You Were Supposed to Make a Poverty-Alleviation Drama, So Why Are You Actually Helping the Poor?

Newly minted director Fang Ming is given an important assignment: travel to a nationally designated impoverished township to gather material for a major poverty alleviation drama.

Three years pass without the film wrapping.

The head of the Yangshi Central Television station takes some of the station's young women to visit the set in the impoverished mountains.

Just after they come down the mountain road, they realize something is off.

Rows of modern villas, a street of agricultural specialty shops, a five-star hotel, a Ferris wheel halfway up the mountain, cars all over the streets...

You call this an impoverished township?

The truth about Fang Ming's poverty alleviation work is revealed in an instant.

Countless investors rush after Director Fang:

Director Fang, how about making a sci-fi movie next? Need us to build a space station first? No problem.

Director Fang, here's a script for a big war epic... Need us to set up an arms factory first? You got it.

Facing the media, Fang Ming says: I'm really just making a movie. The rest has nothing to do with me!
