Ling Yichen, a modern movie star, unexpectedly transmigrates to the ancient entertainment industry after an accident. Reborn, he is determined to rewrite his destiny.
In a theater troupe, he ...
Having weathered the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan have both grown and transformed through constant challenges and opportunities. Looking back, they are filled with emotion, and their friendship has become as solid as a rock through all the trials they have faced.
Ling Yichen often fell into deep thought, recalling his naive and inexperienced days when he first entered the ancient entertainment industry, and how he had grown into a capable figure in multiple fields such as acting, literature, music, and fashion. His journey had been fraught with both thorns and surprises. He sighed, "Brother Jun, do you remember when we first joined the opera troupe? Back then, I only knew how to play my role well, completely oblivious to the complexities and vicissitudes of the entertainment industry. It was through repeated setbacks and difficulties that I gradually learned to be strong and resilient." Jun Mo Ran nodded slightly, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes, "Yes, Yichen. Like that time we faced a scandal crisis, it felt like the whole world was collapsing. But it was that experience that taught us that in this industry, you not only need excellent acting skills, but also enough wisdom and courage to face all kinds of unfounded accusations and malice."
Throughout their acting careers, they have continuously challenged themselves with diverse roles and works, from period dramas to modern dramas, from stage plays to film and television dramas; each transformation represents a breakthrough for themselves. Ling Yichen, in his role as Lin Yu in "Urban Dream Chaser," deeply understood the inner struggles and conflicts of modern characters, a stark contrast to his previous roles in ancient dramas. He said, "The role of Lin Yu taught me how to more delicately capture the emotional changes of people in modern society, that sense of confusion between dreams and reality—I deeply empathize with it. Through this role, I felt like I rediscovered myself and understood even more clearly the responsibility of an actor: not just to entertain the audience, but also to convey a sense of power and belief through the character." Jun Mo Ran echoed this sentiment, saying, "Indeed. And when I played Su Ran, I also gained a deeper understanding of the relationship between art and life. Su Ran's persistent pursuit of design showed me my own love and dedication to the acting profession. We grow through our roles, and we also find a way to connect with our inner selves through our characters."
Beyond their growth in their acting careers, their experiences collaborating across different fields have also been incredibly rewarding. While working on the literary work *The Legend of the Pear Garden*, Ling Yichen and Jun Moran immersed themselves in an ancient entertainment world constructed from words. They could argue endlessly over a plot point and meticulously consider the fate of a character. Ling Yichen laughed, "Brother Jun, do you remember when we almost got into a fight over the protagonist's romantic storyline while we were writing the novel? We were both so fixated on our own ideas back then; looking back now, it feels like a very precious memory." Jun Moran also laughed, "Yes, but it's precisely because we both took it so seriously that this novel was able to present such rich emotions and a captivating story. Through this creative process, I discovered that you not only have a talent for acting but also a unique talent for storytelling." Ling Yichen quickly waved his hand, "Brother Jun, you flatter me. Without your literary polish and cultural depth, this novel wouldn't have been so successful."
During the production of their music album "Starry Dream Voice," they faced new challenges. From songwriting and improving vocal techniques to innovative arrangement, every step was fraught with difficulty. Ling Yichen recorded the songs again and again in the recording studio, striving to ensure that every note expressed his inner emotions. He said, "Brother Jun, I was under a lot of pressure during that time, afraid that my singing wouldn't meet my expectations. But every time I saw you patiently encouraging me and discussing how to improve with me, I was filled with motivation again." Jun Mo Ran patted him on the shoulder: "We are a team. In the face of difficulties, only by supporting each other can we go further. Moreover, through this music production, I have also seen your hard work and progress; your voice is becoming more and more infectious."
In the field of fashion design, their jointly created brand embodies their hard work and creativity. From the initial design concept to the finalization of clothing styles, from fabric selection to the control of production processes, they are personally involved in every aspect. Jun Mo Ran said, "Yi Chen, seeing our designs showcased on the runway and loved and recognized by people, the sense of accomplishment is indescribable. Our tacit understanding and mutual trust played a crucial role in this." Ling Yi Chen said with deep feeling, "That's right, Brother Jun. In this process, we learned to listen to each other's opinions, respect each other's ideas, and perfectly combine our respective strengths. It's like our performance on stage; only through tacit cooperation can we present the most wonderful works."
In their cross-sector collaborations on public welfare, they experienced together the joy of giving and the weight of responsibility. While participating in environmental protection activities, they ventured into nature together, witnessing polluted rivers and destroyed forests, their hearts filled with sorrow and a sense of responsibility. Ling Yichen said, "Brother Jun, these public welfare activities have made me cherish everything we have even more, and have made me realize that as public figures, we have an obligation to contribute more to society." Jun Mozhan nodded and said, "Yes, through these activities, we are not only helping others, but also growing ourselves. Our hearts have been purified, and we have gained a deeper understanding of life and career."
Throughout their journey of growth, Ling Yichen and Jun Mozhan's friendship has always been their strongest support. Whether facing setbacks in their careers or external pressures, they have always accompanied and supported each other. When family issues impacted their relationship, they experienced confusion and pain, but it was precisely this deep bond that prevented them from giving up on each other, instead leading them to work together to find solutions.
Now, their relationship has long transcended that of ordinary friends, becoming a deep connection and reliance between their souls. They know how rare it is to find someone who understands and supports them so deeply in this complex world. Ling Yichen looked at Jun Moran, his eyes filled with affection: "Brother Jun, I believe that no matter how many storms we encounter in the future, as long as we walk hand in hand, nothing can stop us. Our friendship, like that ancient pine tree, will only grow stronger with the passage of time." Jun Moran grasped Ling Yichen's hand: "Yichen, you're right. We've walked so many roads together, experienced so much together, and this friendship has become the most important part of my life. I believe we will always be there for each other, writing our own wonderful chapter together."
They learned through growth, and grew through learning. Their friendship, like a brilliant star, shines eternally in the vast starry sky of the entertainment industry, becoming a legendary tale that inspires countless people to pursue true friendship and personal growth.
