《天下無賊》之后，馮小剛闊別賀歲檔兩年。3月26日，馮小剛的賀歲檔戰爭題材大片《集結號》在京舉行正式的新聞發布會，當天有8條院線和華誼兄弟公司簽約，力挺馮小剛重回賀歲檔。《集結號》上映期間，陳可辛的《投名狀》和星爺的《長江七號》將前后“夾擊”，不過，對于火拼市場這一現實，馮小剛似乎是信心百倍。

Two years after his lastNew Year blockbuster, veteran director Feng Xiaogang is back on the scene with a new war epic called "Ji Jie Hao."

A former soldier himself, Feng Xiaogang says he's tried to tell a different story to most war movies, a story about responsibility. He has avoided casting anall-star line upto show how sincere he is. He says he picked good, low-profile actors for his movie because he didn't want his audience distracted by lots of big names.

When Feng Xiaogang and his production team met the media in Beijing on Monday, the director announced his new film will hit the big screen on December 20.

His film will compete with "A Hope" by Stephen Chow and "The Warlords" by Peter Chan but Feng Xiaogang says that's a good thing because it gives movie-goers more options.

Wang Zhongjun from Huayi Brothers, the film's major investor, says they hope the film will make 150 million yuan at thebox office.
