In the new 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, which was released in domestic theaters on May 1, has surged. It earned more than 87 million yuan ($12 million) at the box office, making it the country's second-highest presold film on the first 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.
