My wife has become a weibo friend of one of the actors in the CCTV show I had a bit part.
It seems he is an Army actor, but by his own admission, he hates any movie or TV show made in China, says they all are
, with crappy themes, silly story lines, every script needs to be ok'd by government censors before production, followed word for word during filming (no ad-libs)and
producers who treat government watchdogs as royalty. Says that during his off time, he only watches Western television and movies on toudo and youko.
