December's holiday film season had already begun its fierce competition. On December 3rd, a rather cringe-worthy comedy was released, funded and filmed by one of the country's most famous veteran actors. The film suffered from illogical plot points, cringeworthy dialogue, and a truly convoluted storyline.
However, its box office performance was quite impressive, breaking ten million on its opening day with formidable momentum. It featured an array of big-name stars, delivering many laughs and just as many head-scratching moments. It was simply a film to be enjoyed for a quick laugh, and despite a flood of online criticism, its box office numbers remained considerable.
On the 6th, Huayun's film was also released, boasting strong commercial appeal. Experts predicted it would likely be the biggest dark horse of this year's holiday season.
