What China movies are worth paying attention to in 2023?
1, Wandering Earth 2
Director: Frant Gwo
Starring: Andy Lau, Lee.
Release date: 65438+2023122 October (being released)
Douban score: 8.2
Director Guo Fan once said that if The Wandering Earth passed the exam, he hoped to score 70 points in Wandering Earth 2. The story of Wandering Earth 2 is a prequel to The Wandering Earth. This time, we hope to see a comprehensive upgrade of domestic hard-core science fiction.
You don't have to worry about how Jason Wu's character is "resurrected" because it's not dead.
Frant Gwo's seriousness in shooting has been fully demonstrated in the details of scene design and visual effects, which has once again promoted the industrial level of China's sci-fi works. Xue Jian's teachers are still old-fashioned, while Andy Lau has won the most challenging role in recent years.
Introduction to the story of Wandering Earth 2:
The sun is about to be destroyed, and mankind has built a huge propeller on the surface of the earth to find a new home. However, the road to the universe is full of dangers. In order to save the earth, young people wandering in earth times once again stepped forward and launched a life-and-death battle with time.
2. Manjianghong
Director: Zhang Yimou
Starring: Shen Teng, Jackson Yi and Zhang Yi.
Release date: 65438+2023122 October (being released)
Douban score: 7.7
After Sniper, Zhang Yimou once again "marched" into the Spring Festival. At first glance, the theme of this time is a historical story set in the Southern Song Dynasty, but judging from the preview and materials, there are many suspense, action and even comedy elements, and the image style is quite like heroes and shadows.
It is difficult to know the color of the film. The only thing that is certain is that Zhang Yimou's works still have strong national color and unique composition style.
"Angry, aperture, it's raining. Looking up, screaming in the sky, strong and fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and the moon. Don't wait, the boy's head is white and sad. "
Brief introduction of Man Jianghong's story:
During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, that is, four years after Yue Fei's death, Qin Gui led troops to negotiate with Xu Jin. On the eve of the talks, the envoy of the state of Jin died in the Prime Minister's office, and the secret letter he carried with him was also missing. Private Zhang Da (Shen Teng) and Sun Jun (Jackson Yi), deputy commander of the pro-military camp, happened to be involved in this huge conspiracy, and Prime Minister Qin Gui (Lei Jiayin) ordered them to find out the murderer within an hour. With the deepening of the crisis-ridden investigation, Li He (Zhang Yi), Wu Yichun (Yun-peng Yue) and Wu Jiyaoqin (Wang Jiayi), general manager of the Prime Minister's Office, were involved in the bureau. It seems that there is a bigger conspiracy behind the case. There is something fishy and sinister in the game, and the situation changes overnight, and the forces of all parties are surging ...
3. "Nobody"
Director: Cheng Er
Starring: Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Yi Bo and Zhou Xun.
Release date: 65438+20231October 22nd.
Douban score: 6.8
Director Cheng Er's output is not high, but he pays great attention to style and quality. Fatal Hostage and Romantic Death History are both excellent domestic works with amazing recognition. This time, Cheng Er extended his tentacles to the narrative of the main theme, manipulating the last film of Bona Film's Trilogy of Victory in China (the first two films were the battle of Changjin Lake in Chinese Doctors), starring Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Zhou Xun, and a wave of such popular young people.
The film has the suspense of spy war and the style of old Shanghai. It is conceivable that there is a threshold for watching movies, but it is definitely a choice of texture.
Cheng Er really knows how to lay out and bury the thread. A bloody idea implies a dark shark, spilling blood, implying the failure of a schemer, and a tear represents deep feelings and misunderstandings. When you are careful enough, you can decrypt the ring and finally reveal the answer with the director. It's really a hearty viewing experience.
Unknown summary:

4. Deep sea
Director: Tian Xiaopeng
Starring (dubbing): Su Xin, Wang
Release date: 65438+20231October 22nd.
Douban score: 7.4
Use the most gorgeous colors to describe the fairy tale out of the haze!
Judging from the preview, the film broke the boundary between deep sea and deep space, with bright colors like glass and a strong sense of space. Jellyfish and octopus are deformed in the sound of whales, which is quite Cthulhu. This is Tian Xiaopeng, the director of The Return of the Great Sage on the Journey to the West, who despises the new animation works eight years later. What kind of visual effect will the subversive particle ink painting technology bring?
Tian Xiaopeng admits that Deep Sea is a must-read work in his life, and its story has been haunting his mind for many years.
Introduction to the deep sea:
In the deepest part of the ocean, all the secrets are hidden. A modern girl (Betelgeuse) strays into the dreamy deep-sea world, but encounters a unique life journey.
5. Exchange of life
Director: Su Lun
Starring: Zhang
Release date: 65438+20231October 22nd.
The story setting of Exchange of Life is not new, but judging from the movie preview, the comedy effect of this movie is quite good, and it is indispensable to think about life and emotion.
It is curious whether Zhang, the winner of the Golden Rooster Award, can break through the role aura of Hi Mom and bring a new screen image.
"The Exchange of Life" is a comedy movie full of joy and a little fairy tale color, which makes people happy when watching it, full of relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, and also makes people think deeply: What should we cherish in life?
Exchange life outline:

Starring: Deng Chao, Sun Li, Timmy Xu and Jason Wu.
Release date: 65438+20231October 22nd.
China Ping-Pong Jedi Strikes Back completely awakens the memory of the past! Cai Zhenhua's coach always has a shiny back with bare arms, a dark horse, Wang Tao, who is not tall and fleshy, Ding Song, a strange player with a mushroom head and doesn't like to talk, and Kong and Liu, who were invincible at that time.
I believe that every audience has a memory of "China Ping-Pong". This time, Deng Chao and Yu Baimei once again joined hands to direct this national story. Based on a true story, the film tells the story of how the China table tennis team returned to its peak in the 1990s and fought back.

In the face of internal and external doubts, the head coach and coaching staff insisted on drastic reforms, and the "new five tigers of men's table tennis" who were not optimistic gave full play to their respective advantages. In the end, they staged a wonderful Jedi counterattack at the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships and won back the Swaythling Cup.
