Today, the 3-month 2023 summer season will end. According to the Lighthouse Professional Edition, the box office of the summer season in mainland China exceeded 20.4 billion, with over 500 million viewers, continuously breaking the record for the highest box office of the summer season in Chinese film history. Looking back at the summer vacation season, there are constantly "famous scenes" - "The Disappearing She" and "The Underwater Starry Sky" are romantic and cruel, "Chang'an 30000 Miles" and "The Scenery of the Tang Dynasty" are intoxicating, "desperate" refers to "overseas online fraud", "Fengshen Part 1" is a brilliant adaptation of traditional culture in the current context, and "In the Octagonal Cage" has made Wang Baoqiang a comeback. Behind the impressive data is the excellent quality of the film, which the audience likes. These blockbusters, except for "The First installment of the Goddess of Legends," are all the first or second works of new directors. The emergence and growth of new forces in cinema have accumulated valuable resources for the future of Chinese cinema. The summer season close-up successfully took over, and young directors handed in a dazzling transcript. This year's hottest summer season has produced multiple popular films, with box office and word-of-mouth flying, full of topics. They either focus on the spread of traditional culture in the present, or pay attention to social realities such as overseas online fraud, domestic violence, family education, or boldly enter rare legal themes... Young directors have successfully taken over in their continuous growth. Since its release on the Dragon Boat Festival, "The Disappearing She" has been leading the way with its extremely hot topic, currently grossing over 3.5 billion yuan at the box office, directed by Cui Rui and Liu Xiang. This film is Cui Rui's first feature film after his return to China, with the support and assistance of director Chen Sicheng. It is reported that Chen Sicheng has also entrusted him with directing the drama series "Chinatown Detective: The Youth Detective Group". Another director, Liu Xiang, has a background in photography. His last feature film was "The Invisible Guest" in 2021, which is his second work. The film "Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an" by Chasing Light Animation is the first work of directors Xie Junwei and Zou Jing, which sparked a heated discussion on the internet after its release. Many experts say that through "Three Thousand Miles in Chang'an", "we have seen that domestic animation is colliding and dialogue with traditional culture in a powerful manner, rather than labeling Tang poetry on the altar", and "Chinese animation has found its own driving force - Eastern poetry". In terms of real-life films, "In the Octagonal Cage" is director Wang Baoqiang's second work, drawn from real events, and the story of a small character's counterattack resonates widely. The film "All in One Bet" is the director's second bid for the Olympics. The topic of "overseas online fraud" is extremely topical, and its box office performance is very outstanding, with a box office revenue of over 3.4 billion yuan. There are many other new directors, including Qin Haiyan, the director of the anti domestic violence film "I Passing through the Storm", Xia Mingze and Yan Kai, the directors of the comedy animated film "Tea Ah 2 Middle School", Su Liang, the director of the family education film "Learning Dad", Li Taige, the director of the legal film "The Last Truth", and so on. These young filmmakers with a clearer understanding of the film industry have injected "fresh blood" into the summer film market, showing everyone the possibility of more development of domestic films. It is worth mentioning that on August 29th, the 6th China Film New Power Forum was held in Changchun, Jilin, with the theme of "New Era, New Journey, New Power - Film and Audience Together"
