Synopsis

In January, 2007, a Taiwanese TV show titled‘One Million Stars’was launched for the first time. As the largest talent audition program in Taiwanese TV history, this reality show promised the winner a record company contract and a cash award of USD 30,000. The show was no different from any other‘star search’ competition, but once it began, it raised such sensation. The viewers were deeply touched by each participant’s sincerity, and as the show progressed, the fan base soared along with astonishing passion towards the show. Most of all, the show gathered emotionally detached family members together in front of the TV and offered them opportunities to talk with each other with the help of its various dramatic moments such as the young participants’passionate performances, joy and sorrow of winners and losers and their families cheering them from their hometown as they watched TV. By capturing the participants’on-stage performances as well as offstage realities and their personal lives, the film presents a wonderful drama of young Taiwanese who strive to become a star.
