Synopsis
Jian Bing Man (煎饼侠, 2015) is a Chinese action-comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Da Peng — writer, director and star — plays a version of himself: a popular TV host who agrees to produce a film for a shady businessman, with one condition attached: cast a particular actress as the lead.
A nightclub clip goes viral, Da Peng gets blacklisted by a powerful internet mogul, and the investor wants his money back. Left without options, he sets out to shoot a scrappy superhero film on no budget — about an alien named A Li who arrives on Earth and stumbles into saving the day. Jean-Claude Van Damme turns up at some point, which gives you a fair read on the film's energy.
Da Peng turned a real-life industry humiliation into something self-deprecating and genuinely funny. You don't need to know anything about Chinese showbiz for the comedy to land. Stream Jian Bing Man (2015) online on iFILM.
