5. "30,000 Miles from Chang'an"

6. Boonie Bears: Bear Core with Me

7. "Life Is Not Familiar"

8. The First Part of Conferred Gods

9. Fast & Furious 10

10. Nameless

Among them, recently released movies such as "She Vanished", "30,000 Miles in Chang'an", and "The First Part of the God Investiture" also made the list and entered the top ten, which is a very good result.

Especially recently, "30,000 Miles of Chang'an" and "Fengshen I" have been very popular, both of which are films with strong Chinese cultural characteristics.

Of course, popularity and controversy go hand in hand. For example, "30,000 Miles in Chang'an" was criticized for deleting the scenes of Luoyang in the adaptation, and was even boycotted by local audiences.

Some netizens said that the adaptation should be clearly marked, otherwise many children would be misled when watching it.

"The First Part of the Investiture of the Gods" is even more controversial. First of all, it was criticized for its production cost before it was released. But at present, the film's special effects, actors, costumes and props are all well put in, and the production cost is indeed not low.

In addition, the choice of a mixed-race actress to play the role of Daji in the film was also criticized, and some people also believed that the adaptations of Daji and King Zhou were excessive.
