Theaters in December, the last month of the year Authentic Devante Smith-Pelly Jersey , are often crowded with domestic productions. This year is no different, despite the fact that fewer Hollywood blockbusters have been imported into the Chinese mainland this year.
The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water (December 1), Point Break and Rush are the only imports currently scheduled to hit theaters in the mainland next month. While foreign flicks only offer up an animated feature and two action flicks, Chinese films provide a wider variety of genres to choose from, although comedies still make up the majority Authentic Madison Bowey Jersey , an indication that studios feel audiences are more willing to let loose some pressure through some laughter rather than some thought-provoking stories at the end of the year.
Happy days are here again
Premiering Friday, so actually still in November, Bad Guys Always Die is another China-South Korea co-production that is the result of the warming relations between the two countries movie industries. While director Sun Hao is still a new name, the film's two producers - Feng Xiaogang and Kang Je-gyu - are widely recognizable names in their home countries and even beyond.
Starring a number of popular actors and actresses from both countries, Bad Guys Always Die tells the story of four Chinese men who find themselves caught up in a criminal enterprise after accidentally saving a South Korean woman from a car accident while on vacation on South Korea's Jeju Island.
Though Bad Guys Always Die is not the first crime comedy co-produced between the two countries Authentic Lars Eller Jersey , the limited number of films in this genre means audiences have yet to get tired of it. The success of 2012's The Thieves shows the genre is still going strong.
However, it may not all be smooth sailing for the film. Screened at this year's Pusan International Film Festival, critics have remarked that while the film has a big ambition to make a Hollywood-style film, it fails to tell an interesting story. Perhaps the film will strike a chord with audiences in China.
Surprise is another comedy but in a different vein. The big screen directorial debut for Yi Xiaoxing, Surprise is the film adaptation of his popular online series of the same name. While the show is extremely popular for spoofing current social issues Authentic Jakub Vrana Jersey , the film turns its focus on the classic Chinese literature work Journey to the West. The story takes place during the early years of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in a small town called Shiniu, where a local man Wang Dachui is treated as an idol due to his skill with magic. However, when the Monkey King and his friends come to the town, Wang's status as a magician is challenged.
Journey to the West is a work that has been adapted countless times in China to both the applause and critiques of audiences. Which camp Surprise will end up falling in should become clear when it premieres in mainland theaters on December 18.
The end of the month sees another comedy, Devil and Angel Jay Beagle Jersey , starring the actor couple of Sun Li and Deng Chao.
Last year, director and scriptwriter Yu Baimei cooperated with Deng on the comedy The Breakup Guru. Though the film did not live up to expectations critically speaking, it still grossed more than 600 million yuan ($96.72 million) at the box office.
Popular for her role in Legend of Zhenhuan, adding Sun to the cast seems to be trying to make up for the poor reputation of her husband's last film.
