The film is directed by Yao Tingting, who previously made another nostalgic romance “Yesterday Once More,” which went on to enjoy a $27 million global success in 2016. Edko’s Bill Kong is named as producer.
The new film stars Li Yitong (“Keep Calm and Be a Superstar”) as an aspiring dancer who is helping an old theater attendant, played by Lee Hong-chi (“Thanatos, Drunk”). While doing so, she stumbles upon his diary which chronicles the life and memories they shared together since childhood, thus discovering a timeless love story concealed in another dimension.
The film is now in post-production and set for a commercial release in mainland Chinese theaters around Valentine’s Day.
Edko, which straddles production, sales, distribution and exhibition in China and Hong Kong, is handling international rights sales.
