Beijing Youth Daily (Reporter Xiao Yang) The gross box office on June 1st was 140 million, breaking the record for the 61st stage of Chinese film history. Although the box office numbers of the 61st gear this year are pretty good, it is still difficult to resist “questioning” and in-depth research-why are so few excellent domestic children’s movies? This year’s 61st file ranked first in the Japanese animation “Doraemon: Walk with Me 2”; the second-ranked “Fast and Furious 9” stands here as a more adult-oriented film, allowing Liu The first file is a bit “weightless”; although the domestic animation “General Mobilization of the Submarine: Journey to the Center of the Earth” has entered the third place in the box office in one day, it is gratifying, but compared with the box office numbers of the first two, it has to admit that its competitiveness is partial. weak.
Compared to the 1980s and 1990s
There are too few movies for children today
Although Chinese movies are developing rapidly and the commercial film market is getting bigger and bigger, the domestic children’s film cake has always lacked coloring and fragrance. There are probably two major categories of domestic children’s films, one is cartoons, and the other is feature films starring children. Animated cartoons have improved slightly in recent years, and sporadic excellent works have appeared, such as “The Return of the Great Sage of the Journey to the West”, “The Devil Boy of Nezha”, and “The Battle of Luo Xiaohei”, etc., and “The Bears” Animations such as “Submarine Mobilization” have been serialized and have sustained effects, but masterpieces are still scarce. In the category of domestic live-action feature films starring children, the works can be described as scarcity. If you trace back the works that can bring people warm and moving, it may be “Yangtze No. 7” starring Zhou Xingchi, Xu Jiao and Zhang Yuqi in 2008.
Compared with the 1980s and 1990s, children’s films have accompanied children in their childhood, and it can be felt that there are still too few films designed for children. Many classic works such as “Little Soldier Zhang Ga”, “Sparkling Red Star”, “Spring Water Dingdong”, “Thunderbolt Beibei”, and “The Girl in Red” have become permanent memories of a generation, and even images that can inspire one’s life.
