A brooding, taciturn director with a Triple Gold Grand Slam × a scatterbrained, top-tier star idol | A sweet, indulgent showbiz romance with double standards
Xie Qingyan is a director hailed as a master of art-house cinema and a Triple Gold Grand Slam winner. Everyone in the industry knows him as a tyrant on set: he has made half the crew cry and never once shown anyone a kind face.
That is, until he made an exception and cast Jiang Muci, the boy-band center the entire internet had written off.
Everyone was waiting for the "pretty face" to crash and burn. Instead, Xie publicly stood up for him: "Before you question him, question me first."
The whole crew gets yelled at. Jiang Muci is the only one who has never been scolded. When others mess up, they hear, "Do it again." When he does, Xie says, "Let's do it one more time." Everyone else gets called by their full name, but with him, it somehow becomes just two characters: "Muci."
Jiang Muci gradually realizes that there may be more to the director changing his blocking, adding scenes for him, and confiscating the milk tea Teacher Ji brought him than meets the eye.
He's slow on the uptake, scatterbrained, and completely oblivious.
But the whole internet has figured it out:
Director Xie, why are you jealous again?
All sweetness, no angst, and plenty of laughs. Jealousy is just sugar in fancy wrapping. From playing favorites on set to taking the internet by storm, from a secret romance to a public announcement, this is a sweet, mutual love story with no misunderstandings or melodrama, sweet enough to make your teeth ache.
Theme: Love should not be defined by gender, and sincere feelings deserve to be seen and taken seriously.
