The Breakup Guru

One is a bum, one gets by selling self-help DVDs: Mei Yuan Gui is a guy who survives by leeching off his girlfriends; Ye Xiao Chun is a girl who sells DVDs for a living. Two people in the bottom rungs of society meet by accident one day when the guy saves the girl, and so begins the most hilarious, silly and touching love story.

Directed by Deng Chao, Yu Baimei, The Breakup Guru leans on a strong ensemble — Deng Chao, Yang Mi, Gulnezer Bextiyar — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2014.
