The results of the three major battles are already obvious, and the winners of the opening battle are naturally "1942" directed by Feng Xiaogang and "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" directed by Li Press.

Feng Xiaogang once again proved that he was still a top director when he left comedy, and he stood up again and earned money.

Li Ji successfully redeemed his reputation in Hollywood with this box office and word-of-mouth film, and the global box office is now approaching 600 million, and it is likely to win the Oscar for Best Director again.

"The King's Feast" has not been smooth from production to release, and the new generation of director Lu Chuan ushered in a huge failure after the success of "Nanjing Nanjing", and the box office was not as high as last year's "Legend of the Hongmen Banquet" with the same theme.

The inevitable big fight in the 3D version of "2012" is not even good for a classic movie like Big Ship to convert to 3D, not to mention this ordinary Hollywood blockbuster.

However, compared to the pitiful transformation cost, the producer still made a profit this time.

The first half of the Lunar New Year is very much like a good suspense movie, containing layers of interlocking suspense, including five biggest suspense.

The first major suspense: Feng Xiaogang Since "No Thieves in the World" in 04, the film department has exceeded 100 million, setting a record like picking up things, like "Tangshan Earthquake" is the first domestic disaster film to get more than 100 million meters, and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" is the first domestic sequel film to exceed 100 million meters. However, it is hard to believe that in the past ten years, Feng Xiaogang has never won the title of annual champion, and whether "1942" can help him achieve this breakthrough is the biggest suspense in the first half of the Lunar New Year.

The second major suspense: Lu Chuan is the leader of the young generation of directors in China, and he himself is an eye-catching star. 2009's Nanjing! Nanking! defeated the opponent "Rabe's Diary" without being favored, and got nearly 200 million box office. "The King's Feast" has more and more powerful opponents, in addition to "1942", there are also blockbusters "Life of Pi" and "2012" 3D, whether Lu Chuan can break through this time and consolidate his name as a new generation of directors is about to be revealed.

The third major suspense: Xu Ke, Chen Kexin, Chen Jiashang and Cheng Xiaodong, these Hong Kong directors, have all achieved remarkable results in the mainland market, but Liu Weiqiang has been tepid, as if there is a glass ceiling on his head, and it is also curious whether his new Chinese New Year work "Blood Drops" can help Liu Weiqiang break through the glass ceiling.

The fourth suspense: Cheng Long, the superstar of Chinese movies, is not a rookie in the Lunar New Year file, the "Little Soldier" in 10 years shined in the Spring Festival, but "Zodiac" is Cheng Long's first time to break into the first half of the Lunar New Year, and it will take a month to know whether the film can start or even stand out from the three main forces.

The fifth major suspense: whether "Zhu Xian" can continue to be successful, as a film written by Li Mu, from "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", "Detective Chinatown" to "Lu Bu", "Crossfire: The Mekong Case" has all achieved great success, this time "Zhu Xian" has seven first-line stars to join the Xianxia masterpiece, coupled with the huge fans of the original work, can it continue the magic, and even beat "Looking for the Dragon" to become the highest-grossing adaptation.

The sixth suspense: whether "Journey to the West: Red Child" can continue the miracle of all Journey to the West-themed movies exceeding one billion. Starting from "The Return of the Great Sage" in the Spring Festival of 10, the box office of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and "Journey to the West: The Daughter Country" all exceeded one billion, and the original cast of "The Return of the Great Sage" by Peng Yuyan, Shi Xiaosong, Chen Qiaoen, Lin Zichong, etc., plus Feng Shaofeng, who played Tang Seng in "The Three White Bone Spirits", can continue the miracle, and the box office will exceed one billion again It is also a major attraction.

In the end, all these six suspenses have come to an end, and naturally some people are happy and some are worried.

Feng Xiaogang's movies are still big hits, but there is still a long way to go before they regain the Lunar New Year champion.

Lu Chuan's status as the leader of the new generation of directors has also been seriously questioned, and he now urgently needs to come up with a high-quality film to consolidate his position.

Liu Weiqiang's directorial career in the mainland is still not improving, and the "Infernal Affairs" series ten years ago was the most glorious time of his career.

Since then, movies such as "Wounded City", "Dragon and Phoenix", and "Jingwu Fengyun Chen Zhen" have not been able to see improvement.

However, the "Initial D" starring Jay Chou achieved good results, but in the end, it was Jay Chou who benefited the most, and won the two Best Newcomer trophies of the Golden Statue and the Golden Horse one after another.

Cheng Long is back in action comedy after a series of failures, and this "Zodiac" will set a new high for his career at the mainland box office.

"Zhu Xian" has now exceeded one billion at the box office, and Li Mu is still continuing his undefeated myth.

The box office of "Journey to the West: Red Child" is not as expected, and it seems impossible to break through one billion in the current situation, and the final landing point is about five or six billion, and the Journey to the West-themed movies have also ushered in a bottleneck, this theme needs to rest for two years, or it is likely to be like the gambling films and zombie films in the Xiangjiang film industry in the last century, and will be played to death by those unscrupulous businessmen.

What followed was a large number of voices that were not optimistic about "Journey to the West", and many people and the media believed that Zhou Xingchi would usher in the biggest defeat in his life this time.

In addition to being produced by Zhou Xingchi, people saw that this movie was made by Zhou Xingchi for another very important reason, which has proved the appeal of this theme in the past two years, as long as the quality is passable, plus Zhou Xingchi himself's huge fans, the billion box office is definitely not a problem.

But now "Red Child" with the same theme is hitting the street, which shows that the audience is tired of this theme, and it is difficult to attract the audience no matter how well you shoot it.

It's like if you're used to eating big fish and meat, you always want to eat some green vegetables and radish, whether you are making braised pork, back pot meat, Dongpo meat, or boiled pork slices, they are not as attractive as a plate of green vegetables.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the party that watched Zhou Xingchi and those fans who grew up watching his movies instantly tore apart on the Internet.

It's just that no matter how fierce they quarrel, the final result will not be decided until the box office comes out, and these controversies have also made a free promotion for the movie.

Whether it's actors, directors, or movies, they're never afraid of negative news, as long as it's not the kind of negative news that's fatal, it's a good thing for them.

No one is perfect, a person can't be liked by everyone, and a work can't be recognized by everyone, it's okay to have bad reviews, the most feared thing is that no one cares, and there is not even a person who sprays you.

In the entire Lunar New Year file, 90% of the voices surround a few movies, and the other 60 movies can only be swept into the corner and slowly forgotten.
