It's not like there's a whole bunch of movies that get a lot of people mocking them, then the ratings come out and they're proven wrong, right? 🤔
Here's a suggestion: create your own story like Yan Shuangying versus Captain America—I think that's fine. But please, don't make anything like Wolf Warrior. Less patriotic propaganda. Aim for a higher level. Be an international director, not a nationalist one. Make horror movies too. Stop with the national destiny trope. Eight out of ten books I recommend are about strengthening nations; it's unbearable.
It's quite well-written. It's like a fast-paced, exciting read, but not quite. The descriptions are very detailed. I read over 400 chapters in one go. Many things aren't glossed over; they're quite profound. Thumbs up! 👍👍👍
Is it the female lead, Su Yueling?
This is a very good book, very smooth, and the pace is fast and not dragging. In the first fifty chapters, I noticed three instances where the author seemed to get carried away with the writing, neglecting details, or preparing for a long, drawn-out passage, but they quickly corrected themselves. These slightly affected the reading experience.
It's not bad, just a little short 😄
It was quite enjoyable to read. It has a single female lead, but she's not described much; she's basically just background scenery. The main focus is on filming movies. The author must have watched a lot of movies; there were many I'd never even heard of or seen 🤦🤦. And... Please keep updating! Oh my god, I want to read *The Three-Body Problem* too!
The author is back to update! As long as I don't die from updating, I'll update like crazy! The author writes in too much detail! It would be nice if you updated faster, just a little bit each day. The filming process is described in such detail, and the description of one movie has been going on for a week and it's still not finished.
It's a decent read among entertainment industry novels; you don't need to completely lose your mind.
I think it's great, much better than any face-slapping incident.
