Personally,I like Chinese New Year's moviesvery much.Because they are filled with joyousthemes.and this kind ofmovie is a good choice for people who finally finish a year'shard work and wish to add some refreshment to their new year.
And it proved to be true that Chinese New Year's movies are in need,for they were well received by common people inthe late 1990s.However,after less than 10.years of flourishing,they are now facing a great decline in box office income.
I think the failure of Chinese New Year's movies is for two main reasons:lack of creation and low quality of produetion.
Audiences are not fools.They watch movies in order to get satisfaction,bappiness and enlightenment(启发)not to be tricked by meaningless,same stories.If a movie tell aboring story,how can filmakers expect applause(鼓掌)fromthe audience.
And at the same time we hope that directors choose actors and actresses carefully.The success of a movie is mostlydetermined by a fine story and good performances.If performers aren't able to communicate a character's emotions exactlv,no matter how wonderful a story is,the movie may be afailure.So a popular New Year's movie ought to be creativeand elaborately(精心地)produced.
My favoufite Chinese New Year's movie is“Be There orBe Square”(Bu Jian Bu San),directed by Feng Xiaogang.It's a story about love and life.The hero is a Chinese man who struggles hard in the US.One day,he meets a girl from Beijing.The two share the same goal:making their fortunes in America.After a series of ups and downs,they fail to realizetheir dreams.But,they finally fall in love with each other and decide to go back to China to make a brand new start.
Feng is good at providing humorous and simple lines with deep and strongly felt meaning.As far as the andience is concerned,it was acceptable and interesting.And the leading ac-tor and actress showed superior performances.They coopera-ted so well and acted so naturally that it seemed they were truly a pair of lovers.
From the simple but moving story,I got a lot.Besides money and fame,there are many other beautiful things worth pursuing(追求)and loving.
Good stories and actors are what the audience desire.Whether Chinese New Year's movies will last in the New Year's film market depends mostly on the filmmakers'attitude towards movie production.I hope that in the coming new year.I can spend several hours in a cinema enjoying a good movie instead of just chatting with my friends to escape a boring movie.

Silence is unnatural to map. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In between be does all he can to make a noise in the world, and be fears silence more than anything else. Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence. If be is introduced to another person, and is number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards him self as a failure ,a worthless person, and is full of envy of the emptiest headed chatterbox(喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety nine percent fo human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure(蜡塑人像).
The aim of conversation is not. For the most part, to communicate ideas ; it is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admirted, different qualitics. of buzz;there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made bu a mosquito(蚊子).But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person. Most buzzing,forlunately,is pleasnnt to the ear,and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take pert in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content it they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time. they just prove themselves to be successful conversationists.
