I Am Somebody (2015) (Blu-ray) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version) Blu-ray Region A

Writer-director Derek Yee puts the spotlight on the faces in the background in the comedy-drama I Am Somebody, casting no-name extras to play bit actors and extras trying to catch a break. The film is set in China's Hengdian World Studios, the world's largest film studio and the shooting locale of countless Chinese period productions. Audiences are introduced to the world of Chinawood through the eyes of bumbling country boy Peng (Wang Guopeng), who arrives in Hengdian with nothing to his name besides an earnest desire to become an actor. From there, he befriends fellow wannabe thespians with dreams and disillusions of their own, and gradually learns the ropes of life as an extra at Hengdian, from survival know-how to working protocol, in the process offering a slice-of-life insider's look into acting and filmmaking in all its scrappy glory.

In the middle of China, there’s a town called Hengdian. In this town, there is a movie lot that is bigger than the studios of Universal and Paramount put together. This is the Hengdian World Studios, aka “Hollywood of the East”. It attracts production teams from all over the world, and as a result, creates a new label in the Chinese population – “Hengpiao”, which literally means the “Hengdian Nomads”. These people are mostly extras on the movie set, and they’re usually perceived as those who dream of becoming movie stars, “I’m Somebody” is inspired by these extras, and for once they get to be the leads. The story evolves around several young people chasing their dreams in Hengdian.
