Tyler, an international director, is shooting a new movie in Beijing, but Tyler suddenly falls ill during the shooting, and seeing that the life of the big shot is at stake, he hands over his funeral to You You, a laid-off photographer from the movie studio, who has no money to raise. In order to raise the money, You You and your friends turn the funeral into a blockbuster advertisement.
There are many interesting anecdotes in the play, such as the spoof website “Sogou”, which was turned into reality by Sohu CEO Zhang Chaoyang three years later.
The spoof is also a classic Internet spoof of the high-class apartments told by the psychotic “real estate agent” in the show.

You You (Ge You) gets a job to make a promotional documentary about the work of Hollywood director Tyler (Donald Sutherland), who is shooting a movie in China.
Things start off well, but things take a turn for the worse when producer Tony (Paul Mosolski) arrives.
A leisurely Yo Yo visits a temple with Tyler and Tyler’s assistant Lucy (Rosamund Kwan), and the three of them get along very well.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Tyler suffers a heart attack and his life is in danger. He hopes that You You can organize a funeral for him, and You You takes the job.
You Youu finds an old classmate, Wang Xiaozhu (Yingda), who sees Tyler’s death as a rare business opportunity for Wang, as well as for Tony, except for Youu and Lucy, who face the matter with simple feelings.
Wang Xiaozhu starts to come up with ideas and pulls in so many sponsorships that numerous businesses go out of their way to spend a lot of money to advertise at the funeral.
The situation becomes unmanageable, but unexpectedly, there is another mystery behind the funeral.
