Nice View is a 2022 Chinese drama film and the second feature film directed by Wen Muye.[3][4] It follows a young man named Jing Hao who, in order to save his sister, desperately seizes the opportunity he found to start a business, changes his fate, and affects the people around him. The film was completed in October 2021[5] and was released in mainland China on February 1, 2022 (the first day of the Chinese New Year).[6]
Twenty-year-old Jing Hao moves to Shenzhen with his young sister, Jing Tong, to start a new life. Though the siblings share a warm bond, they struggle financially. Jing Tong has inherited their mother's congenital heart disease and requires surgery as soon as possible. To afford the medical expenses, Jing Hao must raise CN¥350,000 within a year and a half.
By chance, he comes across a batch of defective smartphones. Despite their flaws, these phones can potentially be refurbished and resold after repairs. Seeing an opportunity, Jing Hao takes a risk by taking out a loan to purchase them, planning to restore and sell them for profit. However, he soon realizes that the government is cracking down on the refurbished phone market, putting his entire plan in jeopardy.
Determined to overcome the odds, Jing Hao takes a bold step. He establishes Haojing Electronic Components Factory, dismantling defective phones and selling usable parts to mobile phone companies. If the factory can achieve a yield rate of 85% or higher, he can earn CN¥800,000 in just four months. However, the challenges are immense. He lacks staff, factory space, equipment, and even an initial deposit.
Despite countless obstacles and hardships, Jing Hao's perseverance and courage ultimately help him succeed. He raises the necessary funds for his sister's surgery and opens the door to a brighter future for both of them.
