27 Movies To Be Screen in August - Summer Box Office Almost Hit 9 Billion Yuan

A summary translation by J.Ong (PS: I changed the picture used in the report to Scent's ) :

It is reported that the performance of Chinese box office records for this summer of 2014 has created a new record level. In June, total box office closed at 2.81 billion yuan. In July, it closed at 3.61 billion yuan. Two-thirds of summer has past and already the box office records of 6.4 billion yuan has almost reach last year's record of 8 billion yuan. Despite that August is often holding the lowest summer box office record as summer is ending, experts remain bullish for this year. This is due to 27 new movies that will be hitting the cinema this month and the summer goal is almost reaching the final battle of  "9 billion yuanbox office record. The writer is anticipating who will be the biggest player to bring in the highest box office record in August.  Below are some of the movies that the writer thinks will likely to perform.


2014年这个暑期档注定要掀开中国影市的新篇章了,6月全国总票房报收28.1亿元,7月报收36.1亿元,已过去2/3的暑期档已经完胜去年,以64亿元的大勇状态直逼原定目标80亿元。不过,每年的8月从来都是暑期档的小高潮,因此,行家一直看好:今年足足有27部新片坐镇的今夏暑期档最后一战目标直逼“90亿元”票房,且看谁家片子是破纪录的最大功臣了。

  最能赚钱或仍是进口片 (The most likely high performance film - will it be another import?)
  排头兵:《敢死队3》"The Expendables 3" 《猩球崛起》"Rise of the Planet of the Apes"  《驯龙高手2》"How to Train Your Dragon 2"
  即将在8月14日上映的《驯龙高手2》、8月20日上映的《敢死队3》、8月29日上映的《猩球崛起:黎明之战》分明是一副“票房明星相”。《驯龙高手2》二度来华,小粉丝们为之雀跃。此外,片方还请来了蒋雯丽、林更新和白百何三人为电影角色配音,粉丝团再次扩展为85后90后的年龄层。而三度来袭的“敢死队”阵容为西尔维斯特·史泰龙、杰森·斯坦森、李连杰。行家点评曰:“不废话了,暴力动作片的粉丝们都懂的。”而《猩球崛起:黎明之战》卖的则是出神入化的特效,人猿大战正式打响,动作捕捉技术再度发威,潮水一般的人猿大军效果令人叹为观止。再加上韩国爱情片《香气》"Scent"、“泰拳表演赛”一般的《冬荫功2》、气势磅礴的《庞贝末日》等片子,进口片8月总票房达10亿不是梦。

  
主攻手仍是国产片 (Chinese production movies)
  排头兵:《绣春刀》《爱情进化论》《四大名捕大结局》
  刚过一周,8月的票房就传来捷报,《白发魔女传》轻松过3亿元。哪怕剧本台词再“小白”一点,可谁又能抵挡范爷回眸一笑?接棒的《绣春刀》刘诗诗和张震新戏好评如潮,看来追赶范爷“迷魂一笑”令票房大卖也是指日可待的。令人惊喜的是由中央戏剧学院教授陈刚执导的《洋妞到我家》竟然也口碑票房双赚,片中随便一配角都是一大咖的格局真是令人惊喜。所以,记者大胆放言:阵容、特效加粉丝,是今夏票房制胜三件宝。
  为此,接下来由段奕宏、郭碧婷主演的美妞萌叔《爱情进化论》,还有由邓超、刘亦菲和苏有朋主演的《四大名捕大结局》虽然还没有上映,但圈内已呈现稳守两亿、坐等“吞四进五(亿)”的预言。
  
优秀动漫片再加一鞭 (Animation movies)
  排头兵:《秦时明月·龙腾万里》"Tai Shi Ming Yue . Dragon Miles"
《丛林之王》"King of the Jungle" in 3D
  中国首个弹幕动漫电影《秦时明月》首映日竟然大收1300万元,原因是这部系列作品已有7年的观众基础,小粉丝无数。在上映日的弹幕场,记者看见众多95后00后都以昵称呼喊片中人物角色,“小庄”、“天明我的爱”、“我的女神少司命”等在弹幕上翻翻滚滚,加之剧情猛吹中国风、CG技术,因此光线影业的工作人员私下讨论估计,“此片最后至少能收2亿票房!”
  同样,来自美国的3D动画电影《丛林之王》讲述了幼年流落秘林的小泰山成为丛林之王的励志故事。与以往众多版本不同的是,这是人猿泰山第一次以3D形式出现在大银幕上。影片与《阿凡达》一样采用顶尖的CG动作捕捉技术,视觉效果震撼人心。

  2. Wow! Nikki, good morning to you. What time is it at your side now?
    The editor didn't comment anything about Scent except that it is quoted as another one of import film from Korea which together with the other popular movies, raking in 1 billion yuan in August would not be a dream.
    But to classify Scent as one of import film is not accurate as the movie is a Chinese production film with only 1 foreign (Korean) actor taking on the leading male role.

    1. It's 3:20 am. over here! Actually I think I woke up about an hour ago!^^

      You're right! Just one import actor ( as they called it ) turns Scent to be an import film is totally misinform! But what this reporter saw is the impact of Park Si Hoo that bring the movie into spot light! I remember at the beginning, many of them ignored Park Si Hoo, they kept reporting about Chen Ran or other actors but now all eyes focus on one particular person then we just say : You eat pizza at Pizza hut in Beijing that made by Chinese people and 99% of the ingredients may be from local suppliers but we still call it Pizza from USA, right! Hahaha!
