What happens

The Left Ear is a 2015 Chinese coming of age film directed by Alec Su. It is Su's directorial debut, and based upon the novel of the same name by Rao Xueman. Rao also wrote the film's screenplay. Filming completed and went into post production in November 2014, and was slated for release on April 30, 2015, but was moved forward to April 24, 2015. Many of Su's former co-stars from popular TV series My Fair Princess, Romance in the Rain and Destiny by Love helped him promote the film, including Ruby Lin, Leo Ku, Qin Lan, and Zhao Wei who sang the theme song. The moderate-budget film became a major box office success, grossing US$78 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
