Chinese New Year is a golden period for film releases in China, with distributors fighting for the limited cinema slots. Last year, China’s box office took in more than 5.5 billion yuan in ticket sales in the first week of Chinese New Year. That is about 9.2% of China’s total box office of 2018. Now check out some of the most popular films this Spring Festival.
1. Crazy Alien
Starring popular comedian Huang Bo and Matthew Morrison, Crazy Alien portrays how the arrival of an alien on Earth shakes up the poor lives of Huang and his friend, played by Shen Teng. The film will appeal to fans of the hugely popular film Crazy Stone, which also stars Huang and was directed by the same director, Ning Hao.
2. Pegasus
Directed and written by famous Chinese author and racer Han Han, Pegasus stars Shen Teng as a former racer who decides to get back into the game. With no money, racing car or partners, he has his work cut out for him in taking on young racing talents.
3. The Wandering Earth
The Wandering Earth is a special-effects laden science thriller about humanity’s quest to find a new home in the face of the coming destruction of the sun. The film stars many well-known Chinese directors, who left the directing seat to support director Frant Gwo, including Crazy Alien’s Ning Hao, A Cool Fish’s Rao Xiaozhi and the Wolf Warriors series’ Wu Jing.
4. The New King of Comedy
Directed and written by Stephen Chow, the film portrays the wish of a small-town woman to become a film star. Given the Chinese audience’s long-standing love for Chow’s films and humor, The New King of Comedy is certain to become a box office hit.
