SYNOPSIS

This is an AI short film created to mark the 130th anniversary of the birth of world cinema and the 120th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema. At the film celebration banquet, the ghostwriter was suddenly struck and killed by a falling chandelier, yet this event unexpectedly opened the door to rebirth for her. She vowed to become the "beacon of the industry" in the film world and was willing to mortgage her name, soul, and even her entire self to achieve this goal. After returning to the world, she once again immersed herself in film creation but gradually lost her way amidst the interplay of commercial torrents and the halo of art. Ultimately, in a familiar cinema, she rediscovered her original intention and rekindled her initial dream of cinema—it turned out that the true "light" was the gleam in her eyes when she first encountered the silver screen.
