China Entertainment: I’m Just Brushing a Treasure Chest, Why Are Your Legs Shaking?

Set in 2027, struggling young director Zhou Yang time-travels back to 2007 as a student in the Beijing Film Academy's directing department. Awakening to a devastating reality—his father has been scammed by a friend, leading to the family factory's collapse and a suicide attempt that left his father crippled—Zhou Yang finds himself saddled with over 8 million yuan in crushing debts and hostile creditors. Refusing to accept his doomed fate, he resolves to immediately direct a film and storm the Venice Film Festival to clear his family's name and debts. When his girlfriend Yang Mi abruptly dumps him and tosses him 200,000 yuan as a humiliating parting fee, Zhou Yang remains unfazed. At that exact moment, the Chinese Entertainment Treasure Chest System awakens. Vowing to exact revenge for the original host, Zhou Yang decides to use Yang Mi as a catalyst to farm high-value chests. Soon, he approaches senior student Jing Tian with a bespoke script. Skeptical at first, Jing Tian is swept into a whirlwind of cinematic glory just two months later when the film dominates the 20th Neon International Film Festival, sweeping multiple accolades including Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Artistic Contribution. As Jing Tian becomes fiercely devoted and demands more custom projects, a weary yet triumphant Zhou Yang can only sigh, holding his forehead as his legendary rise through the entertainment industry unfolds.
