While many liked to say that opportunities in the entertainment industry were plentiful, those truly worth seizing were painfully rare. The industry was crowded, competitive and constantly shifting. For every role announced, there were hundreds waiting. For every project greenlit, countless others died quietly at the proposal stage.

The news alone was enough to stir waves.
Shaoheng had not simply transitioned from actor to director on a whim. He had done so deliberately, stepping away at the peak of his acting career when his name alone could still guarantee box office success. Many had called it wasteful back then. Short-sighted, even.
They had been wrong.
