"It's a very true life. It’s normal to have regrets and lovers are not destined to be together," Zhang Xincheng, a musical performer who admitted that he’s a loyal fan of "La La Land" and had watched it for a total of nine times.

A movie enthusiast surnamed Yu told the Beijing Youth Daily that she developed a deeper feeling for the film during her re-watching experience which also reminded her of her initial fondness of this story centered on dreams, romance and regrets.

The movie musical earned about $35 million at the box office in China during its first release in February 2017.
