This movie is totally a waste of money for both its investors and viewers. The director is also the writer, the hero and the narrator, with his poor talent. The movie starts with a long and nonsense narration, and was filled with a bunch of stories which have no connections at all. The actors and actresses are young but trying their best to cover the unbelievable paleness of the story, but it doesn't work. I strongly suggest that the director should turn to some other industries as soon as possible.

Awkwardly amateur and terrible
chinookchen4 October 2017
Warning: Spoilers
I regretted every minute I spent on watching this movie. Usually for any bad movies, I can find some sort of merits. Not with this one: even an amateur with no experience of filming would do better than this one.
First, awkward plot. I don't need to give a spoiler alert because there is nothing to spoil. The tag line would summarize the entire plot: a group of students from a Chinese film school tried hard to get into Chinese showbiz. The end. Yes, you read it correct. That's it. Every student had his/her own little story but the stories were either redundant or boring.
Second, amateur performance. The director is also the main character in the movie. The rest are real students from film schools. Even the director himself could only do superficial performing that loses audience every moment. What more could you expect from the rest?
Third, poor editing. Because the plot is highly fragmented, all pieces were connected by the director's monologues behind the scene. But he's also the main character. And there are many awkward scenes that feature the director but with his voice behind the scene. It makes the scene more like an animated Powerpoint, rather than a movie.
Fourth, terrible music. The theme song was composed and lyricised by the director himself, who has no music background at all and doesn't even know how to use music staff. Yet he had the guts to write the theme song for the movie. I could bear to finish the song and could only use one word to describe it: Uck!

literally the worst film ever
seungeranian19 January 2018
It is a 12-year work by a narcissist shameless doctorate-holder director who is also the script-writer\producer\main actor\theme song writer etc. Shockingly, every aspect of the film is horrible to a whole new level and also a humiliation to all audience.
The worst film on Earth

Horrible

Some said this film is Chinese "The Room" as a film disaster, sorry I think if I have to compare with Tommy W and Zhifei Bi, I will never choose Mr. Bi, cause this film I can not even call that a "film", more like a short video you can find on Instagram but you will never press "Like" after you watch that.
The worst movie I've ever watched

Nobody wronged you.

I have seen this film.It was so amazing that I saw it from the beginning to the end. I admire my patience.The director shouldn't blame Douban.Even if it win an award in Cannes,it can only show that the rater are all fools.
Some Ideas
cheng-340092 August 2018
Several ideas for the movie
1. As a Chinese, I feel it's a shame of Beijing University Chinese film industry.
2. There's nothing wrong with Douban. Bi was just blackmailing.
3. Bi invited many "professors" to talk about this movie and all of them said that the movie was perfect. I felt sad and distressed that Chinese movie industry is leading by these people.
4. I want to say to Zhifei Bi that you shouldn't put this short video that seemed like a PPT on the cinema screen. You should throw it into garbage bin.
Incredibly Awful Film That Should Never Be Produced
zzyatgm30 August 2018
At the beginning of the film, the director shows his lack of literacy in a direct way by narrating bunch of bull s**t. Offensive to all audience.
Ironically, letting this garbage to be shot actually indicates that Chinese showbiz is totally a mess, let alone "pure hearts"
By the way, this thing costs investors nearly 10M
dollars according to the arrogant director Bi.
As a Chinese audience
n-70632-898981 January 2019
First of all I'm super curious how did the audiences oversea even notice the film and why did they even bother whatching it for more than an hour
This film totally brought bad reputation to Chinese film industry, shame on Bi
At least Ed Wood was respectful and to be fair his films are even better than this.
To people who haven't watched this film and have intentions to do it: life is too short and your time is just too precious to be wasted, don't watch it
The worst movie to have ever been made
jamesgrove-7357016 December 2019
I'm dead serious, this movie is so bad that only 1% of Google users liked it. It also has 1/10 on IMDb. It is extremely rare to see ratings that low. I can see why the ratings are like that. The acting is literally the worst you can get. The plot is confusing and makes no sense. The editing is bonkers. The story is uncreative and can only be described as irrelevant. The characters are really annoying and unlikable. The dialogue is the worst. To sum this piece of crap up, just don't watch it because it is literally the worst movie to have existed.
WORST FILM EVER

Warning: Spoilers
This movie contains: bad acting, bad camera filming, unrealism etc.
I dont get the story of the film. I just know that there are som students that wants top be actors/actresses. But nothing more.
On someones review on youtube, he called this film the worst Chinese film ever. But i think that the autobots is worse. Because its boring. This film feels like it carhes the eyes better than the autobots (2015) does.
I would say its not the worst film that i have ever seen, but its akward and painful to watch. Would absolutely never watch this film again.
Not as bad as the autobots (2015), but still one of the worst films i have ever seen. So i would not recommend this film to anyone. Hate it.
