Yin Hong, vice president of the Chinese Film Critics Society, vice chairman of the Chinese Film Association, and professor of Tsinghua University, told reporters from Sino-Singapore Jingwei that, in addition to the previous "Send You A Little Red Flower", human affection has always been an important theme of the film. On the other hand, the quality and intensity of the creation of this kind of movies have been significantly improved; on the other hand, the audience has also begun to shift from watching spectacles to watching people and stories, pursuing resonance, empathy, and sharing.
In an interview with the China-Singapore Jingwei reporter, Mo Zheng, the screenwriter and writer of "Crazy Film Circle", pointed out that movies are a vehicle for expression of emotions. Previously the subject matter was mostly limited to love between men and women. In fact, as long as it is true feelings and realistic expressions, it can be one A good movie.
"Sister" is also a complex in many people's hearts. This kind of affectionate family and drama films have been on the rise in recent years, and they are more grounded than those popcorn commercial films.
In addition, the title is simple and clear, including many classic songs and books in the past, which have similar emotional sustenance, which can easily arouse people's interest in watching movies.
There are these listed companies behind the Qingming file
Behind the Qingming file is the competition of many listed companies.
Public information shows that the producers of "My Sister" include Hengdian Film and Television, Chinese Film, Maoyan Entertainment, and Ali Pictures.
"Journey to the West: The Reincarnation of the Demon King" is behind Chinese movies and Maoyan Entertainment.
The producers of "Eleventh Time" include Maoyan Entertainment and Chinese movies.
"Tomorrow will be good" is the investor of Guangguang Media.
Zhu Zhu believes that due to the holiday effect, the supply of high-quality content has pushed the box office to show a schedule effect.
However, the Ching Ming period is relatively short, and its effect on the box office is not as good as the Spring Festival file. If there are dark horse movies in the next 51 files, it can also be expected to pull the schedule.
