Running Time: 128 mins / Production Year: 2015~2016 / Theatrical Release: Taiwan, 2 September 2016
Long-legged Sue Chen, whose talent and life are neither outstanding, is fired by her long-time employer after messing up on the retail price of a product. Her life then turns topsy-turvy. With no choice, she takes on a sales job at a hypermarket. Her terrible promoting skill gains her atrocious sales and mocking from her senior, Mei.
Fortunately, she meets a triad boss, Jack, who teaches her a sales technic that eventually transforms her, re-establishes her confidence and gets her recruited into a TV shopping channel together with Mei, who Sue competes with for the “Ace of Sales.”
As the showdown between the two finally arrives, Sue is held hostage by her hosting partner, Rose, in the midst of a live show. A crazy breathtaking “sales” reality show goes live on air…

DIRECTOR
CHO LI

After producing critically acclaimed films with producer YEH Jufeng, she turns career to directing, in the hope of developing multi-faceted genre films with unique and irreplaceable point-of-view.
Taiwan’s shopping programs and politics panels on TV are so entertaining that they are a rare gem. When I am in a bad mood, these kinds of show always make me laugh and inspire me. As a reasonable person, I can not help but feel tempted to buy every thing advertised on TV shopping channels. Filmmaking is about bringing joy and hope to people and their troubled lives, so, why so serious?
