ELDT On Screen: Art School Musical 2018

All begins with a nightmare.

Zhu Yingtai wanted a journey of self-exploration in the Art School, but somewhere in her consciousness this idea was inverted, and she convinced herself that her parents were right: Life is all about planning and model answers. 1+1 always gives 2. Waking up from this she realise she is indeed in the Art School, and something all artists long for appears before her, a muse: Liang Shanbo.

His composure stirs her thoughts; his manners raise questions. However, in contrast to the fertile inspiration of Zhu, Liang feels that he is eternally a piece of white paper - A painting that isn’t drawn, might as well not be drawn.

In this pair of teens who admire each other, who inspired who? And who succeeded who?
