Over the past three decades and more since the reform and opening up, China has witnessed a rapid economic development. In the process of rapid urbanization and in the tide of economic construction as priority, 520 million young people in China have been living under high pressure. Abao, the main character, is a funny clown who jumps between the city and the countryside. He paints his face with oil paint in front of the mirror every day. One day, he found that the colorful mask on his face could not be removed, the oil-colored mask and the flesh face became one. He stood in front of the mirror, unable to tell the true from the false, while his love and career are in a mess. When his girlfriend Kele had a painful abortion and left him, the sudden question of marriage woke him up.

This movie is based on the true story of how a small music recording studio, Chess Records, located on the south side of Chicago, began recording blues music with Muddy Waters (Jeffrey Wright) and Little Walter (Columbus Short) in 1947, and eventually gave birth to rock and roll in 1955 with Chuck Berry (Mos Def). Record producer, Leonard Chess (Adrien Brody) has an ear for this different type of music, and believes he can cash in by signing up new talent such as songwriter, Willie Dixon (Cedric the Entertainer), Howlin' Wolf (Eamonn Walker), and Etta James (Beyonce Knowles). Leonard Chess makes all of his artist part of his family and takes care of them. This is not an easy job for him, because they spend a small fortune on booze, drugs, and the high life. When Chuck Berry goes to jail, Leonard is able to find another talented performer, Etta James, to take his place. In the late sixties, as their music goes out of favor, Leonard Chess gets out of the record business. Douglas Young (the-movie-guy)
