I Filmed Hong Kong Movies in Space and Became a Star!

Hong Kong Film Revival in the Interstellar Age

Wen Xulan, a three-time Best Actor, transmigrates to the interstellar age, where he becomes the youngest son of the Wen family, widely regarded as a good-for-nothing, and gains a Director System.

In the interstellar age, global cultural standards have not fallen a hundredfold. The film and television industry is thriving, and even myths and some classic works have been preserved.

Except for the Hong Kong films Wen Xulan loves most.

So he decides to revive Hong Kong films across the stars!

Wen Xulan brings all kinds of classic genres to the big screen: undercover agents on both sides of the law, martial arts chivalry, ghosts and zombies, kung fu action, irreverent comedies about everyday life, gambling films, and more.

“I had no choice before. Now I want to be a good man.”

“What good are your suit, tie, and mobile phone? You think you can talk your way out of this with a boss like him? Blah blah blah blah!”

“Why did you choose nobody else, but your big brother?”

“Once, a sincere love was right in front of me, but I didn't cherish it... If I had to put an expiration date on this love, I hope it would be... ten thousand years!”

These classic lines spawn countless iconic memes, bringing some fun to the dull lives of interstellar people.

The many different kinds of brotherhood leave audiences in tears, then the endings break their hearts until they can hardly breathe.

The comedies have audiences laughing uncontrollably, going through ten buckets of popcorn, only to realize that the heart of comedy is tragedy.

The tangled loves and bitter passions leave the romance-loving people of the stars wide-eyed. They become hooked on juicy gossip and melodramas, fuming at the screen even as they ship the couples to the death.

Through Wen Xulan's lens, the golden age of Hong Kong cinema comes alive again among the stars, a thousand years later!

And the great director known by the alias Guan Xinglan becomes famous throughout the stars!

Everyone in the Wen family looks down on Wen Xulan. The day Guan Xinglan shows his face and is exposed as Wen Xulan, they are all stunned.

What? No wonder those villains looked so familiar. They were actually based on them!

Wen Xulan always watched them like a ghost. So all along, he was thinking about how to write them into his scripts!

Only his feudal-minded big brother turns purple with rage, squeezing out a line through clenched teeth: “Outrageous and against all proper order!”

Xie Su is a hotshot interstellar marshal from Jinjiang. He should be meticulous, taciturn, and wholly absorbed in the battlefield.

And he is, except for one thing: life in the military camp is too dull, so he loves watching films and dramas to pass the time.

Interstellar films all follow the same old formulas, and Xie Su has grown tired of them. But a film that dares to be “outrageous” and turn the classic Journey to the West into a “complete mess” captures his attention.

His adjutant asks if he likes the mighty hero Sun Wukong. Xie Su merely shakes his head, gazing at the handsome young man in white making a cameo.

“I like... him.”

The adjutant: “...”

Didn't the interstellar net say that this character was a cameo by Guan Xinglan?!

1. There are tons of films and dramas within the story, as well as forum-style sections!

2. It features a “copycat author” element, but the works are adaptations tailored to the interstellar setting, alongside original scripts. If that's not your thing, feel free to steer clear.

3. A no-brainer, feel-good career success story! Couple: aloof, B-king, love-struck great marshal x tongue-lashing, work-obsessed director adored by all. Both are strong, the golden finger is huge, and it's strictly one-on-one. I'm still practicing writing romance, so don't get your hopes up too high.

Theme: Love means meeting each other halfway.
