(Photo by Xu Genzhu\/People\u2019s Daily Online)<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">By Liu Yang, People\u2019s Daily<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">The Chinese box office is extraordinary and unprecedented this summer. Multiple domestically produced films sparked waves of buzz as genre films reached new heights.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">Gong Kanning in Beijing took her child to the animated film \u201cChang An\u201d featuring some of China\u2019s most well-known poets. She told People\u2019s Daily that the audience in the cinema erupted into a standing ovation when the film ended, with some even reciting Tang Dynasty (618-907) poems.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">Zhou Kun, a resident in southwest China\u2019s Chongqing municipality, watched the inspirational comedy\u00a0\u201cOne and Only\u201d\u00a0with his child. While leaving the cinema, the child said that he had developed an interest in learning street dance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">The above scenarios are just common this summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">According to the China Film Administration, China\u2019s box office revenue this July reached nearly 8.72 billion yuan ($1.22 billion), a significant 25 percent rise from the previous July record of 7.02 billion yuan set five years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">As of Aug. 6, the total summer box office revenue this year had hit 14.68 billion yuan, increasing 24.02 percent from the same period in 2018 and 20.01 percent from 2019.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">These figures boosted industry confidence. Insiders estimated that the rebound of the film market would continue this August, with a high probability of shattering the summer box office record set in 2019.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\u201cThis summer\u2019s hits, spanning various genres and topics, are showing an impressive quality leap from previous years, and have effectively sparked moviegoers\u2019 enthusiasm,\u201d said Professor Yin Hong of Tsinghua University.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">These films are expected to make the movie market bigger and lead it to a vicious cycle, he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">One notable highlight is the record-breaking market share of China\u2019s homegrown films this summer, which have won critical acclaim and popularity with their quality. Their exploration beyond the boundaries of conventional genres represents a significant advancement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">The animated film \u201cChang An\u201d focused on the fine traditional Chinese Culture. \u201cWe wanted to create a story about the Tang Dynasty, about poetry and about the ideals and pursuits of poets, to showcase the spirit and artistic accomplishments of poets in the Tang Dynasty and their works,\u201d said Xie Junwei and Zou Jing, directors of the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">It is learned that 48 classic poems are presented in the film, and the production team consulted over 100 relevant books to study the folk culture, poetry and aesthetics of the Tang Dynasty. The film represents a breakthrough in both topic and artistic expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">Chinese fantasy epic \u201cCreation of The Gods I: Kingdom of Storms\u201d is adapted from Chinese novel \u201cFengshen Yanyi,\u201d or \u201cThe Investiture of the Gods.\u201d It carries rich Chinese cultural elements and its industrialized production standards rival world-class levels. The movie marks the rapid progress of China\u2019s film industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">Suspense thriller\u00a0\u201cLost In The Stars\u201d\u00a0opened a brand-new narrative model. Its producer Chen Sicheng said that the movie creates information asymmetry for the audience, hoping to improve the audience\u2019s engagement. So far, the movie has surpassed 3.5 billion yuan in box office, the highest among all summer hits this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">As a sports movie,\u00a0\u201cOne and Only\u201d\u00a0has expanded the boundary of its likes. Its director Dong\u00a0Chengpeng\u00a0noted that the movie is inspirational for everyone, though it is themed with street dance. It hails ordinary people\u2019s passion for the things they love, Dong added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">Sci-fi action film\u00a0\u201cMeg 2: The Trench\u201d\u00a0is co-produced by teams from both China and the United States. It manifests the Chinese nation\u2019s traditional caring for the nature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">In addition, films like\u00a0\u201cNever Say Never\u201d\u00a0and\u00a0\u201cNo More Bets\u201d\u00a0continue Chinese movies\u2019 tradition of focusing on realistic matters by incorporating social issues into their narratives. These movies carry profound social significance, evoking resonance and empathy from audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: People\u2019sDaily (via  Opera<br \/>News )<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
