Beyond Filter

Makeup artist Lu Mei'an has established a foothold in the industry with her craftsmanship. She has an ordinary appearance and a distant and indifferent personality. Her entire focus is on work and she has no obsession with stardom. The top singer-songwriter Yu Zhe has an almost bewitching appearance and figure, and he is used to playing with the world. Teasing is a habit he has picked up easily, and scandals have never stopped. During a large-scale music festival, Lu Mei'an was temporarily assigned to do makeup for him. When they first met, Yu Zhe habitually expressed ambiguity, only to receive her cold and business-like response. The more he hit a wall, the more interested he became. He had seen many people flocking to him, but this one only saw the outline of his makeup, not his face that attracted everyone. A romantic veteran meets a cold-hearted craftsman who is dedicated to his career. He was probing and teasing step by step, while she retreated and drew clear boundaries. When the layers of flashy filters peel off and the noisy stage comes to an end, two completely different people see each other's true appearance hidden beneath the surface. Intent: Strip away the flashy filters of the entertainment industry and explore equal intimacy. The female protagonist does not rely on appearance to gain preferential treatment, but realizes her self-worth through professionalism, and does not regard love as the salvation of life; the male protagonist tears open the protective shell of the romantic game, learns to remove the routine and deliver his sincerity. Relationships are not the cliché redemption of a prodigal son being influenced by an ordinary girl, but two independent and complete adults who, after seeing through each other's appearances, accept each other's imperfections and find a balance between career and love. At the same time, it reflects the reality of the industry: under the halo, everyone has difficulties, and sincerity is far more precious than personality and skin.
