Looking forward to seeing you in the cinema: A list of Chinese-language films worth watching in 2020 (Part 1)

Since the beginning of 2020, there have been many setbacks, and the film industry has also suffered a great impact. Major films originally scheduled for the Spring Festival and Valentine's Day have been withdrawn, and the release time is yet to be confirmed. I believe that after this disaster is over, when to reschedule the film will become a headache for the film producers. So in addition to "Detective Chinatown 3", "Jiang Ziya", "Win the Championship (Chinese Women's Volleyball Team)", "Emergency Rescue", etc., which should have been released by everyone, what other Chinese films are worth looking forward to in 2020? Here is a small inventory for everyone.

Li Na

Director: Peter Chan

Starring: Hu Ge / Vincent Cassel / Zhang Xiner

"Li Na", which started earlier than "Chinese Women's Volleyball", is also expected to be released in 2020. Also directed by Chen Kexin, Hu Ge will play Li Na's husband Jiang Shan, and French actor Vincent Cassel will play Li Na's Argentine coach.

Although the film has been completed, who will play the adult Li Na is still a secret. The film will reproduce the ups and downs of Li Na's love for tennis from Wuhan to Beijing and then to Paris and London.

Solid as a Rock

Director: Zhang Yimou

Compared with the high-profile "On the Cliff", Zhang Yimou's "Rock Solid" seems to be quiet. But now, the film has been completed and is waiting to be released.

"Solid as a Rock" is Zhang Yimou's first attempt at a contemporary film after "If You Are the One" after many years. It is also his first attempt at a police and gangster film. Previously, when the film was filmed in Chongqing, Reuters photos of the leading actors were leaked, but who will star in it? Let's wait for news about this film in 2020.

Flowers in the Dust

Director: Chen Kaige

Starring: Liu Haoran/Chen Feiyu/Zhang Xueying/Wen Qi

It is very suitable to let Liu Haoran, Chen Feiyu, Zhang Xueying and Wen Qi perform a youth film together. I just don't know what kind of different style director Chen Kaige will give to their youth. It is reported that "Flowers in the Dust" will focus on the key period of the growth of several teenagers, telling the story of their hard work and realization of self-worth after experiencing hardships and confusion.

The Gods Trilogy

Director: Wu Ershan

Starring: Huang Bo/Chen Kun/Xia Yu/Li Xuejian/Fei Xiang

Release time: Summer 2020

If we talk about the most important IP series in the next few years, "The Investiture of the Gods Trilogy" should definitely be ranked first. The series is based on the well-known Chinese classical novel "The Investiture of the Gods", which tells a long-lasting mythological war between humans, immortals and demons more than 3,000 years ago. The trilogy has an investment of more than 3 billion yuan and took 10 years to prepare and shoot. It is an absolutely highly industrialized commercial blockbuster.

At present, the first episode of "Fengshen Trilogy" is scheduled to be released in the summer of 2020. Previously, the film exposed a 30-second trailer, showing many wonderful clips, including Huang Bo's old Jiang Ziya, Chen Kun's Yuanshi Tianzun, and Fei Xiang's Shang King Yin Shou, which sparked heated discussions among netizens.

"749 Bureau"

Director: Lu Chuan

Starring: Wang Junkai/Miao Miao/Zheng Kai/Ren Min/Xin Baiqing

In mid-2019, the mysterious Bureau 749 was filmed in Beijing, Chongqing, Northwest China, Inner Mongolia and other places. Bureau 749 is a real institution in history, a confidential unit specializing in the study of supernatural phenomena. According to Lu Chuan, this film under the sci-fi shell will show many themes such as growth, youth, romance, adventure, action, etc.

Apart from a few photos taken on the set, no more materials about "Bureau 749" have been released. However, the outside world has always had high expectations for the performance of young actors such as Wang Junkai.

Order of the Samurai

Director: Li Weiran

Starring: Chen Kun / Zhou Xun / Qu Chuxiao / Shen Yue

Fortunately, "The Order of the Samurai" was finally completed before the popularity of the "Onmyoji" mobile game faded.

In the latest trailer of the patch "Only Yun Knows", the looks of the leading actors such as Chen Kun, Qu Chuxiao, and Shen Yue were all exposed. From this video, the style of "The Order of the Samurai" and the "Onmyoji" mobile game looks quite different, and is more in line with the style of Tsui Hark's works (such as the "Detective Dee" series). In terms of the plot, the film will present the ultimate battle between the magician Qin Yun played by Chen Kun and the evil monsters from the perspective of the "magician".
