3. Oh My School!
Since its release on July 14, Oh My School! has earned a remarkable 175 million yuan in revenue and garnered a rating of 8 points out of 10 on Douban, a popular review platform, second only to Chang'an.
The film is an adaptation of a network animation series that ran between 2014 and 2018. Set in a junior high school in Changchun, Northeast China, it tells the amusing story of Wang Qiang, a struggling student who unexpectedly swaps bodies with Shi Miao'na, a strict teacher, leading to a series of comedic mishaps.
Throughout the movie, many prominent landmarks in Changchun are skillfully woven into the scenes, capturing the essence of daily life and cultural elements unique to Northeast China. The clever use of the region's dialect adds a special touch of humor to the storytelling.
