synopsis
By chance, Xia Xingcheng, a mediocre actor of average popularity, received an offer from famous director He Zheng to act in a gay movie titled 'Gradual Distance' with numerous award-winning actor Yang Youming.
In the movie, they had a sweet love; out of it, there was polite indifference. In the movie, they had a sad ending; outside of it, there were ambiguous feelings. The contrast between the two often made Xia Xingcheng unable to return to himself. Because of Yang Youming’s guidance, he stepped into the ranks of actors, but it was also because of Yang Youming that he couldn’t distinguish reality from an act.
Xia Xingcheng never expected that the movie would eventually push him into the abyss of pain and happiness.
