A breakthrough journey for intangible cultural heritage in the entertainment industry
When a thousand-year-old guqin meets a top-tier star competition, and traditional lacquer art clashes with virtual idols, Lin Yanqiu, an inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, is forced to enter the entertainment industry. She joins a competitive variety show as a “cultural relic restorer,” only to unexpectedly uncover a hidden connection between show business and the protection of intangible cultural heritage. The story blends a light mystery about stolen heritage, a heartwarming revival of traditional crafts, and an unconventional career-focused plot with no romance. Amid rigged talent shows and battles over capital, it explores the struggle to preserve traditional culture in the age of online traffic, and the possibilities for breaking through.
