In Shanghai in 1935, everyone had two faces.
He is the "movie emperor" on the screen, with a cold and aloof face. He grinds a shot thirty times, and is known as "Crazy Man" on the set. But after the show, he would hand someone hot milk tea with the tips of his ears red, and kiss them for real during the kissing scene.
She is the most mysterious screenwriter "Yan Qiu" in Shanghai. She never shows her face and writes all the romance with just one pen. No one knows that she is not only writing movies, but also code words - every line may be a piece of information.
He is the heir to Jin Shipping, with a cold face and a hidden smile. But the old case of her family's death pointed to his father.
He is a young master who ran back from Nanyang. He is extremely well-behaved, extremely soft-spoken, and smiles like the sun. No one will guard against a beautiful boy who is afraid of the dark, ghosts, and thunder, and this becomes his sharpest knife.
When the camera turns to everyone, no one can guarantee that they will not be exposed in the viewfinder.
The drama is fake. The gun is real. The heart is even more real.
"Under the neon lights of Shanghai Beach, everyone is acting. There is only love. It is a scene that I have failed to perform countless times."
——"Record of Romance in a Foreign Country", in the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, the romance begins, and murderous intent is hidden.
Intent: In an era where everyone is "acting", "heart" is the only thing that cannot be acted out; and all real costs begin from the moment this heart cannot be hidden.
