DIDI'S Dreams, a movie directed by Taiwan television host and actor Kevin Tsai, has recently premiered in Beijing.

Tsai has revealed that he made his directorial debut as a gift to loyal fans of his popular comedy talk show, Kangxi Lai Le.

According to the talk show host-turned film director, the movie tells a story about friendship between girls.

It's also the first film collaboration by Tsai and Elephant Dee, who co-hosted the variety-comedy talk show Kangxi Lai Le, or Kangxi Is Coming, from 2004 to 2015.

Elephant Dee plays a lead role in DIDI'S Dreams as a small potato in the entertainment industry whose elder sister, by contrast, is a big star.

Model actress Lin Chi-ling portrays the elder sister.

DIDI's Dreams also stars Chinese actor and swimmer Jin Shijia and model-actor Li Zifeng.

The film will hit theatres on Saturday.
