This year's lunar New Year holiday season is likely to see the fierce competitions at the country's box office (票房)among three movies that come from reality TV programs instead of legends, novels and original stories.
The Chinese movies Running Man, Where are We Going, Dad? II and Emperor's Holidays are all based on South Korean TV shows.
Where are We Going, Dad? hit an amazing box-office run of 700 million yuan in 2014, and it was one of the most popular Chinese-language movies last year. And this year’s Where are We Going, Dad? II shows four famous fathers trying to "survive" with their children on an island of the Republic of Fiji(斐济).
Running Man was also one of the most well-known shows from last October to this January. It has got 227 million yuan at the box office in the first three days after it was on in the cinema. It’s reported that people laughed 86 times while watching the 88-minute movie.
Emperor's Holidays is directed by Wang Yuelun, who was a celebrity father in the fatherhood series' first season. The movie was screened in Chinese theaters on Feb 19, the same day as Dad II and also the first day of the Chinese Lunar New Year.
For these kinds of movies, different people have different opinions. Some may think it is not worth spending money watching them, because the producers just want to make money.

About the importance of good health, nobody can explain better than your doctor. They are the people who really know the importance of keeping fit and healthy. I am saying this because my doctor is an angel. Every time I put on an extra pound, he will remind me of what it is happening to my body. If we do not need to visit any doctor, we thing we are very healthy. But that is not true. We may look healthy but we don't know clearly what is happening inside. However, there are many different ways we can make sure that we look inside as good as we do outside.
The first and easiest step is keeping a good idea, a balanced diet.
Next is sleeping well. Sleep early. Make sure you get nine hours of sleep.
Do not skip your breakfast. It is one of the most important meals of the day. Eat your regular meals, and it will do you good to eat healthily even during breaks.
Exercise your body every day. Go for a swim, or walk, or just play a game of football or tennis.
Try your best not to get stressed because it’s bad for your health.
Remember to keep washing your hands, and then you won’t catch any infection.
Get away from your bad habit. Don't smoke. Some wine does your body good while most of it does harm. Be wise and don't drink too much.
