Synopsis

A new young manager in a state-run restaurant finds his non-traditional approach to management is not popular with the older managers. Life has been frustrating for refreshment company worker Niu Hong, whose troubles only seem to double when he factors in his responsibilities as manager of the Chun City Restaurant. With help from his employees, Niu Hong vows to reform the business. But in the process, he ends up writing a whole new chapter into his otherwise humdrum life. Sun Chun and Yin Tingru co-star in foreign-language drama from director Teng Wenji.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
