Director Ma Shitu is the director of the drama At the Bottom of the Food Chain. He is famous in the industry for his stubbornness and dedication to his artistic ideals, refusing to bend to money-driven investors. He sold his house and personally invested five million into this drama, holding absolute control over it. Despite the financial pressures and the need for investment, he maintained his standards and harshly criticized Jing Canxian's terrible audition performance. When the ten million investment from Future Sailing Group arrived, he felt relieved and could finally breathe easy, allowing him to be honest about the casting decisions.
