1905 movie network news As the National Day of 2020 is approaching, Wanda Film and Television Group has released the 2021-2022 annual film list. A number of key film and television works of the group’s three companies, Wanda Film and Television, New Media Eslite and Chengya Film and Television, have unveiled the mysterious veil. There are not only super IPs such as the highly anticipated "Dragon Seeking Art 2", but also science fiction masterpieces such as "Folding City" adapted from the Hugo Award-winning novel "Beijing Folding", as well as covering high-potential genre films such as "Manslaughter 2" and "I Want to See You" movie versions. At the same time, there are also many high-quality dramas such as "Young People Under the Yangmen", "Thank You Doctor", "Legend of Immortals and Swords", "Trumpeter in Place" and "Romance".
Focus on cinema powerhouses
As an advocate of "high-quality content + industrial production", Wanda Film and Television’s film list this time is full of surprises, among which the continuation of super IPs such as "Detective Chinatown 3" and "Dragon Seeking Art 2" is the most eye-catching. Taking "Detective Chinatown 3" as an example, the film is still the highest-rated film on the dual platforms of Cat’s Eye & Taobao Tickets. The cumulative number of people who want to watch it on the dual platforms exceeds 10 million, establishing a hegemonic position in the future schedule.
With the maturation of the Chinese film market, "genre films" will become an important source of box office output in the future. Wanda Pictures’ film list also confirms this trend, including science fiction, suspense, youth, love and other strong genre films. "Mozart in Outer Space" directed by Chen Sicheng, "Cosmos Exploration Editorial Department" supervised by Guo Fan, and "Folding City" based on the Hugo Award novel "Beijing Folding" will greatly satisfy the needs of science fiction fans. Including "Mistake 2", "Swallowing the Sea", "Three Battalions" and "Mystery" and many other detective and suspense works will also continue to burn the brain of the big screen. At the same time, youth love themes such as (tentatively named), the movie version of the phenomenal TV series "I Want to See You", and the high-scoring online drama adaptation "I Don’t Want to Be Friends with You" can not only continue the popularity of the previous work, but also meet the needs of young audiences.
In addition, the aerospace theme "Shenzhou" and "Forty-three Days of Shangganling", which tells the story of resistance to the United States and aid Korea, are closely related to the main theme film and the spirit of inheritance across the times, which also makes the industry and beyond shine.
Create a high-quality drama series
As the record label of the TV series under Wanda, the works launched by New Media Eslite this time are closely related to the hot pulse, covering the three mainstream themes of the times, family and the workplace. The third installment of the "Under Zhengyangmen" series, "Young People Under Zhengyangmen", focuses on the history of young people’s youthful struggles and shows their vibrant spirit. For mainstream family audiences, the three works of "Dear Parents", "Dear Children" and "Full-time Dad" work together to bring the ups and downs of Chinese families. "Thank You Doctor" starring Yang Mi and Bai Yu focuses on medical care, while "Cm of Love" starring Tong Liya and Tong Dawei tells the urban marriage between a female captain and a male doctor.
After the success of "White Head of Twilight" and "Glazed Glass", the new media Eslite will launch more masterpieces on the theme of ancient costumes and heroes in the next two years. The most concerned are the new "Legend of Immortal Sword and Fairy", which is the masterpiece of "Xianxia", and the adaptation of another popular novel by its author Guan Pingchao, "The Story of Burning Souls". In addition, there are many adaptations such as "Youth Sifang Zhi", "Dream Awakening Chang’an" and "Agarwood Fragrance", which lead the audience to walk through the novels and experience the touching love and hate in the rivers and lakes.
At the same time, industrialization and refinement are not only at the film level, but also a series of super dramas such as "Trumpeter in Place", "Air Battle" and "Female Soldiers Array" are all key projects dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party.
Create online high-quality products
Nowadays, online drama series and online movies are attracting more and more attention. Shooting high-quality content and rich and diverse genres will undoubtedly become a major trend in the industry. In this regard, Chengya Film and Television, a subsidiary of Wanda Film and Television Group, focuses on the production of online student content and dramas, striving to meet the multi-faceted needs of audiences by producing rich and high-quality content.
The company will make efforts in the field of high-quality dramas, assembling high-quality content and heavy creators. Currently, there are blockbuster dramas such as "Romance" and "Riding the Wind and Waves" in preparation. Among them, "Romance" is adapted from Xia Yan’s play "Under the Eaves of Shanghai", which tells the different fates of different characters from different classes in the national era. The play is directed by Zhang Ting, who filmed "Daming Fenghua", and brings together Yao Chen, Fan Wei and other powerful actors.
In addition, it will also focus on the development of high-quality online movies, and will produce a series of films including "Airborne Platoon", "Security Diary" and "Powerful Miracle", hoping to surprise audiences with rich emotions.
Wanda launched the 2021-2022 film list on the eve of the first National Day after the resumption of work, with more than 40 new works spanning the three major fields of cinema movies, online dramas, and online works. This will undoubtedly send a strong signal to the industry and beyond, and also convey more positive messages.
