A drama actor from Nanjing, who was not happy with his life, accidentally traveled to a film studio in Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s when he was playing a small role in various drama groups in Shanghai. He met and encountered a series of Shanghai cultural celebrities at that time, and realized the true meaning of drama performance and even the origin of Chinese drama. Among them, his encounter with Miss Zhang Ailing not only resonated emotionally, but also helped him achieve great success in the theater company's revival of the drama "Love in a Fallen City", and opened a door to Shanghai's past and present, magic and glory.
Purpose: Use this work to show the charm of the magical city of Shanghai from another perspective.
