The movie My People, My Hometown has been highly expected by all the audiences since it was announced. As of the evening of October 8, the cumulative box office of the film reached 1.87 billion RMB, and the total number of viewers exceeded 47.32 million. The feedback from the audiences can also prove it: “Obviously it’s a comedy, but I was crying.” “Took the whole family to watch it, and we are all very satisfied!” “I laughed more than 100 times and cried using several packs of tissues!” The five story units have their own characteristics, and the common thing is that every story has a warm background besides comedy. The movie provides the audiences with a sense of homesickness when the family and the country are sharing a firm connection.
The movie was presented by 35 famous Chinese production companies including China Film Group, which is located in Beijing Huairou Film and TV Industrial Park. China Film Group is involved in a variety of businesses which include film and television production, film distribution and exhibition, film importation and exportation, cinema circuit management, digital cinema construction, print developing and processing, film equipment management, ancillary products, advertising, property management as well as real estate.
