Chen Jianbin, who won two major awards at the Taipei Golden Horse Awards in 2014, returns to small screen.

On a recent Beijing event, the 46-year-old actor unveiled the backdrop of his latest TV series, "Chinese-style Relationship."

Revolving on the Chinese recognition of guanxi, or networking, the 36-episode series explores the different ways of thinking between the West and East, through the perspectives from a middle-aged official and an overseas-educated designer.

The series will run on Beijing Satellite TV from Sept 8, with two episodes every night.

Chen said the script impressed him, for it applies a dark-humor narration to examine the middle-age crisis and ordinary people's struggles.

Chen won the best actor and best new director awards at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival for his directorial debut, "A Fool," in which he plays the protagonist.
