this year's National Day festivals have gathered. "English duel", "Shame Iron fist", "Fanghua", "Sewing Machine Band", "City Light of Psychological Crime", "empty Sky Hunt", "chasing Dragon", "BFF 2" …... A number of large-scale domestic films swarmed in, the film styles are different, the lineup and quality are as good as the Spring Festival, it is like a carnival.

but on September 19, the Light of the City of Psychological Crime suddenly announced that the film could not be released as scheduled for some reason. In the early morning of September 24, the pre-sale has been started, and has held many screenings of "Fanghua" also emergency withdrawal, the reason is still unknown. On Sept. 26, "best friend 2", originally scheduled for release on October 1, announced that it would temporarily withdraw its release due to content adjustment, and the specific release date has not been decided.

with the withdrawal of these three films, the supposedly surging National Day holiday this year has become slightly dimmed, resulting in a tripartite confrontation between" British duel "," shy Iron fist "and" Sewing Machine Band ". The commercial film Comedy + Action sets the tone of the National Day stalls. As a result, audiences expecting more types of films have set their sights on films that were also released in October but outside the National Day holiday. Among them, "Genius Gunners" and "Ace 2: the Golden Circle" attract the most attention.

"Genius Gunners" is a hit before it was shown in the mainland. It is known as "pick up the stick" wrestling, Dad! Another topic of miraculous work. Based on the sensational Asian fraud in 2014, the film tells the story of a perfect cheating across time zones. The theme is bold and the rhythm is tense and exciting, which is comparable to the espionage blockbuster. At the same time, there is no lack of warmth and depth, as well as reflection on society and education.

Genius Gunners earned more than 100 million yuan at the box office in Thailand just two weeks after its release, eventually winning the annual box office title in Thailand, and was selected as the first opening film from Southeast Asia at the New York Asian Film Festival. After that, Genius Gunners was released in Taiwan, beating Dunkirk to the top spot in just four days, setting a new box office record for a Thai film in Taiwan. After its release in Hong Kong, it reached the top of the box office for two consecutive weeks, beating the Hollywood blockbuster "ace bodyguard" and South Korea's annual masterpiece "Battleship Island."

not only the box office is rising, but the reputation of "Genius Gunners" is also strong. The freshness of rotten tomato is 100%, the popcorn index is 95%, the IMDb score is 8.3, and the Douban score is 8.5. Before the announcement of the schedule in the mainland, many mainland fans went to Hong Kong to see the film's elegant demeanour. Therefore, when the mainland confirmed the schedule on October 13, there was a lot of cheering on the Internet, and many movie fans couldn't wait for the film to be released, and some professional film critics, like ordinary fans, turned into tap water and volunteered to cheer for the film! Many commentators think that "talented Gunners" is expected to take over the baton, "Wrestling, Dad!" It has become another topic in the second half of 2017, and it is also another dark horse at the box office this year!

, but compared with "Genius Gunners", the production of "Ace 2: Golden Circle" released on October 20th is more luxurious and the cast is stronger. The film is a continuation of the previous film, which tells the story of Aegesi and Merlin going to the United States to fight alongside US federal agents against criminal organizations after the British headquarters of ace agents was destroyed.

the film beat the biweekly champion "the Joker back to Soul" at the box office on its first day in North America. The foundation of the previous work, coupled with the invitation of Wang Junkai as the film's promotion ambassador in China, made the film's response in the mainland extremely strong.

National Day blockbusters have withdrawn one after another. Whether these two different styles of films can meet the expectations of the audience, and whether "Genius Gunners" can become another dark horse in 2017, will not be known until after its release in the mainland.
