Two men

There are two interesting men in this show: bodyguard Cic, and screenwriter and director David.

At first, I didn’t expect Cicci to be a very important role. He was originally the woman who was ordered to protect the underworld brother Oliver, a dancer who wanted to be an actor but was as stupid as a donkey. Unexpectedly, he would accompany her every day in the process of responding to her lines. In the middle, Qiqi unexpectedly revealed his unknown artistic talent. He told David his whimsical ideas, and even personally changed the script. From Helen's mouth, we can know that it was Cic who sublimated the script, otherwise it would not be so successful. Unexpectedly, Cic killed Oliver secretly in order to defend his art. Even before his death, Cic was still thinking about telling David how to arrange a perfect ending. Cic is really embarrassing. Who knew that a bodyguard from the underworld would be a real artist?

At first I thought David was nothing but admiration and appreciation for the once smashing actress Helen, but watching him step by step into his blind love for Helen with his girlfriend Allen on his back, I became more and more disappointed in him. Was he blinded to see that Helen just wanted to use his talents to get herself back to the center of the show business? An interesting point in the movie is that a man as an artist actually has two identities: an artist and a human being. The difference is that if a woman falls in love with an artist, then what she loves is a quality and talent. This kind of quality and talent favors whoever she will fall for; if a woman falls in love with a human being, then no matter whether the man is a genius or a mediocre, the heart will be moved. Helen loves an artist, and David’s girlfriend loves not only artist, but also human being.

If David leaves his girlfriend and stays with Helen after becoming famous, then this is just another old man with a heartbreaker. story. Fortunately, David has become more and more aware that the real artist is Cic, not himself. Continuing to pursue an infinite artistic dream, he is at best a second- and third-rate so-called artist, but if he abandons the path of an artist and redeems his true love Alan, he will gain a self-knowing personality and a test of love.
