   This is a fusion of domestic and international film and television works, covering both on-screen and behind-the-scenes aspects. There are no mindless villainous taunts to pad the word count, no trivial squabbles, and it starts with a grand story set in a traditional courtyard house. After a hundred chapters, the protagonist sets up a global strategy, establishes his own organization, and various film and television characters join the project. It only covers about a hundred chapters of courtyard house content, so those who prefer domestic dramas might want to skip it.
