Origin Story
年轻的演员小雨为了演好话剧《梁山伯与祝英台》中的祝英台，每天都沉浸在角色中，揣摩人物的情感变化，甚至梦中都喊着“梁兄”。排练时，她与饰演梁山伯的李明配合默契，真情流露，以至于两人在舞台上拥抱时，都忘记了这是在演戏，情不自禁地流下了眼泪。多年以后，小雨和李明真的走到了一起，他们常说，这缘分就是从那场《梁山伯与祝英台》开始的，假戏真做了。
Young actress Xiaoyu, in order to play Zhu Yingtai in the drama "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", immersed herself in the role every day, pondering the changes in the character's emotions, even calling "Brother Liang" in her dreams. During rehearsals, she and Li Ming, who played Liang Shanbo, cooperated tacitly, expressing their emotions sincerely, so much so that when they embraced on stage, they both forgot they were acting and shed tears uncontrollably. Many years later, Xiaoyu and Li Ming really got together. They often said that this fate began with that "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", a fictional play that turned real.
