This movie mainly tells the story of a girl named Su Daji, who was born beautiful but had a simple and lively personality. She showed her stunning beauty when she was just over ten years old and was passively entered into the palace, becoming the favorite concubine of King Zhou.
This girl was born with a vague obsession.
She wanted to find someone.
A person you don't even know how to find, yet you vaguely feel that they are indispensable.
Because of her rough and unruly personality and her youthful naiveté, when she passively entered palace life and began her search for someone, she first mistook King Zhou for the person she was looking for, and then Bi Gan, causing many hilarious and absurd situations.
After experiencing the collapse of the Shang Dynasty, which was beyond her control, the destruction of her country, the loss of her family, and the change of dynasties, the girl, still clinging to the memory of finding someone, perished, becoming a wandering soul in this world.
As she wandered the world as a spirit, she witnessed how later historians, out of sympathy for the emperor's responsibilities, distorted the humorous stories of her search for people, portraying her as a wicked and treacherous concubine, and placing all the blame for the fall of the kingdom on her.
She was naturally furious and tried every means to stop the historian's pen, but in the end, it all turned into a futile joke.
And so she became a wicked and treacherous concubine who brought ruin to the country.
Three thousand years have passed, and after being cursed by countless people, she has even forgotten her original purpose and appearance, gradually becoming the image of a bewitching concubine in the hearts of the people.
Amidst her confusion and bewilderment, she firmly remembered only one thing.
She is looking for someone.
This vague yet unwavering conviction sustained her through countless dynastic changes and across countless long stretches of time in the universe. Finally, when she was at her weakest, she voluntarily allowed herself to be captured by a mental hospital system and ended up in a modern society with highly developed culture and technology.
She casually made a deal with the system's host, a shrewd and beautiful young girl: "Of all the worlds I've been to, I've never been to the entertainment industry. I'll make money in the entertainment industry for you, and you help me find someone."
The girl agreed, but then ripped her off badly.
She was actually arranged to film a low-brow commercial for pig feed.
Fortunately, the small advertisements gave her enough fame, and she debuted through the talent show "Produce 101," gaining countless accolades and popularity. She filmed one project after another, but still couldn't find that special someone...
Until that day, she encountered the reincarnation of King Zhou, who gave her a 'gift' that allowed her to finally find that person.
It turns out that the person she was searching for three years ago was always just her battlefield.
She is her most honest and authentic self.
...
Generally speaking, "the core of comedy is tragedy." Although the theme and intention are somewhat serious, the plot is very satirical, the jokes are cleverly arranged, the climax is well-paced, the overall style is lighthearted but not frivolous, funny but not exaggerated, and the ending makes people think.
This light comedy film unexpectedly became a box office dark horse.
With an investment of less than 15 million, it successfully grossed nearly 2.7 billion at the box office, becoming director Wei Er's second representative work.
Upon learning this news, Yu Ningning immediately announced in her office that she would treat the entire company to dinner to celebrate the success of the film.
Tang Sanzang immediately went to congratulate his old friend Wei Er: "Director Wei, this is fantastic news!"
