In the Chinese film market in 2014, despite the "Company of Soldiers" and "Nuwa Mending the Sky", despite the repeated refreshes of box office records and the release of a global annual box office champion film, other Chinese films are lackluster.

However, in the past 15 years, many film practitioners firmly believe that this will be a "big year". There are a lot of new films announced by various companies, and big directors such as Chen Kaige, Hou Xiaoxian, and Du Qifeng have all made moves.

Small and medium-cost films are also gradually becoming the beautiful scenery of the Chinese-language film market, stimulated by the outstanding achievements such as "Thai Embarrassment", "Heart Flower Road", "To Youth", "Breakup Master", hot money began to pour in.

Companies have also begun to release new film plans, and some film names that are still in preparation or have already been produced have entered the eyes of fans and industry insiders.

The most eye-catching martial arts genre is naturally the upcoming "Heaven and Dragon Slayer: Wan'an Temple", but judging from Lu Lin's consistent performance, the film is undoubtedly a commercial film with heavy entertainment attributes.

From the perspective of artistic value alone, most film critics are looking forward to Hou Xiaoxian's "Nie Yinniang" and Chen Kaige's "Taoist Priest Descending the Mountain".

The filming process of the former has been repeatedly difficult to give birth and has not yet been finalized, and the latter is tentatively scheduled for the summer of June. If nothing else, "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" will bump into a Hollywood blockbuster and Lu Lin's sci-fi blockbuster "The Three-Body Problem".

However, the schedule of "Three-Body Problem" is also tentatively set in July, and I believe that in the "Domestic Protection Month", even the Film Bureau will not agree to the two domestic blockbusters fighting each other, and the schedule should be distanced.

In addition, the costume martial arts echelon of Chinese films in the past 15 years also includes "The Sword of the Third Young Master", "Heavenly General Hero", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon II: The Sword of the Green Underworld", "The Woman of the Dynasty: Yang Guifei" and Xu Haofeng's "Master".

In 2015, when ancient costumes and martial arts declined, there were eight "blockbusters", no wonder they were regarded as "big years"!

Other genres, announced and highly anticipated, there is also Zhou Xingxing's "Mermaid", the specific schedule is undecided, the plot is confidential, nonsensical plus special effects, and the investment is 150 million.

"Zhong Kui Fu Demon: Snow Demon Spirit", the producer claims to create a "Chinese mythological blockbuster series" to compete with the nonsense "Flood Movie Universe".

But compared with the great power in the Honghuang series, Zhong Kui's Taoism is too low, and the fight scenes are definitely limited, and he is not very optimistic about the market.

It is said that under the hard work of Longlin Pictures, the audience's tastes have been raised. Especially in the genre of Xianxia and magical special effects blockbusters, small scenes are difficult to enter the audience's eyes at all.

Just like the failure of "The Great Wall" at the North American box office, a very important reason is that what they see and understand is just a movie that fights monsters. And the performance of "The Great Wall" in this genre is not outstanding, and the word-of-mouth box office is average, which is also expected.

Therefore, after seeing the new magic-themed films announced by various companies in the market, except for Zhou Xingxing's "Mermaid", which is highly anticipated, the rest have not attracted the attention of the audience, including "Monster Hunt".

The audience is more concerned about Longlin Pictures' new film plan, what will be filmed after "Yitian", "Flood Wilderness" or "League of Legends", or a new series of themes.

On January 15, the day of the re-release of the movie "Kung Fu 3D", Longlin Pictures held a simple press conference at a hotel near the company to announce the launch of the third film of the "Flood Universe" "Flood Wilderness: The Battle of Zhuolu".

The film's funding has not been decided, the actors have not been decided, and the script is not yet available, it is just a preliminary idea, but it still causes heated discussions.

First of all, the films directed by Lu Lin have limited artistic achievements and are extremely entertaining. Secondly, the film is made quickly, although it is just a plan now, but it may be released a little earlier for the 15th New Year, and a little later for the 16th Spring Festival. Unlike other directors' films, it takes two or three years to shoot, and the film is not good.

Judging from the announced plot synopsis, it belongs to the mythical version of the Yellow Emperor Zhan Chiyou, and He Fengbo, Yushi, Ying Long, and Nulu all appeared, which made many fans very excited just thinking about it.

However, because the release time is too far away, the excitement of fans is limited after all. The bigger shock is still in the film industry.

The so-called saints of the flood and famine compete for luck, and entertainment stars compete for resources. Why a good movie has some strange casting is nothing more than the result of a multi-party game.

Now Longlin Pictures is in full swing, and the "Flood Wilderness Series" is a global hit, and you can benefit a lot from joining it as a supporting role, and naturally there are countless stars who intend to join.

It can be said that Lu Lin's new film is certain, and the entertainment industry is moving in all directions.

In Shanghai, on the set of "Why Sheng Xiaomo", at lunchtime, Yang Mi and Huang Xiaoming talked about Lu Lin's new film "Flood Wilderness: The Battle of Zhuolu".

"Brother Xiaoming, you didn't contact Director Lu!"

Huang Xiaoming smiled, "How to get in touch, I haven't cooperated all along, just nodding friends!"

Yang Mi: "You two are the same Golden Rooster Actor, always give a little face!"

Huang Xiaoming said: "It's a bit of face, but it's not enough to compete for the role!"

Sect Leader Huang and Yang Mi are both the kind that are more active in the film and television industry to fight for resources, and they have been showing favor to Lu Lin in the past two years.

But as a great director, who is not held by the actors. Like Zhang Yimu and Feng Xiaogang, I feel like netizens are scolding me, but people are actually living chic!

The top film resources in China are in the hands of major film companies, for example, what project the boss wants to do, looking for a director. Second, in the hands of the director, I have a book, find a production company, find funds, but I have the final say on the project.

Lu Lin is good, he has both of them. The most successful commercial film director in China, if you want to win an award, you can't look for him. The owner of the most bullish private film company in China, when other film companies are making new films one by one, Longlin Pictures is already playing a series with the concept of "Cinematic Universe", and has two successful movie series.

Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi are well mixed among the actors, but they also got together to ponder how they could be on Lu Lin's new film.

"It's really not good, just make a cameo at a low price!" Yang Mi is now very popular, and if she doesn't compete for the leading role, it is quite promising to make a cameo at a low price or even zero pay.

Huang Xiaoming nodded slightly, and said, "It can only be this way!" But I wondered in my heart, whether to call Lu Lin at night and ask if it would be okay for him to join Yang Tianbao at a low price!

For Lu Lin's new film, the actor's mentality of fighting is not particularly heavy. all know that when Lu Lin was casting, he was very interested in the fit between the actor and the role.

But the actresses are different, all of them feel that their acting skills are not bad, they look good, they are all "vase" roles, and they are not bad in any of them!

Especially after the release of "Nuwa Mends the Sky", a newcomer Du Xiaorao actually became a first-line person, and I don't know how many girl stars are jealous and hateful.

And Fan Lixi, Li Libai, Liu Tianxian, Liu Sisi, Tang Yan, Tong Lihua and other actresses or their agents have also begun to contact Longlin Pictures or Lu Lin directly, in order to mix a role in the new film!
