teng) of the second generation of the factory as a girlfriend to express love to Li Huanying (Zhang Xiaofei). Jia Xiaoling is observing everything from the perspective of God. If Jia Xiaoling had not been given birth, her life might have been smoother.
Li Huanying is Jia Ling's mother's name. When choosing an actor, Jia Ling also included private goods. Zhang Xiaofei is very similar to Jia Ling's mother, including many lines in the film that Jia Ling and her mother used to say. She said that this is a "movie made for my mother, not only for my mother, but also for the audience's mother."
The same story setting also appeared in the plot of the dark horse "Riding the Wind and the Waves" in the 2017 Spring Festival file. Can "Hello, Li Huanying" be able to straighten out the plot branches from the sketches in addition to funny and tearful, Jia Ling's Director ability needs to be seen before evaluation.
