Dear You<\/a>, produced by China\u2019s Damai Entertainment, with a local theatrical release scheduled for August 6.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tThe film has been a huge box office success in mainland China, massively outperforming expectations for a relatively small drama film without major stars, grossing $275M (RMB1.86BN) to date.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\n\tDirected by Lan Hongchun, the film was made in the Chaoshan (Teochew) dialect, rather than standard Mandarin Chinese, making its success even more unprecedented. The story revolves around a grandson who travels to Thailand to find his supposedly rich grandfather, whom his grandmother has been hoping to be reunited with for decades, only to discover that the man who has been sending her money and letters is not her husband as everyone believed.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cThe special thing about Dear You<\/em> isn\u2019t its large-scale production or the gathering of superstar actors, but the power of its simple, beautiful, and sincere storytelling,\u201d said Sahamongkol announcing its acquisition of the film.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\tThe company described the protagonist\u2019s journey as \u201ca search for memories, roots, and bonds that connect people of different generations, amidst Teochew Chinese culture and the stories of overseas Chinese that reflect experiences of homesickness and love passed down through time, becoming a film that has captured the hearts of millions of viewers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tThe film has already been released theatrically in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei. In Singapore it raised a debate about the government\u2019s policy of releasing all Chinese films in Mandarin, rather than the original dialect. Trinity CineAsia is releasing the film in UK, Ireland and France, while CMC Pictures has it for North America, Australia and New Zealand.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
