Summer
Although the beginning of autumn has arrived, the new summer movies that have been scheduled recently are surprisingly numerous.
August 16th: Rebirth
August 16th: Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Pentacle
August 23rd: Grandma's Grandson
August 23rd: The Inverse Scale
August 27th: "Swimming in the Sea of People"
August 31st: All Suspects
Among them, the most concerned is the gangster crime film "Reverse Scale", which is Shen Teng's first starring role. Due to the "super long standby" of "Catching Dolls" on the box office charts this summer, it is very likely that Shen Teng will still be fighting Shen Teng by the end of August.
According to the Lighthouse Professional Edition, the AI-predicted total box office for "Catching Dolls" is 3.363 billion, slightly less than Shen Teng's "Speeding Life 2" (3.398 billion) during the Spring Festival.
Now, "The Lost Tomb" suddenly joins the battle at the end of the summer season. It seems that whether Shen Teng (Ma Chenggang ver.) can defeat Shen Teng (Zhang Chi ver.) depends on the performance of Shen Teng (Zun Fei ver.)!
→ Shen Teng's first gangster crime film "Reverse Scale" is scheduled to be released on August 23
→ "Detective Conan: The Million Dollar Pentacle" is scheduled to be released on August 16
→Shanghai Film Museum launches a summer of light and shadow to spend a summer of movies with citizens

Lonely Boat
This suspenseful war drama stars Zeng Shunxi, Zhang Songwen, Chen Duling, Wang Yuwen, Zhang Fengyi, Zhou Yiwei, Yin Xiaotian and others.
The series is set in Suzhou during the Wang Puppet regime during the Anti-Japanese War. It tells the story of Gu Yizhong, a talented returned architect and the son of a century-old prominent family in Suzhou in the Republic of China in 1941, who was forced into a crisis and staged a duel between two heroes with Zhou Zhifei of the Wang Puppet regime, writing the history of the development of our party's young agents.
Stills from Lonely Boat
Recently, spy dramas have been released one after another during the summer vacation. From the beginning, "Lonely Boat" has chosen the "young man's growth" route. The protagonist Gu Yizhong is not a professional underground party member. As a rich man, he was involved in the underground intelligence work struggle by accident. Zhang Songwen, as the villain leader, showed a more three-dimensional "traitor" role in the era.
Stills from Lonely Boat
The popularity of the drama on iQiyi has exceeded 7,000, and it ranks among the top three on Yunhe, Dengta, and Datawin. However, the audience feedback is quite average. Many viewers said that the rhythm of the drama is dragging. After 6 episodes, the male protagonist has not yet penetrated the enemy camp. There are too many foreshadowings in the early stage, which consumes the patience of the audience. Although Zhang Fengyi and Zhang Songwen's acting skills are good enough, the young actors are in average condition and the rhythm of the drama is not attractive enough.
As of press time, the popularity value of "Lonely Boat" on iQiyi has exceeded 7,000.
She and Hers
Starring Xiao Shunyao, Jia Qing, He Dujuan, and Hu Jun as the special guest star, this urban crime suspense drama tells the story of Zhao Shang, deputy captain of the criminal police team, and his partner Cui Shanhe, who unravel the intricate emotional secrets between seven people layer by layer, and gradually unfold the entanglements of human nature and ethics, and the cruel scenes intertwined with lies. As the truth approaches step by step, Zhao Shang also kicks off the prelude to self-salvation.
The series' early publicity was low-key and it was broadcast out of the blue without any traffic or other talented young actors, so it was not very popular. It ranked low on lists such as Yunhe and Dengta, and its popularity on iQiyi did not exceed 5,000. The series was previously called "Seven" and it was completed a year and a half ago.
Poster of She and Hers
Audience feedback was also rather average. Among the only fifty-odd Douban comments, half complained about the unreasonable plot, the routine script, the excessive melodrama by the screenwriter, and the character relationships, especially the female rival, the scumbag, the love-brained... Although it is a crime investigation drama, it ignores basic common sense, and the various configurations are too simple, like a certain stage of eye-catching online movies. It's a pity for Hu Jun's acting skills.
Forensic Heroes 6
The "Forensic" series seems to have no intention of stopping. Since the series was restarted, although the quality of the series is far inferior to the first three, this IP still attracts enough attention. The sixth series is still starred by Bosco Wong, Benjamin Yuen, Cai Jie, Joey Chiang, and Kelly Fu, and is written and directed by Chung Shu-kai, who returned to TVB, and veteran actor Wong Kwok-fai.
"Forensic Heroes 6" poster
The current popularity of the series is similar to that of previous Youku TVB series, and it is hovering around the top ten in various charts, mainly relying on the old fans of this IP. However, after the broadcast of "Forensic Heroes 6", it was also complained by fans. The feeling of the forensic team using evidence to solve the case is no longer there. It is more about the police officers repeating the results. There is no professional knowledge to promote the plot. The whole day is spent discussing the case in the laundry room. The plot of love, police gossip, etc. also accounts for too much. There are too many emotional lines, and there are also superstitious speeches that make people speechless. The audience does not know what kind of drama they are watching. Bosco Wong and Benjamin Yuen, the two TVB veterans, do not seem to be in good shape.

The special dispatch team came to the beauty salon according to the clues and needed to solve the door code by observing the pictures. When faced with a picture with TIME on the left and the letter C missing on the right, Zhou Bichang suddenly got an idea and blurted out: long time no see (c). The homophonic pun revealed the core of the puzzle and successfully unlocked the door. The brainpower is super cool! The beauty salon ushered in the day and night shifts. They took the simplest way - rock-paper-scissors. Zhang Guowei, Peng Yuchang and Zhou Bichang were happy to get the day shift. Zhang Wei, Xu Kai and Chen Zheyuan "couldn't laugh". The single-line tasks, the dark room, and the broken three people's joys and sorrows are not connected.

In terms of narrative context, the documentary "Mawangdui: Immortality of Time" breaks the conventional norms of previous archaeological discovery documentaries, taking cultural relics and museums as the creative subjects, treating the Hunan Museum as a large studio, and building a visual system and narrative space around cultural relics and museums. Through the ingenious integration of real-life shooting, exquisite paintings and cutting-edge CG special effects, cultural relics are no longer just silent exhibits, but are reborn in the narrative space of the Hunan Museum, which combines reality and fiction.
