The word "大片" is a modern Chinese compound noun formed by combining the character "大" (dà), meaning "big" or "large," with "片" (piàn), which in this context means "film" or "movie." It functions as a metaphor, where "大" conveys concepts of grand scale, high investment, and major impact, while "片" specifies the domain of cinema. Thus, the term literally translates to "big film" and is used idiomatically to mean "blockbuster"—a movie characterized by its substantial budget, extensive marketing, wide release, and often spectacular visual effects or epic narrative scope.
