Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Director Zhang Yibai previously made hit rom-coms; this was his attempt at rural satire that confused audiences expecting glamour.

Cultural

The film tanked at box office partly for releasing in summer — Chinese New Year movies MUST debut during actual Spring Festival or feel cursed.
