Prophetic Dreams

Zhao Hai is a professional painter, but he has hit a creative bottleneck. He hasn't drawn for a long time because he lacks inspiration. Later, he meets a female model named Xiaoling by coincidence. Zhao is preparing to draw a set of works based on Xiaoling, but he keeps procrastinating because he doesn't know where to start. Xiaoling is a nurse, and modelling is just a side job. She has a rich imagination and enjoys dancing in her spare time. She is able to improvise dance based on her daily life experiences. In order to help Zhao find inspiration, Xiaoling tells him stories from her own imagination. After listening to her stories and watching her dance, Zhao finds his creative direction and finally begins to paint.

Directed by Yan Song, Prophetic Dreams leans on a strong ensemble — Ge Ningning, Shang Bingchi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2025.
