Sold Out in Days: Why 'Dear You' Is Adding 8 More Teochew Screenings in Singapore

Golden Village (GV) and distributor Clover Films have announced eight additional screenings of the Chinese migration drama 'Dear You' in its original Teochew language in Singapore. The new shows will run from June 25 to 29 at GVmax at GV VivoCity, with tickets available from 3pm on June 22 via GV's box office and online channels. The decision follows the complete sell-out of all eight previously scheduled Teochew-language screenings held from June 18 to 21.

Directed and co-written by Lan Hongchun, 'Dear You' interweaves two timelines: a grandson searching for his long-lost grandfather in present-day Thailand, and a newly married man who leaves China for Southeast Asia in the 1940s seeking work. The film has become one of China's biggest box-office successes this year, grossing more than 1.7 billion yuan (US$251 million). An Infocomm Media Development Authority spokesperson noted that the original Teochew version can be screened at premieres, festivals, and niche events alongside the Mandarin-dubbed version.
