China Entertainment: This Director Has Real Talent

A veteran short-drama director is reborn into the year 2009, back when the Chinese entertainment industry was just beginning to boom. He sets his sights on a certain A-list actress, and with a disarming smile and an almost hypnotic voice, he delivers an unexpected pitch. "Miss Liu, would you like to prove yourself?" he asks, his whole demeanor radiating confidence. "Prove what?" she replies, wary and suspicious—she's seen too many con artists in this business. "To slap back hard at the people who've been pushing you around," he says, his words stirring something deep within her. Yet, as she looks at his gleaming grin, all she can picture is her wallet weeping in protest. This is a story of one man's second chance at the director's chair, a single unwavering romance, sweeping emotional tides, and an underlying current of patriotic devotion.
