Overview
In certain hotels in Beijing, diverse crowds of men and women from all age groups and birthplaces gather each day. The sole point they share in common is that they seek to make their names by auditioning for movies and television roles. In particular, the rising genre of online movies has gained attention from these hopefuls. Such locations attract not just aspiring actors, but directors, production staff and investors as well. However, all are aware that the line between fortune and failure is a fine one in this unpredictable field. In this episode, we follow Beijing's "audition hotels", and how they reflect a booming new genre of Chinese media.
