Pure Hearts: Into Chinese Showbiz is widely considered as one of the worst Chinese movie ever. The director's name is now a nickname for bad directors in general. Why is that?
Some may consider this film to be a cult "so-bad-it's-good" movie, like the Room. I personally just think it's embarrassing and offensive. Why? Let's take a look.

you should swear in chinese in the next video 😉
holy shit my man Ranton also watches this small-time but soon to be big-time youtuber whose content I love very much?
Feels so fucking good man.
Greetings, chinese comrade.
Holyshit what's up Ranton! Just a subscriber passing through...
臭傻逼导演like this
you bet entire international Chinese never even heard or see this movie before.
Me, a Chinese, seeing the tumbnail: Hm, can't recognize that one. I wonder if I know this...
Me, seeing the title of the movie: *Ah yes, that shit.*
truly a masterpieceofshit
LOL
how do you have youtube?
@@geralt8394 i live in europe
@Fk Ff bro ive been living here long before covid
This just goes to show you that every country has weird vanity projects that are basically glorified fan fiction with incredibly tone deaf storytelling
I thought of it sounding like terrible fanfiction as well!!
Who somehow gets funding for the project even if the story is stupid......smh just how is that possible?!
The worst global inequality gets, the more deranged spectacles we'll have. The doco tickled is a good example of the phenomenon.
@@haiqal5333 if you wanna see the American equivalent, watch a Neil Breen movie.
I read enough Chinese Light Novel for 10 years to tell you the recent few years, the quality of most Light Novel drop down so much, it is basically stealing the popular plots and mix them together and continue to do this on so many Light Novel.
“The worst Chinese movie ever”
...as of today
Yeah, They are still making all those pointless Chinese New Year comedy stuff and those can only get worse and worse every years
@@askovtk4834 And those terrible Chinese mythical romance movies.
seems like a good movie.. this movie should be called the Biography of the Harvey Weinstein of China..
@saberspark downwards spiral nooooo
More cheesy WWII dramas have yet to come
"I wonder if I'm gonna see the Crazy Rich Asians hall of mirrors joke aga-"
"WE WERE INSPIRED-"
Ah yes
"i feel it's not a music video, but a future blackmail video" lmao
When he mentioned "Chads" I was dead, then the "Stacys" show up I reincarnated
When the "experts" are only willing to give vague and nonspecific compliments, that tells you that the movie is bad, yes. Damning by faint praise, indeed.
Yeah it seems the crappy reviewers is a worldwide fenomenon
Expert: it has a good title...
And to mention they dont get the humor or what the movie is like that. Immediately brands it as bad movie
“The Chapter titles are very well done”
Oh my god… that’s hilarious
The author managed to publish a film with a plot of... pornography? That's quite an achievement in China lol.
So... when are we going to do a watch party (the room style).
For what it's worth, this movie has exceptionally well done subtitles... We can definitely watch it together. Just... Let me take a break from it first.
@@AccentedCinema lmao, sounds like a plan. Watch it on April Fools or sometime similar xD
I'm in. Let me know the day and time. I got two young kids so no time to visit the Cinema, no 1917, no once upon a time in Hollywood, but yes for this!
@@AccentedCinema The film in itself is a crime against humanity and a human rights violation... Makes the Uyghur camps, Tiannamen Square Massacre, and the Hong Kong protests look like a kid's movie
@@AccentedCinema you should swear more often. It's hilarious
6:22 "Baby is sad, but Baby doesn't give a shit." I feel like that's what the movie editor or translator wants to say about the movie
Accidentally said the quiet part out loud.
Dosen’t *
@@hatpal2287 ???
@@mr.prince6980 there is a typo in the actual movie
@@hatpal2287 omg! I just saw it....
the movie poster looks like a 10 year old discovering that you can use more than words in ms word
I think I laughed way too much and loudly watching this--what a shift in tone of voice from your analysis of Parasite!
Keep up the good reviews!
2:49 THAT is dance sequences ? That's more like those old-timer gymnastics that is only used by boomer neighborhood, and that's me actually being nice on this.
This movie costs 3M!
Mulan: Hold my beer
Cuties: Hold my Pepsi
@@manvithharikiran2675 you literally have child twerking. It's basically just made for child predators.
@@tryomama Yeah but at least it has a coherent plotline unlike this movie
@@mr.worldwide4758 it's both very offensive. One is morally and the other is both morally and film making. Still a no
@@manvithharikiran2675 Cuties is too badly executed beyond redemption.
Better to behead myself with a chainsaw than to watch Cuties imo.
Minute 1: “That’s the f*cking poster?”
Minute 2: “That’s the f*cking song?”
I just can’t stop f*cking laughing
That's the fucking title? _Dose n't_ _Shit_
Man I hope the Versailles bit lives on in your videos, even if it's like every third video.
A BAT CREDIT CARD?!?!?!?!
This is a stunning and important video.
We see this type of film far more often than we should.
Thank you for your work, as always.
So the director went through all the difficulties of his life to became a director , just to fullfill one of his dream from his teenagerhood.
talking about waste of industry resourse and air. this seriously makes me mad
.....可真是苦了你
7:14 this is something that interests me. Why does it seem that Chinese movies like to show 'making of' or 'bloopers' clips in the credit scenes?
The part where the good boy suddenly losing his legs was just flat out bewildering. What kind of director just decides all of a sudden that he should be losing his leg without any form of background or events whatsoever. Thanks for letting me learn the lowest of the Chinese movies. Hope to see more.
Must have had some beef with the director ahahaha
I love how you really offended in this video.
I can really see why. Because you are film maker.
And see someone who make this film like this feels insulting to you.
@@No-hf5xb Oh, let me explain. He is film maker. And saw someone who just a narsistic and incompetent writer director ans also Main actor in the movie can make a movie like this and funded 3M USD.
He offended because as film maker, he imagine what movie he can do with that budget. What story he can make.
My sister: Mom, can we watch Crazy Rich Asians?
Mom: We already have Crazy Rich Asians at home.
Crazy Rich Asians at home:
“I’ve seen darkness” 👍🏼❤️❤️❤️😂🤣👍🏼. Ok, there is a movie called Fame. There’s one call Flashdance. There is Drumlime. The are many good movies and this writer director failed at ripping off a good movie.
Stop adding things to my list OMG, I'm like a fly on top of a pile of sh*t, I just can't resist lol.
3:42 thats why you dont avoid a isekai death.
I know this is a horrible movie but damn that car accident scene was so brutal. At least it was to me because I really don't want to imagine getting my legs crushed by a delivery truck.
thank you! i have seen SO MANY bad "western" films, it's good to see bad movies from other places too! 8D
Darn, and I was betting on Shanghai Fortress, too.
Bilibili is full of uploaders crapping on it and all the ways that it's bad, too.
In terms of big name crap movies, I'd put 2013's Switch on top of Shanghai Fortress.
@@AccentedCinema I googled and found that they have similar title desgin, like lots and lots chinese movies, and TV shows, and product packages. Why on earth this kind of typography is so overused in China ?
glad you're back, after watching this, there are so many "why?" question pop up in my mind right now
This movie was so bad, when you showed the Sky Diving at the end with an ACTUAL CAMERA IN THE SHOT I actually screamed in Canto
'Aye ya yau-mou gau chore ahhhh????'
2:29 I think he tried say "womanisers" instead of "chads". A womaniser is a man who has a reputation for being promiscuous and having a lot of sexual relationships or affairs with women. The term is typically used to describe men who are not interested in pursuing long-term or committed relationships and instead prefer to engage in casual sexual encounters. The term is often associated with a negative connotation, implying that the man is dishonest or manipulative in his relationships with women.
You really should mute the whole soundtrack of the movie clips and mosaic the face of the director. Hell, I feel really offended even by just watching a single clip.
up主辛苦了，难以想象你是怎么忍受下来的。
You have to wonder what rewards did he get from watching this dumpster fire.
Hmm, so we have a bloated budget, a half-assed story full of overused tropes, and zero substance all culminating in 90+ minutes that is completely devoid of any enjoyment. If the director's goal was to make a Chinese-produced version of your typical Hollywood movie, he absolutely nailed it.
This is the best channel on TH-cam. So happy I found this.
11:25 I've heard this song before! Suppressing public opinions to uphold an image of perfection!
This film is really famous in China.when any new movie is bad,people will talk about which one is worse.
"THAT'S THE F*CKING POSTER!!!"
I love this channel. 😭😭😭😭
EDIT: "Not to mention the dance sequences... yeah, DANCE SEQUENCE!!!" 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
In loving memory of my dignity lol
What I'm hearing is that this movie is a Chinese take on the premise of "Rent"
You ripping movies apart is hilarious, you definitely should do more.
AC's therapist: " The Worst Chinese Movie" doesn't exist
AC: If you're so sure than why don't go see what I'm talking about
AC's therapist: sees what he's talking about
AC's therapist: you were right
All the actors and actresses also look like they were treated like shit. Hope the director actually gets punished for it if that is the case. Nothing makes me more angry when people livelihood are on stake.
Bro, can you make a list of great Chinese movies? Im a huge fan of Korean and Japanese movies but finding good Chinese movies are the most hardest for me
Drpends really what your definition of "Chinese" is...
You will like Farewell My Concubine by Leslie Chang
I still feel this movie is not exactly a movie. More like student practice or something....
Hey dude, how long will you make the worst Chinese animatiom films ever after this video?
I think I know which animation you're talking about
Wow. This film took 10 years to make and THIS IS THE RESULT!?!?!?!?
We had this kind of movie in indonesia last year. It title bali:beats of paradise from livy zheng. Lol.
Uh ow... sssst she is an oscar-grade director hahahaha
Oscars-image bruh
@@SunAlfiChannel
Ohoho...hollywood title better watch out about this narsictic director.
Wait, wasn't it her Brush with Danger?
The fact that Crazy Rich Asians, the movie about Chinese culture which was funded by Hollywood company done a better job than the eastern company and the saddest part is that the movie was generally a much better movie to watch than the most recent Chinese movies from China.
When I realized that SNH48 is performing the movie's theme song and somehow bashed it in some ways on their theater show... this blows my mind.
really shows how fucked up this movie is. I chuckled on "This album is for future blackmailing" 😂😂
It’s the band’s old shame!
What a surprise to find a fellow pop idol otaku in this channel lol
i only watched 3/4 of the video yet and i came to conclusion that this director does all of this just so he can get close to girls in a "fairly legal" way
I'm so glad that I recently discovered you
top tier quality content my friend! keep it up :D
i knew that versaille joke was coming but it still gets me
Good to see that Hollywood is not the only movie industry that has a lot of money but cannot produce a good script on the screen for the life of it.
In the words of Confucius: there is no Worst, only Worse.
Surprising the government doesn't ban the film out of shame...
This movie would work better as a series with different episodes focusing on different people in the entertainment industry and a different story with the professor as the reoccuring center character.
7:50 what is that song called?
The teacher in this movie just wants to be Onizuka from GTO.
6:05 Thank you.
wow，great video，很喜欢你的影片，你对中国电影的理解已经超过了很大一部分中国的影迷，希望看到你的新作品！
Title: "The Worst Chinese Movie Ever Made". First line "and that's the fu*cking poster"... pretty much best introduction to a youtube video I've ever seen. Immediate like.
Rest of the video was a really great film analysis, but oh man you really did have me just at that amazing opening line.
*THE WHOLE FUCKING SONG IS LIKE THIS...*
This entire thing is like a MGTOW's wet dream. Why can't I stop all these vomit coming out of my mouth. It's incredibly fitting you use all the incel vocab because I think that's who they are targeting. The movie flopping is great news to me because it shows we still have hope in humanity.
I dont get it
mgtow? This guy get married when the film end!
if really mgtow, he would accept girlfriend leaving him and never mention her again.
The fact that you think MGTOW and Incels are the same thing, disqualifies you from anyone bothering to take you seriously. MGTOW is going our own way and self fulfilment, not letting women dictate and control a man’s life and his society either. Incels are hopelessly obsessed with getting women to like them and are hopeless desperate who can’t get laid or even girls. MGTOW are literally formerly marrieds, sons of divorce-grapefruit fathers, and those with their eyes open and minds strong.
Arguably, one can not make good movies, until one has made bad movies
This sounds like something straight out of fanfiction.net
I look at that poster and all my brain can think is "GrApHiC DeSiGn Is My PaSsIoN"
movie just screams "cringe" and "flex"
"Put it back on!" That line is unintentionally hilarious.
You should definitly watch the german movie "Kartoffelsalat". I think its just the badest movie ever created :D
Potato salad?
It was made by German TH-camrs for the most part who admitted not caring much about the critics because their fans just care about seeing their favorite TH-camr on the silver screen.
Honestly I can't get over this insert at 06:06. It's funny every time you use it!!
I caaant!!
WAIIIIIITTTT!!!! the IMDB said that the director took him TEN YEARS TO WRITE THE SCREENPLAY AND TO PRODUCE THE MOVIE?????? FOR REAAALLLL?????
This happens when you make a movie with tiktok actors
Versailles too was the vanity project of king Louis XIV...Maybe the future generation will see this movie for the wonder it truly is....Or not
"The film doesn't even believe its own message."
Yeah, Hollywood called, they want to sue for stealing their shtick.
Hey! 11:51
This is Russian style of blaming попил!
This movie has to be a state-sponsored parody of the capitalist showbiz
frome I.M.B.D Pure Hearts: Into Chinese Showbiz is the maiden work of Ph.D. Bi Zhifei, a 36-year-old director. It took him ten years to write the screenplay and to produce the movie. This is an unprecedented work where a bold decision was made to star 17 students learning in the Acting Department of eight the most prestigious Arts academies in China. The movie portrays the unforgettable pleasures and sorrows among a kind and earnest acting instructor and his 17 good-looking students after entering the showbiz during their four years of college.

So this movie is an amalgamation of everything wrong with Chinese cinema today. Got it!
Chinese Donghua tv series Rainbow sea at least has a coherent plot and has a wonderful film sequel.
I watched a lot of Chinese movies and dramas. I swear it's so hard to find a worth watching produced after 2010. Cheap CGI, appearance over acting, bad writing.
0:13 this far in and I am already know this is going to be a trip.
It's like watching a train wreck happening in real time. But the train is crying in pain in Cantonese.
Here in Philippines, we have films way way worse and too many trash to filter. Both Chinese and Southeast Asian films were great back in the old days. Now what happened?
Now we see Japan generating good shows both live-action, J-pop, and anime. Korean TV dominating Asia and a film eventually winning an Oscar.
I think it's good that you can pinpoint the worst Chinese movie because in the Philippines there are at least dozens of candidates for the worst Filipino movie and the list is getting longer every December of the year.
Bloody hell, Filipino films have gone down into hell in terms of quality.
Some of the later movies from the MMFF "showstoppers" Vice Ganda (after Praybeyt Benjamin 1) and Vic Sotto (the Enteng Kabisote entries after "Enteng ng Ina Mo") were the worst Philippine movies ever produced. And don't get me started on Philippine television, some of it came from other TV stations like Bagani from ABS-CBN and Victor Magtanggol from GMA.
The way you speak in this particular video reminds me of Sleeping Dogs. A man who never eats a prok bun is never A Whole Man
You need to release an uncensored version of this video with all your cussing glory
The 27 dislikes are from the director and his ghost accounts
First time I saw the poster and my thoughts is
Is that Chinese's Pie?
What was the name of the huge fantasy movie that was delayed because it was so bad? Was that ever fixed & released?
This movie is so bad i didnt even want to hear about it and left the video midway............
the movie reflects the character of the director writer
what did I just watch lmao that was the most confusing video essay you've done to date... can't be your fault either, all your other video essays made perfect sense
Bollywood just got a new worst movie courtesy of Salman khan. It's called radhe. Almost all mainstream Bollywood movies are bad but this one is just unwatchable
Mulan live-action: Am I a joke to you?
Matchless Mulan: I’m better than you!
Now days Chinese movies are boring. Always extra affects . Extra fight scenes . Always flying n no story
Its like a movie from a story inside manhua "absurd"
This is like that movie From Justin to Kelly, only with bad dancers and too many plot lines.
I'm curious, actually, what would be Chinese cinema's equivalent of "The Room"? As in, the best "bad" movie, it's so bad that the badness is what makes it so enjoyable?
This is like The Room and now I want a compilation of reviews of these types of movies from different countries, if they exist. I guess if they don't, then it would be just this and The Room.
These are the type of films that make you question if the age of watchable films is over.
Not quite. But if they continue doing mediocrity in production of films at a fast pace, they it may intensify further until it gets bloated and their value is depriciated just like the Video Game Crash of '83.
Amazing review! Lol there’s more effort put into the first minute of this review than the stupid film itself x 10.
im actually convinced such movies (no good story, tastless, bland, just using too much money) are used to launder money and evade tax.
Is the essay funnier than the movie?
