Reborn Director: Building a Sci-Fi Empire from 2005

In 2005, the concept of Chinese science fiction cinema is a laughable pipe dream. Wang Hao, a fresh-faced directing student, faces humiliation and failure as his ambitious sci-fi graduation script is trashed as \"bullshit\" by his mentor, the future A-list actor Huang Lei. His dream of a sci-fi universe seems dead before it even began. But Wang Hao isn't just a desperate student; he's a reborn soul from a future where China dominates the sci-fi screen! He holds the ultimate cheat code: perfect memories of countless blockbusters like The Wandering Earth and The Three-Body Problem, along with invaluable industry knowledge, marketing insights, and even actor development blueprints. For him, 2005 isn't a limitation; it's a blank slate ripe for conquest. His first, audacious step? Convincing a skeptical Huang Lei to star in a groundbreaking, low-budget, single-scene sci-fi thriller for his graduation project, securing initial funding from his influential uncle. Can a reborn student, armed with future knowledge and a paltry budget, truly defy industry skepticism and ignite China's sci-fi revolution, charting an epic course among the stars?
