But then she gets the call: she has aced the audition she had done for a famous director for a leading role in his major film. Dreamy is now caught between her dream and reality



Recently, watched The New King Of Comedy 新喜剧之王 with mummy at Shaw theatres Nex.

This comedy film directed by Stephen Chow had a focused story-line. It urged aspiring individual to be courageous and strive in pursuing their dreams. You never know what may come forth if you did not take a step out to even try. That being said, I believe this group of viewers will definitely relate better to the show.  It educated me about the importance of kinship and to stay humble. Not to miss out, the many hilarious moments too.

It reminded me those days being a calefare, where I had to keep myself occupy before being called to perform. Small earnings but the very least I got to experienced it.


I believe if you are willing to work hard, you will certainly succeed one day. Hence, persevere on and never give up even if circumstances may not seems positive. The next successful person might be you.
