Jinant Film & TV

Jinant Film & TV’s family drama “Dear You” retained its position at the top of the China box office during the May 15–17 weekend, pulling in RMB282 million ($41.5 million), according to data from Artisan Gateway.

Directed by Lan Hongchun and starring Li Sitong and Wang Yantong, the film has now reached a cumulative total of $75million. The story centers on Grandma Ye Shurou, a woman from the Chaoshan region whose quiet twilight years are upended when her debt-ridden grandson, Xiaowei, travels to Thailand to find his rumored billionaire grandfather, Zheng Musheng. The search uncovers a hidden love affair spanning half a century, revealing that the person Grandma had been exchanging letters with for decades was a complete stranger.
