The other is "Autumn Fairy Tale" Zhang Wanting invited Xu Guanwen to play the bow ruler, and the popular sexy woman Zhong Chuhong fell in love, Xu Guanwen still admired Zhang Wanting's literary and artistic films, but Xu Guanwen was already middle-aged when he became famous, playing the greasy uncle mean boss, let him and the younger Zhong Chuhong fall in love, he could not accept it, so he also gave up.
