Showbiz: A Billion-Dollar Director, Ruined by a Starlet

Reborn in 2005, in the directing department at Beijing Film Academy! Given a second life, how could he waste his knowledge of what’s to come? Make movies! Let the whole Chinese entertainment industry feel the shock! No crew? No problem! He casually talks the still-green Da Mimi into becoming his assistant, and slips her imported milk now and then... Even Tianxian, Reba, Yaya, Tangtang, Shishi, Yuanyuan, Tiantian, Ruonan, and Bailu keep dropping by the set... One future starlet after another lines up to “throw herself” at him! Watching the beautiful young women fawn over him, Fang Zhou realizes for the first time that having too much money can be a problem: he can’t even find an opportunity to spend it on promoting them! He makes Lost in Thailand? A low-budget film sweeps international awards, and the prize money leaves his hands numb! He makes Let the Bullets Fly? It turns everyone’s expectations upside down, leaving film critics wide-eyed: “Movies can do that?!” He makes Dying to Survive? It catches the attention of the nation’s top leaders, and speeds up healthcare reform! He’s invited to make a public-service ad about a young man? Audiences across the country cry their eyes out, and tissues sell out everywhere! Winning awards? Making money? Changing the world? Just part of the job! His real problem is that the young women are far too enthusiastic, and this perpetual-motion machine never stops. So... how is he supposed to schedule them all?
