8. "Be Somebody"

The comedy-suspense film "Be Somebody," directed by Liu Xunzimo and produced by prominent Chinese writer Han Han, is a dark horse in the Chinese film market in 2021. The film tells the story of a group of frustrated filmmakers who gather to plan on a new movie about a notorious criminal case along with the actual criminal suspect himself, but the truth is somewhat unexpected. It is a well-written mind maze with enough comedy flair and witty satire, and for the trendy young generation, it looks like the cinematic version of the popular social game -- "Ju Ben Sha," a kind of live-action role-playing game.
