In the spring of 2003, "Hero" raked in a staggering 3.7 billion yuan at the global box office, marking the beginning of the most frenzied period for Chinese cinema. Subsequently, the United States established the Hollywood film studio outside Los Angeles, aiming to create North America's own dream factory. That summer, Duan, armed with a fake Central Academy of Drama directing diploma he'd paid 20 yuan for, and a script he'd rushed out in three hours, planned to scam an investment of 100,000 yuan—he didn't care if he was later prosecuted for fraud or even imprisoned. The script he rushed out in three hours was called "Saw". Simply put, this is a story set in a parallel world where Chinese cinema dominates and Hollywood doesn't exist, where the protagonist uses knock-off versions of vandalized Hollywood films to crush Chinese cinema.
