Chim Sui-Man, who stepped into the film performance on the stage, was hailed as a master-level acting star by the film industry. Following Karena Lam Kar-Yan's worship of him as her teacher, Charlene Choi Tsoek-Jin also worshipped him and co-starred in the film "Simply Actors" (2007), which rarely talks about acting skills. The film tells the story of Chan Man-Long, a police officer who loves acting, played by Chim Siu-Man. He was sent by his boss to an acting school to learn acting skills. At the school, he met Dani Dan, a porn star played by Charlene Choi, and the two cherished each other. On the other hand, there is an emotional crisis between Chan Man-Long and his long-term girlfriend Judy (played by Michelle Ye Xuan).

Regardless of the film's discussion of acting skills, just from the emotional scenes of Chim Siu-Man, Michelle Ye and Charlene Choi, It's inseparable from screenwriter Chan Hing-Ka's "The Yuppie Fantasia" (1989) style, and it even seems familiar. However, this time he added the element of talking about acting. In one of the scenes, Chan Man-Long, played by Chim Siu-Man, asked Judy, play by Michelle Ye, for a "showdown". Judy gracefully proposed to break up, and Chan Man-Long saw through her acting. Michelle Ye performs two completely different versions at the same time, which is very like Woody Allen, and it's also the most appropriate place to describe the acting skills in the whole film.

Returning to the selling-point of the film - acting, Chim Siu-Man used his academy background to perform his acting skills, and there are many popular version of orthodox college courses. And Chim Siu-Man's performance of an actor without acting skills is reminiscent of "The King of Comedy". In the same way, the two films have to return their acting skills to real life at the end. The expert theatre janitor played by Anthony Wong Chau-Sang took Chan Man-Long to the street to see the reality, the "acting skills" of ordinary people, the interpretation of "Simply Actors" is much clearer than "The King of Comedy", which is also related to the participation of Chim Siu-Man, Anthony Wong and others, which is just a response in the dialogue between Chim Siu-Man and Anthony Wong in the production special, it's mentioned that the theoretical basis cannot be ignored in acting.
