You Must Become a Global Top Star: An AI Interactive Film-Game

Players take the role of Lin Zhao, an original singer-trainee returning after three years out of sight. The project combines the emotional momentum of a power-fantasy drama with an interactive system in which performance, evidence, and choices determine what happens next.

As project lead and full-stack developer, I led the product concept and connected branching narrative, multimodal evaluation, progression rules, and the playable experience.

Entertainment-industry power fantasies often rely on sudden fame or romantic validation while leaving stage ability, public-opinion reversals, and industry pressure abstract. Players can choose dialogue, but their own performance rarely matters.

Branching cinematic scenes carry the drama, while singing and dance inputs are evaluated for completion, rhythm, and stage presence. Strength, ambition, and scandal values change with every choice, and gesture-based interactions make the player's body part of the story.

Choose a story response or submit a performance → load the current node and hidden attributes → route the input → apply narrative rules or multimodal scoring → normalize the result and handle exceptions → update strength, ambition, and scandal → resolve the next branch and ending → generate a personalized ending poster.

The project won third prize at the second Beijing Haidian stop of the Douyin AI Creator Transformation Program.
