今年夏天將火爆影院的三部中國電影

Tiny Times 4.0

《小時代4》

According to EntGroup's EFMT Index for this weekend's new releases, box office expectations are highest for Tiny Times 4.0， the final chapter in novelist/screenwriter/director Guo Jingming's Tiny Times series。

根據EntGroup's EFMT索引的週末排片表，小說家、編劇兼導演郭敬明的《小時代》系列終章《靈魂盡頭》票房預期是最高的。

The story follows four Shanghai girls through high school, university, and post-college life as they navigate the pitfalls of relationships, cat-fights, and the latest fashion trends. Despite heavy criticism condemning the young protagonists as materialistic and vain, the Tiny Times series has proven very popular with the Post-90s female demographic, grossing a combined $211 million since summer 2013. Last summer's third installment alone grossed ($84.77 million) and we think this fourth and final film will bring out even more young fans (and the boyfriends they drag along)。

故事講述了4個上海女孩從高中、大學、畢業後的生活，他們在人際關係的陷阱中浮浮沉沉，撕逼大戰從未停歇，還有最新的時尚流行。雖然有大批抨擊年輕主人公物質且自負虛榮的言論，《小時代》系列在90後女性羣體裏還是頗受歡迎，自2013夏季以來吸金2億1100萬美元。去年夏天，單第三部電影就吸金8477萬美金，我們認爲第四部終章會吸引更多的粉絲前來(她們還會拽來男朋友一起看)。

Forever Young

《梔子花開》

Aimed at a similar demographic and receiving just as much buzz as Tiny Times is the youthful romance pic Forever Young based on a hit song by He Jiong from 2004. He, the host of China's hippest variety show Happy Camp, also takes the reins as first time director, and producers are hoping his rabid fans will come out to support the film。

根據相似的觀影人數統計，和《小時代》一樣大熱的影片還有根據何炅2004年同名大熱單曲改編的，講述年輕人浪漫物語的《梔子花開》。何炅作爲中國潮流一線的綜藝節目《快樂大本營》的主持，也是第一次擔任導演，製片方希望他的死忠粉能夠站出來支持這部電影。

The Monkey King: Hero's Return

《西遊記之大聖歸來》

Despite going against fan-based films Tiny Times 4 and Forever Young, the most anticipated film this week on Weibo is actually The Monkey King: Hero's Return. The animated feature retells the classic tale with a new twist – the monk is now a child looking for a hero, and the Monkey King a ghost of his former self, having lost all his powers. The animated feature won tears with its MV by Kit Chan alone。

儘管面對有着大批粉絲基數的《小時代4》和《梔子花開》，本週微博期待值最高的電影卻是《西遊記之大聖歸來》。這部動畫電影以全新的方式演繹了經典傳說——一個小和尚尋找英雄，而前身爲妖的美猴王如今法力盡失。這部動畫電影單憑陳潔儀的主題曲MV就讓觀衆潸然淚下。
