on september 7, the new wave forum's special session of the wave film week was held at anaya a theater. fu ruoqing, chairman of china film group corporation, li ning, ceo of new classics films under china literature group, wang zhonglei, vice chairman of huayi brothers, and others participated in the dialogue, focusing on the voices behind the chinese film screen and attracting attention.

according to the live video released by sina entertainment, wang zhonglei, vice chairman of huayi brothers, revealed new news about the theater chain. he said that the new film "749 bureau" directed by lu chuan and starring wang junkai and others had obtained the dragon mark last week and is expected to be released at the end of the year, hoping to be released during the new year's eve.

looking back at the performance of the 2024 summer season, wang zhonglei said that there is a phenomenon that new films have been screened for too long and become old films. "last year, wang baoqiang's "in the octagon" had two points. he said that the audience should watch it in advance. after watching it, the word of mouth was good, so it was advanced. this year, there are also seven or eight movies that do this... i think this summer vacation is a failure. only "catching dolls" was released on the same day. other films were screened for too long and became old films. when they were officially released, the box office on the first day was not as high as when they were screened. the entire movie only sold 100 million yuan."

he insisted that offline screenings are necessary: ​​"movies still need a sense of ceremony, and we can't be lazy. just like a supermarket, we buy whatever sells well. this cinema might as well just show classic old movies. new films now have too many screening licenses, only 30 days, but the copyright is ours, so we can actually continue to do offline screenings and continue to show them when the ratings are up. we can distribute them through different channels."

recently, the game "black myth: wukong" has been very popular. wang zhonglei also mentioned that he has been discussing the creation of movies, short dramas, and long-running dramas with the game team: "china film group has also made a lot of reforms this year, and sports events can also be broadcast in cinemas. we also hope that "black myth: wukong" can be shown in theaters, and players can make appointments to play together."

"bureau 749" is a film written and directed by lu chuan. it was inspired by his work experience in bureau 749 after graduating from military school. it tells a passionate story of a young man's growth and adventure. starring wang junkai, zheng kai, miao miao, ren min, li chen and others, it was completed in 2019.

on the afternoon of the 7th, director lu chuan confirmed on weibo that "749 bureau" had obtained the dragon mark (a film screening license, which is a necessary document for a film to be screened in theaters). he wrote: "thank you for your concern. the most accurate information about the release date of "749 bureau" is subject to our announcement. however, one thing is true: "749 bureau" has obtained the dragon mark at 3:25 pm this monday, september 2nd."
