Actor Yu Shi's romantic hit soars to top of box-office charts

Actor Yu Shi's latest romantic film, Welcome to My Side, has made a groundbreaking entry into the summer market, swiftly climbing the ranks to become one of the top-grossing blockbusters on the national single-day box-office charts on Friday.

Recent data from the movie information tracking platform Beacon reveals that the film has amassed over 13 million yuan ($1.79 million) in box-office earnings, securing the second position in the nationwide box-office rankings, trailing behind the crime suspense feature A Place Called Silence.

Helmed by director Song Haolin, this whimsical narrative chronicles the story of a young man who, following an accident, finds himself plagued by recurring visions of large flocks of rubber ducks quacking in his vicinity. Intriguingly, he soon discovers that a young woman holds the key to restoring his normalcy, as his peculiar affliction dissipates only in her presence. Thus unfolds a delightful blend of comedy and romance.
