[Two Systems + Subverting Expectations + Lighthearted + Smart Characters + Humor]
Jiang Chen is reborn in New York in 2006.
Armed with a max-level library of entertainment skills, he plans to start with a novel and quietly conquer Hollywood.
At a book club, a pretty international student named “Zhou Qianqian” asks him through tear-filled eyes, “Are all the tragedies in your book real?”
Worried about the five thousand dollars his short film has gone over budget, he casually plays the poor soul.
To his surprise, her eyes light up. “I'll invest in you!”
After Liu Yifei binds to the Superstar System, she looks at the down-and-out Jiang Chen in front of her and sees thousands of words describing the accolades he'll earn as he sweeps the Oscars and Cannes in the future.
System Mission: [Invest in him!]
So she puts on a mask, disguises herself as an ordinary international student, and slaps her pocket money down in front of him.
She watches films with him and helps him out by acting in a pinch, thinking she's secretly nurturing a future mogul.
When Jiang Chen's The Fault in Our Stars sweeps the New York Times bestseller list;
when his short film The Tuner sets its sights on Sundance;
when he chats and laughs with a game studio called “Fist” in Los Angeles...
he never stops being grateful to the girl who helped him when he was down.
Until one day, at a Hollywood party, camera flashes pour down like a galaxy.
In full view of everyone, the international star hailed as the “Eastern Goddess” raises her glass to him with a smile, cutting through the crowd:
“Director Jiang, are you satisfied with the returns on my investment?”
