The December holiday movie season had already begun with a fierce battle for the box office. On December 3rd, a rather frustrating comedy was released, produced by one of the most famous veteran actors in the country. The plot made no sense, the dialogue was cringeworthy, and the story was filled with shocking twists.

Yet, the box office numbers were quite impressive; it broke ten million on the first day with a strong momentum. It featured a cast of big-name stars, had plenty of laughable moments, and just as many groan-inducing ones – it was the kind of film you'd chuckle at and move on from. Despite the waves of criticism online, the box office figures remained quite remarkable.

Another film by Huayun was set to release on the 6th, and it also had strong commercial potential. Experts predicted that it would likely be the dark horse of this year's holiday films.
