Crossover Actors

“All I’ve ever loved is music, but I ended up an actor… and a f*cking unsuccessful one at that.” Lu Wen, an 18th-tier minor celebrity, has the looks and the body, but zero emotional intelligence. Though gifted with a talent for acting, he possesses absolutely no tact—managing to offend the renowned screenwriter Qu Yanting on his very first day on set. Lu Wen: I really didn’t do it on purpose! Later, he mistakenly believes Qu Yanting is abusing power for personal revenge, engaging in shady practices with young actors, and slapping his name on brainless scripts just for the money. Lu Wen: The entertainment industry is so corrupt. Tetering constantly on the brink of a comeback and a career crash, he goes head-to-head with top idols, speaks his mind boldly, calls out show producers, and abandons the script in a reality show to speak his truth— Lu Wen: I really, really like Teacher Qu. From an 18th-tier nobody to overnight fame, to being hated by the entire internet, to finally cementing his legendary status in one decisive battle—this idiot finally becomes a qualified A-list star. Lu Wen: Thank you, Teacher Qu, for not giving up on me and for not finding me a lost cause! A straightforward, music-obsessed celebrity (gong) × A seemingly aloof but actually intensely socially anxious screenwriter (shou). He raises your IQ, you cure his social anxiety—that’s probably what love is.
