Cheng Youwan was a Grand Slam-winning actress. In an era when acting reigned supreme, her performances were called a living textbook.
Whether it was the Method, the Presentation, or the Experience approach, she excelled in them all, and her shelves were laden with awards.
One day, she fell ill. When she opened her eyes again, she had arrived in a parallel world where popularity reigned supreme and acting left much to be desired.
And she had just turned four.
Cheng Youwan was overjoyed when she realized this.
Acting was her lifelong passion. In her previous life, she had played all kinds of roles, but had never been able to portray a child because of her age. Now, at last, she had the chance.
Cheng Youwan immediately convinced her actress mother to take her into the entertainment industry.
But what she encountered was:
A second male lead with lines so bad nobody could understand him;
A leading lady who needed eyedrops to cry;
A leading man who was always trying to look cool and strike a pose;
And veterans who improvised so awkwardly it was painful to watch, yet thought they were amazing...
Cheng Youwan rubbed her brow with her chubby little hand, helpless.
But what could she do? She was just a little girl who had turned four.
At last, during a scene, four-year-old Cheng Youwan looked at her scene partner, who had been trying and failing to cry for ages. She rubbed her little cheeks, reddened from waiting for the other actor to get into character in the cold.
The little girl reached out and held the other actor by the shoulders.
Her clear, babyish voice rang through the set: "Look into my eyes. I'll help you get into character."
