A Better Life
  • ★Three-Act Workplace Rebirth
    The story centers on the insurance industry, highlighting the clash of ideas among three generations of professionals:

    Fallen Moment: Top insurance broker Hu Manli (Sun Li) is wrongly accused of data fraud and fired due to an AI claims system error.

    Truth Reversal: She discovers that the mastermind behind her downfall is the disillusioned rich heir Xue Xiaozhou (Dong Zijian), whose father (Zhang Chenguang) seeks to gain control over the family trust.

    Breaking Barriers Alliance: Together, they establish a "Risk Clinic," merging traditional networks with big data analysis to disrupt the insurance ecosystem.

    ★Character Alchemy
    Sun Li as the "Wolfish Mature Woman":

    Develops the "Three-Color Lipstick Rule": bright red for assertiveness, muted pink for maternal identity, and nude for crisis management.

    In a key scene, she uses an old-fashioned abacus to challenge AI algorithms, symbolizing the battle between experiential wisdom and technology.
    Dong Zijian as the "Reformed Prodigal":

    Transitions from a Gucci embroidered suit to a UNIQLO shirt, symbolizing a shift in values.

    Creates the iconic "Coffee Spill Report" scene, showcasing his character's awakening through body language.

    ★Production Highlights

    Workplace Realism: Collaborates with insurance actuaries to replicate underwriting and claims investigation processes 1:1.

    Data Visualization: Introduces a dynamic "Risk Map" wall using AR technology to display client credit ratings.

    Generational Metaphor: Hu Manli’s flip phone contrasts with Xue Xiaozhou’s foldable screen, symbolizing differences in communication methods.

    ★Social Themes Explored:

    Midlife Crisis: Hu Manli’s line, "39 is not the end; it’s the starting point of the second track," resonates deeply in the workplace.

    Digital Transformation: The "AI Claims Agent Misjudgment" case explores ethical dilemmas in algorithms.

    Family Trust: The conflict between the Xue father and son reveals the hidden battles of wealth transfer in high-net-worth families.

    ★Emotional Equation

    Mentorship Legacy: Hu Manli teaches the "Policy Checkup" principles, while Xue Xiaozhou gives insights into the "Gen Z User Profile."

    Female Alliance: The single mother client played by Hu Xinger drives innovation in "Women and Children’s Insurance" products.

    Twilight Romance: Wu Junmei and Liu Jun's silver-haired love story redefines the social significance of retirement insurance.
