China Box Office: ‘Battle at Lake Changjin’ Roars Past $80M as Holiday Weekend Gets Underway

The Hollywood Reporter

China’s latest war epic The Battle at Lake Changjin, co-directed by A-list Chinese filmmakers Chen Kaige, Hark Tsui and Dante Lam, has rocketed to the top of China’s box office during the opening days of the country’s long National Day holiday period.

The film was released Thursday and had already earned approximately $82 million by 6 p.m. local time Friday, according to local ticketing app Maoyan, which projects the film will finish its run with a total of well over $500 million. China’s National Day holiday period stretches over the Oct. 1-7 period and is typically one of the country’s biggest box office windows of the year.

The powerful start all but assures that The Battle at Lake Changjin will emerge as the weekend’s biggest earner at the worldwide box office, beating MGM’s much anticipated Bond installment No Time to Die, which is forecast to pull in $80 million to $100 million from more than 50 global markets. Battle at Lake Changjin will easily top $150 million from just one market — China.

Produced by Bona Film Group and state-backed film companies Shanghai Film Group and Huaxia, The Battle at Lake Changjin is believed to be China’s most expensive film ever made, with a production budget of over $200 million — considerably more than recent Hollywood war epics like Sam Mendes’ 1917 ($95 million) and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk ($150 million).

The Battle at Lake Changjin also stars China’s most bankable leading man, Wu Jing, star of Wolf Warrior 2 (2017), which remains the biggest Chinese film in box office history with $867 million. Twenty-year-old rising star Jackson Yee, the lead of the Oscar-nominated Better Days ($230 million) and A Little Red Flower ($216 million), co-stars alongside Wu.

The film glorifies Chinese sacrifices and heroism during the real-life, 1950 Battle at Lake Changjin during the Korean War (or “the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea,” as it is known in China). A crucial victory for the Chinese side, the historic battle saw the PLA overcome long odds to successfully blow up the Shuimen Bridge and push U.S. military forces into retreat.

The Global Times tabloid ran a story Friday arguing for the film’s “implications for today’s China-U.S. competition,” citing chest-thumping social media commentary about the movie — such as a Weibo user who wrote, “Had the feeling that Chinese people are not, and have never been, afraid of the US; Seventy years ago, the U.S. could not win the Korean War, and they can’t win today’s trade war either” — as well as various local military experts, such as one who emphasized that “the film shows that the Chinese people don’t provoke troubles, but never flinch when trouble comes their way and are able to defeat provocations, which has great implications for today’s China-U.S. competition.”

The Battle at Lake Changjin has generated strong scores with Chinese filmgoers — 9.5 on Maoyan and 7.6 on Douban — which should assure that it retains its frontrunner position throughout the long holiday.

Other National Day releases pulling in big numbers include tentpole ensemble film My Country, My Parents, which had earned a healthy $35 million by early Friday evening in China.

The film is the third installment in a series of patriotic ensemble films that began with 2019’a My People, My Country, which earned a whopping $425 million — only to be narrowly beaten by the second film in the series, My People, My Homeland, which brought in $433 million last October. Maoyan currently projects the new feature, My Country, My Parents, to finish its run with considerably less, about $192 million.

Like its predecessors, the new film aims to tell a series of charming stories of ordinary Chinese life, stirring a sense of pride in Chinese culture. My Country, My Parents comprises four vignettes, each directed by an A-list actor/director, including Wolf Warrior‘s Wu Jing; actress Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) in her directorial debut; comedy hitmaker Xu Zheng (star of Dying to Survive, 2018, $451 million), and comedy actor turned director Shen Teng (most recently seen in Hi, Mom, which earned $822 million earlier this year).

Several smaller Chinese films opened Friday to make a run at the holiday box office, but The Battle at Lake Changjin and My Country, My Parents, were overwhelmingly dominant, taking 64 percent and 29 percent of the day’s total ticket sales, respectively.

China Box Office: ‘Battle at Lake Changjin’ Roars Past $80M as Holiday Weekend Gets Underway

The Hollywood Reporter

China’s latest war epic The Battle at Lake Changjin, co-directed by A-list Chinese filmmakers Chen Kaige, Hark Tsui and Dante Lam, has rocketed to the top of China’s box office during the opening days of the country’s long National Day holiday period.

中国最新的战争史诗大片《长津湖》由中国一流电影人陈凯歌、徐克和林超贤联合执导，在中国国庆长假的头几天里一举夺得中国票房冠军。

表示“史诗般的电影（或书籍）”，英文解释为“a long film/movie or book that contains a lot of action, usually about a historical subject”。

A-list表示“知名的，成功的”（used for describing people who are the most famous），如：A-list celebrities 一线明星。B-list就表示“ 二流的”（used for describing people who are quite famous but not as famous as the A-list people），如：B-list actors 二流演员。

🎬电影《自由作家》（Freedom Writers）中的台词提到：This was an A-list school before they came here. 他们来这之前这是个顶级学校。

rocket作动词除了表示“迅速上升，猛涨”，也可以表示“迅速取得成功；一举成名”，英文解释为“to achieve a successful position very quickly”，举个🌰：

Their new album rocketed to number one in the charts.

他们的新专辑跃居排行榜首位。

The film was released Thursday and had already earned approximately $82 million by 6 p.m. local time Friday, according to local ticketing app Maoyan, which projects the film will finish its run with a total of well over $500 million. China’s National Day holiday period stretches over the Oct. 1-7 period and is typically one of the country’s biggest box office windows of the year.

这部电影于周四上映，截至当地时间周五下午6点，票房收入约8200万美元，根据当地的票务应用猫眼的预测，这部电影在下线时的总收入将远远超过5亿美元。中国的国庆节假期在10月1日至7日期间，通常是中国一年中票房最大时机之一。

表示“预计，推算”，英文解释为“to calculate an amount or number expected in the future from information already known”举个🌰：

Government spending is projected to rise by three percent next year.

明年政府的支出预计将增加3%。

熟词僻义，表示“（一部戏的）连续上演（期）”，英文解释为“the period during which a play is performed”举个🌰：

The musical's London run was a disaster.

该音乐剧在伦敦的演出彻底失败。

用于强调某些介词，英文解释为“used to emphasize some prepositions ”举个🌰：

The results are well above/below what we expected.

结果比我们预想的要好/差得多。

The powerful start all but assures that The Battle at Lake Changjin will emerge as the weekend’s biggest earner at the worldwide box office, beating MGM’s much anticipated Bond installment No Time to Die, which is forecast to pull in $80 million to $100 million from more than 50 global markets. Battle at Lake Changjin will easily top $150 million from just one market — China.

强大的开局几乎保证了《长津湖》将成为本周末全球票房的最大赢家，击败米高梅影业备受期待的邦德系列电影《无暇赴死》（No Time to Die），后者预计将从全球50多个市场获得8000万至1亿美元的收入。《长津湖》仅在中国一个市场就将轻松突破1.5亿美元。

表示“（报刊上连载故事的）一集；一部分”，英文解释为“An instalment of a story or plan is one of its parts that are published or carried out separately one after the other.”举个🌰：

The next instalment of this four-part series deals with the impact of the war on the continent of Africa.

这部4集系列片的下一集将探讨战争对非洲大陆的影响。

表示“赚（大笔钱）”，英文解释为“to earn the large amount of money mentioned”举个🌰：

I reckon she's pulling in over $100,000.

我估计她要赚10多万。

Produced by Bona Film Group and state-backed film companies Shanghai Film Group and Huaxia, The Battle at Lake Changjin is believed to be China’s most expensive film ever made, with a production budget of over $200 million — considerably more than recent Hollywood war epics like Sam Mendes’ 1917 ($95 million) and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk ($150 million).

《长津湖》由博纳影业集团和国家支持的上海电影集团及华夏电影公司制作，据信是中国有史以来最昂贵的电影，制作预算超过2亿美元--大大超过最近的好莱坞战争史诗大片，如萨姆·门德斯（Sam Mendes）的《1917》（9500万美元）和克里斯托弗·诺兰（Christopher Nolan）的《敦刻尔克》（1.5亿美元）。

The Battle at Lake Changjin also stars China’s most bankable leading man, Wu Jing, star of Wolf Warrior 2 (2017), which remains the biggest Chinese film in box office history with $867 million. Twenty-year-old rising star Jackson Yee, the lead of the Oscar-nominated Better Days ($230 million) and A Little Red Flower ($216 million), co-stars alongside Wu.

《长津湖》还由中国最卖座的男主角吴京主演，他是《战狼2》（2017年）的主演，该片以8.67亿美元成为中国电影史上最高票房。20岁的新星易烊千玺（Jackson Yee）是获得奥斯卡提名的《少年的你》（Better Days，2.3亿美元）和《送你一朵小红花》（2.16亿美元）的主演，与吴京共同出演。

表示“由…主演”，英文解释为“If a play or movie stars a famous actor or actress, he or she has one of the most important parts in it.”举个🌰：

这个词的意思大家应该不难猜出来。bank表示”银行“，银行里有什么？钱。-able这个后缀表示”有能力的；能够达成的“。那么整合起来就是”有能力赚到很多钱的“，所以bankable的意思是”卖座的；吸金的；能赚大钱的“。英文解释是：In the entertainment industry, someone or something that is described as bankable is very popular and therefore likely to be very profitable. 举个🌰：

This film made him the most bankable star in Hollywood.

这部电影让他一举成为了好莱坞最卖座的明星。

The film glorifies Chinese sacrifices and heroism during the real-life, 1950 Battle at Lake Changjin during the Korean War (or “the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea,” as it is known in China). A crucial victory for the Chinese side, the historic battle saw the PLA overcome long odds to successfully blow up the Shuimen Bridge and push U.S. military forces into retreat.

这部电影颂扬了中国人在真实的1950年朝鲜战争期间的长津湖战役（在中国被称为「抗美援朝战争」）中做出的牺牲和英雄主义。这场历史性的战役对中国方面来说是一场关键的胜利，解放军克服了巨大的困难，成功地炸毁了水门桥，将美军逼退。

表示“吹捧；吹嘘；美化”，英文解释为“to make sth seem better or more important than it really is”举个🌰：

He denies that the movie glorifies violence.

2) 表示“撤回（计划）”，英文解释为“to decide not to do something you were planning to do, because it was unpopular or too difficult written”举个🌰：

The Canadian government has retreated from a plan to kill 10 wolves.

加拿大政府取消了要杀死10头狼的计划。

The Global Times tabloid ran a story Friday arguing for the film’s “implications for today’s China-U.S. competition,” citing chest-thumping social media commentary about the movie — such as a Weibo user who wrote, “Had the feeling that Chinese people are not, and have never been, afraid of the US; Seventy years ago, the U.S. could not win the Korean War, and they can’t win today’s trade war either” — as well as various local military experts, such as one who emphasized that “the film shows that the Chinese people don’t provoke troubles, but never flinch when trouble comes their way and are able to defeat provocations, which has great implications for today’s China-U.S. competition.”

《环球时报》小报周五刊登了一篇报道，论证了这部电影“对当今中美竞争的影响”，并引用了社交媒体上关于这部电影的振奋人心的评论--例如一位微博用户写道：“感觉中国人不是，也从来没有害怕过美国；70年前，美国无法赢得朝鲜战争，而现在，他们也无法赢得今天的贸易战” - 以及各种当地的军事专家，例如一位强调“这部电影表明，中国人民不挑事，但在困难来临时从不退缩，能够击败挑衅，这对今天的中美竞争有很大的影响。”

tabloid /ˈtæblɔɪd/ 表示“通俗小报（文短图多，内容多为名人逸事，常被视为不太严肃；版面通常比大报小一半）”，英文解释为“(sometimes disapproving) a newspaper of this size with short articles and a lot of pictures and stories about famous people, often thought of as less serious than other newspapers”举个🌰：

He didn't even flinch when the nurse cleaned the wound.

护士清洗伤口的时候，他都一点也没畏缩。

provocation就是由动词provoke“激起，引起”变化而来，表示“激怒；挑衅；挑衅性事件”，英文解释为“If you describe a person's action as provocation or a provocation, you mean that it is a reason for someone else to react angrily, violently, or emotionally.”

The Battle at Lake Changjin has generated strong scores with Chinese filmgoers — 9.5 on Maoyan and 7.6 on Douban — which should assure that it retains its frontrunner position throughout the long holiday.

《长津湖》在中国电影观众中产生了很高的分数--猫眼9.5分，豆瓣7.6分--这应该能保证它在整个长假期间保持领先的地位。
