Chinese Showbiz: Winning All Skills in a Dream, Making a Web Series with Sister Mi

A strange phenomenon in the sky above an airport plunges Li Jin, a directing student at the Beijing Film Academy, into a vision. He relives his life in the entertainment industry, full of setbacks and failure, ending in quiet obscurity. When he wakes, he has unexpectedly gained a complete set of skills from the vision. He excels at screenwriting, directing, singing, massage, and acting, but has no fame or connections to speak of.

In the summer of 2010 in Hengdian, Li Jin takes his rudimentary equipment to Honey, who is filming The Palace: The Lock Heart Jade, and invites her to star in the web series Modern Love. Everyone else thinks web series are lowbrow, and Feng Shaofeng is even less optimistic about the venture. Li Jin has a clear goal: use clever comedy sketches and catchy original songs to make a short series that defies the industry's expectations. He shoots during gaps in the production schedule while refining the script and soundtrack, determined to prove his abilities with his work and take Honey's popularity to another level.

The web series gets lackluster numbers when it first launches, but after Honey helps promote it, its lively romantic comedy sketches and addictive theme song quickly go viral. Li Jin doesn't stop there. He also comes up with an unconventional plan for a viral short video, intending to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry within ten days with an unexpected hit song.
