China Entertainment: the Age of Light and Shadow

A story about losers, obsession and glimmers of light. In 2003, Chen Ran, a 45-year-old director of bad movies, died of lung cancer. When he opened his eyes again, he returned to twenty years ago - when he was twenty-five years old, he was in front of the bathroom mirror at the finale party of "Dragon Movie". In his previous life, he made a bunch of commercial junk that was a hit but that he despised. His deepest regret before his death was that he could never make a movie that made him cry late at night. This time, he chose the opposite path.
