In the winter of 2003, 19-year-old Qiu Yan stepped into the "Golden Years" KTV with all her clothes on.
She thought this was the bottom of her life, but she didn't know that it was the beginning of a legend.
From a box princess to a club queen, from an entertainment godmother to an industrial investor, she spent twenty years walking a path intertwined with neon lights and thorns. In the lowest industry, she practices the noblest business logic; in the turbidest world, she protects the clearest original intention.
In the box of "Golden Years", she got her first tip by reciting "Song of Everlasting Sorrow";
On the top floor of the "Chang'an Club", she chatted and laughed with the rich and powerful;
When "Nightcrawler" came out to ring the bell, she thought of the half piece of steamed bun in the detention center;
Under the dim light of the Dali tavern, she wrote to another "Qiu Yan":
"What we want to build is not an entertainment empire, but a place for loneliness to go, a place for desire, and a place to live every night - this is the real city that never sleeps."
[This is a twenty-year history of changes in the entertainment industry]
[It is also an epic of the brutal growth of a generation of women]
Purpose: Fight against fate
