The Xuan family is a top-tier wealthy clan. They keep a low profile but command immense wealth. Yet the apple of the family's eye has a career that, in other people's eyes, isn't exactly respectable: she's a director.
And so the entertainment industry gained a director with a completely different style. Free from the grip of investors, Xuan Nanhe thrived in the industry. Actresses who had been past their prime for years, playing mothers in other productions, got to show off their full charm. Actors who were undeniably good-looking but forced to play ugly because no investors favored them became the new generation's beauty icons.
Everyone could find the role that suited them best in Xuan Nanhe's scripts. People joked that Xuan Nanhe had single-handedly made the entertainment industry "go back twenty years."
Of course, there were exceptions:
A top-tier star with an average face, hyped up as a peerless beauty, came in to audition. Xuan Nanhe: "Who wants to gouge my eyes out? How vicious!"
An actor praised by his fans for having the sexiest voice read his lines. Xuan Nanhe: "Where's the medicine to make An Xiaoniao lose his voice? Somebody force it down his throat!"
After a few dramas, ordinary viewers, long poisoned by so-called idol dramas, declared: "Director Xuan, you're my god!"
