So people still can chase for their dream in Hengdian even they have changed that already.

Conclusion

Although it is impressive that many people fight for their dream, they just ignore the fact, none of the actor get famous from Hengdian. This is because the important actor would select in Beijing. The people who select Hengdian is just the walk-on and no one would care about them. Moreover, most of these people are in a low education level. It is not meaning the education level is the qualification of the actor but some of them cannot even read the script. This is impossible for them to become an actor.

Although these walk-on have become the main character in this movie, there do not have anything change their life. They all get back to Hengdian and continue their work as walk-on. Even though the main character, Wan ask the director Derek Yee for a character on the next movie. Derek just reject him. This shows that the movie do not provide any changes to them.
