The Return of Wan Li is about to break 1 billion at the box office, and its reputation is also very high. Only the traffic+strength faction can work?
The situation of the National Day movie was fierce, and the filmmakers tried their best to create momentum for the movie, trying to expand the popularity of the road and warm up the topic. According to professional reports, Wan Li’s Return, Ordinary Hero and Iron Will occupy the top three box office lists of new films in the National Day (including screening and pre-sale), and the box office of the first-place Wan Li’s Return is more than seven times that of the second-place Ordinary Hero, which shows the high popularity.

At present, The Return of Wan Li has a box office of 954 million, and it is just around the corner to break through the 1 billion mark, and everyone has given favorable comments. The phrase "no money wasted" is enough to prove the strength of the film.

This year’s National Day files are mostly themed movies. From the real-time box office, "Wan Li’s Way Home" is very popular and far ahead of other movies. Ordinary Will has a higher box office than Iron Hero, and its growth trend is relatively gentle. The performance of animated films is average, and the box office results remain to be seen.

In recent years, "flow+strength" has become a favorite combination of producers, so that the box office is guaranteed and the probability of thunder is relatively small. It can be said that the box office has a good reputation.
Take "The Way Back to Wan Li" as an example, the starring cast has the flow like Karry, and powerful actors like Zhang Yi and Yin Tao. However, Karry is also trying to transform. The Broken Bridge, which was released in the summer, made many audiences see his acting progress.

The media predicted that "The Return of Wan Li" would eventually end at around 2 billion yuan. Without a strong opponent, it is almost certain that "The Return of Wan Li" will become the biggest winner of the National Day file.
Combined with the national day movie market in recent three years, the main theme movie is still one of the best. My People,My Country, My People My Homeland and The Battle at Lake Changjin won the National Day box office in 2019, 2020 and 2021 with 3.17 billion yuan, 2.829 billion yuan and 5.775 billion yuan respectively, and My Father and I also ranked second in the National Day box office in 2021 with 1.477 billion yuan. This kind of film has the dual influence of "box office+word of mouth" and is a well-deserved mainstream.



Among these main melody films, The Battle at Lake Changjin’s achievements are particularly outstanding. The film is jointly directed by Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark and Lin Chaoxian, starring Jason Wu, Jackson Yee, Duan Long, Oho Ou, Zhu Yawen, etc. It is not easy to listen to the main lineup. The Battle at Lake Changjin has launched a group of powerful actors, and any leading actor’s name is famous.
Among these actors, Jackson Yee is a real flow. Together with The Battle at Lake Changjin, Jackson Yee’s major films have grossed over 7 billion.

The reason why the main melody film can be loved by the audience and its popularity is always high is not unrelated to the brilliant script and excellent team. When it comes to this kind of film, the audience’s first reaction is no longer "expert and red", but can feel the deep values conveyed by the film. The particularity of the theme does not limit the expression of the story. Starting from the details, it depicts the magnificent history and the true feelings of the characters from point to point.
In addition, drama movies are also favored by the audience. For example, The Captain and The Climbers, who ranked second and third in the National Day of 2019, all told the story of individual’s small efforts converging into great energy under extreme circumstances. Both films have event prototypes, and the realistic plot presentation adds more persuasiveness to the films, thus bringing more insights and reflections to the audience.
In the previous box office list of National Day movies, animated movies once occupied the forefront, and Legend of Deification in 2020 was a typical example. The movie finally topped 1.6 billion at the box office, second only to My People My Homeland. The rise of domestic animated films is inseparable from the ingenuity of the creative team and is closely related to the aesthetic changes of the audience. 、

Looking back at this year’s National Day archives, the results of the main melody film are particularly gratifying, and "Wan Li’s Return" is even more praised. After three days of release, the box office has exceeded 300 million, and the number of people watching movies is about 7.6 million. More than 90% of them have given five stars.
"Seeing is earning", with Zhang Yi’s Yin Tao Zhu Yu in the front, and Karry also handed over a brilliant answer sheet to the audience. Although compared with the two predecessors, there is still a lack of qualifications, but both performance and original lines, Karry surprised the audience and broke the inherent impression of "the winner of the film".

Some people have a boiling passion after watching the movie, and directly put "malicious words": the best-looking domestic movie is not good enough to hit me. I can see it’s true love powder.

Another main melody blockbuster, Ordinary Heroes, has a good reputation. Taobao Film scored 9.4, ranking second in the mainland box office list in a week, and there is still much room for growth.
Generally speaking, "Wan Li’s Way Home" has an absolute advantage in the current National Day movies, and it should be the biggest winner in the National Day movies. "Ordinary Hero" and "Iron Will" are popular, and the box office is relatively leading, and they can also get a share in the National Day file. The animated film "New Big-headed Son and Little-headed Dad 5: My Alien Friend" scored well, but the final performance depends on the follow-up efforts.

Whether this year’s National Day file can make persistent efforts and bring new surprises to the audience will wait and see.
