Movie My Old Classmate Gaining Great Popularity in China
The Chinese movie, 'My Old Classmate' has taken more than 400 million yuan at the box office just 17 days after its release, ranking among the top-five highest-grossing Chinese movies.
The film's momentum doesn't show signs of slowing, as it's still generating 10 million yuan per day.
About 20 years ago, Gao Xiaosong wrote the lyrics of the classic folk song, "My Old Classmate," which touched millions of hearts across the country.
Now, as the producer of the new film of the same title, he has done it again.
Starring Zhou Dongyu, and Lin Gengxin, "My Old Classmate" follows the pair's life and love since middle school, when they were classmates.
The film is said to have brought back memories and created nostalgia for cinema-goers, especially those born in the 1980s.
