Even though he is known as a famous celebrity, Song Yang (Z. Tao) turns out to have fears about his mission as an actor. Realizing that he doesn’t have much talent in acting, Song Yang seeks guidance from Ding Ke Mang (Wu Gang), an old artist who is known as an outstanding performance artist who has spent half of his life on stage.
The relationship between two artists from different generations began when the theater decided to recruit Song Yang to partner Ding Ke Mang in a drama entitled ‘Father and Son’. The goal is to take advantage of Song Yang’s popularity so that tickets can be sold out.
At first, Ding Mo Mo (Sun Yi) didn’t like Song Yang’s presence to pair up with her father. But gradually the daughter of Ding Ke Mang was able to accept the actor’s presence, knew and even fell in love with Song Yang.
Meanwhile, the relationship between Ding Ke Mang and his wife, Jiang Ye (Liu Bei), is on the verge of breaking up and is even on the verge of divorce because of Jiang Ye’s tough and domineering personality. Luckily, in the end, the husband and wife can understand and respect each other.
Under Ding Ke Mang’s tutelage, Song Yang learns to overcome his impatience, resist the temptations of fame and fortune, and understand the world of performing arts with respect. Eventually Song Yang managed to become a complete actor, both in terms of popularity and skills.
