You can’t finish watching one movie in one day!
During the 8-day National Day holiday, 13 films will be released, covering a variety of genres including main themes, action, comedy, animation, etc. You can’t watch them all in one day!
IP films were a major highlight of this year's National Day holiday. Chen Kaige's "Volunteers: Bloody Peace," the third installment in the "Volunteers" trilogy, depicts the heroic Chinese volunteers during the Korean War who brought the US military to the negotiating table, embarking on a new 747-day "fight-and-negotiate" campaign. While maintaining the epic quality of the first two films, it also focuses on depicting ordinary people on the battlefield. From Song Jia's portrayal of female translator Lin Yueming to Peng Yuchang's platoon leader Yao, who refused to fire in the neutral zone, both were memorable and moving. "Assassination of Novelist 2," returning after four years, boasts fully upgraded visual effects for a more immersive experience.
Animated films will delight all ages, with comedies and dramas equally captivating. In addition, "Bi Zhengming's Proof," "Crazy Computer City," and "Extreme City" will also be released, offering a unique way to celebrate the holidays.
