Regarding why the film product planning for "Beijing Wonderful" is named "China Youth Universe", Zhang Miao, the general manager, producer, and distributor of "Beijing Wonderful", responded, "Young people are the main audience of the film market. Our movies tell the stories of young people, whether they are past, present, or future youth. The core of the story is the young heart that our ancient nation with a 5000 year civilization has, which is a characteristic of all our works.".

In this release, the heavyweight comeback of Lion Boy 2 is an annual expectation. As the opening work of the "Chinese Youth Universe" series, "Lion Youth" has won the love of a large number of audiences with its realistic original story, sincere emotions, and profound ideas, and has become the highest rated Chinese language film on Douban's 2021 film list. The story background of the sequel extends from Lingnan to Greater Shanghai, continuing to tell the passionate and inspirational growth story of young Ajuan and her lion team who create miracles and realize their dreams. It is bound to be another "Chinese style good movie with strength, morality, and warmth".

As the first live action movie in the "Chinese Youth Universe" series, the ancient action legendary blockbuster "Dunhuang Heroes" tells the story of a group of fearless young Tang heroes who seek justice and glory in a crisis. It will present a passionate and legendary history through the film industry aesthetics directed by Cao Dun. Dunhuang Heroes is the first collaboration between director Cao Dun and screenwriter Ma Boyong on the big screen, following "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an". It has attracted a group of talented creators including Zhang Yu, Dou Xiao, Lv Liang, Cai Lu, Zhao Yunzhuo, Gong Lei, Yang Yi, Zhao Wei, Gao Zhiting, Yu Ailei, Lei Jiayin, Zhu Yawen, Li Guangjie, He Chaolian, and others to jointly safeguard the film. At the opening red carpet of the Shanghai International Film Festival, Zhang Yifan, a new generation of powerful actor who participated in this film, made his debut and attracted new attention.

When it comes to the reasons for filming "Dunhuang Heroes", Zhang Miao said, "China has a lot of excellent themes, and we have not had the opportunity to analyze and showcase them in the form of film genres before. Dunhuang is one of them, it is our inner aspiration."

After "Sherlock on the Plain," Zhang Miao and director Xu Lei teamed up twice to bring the movie "Great Expectations.". The film continues the director's unique comedic style, continuing the poetic romance on the plain and a new chapter in the city. By telling the story of a father and son's hilarious journey of becoming rich, the film delves into the Chinese style father son relationship. What kind of sparks will be generated when Director Xu Lei and Wang Chuanjun collaborate for the first time? It is highly anticipated.

In the released film list, the movie "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Crystal" also attracted attention. As a bold attempt in Chinese music and dance films, the film tells a healing family story that transcends time and space. Previously, Zhang Miao talked about the absence of Chinese song and dance films, saying, "In terms of creating and innovating song and dance films, no matter how difficult it may be, Chinese filmmakers should not give up trying our best. We cannot take a detour just because of the difficulty in creating."

Director Zhang Dapeng, who once rose to fame with "What is Page", has brought his big screen comedy love work "Club: The King of Wedding". As a love letter dedicated to young people in the new era, the director uses his unique black humor to tell the love story of a young man and woman in a big city who have been beaten up by life and become rotten.

The science fiction film "Space Spring Festival" directed by Captain Zhang is also included in this release. The film tells the story of soft Chinese family relationships through hardcore Eastern science fiction. "Will Chinese people still go home after the Spring Festival in 200 years?" The film will tell you the answer. Zhang Miao said that if possible, he hopes to have lovely astronauts watch the premiere of this film on the space station with everyone on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2025, because in 2025, space stations from other countries will be retired, and China's space station will be the only manned space station operated by all humanity.

In addition, this press conference also shared information about the most anticipated military action sci-fi films, such as "Operation Hummingbird", "Su Wu" that promotes patriotism, "Raise Your Head, Close Your Eyes", "The Extraordinary Journey of the Horse", "It's My Son", "The Daily Youth", and a number of other films.
