Floating City Dreamer

In the conference room of Light Arc Pictures, a collapse caused by the concept drawing of "Ling Yun Becomes a Demon" tore apart the glamorous appearance of the animation industry - what Party A wants is the thrill of destroying the world, the creators stick to the core of the character, and capital has already laid out a chess game in the dark. Wang Ye, the boss of Light Arc Pictures, director and producer, is talented but trapped in project difficulties. On one side is the life and death deadline of "Purple Cloud Tribulation", on the other side is an olive branch offered by his old friend Tang Tang with the Hugo Award-winning IP "Star Core Embers", and behind the scenes is Chen Mo, who is eyeing the project and wants to use the cooperation agreement to steal the core patents. Lin Qingning, the talisman of the Arc, keeps the bottom line of capital with a calm approach, plays with the right to speak, and protects the original intention of the company and her lover in the hunt for capital. Lu Ming, an academic who adheres to the original intention of creation, and his energetic junior Ran Ran, fight against the unspoken rules of the industry with an experimental animation "Echo", but resonate with her on the edge of taboo. There is the passion of animators who stay up late to revise drafts, the step-by-step game of capital, and the uncompromising persistence between rules and love. This is a story about animators retaining their skills, love, and original intention of creation in the wave of capital. The industry is full of useful information, business wars are advancing layer by layer, and emotions are redeemed in both directions. Every stroke hides true industry logic and burning love.
