Beside the photo were the words he had said at the celebration banquet: "To live is to have dreams, and with dreams, one can certainly carve out a semblance of oneself. So, no matter when, never give up on yourself!"
After the movie premiered, it ended with a shocking flop.
He once drowned his sorrow in alcohol, and at that time, everyone avoided him—except a green and inexperienced extra who followed the drunken him every day, repeating that sentence he had said at the celebration banquet, urging him not to give up on himself.
Not until he sobered up, stopped drinking, and rallied again.
But that extra disappeared, and he couldn't even recall what the extra had looked like.
He remembered that during the first time he received the Best New Director Award, he had thanked that obscure extra.
Little did he expect, that extra was Ou Linlin.
He remembered that selfie—it was taken when he had collapsed at the entrance of Hengdian, with the extra helping him stand.
