"In this temporal world, we still fell in love unwaveringly." - In the tenth year after embarking on his acting career, Yu Cheng won the Best Potential Actor award and then collaborated with the movie actor Zhong Shao in the movie "Same Or Not". This is a story of two Alphas in love in a futuristic world. The futuristic world is as utopian as science fiction but with a certain preference for elements named "worldliness and prejudice." The spotlight beyond the screen cannot escape the supremacy of entertainment. However, when the camera focuses on them, actors are not just a profession and a form of adulation, but a means and a way to break another kind of "chauvinism" in a different sense.

They are as tacit as one, always sharp and gentle. Under worldly constraints, they love each other unwaveringly, neither publicly nor shying away from the camera. - PS: 1) 5 updates per week in general;
