SYNOPSIS
A strolling actress ShaSha comes to Guiyang from Chengdu. She lives in a simple and crude room with her fellows, and shuttles among the entertainment places to find chance of performance. ShaSha has come into the society to live by herself since she was just in her teenage, so she has been early used to the life of opposite day and night. She considers herself as a mean actress. Although she always performs in those tiny nightclubs, she still feels satisfied. Her daily life consists of performing, having meals, sleeping, go shopping with her fellows occasionally, and play mahjong to pass the time.
One day, ShaSha’s girlfriend Butterfly takes a model group to Guiyang for performance. Her sudden appearance brings ShaSha an unexpected surprise. When there is no performance, they two stroll every corner of the city. ShaSha loves Butterfly in her own way, but they two still argue with each other because of some misunderstanding. After a bitter quarrel, Butterfly disappears from ShaSha.
In only a few days’ time, ShaSha has once again experienced a reverse of emotion. However, life doesn’t stop by it. ShaSha continues her performance in Guiyang, and continues to play the role of “She” and “He” both on the stage and in her true life…)
Director Biography
Director's Statement
<p>“I heard about the story of Sha Sha by chance. By my friend’s introduction, Sha Sha and I became to know about each other. After half a year’s communication, she and I became good friends. One day in May of 2006, with my curiosity, I followed Sha Sha to Guiyang from Chengdu. I came to the place where she worked and lived, and I came into her world.</p><p>There is no magnificent scene, no Hollywood’s 3 minutes’ exciting opening. All begins slowly in milk and water, and it is just like the story of our sister in neighborhood. Maybe some people would think the film too insignificant and trifling, but in fact they are just the mainstay of our life. A group of artists who eat box lunch everyday, a group of artists who lie in everyday, an artist who has just two dresses and wanders around without name and age, an artist who had been a journalist, an artists who colors up to the ears in arguing for one yuan, the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of two women, the conflicts among her and her and him … these are all the insignificance and trifling that I want to show.</p><p>Sha Sha is a talented girl. Her singing and confession run through the film. Here, I should give my thanks to her sincere and braveness in front of the shot. Through her sincere, I have seen Sha Sha with her paining childhood grows up to a special person living at the verge of society.</p><p>I have no word at this moment …”</p>
