The period during summer vacation had always been a period where domestic films competed for attention and box office success. New films were released every week. Films from various big productions that featured heavyweight celebrities and top-tier actors were released in succession.
"High Mountain" was a thoroughly pure art film. Moreover, it featured only Luna as the sole star. It was at a complete disadvantage.
However, thanks to the attention it had received in recent months, "High Mountain" received 16% of the screenings on its first day of release and earned nearly 8 million dollars at the box office, accounting for 20% of the box office that day.
What did over 8 million dollars mean in this context?
In the past five years, the highest box office of domestic art films had not exceeded 60 million dollars, and the highest box office in history had not exceeded 200 million dollars.
Remarkably, "High Mountain" received very positive reviews and generated a lot of buzz among viewers after its official release. Its Popcornmeter was 82%.
There were all kinds of praise.
[The farmland scenery in the movie is so beautiful! No matter which angle you look from, it's picturesque and very down-to-earth, without that high and mighty vibe that shuns the poor. I'm going to hang out with my girlfriends this weekend.]
[Folks, does anyone share my feelings? I sat in the theater until the credits were over, and the male lead didn't even show his face. I'm so frustrated...]
[I absolutely love that flower ramp! I've made up my mind. I'm going to take wedding photos there with my boyfriend...]
[This is a romance film, right? Even though the male and female leads never said a word of love throughout, not even a kiss...]
[The filming locations in the movie get packed on weekends and holidays. Folks, I strongly suggest you all choose a workday if you want to go...]
One snarky film critic pointed out Luna's acting skills. [How was Luna's acting? Well, at least in this movie, she didn't have any acting skills. That's because she wasn't acting at all. She was just showing her true soul without reservation.]
A veteran artist praised her. [Luna played a femme fatale and a terminally ill patient before. Her acting was great, but everyone only praised her for acting so well. This is the only movie where no one says she acted well. They only say that the person in front of the camera is the real deal, living life authentically.]
More viewers commented about her looks. [I didn't expect Luna to look so beautiful without makeup. With her beauty alone, she can be popular for another twenty years.]
The cinema added screening slots for "High Mountain."
Forecasting agencies predicted that "High Mountain" would hit 160 million dollars at the box office.
Luna had made a comeback.
Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, she held a cup of coffee with both hands, watching the movie over and over again.
She watched the clips of her appearing in the movie with Jaden.
The two of them stood with their backs to the camera and held hands. Bathed in the gentle morning light, they walked home together along the flowery slope. Their backs were so charming...
In the winter, with snowflakes drifting down, she and Jaden sat by the brazier. Jaden took out a golden-brown roasted sweet potato from the brazier. After peeling it, he handed it to her. The look on her face as she ate the roasted sweet potato was pure happiness, like that of a child...
In the drizzling spring, she held Jaden's arm and walked through the yellow field of rapeseed flowers with a sense of haziness. That kind of silent and intoxicating romance could even make her melt just by watching it...
She missed the days spent filming in the Donovan family's farmland.
She also missed Jaden's voice and the dishes he made.
However, Oxhorn Village had become famous, and the Donovan family's farmland was very popular. Jaden was extremely busy now and rarely returned to Kitmore City. It was not easy for her to see him.
She muttered, "I really want to spend a few days in Oxhorn Village... Even though Jaden left a room for me in the old residence, he's so busy. How can I have the nerve to ask him to cook for me every day? It's been so many days since we last saw each other. How come he didn't take the initiative to call me?'
