Chinese Showbiz: The Great Director Behind the Fairy Sister

Chen Dong transmigrates and returns to twenty years ago.

Given a second life, he no longer studies how to care for sows.

Instead, he applies to the Beijing Film Academy, gets into the 2002 acting class, and becomes classmates with the legendary Liu Yifei.

It's hard to make it as an actor without someone backing you, so he switches careers and becomes a director. But nobody believes in him, and all he gets is ridicule.

At a press conference, Chen Dong addresses the media: Give me six months. I'll make a movie that dispels everyone's doubts and prejudice against me.

Six months later, Buried, Chen Dong's first film as writer and director, starring Jiang Wen, is released in China. It becomes a massive hit with critics and audiences alike, and even wins an award at the Cannes Film Festival. The people who laughed at him before have now become the joke themselves.

From then on, Chen Dong's career takes off. He not only sweeps the awards at all the major international A-list film festivals, but also turns his girlfriend, Liu Yifei, into an international superstar. And he remains the record-holder for domestic box office grosses!
