Meng Sifan, the female star who is regarded as Ruan Lingyu's successor, Gu Weibang (played by Yang Youning), an unknown young director who comes from a handsome family, and a group of young people pursuing what they need also regard this place as an incubator for their dreams. By chance, Gu Weibang, who was planning to start filming a new movie, met Meng Sifan. The two met at the Palace Cinema. Meng Sifan proposed to Gu Weibang that they should shoot a thriller love movie with the theater as the background.

2. In this way, the two began intensive preparations. Afterwards, Gu Weibang created a script called "Midnight Song", and Meng Sifan invited a popular actor to star in the story. After the preliminary preparations were completed, the crew was ready to start shooting at the Palace Cinema, which was the legendary supernatural theater. Many people persuaded Gu Weibang to give up filming. However, he did not believe in evil and insisted that the crew stationed in the theater and start filming immediately. After the filming started, bizarre incidents continued on the crew. The photographer captured strange scenes, but when the film was developed, they were all overexposed. The crew also said that the scene was "haunted."

Gu Weibang’s fiancée Felice intervened in the investigation of the incident. During the filming of the film, accidents continued, and there were even a series of bizarre murders, and everything seemed to point to Meng Sifan, Gu Weibang, and a long-lasting past event between them many years ago.
