“How to make millions before grandma dies”, the highest-grossing film in Thailand in 2024, was released in Thailand last Friday. It successfully broke through the box office of more than 100 million and ranked among the top three actors in Thailand’s film history. The brilliant acting and the funny, absurd yet touching and heart-warming storyline have made this film the hottest topic in Thailand. The film company CACHPLAY announced today that it will be released in Taiwan on June 21st.

The Thai movie “Golden Sun’s Strategy to Get Rich” is jointly created by the production team of “Model Life Series” and “The Two Movies: Renewal of the Marriage”, and is produced by the popular Thai BL drama “Interpret My Heart with Your Heart”. “Love” popular idol Putthipong Assa-ratanakul (nickname: Billkin) served as the leading actor for the first time in the movie. In the movie, he played the good-for-nothing Jin Sun who plays video games all day long. With an inheritance of tens of millions, even though he had no job, he wanted to get the inheritance by taking care of his grandma who was terminally ill with cancer, so he began to plan step by step how to take care of his grandma and gain her trust.

In order to be closer to the character, the male lead Billkin lost more than 10 kilograms of weight and changed different looks before filming started, making himself look decadent and closer to the character who “just wants to play video games every day and do nothing else.” He described: “During the filming, I also wore clothes that suited the character’s style in private, and used the character’s usual body movements to integrate them into my real life, so that I could get closer to the character’s inner world.”

In addition to the popular Billkin as the male lead Jin Sun, other cast members also include the popular actress Tontawan Tan-tivejakul (nickname: Tu) in “Meteor Garden Thai Version”, who plays the role of caring for Grandpa’s friend who received an inheritance worth tens of millions, and 76-year-old Thai new actor Usha Seam-khum (Usha Seam-khum) plays the role of grandma. The role of Grandma is also the core of this movie.

Director Pat Bunnithipat admitted that the most difficult aspect of the film was to have the actors perform real emotions as naturally as possible. The director revealed that Usa Samekham, who plays the grandmother, also made great efforts for this. In Kung Fu, in addition to pre-performance training, he also wrote every line of the movie script by hand, allowing himself to connect with the character from the inside out. The sincere and delicate interaction between grandma and Jin Sun in “Jin Sun’s Strategy to Get Rich” will bring the audience the most realistic daily life and the most touching family relationship. It will be released in Taiwan on June 21.

The story of the movie “Golden Sun’s Strategy to Get Rich” describes that Xiao An (played by Putipong Asaratana Korn) decides to quit his job and return home to take care of his grandmother (played by Usa Samekham) who is suffering from cancer. However, the grandson’s seemingly filial and caring heart is not actually out of love for his grandma. After learning that his friend Xiaomei (played by Tongdawan Bentiwehe Gong) inherited a property worth tens of millions from his grandpa, he worked hard to win her grandma’s trust. However, grandma used her wisdom to help Xiao An slowly learn to live. After getting along day and night, Xiao An’s mentality gradually changed.
