3. "Snipers"
Despite being busy working on opening and closing ceremonies for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, China's most esteemed film director Zhang Yimou still managed a two-month leave to shoot "Snipers" in early 2021. Working alongside his own daughter and emerging director, Zhang Mo, the film stars Zhang Yu, Chen Yongsheng, Zhang Yi, and numerous up-and-coming actors, and is a fast-paced, simple, breathtaking, and heart-wrenching but heroic story depicting Chinese snipers in their fight against elite enemy snipers to win a small-scale but crucial battle. It has generated rave and emotional reviews after premiere screenings in late January. This is also the first time Zhang has entered the Spring Festival box office race and, no matter its takings, he is poised to have a successful couple of weeks both for the film and the Beijing 2022 grand show.
