Biography[]
Jimmy Chen has always dreamed of becoming an actor, but unfortunately he has almost no acting talent.
After years of vain attempts, he auditioned for a Hong Kong reality show, where he looked so shabby that he became an Internet star. The enterprising Chen jumped at the opportunity and became a web blogger whose celebrity stories are riddled with contempt and anger. As it turned out, his true gift is mockery and mockery of those who prevented him from fulfilling the cherished sword. His show was a resounding commercial success, but Chen had little respect and fame. He decided to become a real journalist, but used questionable methods to achieve his goals.
Collecting information for new material, Chen obtained incriminating evidence against a pharmaceutical company, who withheld the truth about the effects of its antidepressant. Rather than warn people straight away, Chen waited almost a year until the wave of suicides gave him a reason for a sensational publication.
