About This Novel
Xu Chenglang, who grew up in a small county in western Liaoning, has been immersed in the golden age of Hong Kong movies since he was a child. Zhou Yunfa's chicness, Zhou Xingchi's absurdity, Cheng Long's passion, Li Renjie's fierceness, Liu Zehua's tenacity, these screen images planted a fiery seed in his heart - he wanted to become a much-anticipated actor and let his name light up the screen. He comes from an ordinary family, his father is a taxi driver who leaves early and comes home late, and his mother guards the stove in the canteen of the paper mill. This background makes his dream of becoming a star become an unattainable fantasy in the eyes of his parents. After graduating from junior high school, against the pressure of his family's opposition, he plunged into the acting class of the city's art school. In the summer of 2007, fate finally showed light to him. With a professional score of 82.95 Points, he ranked among the top 30 acting majors in the country and opened the door of Shanghai Film and Television Academy. Here, Xu Chenglang's youth is tinged with love. He fell in love at first sight with Lu Yun, a girl from the Jiangnan Department of Performance, but as soon as his love broke through, he encountered the reality that Lu Yun's heart belonged to her - her eyes were always following Lin Xingyu, the campus darling majoring in modern dance. Shen Xia, who is also from the acting department, is a girl from the same hometown as him from Northeast China. Her sassy and sharp temperament is like a warm sun. She can see the loss in Xu Chenglang's eyes, and she also hides her quietly emerging love and only stays by his side as a friend. And Han Lin, a senior student in the Department of Art Management, silently introduced him to work-study opportunities. Under his gentle protection, his love has long been deeply rooted. The years are fleeting and the light and shadow are mottled. How does he struggle in the entertainment industry? Can he shine on the screen...
