The Last Frenzy explores life's choices in the face of death

In the upcoming film The Last Frenzy, the central character Jia Youwei, played by comedic actor Jia Bing, grapples with life-altering decisions when confronted with an incurable illness and a mere 10 days left to live. Choosing to spend his million yuan property proceeds on unforgettable experiences with friends, Jia embarks on a poignant journey of camaraderie and self-discovery.

As the narrative unfolds, Jia's final days become a testament to celebrating the bonds of friendship, culminating in unexpected twists, including a chance encounter with a woman he once admired from afar.

Anticipation for the film, slated for release in domestic theaters on May 1, has surged, with approximately 10 million yuan ($1.38 million) in online ticket sales, positioning it as the country's second-highest presold film on the inaugural day of the May Day holiday.

At a recent promotional event, Wuerna, the ethnic Mongolian director behind the movie, shared her aspirations for The Last Frenzy. Filled with a blend of hilarity and heartfelt moments, the film aims to gently remind audiences of the value of friendship within a lighthearted narrative framework.
