    I was moved.
    I am a Chinese audience,I saw the film on TV.

    In the movie, in order to survive after losing her job, tie Nan goes to the news station to play all kinds of passers-by, and even acts as a mass actor in the TV series. When he succeeds in selling goods with monsters as hero in the shopping TV station, she is despised by the audience because the goods she sells are fake. It's really hard! Obviously this is a comedy, but I was moved!
