"Folks, who gets it? Losing money is my comfort zone!"
Chen Lang, the film-school king of doing nothing, gets a "Film and TV Cashback System."
The rules: Make a profit, and you get just one-thousandth back. Lose money, and you get a full refund!
What a deal!
Chen Lang slaps his thigh. With two hundred thousand in startup funds, he sets his sights on becoming the "King of Bad Movies"!
So he assembles a dream team of utterly hopeless talents:
A two-hundred-jin leading man who turns office workers into tragic heroes. Check.
A poker-faced leading lady who plays programmers as cold-blooded killers. Check.
A dropout cinematographer whose handheld shots are so shaky they could give you Parkinson's. Check.
With that two hundred thousand almost in the bag, Chen Lang is already laughing himself awake in his dreams!
But then...
The audience: "A masterpiece! This is what true realism looks like! The director is a genius!"
The critics: "Thunder in the silence! The dark horse of the year, a prize winner for sure!"
Watching the ratings soar, Chen Lang is left numb.
"Emergency! My money is in danger!"
What's with this generation of audiences and actors, huh? Why are you so determined to hand me money?!
