This year, the film market recovered, and the ** that had been backlogged for several years was released, and a lot of foreign films were introduced, helping the total box office to break 50 billion.
Zhang Yimou is a veteran of the family, and with "Man Jianghong" and "Solid as a Rock", he won the Spring Festival and National Day championships.
"All or Nothing" focuses on the theme of "electric fraud", and "Disappearing Her" refuses to gamble men and focuses on female mutual assistance, both of which have achieved good box office results.
Wang Baoqiang made a comeback with "In the Octagonal Cage", and the light-chasing animation switched to the new culture series, relying on "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an", and finally tasted 1 billion+ box office.
But we will not take stock according to the box office today, and introduce to you the 10 highest-rated Chinese movies in 2023 (based on the Douban score).
No. 10, "Bad Tongue Lawyer" 75 points.
The film won 1With a box office of 8.7 billion, it is naturally inconspicuous in the mainland market, but it is of great significance to Hong Kong films.
Harvest 1 in Hong Kong1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars, this is the first Hong Kong film in the history of Hong Kong film to break the box office of 100 million, which is of milestone significance and greatly encourages Hong Kong filmmakers.
Director Wu Weilun was a screenwriter before, and wrote films such as "Cold War 2" and "Anita Mui", but this is his first time as a director, and he has delivered a brilliant achievement, which is really rare.
Many people see it as the 2023 version of "Jiupin Sesame Official", focusing on a process of overturning the case and fighting back, which is amazing.
Huang Zihua's performance has added a lot of color, and it is very refreshing to watch him fight with his tongue, just like watching him perform a stand-up comedy.
In addition, the blessings of many good actors such as Xie Junhao, Wang Minde, and Lin Baoyi also added a lot to the film.
Ninth place, "Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun" 78 points.
The success of "Fengshen" made us realize that respecting the audience will win sincere applause.
Before the release, all parties were skeptical, such as the mythological theme has long been filmed, can a group of newcomers do it.
After the release, the audience spontaneously acted as tap water, knocked all kinds of CPs, and Hakimi, who was willing to be the king, was too good for "business Yinyu".
Ten years of sharpening a sword, three consecutive films, and training newcomers in a closed environment for 6 months, before it, no movie dared to do this.
But the main creative team withstood the pressure and made a mythological epic blockbuster that belongs to us Chinese.
There is an innovative adaptation of the story, Daji is no longer a red face, and the villain "Yin Shou" is no longer face-painted.
The first part is about Ji Fa's awakening and return, the second part is about protecting his homeland, and the third part is about saving the common people and becoming the master of the world.
Originally, the three films had been filmed and had been doing post-production, but in a serious manner, the crew also carried out a make-up shooting not long ago, looking forward to Wen Taishi's return to the dynasty as soon as possible.
Eighth place, "Three Teams" 79 points.
Score 78, currently up to 79. There may be changes later.
The film is adapted from the documentary literature "Please Tell the Director, the Three Brigades Task is Completed", which is a story of insisting on chasing the murderer.
The prototype focuses on Cheng Bing, and the screenwriter creates a group portrait, several friends from the three teams, in the process of chasing the murderer, some because of their family, some because of their son, and some because of illness and other reasons.
In the end, only Cheng Bing was left, and he had many reasons to give up, but he didn't until he was caught.
There are very few people like Cheng Bing, and most people can't be Cheng Bing, but this society needs people like him.
Of course, it is also necessary to pour a little cold water on the movie, such as the shooting technique, just like the TV series, lacking some texture.
Zhang Yi's performance is naturally a plus, but after watching him play the same type of role, it is inevitable that he will be a little aesthetically fatigued.
Seventh place, "I love you!".》7.9 points.
Another tearjerker film directed by Han Yeon, adapted from the Korean comic of the same name.
Let's talk about the advantages first, the old love is filmed with a sense of youth, Ni Dahong and Hui Yinghong, the pair, is like two young people falling in love, unusually romantic.
Confronting social issues, he focused his lens on the disadvantaged and discussed the plight of the elderly.
Then there is the performance of the actors, Leung Jiahui and Ye Tong's performances are of the top level, especially Ye Tong, who has played the appearance of an old man with Alzheimer's disease, and will no longer associate her with "Xu Xian" at all.
Naturally, there are shortcomings, the director blindly amplifies the mood, and uses a lot of soundtracks and flashback shots to tell you that you are going to cry at this time.
Advanced shooting techniques, to know how to converge, with details to move people, natural true feelings are the most moving.
Sixth place, "Removing the Three Evils in the Week" 81 point.
Chinese Taiwanese film, written and directed by Huang Jingfu, he is a Hong Kong director who previously filmed Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung's "Jianghu".
In this film, he quoted an ancient allusion and made a hearty crime action movie, which was commented by netizens as dark enough, exciting and interesting enough!
The story is actually relatively simple, Ruan Jingtian plays a wanted criminal, and then finds that he is only ranked 3rd, so he decides to kill the top two wanted criminals to show his value.
Ruan Jingtian has made great progress, creating such a crazy role, and his acting skills are free, but unfortunately he ran into Wu Kangren and failed to take the actor trophy home.
In addition, "Two Evils" is played by Chen Yiwen and Hong Kong actor Yuan Fuhua, the two powerful ones performed well, and actress Wang Jing also participated, but did not play much.
Fifth place, "Today's Public Holiday" 81 point.
Another Taiwanese film, a relaxed, warm, everyday and touching film.
There is no story of ups and downs in it, just telling about daily life, and there is a feeling of moisturizing things silently.
This film is the return of Lu Xiaofen after a long hiatus, she plays a hairdresser in the movie, looks at the people around her from her perspective, and conveys some of her life principles and behavior.
There are students, workers, the elderly, and children who come to her for haircuts, and they are of different ages and occupations, witnessing everyone's living conditions.
Think back to whether there are some barber shops and breakfast shops around your home that have been open for many years, and watching their changes also represent your own growth.
fourth place, "The Wandering Earth 2" 83 points.
In 2019, "The Wandering Earth" ended with 46With a box office of 8.7 billion, it successfully knocked on the door of Chinese science fiction films.
After a lapse of 4 years, the sequel is back, Guo Fan has once again raised the height of Chinese science fiction movies, the scene design and visual effects are more delicate, and the world view is hardcore enough.
Especially the parts such as "Space Elevator", "Moon Nuclear Explosion" and "Robot Dog Clumsy" do not lose some Hollywood blockbusters.
Mr. Li Xuejian's acting skills are old and spicy, and the role he plays is like a fool in the new era, with the most Chinese characteristics of the spirit of the times.
Andy Lau's role is not a small challenge, and the father-daughter relationship with his daughter is very moving, sacrificing himself to continue to be with his daughter in the form of a digital life.
There are also problems with the film, such as three story lines that lack interaction, which dissuade many people.
At present, "The Wandering Earth 3" has been officially announced, and it will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2027, which is worth looking forward to.
third place, "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" 83 points.
Light-chasing animation has been working on the theme of "mythology" before, but there has been no breakthrough at the box office.
Until this switch to the theme of "new culture", it not only created a new box office high for light-chasing animation, but also received a lot of praise, it seems that this path has been chosen.
The main creative team captured the romantic plot of the Chinese and filmed the prosperous Tang Dynasty, allowing us to witness those poets living in textbooks.
Li Bai is too familiar to Chinese, but it is not easy to shoot, the main creator tells him from a high-level perspective, and the two friends form a reflection.
Although their experiences are different, their hearts are the same, if they want to keep Chang'an and keep the Tang Dynasty, as long as the poetry is there, Chang'an will be there, and the Tang Dynasty will always be in our hearts.
Of course, the film also faces some controversy, and some plots are inconsistent with real history, but "Thirty Thousand Miles of Chang'an" is essentially a movie, and when it is created, artistic fiction is allowed, and it doesn't need to be too realistic.
second place, "Under the White Sun" 84 points.
The film is known as the Hong Kong version of "The Melting Pot", and the box office in Hong Kong has exceeded 20 million.
Adapted from a true story, ** various problems in private homes for the disabled, the movie throws out these problems, although there is no way to solve them, but it is already very meaningful.
It is difficult to attract investment for a realistic work like this, even if there is an endorsement from the producer Er Dongsheng, it took 5 bosses before and after, and finally found Gu Tianle to solve the problem.
Ku Tsai is now a Hong Kong movie tycoon, and he feels that making movies should not only consider business, but also take some responsibilities, so he chose to invest in this movie.
At first, he planned to play the role of "Dean", but found that it was inappropriate to wear elderly makeup, and then found Lin Baoyi.
Lin Baoyi himself doesn't like this role, how much does he hate it, it is said that he doesn't look in the mirror when he goes home, and after the filming is over, he immediately shaves his hair and leaves the role.
First place, "Youth Diary" 85 points.
Another work supervised by Er Dongsheng, with an investment of only 3.25 million Hong Kong dollars, Er Dongsheng did not collect money, and has been working hard to promote new directors.
The film uses an unsigned suicide note, a ten-year-old schoolboy who falls off a building and commits suicide, slowly revealing a childhood past full of violence and regret.
The movie is very clever, and at the beginning it uses editing techniques to create a suspenseful atmosphere, allowing us to guess whether the elder brother is dead or the younger brother.
When the mystery was revealed, a huge emotional impact came, and tears could no longer be stopped.
On the surface, the film is about domestic violence, school pressure and other issues, but it is deeper to reveal the trauma of East Asian families.
is like "Wading in the Sea of Anger", ostensibly chasing the murderer, but in fact criticizing unqualified parents.
Most of this year's Hong Kong films failed at the box office in the mainland market, such as "Breaking Point", "Assassination Storm", "Disconnected", "When the Wind Rises Again", "Don't Call Me "God of Gamblers" and so on.
But these are only one side of Hong Kong films, "Diary of a Youth" and "Under the White Sun" are the other side, as long as they exist, Hong Kong movies will not die.
