Starring: Jia Ling, Shen Teng, Chen He, Zhang Xiaofei, Wei Xiang
Genre: Drama, Comedy
Jia Ling and Shen Teng can be described as the current national humor, and the nostalgic theme of family affection makes this film particularly suitable for the Spring Festival file that values "family fun".

Innovative formula: "Assassination of Novelists"
Starring: Lei Jiayin, Yang Mi, Dong Zijian, Yu Hewei, Guo Jingfei
Type: Action, Fantasy, Adventure
As the most anticipated film by domestic film professionals in 2021, "Assassination of Novelists" is full of appealing freshness from top to bottom.
Shuang Xuetao's original novel is very innovative. The work connects the two worlds inside and outside the novel. One is the fantasy world written by the novelist, and the other is the fate of everyone in the real world.
Two related and completely different clues entangle the ups and downs. The switching of scenes and the switching of character identities remind people of the previous Hollywood blockbuster "Number One Player", but this Chinese story is obviously more Chinese-style in level and depth, which is more important for Chinese audiences. Words, intimacy and empathy are not the same.
In addition to novel stories, the film has invested heavily in special effects, and the fantasy scenes in the trailer alone are eye-opening.
Also worth mentioning is the director of the film. Lu Yang has shown his ability to control the atmosphere and characters in "Embroidered Spring Knife". This two-line story means more to the young director. The play space also means greater challenges.

In "Order of the God of Servant", Chen Kun is the Qingming and Zhou Xun in the original work. In the story, the two people turn from old friends to enemies of life and death. The emotional entanglement is subtle and complicated, and they open up, plus two acting actors. For the audience, it's very interesting.
In addition to the luxurious cast, the participation of the well-known Asian film music master Mei Linmao has also attracted attention. Mei Linmao once played the soundtrack of films such as "In the Mood for Love", "Ambush on Ten Sides" and "A Grand Master".
In addition, the Japanese art master Yoshihito Akatsuka, known for his unique "Oriental Ghost Aesthetics", served as the artistic director.
Judging from the trailer, the spectacle world of coexistence between humans and monsters, rich oriental aesthetics, and the magnificent and identity-fitting shape of the protagonist-the "exquisite formula" of "Samurai God Order" has undoubtedly been presented on the "finished product".
Enough formula: "The Crowd"
Starring: Andy Lau, Xiao Yang, Wan Qian
Genre: drama, comedy, crime
The results of pre-sales show that in this lunar new year with a lot of highlights, the presence of "Rushing Crowds" is not strong, but it is not difficult to feel that the current "little transparency" is definitely not simple. .

In 2016, it was reproduced as "Lucky Key" by a Korean filmmaker, which was also praised.
For a period of time, the reputation of Chinese remakes was not good, but the success of "Manslaughter" turned everything around. It is a coincidence that the hero of "The Crowd" is again Xiao Yang.
Not only is Xiao Yang looking forward to, the person who exchanges identities with Xiao Yang in the film is the "always super top-tier" Andy Lau.
It is said that Andy Lau is very valued and attentive to the role this time, and the whole shooting process was greatly enjoyed by his strong interest in the story.
In addition to the story and the starring role, the director of the film is not a general generation. Rao Xiaozhi once directed the 2018 dark horse film "The Unknown", which shows his ability to control absurd comedy.
Therefore, "The Crowd" cannot be underestimated.
Mix and match: "New God List: Nezha Rebirth"
Type: Animation, Fantasy, Action
Another animated film featuring Ne Zha as the main character is a completely different story.
The spirit and core of traditional myths and mecha punk, this mix and match is enough to make people curious.
In the summer of 2019, the national comic film "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World" stunned the big screen.
The success of that edition of Nezha is considered to be the key to being given a modern interpretation.
"New God List: Nezha Rebirth" goes a step further, in the film Nezha's soul escapes the net of heaven and earth, and is reincarnated from life to life. In this life, he lives in symbiosis with Li Yunxiang, a young man who loves motorcycles in Donghai City.
The bold "mix and match" is not only reflected in the story, but also the look and feel of the film is quite different from that of the previous national comics. The national tide and steampunk all give people a fresh visual experience.
In addition, the producer of "New God List: Nezha Rebirth", the high-level production of the chasing animation, which is called "the ceiling of domestic animation film production" in the industry, is also very exciting.
