"Red River" movie stills, sex scenes. As of day 3, the opening weekend box office for "Red River," which was released last Friday, has nearly reached 80 million yuan. For an art film, this is considered a small breakthrough for domestic films this year, proving that art films can also capture the attention of audiences and that high box office returns are not exclusive to costume action films and comedies.
Before its release, many believed "Red River" would be a tear-jerking romance. However, audiences in the theater were amused by the interesting life segments between the two main actors, Jingchu Zhang and Jiahui Zhang. Since Jingchu Zhang's character in the film has the intelligence of an 8-year-old, some of her mature actions carry a comedic tone.
However, after passing the two-thirds mark of the film, the plot deepens, shifting toward a more tragic story ending. Director Jiarui Zhang stated: "These scenarios were designed to keep the audience entertained. The happier the beginning, the more powerful the sadness at the end." Given the open-ended conclusion that leaves suspense for the audience and the ideal box office performance, Jiarui Zhang mentioned that there might be a sequel in the future.
