《天下无贼》之后，冯小刚阔别贺岁档两年。3月26日，冯小刚的贺岁档战争题材大片《集结号》在京举行正式的新闻发布会，当天有8条院线和华谊兄弟公司签约，力挺冯小刚重回贺岁档。《集结号》上映期间，陈可辛的《投名状》和星爷的《长江七号》将前后“夹击”，不过，对于火拼市场这一现实，冯小刚似乎是信心百倍。

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.
