Someone pitch a c drama where the plot is just that two producers double booked hengdian studios for their new high budget wuxia dramas and now they're fighting over the sets

Actors get halfway through a fight scene before they realize they’re from different shows.

The bridal procession extras deliver the actress to the wrong wedding.

Two producers on different shows realise that they can save money if they share a bunch of sets and all the extras, so they scheme to each book half of what they need at the same time while reporting that they've booked the whole thing, so that they can pocket the difference.

Show A needs to have a scene in a crowded street, while Show B needs to have an indoor scene with a crowded street visible through the window - they can use the same street and the same crowd.

The rest of the show turns into a farce as the two producers try to keep anyone else from working out what's going on. At one point, there's a near disaster because one of the directors wants to shoot from a different angle, which would put show A's camera crew in shot for show B.

At some point, one of the minor character actors figures it out and agrees not to spill the beans if they get a line in the other show so that they can double their credits.

this overlooks the fact that 9 times out of ten they're sharing actors, look at my journey to you and fangs of fortune, all the minors in one are the majors in the other, costuming nightmare

one of my favorite scenes in all of word of honor is episode 14 at exactly the 2min mark where ye baiyi shows up and is like "you're my idiot students idiot stupid idiocity is generational anyway strip my Immortal Daddy sense tells me you ill as fuck" and zhou zishu is like "you want me to STRIP in the middle of the HOTEL LOBBY???" and YBY is like, "god millennials these days" and then they fight and YBY rips a piece of ZZS's undershirt off and the camera pans to it gently fluttering in the wind like it's the last love letter of a jane austen char got from their beloved with news they died in the war as they gaze over the cliffside over the stormy ocean and then BAM Wen KeXing shows up like a jerry springer guest from the side door and is like "UNHAND MY BELOVED THE REASON MY HEART BEATS EACH MORNING WHEN THE SUN RISES" and catches ZZS by his tiny waist to dramatic spin for extra fruit flavor and YBY is like "who the fuck invited this twink?" and then they fight and it explodes a river and shit and ZZS is like "omg you're gonna wake up the whole neighborhood!!" and YBY is like "I'm literally to Daddy to be dealing with this shit just strip so I can diagnose your martial arts cancer" and WKX is like "MY BABY HAS CANCER???" and tries to strip ZZS himself and ZZS is like "what in the fucking 90s shojo manga by Yu Watase Fushigi Yugi shit is this we're in a CLAMP manga stop pulling at my clothes!!!!" and then just to be extra dramatic and Gay (tm) ZZS rips open his own shirt to reveal *gasp* three nipples nails of martial arts cancer and YBY is just like "damn bae you fucked" and WKX has a complete Gay Breakdown
