数据显示,截至23日大年初二上午,2023年春节档(1月21日-1月27日)总票房(含预售)突破20亿元。《流浪地球2》《满江红》《无名》分列春节档票房前三位。
在电影院里过春节,这些年来已经成了中国人的新“民俗”。经过疫情期间的三年沉淀,中国电影人也更能静下心来,潜心创作,从类型丰富性到剧本扎实度等,都有了稳步提升。
《流浪地球2》
The Wandering Earth II
四年前,《流浪地球》的横空出世,让网友们惊呼国产科幻片终于崛起了。但此后几经浮沉,再加上疫情对电影产业的影响,始终罕有同样高质量的国产科幻片问世。如今,被郭帆导演昵称为“小破球”的这部科幻巨制,终于迎来了第二部。
As one of the most anticipated blockbusters during the Spring Festival holiday, director Guo Fan's sci-fi epic 
The Wandering Earth 
has returned to the silver screen with a second installment.

因为这部续作是前传,在第一部里壮烈牺牲的宇航员刘培强,能在新作里再度与观众们“相逢”,让他曾经的人生故事更为丰满。刘德华所带来的新角色图恒宇也激发了我们对数字生命更多的思考。
As a prequel of the first movie, the new tale takes place in an earlier period, recounting how the world is facing an unprecedented crisis and plans to migrate the Earth out of the solar system by installing more than 10,000 enormous fusion-powered engines on the Earth. It explains why humanity has decided to move the Earth out of the solar system for a new home in the galaxy.
《流浪地球2》的故事依然很硬科幻,这次的特效制作,也证明了中国电影工业可以很行。
It also delves into some intriguing, hard-core, sci-fi concepts such as digital immortality, the movie has been widely hailed as a visual feast that features many special-effect scenes, indicating improvements in the Chinese film industry.
《满江红》
Full River Red
从《悬崖之下》到今年的《满江红》,“宝刀不老”的张艺谋,证明了他可以在不同时代的背景里,游刃有余地嵌入一个又一个充满张力的悬疑故事。
Zhang Yimou, one of China's most prominent and prolific directors, has returned to the fiercely competitive Spring Festival holiday box office with his latest directorial effort, Full River Red.
虽然我们每个人小时候,都在语文课本里背过岳飞的《满江红》,但可能很少有人想过,风波亭里到底发生过什么样的悲壮。
The movie is named after the ancient Chinese military general Yue Fei's most famous poem. It is the second time that Zhang has entered the Spring Festival season after last year's critically acclaimed war film, Snipers, which he co-directed with his daughter, Zhang Mo, that grossed 607 million yuan ($87 million).
电影《满江红》由张艺谋导演,沈腾、易烊千玺、张译主演,讲述南宋绍兴年间,岳飞死后4年,秦桧率兵与金国会谈。会谈前夜,金国使者死在宰相驻地,所携密信也不翼而飞。小兵张大(沈腾饰)与亲兵营副统领孙均(易烊千玺饰)机缘巧合被裹挟进这巨大阴谋之中……
《满江红》以极具戏剧张力的方式、重重叠叠的反转,在历史的褶皱里创造了一群愿为民族大义慷慨赴死的小人物。无论是沈腾的张大,还是易烊千玺的孙均,甚至是雷佳音的秦桧,都值得一品再品。
With a stellar cast led by comedian megastar Shen Teng and pop idol-turned actor Yi Yangqianxi, the movie, set during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279), fictionalizes a twist-studded drama inspired from the dynasty's most unjust case; one that framed Yue, a patriotic and genius military general, and led to his death, due to his high reputation being deemed as a threat to the emperor and his fancied minion Qin Hui.
Despite the inclusion of comedians, this film is an intense drama, inspired by historical events, mixing various elements from different genres.
《无名》
Hidden Blade
作为内地最有“上海味道”的导演之一,程耳再次将目光对准八十年前风云诡谲的上海。
Once holding the presale box office champion of Spring Festival, Hidden Blade marks director Cheng Er's new exploration of the turbulent and chaotic era in Shanghai around 80 years ago.
阔别《罗曼蒂克消亡史》七年,程耳再次以其独树一帜的镜头语言,铺设了一个更加扑朔迷离、更有意义的谜题。电影《无名》讲述了抗日战争(1931-45)时期,上海一群地下工作者冒着生命危险发送情报,保卫祖国的故事。
The tale centers on a group of underground workers in Shanghai who risked their lives to send intelligence and defend the motherland during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).
程耳说话轻声细语,语速比较慢,对剧本的构思,总是不断精益求精,甚至因为剧本改得太多,现场生生改出了一个新的角色,只好临时找来黄磊出演救场。
Cheng Er revealed in an earlier interview that the movie's script was revised many times, even during shooting, and thus interestingly gave him the inspiration to create a new character, played by the actor Huang Lei.
他还表示,电影中的许多细节,从简单的领带到餐桌上的菜肴,都可能是揭示电影中所有“神秘而复杂”角色隐藏身份的重要线索。
He also said that many of the details in the movie, from a simple tie to dishes set on a dinner table, could be important clues that will reveal the hidden identities of all the "mysterious and complex" roles in the movie.
在电影圈里,因为太过文艺有时就意味着绝缘于票房,这部被他戏称为“超级商业片”的《无名》,在影帝梁朝伟的犀利眼神之中,作为“顶流”王一博的首部大银幕处女作,早在上映前就备受期待。春节前几天,也在全国票房预售榜上,冲上冠军宝座。
《交换人生》
Five Hundred Miles
作为春节档唯一一部纯喜剧影片,《交换人生》轻松而温情,雷佳音将和张小斐共同演绎一段笑料百出的故事。
张小斐的《你好,李焕英》曾创造过54.13亿元的票房奇迹,也让贾玲在那年春节后,一举成为外媒关注的全球票房最高女导演。从《长安十二时辰》到《人世间》,雷佳音的功力有目共睹。这两人的组合,也为《交换人生》有值得期待之处。
Five Hundred Miles, a fantasy comedy directed by Su Lun, features veteran actor Lei Jiayin, who also featured in Full River Red, and actress Zhang Xiaofei, who rose to fame from Hi, Mom - one of the world's highest-grossing movies directed by females.
作为春节期间上映的唯一一部喜剧,这部电影虚构了一个年轻人和一个中年人的奇妙旅程。他们意外地交换了身体中的“灵魂”,从而改变了生活,在家庭中引起许多幽默时刻。
As the only comedy to be released during the holiday, the tale fictionalizes the fantastic journey of a young man and a middle-aged person, who unexpectedly exchange the "souls" in their bodies, allowing them to change their lives, and leading to many humorous moments within their families.
有网友说:春节档高手云集,但《交换人生》的类型很特殊,是唯一一部看完就能开开心心去吃饭的电影。兔年,开心就好。
《中国乒乓之绝地反击》
Ping Pong: The Triumph
中国的影片虽然年产量已达上千部,但体育题材影片其实并不多,这也让《中国乒乓》在选题上比较特殊。看之前,曾以为或许是《夺冠》这样的故事。看完首映后才发现这部体育影片有太多导演兼主演邓超的烙印。中国乒乓球运动员在1995年世乒赛上绝地反击的故事,被拍得搞笑幽默又荡气回肠。
Ping Pong: The Triumph, co-directed by Deng Chao and Yu Baimei, will released on the third day of the Spring Festival, marking the last title to join another six movies for the lucrative box office season.
电影《中国乒乓之绝地反击》是由邓超、俞白眉联合执导,邓超、孙俪等领衔主演的体育题材电影。该片讲述了1992年至1995年期间,蔡振华从国外回来担任主帅决心有一番作为,丁松、王涛、刘国梁、孔令辉等运动员在蔡振华的带领下,在天津世锦赛绝地反击的故事。
Revisiting the striving of China's national table tennis team in early 1990s, the movie follows the team's chief coach to lead his newly established, once-deemed-underdog team to win the Swaythling Cup at the World Team Table Tennis Championships in 1995.
除夕夜的春晚,邓超奉献了“动如脱兔”的表演,也让妻子孙俪戏称:“今年导演有经验了,就不能给邓超近镜,超哥一助跑,赶紧切广角。”看完这部片,大概更能理解邓超的运动天赋。
《熊出没·伴我“熊芯”》
Boonie Bears: Guardian Code
多年前,中国电影人很关注“系列电影”(franchise)的话题,业内一直认为:电影能稳定地拍摄续集,能带动周边衍生品生产,也能更好推动中国电影工业的成熟发展。
这一点,《熊出没》可谓是“先驱型选手”。动画片《熊出没·伴我“熊芯”》是《熊出没》系列电影的第九部,也是熊大、熊二的妈妈在时隔8年后首次正式出现在《熊出没》电影中。亲情和团圆的主题,在春节显得更为应景,估计也是不少小朋友们的春节首选。
As one of the longest running animated film franchises in China, Boonie Bears — the famous anthropomorphic bear siblings — will see their ninth and latest installment hit domestic theaters on the first day of the Year of the Rabbit, Jan 22.
此次《熊出没·伴我“熊芯”》以母爱为主题,讲述了光头强带着熊大熊二前往振兴岛参观机器人研究所,却意外得到了熊妈妈的线索。其背后究竟有着怎样的故事?敬请期待!
In the sequel, Boonie Bears: Guardian Code, the titular bear brothers unexpectedly discover a clue related to their missing mother, who was lost in a forest fire many years ago. Briar and Bramble, the bear siblings, embark on an adventure to seek out the most important reunion of their lives.
《深海》
Deep Sea
时隔八年,《大圣归来》导演田晓鹏的新作《深海》终于问世。
Marking director Tian Xiaopeng's second feature, 
Deep Sea 
has been shortlisted to contend for the Berlin festival's Generation Kplus, a competition program which screens state-of-the-art international cinema.

Tian shot to fame after his directorial debut Monkey King: Hero is Back, a dark horse which soared in 2015 and has been widely considered a game changer that revived the then struggling domestic animated industry.
《深海》构建了一个不同于以往的全新海底世界,讲述了一名少女在神秘海底世界追寻探索,邂逅一段独特生命旅程的故事。在奇幻冒险的外壳下,《深海》承载的是对于生命的探讨。
Delving into the theme of fighting loneliness, Deep Sea tells the story of Shenxiu, a girl who has felt a deep sadness ever since  she was abandoned by her mother. While on a family cruise, she falls into the sea and breaks into a mysterious restaurant where she meets an inventive underwater chef and embarks on a journey between dreams and reality.
上周,这部影片入围柏林电影节新生代单元,也成为许多影迷们最为期待的动画大片。《深海》最令人惊艳的,是将中国传统文化与核心技术进行结合,开创“粒子水墨”这一独属于中国的全新三维动画,让中国文化傲然扬帆出海。
看完《深海》,也许你会有很复杂的感觉,甚至觉得这个田晓鹏是你完全不熟悉的田晓鹏,甚至也会让你好奇导演的内心里,到底住着怎样一个不羁的艺术灵魂。无论如何,这样八年磨一剑、细细打磨的作品,值得钦佩与感慨。
今年的贺岁大片,你看了哪部呢?
